l'oeeii'S OF the Grand Chapter, OF the
order of the Eastern Star which con.
venes the 18th.
o6l votes were cast in the four AL.
hany precincts, 1t good showing, ir.di.
eating quite an increase over previous
acknowledgements. The four pre-
cincts Of Corvallis cast just 100 less
votes than Albany, which would in
dicate that Corvallis IS not far behind
her neighbor in the matter of popu
ation.
| j. r N. Bell, editor of the indie
pendence West Side, filled DR..
Thompson's pulpit last Sunday morn
ing and evening. His remarks on
Temptations were full of thought
and useful knowledge. Bell is popular
both as minister and as an editor.
We are always glad to have shake
of his hand.
John III. Starr, a Benton county boy,
was given place on the tickets of the
peoples party in Marion county. 1t
is needless to say that he will not oc-
cnpy the position of county clerk for
the next two years. John must wait
until his whlskers have little longer
growth before he aspires to such pin
acle of fame.
William Telly, gardener living
Just across the river from Albany, fell
off of the new bridge across the Will
lamette on tho night of Saturday, June
4th, and was killed. He had been
drinking and started home about mid
night intoxicated. The body was
found lying on the opposite bank.
He was about so years of age, and
had no family and but little means.
The immense floods and loss of
property in the Mississippi valley and
the southwest, had quite an influence
over the markets in the eastern por-
ton of the country, and grain ad-
vanced in price. However the nor
NAL condition resumed as soon as it
was known that real extent of DAM
age would result to growing crops. On
this coast no change in the market
was preceptable.
Mr.. Ctarance Avery, who has been
attending the Law school of the Uni
versity of Oregon for the past two
years, is home on visit He will go
to Eugene the 22d to attend com.
mencment, when he will receive his
diploma. Out of IL class of 80 before
the Supreme court, he has the honor of
being one Of the five who passed a
perfect examination. He expects to
go to Portland to practice his profes-
sion. With him go our wishes for
success.
Last Wednesday evening the Mar
inc band favored Jesse Wiley and
wife with some of their best music by
way of a seranade. By mems only
known to Jess their arrival was antici-
pated and their hearts made glad with
just those refreshments which the BOYS
like. Returning they stopped at the |
Presbyterian social and dlscoursed |
more sweet strains. Here they were
served with strawberries and cream. |
The boys think it would he we'll to |
give seranade every night in the week
if they could receive such greetings.
Mr.. and Mrs. R. M. Davisson en- |
tertained few of their friends at their |
home on Saturday evening. Music
and dancing were the order of the
evening until elegant refreshments
were served. A very pleasant time
Was passed until the clock gave the
warning of Sunday morning. Among
those present were Mr.. and Mrs. 7.
0. Wilson, MIR. and Mrs. R III. Hus-
ton, Mr.. and Mrs. Thos. Callahan,
Miss White of Ukiah, Cal, Miss
Louis, Miss Waggoner, Miss johnson
of Walla Walla, Misses Jacobs, Messrs.
B. Lester, w. H. Gilbert of Philom-
ath, Robt. Johnson, L. A. Helm,
B. w. Johnson and Chas. Clark.
One day this week Mr.. J. G.. Hut
ton sold to B. w. Wilson two. gallons
of strawberries raised on his place
just north of the o. P. depot. There
is nothing strange about selling two
gallons of berries, but it is not often
that just 100 berries will make that
amount. This is an average of Is
berries to the quart. The berries were ,
Of the sharpless variety and were
picked from patch but one hundred
feet square. If any county can beat {
his showing let them come on. Per
'onally we can testify to their excel {
ence. Remember an average of Is +,
% the quart and not single quart of |
selected berries.
