Weather Comment That Does not Fit, Owing to Change Dele gates to Convention. The beautiful sprine weatner still continues. Our friends in the Bast would be surprised to glance at our gardens.

A live eagle, measuring about seven feet or over, was shipped to Kennett, California, on last Fri day by Frank Wyatt. The eagle was caught on Christmas morn ing in a steel trap and kept in a poultry house. It had become quite subdued, almost domesticat ed and Mr. Wyatt was contem plating turning it among bis barnyard fowls as a novel "edi tion" of poultry, but shipped it to Kennett instead, where it was expected to participate in the in stituting of . an eyrie of the OrdeT of Eagles last Saturday night. Ii caused considerable excitement among the youtg people while in town and at the express office. The friends of our young pho tographer, George Leeper. were glad to hear that their expecta tions were finally realized and that the long expected had hap pened to the satisfaction of al! concerned.

Of general interest in this community is the following dispatch from Portland : Portland's great annual institution, the Rose Festival, which was inaugurated last Jane under such auspi ieus circum stances, will, this coming June, be con summated on a scale so broad and grand mat it will have a general appeal to the whole state of Oregon and an individual appeal to every community in the ' com monwealth . Tbe grand jubilee, which will be sue round of pleasure for tbe whole week beginning Monday, June 1st and ending in a blaze of glory tbe follow ing Saturday night, is not for Portland or Portland people alone. One of its most spectacular and brill iaut . features is to be the matAifiuent street pageui.t. This is a competitive event 01 en to all cities aud towns of Ore gon outside of tbe Rote City. There will be grand prizes, the capital prize being a princely sum ia cash with a number of costly souvenir cops and other trophies of great value and beauty. Up to the present time about 20 cities and towns of Oregon have been heard from, each showing great interest in tbe special state parade, and several of these towns, through I heir business organiza tions and "booetintt" clubs, tave sent representatives to this city to confpr witM tbe festival management witb rt-ierencc to character ot tt.e floats whk-b will make the most effective showing for their com muuitiec.

I What a Citizen Said of It. . v - W. H. Millbollen of this city was in Portland a few days ago and the Journal quotes him in regard to. what tbe proposed cannerry is doing for Corvallis and vicinity. Tbe Journal Monday says : ' Corvallis is to have a new fruit and. vegetable canning factory of large , capacity. Since this be came a certainty a new impetus has been given to Corvallis real estate. W. H. Millbollen of Cor- vallia said to-day : , ."Through the Commercial club f Corvallis J. W. Searls, western managei for the Hastings Industrial company, with head quarters at Spokane, Washington nas floated and sold the stock necessary to buy ground, build the-plant and eauio it with the latest Improved canning machin ery. Everything about this plant will be modern; it will be the most complete, fruit and vegeta ble kitchen west of the Rocky mountains. - The Hastings Indus trial company will build all build ings necessary for the canning plant, also ice plants, up-to-date creameries, cold -storage plants and wll handle all kinds of sepa rators for tbe farmer. This one enterprise in Corval lis is doing more to stimulate the fruit and Vegetable business than any one enterprise that has come to Corvallis in years. Ivand is being planted and tracts sold for fruit and vegetable production. ! There will be at least 75 acres planted 'to tomatoes alone around Corvallis i which, in. retiira-?ill put ' tato 'circulation in round numbers about $15,000. ; Peas, beans, r . pumpkin, squash, all varieties of ; cherries and other fruits will be canned, which will give employment iu the factory to about 75 women and girls and 10 to 15 men and boys, and em ployment to five times that many on the small truck and fruit gar dens. This factory will be run on business principles by busi ness men. It will put more money into circulation than any other enterprise ever started in and around Corvallis, Everyone here is boosting for the cannery." Postponed. On account of the big Musca tine basket ball game at the Ar mory on next Saturday evening, Dr. Bell's "Poe's Raven" enter tainment is postponed to next Tuesday. evening, March 3.

MONROE WANTS RAILROAD Surveyors at Work on Carver Line Supposition that It Will do To Junction. Monrce, Or., Feb. 25. Mon roe has no formally organized booster club, but every Monroe man is a booster from the ground up. There are here a creamery, a fl mr mill, one of the largest general mercantile establish ments in tbe state, a fine school building, two churches and a cannery. A railroad is badlv needed. ' Carver has ordered his latest survey to be made in a south easterly direction Irona the Bar clay lane, and should the line be built there, it w ll leave Monroe two miles away to tbe south However, ii ks thought by some that this is on'y a tactical move lesigned to out the ptople of Monroe ioto rlie mr.od for a sub stantial bor. 'i to have the road extended to the town, and that ihe line will ultimately be built jd south to Junction Ciiy. The Southern Pacific does not undervalue the potential traffic ini the lucnbier now standing in the great - forests around the upper Alsea and in the Ike Creek country. 1 and the toad will r 1 provided with a spur into tSose regions should tbe main line be run through the upper Willam ette valleyY The surveyors are this week to locate the line up Muddv and will probably pass through'the ranches of A. N Zierolf, W. F Stair, Charles Cartwright, Mrs. Ingram, Emil Howard and J. Bailey. " From tbe latter place, on which it is retorted a statr'on is to be made, the line will ex tend in a southerly direction ard gf across the pass into Alsea and upper Lake-Creek.

O. O. F. was organized, since which time manv men have traveled tbe way to Jerico and earned bhe lesson of humanity so forcibly taught by this noble or der. No grander principles than Friendship, Love and Truth were ever inculcated in the tenets of a secret soe'ety and the Odd Fel lows have always proven true to the trust, pouring balm into the souls of wounded brethren in the struggles which sometimes come. Many a widow and orphan has learned to sing her praises and could the reader pay a visit to the home now. prepared at Portland! for those! who are dependent upon the .order your heart would be touched with pity, as well as love of the order which is doine so much tor the cause of humanity. Barnum Lodge is No. 7 as to age in tbe state 01 Oregon and while there are many gray heads among the membership, she has never shown the "grey streak" in the care and protection prom ised to the members, hence has spread her wings until in nearly every town and hamlet in the state the three links caa be seen suspended in front of every lodge room. V The meeting was a veritable love feast, thoroughly neioyed by all present. For a little season during the hour of refreshment Methodists, Presbyterians and other people "held close commuu on" while sweet music from the good old-fashioned accoidian and a common fiddle, softened by the delicate touch on the "pianer" filled the air. Mrs. A. J. Johnson acted as toastmistress and did the business up in true Johnsonian style while Mis Eda Jacobs and A. P. John son acted as principal advisors in cases of emergency. To the ladies of the D. of R. is due the credit of arrangement, both of program and banquet and if thev had left a few ot "us" men off the program it would have been fine. The idea of ex pecting men to talk when wmen wield the gavel seems to us ridic ulous, but as usual we had to take our medicine. The banquet followed with all the delicious viands usually fur nished on such occasions. While we did not partake we saw many good brethren coming out of tbe banqnet room licking tbeu mus tache, hence we know it was good. Many visiting brethren were present and received a royal wel come. At a seasonable hour the lights went out and thus closed. a mem orable occasion in tbe hearts of Odd Fellows and Rebekahs. A Guest.

No one knows how the trouble occurred, but the team was sees rt) nn in i! down" college hill and par ties found i r. Smith lyinu in tbe road unconscious, his nose broken and a gash ot two on the face. He was taken to the B. R. Thompson home and a pnysiciaa attended his irfjuries. A branch of the work of the Portland Commercial Club which many people know nothim? about is the maintenance or an Oregon Information Bureau in Los Angeles, which has been wonderfully successful in its effort to so interest Cali fornia tourists that they may return to thiir Eastern homes by way of Oregon. Oregon literature is distribated from sev ers! of the most centrally located offices in Los Angeles, and it is eagerly taken. The colonist rates, and particularly the $30 fare from the great middle West to all stations in the "Beaver State," is em pb seized in every publication given out. Eastern lecturers are also employed to a limited extent, and Robert J. Weyh, Jr., of New York City, has just reported a most successful series, witb audiences frequently numbering ia excess of i000 adults. "Tbey take in every word about Orrson," re writes, "and then fire ques tions at me.' The eighteenth state convention of the Oregon Christian Endeavor nnion closed last 8unday evening after the most suc cessful session in the history of Endeavor in Oregon. Nearly 150 delegates were resent, principally from tbe Willamette valley. The list of speakers included the strongest men of tbe state in fact, there was not a weak speaker on the whole program. Soap and vigor characterized all the sessions and the Endeavor move ment received great ' irape.ns from the meeting. Rev. C. T. Hnrd of Corvallis was reelected president and Miss A. Viola C harleston as secretary. F. A, Tripp of Eugene was elected treasurer. Eugeae furnished entertainment for all the dele gates, andjhrough the gooperatiea f the merchants bad the bnemess streets ablaze with' C. E. monoersms and the C. E. colors. The next convention will be held in 1910, most likely in some place in eastern Oregon. ;. r Tomorrow night at the armory the Muscatine, Iowa, x.M.O. A. team which has quite a record, will play OAO. Con cerning the team and the gams at Eu gene, the "Oregon Weekly," the TJ. of O. col letre paper, said this week: "The basketball team will play its last game for the season at the armory on Friday, Feb. 28, against a team from Muscatine, lowu. This team, a Y M. C. A. aggre gation, ia a recent tour of the East, won seventy five out of eighty games It is reputed to be superior to the Chicago Creseut team which recently toured the West. It beat Swann's Nome aggrega tion. Tbe team has been together for four years. They have been coached by Appleaate, now Y. M C. A. physical director at Walla Walia. The Muscatine men wear skull caps while playing, pre sumably to make it harder for their op ponents to distinguish one from another. The local team is practicing bard in the hope of making a glori jus ending to the best season that Oregon has ever known.
