The Rebekahs of this oity are planning it big time for their first meeting in May, when they are to invite the Halsey lodge of the ord. r to participate in a social and busi ness session, followed by a spread.

The Benton county court has is sued an order for the sale of numer ous tracts of land in the T Egerton Hogg estate, to secure funds to pay tne i.idabtedoeBS against the e-tute, including the e pen ho of adminis tration and other debts. The quarantine was raised from the ClauJe Starr home, Friday, and the premises fumigated. The other cases of scarlet fever are about well and no more trouble is reported. The cases were so mild that the scare seemed greatly exaggerated. Mr and Mrs. Autz n,of Portland, spent several days in this ci'y the last of the week, visiting their son, Tom, who is a student at OAC. They are wealthy peoplb of thn metropolis and are contemplating a move to Corvallis in order to place a daughter in the college. Miss Nora E. Miller has been making a courageous fight in this - district of the Telegram contest for the free trip to Jamestown. The contest cl. ed yesterday and Miss Miller will soon be notified o' the final result. She has worked faith fully for the honor and her many friends hope that she has won it. Miss Lena Tartar was given a Surprise party, Thursday evening, by the pupils of her grade of the public school. The hours were . pleasantly spent in listening to a recitation by the hostess, another bv Miss Blanche Hammel and a vo cal duet by Blanche Hammel and Janet Black ledge. Games were played and light refreshments con cluded a very happy evening. John F. Hurlburt was a Corval lis business v'sitor the last of the week. He is one of Benton's sub stantial farmers, and according to his statement, a little more rain just now would improve the con dition of the ground for plowing, .8 the sunshine and wind have dried out the gnund until some of the earth already plowed np is already too hard to work to advantage. A ciosa oisrver usually learns a lesson from nearly everything with which he comes in contact. Diw at the skating rink these evenings, such a person is struck by severa things. O.ie, the eaihmias n with which t'-ie American plunges into anv new end divertingfad: soother. the inherent selfishness of the av erage individual. Particularly is the latter noticeable when the new begi .ner starts to fall and makes a frantic grab for the person nearest. Not only does one fall but the near by neighbor is dragged down time and again bv the seltUh one wti.i see cs his or her own safety by such tnen?. It might be oalled tne law of self preservation but as the ' grabbiDg does no good it would eaem more clea rly a case of "if I must go you mu't go, too," which is the view gen-rail taken by all victims of the "grabbers." Bishop Castle of Philomath was business visitor ia Corvallis, Friday. Harold Strong came Up from Portland tne last or tne wee lor a few days' business visit. Dr. E. E.

David Odburn has tendered his resignation as night-watch of the city of Corvallis, to take effect at the next regular meeting of the city council. Just what plans Mr. Osburn has for the future are not known, but if he is' as successful in the future as he Las ' been as an of ficer he will do well. Word reached this ci'y the last of the week that Mrs. Nancy Bel knap died in Tulare county, Cali fornia Thursday, and was buried there Friday. Mrs. Belknap was a sister of Mrs. S. L. Shedd, of t'nis city, and resided for many years in southern Benton, where she has many relatives in the Belknap set tlement. The last grand ball to be given ever by the senior class of '07 of OAC, occurred at the armory, Fri d y e-reuiris, and was io every re spect an ideal affair of its kind. Good muic by the Peerless orches- ra of Salem, a lare crowd, pretty girls, handsome boys, dainty cs turaes and bewitching smiles, all combined to make the event mem orable and enjoyable. The last military ball of the season will be giyen by the Juniors. Virgil E. Watters purchased the Thomas Cooper farm ;t 264 acres, two and a half miles from Corva us, Thursday. Mr. Watters intends to out the farm into small tracts and put it on the market immediately tot fruit land, for vhiob there constant and increasing demand. Tiie idea is not only a good one but is certain to be a great benefit to the town of Corvallis and to Benton county in general, as it will attract persons who desire such tracts to locate here, and the example will no doubt be followed by others, -ho have large places that could be profitably sold in smaller parcels. Mr. Cbas. Sasse, the European agent of Norris & Rowe, has finally secured, after several years at tempts, a troupe of Cossacks and wild Russian acrobats and dancers which bears the name of the New- skyoff Troupe. These people are natives of the wild Steppes of far off Russia. l he men are super- naturally strong. Their daring feats of expert horsemanship arous es the wildest enthusiasm. The women piay upon odd musical in struments and are the most gract ful dancers and acrobats this coun try has e.er seen. This troupe is one of this year s attractions with this well known t-how, which is to appear in Albany on Wednesday, May 1st. A man may "knock" his town, patronize mail ordr houses, beat his wife and do many other thing?, but is it wise? Talk against the in terests of your town and you drive out competition and good citiz-ns, patrn.iz the mail order houses and you fatten the bank accounts of city merchants wnile your local mereh -wits fice starvation, whip your wife and yiu are n mey nd cream for the divorce courts. - But to get back to our point in view, about how many men do you sup pose oppose the interests o' their town? A fair estimate would be one-faurth, and while they are an eye sore to anv community, it would be impossible to check tnem as it would be impossible to regu late the color, sex and siz i of man kind. These men are hoodoo s to the world, but God breathed the breath of life into their measley frames for some purpose, so let them linger and dwell in their own miseries. Ex. In the estate of Mrs. Ann Comp ton, deceased, of which James Flett is administrator, Saturday, the 11th of May. baa been set as the date for hearing objection - to -the final ac count. In the matter of the estate of Floy Hawley, a minor, who has just attained her majority, S. M. Haw ley has been ordered to and has paid over to hei $500 in cash, the total of the amount to which she is entitled, and he is released from his t ust and his bondsmen are exoner ated. . Albany's new sawmill is now positively assured, and articles of incorporation were filed yesterday in the office of the county clerk. The name of the . sawmill company will be the Albany Lumber Com pany, and the incorporators are Nels H. Wheeler, J. N. Brandeber ry, and Henry Lyons. The capital stock of the eompany is placed at $15,000. The stock is divided into shares of $ 10C each. Herald. Mrs. W. L. Burton, who lives near Waterloo in Linn county, was seriously shot Friday afternoon in her left arm. Her husband was out after a chicken hawk when the 30.30 rifle he. was carrying was ac cidently discharged. The bullet struck a stone, glanced, struck Mrs. Burton in thn arm near the elbow and ranged upward, lodging near the shoulder, where it was cut out by the physician. Although she hasn't an enemy on earth that anyone is aware of, a certain Corvallis young woman, who is employed in an establish ment on . Main street, . was certain. one night last week, that some one was trying to poison her. On go ing to the faucet for a glass of mountain water the usually clear' beverage came foaming and hissing from the faucet, milk-white, and with a cry of alarm the young wo man cahed her fa' her to solve the mystery. Drawing another glass, the latter was equally as mystified as the daughter, and a member of the water committee was summon ed. After watching the sizzling liquid, the water man was about to give up the puzzie also, when it oc curred to him that the nigbt Defore the water mains had been thrown open to flush the pipes throughout the city, and at such timo? there are numerous air valves that. are also opened. In suddeuly closing the maims, next morning, the air was retained in the pies, causing the bubbles and foam iu the crater that so frightened the girl on Main fctreet, who has been much "joshed" about her scare. Miss Emma Sox, of Albany, has been the guest of Miss Alary Nolan, the past few days. The Methodist church ladies are to bold a Saturday market at Blaukludge's, Saturday. Patronize them. 36 J. W. Handy ia just completing a new barn on the place that he recently pur chased of Mr. Butolpu, in Joos addition. Bob Wilson, the young operator at Sum nit, was in the city the last of the week, for a brief visit with his mother, Mrs. Inez Wilson. Mrs. Rialto Weatherford and children, of Harrisburg, are guests at the home of the former's mother, Mrs. Homing, in South Corvallis. A picnic is being discussed by the Bellefountain Park Association, to take place the latter part of May. And it will probably rain. Mr. and Mrs. William Nichols of Southern Benton have been guests the past few days of the latter's parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Reese, in this city. Judge Parrish of Southern Oregon gave an excellent address in college chapel, Friday morning, which was very much appreciated by the 6tudeht body. The steamer Richardson that plies be tween Yaquina and Newport is to be thoroughly overhauled and repaired be- fore being put into use for the summer. The Lee Heakle residence property on north Main street, occupied by H. N Foster, was purchased the last of the week by Ed Strange, who is to make the place his home. The pupils of the tenth grade of the Bellefountain public school have just completed the work and are preparing for the final "exams." The tenth grade was added last fall and has proved to be a success in every respect. There is talk of a creamery being es tablished at Bellefountain. A number oi residents and dairymen of that neigh borhood met a few evenings ago and discussed the project, and it is not im probable that the meeting will bear fruit. Mr. and Mrs. W. Cathcart arrived Fri day from Texas for an over Sunday visit at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F' S. True. The travelers reside at Masqn City, Iowa, and are old neighbors of the Trues. They have been to Texas and are en route home. The members of the Zetagathean liter ary society of OAC held a skating party at the rink, Saturday afternoon, their guests being the Feronians. The affair was one of the jolliest of the year in school events and will long be remem bered by all who attended.
