FIRE RTMENT
Elects "a Chief and Other Officers
For the Ensuing Year.

About two hundred firemen,
members of the three fire organ
izatiOns of the town, met in
Falk's hall Monday to elect of
ficers to serve during the ensu-
ing year. 1t was no doubt the
largest meeting Of firemen ever
held in Lafayette. The good
natured rivalry arising from
election of a chief had stirred
the boys as never before and as
consequence the enrolment of
each of the three companies had
been largely increased. Mum
ber One marshalled it's forces
in an effort to land District
Attorney Campbell in the Office
of chief and Home Company
stood Loyalty by Mr.. F. V. Mou-
ton. Single handed Home Com
pany would have been unable to
elect it's man, but it made what
reformed politicians call an "un-
Ladder Company. Number One
fought with answering fealty to
it's favorite, but at the outset it
was clearly evident that it could
not hope to win against the com
bined strength of the two other
companies. A count of the bal
lots showed that 1O5 votes
had been cast for Mr.. Mouton
and S5 for Mr.. Campbell. In
announcing the result, Mr..
Campbell, who was temporary
chairman, referred to the friendly
nature of the rivalry which an
mated the fremen in the con-
test and expressed much salts
faction at the active interest
shown in the result of the cleo
tiOn. In brief and weilwOrded
speech Mr.. MoutOn thanked the
department for the honor con-
ferred upon him. The meeting
furnished ample evidence that
the fire department of Lafayette
is a vigorous, public-spirited or
ganizatiOn, composed of men de-
termined to do their duty in any
emergency.
The officers elected are: Pres
ident, A. E. Mouton: vice-presi-
dent, Louis LacOste: secretary.
B. J. Pellerin: chief, F. V. Mou
ton: assistant chief, Arthur Le-
Blanc.

MOVES ONE ARM SLIGHTLY
But the Hope is for Complete Recovery
The Bridge Accident.

The victims of the late bridge ac-
cident in Linn county are all i'm
proving, and local interest in the
affair has largely subsided. His
physician has found a broken bone
in Mr. Andrews cripp1edleg, which
is explanation of the unusual sore
ness that attended the member.
It is the fbu1a, or smaller bone of
the two between knee and ankle,
and the fracture is six or eight inch
es below the knee. On account of
the breaking of the bone, weeks
will pass before Mr Andrews can
again be at his post of duty.
Mrs Riley, who was the chief
victim of the accident, is slightly
improved, and her physician hopes
that her injuries may not be per-
manent. On this point, however,
it is as yet to early too speak with
assurance. One arm remains para
lyzed, and there is only slight
power of movement in the other.
This, with the shock of the accid-
ent, from which she is not yet re-
covered, keeps Mrs Riley confined
to her room.
Mrs Andrews, who safe the boy,
suffered least of all in the collapsed
the bridge, though still suffering
from the soreness of many bruises,
is able to be about the house, and
ia fast passing out of the evil ef-
fects of the accident.
AS the days pass on, wonder
grows that the bridge, horses, car
riage and occupants could have
fallen sixteen feet together in a
heap without consequences more
disastrous. A simple fall On the
sidewalk or partly down a stair
way sometimes Eresults in instant
death, but in this instance, four
people in a covered carriage went
down with bridge and team, in a
terrible crash, and yet all the people
live to tell the tale of how it hap
pened. The more and more the
matter is canvassed, the more there
is recurrence to the original con-
clusion that the mixture of mud
and water below the bridge, to-
gether with a bit Of very good luck,
alone, saved some or ali Of the
party from instant death.

MRS WAGGONER'S CLAIM.

Secretary of State Dunbar has
declined to pay the claim of Mrs
Waggoner to the reward of Mer-
1ill's body. His action is unques-
tionab1y justifab1e. The offer con-
|, temp1ated effort on the part OF the
claimant to capture the outlaw. II
was offered on the basis that there
would be peril to the pursuer, and
it was made to induce men to as
:, sume the hazard and undertake the
outlaws capture. Save for this,
no reward would have been offer
ed.
Mrs Waggoner's return Of the
body involved none of this. She
assumed no hazard. She did not
pursue Merrill. She hunted black
berries and found a body. 1t turn
ed out to be the body of the out
law. This is the sole basis Of her
claim, and in the light of fairness
it amounts to nothing. 1t is not
half so good a basis as have the
scores and hundreds of men who
took their lives in their hands, and
hunted convicts.
But Mrs Waggoner is a woman,
and poor woman at that. Be
cause of it, public sentiment will
go with her. Oregon, as state.
cannot afford to split hairs. AS a
state, Oregon cannot afford to be
niggardly in such cases. Other
convicts may escape, and it is de-
sirab1e that Oregon's reputation
then as a paynaster be beyond
question. The state legislature
should pay Mrs Waggoner a part
or all of this reward. Unlike Sec
retary Dunbar, the legislature has
the right to veer from the plain
law, and facts in the case, and will
probably do SO to the extent of pay
ing the woman a just reward.

THE GRASSHOPPERS
Strip Hopyard of Leaves, eat Dog
Fennel and get Eaten by Turkeys.

Strip dopyaId Oh LEAVES, edt Oos
Fennel and get Eaten by Turkeys.
Grasshoppers are reported il
great numbers in the vicinity o
John Whitaker s farm. They have
attacked the hopvines there ane
have stripped them practically bar'
of leaves. In few instances they
have attacked the hops, but so fa
they have handled the latter very
charity. It is supposed that the
bitter taste is not to their liking
nd On this account, after disposine
of the leaves they have sought othel
food.
Among other things, dog fenne
has come to be a part of their die
in that locality. After first strip
ping it Of leaves they have attacked
the stalks and bitten them off. A
bystander who heard the story tolc
remarked that if hoppers continued
at work on the dog fennel thei1
operations would not prove an TN
mixed evil.
A diet that they are fond of is
willow leaves. Along the river
bottom in that locality they have
eaten all the foliage from the tai
lest willow trees. Persons who have
seen the multitude of hoppers in
that locality, say they never saw
the like before in Oregon, but they
ARE not alarmed at the prospect. The
hoppers are understood not to
be of dangerous kind.
Turkeys out there are living on
the fat of the land. They love te
eat hoppers and as they see the
multitudes about them their lives
are a long day dream of bliss. They
leave the perch at the first peep O.
day and hurry to the fields where
they chase hoppers with skill and
assiduity. All day long they play
their trade, and when they return
at night it is with stuffed maws
and concious air of duty done
The hoppers diet is said to be aspire.
c1ouS to them as Watermell1On is tC
a small boy. They leave every.
thing else to eat hoppers and an
experienced turkey raiser says q
hopper fed turkey is the best in the
world.
Down at the Big Prune orchard
a band os 20 turkeys has the hop
per-craze SO badly that they never
appear at the farm house in day
time. They spend the time in the
orchard and eat hoppers with avid
ity and in such numbers that Man,
ager johnson is harassed with a
fear that long before Thanksgiving
time his crazy birds may all be sick
unto death with Turkey gout,
chronic indigestion Or St Vitus
dance.

AGRICULTURAL HALL
To be Publicly Dedicated-Great Func'
tion Promised-Let From White
House About Ii.

There is to be a public dedica-
ton of the new Agricultural Hail
at the Agricultural College, and
the function is expected to take on
large proportions. 1t is to happen
in October, probably the 18th, and
as planned it is expected that the
gathering of distinguished people
from abroad will be the largest ev-
er in Corvallis. Members of the
Legislature, judges, state officers,
distinguished farmers from all sec
tons and many others are expect
ed to come on special trains for the
days doings. President Roosevelt
was invited to be present, but let
ter has been received from his priv
ate secretary, saying that the chief
executive of the nation cannot be
present. 1t was expected of him
70 make the chief address of the
day. but since he cannot attend, it
is the plan now to secure some
other Eastern man of distinction for
the purpose.
In his letter to the president.
Hon J K Weatherford, president Of
the board of regents says:
"The Agricultural College of
Oregon is completing the largest
college building in the state of
Oregon, to be used for the purpose
of teaching agriculture in its var
ious branches We desire to pro-
perly dedicate the building in Oct
ober next, and we expect to have
present at that time large gath
ering of farmers, tie state officers,
members of the state Legislature,
patrons Of the school and five or
six hundred students. All parts of
the state will be represented. We
hope to make this remarkable
epoch in the history of the school
and state. AS president of the
board of regents and at their re-
quest I have the pleasure and hon
or of asking you to favor us with
your presence and address the null
titudes assembled. Any day in Oct
ober next which will suit your con-
venience, will be satisfactory to us.
Your presence, my dear sir. will be
highly appreciated by the people
of Oregon, especially by the board
of regents and faculty of the col
lege and will greatly increase the
interest in the exercises and the oc-
casion will be souvenir purple to
the pupils and alumni past and
future to wear in their hearts for
ever. I sincerely trust that you
will be able to be with us On that
occasion.
The reply is as follows:
White House, Washington,
Aug IA, 1902.
My dear Sir:
Your favor of the 9th inst, has
been received, and the President
greatly appreciates the cordial in I
vitation you have been good
enough to extend to him.
While it would afford the Presi-
dent pleasure to send an acceptance
he regrets that it will be impossible
for him to visit the Pacific Coast
states this year.
Thanking you in the Presidents
behalf for your thoughtfrllness,
and courtesy, believe me
Very Truly Yours,

ANOTHER ADVANCE
In the Local Price of Lumber-Eugene
Boys Walked six Hundred Miles.

Another advance in the price oi
lumber in the local market is an
nounced. Fencing has gone ur
from So to $3.50 flooring, number
3 from $12 to SI6; number 2 from
SI6 to $40 number I from $22 to
SIS. Even at these prices the local
yards are unable to increase their
stocks for the winter trade. The
advance took effect several days
ago.
Ralph Fenton and Ralph Dolph of
Eugen, who have been on tramp
ing trip since July 9th passed tn
rough Corvallis Wednesday en-
route south. Their summer vaca-
ton, they spent in hoofing it about
the state, covering about 600 miles
between start and finish. Their
route was from Eugene to Sius1aw,
thence up the beach to Newport
and Astoria, thence up the Colum-
bia to Portland, and to the top of
Mt Hood, thence via Oregon City
south through the valley to the
starting point. On the trip they
carried their food and blankets, and
had many interesting experiences.
AS seen in Corvallis, when near the
end of their long journey, their ap-
pearance was not greatly unlike
that of ordinary tramps.
A dispatch to the Portland Te1e-
gram from Independence says:
Taylor Miller, an employe of the
Evans threshing crew, and resi-
dent of Kings Valley, was the vic
tim of most painful accident this
week. While working with the
machine near Buena Vista, his foot
was run over by the separator ma
shing it perfectly fiat. The foot is
terribly mangled. A local physi-
clan was called to dress the wound,
and thinks the foot may be saved
from amputatioD." A year or two
ago Mr. Miller lost three fingers
from els hand in a threshing ma
chine accident.
