The next meeting is set for
April Ith, which comes on Sat
urday. Wo learn that the business
which T. Edgar is intending to
open up in the building lio has
recently purchased is that of a
saloon. It is also rumored that
mi option on tho Me Mown place
lias been taken by n Portland
man. We arc nt present unable
in iriv.. a iLdinito statement in
r - - ,
regard to tho deal.
T. D. Ilollowell has been put
ting in some good licks on the
hillside property recently pur
chased by him on tho school
house hill. Ho has the same
cleared of stumps and when
through will hnvo it plowed,
cultivated and fenced with a
good house ami barn thereon.
The carrying out of his plans
will bring forth a very attractive
property.
Success was written on every

the matter came up for a final
hearing Corvallis failed even to
have a delegate at the meeting,
while such places as Amity, Mc
Coy, McMinnville had delegates
and Independence had several.
If Corvallis can't help itself it
should not be asking for the co
operation of the other towns.
Strong opposition, it is Baid,
arises in Portland against referring
the Lewis and Clark exposition ap
propriation to a vote of the people
under the initiative and referen
dum law. This opposition to an
expression of the people is in bad
faith. We believe the appropria
tion would carry the state by a
large yote, but whether it does or
not the people should be heard in
the matter. We believe in the
majority rule, and that's the true
letter of the initiative and referen
dum law.

A machete, tho weapon car
ried by the Cuban soldiers in
their insurrection, has been re
ceived from the East by the
writer. It is a heavy knife some
three feet long with a horn ban
die and straight leathern scab

ranges in scope from the open
ing of cocoanuts to the slaying
of enemies and which is as good
for one thing as the other. This
particular one was procured in

the writer after the battles of
1898 and is much prized as a
relic.
