What Mr.. KanpisCh Said.

Manager Kaupisch, of the
Corvallis Creamery, said to the
GAZETTE man yesterday, the
conversation having turned to
the subject of the new enterprises
recently established in this vicin-
ity and the kind ST encourage
ment the people were giving
them: "There is no accounting
for what people will do. They
get into an old rnt and it is diff
cult to get them ou. Of it. For
instance, they now have the op-
porttlrKty 70 glt fresh battef
every day at the Corvallis Cream
cry. Every roll is full weight,
.32 ounces, and guaranteed abso-
lutely pure. The price is IS cts.
per roll. Yet you will find peo-
pie who still keep on buying
store butter that is invariably
light in weight, of unknown age,
and with no one to stand sponsor
for its purity. If they were get
ting it cheaper than they can get
butter at the creamery, that
might be an inducement. But
thew can't. They pay IS cents
per roll for it, and as a rule il
doesn't weight over "a pounds
to the roll. Our creamery is neal
Main street, and very convenient
for shoppers, being only one
block east of the Occidental
hotel. The highest market price
is always paid for cream and but
ter fat"

Ont of Litigation.

The Hotel Corvallis property which
has been in litigation for the past 10 or
L years is now out of the hands OF the
courts. In pursuance OF an order OF the
circuit court issued last March the prop
erty was sold at sherif's sale last Satur-
day afternoon. The property was sold
in three parcels, and was bid in by E. t.
Taggart, of Portland, acting for Francis
I. Dunbar. The first parcel, half lot,
brought $4,000; the second, full lot,
$5, 500: and the building $4,000 While
the property is in the name of Francis
I. Dunbar, Mr.. Swanson is believed to
be tie equitable owner.
Mr.. Swanson was present during the
sale. Business called him to Portland,
but he will return Friday at which time
it is believed that he will let contracts
for extensive repairs on the building. 1t
needs new roof The lower floors need
raising and bracing, and the south side
OF the hotel should be covered with gal.
vanized iron or be otherwise protected.
Mr.. Swanson will. in all probability,
fit the building up fer hotel and have
it in operation as soon as possible.

The Festival.

This will be a week never to
be forgotten by the music lovers
of Corvallis and the Willamette
Valley in general. The first
concert will be given in the Ar
mory tonight. 1t will be an or
chestral concert by the members
of the Portland Symphony Or
chestra. Tomorrow evening
Mendelssohn's "Hymn of Praise"
and Rossini's "Stabat Mater"
will be produced by the orchestra
and a chorus of about 200 voices,
and on the following evening
Handel's "Messiah" will be
given by the same people. Be-
yond doubt, this will be the
greatest thing of the kind ever
given in the Pacific Northwest
and no one can afford to let such
an opportunity to hear such
world-renowned works escape
them.
Everything that would in any
way assist in making this an ar
tistic SUCCESS has been looked at
ter. The advance sale OF seats
has exceeded all expectations, sc
that the financial end of the uu'
dertaking is on a safe basis and
the artistic side of the matter /:
equally assured. There is nc
better building in the state fo1
the production of these musica
masterpieces and the placing o
100 electric lights above the OF
chestra and chorus and the tine
stage decorations will make tn
whole scene resplendent- music
beauty and light. Here's to tn

Geo. III. Waggoner.

Geo. H. Waggoner has given
such excellent satisfaction as
county surveyor for the past two
years, that the recent republican
convention rewarded him with a
second nomination. If splendid
service and uuexcelled fitness
count for anything, the nolnlna-
ton should be paramount to an
election. The difficult task OF
finding and locating the disputed
boundary line between Benton
and Lane counties was completed
with such accuracy and dispatch
by Mr.. Waggoner that not one
word of complaint or dissatistac-
ton has been heard. All other
business of this nature done by
him for the county has met with
the same approval.
! Mr.. Waggoner has been a lesl
dent of this county for the past
! 25 years. With his family Ee
now resides about two mile:
south of Dusty. He was borr
in Linn county in 1866. While
the greater part Of his life ha:
been spent on the farm, his edu-
cation has not been neglected
He is a college graduate with (

Local Field Meet.

A local he1dmeet at the college
Saturday afternoon attracted
quite a number of students and
townspeople. Considering the
condition of the track and the
rawuess of the weather, the rec
.ords made were favorable.
A new feature at these games
was introduced by the young
ladies of the college. They
served ice cream and cake at the
armory entrance during the prog
ress of the games on track and
field. The idea proved quite
popular.

I. I. Vincent.


"Thc Abe Lincoln of Ben
ton," is what his friends call 7.
T. Vincent, republican candidate
for recorder of Benton county.
There is much in Mr.. Vincent's
appearance and manner to Justl-
fly this sobriquet. Tall and an
eular, with a swinging gait;
kind and gentle in his manner;
possessed of benign countenance
and a genial smile, Mr.. Vincent
attracts attention a1d makes
warm and abiding friends.
Mr.. Vincent was born in Al
len county, Ohio, March III
1883. His parents moved to
Minnesota in the fall of the same
year. He completed a thorough
public school course: and attend
ed the state university of Mime
sofa at Minneapolis for several
terms. Having his own way to
make in life, he began teaching
whea IS years OF age, and taught
four terms in Minnesota, coming
to Oregon in 1875. He contin-
ued teaching in Marion, Polk
and Washington counties until
1884, when he was elected coun-
ty school superintendent OF
schools in Washington county.
He was reelected in 1886, prac-
tically without opposition.
Mr.. Vincent then engaged IN
the lumber business in Yamhlll
county for two years, and IN
1900 was one of the original OF
ganizers of the "Capital Lumber
ing Co." of Winlock, WASH,
with a capital stock of $4,000.
He was president of the company
and general manager of the busi-
ness. The firm employed, in
1891, between so and 90 men.
Mr.. Vincent retired from the
above firm in 1892, and in 1898
bought the old 'Brit Wood'
place in Kings Valley, this coun:
ty. For the last few years he
has been living on his farm, and
has been teaching in Kings Val
ley and schools adjacent to his
home.
He is highly respected by his
neighbors and acquaintances for
his sterling integrity, his up
right and consistent life, and for
his genial and agreeable manners:
He has the confidence of all
his friends, who number some OF
the most prominent men in the
state.
Writing under date of Nov. 4,
1900, from Eugene, the late PIo-
fessor E. B. McElroy said: 1T
affords me pleasure to say that !
have been personally acquainted
with Mr.. 7. z. Vincent, Of
Kings Valley, Sthis state, for
nlany years, andsT certify IS his
personal worth, his educational
qualifications, and his ability as
a teacher"
7. N. Hart, ex-superintendent
of schools in Polk county, writ
ing from Dallas, Nov. 2, 1900,
said of Mr.. Vincent: "Prot. l..
T. Vincent is one of the most
successful public school teachers
in this county. During my
term as school superintendent OF
Polk county I had the opportu-
nity to gain a personal knewl-
edge of his work, and l can say
it ranked along with the best. y
D. M. c. Gault wrote, under
date of October 26, 1900, from
Hillsboro: 81 have known L.
7. Vincent for nearly, or quite
20 years, and have known him
as an honest, conscientious, ca
pable man, and can see no reasoo
why he should not be successful
wherever enployed.'
No further proof than this is
needed of Mr.. Vincent's stand
ing throughout the state. He Is
even more highly regarded here
at home. He is thorough, capa'
BILE; an excellent penman, ano
will make as good a recorder as
Benton county ever had.
