Citizens and Firemen Meet.

A large number of citizens ans
fremen met in the City Hall OF
Wednesday evening for the pur
pose of resurrecting, if possible
the fire department of Corvallis
The meeting was success and i
the adopted plans are carried ou
we will again have a frst-clas'
fire protection.
Numerous speeches were made
by both citizens and fremen
About 20 honorary and go active
members were taken in. The
former or honorary members will
consist of business men whose
object will be to "keep things
moving" and to keep interest in
fused in the organization. The
active members enrolled will do
the FIRE fighting.
Chief Sheasgreen informs us
that the active members will con.
sist only of those willing to turn
out at every alarm and to use
their best efforts for the protec-
ton of property. By ''active, p"
the chief means active and not
those willing to pay their fine
and stay at home. He says the
fremen want men and not money.
Movement will also be taken
toward supplying the city with a
chemical engine. This is some
thing that Corvallis is very much
in need Of, as the suburbs are not
within the protection of the city
water. The fremeA have about
$50 in their treasury and Chief
Sheasgreen suggested they pur-
chase long rubber coats and hats
to be worn at fires.
Numerous other suggestions
were made and commented upon.
and all were of the unanimous
opinion that Corvallis cannot be
without a fire department, and
from the interest manifested by
the large crowd present, we will
soon have a better means of fight
ing fire than ever before. The
election of officers will be held
the first Monday in Februry.

"Sandy Bottom"

A large crowd greeted the
above company at the Opera
House on Tuesday evening.
"Sandy Bottom is a pretty
Southern play, with the usual
william, hero and heroine. These
three carried out their respective
roles in good shape, especially
the young lady who assumed the
leading part. She is a clever lit
tie actress and was by far the best
player the company carries.
The village quartet was an en-
tertaining feature and their sing
ing was very good.
Saturday nights bill will be
"Maloney's Wedding" This
company is filling in an extra en-
gagement here and the manage
ment was fortunate in securing
this musical comedy. Don't fail

Successful Grange Meeting.

Paramount Grange, No. asa,
met Saturday, January 10th,
with a large lumber of members
and few invited friends present
The secretary reported 43 mem
bers in good standing. The
Grange is in a healthy condition
and expects to do some good work
this year. The table was spread
at noon and as Fairmount boasts
of having the best cooks in Ben
ton county, it was really hard for
one to decide when he should
surrender his knife and fork.
After dinner the officers for the
present year were installed.
State Deputy c. H. Walker off,
ciated as installing officer assisted
by Miss Mabel Williamson, Of
Albany. Those installed are as
follows: Master, Mrs. B. M.
Shannon; overseer, Mrs. Lizzie
Reese; lecturer, T. ]. Risley;
stewart, A. Henshaw; A. S.,
Fred Leeper; Chap, Mrs. Cora
Leeper; Treas, F. L. Holmes;
Sec, Oscar Leeper; G. K. w.
B. Shannon; Pomona, Miss Nan
Gle Henshaw; Flora, Miss Emma
Slower; Ceres. Mrs. F. L.
L. A. S., Mrs. Maggie
The work was nicely,
performed and reflected credit
upon Mr.. Walker as an installing
officer.
Mr.. Walker and others then
discussed the present condition of
the grange organization and its
future prospects, in an interest
ing manner. ........... !
On motion the Grange decided
to comply with Supt. Denman's
to have a Parents Meet
ing at its next regular meeting
in February.

The oranges.

The members of the State
Grange are active in forwarding
preparations for the meeting in
this city next May. State Mas
ter. G. B. Leedy, of Tigardville,
upon his recent visit to Corvallis,
stated that the 100 Oranges OF
Oregon will be we'll represented
at the coming session. All the
subordinate Oranges are taking
great interest in the meeting.
During the past year the Ma
tional Master visited Corvallis
and aroused much interest in the
meeting of the National Grange,
which will be held iii Portland
in November. The most impor-
tant subject to come up at the
session will be action on the Ma
tional movement for good roads.
This matter will be managed the
same as was the original move
ment for rural movement for rural
delivery, many of the same lead
ers will enlist in its favor. This
bill will give $3.50, 900 to this
State for road building.
The farmer is the backbone of
the country; it is he who feeds
the entire population, and he is no
longer satisfied with poor roads.
At last it seems as if the Ma
tional Government was going to
do something for the farmer. A
bill has been introduced in Con-
gress called the Brownlow Bill,
which appropriates $24, 900. 900
as National aid for the building
of roads. The farmer wants this
bill to pass, and hetis determined
that the National Government
shall do something for him, as
we'll as for the rest of its citizens.
Deputy Master George Den
man announces that all the
Oranges in Benton county are in
creasing in interest, membership
and attendance. AS an example,
Corvallis Grange, so it is stated,
added II new members recently
to the growing list.

.Maloney's Wedding.

"Laugh and the world laughs with you
Weep and you weep alone,
For the sad old earth must borrow lts
mirth,
1t has troubles enough OF its own.
McCoy's whimsical comedy,
s'Ma1oney's Wedding contains
an abundance of mirth which it
has been lending to the theatre
goers for several seasons past,
and seemingly its store of mel
anchelia antidotes is far from
being exhausted. This season
little remains of the old play ex-
eept the title. Friends of the
old tavorite will scarce recognize
the play when it makes its sea-
sons advent at the Opera House
on next Saturday night.

! Corvallis has been deluged with
theatrical attractions during the
past 10 days. We have had farce
comedy, melodrama and tomorrow
night we are to get musical comedy
1t Is to be regretted that SO many
high class attractions came here in
80 short time. The management
of the Opera House had been in
correspondence with each of these
three late attractions and had
agreed to play them, but expected
their dates would be ten days to
two weeks apart instead of three In
ten days.. However, Mr.. Wilson as
sures us that there will be no such
congestion in the future, and, in
fact, it will be some time before
another show will be here.
Considerable interest is being
taken in the basket social of the
Woman's Relief Corps which comes
off this Friday evening, at the I.
o. o. F. hall. The auctioning off
of the baskets will be one of the
features of the evening. The young
girls ought to get more for their
baskets than the older ladies, even
if the latter's baskets are the full
est. A boy can't eat much when a
pretty girl is talking to him any
how. The proceeds of the basket
sale will 60 to the relief fund of the
corps. Iu addition to the collation.,
a choice entertainment of music
and recitations will be given. Don't
forget that this comes off this Fri
day evening, January %.

Members of the Y. NJ. c. A. or
ganization are contemplating the
erection of a $40, ,OU0 building near
the college campus. State Secre-
tary Stone was in this place during
the week. looking over the ground,
and he states that he will advise
that such a structure be erected,
owing to the importance of being in
close touch with student life. The
College Y. NJ. G. A. is strong in
number, and great interest is taken
in the work by the students, the
great drawback being lack of &C
commodations for meetings, etc,
Mr.. Stone states that there is on
hand about $4,000 available for such
a purpose, and he has no doubt that
the remainder can be raised by pub
lie subscription. A site outside for
the structure would have to be pui-
chased, as it is not allowable under
the law to put up other than state
buildings on the college campus.

F|END! YOU DID Il!
Sister of Dead Man HurIs
This Charge at Nan
Patterson.
CRv the Associated Press.)

New York, June 10.-Interest in
the mystery surrounding the death
of Caesar Young, the bookmaker, last
Saturday. centered today in the eff
forts of the police to find J. Morgan
smith the brother-in-laW of Mrs. Nan
Patterson in order to serve on him
a BODY attachment requiring him. to
appear before the grand jury and
tell what he may know of the case.
Smith and his life left their apart
ments in the st. Paul hotel Wednes-
day. and it is not known where they
are.
Stern, the pawn broker, who sold
the revolver found in Young's pocket,
i'm his testimony before the grand jury
said he was positive he could identify
man to whom he sold it. He was
given a view of Mrs. Patterson, but
said he could not identify her as the
woman who accompanied the man to
whom he sold the revolver. The
grand Jury expressed the desire to
have Stern confront j. Morgan Smith,
and then it was learned that Smith
had not appeared in answer to the
summons that had been served on
him.
Stern said that the woman who ac-
COMMANDED the purchaser of the re-
volver seemed to be much interested
in the weapon, and had him explain
how to load, fire and eject the empty
shells. She took the weapon i'll her
hand and snapped the trigger two
or three times while pointing it at the
floor.
1t was said today that in addition
to Mr.. and Mrs. j. Morgan Smith,
another witness whom the police con-
n X inEr
a thorough investigation of the case,
has mysteriously disappeared. The
man is Harry Frank. a bartender in
the saloon where Young and Mrs.
Patterson are said to have spent a
great part of the night before Young
was shot. Frank was summoned to
appear before the grand jury to re-
peat any conversation between Young
and Mrs Patterson which he may
have overhead while they were in the
saloon but he did not appear and
the officers were unable to find him.
The examination of all available wit
nesses was completed by the grand
jury during the day.
The grand jury reported this after
noon but did not return an indictment
against Mrs. Patterson. 1t was re-
ported that if the case is to be re-
considered by the grand jury it will
not be taken up until some time next
week.
A dramatic scene occurred after the
icoroner's hearing, while Mrs. Pat
terson was being led back to the
Tombs. Mrs. William Luce, sister of
the dead bookmaker, confronted Mrs.
Patterson and cried out:
"You fiend. You did it"
Mrs. Luce tried to reach Mrs. Pat
terson, but was prevented by an Off
Ger and was led away.
There was to have been a coroner's
hearing today in the Young inquest,
but it was postponed until Monday af-
ter jury had been empanelled. Mr.
Levy. of counsel for Mrs. Patterson,
protested against the adjournment.
