Presented by Go. K.

The Ladies Emergency Corps has re-
ceived very unique and beautiful pres
ent from some members of Co. K, Ore
gon volunteers, now at Manila. 1t con-
sists of two Spanish flags sewed end to
end, making piece of bunting three by
six feet. In scroll at the end of this
double flag where it is attached to the
staff, are the words Presented to the
Ladies Emergency Corps of Corvallis" "
Near the center, elegantly drawn in India
ink, is the coat of arms of Oregon, and
imediately over it the photographs of pri-
Yates Ready, Thornton and Elwood
Clark, and just below it the familiar faces
OF Geo. Reed and John Berry; lower
down is the picture of Boyd Kennedy.
Upon the coat of arms is inscribed: "We
remembered the Maine" The roster of
the company appears in India ink, as do
number OF elegant sketches. These
sketches and the coat of arms are the work
of Corporal Romeo Gilbert, OF Salem.
They show Mr.. Gilbert to be an artist of
extraordinary ability.
The following letter, dated Manila,
December 9, 1898, accompanied the flag.
1t describes the sketches and gives the
names of those who SO handsomely re-
membered the many kindnesses of the
ladies of the orps: ''The flag is pre-
sented to you by Messrs. Ready, CLARK,
Reed, Thornton, Berry and Kennedy.
The sketches are as follows: No. l, be-
ginning at the upper right hand corner,

Weddings Galore.

County Judge Woodward has piloted
two more happy couples from the peace
full harbor OF courtship out on to the sea
of matrimony. At the court house last
Saturday afternoon he united in marriage
Mr.. John Bottgar and Miss Sarah
Plunkett, both of Kings Valley. Mr..
Bottgar is prominent young farmer of
that section, who also owns interests in
Columbia river seining grounds, while
the bride is the second daughter of
Mr.. James Plunkett and a popular young
lady.
In the sacred precincts of the Judges
Office in the court house Tuesday after
noon, Mr.. Woodward was again called
upon to tie the nuptial knot. Mr.. John
H. Stewart and Miss Alma L. Hodges,
both of Wells, were the parties to the
contract which the Judge sealed in the
latest approved style.
Mr., Frank Bennett, of Philomath, and
Miss Retta M. Lemasters, secured a
license Tuesday, and the wedding oc-
cured at the home of the brides parents,
in the Rickard settlement, Wednesday.

therefore legislation should he liberal
toward good roads, as they are more
generally useful than any other form OF
public improvement.
''Two kinds of road Improvement
should be carried on by each county
temporary improvement and permanent
improvement. The former should be
done chiefly with material to be found
on or near the road TO be improved, ex-
cept in special places where this material
would be inadequate. The latter should
be done on a well-prepared substructure
or roadbed, with some desirable material.
In the counties and states where good
roads have been built, rock OF good
quality, properly bl oxen, has been found
to be the best; next, gravel is the best,
and, in places where rock is wanting and
timber is abundant, thick planks may be
used to advantage.
'sWhen good roads are secured, they
should be taken care of and properly
used. Narrow-tired vehicles, carrying
heavy loads, are great destroyers of roads,
and should be within reasonable time
prohibited by law. Broad-tired vehicles
act as rollers on roads, and serve to
render them more compact. When the
of those employing vehicles on
the roads is called to the detriment of
narrow tires and the advantage of wide
tires, little trouble is looked tor from
this source"

HANDY MURDERED.
Blood Found in the Snow
Near Where He Was Last
Seen Alive. -

telephone message to Mr.. J. Fl. Will
son last Tuesday, summoning him to
Sugar Loaf, together with rumor that
that the body OF A. K. Handy, who has
been missing tsince December 80, had
been found with bullet hole in the head i,
has revived interest in this mysterious
case. Messrs. ]. H. and ]. o. Wilson
left Tuesday for Falls City in response to
this message, which came from George
Handy, nephew of the missing man. La
ter reports failed to substantiate the one
stating that the body had been found
The following telegram, bearing date of
Dallas, Or, January 18th, throws light
on the subject and startling developments
are anticipated:
THE sheriff today went to Rock Greek
with warrants for the arrest of some
parties who are suspected of having mur-
dered A. K. Handy, the Corvrllis hunter
who has been missing since December
80. Blood has been found in the snow
near where Handy was last seen alive,
and tracks leading to the Siletz river have
also been discovered. The body has not
been found, and the belief is that Handy
was killed and the body was thrown into
lhe river by the murderers.
.tIt is not known who are named in
the warrants of arrest, but it is authenti-
cally stated that the sheriff has obtained
a great deal of evidence against the sus-
pected parties.'

A Retraction.

The attention of readers of the UNION
is called to an article which appeared in
our columns last week under the caption
"He Jests at Sears" wherein it was
stated that a certain young bachelor
merchant had become enamored of a
pretty little lady representative of a
baking powder house. Mr.. Con Gerhard
requests us to announce that he wss not
the party alluded to; that he never wrote
any such letter as quoted in the article,
and furthermore he had no rivals in the
young lady's affections.
