The Marguerite Fischer theatrical
company began two nights engage
ment at the Opera house Monday ev-
enipg In ga Country Girl,' with Miss
Fischer In the title role. The attend
ance WAS very good and the perform
ance epj ,yable. Since her last visit
to Corvallis, Miss Fischer has devel op-
ed much, and iu the "Country Grip
rendered her part most acceptably.
That she has talent, none question,
and were opportunities for study of

Monday was the last day for a.
voiding the penalty for payment OF
taxes. Those who paid yesterday or
are to pay hereafter will have to pay
both interest and 10 per cent. penal
ty. A considerable number have 50
far failed to make payment. The
of receipts this year is much
larger than heretofore. - When the
sheriff's office closed Monday evening,
the books showed that about 1920
receipts had been issued this year.
The number on the same date last
year was 2,l97. Formerly the number
Of tax receipts issued was only about
| 800. The increase is partly due to
Increase of population, and partly to
the dual receipts issued to those
who pay half their taxes at a time.
The amount OF money taken in by, the
sheriff in the collection of delayed
payments Is about 5000.
Warm rains of the past few days |
nave given much satisfaction to Ben
;on stockmen and. farmers. Pastures
ire almost bare now of grass. With !
out rains there was prospect that the
conditions of last winter
With barren pastures and dying stock
would again prevail. The condition
lelped to make hay high and livestock
ow. Mich COWS have been offered at
igures far below what they have been
n years. A well-known stockman Is
Iaid to have offered four cows, all un.
Ter four years old at $40 per head.
Another offered to buy for dealer all
le needed at $40 to SIS. With new
,rass crop that seems now assured
hese prices will not long prevail.
Hence, the rains have been welcomed
With many glad smile by all kinds OF
'eople.
This is short tale OF how two
football players had a
