GERMANY IN SOUTH AmERIcA.

GERMANY IN SOUTH AMERICA.
One of the ranlzest pieces of rot and
nonsense is that idiotic twaddle about
possible war with Germany, which Sc
renely hobs up again in the newspapers
every once in while. Such a war is
about as likely as an invasion of the
moon Those that talk about it so glibly
haven't any idea what it would mean.
Next to Great Britain, Germany is our
heaviest customer in the markets of tho
world. Our trade with Germany is i'm
merse. A war between the two countries
would ruin that trade and cause more
loss and disaster than al the victor could
hope for under the most favorable con-
dition. Such war would. in any case,
mean g tremendous loss for both coun-
tries; therefore they will both do their
best to keep out Of it.
1t is, of course. true that Germany is
ambitious and would like to establish
colonies i'll South America In fact, moth.
ing would please Germany better than
to go in for a general dividing up OF
South America. England would be glad
to join. and if they could get Us to ac-
cede they would be quite willing to let
us have the lions share; say the entire
western part, the plateau of the Andes
with their wonderful climate and
enormous mineral wealth, but, Of course,
the United States would never think of
considering such proposition.
There are large and dourishing Ger
man settlements in various parts Of
South America. Germany today controls
a large part of the South American
trade, and the way she FORCES ahead it
looks as if she meant to secure all of it.
but that does not necessarily indicate
J that she will try to conquer any part Of
| that country In fact, if she can secure
the bulk of the South American trade by
! peaceful means, it will suit her purpose
a great dead better than to conquer tie
| country by force of arms. Hence there
is no danger Of any war with Germany
| over the Monroe doctrine.

Famous Pianists of Today and Yester

Page & Co., Boston,
Ih1s volume is more than a mere re-
cltal OF names and musical works. II
does not give a complete record of the
best players, but only of those who have
made reputation as travelling virtuosi.
The author takes up the development Of
the pianoforte and the early performers,
and then discusses the various pianists
in chronological order or as nearly SO
as possible. Those who were also com.
posers are considered only as perform
ers, their musical productions having
been considered in another volume of
this same Music Lovers Series. After
the older and most famous performers,
chapter is devoted to pianists of to-
day, and the closing chapter is devoted
to women as pianists. The analyses Of
the performances of The various pianjsts.
showing their individual characteristics
and wherein were their excellencies, will
be read with particular profit. by modern
piano students, for whom this volume
should serve as a valuable aid to study.

When we realize the great need
cf the out-pouring of Gods Spirit
upon His Saints, a nd see the awful
conditions which surround US, in
souls perishing before our eyes, we
wonder what can be done to cause
an advancement upon the enemy,
and snatch a few brands from the
burning. Now we of the Salvation
Army ask the cooperation of the
christian people in a Red Crusade
Campaign for souls. The ministers
are going to help us in this effort,
and we are expecting a different
preacher almost every night. The
hall will be decorated and we are
earnestly praying Gods blessing
upon these meetings. They will
commence Saturday evening, May
10Th and end with the first Sunday

A Corrected Error.

1t is not every day that over
sights of Importance are so easily
remedied as that which occurred in
deed given years ago by A. M.
Witham and wife to Chatham
Roberts. On the 3;d day of October,
1856, Mr.. Witham and wife gave a
deed to Mr.. Roberts for 42.82 acres
of land lying west of Corvallis about
two miles This land eventually
became the property of L. Y. Flint,
and few weeks ago an error in the
deed was discovered while an ab-
stract was being made of the pro-
perty which might have caused the
property to revert to the original
owner. Mr.. Witham's attention
was called to the matter and he
agreed to give quit claim deed to
the land, and the act was consum-
mated Wednesday. This could
easily have become very compli-
Gated affair. and it should act as a
warning to others, especially to
those to whom property is decided,
to see that there are no errors. OF
course there is no blame attached
to anybody, for an error or an acci.
dent may occur at any time, even
where the utmost caution has been
observed.

Lynn Hnnter Dead.

A telegram to his father in
this city yesterday morning an
nounces the death of Lynn Hun
ter in Los Angeles,' that morn
ing at s o'clock. Several years
ago, Lynn was stricken with
consumption, the result of work
in underground mines. Although
he was given every assistance
possible and was sent to Texas
and other localities where the
climate was thought most con-
genial, the progress of the dis
ease could not be arrested.
Lynn was born on the old home
place near Soap Creek, October
8, 1877, and was the youngest
member in the family. He was
universally admired and esteem
ed, and numbered not one enemy
in his host of acquaintance.
The body will be shipped to
Corvallis and interment will oc-
cur in the Locke cemetery where
his mother and other relatives lie
buried.

Benton Connty's Vote.

The work of registering voters
ended in the various counties
throughout the state last Tuesday
evening at 5 o'clock, and sigh Of
relief has gone up from numerous
county clerks. In Benton county
1850 voters were registered, and
this means considerable work, but
our officials in this department can
smile contentedly when they think
of the task faced by those who had
this registering to do in other coun-
ties In Linn county for instance,
5000 names had to be recorded by
the clerk of that county; Yamhill
had 3,412; Clatsop, 2,549; Lane,
5,251; Douglas, $500; Washing
ton, 3, 1888, and Wasco 1855. Clerks
are like postoffices. There is only
one clerk in each county, no matter
what its size, and there is only one
postoffice to the city. The work of
registration in Benton, therefore,
while quite task, has been light
compared with that of nearly every
other county in the state.
A fact shown by the registration
is that Benton county has increased
materially in population during the
last two years. In Corvallis espec-
tally is this true. Estimating five
persons to every voter, there are
about 500 more people in this
county than the roll of 1898 shows.

City Council.

The common council met in regu.

acted the following busir ess:
Bills allowed on general fund
salaries Of city officers, $2S7; on
street fund, $18.
The petition of the City Trans
fer Co., asking that the city appro-
pirate 500 per month toward de-
fraying expenses of operating street
sprinkler, was referred to the fire
and water committee.
In the matter of the petition of J.
A. McFadden asking that the council
reduce the auctioneer's license
from $50 per quarter to $40, no ac-
ton was taken.
The police judge was instructed
to sign the contract between the
city of Corvallis and the O. A. c.
board Of regents, whereby the col
lege is granted the privilege of con-
Meeting its sewer with the Jefferson
street sewer Of this city.
In an informal manner the prop
osition of the city and county COM
bining on the purchase of plot of
gravel bar came up and was duly
discussed. The bar in question is
the property OF Sol King and is just
across the Willamette from the city.
The object in view was to have
gravel conveniently located for city
and county to own and control the
same. The matter was referred to
the fire and water committee for in
vestigation.
