Temporary Injunction Granted

The sale of the coe lands for
taxes, advertised to be made by
the sheriff yesterday, did not oe-
cur. The possibility of a post
ponement was set forth in the
G AzETTE last week.
Suit to enjoin the sheriff from
making this sale was brought
last week, and the papers in the
case were sent to Judge Hamil-
ton at Roseburg. An order re-
straining the sheriff from selling
or attempting to sell any portion
of the property advertised until
further order of the court, was
issued by Judge Hamilton, and
therefore there vas no sale.
The matter will probably come
up for hearing at the Novem.

Franchises of Other Cities

The propositions for supplying
Corvallis with water, now pend
ing, are being given careful
thought and investigation by
those having the matter under
consideration. Correspondence
has been entered into with the
authorities Of the principal cities
OF the state, with view to as
certaining the conditions of sup
ply and prices paid for water by
these cities, that Corvallis may
profit by their experience. Nj
merous replies have already been.

Recorder Judah, of Salem,
says that the substance of the
franchise granted by that city Isl.
"that the Salem Water Co. holds
its privileges for a period of fifty
years from April, 1891. The
franchise does not make any res
ervations in favor of the city
save the free supply of1Water to
the city hall and to such public
fountains as may be erected from

''It is no such franchise as the
enlightened sense of this commu-
nifty would grant in this day."

the following information:
"The Albany water system is

the Albany Canal & Water Co.

For use of water for fire purposes,
we pay nothing when taken

The following comment is from the
Portland Oregonian of Feb. %, 1899:
"The chief interest of the Philharmonic
recital last night at Auditorium Hall CEN
tered in the debut of Miss Susie Fennell,
who, though only school girl in years,
displayed unmistakable talent as a vio-
liniste, showing delicacy of tone, skill of
technique and much temperamental fire.
In the opening number one could only
guess at her talent; but in the we'll
known Wieniawski polonaise, the audi
ence was no longer left in doubt. This
was given with much poweraand grace
for one so young and quite carried the
audience by storm. She was applauded
most vigorously, and was obliged to re-
turn for flowers, the audience refusing to
keep quiet till she gave an encore. This
was so prettily given that it brought aa-
other recall, to which, however, the
young lady did not respond s~
Miss c. L. Higgins, of Portland. who
is assisting Mrs. Pipes in her concerts, is
native of Scotland, and received her
musical education in the, old country
mostly in Brussels, Berlin and Paris,
where, for more than ten years, she had
the best instruction obtainable under
such men as Mehul, Schett and La Porte.

"a Gracious Reception for the Weak

grandest promises of the whole BIZ

when the soul is overwhelmed by a
vision of its failures; when temptation
is doing Its dreadful work; when one
sees before him the black gulf of de-
SPAR how sweet the words of Him
who spake as never man spake: Him
that cometh unto me | will in no wise
cast out"
The ways of God are unlike the
ways of man. as some of you have
found out. Recall some of your expe-
riences. You have been out of work,
and have tramped the streets day
after day in vain. You have been into
one place after another and have been
turned away with an aching heart.
Some of you have gone to a friend
when the black waves of financial
ruin were beginning to dash around
you. He might have helped you but
he would not. You were turned down
with a humble bow. Some of you
have been to one place after another
to borrow money when you needed it
more than you needed anything else
except God. You did not get it, Some
of you have been TO the doctor, only
to hear him say. My good man, there
is not !essed thing that | can do
for you.2 But no soul ever went to
the Lord Jesus Christ in vain. The
Master never turned an earnest. hon

YOU are too bad to be saved. Men
sometimes think that a soul is beyond

the worst, the most sinful. the most
desperate is not beyond the lore Of
God. There is an old tradition that
the first man converted on the day of
Pentecost was the Roman soldier who
thrust the spear into the heart Of Je-
