everybody enjoyed the splendid
Irepast, where soclabilitv reigned
supreme.
The installation ceremonies

pie of the Grange is union by
the strong and faithful tie o1
agriculture. The motto adopted

and by systematic work ano
intelligent calculation make farm
ing pay; to bring producer and
consumer, farmer and manufact-

friendly relation possible.
/ A selection by the Grange

well pleased with the entertain
tainment, and recognizing NOR

SOUTHERN SUBURB TAKEN IN.
Amendment to City Charter and
Extension of City Limits to
go Before legislature.

SO DSAolS LSSlSldluICs
The city council met in ad-
journed session Friday night anu
an amendment to the city charter
was voted upon and passed, pro
viding for the city to, at any
future date, issue bonds up to the
amount of $75, 900 to be used in
building muaicipal water works
system, to be owned and operat-
ed by the City of Corvallis.
This clause is only intended to
place the city in a position to
build her own works, it she
wanted to, If satisfactory con-
tract cannot be made with an
outside company. Itseems to be
the opinion of the council that if /
the city has to raise a bonus of
SIS, 900 to help some outsider to
put in a system, it had just as
we'll add a few thousand dollars
more to this amount and build a
system OF its own, which seems
to be very good plan. It is the
policy followed by Portland and
several other cities, and places
the city in a more independent
position. The amendment to the
charter is to go before this leg1s-
lature.
The question of extension of
city limits was again brought up
at this meeting, although at the
regular meeting last Monday
night this question was brought
up for what was supposed to be
the fnal hearing, and all interest
ed parties were given an oppor-
tunity of being present. 1t will
be remembered that the question
of taking in the northern, west
-ern and southern suburbs was
put to vote last Monday night,
and the council decided to take in
the northern and western additions
leaving out that portion south of
Marys river. The committees
were instructed to draw the
boundaries accordingly, for pres
entation to the legislature.
Last Friday mig ht, the question
of why the southern suburb was
left out was brought up by
Councilman Avery, and consider
able discussion, pro aud con,
followed. One of The reasons
was found TO he because of the
fact that new bridges and other
improvements would be required
over thege during this year,
amounting TO 5000 or 5000, which
would practically leave the city
! In hoi., as the lakes to be
Iderived frottl that sec. ion would
mot pay for tue additional i'm
provements. H However, M.
Avery thought that the suburb
should be taken in, regardless,
: along with the rest OF the add1-
tons, and a motion was carried
to reconsider the former decision,
. after which it was voted to take
in the southern part Of the town,
along the lines originally mapped
out, leaving out Marys bridge
and all property west of the state
road. Councilman Emery was
the only one present who was IN
favor Of standing pat" to ths
former action of the council or
the matter, claiming that it look
ed to much like children's work
{ to do and Judo such ma tiers
with such rapidity.
Senator Avery took the bill for
amendment of the charter ane
!, the extension of the city limit:
: to the legislature yesterday.
A petition was presented, pray
ing for a street light at the in
tersection of Third and Jackson
streels, and was referred to the
light committee.

SCORES ARE EVEN NOW.
Young Lady Who Was Fooled Turned
the Table on April.

A young lady, clerk in a store in this
borough was made the the victim Of u
joke through the telephone M day dur
ing the past winter, by the pro prietor Of
another store. each store having a phone
in. He stated that he was a party in
Perth Amboy and made an engage ment
with her for certain date.
The young lady very soon found out
who it was, but with her usual good
nature laughed over it. ut the same time
resolving that she would get even with
him. There seemed not the slightest
chance, until april FOOLS Day" drew
near, then n bright idea came to her.
The gentleman who had played the Joke
went over to Perth Amboy and purchased
a new hat. He left rhe old rne ut the
store. knowing this the young lady
went to Perth Amboy and purchased two
hat boxes. She had them marked, one
for the clerk in the gentleman's place and
one tor the proprietor, In the clerk' case.
The clerk received the hat boxes from
the expressman and paid the Is cents for
each box. OF course, they tumbled to the
joke and the clerk enjoyed it, but the
other party like numbers of others who
like to playtjokes on people, didn't see
any fun in paying p cents for an empty
hat box, or IN a joke played ON himself.
The young lady is all smiles over her cute
way or getting even with him, after so
many months.

BRUSH FIRES.
Staten Island People Becoming
Alarmed at the Destruction.

During the past week the people Of this
end of the Island have been greatly an
noyed by the many brush fires that have
occurred and it is understood that the
police have been notified and W i'll CO.
operate with the citizens in trying to put
a stop to the nuisance. In almost every
case the Tires are started by young boys
and when they get beyond control the
boys run away. Before the blaze can be
put out IN most cases, it has heen a hard
and dangerous battle.
Last Saturday night about : O'Clock
some small boys started a fire in the
brush at Huguenot avenue, Huguenot,
and AS a good stiff breeze was blowing
at the time it did not take the blaze
long to eat 1t before it was into the
underwood with the result that the woods
was soon on fire.
A passing citizen noticed the blaze and
Turned in an alarm from box G3, The
ffremeu arrived Just in time to save the
Huguenot Hotel owned by Louis Beng,
from going up in flames.
Sunday afternoon the woods at Broad
way Huguenot, were again set on fine
n the firemen had the same hard task.
1t is thought thai the worst ca Sc Of
brush fire ocurred in T%ottenville, Friday
afternoon.
About 1 O'Clock James Mcfarland, Il
young man started a fire in the rear of
his home in Butler avenue. In a short
time the blaze was eating its way toward
the house. Mcfarland, gave the alarm
and the women of the n~eIghborhood
formed a bucket brigade, and after a hal
hours hard battle they succeeded in put
ting the blaze out.

WAS A DANDY.
Fashioned April Fool Joke
Played on a Butcher.

Oneof the clerks.in a meat market in
town, lwho is very ohliging, took extra
pains 10 have n nice piece of beef put up
for u laAiy customer and also a package
of bones, etc, for her pet dogs. On
meetingl the lady in the street afterwards
he told Der he has sent the meat and that
he had remembered the dogs The lady
thanked aim for his kindness for she had
forgotten TO ask for the latter. On arriv-
ing at her home, SHE found the packages
done up in II large paper bag and her
name on it in two places In very large
letters. Drawing for the largest package
she found it so heavy thai shE was sur
prised and on opening it d still greater
surprise was in store.for her, for instead
OF the beef there was about eight or ten
pounds of frankfurters. She tumbled at
once.
The other clerks hal played a trick on
the gallant one, for it was April /. The
lady laughed so that the dogs who stood
by waiting for their share were astonished
aud began to show their sympathy by
jumping up and trying TO kiss her. it
was no use, their meat was there also,
but, those frankfurters and the Sundey
dinner Well. if there is any truth in
the old adage Laugh and grow fat"
that very slender lady ought to have
several pounds added TO. her weight.
Sunday morning the market was called
up and the clerk responded with the
missing beef aud carried back the frank
furters. The best OF it, is that anOthe +
package of meat ct g., for the dogs, was
Brought along with the beef for fear that
the.first package had not been sent. He
appeared not TO have tumbled to the
April fool trick and thought that a man
had carried off the wrong package Sat
urday evening but the name of the bag
was evidence enough to show that the
beef had been distracted and the frank
furters substituted in its place. The
question arises, who got the best Of the
joke? i think the dogs did instead OF
the clerks who perpetuated it.
