The Corvallis lodge I. C. 0. F.
entertained tnis week, thei guests j
being 14 members of the rhilomath
lode. The new work of the first
and second degrees was "put on,"
three ciadidates were initiated, two
of whom were from Philomath, and
a banquet was the concluding fea
ture. About 55 persons attended
the affair, which was in every way

guests was Dr. Loggan, district de
puty of the order.
There hj,a been quite a scare out
at Philomath over a case which
was supposed to be diphtheria, but
concerning which there is still
much doubt. The victim is a little
girt in the family of George Bennett,
newcomers fron the East. Several
collge Btddents roomed at the bouse
and when the illness of the child
htcame questionable the students
were all callei in and the house
was ouarantined. For a time there
was talk of closing the school, but
the little girl is able to be shout
the house at rlay, and th9 opiniou
is gaining ground that tha ailment
may not have been diphtheria.
A most cordial invitation is ex
tended to the public to attend the
services f the Bsptl t church in
this cit-. The pastor was glad to
welcome so manypersons who cauie
to the services for the first time

scarcity ot copper sulphate, com
moniy called blue stone, used in
compounding spraying mixtures.
It is declared that nearly all
dealers report a shortage, al
though some anticipated a scarcity
and ordered large quantities early
in the season.
Horticultural papers in Cali
iorma say that it is almost lm
possible to procure copper sulpate
there, and growers are planning
to use something else that will
serve the purpose nearly as well.
Not only will growers have
difficulty in securing this essent
lal of Bordeaux mixture, but
those who do get it will find it
more costly than in previous
years. Last year growers in
vicinities paid seven cents a pound
for copper sulphate. This year
the price is already t.2 cents a
pound and may gj higher when
the buying begins.

The briia was prettily attired
in a costume of white net over
white silk, with veil, and carried
white enrysanthemums. The
bride's maid was Miss Cleo John

silk mull over silk. Joseph How

gratulations had been showered
on the happy pair, a sumptuous
dinner was served. The decora
