Going to Keep City Hall Clean now.
The City Hall building, which in
most times past has been famed
throughout town as an untidy estab-
lishment, is hereafter to be kept
clean from bastile to belfry. The
fire department took up the matter
at a recent meeting and sent the
chief engineer before the council to
ask that body for assistance in the
way of tidying up the building. Mr.
Rennie made a pathetic speech to
the Fathers, pointing out wherein
there could be Improvement and, in
dulcet tones, told how cheaply and
easily the cobwebs in the corners,
the dust on the windows ard the
tobacco stains on the floors could be
removed. The fathers were deep
ly touched, and each, figuratively
speaking, smote his breast and con-
sented to a change. The fire chief
was given authority to employ a
janitor and to have the building
cleaned throughout whenever con-
ditions shall require it, and here
after, when the city's handsome
public Building shall be unclean the
blame will be entirely on Fire Chic
Rennie.

TO SAVE BOYS.
Law Passed to Prevent Them From
Boarding Moving Trains.


Boarding Moving Trains.
How small boys climb on and
of of swiftly moving trains at the
railroad stations, always at immin-
eut peril to themselves, was recent
ly described in these columns.
Sometimes. with train moving at
considerable speed, halt a dozen of
them are seen climbing about on
the locomotive, chasing each other
on the top of rushing box cars, and
in other ways inviting a violent
death by accident, a melancholy
funeral and deeply bereaved home
The matter has been taken up by
the railroad company and the city
council. and law has been passed,
providing for the arrest and pun
ishment Of boys who do such things
and for the arrest and punish
ment of trainmen who permit
the dangerous practice. The or
dinance was prepared at the re-
quest of the railroad company, and
went through the city council by
unanimous vote at a meeting Mon
day night. The penalties prescrib-
ed for both the boys and the train
men are heavy, and there is a strong
determination on the part Of the
authorities to see that they are en-
forced. The ordinance, which is
now in effect, is as follows:
Section one-It shall be unlaw-
full for any boy or other person to
climb upon, ride, or hold on to any
car while in motion of any railroad
company within the limits of the
city of Corvallis without having
first prepaid fare for such ride.
Section two-Any person who
shall violate the provisions of sec
ton one of this ordinance or any
traiaman, conductor. brakeman or
other employe of any railroad COM
pany whose cars run through the
city of Corvallis, who shall allow
any boy or other person to climb
upon. ride or hold to the said cars
while in motion, within the corpor-
ate limits of the city of Corvallis,
shall be fined not more than fifty
dollars nor less than two dollars
upon conviction in the police court
of Corvallis, Oregon.

WANT WOOL SAMPLES.
And kohair for Benton Exhibit at the
Lewis and Something About

The committee appointed to coli
lect Benton county's exhibit for
the Lewis and Clark fair wish to
get as many and as fine samples as
possible of wool and mohair. Those
gathered this spring will be better
prepared and arranged than those
secured next season. Locks the
size of ones thumb or larger are
most suitable to show length. For
fine wool or lambs wool, growers
must use their judgment.
The name of the grower should
be tied to each sample and will ap-
pear in the exhibit. We shall be
glad of the loan of whole feeces
or goat hides with fleece washed o,
dyed if such are extra fine.
Samples may be left with S
L. Kline or probably any buyer ir

PASSED AWAY.
James Wilkinson He died Suddenly
at Los Angeles Last Saturday.

/
at Los Angeles Last Saturday.
James Wilkinson, for thirty years
or more resident of Benton, is
dead. He passed away at Los An
geles, California, at six o'clock
Saturday morning. But little is
known of the details, but it is sup
posed that he succumbed to an at
tack of paralysis. A letter written
by Mrs. Wilkinson Friday evening
and received by the family here on
Monday indicated that he was al
that time as well as usual. 1t rela-
ted that the G. A. R. Veterans oi
Nevada and California had beer
parading the streets during the day
but the weather was too hot for MI
Wilkinson to be out, indicatinglthai
his condition was not precarious.
His sudden death a few hours later,
announced by a telegram received
here Saturday forenoon, suggests
that paralysis or some other violent
development must have appeared.
Mrs. Wilkinson left Los Angeles
with the remains at six O'Clock
Monday evening, and is expected
here this Wednesday evening OF
tomorrow morning. The funeral i:
likely to occur tomorrow afternoon
though no arrangements along this
line will be made until Mrs. vii
kinson has been heard from.
The deceased was aged about g.
years. He was born in Illinois, ane
served through the Civil War il
the 3rd Missouri Cavalry, partici
pating in the Red River campaigns
and other services west of the Mis-
sissippi. He came to Oregon early il
the Seventies, and for several year.
operated a farm owned south O
Corvallis by John Richard. Late,
he purchased the well known
Wilkinson farm in the southern par
of the county, which he occupied
until failing health, two or thres
years ago, caused his removal t.
Corvallis. Mr. Wilkinson was kint
neighbor, a good citizen, and hi.
death is regretted by a wide circle
of friends.

themselves and their friends. These
were Greenhal1 in the quarter,
and Currin who defeated Steiwer
by half a second in the half. The
time of each was excellent for so
early in the season, and both gave
promise of further important devel-
opment hereafter.

the contest at the Columbia Univer-
sity meet, to be held in Portland
Saturday. The men will return to
Corvallis on Sunday. The events

Mr.. SuberS related remarkable story
OF a cotton patch which he was de-
yeloping on hillside which he 10
Gated quite indefinitely and described
in glittering eeneralltieS. The nature
OF this experiment patch was such
that the young reporter felt 1t his
