Things We're Interesting.

The meeting of the council
Monday developed considerable
interest before adjournment was
taken. After the regular order
of business had been considered,
Mayor Crawford announced that
the council was ready to consider
miscellaneous matters. Mr.. J.
T. Phillips here called the atten-
ton of the council to the fact
that the law relating to the clos
ing of saloons was being violated.
Mr.. Phillips spoke warmly on
the subject from the standpoint
of parent and citizen and was
given close attention. When he
had concluded Officer Wells
created sensation by reading a
list of names of persons whom he
claimed had passed a portion of
last Sunday in a certain saloon
in this city. He closed his re-
marks by asking the council if it
was the desire OF that body that
the Sunday closing law be en-
forced. Councilman Heckart
offered a motion to the effect that
it was, and the council gave
unanimous assent.
A wise action on the part of
the council was the repeal of the
bill posting ordinance. A mer.
chant may now distribute dodgers
and other literature advertising
his business without paying tri-
butte for the privilege, and the
city is relieved of the constant
menace of a law suit.
The police judge was ordered
to cancel the judgment for $40,
standing against the water COM
pany.
The city attorney informed the
council that in his judgment the
case of The City of Corvallis VS.
Lee Dan could not be appealed.
J. B. Irvine was elected special
policeman to serve at the Opera
House for a term of six months
without compensation from the
city.
Judge Woodward conferred
with the council regarding the
repairing and operating of the
gravel ferry, and an agreement
was reached whereby the city
and county will each bear one
half of such expense. .-
Petitions for placing electric
lights On corner of Harrison and
18th, and corner of Harrison and
10th streets, were referred to fire
and water committee.
A petition asking that a side.
walk be built along the north
side of Harrison street from 10th
to the city limits was referred to
the street committee.
Bills were allowed amounting
to 1916 on the general, and 81. S.

FOR A W0OLEN MILL.

The Citizens League is Considering a
Proposition Looking to the Establish
nenf Of Such an Enterprise Here.
The Benton County Citizens
League is now a thing of life
and prepared to do business. At
meeting Tuesday evening per-
manent organization was effected
and the following officers were
elected: M. S. Woodcock, pres
ident; B. w. Johnson, 1st vice
president; w. H. Currin, 2nd
vice president; c. E. Woodson,
secretary; E. Allen, treasurer.
These officers compose the exec
utive committee.
The pressing need of this or
ganization and the value it may
be to the community, was evil
denced when E. E. Wilson in-
formed the members of the
League that he had received a
communication from a gentle.
man in Brownsville to the effect
that a party, having means to
invest, was desirous of establish.
ing a one-set woolen mill at
some point in Oregon. He
wished to know what induce.
ments Corvallis had to offer for
such an enterprise. Mr.. Wilson
was instructed to enter into cor
respondence with these parties
and report results to the League,
which will leave no stone un-
turned to secure the mill.
The executive committee has
received letter from the land
agent of the Southern Pacific
Railroad company, stating that if
the Citizens League will furnish
data concerning the description,
resources and other matters of
interest pertaining to Benton
county, the above.named com.
pany will publish the same in
pamphlet form to advertise this
section at the Buffalo Exposition.
The matter will be given inlme-
diate attention.
The committee on member
ship had a most. encouraging re-
port to make. Over sixty signers
to the constitution have been
secured, the following being

Three Questions.

Before purchasing piano or organ
there are few questions it is well to
consider. First: Is the instrument made
to use or simply to sell? Second: To
the the tone, action and finish first class7
Third: Is the price reasonable? Cheap
instruments are expensive at any price.
Why2 Because they never give :satis-
faction, being constructed of the cheap
est material hastily thrown together.
To secure the value OF your money there
is enc certain way. Buy an instrument
which has not only an established repu-
tation for years. but which has kept up
with every Improvement of medern
times. IF you then would like such an
instrument with tone, action and fla
ish unsurpassed, have them, and cart
furnish yon any at the lowest price.

First Id Delivery.

The GAZETTE is in possession
of the markings of the judges or
composition and deliyery in the
recent er-callegiate eratoriea1
contest held in this city, and
perusal of them is interesting.
The judges on composition were
required to grade their papers on
their Originality, Rhetorical Ex-
eellence, Subject Matter, and
Style of Treatment. Delivery
was also divided into four heads:
Gesticulatien, Articulation, In.
terpretation, and Oratorical
Effect. Each set of judges
graded upon the basis of 100.
Of the three leading contestants,
Tartar stood first in delivery by
tive peints, and Minehin second,
two points ahead of Wallace,
who was third. Tartar excelled
in oratorical effect, with Wal
lace second and Minchin third.
Tartar was first in gesticulatien
and MiIchin second; while Min.
chin stood first in articulation
and equalled Tartar in interpre-
tation. Wallace was third in
each of these points.
Judge Colvig awarded IA C's
representative frst honors in de-
livery, ard Mr.. Mays and Rev.
Gilbert gave him second place.
Gilbert placed Wallace first and
Minchin third; Mays first choice
was Minchin, while he con.
sidered Wallace entitled to fifth
position.
fall the markings, those of
Professor Paddleford, of the uni
versity of Idaho, stand out naked
and alone. So great in his esti-
nation, was the difference in the
literary merit of the various
papers, that his voice outweighed
the verdict of the other Judges
combined in deciding the con.
test. On the basis OF 100 points,
he gave Minchin go; Wallace,
II; and Tartar, 46. Prof.
Meaney, of the university of
Washington, gave Nfinchla a.;
Wallace, 60; and Taftor. o2.
President Penrose. of Whitman
college, Walla Walla, like Prof.
Meaney, found little difference
in the composition of the three
leaders. He rated Minchin first
with 90 points, Wallace seesnd
with SO, and thought Tartar en-
titled to SO.
There are some literary produc-
tiens which Professor Padelferd
has never read or he would act
have given Minchin over twice
as much. credit for originality
as he gave Tartar. Professor
Meaney thought that o A c was
second to MeMinnville In orisi-
nality and placed sainchin two
points lower. President Pea
rose on this point, gradad Min.
chin and Wallace alike and rated
Tartar below them.
On the papers as a whe1e,
Minchin stood the highest Of all
the contestants, Wallace took
second pace, and Stillmacher, of
Albany, third. Prot, Meaney
placed Stellmacher first; Presi-
dent Penrose gave him second
place, while Prof. Padelfera
marked aim seventh.

A Friend of Honest Criticism.

Portland, Or, March 10, 1901.
ED. GAZETTE,
DEAR S1R;-The high gram.
matical authority on the Albany
paper says that your recent criti-
cism of "A Debt of Honor was an
"'illy' conceived potpourri of bad
English" 1t might not be out Of
place to call his attention to the
fact that such other authorities as
Webster, and the Standard and
Century dictionaries unite in dis
crediting the use Of "illy" for the
adverb GILL;" which is the correct
form of The word.
Sincerely yours,
A PORTLAND FRIEND OF Honest
GRINCIsM.

TILLMAN VS.. McLAURIN.

Last week the news was flashed
over the wires that Senator Tillman
aid Senator McLaurin of South Caro-
lima, who had been at outs for some
time, met near Columbus, S. c., and
had a melee of words invecting epi-
thets for one another. So intense
grew their wra tn that both agreed to
resign the United States senatorship
and go before the democrats of the
state for vindication in a dual con-
test for reelection. 1t will cause one
of the greatest political contests be-
tween men representing the same
party that we have seen for many
years. Senator Tillman, or better
known as Pitchfork Ben, represents
the low element and populistic idea
of the democratic party. Tillman
stands for everything low, degrading,
humiliating and mean. He is negro
hater, while Senator McLaurin rep
resents the better class of southern
democracy, the self-rcspecting, con-
servative element of his party, and
does not stoop to those things so low
and vile rs does his competitor While
of course this contest is the white
mans BURDEN let them fight it out
for the colored vote and republican
party is a thing of The past there.

character loved by all who knew her.
She leaves an aged mother, four SIS
ters, four daughters and many other
relatives with her many Christian
friends and ohetr dear friends to
mourn herdemiise. The funeral SER
vices were held at the A. M. E. church

There were many floral offerings and
long procession followed the re-
mains to the last resting place in
Woodland cemetery We extend our
coincidence and sympathy to the
bereaved family for we, with the rest
of Des Moines will feel the loss OF
such an earnest Christian worker.
