At a meeting of the local lodge of the Knights of Pythias, Monday evening, the boys voted the sum or $100 for the relief of fellow Knights who were destitute in the awful dis- ster of San Francisco. Tnis, so far as is known, was the first action on the part of any lodge of Knights tn Oregon for the relief of their fallows, and considering the mem bership of Valley Lodge No 11 is a most liberal contribution.

Among many responsible positions, he has held the office of county eehool Buperindtendent and county clerk, and for several years has been president of ona of the banks in Roseberg; which is to say that he is a man of affairs who will show ability in auditing the bills of the state and will be a splen did regent for the OAC which office comes to him ex-officio. ON GUARD IN 'FRISCO. A Corvallis Boy Tells of Scenes in the Stricken City. lne ioliowine letter was re ceived Wednesday by Mrs. F. P. Morgan, of this city, from her 'on, Charles, who is now on duty in San Francisco: San Francisco, April 22, 1906. Dear Mother: We are now in 'Frisco and doing duty on shore in the ruins vou will probably like to hear a word. We arrived Friday last. ana sent every available man on shore to do shore duty guarding helpless people and partly burned buildings where there is any thing tor ' thugs to steal. So many thugs have come to find loot that there is no safety for people out at night. The place is unaer martial law, ana our orders are to shoot all suspicious person alter one order to hault. At night there is shooting going on all the time, and conveyances ot all kinds are continually run ning to the hospitals. Our orders came three hours af ter the shock to leave San Diego, and proceed immediately to this place. We arrived on Friday morning at 6 a. in. Today being Sunday the Cap tain had us all ' back on board ship for Sunday inspection, but we will probably be on shore tonight. My chum and I keep together, and he says the flag' snip nas just ordered our com pany on shore again : but we do lots for the people. They are in need of everything even water, as it is very scarce and guarded all the time. Thev camp out on vacant lots and line up at the ions ana DarracKs tor provisions which other cities send in, and the military forces take charge of. Money is no good now, and rich and poor alike are camping together and living as best they can. A good many homes went up by dynamite, as that means was resorted to in order to get them out of the way of fire and keep it from spreading. It was hard for us to be compelled to drag a family out and blow their home up without letting them take anything but bedding not scrap of furniture: then blow the houses to atoms in two sec- ends, but that was orders and di?obedience brings bullets with out any parley. I never imagined such a pathetic sight. The entire busi ness section and part oftheresi c'e ice portion is simply heaps of ashes. The quake shook down ! buildings and opened cracks in the streets, then it all burned. We saw the glow of fire 90 miles down the coast, and it spread larger all day Friday; but dyna mite stopped it to a large extent, and the fire mostly died out yes terday. Now looting is worse than ever, and this state will con tinue for a week or ten days more. I lo k out for No. 1 in dangerous places, so don't w rry about me. Only one man was shot from this ship, and he was drunk on his own loot. We are rushed from noon one day to noon the next, so will write again when there is another chance. Affectionately your son, Charles Morg an, Gun Capt., TJ. S. S. Marblehead. Difference in Countries. Major Joseph T. Dickman, 13th Calvary, made the annual in spection of the military depart ment ot the Oregon Agricultural College, Monday afternoon. 527 cadets registered this year, the total registration being 734 stu dents to date. The inspection of cadets throughout the United States is made by a board of four officers simultaneously who report in Washington City in June. They then compare notes and make recommendations to bring about greater uniformity in inspection and efficiency in the service. The Major states that he is sur prised at the degree of appre ciation manifested by patrons of the State Colleges of the moral and physicial development of young men. He said: "In thi3 country the military standard is gradually rising, and young men are drawn from- the farms to the towns and factories that it "seems exceedingly difficult for the majority to reach the military standard. For this reason, the British government is making conscriptions of young men at an age when they are most sus ceptible of development; and thus the nation hopes to overcome in dications that bear 'symptons of urban degeneracy." .,; Received Re-Appointment. B. W. Johnson has received his third appointment as postmaster of Corvaliis. When the period of the third appointment has been served Mr. Johnson will have filled this office twelve years. The requirements of the local omce are such as to necessitate an efficient man and an endorsement of a large majority of our people stamp Mr. Johnson as the man. A short time before Mr. John son's appointment he received the following short note from Senator F.ul ton which shows the esteem in which Mr. Johnson's administration of the affairs of his office is held by the departmental Washington: 1 assume that yiu will want to be re-appointed to the pobtmaster- hip. 1 received a letter from the department that your commission would expire on the 30 Lh of June and asking me to submit a name as your successor. They eay, how ever, that your work has been satis factory m every way aud that they would be well pleased to have you recommended for re-appointment." Sunday's' Concert.

Every partlof a Ralston is in proper proportion to every other part. That means Ralston Health Shoes don't dis- tort or vary the natural, structural Hues of the boot to achieve style. They are the most stylish shoes on the market, yet they never depart from the hygienic principle of nature proportions. Ralstons will feel like home to your feet. They fit the feet at the start no need of breaking in. 'B S3 hssmiSl THE PEOPLE'S STORE. ESTABLISHED 18G4. WOOL and WASH Y Our first shipment of Wool, Mohair, and Wash Dress Goads has arrived.
