UNIQUE LAUNCHING PARTY
Given Monday Night Corvailis
"Young People the- Participants.
A launching party was given
Monday evening in honor of
Miss Maybelle Keady and the
affair will not soon be forgotten
by those who participated in it.
The guests were the young peo
ple of the Baptist choir, and the
destination was to have been
about ten miles down the river.
When five or six miles had
been traversed, how,ever, one of
the engines went on a strike and
the launch was turned back up
stream. The other engine work
ed all right until the launch was
a mile or two from town, in the
vicinity of the pest house, when
it also went "fluey" and the craft
began to drift.
The banks are steep along the
river at this point, the night was
dark and the logs were thick all
about in the surging waters as
the launch tossed about. Not an
oar was to be had and no one
could make the engines do their
work. It is reliably stated that
Hartsock was seen to 'get on his
knees and repeaf'NowI lay me"
with a scared expression on his
handsome face, and that smell
ing salts and palm leaf fans were
in general use among the faint
and fainting female contingent
of the party.
Finally, a sloping bank was
discovered and the men-folks, by
using a pail for a paddle, steered
the wobbly boat near enough to
shore to jump out and grab a
tree and thus drag the drowriing
party ashore. Not a shoe sole
was dampened in the escapade,
but heart failure and . cold feet
were everywhere in evidence and
no one cares to hear about the
trip, just now.
JL hose an. the party, were, ;. iha
Mis?es Mabel and Edith Keady,
Juanita Davis, Mary and Roxana
Cate and Mrs. A. M. Jessen;
Messrs. S. K. Hartsock, Harold
Davis, Grover Cate and Bush
Wilson.
Now it is shoe polish that is
going to wipe out a large portion
01 tne population unless people
are careful. The health authori
ties of an eastern city have re
cently discovered new danger to
life and have placed a ban on
two brands of shoe blacking,
The sudden death of a young
man who had been apparently
in good health, was the cause of
the investigation which resulted
in the discovery. It was found
that he had stained his canvas
shoes with a certain kind of shoe
polish, and after analysis of the
preparation, which he had used
it was determined that the nitro-

Corvailis Women Neglect a Duty.
Shall Strangers Knock,
or Boost?
Much money is expended an
nually for advertising Corvailis
and Benton county and the prog
ress and growth of the city is
heralded abroad to attract home-
seekers to our midst, all of which
is right, proper and commend
able. Our men are doing their
part to advance the interests of
our community and state and as
a result hundreds of new people
are coming to settle among us.
But there is something left for
the women of the community to
do, a duty to perform that will
mean much to these homeseek
ers and much to the city in nu
merous ways. It is the duty of
hunting up these new families
and extending to them a wel
come that will make them feel
at home. A formal call of ten
minutes from one, two or three
of our town ladies is about what
the average newcomer receives,
according to the complaint made
by many ; then they are left to
get acquainted as best they can.
Many a new family groys
homesick and discontented and
knocks Oregon simply because
of this neglect by our people. A
leading minister of our city says
"it is one of the burning needs
of the church, this cordiality and
hearty welcome-giving spirit to
newcomers."
-We realize that it is an a"ge of
commercialism and business rush
in which there is little time, ap
parently, for visiting in the good
old-fashioned way and taking a
real heart interest in our neigh
bors; but even placing it upon a
sordid business basis, it will
"pay" and pay well, and our wo
men should risje to their duty in
Welcome one and all, see that
they are invited to our churches,
lodges and social gatherings and
made to feel they are wanted,
and soon there will be such a
'story sent out from these happy
homes relative to the cordiality
and hospitality of our people
that Corvailis and Benton coun
ty jvill be regarded as the most
desirable place in all Oregon for
a home. Women of Corvailis, it
is up to you. This is no "pipe
dream" but the sober truth, as
seen by
One of You.
Horrible Catastrophe!
A remarkable incident occur
red at Silverton a few days ago,
which is thus described by the
Appeal of that place :
"Arthur Simmons, from some
cause, became strangled while in
swimming and immediately he
sank. Those present saw that
death was the unfortunate man's
doom. The horrors of it (a man,
an animal,, or even the smallest
insect abhors death) froze " the
blood in the veins, and although
the victim called pitifully, all
were transfixed with the ghost of
death "which grinned in their
faces as it clinched its victim in
front of all eyes fixed, riveted on
him. He arose, then death
dragged him down the second
time, and still the sympathetic
crowd, suffocated with the death!
sight, paralyzed in every limb,
stood blamelessly stolid. Yet.
as overpowering as is this fear
of death, nearly all who witness
such a sight as was seen last
Sunday, forget it, and thus year
ly, as sure as the bathing season
arrives, Neptune has an increas
ing number of victims for his
subterranean lairs."
After describing in alljts hor
rible details the final death strug
le of the victim, the Appeal re
-iieves the feelings of its reader
by the pleasing intelligence thai
some one plunged into tin
"death-dealing waters" and res
cued the "drowned man," who.
it is hoped, will "live long to tell
of - his miraculous escape as a
warning to others."
State Revenue From the National
Forests Increased.
In addition to the benefits se
cured by fire protection and by
regulations which control, the
use of timberland and range so
as to insure permanent supplies
for local wants, the states having
National Forests now receive,
under the new Agricultural Ap
propriation Bill, 25 per cent of
the gross proceeds derived from
the sale of" National' Forest re
sources. This amount, accord
ing to law, goes to offset any
losses to the states through with
drawal of forest areas from taxa
tion, and is devoted to public
roads and schools.
Several years ago complaints
were made that the withdrawal
of tirnberlands for forest pur
poses reduced the taxable areas
of the states in which withdraw
als were made. The Forest Ser
vice, quick" to see the justice of
these complaints, recommended
at first that 10 per cent, and later
that 25 per cent, of the gross
proceeds from the National For
ests should be paid to the states.
As a result, the states are assured
of school and road funds, doubt
less more certainly than they
otherwise could have been, since
the permanence of the Forest
resources is now secured by con
servative management. Had the
Forests never been established,
their resources would, undoubt
edly have been exhausted by.
hasty and improvident methods
of exploitation, leaving the land
wasted and unproductive.

room a crew is signing on. Behind
the counter is the smart voung offi-
l a ,u.i
agreement is legally drawn up, and
beside him is the skipper, eiderly,
with a severe, weather beaten face
and gray, wavy hair. He lifts his
bushy eyebrows when looking
through the glasses perched on hia
nose. On "the other side of tha
counter is the proposed fo'castle
crowd thirty Chinese, gathered
from the opium dens of Limehou'se
this morning, with a few whites
among them to give assured sub
stance to a cheap thing. The cap
tain is quiet, but sometimes whis
pers 'a half apologetic aside to the
young official, who smiles cynically
(for he knows the .British ship own
er better than most) and gathers in
the crowd before him with his eye.
He squares the documents on the
counter, calls for the "first hand"
among the Chinese and reads the
agreement to a yellow sphinx. The
Chinese makes no sign. "Now for
chow," says the official and details
the provision allowance. 5ut it ap
pears the Chinese does understand.
He will not agree to fresh bread
only twice a week. "Evlee day,"
he says. The captain has to submit.
If he did not these Chinese would
leave the office in a body, and there
is no time to find more men.
"Sailormen now," says the off!-'
cial. He is going to take the men
in detail. "What your name?"
"Hongkong."
"No your name what you call

"Yers?"
"You plenty savee steer?"

That is" the ship.' The Chinese indi
cates the uib as the stem, the end
of the handle as the stern and

"Where you come from, eh ?"
The man looks around anxiously on
his countrymen for light. Some one

smile.

A Rain Proverb.
Kaln before seven.
Fine before eleven.
I have always heard this proverb'
with the two additional lines:
If It rains at eleven
Twill last till seven.
And I have witnessed the truth of
the last two lines very many times,
notably on three separate occasions,
on which, being up the river for a
would have been a godsend to me, it
has rained persistently during the
whole afternoon, the rain beginning
between 10 and 11 o'clock and eras
ing within a very few minutes of 7.
Thus I have had the proverb indeli
bly stamped on my mind. London
