SACRED CoNcERT.-The Congrega a
tional church was crowded at an early
hour and the prayer room was thrown
open to accommodate those arriving
last. It was soon filled and few
went away, unable to gain admission.
The programme was carried out as
published except that Mrs. w. c.
Kantner sang solo instead of the
bass solo by Prof. Berchtold. All the
numbers were we'll rendered and were
listened to with close attention by the
whole audience. The solos by Misses.
Kitchens and Spencer and Mrs. Kant
ner were each gems in their way.
Each lady has the merit of singing
very distinctly SO that those in the
farther part of the house could easily
follow the words of the songs. The
vocal duet by Messrs. Korthauer and
Bell deserves the same mention. The
violin duet by Messrs. Pearse and
Hodson and the violin solo of Mr.
Hodson were brilliantly rendered and
were only too short. The choir sing
ing was good, considering the short
time used in preparation. Mr.. Kant
ner's remarks were we'll chosen and
brief. He has the faculty which is
not as common as it is desirable, O
knowing when he has said enough
It is. proposed to give another even
ing of music at an early date.

Prof. +. L. IVashburn, of the Oregon
state agricultural college, calls attention in
the Rural Northwest to the fact that recent
careful examination proves that birds prey
more largely upon beneficial insects than
upon those which are injurious. It will be
a good deal of shock to bird loving people
to know that one of the strongest areu.
ments for protecting birds is about to loose
it's force. Prof. Washburn does not exactly
say that insectivorous birds are not bene-
eicial, but he seems to prove very clearly
his assertion that .sinsectivorous birds are
not necessarily beneficial.

VOTING APPARATUs.-A number OF
eastern firms appear to be reaping a
rich harvest in supplying some of the
western cities with the apparatus for
carving on elections under the Austria
han ballot system. Oregon City fnr-
nishes good example of the result
of patronizing outside institutions be-
fore inquiring into the facilities of the
home field. In the case cited an ex-
pert mechanic declares that the "steel'
booths are composed of the thinnest
sheet iron, and the f.steer ballot
boxes are nothing but tin, and the en-
tire outfit, which cost 1904, could have
been reproduced in Oregon City for
$500. In Benton county wiser
course has been pursued and the con-
tract has been awarded to A. F. Peter
son to supply the county with twenty
three booths, at $1.60 each, and sixty
nine annexes, at $l.32k each, making
a total of ninety-two booths for
s$128.23. The booths are five feet
high, thirty inches wide and twenty
eight feet deep, with shelf twelve
inches wide. Each of the Corvallis
precincts will require one booth and
three annexes, equal to four booths.
They are constructed of wood and can
be taken to pieces and stored in a
small compass when not In use. Ii
these booths had been procured from
Portland parties they would have been
made of wood and cost $3.65 each
and st. Louis parties would have
charged $500, whereas the ones now
being constructed cost much less and
are just as gpod4

is being increased as rapidly as places
are found for new men. Some of the

order of two hundred buggies, two
hundred and fifty carts and one hun
dred and fifty light hacks. There are
now in the pant shops fifty carts which
are nearly finished. The principal

CANNERY MEETING.-A meeting of the
stockholders of the Eugene Canning and
Packing Company was held at the board of
trade rooms Wednesday evening and the
only business transacted was to instruct the
secretary to call another meeting for March
2lst, when the intention is to instruct the
directors to sell the cannery, plant and ef-
fects to satisfy the demands of the creditors.
This is deemed the best way to settle the
matter. The effort to sell preferred stock
did not meet with success, as it was looked
upon as loan without sufficient security.
The committee succeeded in getting sub
scription to the amount of a little over three
Thousand dollars. Many still think that
the plant will be kept in the city and oper.
ated by some one. Some think new COM
pany can now be organized to buy the plant
and operate the cannery. With proper
management it seems as though a cannery
should be made to pay well here. II it
should not pay big dividends to the
stockholders it would be the means of scat
tering a vast amount of money among pro-
ducers and laborers.-Eugene Register.
Here is chance for the Corvallis Cannery
Company to buy plant cheap.

the address public until he has duly laid it
before the board. This body will then be
called on to consider what changes, if any,
it will make in its programme. The posi-

the fair would not only be more successful,
but would be of much greater benefit to

proflts of Sleeping Cars.

An operating official who knows con-
siderable about sleeping cars, their cost
and profit remarked: Sleeping cars pay
big monev and when one knows the
cost of operating them it is no wonder.
A new car costs, good, strong and mod
ern, anyway from $4,000 to $4,000, al
though you hear of them worth twice
that sum. However, those costly cars
don't get outside the shops. Well, the
railroad companies pay three cents a
mile for the privilege of hauling them,
and the car will average 800 miles in
twenty-four hours the year round, or
nine dollars day earnings. Say it only
earns $4,000 a year, low estimate, it
will pay for itself in three years.
Now a ten section car has twenty
berths, selling local at two dollars a
berth, making the earning capacity per
night forty dollars, not counting the day
earnings. OF course sleepers don't carry
full loads every night, but if they did
not average ten passengers day we
would not haul them on our road. Now,
we pay for ice, water and fuel, and in
sure the cars-that is, we repair them
when wrecked or injured. The sleeping
car company pays a porter twenty-five
dollars month at the most, a conductor
ninety dollars and has to furnish linen
and soap. It is not difficult to see how
the sleeping car companies pay divi-
dends.-Indianapolis Journal.

The winter of 1912 will long be re-

ton of those "cycles of death" For
several seasons there is no epidemic; the
air is salubrious and the general condi-
lions of life easy. Hence there is, as it

A newspaper man who recently inter-
viewed Herr Most at the penitentiary on
Blackwell's island, New York, says: "On
all subjects except those which bring in
his political and social theories he is
wonderfully gentle in his speech and
manner. This, while sufficiently star
Ting at first to those who know him only
by reputation, is not an uncommon trait
in men who believe in physical force for
the adjustment of what they consider
social wrong. remember having had a
long conversation with O'Donovan Rosa
on one occasion when | did not know
the man. He was SO gentle, SO kindly
in his views Of the men mentioned, SO
charitable in the motives he attributed to
them that his sudden change in manner
and speech, when England was spoken
of, startled me. Then found out who
he was.''

THREE NOTABLE DEATHS.
They Excited Extra Comment Because
They Occurred Close Together.

They Excited Extra Comment Because
They Occurred Close Together.
The deaths of Cardinal Manning,
Cardinal Sineoni and the Duke of Clar-
ence, Oldest son of the Prince of Wal.s,
within few hours of one another have
excited the superstitious. 1t does seem
to be fact that there is cycle of deaths,
as it were-that is, after long interval
several eminent men die about the same
time. Every American knows OF course
that John Adams and Thomas jefferson
died on July 4, 1895, just fifty years
after they signed the Declaration of In
dependence, but it is not so generally
known that James Monroe, fifth presi-
dent, also died on the 18th of July, in
1881. Ex-Vice President Hamlin died
July 4, 1891.
AS only twenty presidents have died,
and there are 365 days in the year, it is
evident that the chances are eighteen to
one against the death even of one on a
given day, and On the principles of per-
mutation several hundred to one against
two dying on the same day. It is not at
all surprising, therefore, that the deaths
Of Adams and Jefferson led their con-
