Great Program Arranged for AH- ' Benton School Fair, Things are moving right along with the AU-Benton School Fair. The Finance Committee ; is fast completing arrangements for the greatesc time ever had in Benton county. Each day adds some thing new in the way of enter tainment to the occasion. Ar rangements have been complet ed with the Electric Light Com pany to light eight blocks with ed, white and blue lights, every fifteen feet apart. This will be the greatest electrical illumina tion ever had in Corvallis.' The city will be as light as day. The lights are to be on Main street from Wade & Ce., corner to the ccrner ot Corvailis Hotel, thence west to Court House. The grounds will be lighted as never before. Arrangements have just been made to secure ioo large Ameri can flags, four feet wide and six feet long, for decorating Mam street and grounds; besides the committee has over 500 yards of bunting with which to dress the court house grounds. This also promises to be the most specta cular decoration ever presented to the eye o- our citizens. The review ef the school child ren of the county by Governor Chamberlain and United States Senator Fulton will be a sight unparalelled in the history of even our oldest citizens. Think of a procession of from 1,000 to 500 school children in line, with flags waving from their hands, marching down "Main 1 stieet. Can you fancy a prettier scene. Ic is one that will touch the heart of every citizen in the couiaty who witnesses it. The fact the children will be review ed by our Governor and Senator FuUon is an honor which seldom j comes to lite ot out boys aud girls. The Governor and Sena tor are looking ahead to the event when they can grasp each proud young Ame. lean's hand, the flower of the homes of our county the pride of fathers and mothers in our midst our boys and girls. Let ever father and mother give their child this op portunity, possibly the only op portunity they will ever have to shake hands with the Governor of Oregon and a United States Senator. Such an honor should be coafered up.m every boy and girl in the county. Let every father and mother begin now to see to it that their children are in the parade. The Eiler Piano House of Port land will furnish the pianos for the Fair. Elaborate preparations are being made by this famous musical lnstrament house to have one of the finest displays of pianos ever made in our county. The committee in return for the con cessions gt anted it by this house has consented to allow them to display some of their pianos and ' furnish the music in the exhibit room, j Between $300 and $400 is to be spent in decora tions by this popular house.

SINCE FEB. 25th, 1893, The First National Bank of Cor vallis Has had on hand the "Burns & Barclay Auxiliary Home Sav ings Banks," which are a beauti ful ornament to any home. ' Ever since that time we have offered the use of those banks to bur customers, who desire to encour age savings in the home and open savings accounts with this bank. We have no trained experts or others to send and consume your time at your home or elsewhere, but as heretofore we freely offer tc any of our customers the use of the "Home Savings Banks." We want every person opening an account with us to do so freely and voluntarily and. milium p&rsuasfiunm This bank has uot paid interest on deposits since the financial stringency following 1893 until recently, for the reason there was not sufficient demand to enable us to loan them and get the in terest returned. ' J f During the past year business has become more active. Im provement is rapidly increasing. Money is in demand to ; improve and conduct the rapidly growing business of the country. We now find that we can in vest a lew interest bearing de posits, so as to warrant us in pay ing interest, and have again con cluded to give bur customers the benefit of these conditions by pay ing interest on savings accounts and time certificates of deposit. Our motto is, and ever will be, "Absolute Security of 2e nosit&rs' Money, without without ! - Regard to Large Earn" ingsm" We express our appreciation of the liberal patronage extended to us in the past, and trust we will merit a continuance of the same by conducting the business in the same conservative manner which' has carried us safely through all stringent times; and enabled us to grant loans to our customers when; less conservative institutions were unable to do so, but instead were calling for help. We are pleased to supply loan to our customers and render any assistance consistent with sound, conservative banking. Our methods are at all times open to the inspection of our friends and intending customers, and we solicit your examination of the same. With kind regards and best wishes, we respectfully remain, M. S. Woodcock, President. Walter T. Wiles, Vice Pres. Geo. E. Lilly, Cashier. C. H. Woodcock, Ass' t Cash.

Northern Indians Guard Secret of : Richest Aline. The management ot the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition which will be held at Seattle in 1909, proposes to reproduce at the exposition several of the famous mines of the North, that made dozens of millionaires dur ing 1898 and 1900. But the richest mine that the north has will not be reproduced for the simple reason that no whue men has ever seen it, and lived to tell the tale. In the early davs of the camp a certain, tribe of Indians from the north arrived in Dawson for the first time. To', the astonishment of the few that first saw the tribe every member haa several orna ments carved from great nuggets of virgin gold. This tribe had never met the white men before and to breathless inquiries the tribesmen told how near where they lived was a stream in. which the yellow metal could be picked up in chunks as big as one's fist. Near by, they said, there was a cliff in which the metel stood out like moss on a mountain side. The Indians soon learned the value ot their ornaments and shrewdly refused to tell where they got it. Nevertheless several prospectors triea to follow the tribe on the return to the north ern village, but the wily redmen easily succeeded in loosing the less agile paleface. Since then there has been several more or less secret and always unsuccess ful expeditions to find the lost gold of the Indians. Bad as Holy Rollers. The curious band of religionists of Des Moines, led by Mrs. Scott Ladd, wife of the chief justice of the supreme court, is employing . the idea of mar riage in neaven. 1 he ques tion is not popped. For instance, the other evening "Brother Brewer suddenly jumped up in meeting and exclaimed, "O, Lord, lead me to Mrs. Clyde Mil ler, whom the spirit tells me to marry." "Glory !"shouted Mrs. Miller. "My heart has left my body, and it tells me to become the wfe Jkn Brewer." The weaaing iook piace wnnin six hours. ' There are advantages in this kind of match-making. The human heart escapes the misery of long hours of uncertainty after an offer ot .mariiage has been presented. Divine intervention is called for instanter, and delays are kicked aside unceremonious ly. The conduct of the sect led by his wife has embarrassed Judge Ladd ot the Iowa supreme court greatly. For a time he re fused to believe , tne accounts or t'4e meetings, but he has now is sued a public statement in which he says if he finds his wife guilty of wrong doing he will not oppose punishment. If she is insane he will ask that she be sent to the hospital. If she is found of sound mind and persists in her conduct, the iudee intends to ask for a divorce. It is doubtful whether if ever before in the history of this coun try so many fanatical religious orgaaiz itiohs were "carried on." It is a kind of epidemic wide spread. The devotees get under the "power" and roll on the floor or jump up and down and shout in ; "strange tongues." The "Holy Rolle.s," which made headway here in the Northwest until the tragedies in Seattle, did not commit greater follies. than are being commited right along by other organizations of a simi lar character. Ex. Try a Change. In the Willametie Valley har vest is now on in - full blast. Threshing machines are abroad in the land and kernels of wheat and oats are running into sacks at the rate ef unto'd tbous n"s of bushels 'daily. But ha vesV this year will beof comparativtiy short duration as there is a de crease in the acreage when con trasted with that of tormer years. N t only is there less acreage than during former years, but it seems there is to be less yield al so. : It is reported from some sections that spring-sown grain is very light and fall-sown grain just fair. The same conditions appear to prevail in Benton and Linn counties, according to re ports to reach us. Now and then it is inoouraging to hear of good yield a spleuded yield such as was the rule in former years is tow the exception. There is no use in discussing the matter so far as the future regarding grain raisiug in the Willamette Valley is concerned. The history for this section as regards the "palmy days" of wheat-raising has been written. They belong to the past and will not return save after a period of years, when the soil shall have been enriched by the cultivation of other crops. Let wheat-raising go to the bow-wows for a time and engage in other forms of agriculture. Try diversified farming. Give dairying more attention and make more money. Dairying is ture money and is quickly made. The great dra wback to this busi ness is to get started as it requires cows and good' ones, too. The better the cows the better for the dairyman. It may take a little time to get started at this busi ness, but about as sure a way as any is for the farmer to save the heifer calves for a few years just before he quits grain-raising. He can then change from one busi ness to another without knowing how be. did. Change, as it were, "when the cows come in." Try it it will pay you. Burned Out. Through Mrs. Frank Wyatt of Philomath we learn that Red ding, Calif., was the scene of a disastrous conflagration a week ago Sunday. The loss sustained in the city is estimated at $100, 000, and a good portion of this loss falls upon former Corvallis ites. John Zeis had his ice factory, valued at $35,000, totally destroy ed, and there was no insurance. He also lost two residences and contents valued at $6,000, and on these he carried no insurance. Theodore Zeis lost a $3,000 resi dence on which, fortuaately, he had $1,000 insurance. Another former Benton county citizen who suffered a severe loss was Carl Dittmar, at one time a resident of Philomath. He lost a $2,500 residence, on which he carried 1,500 insurance. One whole block of the city was entirely burned out and part of another destroyed. It is estimated that the Zeis ice plant furnished fully one half of the artificial ice used in Northern Califo nia. It was the only ice factory in that section. Mr. Zeis was at one time proprietor of the Corvallis Ice plant. The fire also destroyed the Baptist and Catholic churches, the latter being a magnificent structure which was completed only about a year ago. Card of Thanks.
