MANY THERE.
Big Audience Heard the Musical Re-
cital-Players and Their Parts.

The musical department at the
college never appeared at SO good
an advantage as in recital at the
chapel Saturday evening. The
programme was so varied as to be
entirely without monotony, and all
the numbers had a finish and spirit
that made the programme most at.
tractive. There were three violin
numbers, four piano solos. an or
chestral piece, and selection by
the Ladies Chorus. The chapel was
packed with auditors who demand
ed encores at the outset of the pro-
gramme, but meeting with no re-
sponse had to be content with the
numbers as scheduled,
The opening number was Joys
and Sorrows.''a composition by
Ruthyn Turney, rendered with
spirit and precision by the new col
1ege orchestra of IL pieces. The
work of both composer and players
was complete, and the number so
highly appreciated that the au-
dience called loudly, but in vain
for another selection.
Other numbers in succession
were piano solo by Miss Sproat,
a violin solo by Miss Verna Kerker.
piano solo by Miss Hawks, violin
solo, Max Miller, ''B1ue Bells of
Scotland by the Ladies chorus.
piano solo, Miss Lillian Ranney,
violin solo, Harry Kerker, and a
piano solo by Miss Love.
Ofa1l the numbers. each was
warmly received by the audience.
Miss Kerker rendered Haydn's
Sonata Number 2, with all its diff
fcult passages, with precision and
finish. The feat is somewhat re-
markable, when considered in con-
nection with the fact that eighteen
months ago, Miss Kerker scarcely
knew the positions on the violin.
Though but 2 years ofage, Max
Miller rendered the Sixth Air Varie
by Dancla with finish that elicit
ed warmest applause, The se1ec.
ton by the Ladies Chorus was par
ticularly pleasing, being the only
vocal number on theS programme
and receiving a rendition that prom
ises much of the delightful from the
same organization in the future.
The piano numbers by Miss Sproat,
Miss Hawks. Miss Ranney, and
Miss Love showed a finish and in
that was the best yet
heard from pupils of the musical
department, which, with the ex-
cel1ent violin number by Mr.. Ker-
ker. made programme that reflects
much credit on the department
and the college.

TO HAVE ELECTION.
To Vote Special School tax-Want Four
and Half Mills Levy. .

Taxpayers of the Corvallis school
district are up against the problem
of voting special tax for school
purposes. An election for that
purpose is to be held on Monday,
December 28th, or week from
next Monday: The voting will be
at the county treasurer's Office at
the court house.
The board of directors want the
people to vote special taxes aggre-
eating four and a half mills. Last
year the levy asked for was seven
and half mills The lower levy
this year is partly due to the high
er valuation of property in the dis
trict. The aggregate of the valua-
ton is S1,o7I,3So. Last year it
was $61o,ooo
What the directors want the
money for, is this: One and one
half mills for outstanding indeb-
tedness on the new building; one
mill for sewer, toilets and furniture
one mill for insurance and interest
on bonds. one mill to pay the sal
aries of teachers; total four and one
half mills.
The amount of money that the
proposed four and one-half mills
will raise for this year is $4,82I-
The amount that the seven and a
half mills raised last year was
$4.575, .

ing the selection of supervisors
back to the appointment by the
county court. The supervisors OF

To the Citizens of Corvallis and sur
rounding: Having been engaged in the
real estate business for past ten years in
the East, have decided to take up the
business here. In doing so expect to
advertise in the East as well as here at
home and keep in touch, as nearly as
possible, with the emigration from the
East. Having been "a travelling real es.,
tate salesman through several of the
Eastern states and knowing the disad-
vantages of the different localities
shall be better able to set forth the ad-
vantages to be found here than the man
who has always lived here and is not &C.
quainted with the Eastern States. If
you wish to make inquiries rega riding
my past you can write to any prominent
citizen or to any of the banks of o. lwein
Iowa, that having been my headquarters
before coming here. After satisfying
yourselves as to my responsibility if you
have anything in the way of real estate
for sale or rent which you may see fit to
place in my hands, it will have my best
attention, and though you have no bust
ness to place with me shall be glad to
have you call as I should like to become
acquainted with you and will thank you
for any points of interest or good sug-
gestions for Eastern advertising. IF you
have property to list and it is convenient
please call on Saturday, however I shall
be glad to see you at any time. If you
are interested in the growth of our coun.
try please call and see me.
Wishing you all Merry Christmas
and Happy New Year, beg to remain
yours for business.
