A Truly Great Man.

The World-Herald, Of Omaha,
Neb., contains a partial list of
the bequests made by the late
Frank H. Peavey, of Minneap-
oils, and among them we find the
sum of 81 900 bequeathed to N
P. Peterson, OF this city.
Before coming to Corvallis
last fall --..r. Peterson had been
in the employ of Mr.. Peavey for
nearly eighteen years. He is one
of the several hundred who have
been remembered by the great
fnancier. More than this, Mr..
Peavey provided in his will that
every employe who has been in
the service of his firm for three
years shall receive a months
pay, and the executors are in
structed to retain the old en-
p1oyes and to care for them after
they are too old to work.
Mr.. Peavey was one of the
most remarkable and command
ing figures in the Northwest,
and the most admirable charac-
ter in the world of finance, He
was born in Eastport, Maine,
January IS, 1850, and died in
Chicago, December 80, 1901.
Left fatherless at the age of 9
years, he began his business ca
reer as a newsboy. By dint of
hard work and conscientious,
righteous effort he amassed a for
tune and attained a position in
the very front rank of business
men. He was the head of the
most extensive grain elevator
system in the world, and carried
the largest life insurance policy
ever written. His life should be
an inspiration to every young
man who is carving his way
alone, and his example might be
emulated with profit by the Car
negies and Morgans of finance.
A few months before Mr.. Pea
vey was stricken with the attack
of pneumonia which resulted in
his death, Mr.. Peterson entered
into correspondence with the
great fnancier, his purpose be-
ing to get Mr.. Peavey to pur-
chase a large tract OF the Coe
lands in Lincoln county. In re-
ply Mr.. Peavey stated that he
appreciated the opportunity Of
fered for an excellent investment,
but he had let contracts tor the
building of a line of steamships
and made other investments
which would require all the cash
he could command at present.
However, he would bear Mr..
Peterson's proposition in mind.

Thursday afternoon and evening the
lodge of Elks Of Reynoldsville enter
tained the Elks of this section. There
were at least a hundred visiting Elks
present. The Harris Quartette OF
Pittsburg, accompanied by II. F. Blan-
ey, the monologue artist and jolly en-
tertainer, also OF Pittsburg, were pres
ent to assist in making the opening of
the Elk rooms most enjoyable affair.
The dance hall and lodge rooms,
which are connected with folding doors,
were turned into large bauqueting
hall and five long tables, that would
seat two hundred people, were loaded
with choice edlbles, best the market
would afford, and about eleven O'Clock
the Elks and their guests were seated
at these tables giving unmistakable eyi-
dence of their appreciation OF the
cuisine production under which the
tables fairly groaned-the menu was
elaborate. Joseph Bensinger, the genial
proprietor of the Commercial Hotel, of
Dubois, who has been member of the
Elks for twenty-one years, acted as
toastmaster, and he proved himself a
m aster in that capacity. "A feast OF
reason and flow of soul" was INDUCED
In for an hour after the elmer man"
had been satisfied. Squire M. NJ.
Davis was the toastmaster's first victim,
which was unexpected, but Squire was
equal for the occasion, and his toast was
the best given at the banquet. There
were Elks present from Punxsutawney,
Clearfeld, Dubois, Ridgway, Kane, st.
Marys, Brookville, Clarion, Kittanning,
and other places, aud in response to call
from toastmaster they complimented
the Reynoldsville Elks on the beautiful
aud convenient quarters they now oc-
cupy-the finest Elk rooms in this sec
tlon OF the state.
The Reynoldsville Elks proved to the
visitors that their hospitality is unlim.
tied.
Inc Elk rooms were planned especial
ly for the purpose now used and they
are AS HANDY as a pocket in shirt"
and consist of ladies' parlor, gentlemen's
parlor, billiard room, card room, ball
room, lodge room, kitchen, ladies' cloak
and toilet room, two ante-rooms, prop.
erty room, gentlemen's toilet room and
bath room. The rooms are elegantly
furnished. The furniture in ladies' par
lor Is upholstered in silk damask and a
Wilton velvet ring on floor. The furnl.
ture in gentlemen's parlor is upholstered
in leather and Body Brussels rug on
floor.

Rey. Ifl Hicks Almanac.

To say that this splendid work OF
science and art is finer and better than
ever, is stating IL mildly. The demand
for it is far beyond all previous years.
To say that such results, reaching
through thirty years, are not based
upon sound sense and usefulness, is an
insult TO the intelligence Of the millions.
Prof. Hicks, through this great Alma
nae, and his famous family and scientific
journal, Word AND WORKS, is doing
work for the whole people notapproach-
cd by any other man or publication. A
fair test will prove this to any reason
able person. Added TO tho most lumi
nous course in astronomy for 1908, fore
casts Of storms and weather are given,

nearly two hundred engravings. The

PICKET
IS STILL

Quiet but Stubborn Strike Of
Foundry Workers Continues
for a Year at Bridgeport.

Bridgeport Conn, Dec 2.--One hundred
men walked out OF the X. +. Parsons
foundry year ago yesterday morning
Seventy of them were iron moulders and
thirty were their helpers. They struck
over the system that was In use I'm the
foundry.
The trouble was over piece work and
after briefly stating the points objected
to the mouldCrs withdrew. and from that
day to this neither side has sought a con-
ference looking to the end OF the strike
The company has maintained from the
start that there was nothing TO arbitrate
From the morning the men left the hot
metal cooling I'm the sand moulds the
company has refused to discuss the ques-
tion with the men and the men have
grown To hold the same feeling and a In
now a question II conference could be
brought about at all.
Many changes have taken place I'm the
year but the strike is still on. The lone
picket stili stands at his post a not par
tcularly comfortable one during these
days of chill November. Immediately af-
ter the strike there was n picket placed
to guard each OF the four corners OF the
foundry. This was TO intercept foreign
and for four monthn there were few men
who managed 10 escape the wstchful
pickets in their attempts TO get Into the
foundry to work There was never any
violence used. There was no intimdating.
The plckets became acquainted with the
men who had come 10 fll the strikers
