PATHETIC ENDING.
Of Young Life Mother and- Babe
Dead The Funeral. - .
Mrs. Janie Newton-Brown,
whose home is at Oakesdale,
Washington, died at the home of
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. G.
Newton, near Philomath, Tues
day morning, about 7:30. An
infant child is sleenng the quiet
sleep of death by her side, which
tells the sad, sad story of blasted
hopes,- a home made desolate, nd
many hearts filled with bitter
anguish.
Janie - Newton was born in
Benton county 33 years ago the
19th of last March. Three years
aeo on Thanksgiving day fhe'l
was married to Robert Brown ol
Oakesdale, Wash., and went to
that state with her young husband
to make her home. The husband,
the parents, three married sisters,
Mrs. Diana McCoy of Washing
ton, Mrs. Mary Slayton of Idaho,
and Mrs. George Cooper of Ben
ton county; two brothers, Emery
J. Newton, recorder of Benton
county, Alva Newton, and an
unmarried sister, Miss Cora New
ton, besides a host of friends, are
lett to mourn the death of one
who was ever a loving wife,
daughter, sister and friend.
Deceased had been a member
of the Methodist Episcopal church
since early childhood, and the
funeral services will be conducted
by Rev. D. H. Leech of Corval
lis, at the Plymouth church, this
afternoon at two o'clock.
A large number of relatives
and friends will attend
the services and follow the re
mains to thei: last resting place
in Newton cemetery.
The sincere . sympathy ot the
entire community is extended 'to
those bereaved. x-
Building the "Y.'
1-
According to a rumor that has
been going the rounds this week,
the C. & E. depot wilt become a
union depot for all passenger
traffic coming into Corvallis, and
the old S. P. will be used as a
freight depot. While those who
are supposed to know are not giv
ing out details of the proposed
plans, it is known positively .that
men and teams have been em
ployed this week at the C. & E
crossing north of town, grading
and laying track for a "Y" on
which the S. P. trains will be
transferred to the C. & E. tracks
and thence brought into the latter
depot in this city. It is knowa
also that a new timetable goes
into effect on the 10th and the
story is that the change will be
come effective on that date. -
Corvallis has long needed a
union depot, as tne transter or
freight from one depot to the
other has been most annoying to
the traveling public. Whether
the new arrangement will bf
permanent, or whether it is only
a preliminary step looking to
greater and better things is not
known; but at any rate it is a step
in the way of improvement ot
depot facilities and as such will
meet with hearty approval from
the public.
Help It Along.
But few readers, we imagine,
ever give a thought to the value
of this paper to the community.
The .home paper has an nSuence
for good that is hard to overesti
mate. It molds public opinion ;
it does well its part in protecting
and preserving the government.
It takes the place of a standing
army in guarding the liberties of
the people; it teaches your chil
dren morality, truth and powei ;
it brings many rich blessings to
the homes it visits with but little
financial reward for its labors;
and in too many instances not
any. The home paper is the
mirror in which those at a dis
tance see us, says an exchange.
It is the plain duty cf all who"
are interested in our town to take
personal interest in the town's
paper ann ss' in eveiv way

Oregon News Notes.
Governor Chamberlain has ap
pointed delegates to the Trans
Mississippi Commerical Congress
to be held at Muskogee, Oklaho
ma, November I9'h-22nd. Hon.
Arthur F. Francis,, secretary of
the Congress, requests every com
merical organization in Oregon
to name delegates and report to
him immediately at Muskogee.
The advance of Oregon and
the Pacific Northwest in live
stock will be spleudidly illustra
ed at the hoTse show in Portland
on the 7th, 8th and 9th of this
month. Entries have alteady
surpassed expectations and a
large attendance is anticipated.
A great deal ot interest is be
ing manifested in the Oregon
State Good Roads Convention to
be held at the rooms of the Port
land Commercial Club November
I4th-i5. Hon. John H. Scott, of
Silem, President of the State
Association, urges the appoint
ment of delegates and asks for a
large attendance. There will be
present a number of able speakers
who have given years to practical
road-building. The county
judges and county commissioners
o? Oregons are especially respon-
'sTuie tor the success "or-tnis'meel
ing and are urged to send dele
gates. The same is true with re
gard to commercial, industrial,
agricultrial, and horticultural
societies, reporting a list of same
at once to President Scott, at
Salem.
Checks :payable only through
clearing house" get the money
just the same as the old fashioned
kind for necessary purposes. This
little hesitation in the stream o'.
financial wealth, when Oregon is
producing for the good year 1907
a lumber product of $30,000,000,
live stock and wool worth $20;
ooo.oco, poultry 'and eggs worth
$3, 000,000, a grain crop worth
$15,00,000, and a fruit crop of
$5,000,000, and erecting building
worth $20,000, oco, seems just a
little queer, and things will right
themselves. Oregon banks have
plenty of money, our people are
out of debt, our mortgages are
paid, and a little cool judgement
and optimism will bring us out
all right
The Sweetest Girl in Dixie'
Wins Praise in Portland.
Monday's Oregonian has the
following to say regarding "The
Sweetest Girl in Dixie" which is
playing a week's engagement in
Portland : Patterson's companies
from Chicago have been so far
this season among the best on the
road. "The Sweetest GirJ in
Dixie" is without question one
of the cleanest and most enter
taining comedy-dramas seen at
the Empire in many a day. The
atmosphere of the play is good to
take into the system, and it leaves
no bad taste in the month. With
anyone who has been in the
beautiful Southland and mingled
with the warm-hearted people
the other side of the Ohio River,
this play creates a feeling of
bomesicKuess; and those who
never knew the delights of a resi
dence or visit to that enchanted
land are sure to have a desire te
go after witnessing "The Sweet
est Girl." The company is even
ly balanced atsd all cf the parts
well played."

ADAM RADiR.
Buried Yesterday Something of
His Life Told in Brief.
THe funeral ' the lnte Adam
Radi', wbodi-V at his home in
this city Tur(sd-v night at nine
o'clock, occurrrd from the Epis
oapal churrh yt-terday afternoon
it two o'clock, Uiev services be
ing conducted bv Rev. Arm
strong, rector. The remains
were interred in Crystal Lake
cerretery beside those of his wife
who died last January. Mr.
Radir had been very, ill for two
months with Brights dtsease and
during that time was unable to
lie down- A week ago he was
confined to his bed and death
came to his relief Tuesday night.
u ceasea was Dorn at lirossbie
btrau, Germany, July 29,-830.
He learned the blacksmith" trade
at which he worked until he
entered the army, serving three
vears in the barracks and on the
field. He was a very successful
master mechanic, and believing
that greater opportunites awaited
him accross the water he sailed
for the United States in 1852,
becoming acquainted on the
ocean voyage with Miss Margaret
Lieson, a native of Irland, to
whom he was married in 1876 in
Pittsburg.
Mt. and Mrs. Radir later came
to Oregon, purchasing 181 acres
ot land one and a half miles east
of Corvallis, known as the Radir
homestead. They acquired other
property in later years, the place
now comprising 293 acres.
The survivors are three daugh
ters, Mrs. Richard Graham and
Mrs. Millie Smith of Corvallis,
and Mrs. Stephen Whitmore of
Pennsylvania. '
Mr. Radir was an honorable
citizen, and that he was of a gen
erous, kindly nature was shown
in the grief of numerous little
children who mingled their tears
with those of their elders over
the passing ot their friend Adam
Radir.
Famous Play Coming.
One of the events of the theat
rical season will be the appearance
of "Under Southern Skies"
on November 14th. The play
is in the author's most delightful
vein 'and when it is remembered
that Lottie Blair Parker, who
wrote Under Southern Skies, also
wrote Way Down East, much
may be expected:
"Under Southern Skies" is
full of life, light and gaiety,
and fills the audience with the
spirit of youth and romance. The
great beauty of the. scenic set
tings, the dainty costuming, the
many amusing and diverting
characters and incidents, the
absobing love story, the Hal
lowe'en celebration and pumpkin
dance, all go to make "Under
Southern Skies" one of the most
delightful and satisfying enter
tainments now before the public
The company is very.large num

H -zing.
There was a hazing n' '.
great University of California the
other day. Tnere the editor of
the college publication dared to
criticise the use of cigarettes by
the co-eds and a crowd ot stud
ents inveigled him from his
bome, overpowered him by force
of numbers and heaped upon him
the crowning outrage of a college
hazing.
In "commenting editorally on
the matter the Portland Journal
throws another, "booquet" to
OAC in the following paragraph:
"The Berkeley incident recalls
the late manly action ot the stud
ents at the Oregon Agricultural
college, who seized upon a similar
occasion to set the seal of their
condemnation upon hazing as a
discarded relic of an uworthy K
aee. The big California institu
tion can, if it tries, learn a whole
some lesson in ordainary ethics
from students of the less pretent
ious Oregon college."
"The Sweetest Girl in Dixie
' Monday Night.
"The Sweetest Girl in Dixie" is
full of heart interest, clean and
wholesome throughout.. The
steady march of commercialism is
fast driving romance from us,
but the South will be slow to
yield to the invader, Jfor it is the
home oi chivalry, the home of
fair women and brave men, the
place where the sun shines bright
est, where the women speak soft
est, and the men love strongest
thats "Dixie Land." "The
Sweetest Girl in Dixie" one of
the best attractions of the season
will be seen at the opera house
next Monday night. Seats now
on sale. Prices 35, .so and 7.
