Mrs. Roy Keeney and little
sons have returned to Corvallis
from Long Beach, where they
went for the summer, and are
spending a brief vacation at
home, under peculiar circum
stances. The continued rain at
Long Beach was so unpleasant
that Mrs. Keeney started for
AVashington to visit with rela
tives. Arri vine in Portland she
found that her trunk had been
lost by the railroad company,
and after waiting a couple of
days in Portland, where the heat
was 'intense, Mrs. Keeney de
cided to come to Corvallis and
put up fruit for a week or two,
and also make more clothes to
take to Washington, in case the
lost trunk is not located, as it
had not been, up to Saturday.

work Saturday morning. The
Bible school is being held on

was decided to enlarge the scope
of the meetings this year.

The re-count in the county
clerk election contest which was
started in the circuit court last
Monday afternoon was not con
cluded until Friday afternoon.
Every ballot cast in the June
election in Bentqn county was
carefully gone over and recount
ed by those appointed to the
task and the work was slow and
laborious. In the West Philo
math precinct the recount gave
three more votes for T. T. Vin
cent; but as there were some ir
regularities in the matter of the
first count in this precinct, and
the votes are contested, it is not
known "what will be the result of
the change. All told, the legal
ity and ownership of 94 ballots
are now to be decided upon by
Judge Harris, who has them un
der advisement. These are bal
lots that are irregular or object
ed to for one cause or another,
and there is no possible way for
even those most concerned to
form an idea of what the findings
of the court will be. It is said
probably three weeks will be re
quired for the final decision to
be handed down. The July term
of the circuit court adjourned j
Friday afternoon.
