Monday. This will be of great
benefit to this section, and as q
revenue producer it has no equal
So don't forget to be present and
lend your assistance to the good
work and we feel assured that you
will never regret the organization
of a creamery here in Washburn.
In the organization Of a project OF
this kind it takes the hearty CO.
operation of the citizens to make
it a success. 1t has, time and time
again been demonstrated that it is
a paying proposition, and no bet
ter opportunity was ever offered
the people of this vicinity to Sc.
cure such a paying institution.
Some have the idea that this is a
''get rich quick" concern, but it is
nothing OF the kind. It is for the
purpose of converting into money
one of the surest products of the
farm to day, and one that is the
least considered-the dairy pro-
ducts. This is a question that in
terests the farmer far more than
any one else and as many that can
should try and be present at the
meeting Monday.

A great deal of credit is due to
our city merchants for their far.
in handling goods. Other
towns all over the state are report
ing a famine on kerosene, salt, and
various other necessities; but our
city has not wanted for anything,

Even Bismarck suffered from want
of coal and the electric light plant
was closed: likewise the Capitol,
we have travelled on just as
we had trains every day.

LatestWar News.

There is nothing startling in the
latest war news. 1t turns out that
the reported sinking of japanese
war vessels at Port Arthur came
from the sinking of old hulks that
Japan herself was trying to drop in
the harbor entrance for the purpose
of bottling upthe Russian squadron.
The Russians discovered the at
tempt in time, and by well direc-
ted fire prevented the hulks being
sunk in the entrance.
A late dispatch related that the
Japs have landed a force at a bay
ninety miles south of Vladivostok,
and that the Russian garrison there
fled before the Japs without firing a
shot. A future attack by Japs
either upon Vladovostok or for des-
truction of the Manchurian railroad
is supposed to be the plan the Japs
have in view by this move.

LADY MACCABEES ASTIR.
Preparing for a big Entertainment
Wed nesday.

Just now there is considerable
stir among the local hive of Lady
Maccabees. If it were a little later
in the season casual observer
would suspect that they were about
to swarm, but that is not what ails
them. Neither are these disciples
of the ancient warriors planning an
attack upon the descendants of the
old enemy. They are not bustling
about securing bandages to send
over to the Japs. Whatever their
movements may indicate, their activ-
ity in reality is not in pursuance
of any warlike purpose. Their eff
forts are rather in the promotion of
peace, good fellowship and the
financial and numerical prosperity
of their fraternal home. The ladies
are simply preparing to entertain
their friendsa and all who may choose
to meet with them at their hive in
Odd Fellows hall, Wednesday eve
ming, March end. There is to be a
program, games, substantial refresh
ments and number of features to
be held in reserve as a surprise for
the evening. This being the season
for reductions and the disposi-
ton of things at COST the price
of admission to the main tent and
all the sideshows, has been fixed at
20 cents. This offers a rare op-
! portunity to lay in large supply
of entertainment at an expense
within the reach of all. Among the
special features will be the presence
of Turney's orchestra. Other things
in proportion. You can't afford to
miss it. Lots of fun, lots of socia-
bility, lots to eat, lots to drink, ali
for 20 cents. No street parade, on
account of the probable inclemency
of the weather.

THEY MUST NOT DRINK.
Nor use Tobacco-How to be Healthy
Urine to his men.

In the latest issue of the OAC
Barometer, there is an article by w
o. Trine that should disarm all
those who offer objections to college
athletics. In it, Mr.. Trine tells his
men what rules to follow in order
to secure the best results. He tells
them first of all, to eschew all dissi-
patton and says that "dissipation
cannot be mixed in the making of
an athlete" He tells them what
foods to avoid and what to eat, lay
ing down rules in this particular
that appeal to the good sense, to
science and to well known facts.
He says matt Liquors, wines and
other Intoxicating drinks must not
be used and continues, "use of
tobacco in any form is detrimental,
more particularly so, is the deadly
cigarette. Sleep must be regular
with an invio1able rule of "early to
bed and early to rise After de-
scribing the method and Importance
of light early morning exercise, and
decrying scuf1ing and other violent
forms of exercise, the article conclu
des: "Be ON time regularly for in
structions on track and field, and
you will not only benefit yourself
physically but mentally, and morally
and will learn to respect the laws of
nature, and gain the discipline over
yourself, SO necessary to perfect
manhood and business success
The article is we'll worth the time
of any man to commit to memory,
and If all would observe it, disease,
physical weakness and debility
would become far more rare and
physicians would have far less en-
ployment. 1t is temperance lee
ture, sermon, a parents injunct-
ion and a doctors best advice, all
in one.

was found to their dismay that
while the loop would not slip TO
tighten, neither would it slip to
loosen, and, to add to their troubles.
the colt had become vicious. and
wholly unapproachable. How to
free the colt became the question
before the assembly. and its dis
cussion evolved a plan which was
acted upon. The lasso was passed
around gate post, encircling at
the same time, the forward upright
of the gate. By the combined ef-
forts of one saddle horse and the
boys, the colt was snubbed upclose.
Jimmy from the opposite side of
the fence, made a slash with knife
to cut the moose The colt lodged
and the weapon took effect few
inches below the slip-loop, freeing
the animal with very uncomtort-
able necktie.
WHAT HAPPENED AT HOME
Night was then coming on
the boys were worn out, and
although they believed the moose
would slacken when it got dry or
got wetter, they left the scene with
much misgiving as to the colts fate.
On the way home the spirits of
fhe vounpsters xuera somewhat en-
livened when Dub's colt. taking
him unaware, suddenly went to
bucking and threw its rider into a
mudhole.. No injury resulted and
the boys were shortly on the wary
again. So far as is known to the
outside world, this closes the boys
adventures of the day. but maybe
something's happened in the cloisters
of their homes that the near neigh
bors, only. were aware of.

ACT NOW.

The official invitation has been
received, for Benton county to
make an exhibit at the Lewis and
Clark Fair. The response ought
to be the very best display of prod
ucts that the intelligence and re-
sources of the county can put for
ward. The occasion will be the
greatest of all opportunities for ma
terial good to result from an exhib-
it of products. Unlike the case of
most exhibits, such display as Ben
ton may make at the exposition will
be looked at, by many an actual
homeseeker, who will be materially
influenced by what he sees therein,
to come to the county. or not to
come. Any investment the county
may make in the direction will be
like buying pure gold, save that it
will come back, not one, but many
fold. 1t will be an opportunity
that it would not only be folly, but
criminal folly to fail to take ad-
vantage of. Do Our people want
more property-owners to help pay
taxes, more farm owners to help
build roads, more citizens to make
a bigger, richer and better Benton?
Then, act.

THEIR LODGE DEcRRED IT.
And They Rode 'em-Boy Busters and
Their Baonchos-A Tale of Lodge,
Lariat and Lickings.

The secret society idea possesses
Corvallis boys now, and there are
many juvenile lodges in town. They
have great sachems and other ped
estaled and pedigreed officials, and
systems of ancient and mythical
rites. wierd and spookful. Among
them is the Rough and Ready Sons
of Webfoot, whose meeting place is
the loft of John Smiths barn. At
the meeting last Saturday night.
it was unanimously voted by the
lodge that fitting tribute should
be paid to the noble and departed
Washington, and the celebration
that resulted included incidents
thrilling and hairbreadth enough
to make the hair of grown folks
stand on end and that incidentally
very nearly killed a valuable horse.
THE START.
At the meeting, it was solemnly
decreed that on Washington birth
day, each member of the lodge
should ride wild horse. A couple
Of members objected to the pro-
position. but they were informed
that the slightest exhibition of cold
feet would be promptly followed
by expulsion from the order. In
the McFadden stables there were
two young bronchos, halterbrok-
en-, but they had never been ridden.
They would answer the purpose so
far as they went. Up in Avery's
pasture there was three-year old
colt which had never seen a halter.
This animal belonged to a member
of the lodge and was at the service
Of the boys. Those participating
in the days sport were "Jigs" Eel
ton, "Timmy" Flett, Ike" Smith,
Fat and "Dubs' McFadden, and
Socks" Avery.
At one o'clock p. m. the Rough
and Readies assembled at the Nc
Fadden barn. The larger of the
colts was saddled, and Dubs was
to put him over the road to Avery's
pasture. The other colt was
two-year-old and Timmy Flett was
to ride him bareback.
Other members rode horses already
broken to the saddle. When the
boys were securely mounted and
the calvalcade started, Dub's horse
gave as fine an exhibition of buck
Ing as could be desired by the most
buccaroo, but the boy stuck
to him Ikea herioc rough rider. In
the meantime Timmy's mount had !
su1ked and no kind OF persuasion
could move the animal from his
tracks. He was finally led back to
The stable, Tim then mounting be-
hind Ike, and all reached their
destination without extraordinary
incident.

LHE CAPTURE.


At the pasture the boys rounded
up the bunch of horses which con-
tanned the object of their designs.
They turned out of the enclosure
all but the one which they intend
ed to ride. Then various men,
bers of the party made Intellectual
attempts to lasso the colt. 1t came
Ike's turn to WELD the lariat. He
was mounted. and the deliberation
and precision with which he ar.
ranged the moose and coils stamped
him as an expert. as his lineage
and opportunities would have war
ranted in advance. When the
lasso had been arranged to Ike's
satisfaction he directed his comrades
to run the colt his way, at the same
time swinging the moose so that it
should attain the required poise
for the supreme moment. AS the
colt shot by him, little Ike made
the cast with charming precision.
The coils unfolded without a kink
and the moose encircled the throttle
of the frightened animal. Instant
ly the boy made two turns with
the lasso about the pommel of his
saddle, and the sudden stop and the
following struggle were exciting
features of the days sport. At
length the colt fell from exhaustion
and strangulation. This was ex-
pected and the thing desired. AS
many little chaps as could do so,
planted themselves upon the pros
trate animals head with the view
of holding it down until it could be
bridled, but all the brides at hand
were found to be too large. The
colt breathed with much difficulty
and it seemed necessary to act
quickly else it might stop breath
ing altogether. The moose was
loosened with the idea of improv-
ising halter with the rope, but
with this actionthe animal recover
ed strength and the boys proved
too light to hold it down. Despite
the best efforts of the little fellows
the colt recovered its feet. Again
the choking process was resorted to.
THE BRoNcHo FOUGHT.
Sufficient tension was acquired to
cause the colt to breathe with q
gurgling sound, but the rope had
become wet and the moose re.
fused to tighten to the point o1
again prostrating the poor animal
After due effort to overcome the
difficulty the boys gave it up. and
! when the rope was piven slack i
