CITY LIMITS FIGHT.
councilmen Differed All bot South
ern Suburbs to be Annexed-A
Midnight Scene.

Proposed extensions to the city
limits of Corvallis stirred up small
breeze in the council Monday night.
The question at issue was what
suburbs should be added to the
city, and what should not. Some
of the councilmen wanted proper
ty to the north, west and south
brought in, while others opposed
the extention of the limits so as to
include the Fischer mill and other
property south of Marys river.
Proceedings reached the stage
where one member allowed a dead
lock was on and plunged into
a harmony speech in which he
pleaded for peace. Dramatic effects
may have been added to the scene
by the fact that it was long after
midnight, and that all the rest Of
the city was in dreamy oblivion
while the dads wrest1ed and boxed
with the affairs of state. The
white-winged dove of peace settled
on the scene shortly before one
O. clock when the majority surrend-
cred to the minority and adopted
limits adding northern and western
suburbs to the corporation butleav-
ing the mill and other southern
suburbs out of it.
Several votes were taken before
an agreement was finally reached.
Councilman Emery moved to an
mex all the proposed limits but the
mill and other southern suburbs,
and called for yeas and nays. Mr..
Fischer was an interested specta-
tor while the roll was called. The
yeas were, Irvine, Johnson and
Emery; nays, Rennie, Colbert, Por-
ter and Hanse11. That time Emery S
motion was lost. Later on it was
not. +
/ The proposition to annex the
residence and farm suburbs north
and west without the southern sub
urbs apparently nettled Council
man Hanse11, and he moved that
none of the suburbs be annexed.
Emery seconded the motion. Then
Johnson said it was too bad for the
council to get at loggerheads. He
said the mill property was assessed
very low anyway. and that the
bridges over there might make the
bringing in of the mill suburbs a
costly piece of business to the city.
He asked Mr.. Fischer the question
if about $2e, 900 was all the mil
was assessed for, and then said this
whole matter was a cold business
proposition and that the brethren
of the council should not become as
strangers to EACH other. Council
man Hansel1 was touched and he
Withdrew his motion. Then E
councilman moved to reconside,
the Emery motion. The vote fo.
reconsideration was unanimous, ane
then a vote on the question of an
nexing all else but leaving out tht
mill suburbs was ordered, and Elm
cry called for the yeas and nays
The vote was: Yeas, Porter, Ir
vine, Johnson, Rennie, Hansel1
Emery. Nays, Colbert. Afte
that the council adjourned.

Obituary.

Mrs. D. l.. Meehan, wife of Dr. D. l.. Meehan, departed this life on Thursday, January 20, 1905. Sister Meehan's maiden name was Mollie NJ. Pendergrass. She was a daughter of Brother and Sister J. c. Pendergrass and was born February Is, 1872. She professed faith in Christ and joined the Missionary Baptist church when about eleven years old. She developed into an ex- cellent Christian character, was faithful to Christ and His church, was loving wife, kind and af- fectionate mother and true friend.
 In her last sickness which lasted for several months, she was very patient and cheerful, and when time drew near for her departure from this world she was concious that she must go. She told her parents and friends that she was ready for the sum- mons to come.
 Soon after l o'clock, January 20, she fell asleep in Jesus. Her body rests in Bluff Cemetery in Springdale, Arkansas, and awaits there the resurrection morning, but her spirit has joined loved ones who had gone before, in the Paradise of God.
 Blessed are the dead, which die in the Lord from henceforth. Yea saith the Spirit that they may rest from their labors and their works do follow them.
 May the Lord bless the parents, the brother and sister, the hus- band and the little girl who are left to mourn her loss.

l see 1n recent issue of The News that gentleman of Rogers said that Ill seventeen years ob- serVation that lie never saw an insect in the crop of a quail is not sustained by as eminent au- thority as the Year Book of the Department of Agriculture for 1908, on page 196, we find this: Insects are eaten every month of the year and 14.9S per cent of the food for the whole year. x * * Weevils are greatly sought after, forty-Seven cotton boil weevils having been eaten in a morning by one bob-white; striped cucum- Der beetles by the hundreds and chinch bugs by the tablespoonful. " On page 197 1t says: By far the greatest insect destruction by the bob-white occurs during the breeding season. Not only does a third of the food of the adult birds then consist of insects as has been stated but their growing broods consume insects ln enorm- ous quantities. s x x
 No stomachs of young bob whites have been examined Ill this investigation but 10 drop pings that were collected from two broods of chicks on July 24, 1902, disclosed a purely insective- arous diet.
 Now, 1t seems strange that men who pay out such large sums for insecticides will allow men who have no interest and care less to injure the best friends they have.

Hers will be a triumphal march
She will come delighting the eye of

dering zephyrs her reviving per-
fume. She will come garlanded
with summers sweetest flowers,
and ON her cheeks will tremble
something like the first blush of

She teammates the world and sheds
abroad the light of cheerfulness
and joy. She is the emblem of

QUIET RECLAIMED IN EQUITABLE

The controversy between young
Mr.. Hyde and other officials of the
Life Assurance Society
having been settled amicably, it is
quite safe to assume that the many
thousands of policyholders are
breathing easy again. Sinister
motives were charged as inspiring
the attitude of both sides to the
row, but there was no proof that
such was the case.
1t appears that the controversy
was precipitated by the frivolity
of Mr.. Hyde's way of life.
Some of the officials Of the com
pany admitted that there was moth
ing criminal or vicious in Mr..
Hyde's conduct, but declared that
it had become so frivolous as to
cause distrust of the Equitable and
other fiduciary Institutions, and to
indicate that Mr.. Hyde lacked APP
probation Of the responsibility OF
his inherited position, hence he
was not a man to be trusted by the
public with the enormous power
he has.
An officer of another insurance
company was quoted as saying tina
Mr.. Hyde's recent 100000 bal
had impaired confidence in life in
Isurance concerns all over the coun
try to the extent of costing hi
company 81, 900, 900. If such wa
the effect on the insurance system
of young Hyde's frivolous and os
tentatious social stunts it is no
surprising that rumpus was kick
ed up in the Equitable.
But there is no reason to believt
that his conduct had that effect.
