Udder Important.
; The first and aU Important point In
electing a cow la to note the else of
the adder, -whether It la large, uni
formly placed, with teats at the.
proper distances; to note whether the
udder Is flabby and not fleshy, which
Is particularly apparent Immediately
after milking. According to the laws
of correlation, a cow that Is a large
milker must necessarily develop a
large udder, says Professor Erf, and
If free from fleshiness the size of the
odder Is one of the truest Indications
of efficiency In an animal.
Bridle the Self Sucker.
An Ohio dairyman says his cow was
continually sacking herself until a
neighbor told him to put a common
ten cent bridle bit on her, which he did
by making a form of a bridle with a
little rope. He says she has never got
her milk since, although she tries very
hard sometimes. After wearing it a
few days Bhe can eat and drink all
right, and she has free use of her head
jo chase flies.

In my opinion the greatest liv
ing teacher of sinking is ilme. Ma
thilde Marchesi of Paris. I think
her a marvel of scientific method,
and when she goes" from us we shall
have lost a personality impossible to
replace. The spirit of her method
derived in turn from old Manuel
Garcia and directly through him
from the long line of Italian mas
ters may be crudely summarized
as follows: "Change to the middle
notes on F. Begin the head notes
on F sharp, and once on the head
notes alwa3-s sing pianissimo."
While with her I took only three
short lessons every week. But I
worked eight hours a day studying
theory, tradition and technicthe
old Italian technic that tells a pupil
how to "filar il tuono" to spin a
"tone as subtly and delicately as a
spider spins its almost impalpable

ARE YOU COMING?
But of Course You Are To the
Big Celebration.
Think of music by a splendid
brass band, singing by 50 girls,
selections by a first-class quar
tette, a big basket dinner at noon,
and numerous other attractions
in the forenoon, and how need
less to ask, "Are you coming?"
Why, of course you are, and so
is everyone else for miles and
miles around, for Oorvallis is the
only town hereabouts that is go
ing in for a genuine old time
celebration with all the new and
up-to-the-second ideas added.
Not a thing has been left undone
and not an effort has been spar
ed to make the occasion one to
be remembered a life-time by all
who attend.
There will he a parade that
will include floats representing
the business houses, lodges, and
other things; a liberty car filled
with pretty children with flags
and white costumes; a beautiful
Goddess of Liberty, a Goddess of
Peace and another of Plenty,
and last but not least, a "mys
tic" parade of the plug ugliest
"plug uglies" that ever came to
town.
In the afternoon, after, a bas
ket dinner on the court house
square, there will be a boys'
foot race, a potato race, sack
race, old men's race, bicycle race,
three-legged race, obstruction
race, 100-yd dash, tug of war, la
dies' footrace, 220-yd dash, hose
race, greased pig race, climbing
a greased pole, launch race, ca
noe race, swimming match and a
multitude of other features of
interest. . '
The C & E. railroad company
has made a cheap rate over its

comes the word that the people
are coming to Corvallis to cele

a great day in Corvallis.
CRAWLED OVER PIANO.
While Flames Roared all Around
and Roof Fell.
Fire was discovered in the
Hale residence located four miles
from Albany on the Corvallis
Albany road, about 11 o'clock,
Wednesday night, and when the
alarm was first given by the in
mates detecting the odor of
smoke, the flames were already
eating into the woodwork, and
spreading in every direction
The family was at once aroused
and a number of the nearbv
neighbors called to assist in sav
ing what was possible of the
household goods.
Mr. Hale had a narrow escape
from death when in company
with a number of neighbors an
effort was made to remove a val
uable piano from the burning
building. The instrument had
been shoved out into the hallway
and half way through the door
way to the porch, says the Her
aid. Those assisting Mr. Hale
were on the outside while Mr.
Hale was in the hall endeavo: i ng
to shove the instrument through
the doorway onto the porch.
Suddenly one of the women spec
tators on the outside cried that
the roof was about to fall in, and
the men on the porch ran for
safety. Mr. Hale being on- the
inside was unable to escape for a
few minutes. Alone he endeav
ored to shove the heavy piano
through the door bnt was unable
to bnlge the unwieldly obstruc
tion. By this time the smoke
and flames were envelopicg every
thing, and tealzing that he could
not move the piano, Mr. Hal
pulled himself up and manage,
to squeeze through the narrow
opening over the top of the in
strument A moment after his escape the
entire house collapsed allowing'
the piano to fall into the flaming
debri, where it was totally de
stroyed. Hardly anything o4
value was saved of the household
goods. The loss was in the
neighborhood of $1500. There
was no insurance.
Cannot Get Brick.
Out on college hill the new
woman's building is growing
rapidly, a thing ot architectural
beauty and. a credit to the entire
town. But Contractor Snook
has met with many difficulties is
his labors, and many annoying
delays have had to be endured.
The clay for the pressed brick
to be nsed in the structure is tak
en from the clay banks at Buena
Vista, and Mr. Snook, being un
able to secure enough teams at
Buena Vista to haul the clay to
Parker station thence to be ship
ped by S. P. trains to Newberg,
had to hire teams in Corvallis,
send them to Buena Vista to do
the hauling, and even then had a
strenuous time ot it. But the
trouble did not end there. The
clay was shipped, made into
brick at Newberg. and is all
ready to be sent back to Corvallis
to enter into the construction of
the handsome new building on
college bill, but the railroad com
pany declares now that no cars
are available in which to transfer
the bricks to this city.
In all lines of work there are
annoyances, and Mr. bnook cer
tainly has bis share.

Bad Odor In Butter.
Milk will absorb any odor near which
It may be placed, and the flavor some
times noticed on butter that Is not
batter flavor may be attributed to the
fact that the cream has been allowed
to rise in a room having vegetables
that discharged some peculiar odor.
KeeDlna Out te Bacteria.
It is not so much the dirt that makes
the milk unclean It Is the number
of undesirable bacteria that enter with
it Pure milk Is flavorless, almost
tasteless. It Is th presence of bac
teria that makes It unwholesome, sour.
putrid. Keeping the dirt and filth out
keeps the undesirable bacteria out also.
Milk vessels should be rinsed with
cold water before any hot water is put
into them: otherwise the scalded mun
adheres to the tin and Is difficult to re
move. After ritslns: they should be
washed In warn soap powder suds,
rubbing every part with the cloth, and
then scalded with boiling water.
IS RESTING NOW.
Mrs. A. T. Qrugett The Funeral
Saturday in Corvallis.
Another happy fireside is deso
late, another husband's heart
aches for the wife who was in
deed bis queen, and a little baby
girl pleads in vain to be taken
home to "mamma."
- Death has smitten the home of
Af T. Grugett, a lormer well
known Corvallis man, and out in
Monroe cemetery under a fresh
mound rest the remains of Mrs.
Grugett who died at Mill City,
Thursday.
The ailment was peritonitis
and in spite of all that medical
skill could do and love and ten
der .care accomplish, a week's
illness ended in the quiet sleep ot
death, on Thursday,
Mrs. Grugett was in girlhood
Miss Ella Winn, of near Junction
City. She was married to A. T.
Grugett about four years ago,
and two years ago the first part of
this month a little girl came to
bless the home where children
were dearly loved by both par
ents. Mrs. Grugett was never robust,
however, and Mr. Grugett, who
was a well-known salesman for a
long time at S. ,L. Kline's, and
later the bookkeeper at the Cor
vallis sawmill, decided to resign
the latter position and go to Mill
City, where he was offered a good
salary as general manager of the
Curtiss Lnmber Company's big
store. Mrs. Grugett emoved bet
ter health in the mountains and
for that reason the news of her
death camt as a great shock to
friends in Corvallis. She was a
gentle, considerate lady, a chris
tian whose faith was steadfast to
the end, and her early passing is
a source of deep grief to many,
while the bereaved husband and
motherless baby have the heart
felt sympathy of all.
The tuneral occurred from the
First Methodist church at 9 a. m.
Saturday, the services being con
ducted by Rev. G. H. Feese, and
the temains were taken by private
conveyance to Monroe tor inter
ment.
NO CLOSED SEASON.
Good News for Oregon
Anglers.
What It Is.
Anglers will be surprised to
learn that there is no longer a
closed season for trout fishing in
the state of Oregon except in the
Umpqua river and its tributaries,
and anglers may fish for trout at
any time of the year in any river
or creek in the state except the
Umpqua river and its tributaries,
says an exchange.
inis condition ot anairs was
brought about by the last legis
lature by an act which amends
the old law.
The closed season for trout
was foimerly November, Decern
ber, January, February and
March and was prescribed in
section 2034 of the code. By an
act of the last legislature this
section was amended, so that cow
the only statute providing a
closed season for trout reads as
follows:
"It shall be unlawful for any
person tc take, catch or have in
possession any trout except
salmon trout, during the months
of December, January, and
February of any year taken from
the waters of the Umpqua river
or its tributaries, or at any time
to take, catch, kill or have ib
possession any trout, char or
salmon less than five inche-t in
length, or to take, catch, or kill
the same by any means whatever
except with hook and line com
monly called angling."
It is held that the closed season
provision ot this amendment ot
the old law applies only to the
Umpqua river and its tributaries,
leaving no law whatever provid
ing a closed season for trout fish
ing iu any other stream in the
state. The bill was introduced
by Representative Jackson, of
Ruse burg, and was passed with
out change. The amendment is
found on page 54 of the 1907
sess'on laws.
The old section which was su
perceded by Jackson's bill is no
longer in force.
AT NEWPORT.
Some Improvements There New
Business Houses.
Many improvements are being
made at Newport. The main
thoroughfare from Fall street to
Nye creek' has been grubbed and
graded to its full width and
presents a fine appearnce, says
Sunday's Herald.
The cement bulkheads put in
by McDonald and the City, make
a permanent protection to tne
shore for a distance of 380 feet.
i he sink back of the wall,
100 feet wide and six to seven
feet deep will be filled by wash
ing in the face of the bluff. An
engine and pump have been pur
chased for the purpose. This will
not only add largely to the ap
pearance of the water front but
it will afford the city permanent
whaifage on deep water.
It Newport is wise she will
never allow this valuable piece of
water front to pass from her
possession.
In addition to the building and
repairing of cottages there are
several large buildings, the skating-
rink and dancing hall that
attract the attention of the
visitor.
in tne business structures we
noticed the curio building of A.
L. Thomas of Nye Creek and
Dr. Dabney's dental parlors on
Fall street.' The Thomas build
ing is, as yet, a cuiio itself as it
contains only two walls and a
ceiling vhe vistors can draw on
bis imagination to supply the bal
ance. Dabney's office is neat and
attractive and a man with an
aching tooth could not help tak
ing notice of it.
Among new business firms
Krosftad and Carter, druggists,
have one of the most attractive
stores in the city. The firm evi
dently has faith in the future of
Newport.
Wedded Sunday.
The handsome country home
of Mr. and Mrs. John Whitaker
was the scene of a pretty wedding
at 4 o'clock, Sunday afternoon,
when Miss Maud, tne youngest
daughter, was united in marriage
to Fred Ireland, son ot Mr. and
Mrs. W. P. Ireland.
The impressive ring ceremony
of the Catholic church was per
formed by Rev. Father Colbert
of Portland, in the presence of
only a few relatives.
The hnae who is a very charm
ing girl, was prettily gowned iu
white. The bride's maid was
Miss Bessie Ireland and Orville
Whitaker was best man.
After the ceremony a delicious
wedding dinner was served, the
dining room being artistically
decorated with cut flowers, and
in the evening Mr. and Mrs. Ire
land drove to their cwn home
across the river, where a nicely
furnished house awaited them.
Both bride and groom are es
timable young people, members
of prominent families, and the
congratulations and good wishes
of many friends are extended.
The guests at the wedding
were : Mr. and Mrs. John Whita
ker, Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Ire
land, Bessse and Glenn Ireland,
and Peter and Orville Whita
