Our Musicians.

No city in Oregon has given to the
world of music, letters and drama more
or better artists than Corvallis. In fact,
this city is noted for the number of
celebrities it has produced. We are all
interested in their success and what they
are doing and this item concerning our
musicians may not be amiss. Dave
Rosebrooks is already recognized as one
of the worlds greatest cornetists, and is
leader and soloist with the best orchestra
in San Francisco In G. G Conn's
book of testimonials he is credited with
q compass of four octaves on the cornet
ranging as high as sc" above high
&C." This is phenomenal. Miss Ollie
Thompson is pianist with professional
orchestra at Coronado Beach, California,
and has no equal in this line on the
coast Willis McElroy, formerly of this
city, but later of Salem, is on concert
tour, as cornet soloist, through the South
and East. Harry Samuels is cornetist
in the Marquam Grand and is considered
the best artist in Portland. Chas. Hod-
son, until recently performer on the bass
viol' with the Marquan orchestra, leaves
shortly for San Francisco to accept a
similar position with one of the leading
organizations of that city. FL. M.
Stoudenmyer is director of the Chemawa
Indian band, with the title Of professor
of music.

Tongue OF Puerto Rico.

The Oregoniax of Wednesday publish
es the following dispatch from Wash
ington in correction of an article in that
paper of the 18th inst: "The Washing
ton dispatch published in the Oregonlan
of the 10Th does not properly represent
my attitude on the Puerto Rlcan bill.
I voted in the caucas and in the House
to reduce the tariff from 25 to 15 per cent,
and to limit the operation of the bill to
two years. I was one of the most siren
uous advocates of the latter amendment.
But it is asserted by the opponents of
the bill that this small tariff upon the
necessary food products in Puerto Rico
WILDE oppressive to the poor people OF that
island I have said that if this is true,
it might be we'll for the senate to consid-
er proposition to admit such articles
duty free, and increase the tariff to 25 per
cent on sugar and tobacco, as the entire
crop of these articles, it is said, has been
bought by the trusts and spectators.
This provision would relieve the people
and place the tariff upon those most able
to bear it, the trusts and speculators.
''The only reason that justifes the
House bill or that secured the votes
necessary to pass it, including my own,
is the necessity of raising revenue to
maintain government in Puerto Rico,
temporarily, until the people can re-
cover from their present distressed con-
dition. With normal conditions restored
and other revenue measures enacted,
commercial intercourse between Puerto
Rico and the United States should and
will be as free as between Oregon and
California. :"

Recorder Gellatiy Not Iii.

Recorder Gellatly is not afflicted with
smallpox. nor has he been, and persist
ent publishing that he has this disease,
after knowledge of its falsity, can have
no other object than the making OF
political capital. Should Mr.. Gellatly
seek nomination for an office at the
hands of republicans, and secure it, he
will not be found incapacitated, physical
ly or otherwise, to carry on a successful
canvass and show handsome majority
at the polls.
VIM. Gellatly, brother of the recorder,
was in the city Tuesday. He laughed at
the idea of Johnny having the smallpox
and said he had left him working in the
garden. During his term of Office, Mr..
Gellatly has never forgotten that he is a
farmer, and what time he has to spare
away from the duties of his Office has
been given to care OF his farm.
The unfortunate illness OF his baby
girl should invoke sympathy AMI the
many friends of the family throughout
the county hope fer her speedy recovery

WITHOUT A PARTY.
The Popu1ists will Be Free Lances in the
Coming Campaign.

| The Popu1ists Will Be Free Lances in the
Coming Campaign.
/. There was a joint meeting OF the
county central committees of the demo
Gratis and populists at the court house
last Saturday and as result the popu-
lists have been absorbed without effort
and without friction. The innocent,
guileless lamb of populism lies peacefully
within the capacious stomach of the
democratic lion, and the lion grins com.
! placently with surcease of appetite.
Now the campaign will be one of prin-
| ciple, or of one principle democratic
princlple-and there will be no 'tfree-for-
all scramble for the offices" the contest
will be limited entirely to the democrats.
At least this is the bargain that was
made at the court house last Saturday,
for as the demo-populist.. organ states.
| s'For any given office the candidate
chosen will necessarily be the man who
can secure the largest mum ber of votes, y
and ''the voting strength of the demo
Gratis IN the county largely outnumbers
the populists" This is gentle nudge
TO the "blatant partizan"-populist, OF
course-that he twill have to offer some
thing more than his partisanship as a
reason for his selection to place on the
ticket
But the rank and file of the populist
party have bitten at this game before,
and while they have faith in the good
intentions of the men who represented
them Saturday, they will question their
judgment when under the seductive in
fuence OF the charmers on the. demo-
cratic committee.
Every populist knows that if his
political principles are not identical
with those of the democrats, they are as
widely opposed as those of the republi-
cans and populists. II they are identical
there is no reason for the existence of
their party aside from what advantage
may accrue to those who pose as their
leaders, and they had better forfeit their
charter. If they are not identical the
assistance they render the democratic
party every election saps their own
strength and they receive nothing in
return. Left thus without candidates of
his own the freeminded populist voter
is going to support those whom he con-
siders the most worthy out of the candi
dates offered by all parties. Of course
some will blindly do the bidding of the
leaders, and it is for this vote that the
democrats are angling.
The ABSORPTION was effected through a
conference committee composed Of Robt
Johnson, John MCGEE and M L Frantz,
on the part of the democrats, and of
Chester Skeels, G A Robinson and J w
Jones on behalf of the populists.
The primaries will be held April 9TH,
and the county convention, April 10th, at
IL O'Clock a. m.

A special meeting OF the local chapter
of the Eastern Star will be held in this
city tomorrow evening at which time
the lodge will be visited by grand officers
of the order including the grand matron
and grand patron.
Mrs. J. E. Andrews came down from
Eugene Saturday, to join her husband,
who is now employed as clerk at Kline's.
The st. Patricks Day party given by
the Young America Engine Company at
the Opera House last Saturday night, was
highly successful both in social and
financial way. The hall was prettily
decorated, and the music by the college
orchestra was exceptionally good
About rs couples tripped the light fan
tastic, while goodly number OF specta-
tors helped to swell the gross receipts.
The net proceeds amounted tossS45, which
sum goes to the Coffee Club library.
G. A. Houck, the well-known rancher
and goat breeder, who is interested in the
forming of pool of the mohair grown
in Benton and Lane counties, stated to a
Eugene Guard reporter that the project
is receiving favorable consideration
among goat men. Mr.. Houck expects to
have all the mol,air placed in the pool at
the two shipping places designated,
Eugene and Corvallis, SO that he can
guarantee to purchasers the delivery OF
the product as well as assure the growers
that their money will be forthcoming.
The sale will be made April Z.
The Shaw Company finished weeks
engagement at McMinnville, Saturday
and were passengers to Corvallis on
Mondays westside. where they trans
ferred for Albany. Mr.. Shaw's failing
health has compelled cancellation of
dates at Corvallis, Roseburg, and many
other of Oregon's principal cities. The
entire company is composed of ladies
and gentlemen and many of these are
players of exceptional ability. 1t is to
be regretted that they were compelled to
cancel their engagement in this city.

BICYCLIsTs MEET.
Road Supervisor Selected and Impor-
tant Business Transacted.

Road Supervisor Selected and Impor-
tant Business Transacted.
That there has been hesitancy on the
part of wheelme in paying their bicycle
tax is not to be wondered at. The fund
which accumulates from this tax is for
the express purpose of building paths for
the use of wheelmen, aloug the roads of
the county. Last year about 5000 was
expended for this purpose, and today
there is not mile Of path that can be
ridden over on bicycle. Wheelmen
are outspoken in this matter and num-
Der have said that unless some perma-
nent good shall result from the expendi-
ture OF the annual tax they will test the
law before again paying for path which
can be used only about two months in
the year.
The county court has suggested that if
the wheelmen would name man for
roadmaster the court would endorse the
selection. At the meeting of the Ben
ton County Road Club last Friday night,
Robt Johnson was elected to this posi-
! ton. He will be entirely satisfactory to
all owners of wheels and confidence is
felt in his ability to spend the bicycle
fund judiciously and to some purpose.
Another matter recommended by the
club, which seems to contain much wis
dom, is the idea of having the county
court allow each person when paying for
his tag designate where his $1.25 shall be
expended Thus, when there are num-
Der OF wheels in any one neighborhood,
the persons paying the tax may get the
directEbeneft therefron.
AT this meeting there was an annual
election of officers which resulted as fol-
lows: President, E. R. Lake; vice presi-
dent, T.. W. Dilly; secretary, S. N. Will
kins; treasurer, W. II. Currin; road
master, Robt johnson.
At no season of the year can SO much
good be accomplished in path making
as at present, and resolution was
adopted by the club asking the court to
begin operations Immediately. The
sooner the tax is paid the more rapidly
can work be pushed, andw heelmen
recognizing this fact will pay their tax
Immediately and reap the benefit of the
path early in the season.
