Of general interest in this community

Portland's great annual institution, the
Rose Festival, which was inaugurated
last Jane under such auspi ieus circum

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

princely sum ia cash with a number of
costly souvenir cops and other trophies

Enterprise ,s Doing Wonders Al
i ready lor Town and County.
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. All
tickets bought are good for the
changed date, or if anyone can
not use their tickets they can get
their money returned.
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 surveyors are this week to

Ingram, Emil Howard and J.

50th ANNIVERSARY I. 0. 0. F.
Joint Meeting of the the Subor
dinate Lodge and D. of R.
Fifty years ago Barnum Lodge
No. 7, I. 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 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

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

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.
