Little Grace Singleton who was, early
: in the week, reported improving sank
rapidly during Tuesday and died at
IL m. that night. The light from
another home has gone out and kind
and loving parent, sister and a brother,
will especially miss this cheerful little
household pet.
When about to vote Monlay, do not
forget that promises made by Il candidate
to use county unds in building roads
and bridges are not always to be taken
at thei face value. 1t requires county
court to pass upon matter of this kind,
and no one member can speak for the
whole court in advance.
DIR. James Withycombe, State Veteri-
marian whose home is in HillsboEo, was
in Corvallis Tuesday. He came at the
instance of our local veterinary surgeon
| to examine case of supposed glanders
| in horse. The case turned out to be
one of little moment and the doctor left
the next morning by boat without seeing
| the animal.

| just returned from Alaska. Mr.. Moore
looks well and reports doing well while
| there. He says: ''Skagway and Dyea
are dead now but times will revive in
| the fall War excitement is credited
! with the stop.,age of travel for the north,
though there is large number OF pros
pe,:tors going i'll via Yukon route.
Mr.. G,lstave Wilson, Russian vice con-
sui of the Masons, OF Portland. gave usa
pleasant call while here attending the
ceremonies of laying the corner stone OF
the masonic temple. Mr.. Wilson is one
AAtes"'oAAS
in the state. He was in Corvallis at the
time the local lodge was oganized, away
back in 'oS and he tells some in erestiDg
stories of life in Oregon in those early
days.
Hon. ] B Irvine, filled the appoint
ment of w l. Tooze in Kings Valley
Wednesday evening. A most enthus-
iastic meeting was held, and Mr. Irvine
being in his element kept his audience
in good humor and interested through
out. The republicans OF this little valley
are really alive as wds fully indicated at
the close OF the meetlny when three en-
tbusiastic cheers were given for McKin-
", Irvine and the whole republican
ticket.
A few individuals, apparently devoid
of any respect for the duties of citizen
Sship, continue to+;1ibasa The cycle 1,atth
sHow to prevent this utterly senseless
8practice is a question that wheeimen,
business men and citizens in general
have been discussing for days past. The
prevailing opinion appears to be that
the county court can Iegisate against
this abuse just as they do against fast
driving over bridges and similar abuses
of the public highway.
Jim Cooper, the popular Independence
banker and politician, came up to wit
ness the corner stone ceremony and get
few political pointers for the use OF
Polk county republicans. AS a side is
sic ie acted during the day as escort for
Judge Moore and in the evening he en-
tertained eompany of friends in the
hotel Occidental with stories, 'fishy and
otherwise of his experiences with legis
lators, legislatures and state administra-
tions at Salem, and as matter of course
rendered the Judge some inside" advice
as to how to conduct the treasurer's
sffice
Judge Chas S. Moore, tie republ IN
nominee for'state treasurer, was in our
city Wednesday and Thursday. Judge
Moore received a warm reception here
and found that his merits and candidacy
had preceded him. He will find Ben
tonites and Lincolnites have pronounced
opinion on the treasurership and that a
good majority of KS will stand opposite
his name next Monday. He is the prop
er man to have charge OF the states f.
nances for the next four years and it is
only to be regretted that he has not time
to meet all our citizens 1t would mean
many more votes. His very appearance
carries confidence and conviction to those
who have the pleasure meeting him.
| Monday afternoon the wires along the
| G. q E. carried message to Mr.. Ed
Stanton, postmaster of Toledo, notifying
him of the death of his wife's- mother,
/ Mrs. Gillette. At seven o'clock that
evening in company with bis wife, her
sister and his brother Fred they started
in double-seated hack and at 8 O'Clock
on Tuesday they reached here, a distance
OF sixty-feur miles. Under the circum-
stances this is a record breaking drive
The latter part of the night was very
dark but only one little delay occurred
and that was at Summit, where the
