TEMPERANCE WOMEN MEET
National Convention Opens Its Annual
Session al Los Angeles,
ANNUAL ADDRESS IF THE PRESIDENT
Mrs. Stevens says opposition of Army
omcers to Abolition of Canteen
IL Not Supported by
Statistics.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Oct 27.-The first
day S session of the thirty second annual
convention Of the National Woman's
Christian Temperance union was devoted
TO routine matters. Devotional exercises
the appointment OF committees, and the
hearing of reports by the executive officials
of the organization occupied almost the
entire morning and afternoon sessions The
feature OF the first session was the annual
address OF the president, Mrs. Lillian NJ.
Stevens OF Maine.
Mrs. Stevens address recited the work
OF the woman's Christian Temperance
union during the last year. commented
upon the various legislative measures the
organization is urging, both in state legis-
latures and in the national legislatures. and
spoke very encouragingiy of the future
growth of the temperance movement.
Address of Mrs. stevens.
In her annual address, Mrs. Stevens re-
viewed the developments Of the past year
and saw much reason for encouragement.
Upon the subject of reform bills intro
duced in the last congress and which were
acted upon said:
At mention OF there is before you Wis
ions Of petitions you have circulated, MEM
cries OF weary miles you have Travelled,
rebuffs you have endured, arguments you
But no memories OF defeat, for YOU have
wrought with a triumphant spirit, and the
same spirit is ours today as we look for
ward to the coming months.
Mrs Stevens was positive in her attitude
against the re-establshment OF the army
canteen. She read letters from Secretary
Of War Taft and others showing that army
officers as a rule, claim there is more
drunkenness among enlisted men since the
canteen has been abolished than before
but she insisted that no statistics have
been compiled 10 support their position.
The attempt TO revive the canteen Is only
a small part OF the work of the liquor ele-
ment OF this country, and l confidently
predict that congress will take no adverse
action the coming winter.
Opposes GOthenburE system,
Mrs. Stevens touched on all the questions
with which the temperance union concerns
crusade. patent medicines and the Gothen-
burg system Of regulating the liquor
trafic
Mrs. Stevens declared the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance union TO be unqualihedly
opposed TO the Gothenburg system, which
she considered would be a compromise with
the liquor interests.
Mrs. Stevens saw much TO encourage the
advocates of equal suffrage. and believes
the time TO be near when all women as
well as men, may exercise the privilege OF
ballot.
Reports OF the national officers and heads
Of the departments occurred at the after
noon session.

petty officer of the United States navy.
The employee, it has been explained TO the
department, said that neither he nor his
wife had any objection TO the uniform, but
owing to the prejudice which existed in the
town of Berkeley against sailors, he felt
1t due to his family in order to maintain
their position in the town, that he should
refuse to allow sailor to reside in his
house.

DRAWING PLANS. .
For Women's Building at 0AC-Com-
1nittee to Build If not Stopped by
Referendum.

Preliminary plans of the propos-
ed new Woman's building for OAC
for which the late legislature made
appropriation, were exhibited in
town Saturday. Architect Bur-
graf of Albany, brought them up
to Corvallis for the inspection of
President Catch and other mem
bers of the faculty, and to receive
suggestions relative to any change
of arrangement. The proposed
cost of the building is $4,000. A
committee of the board has been de-
tailed to let the contract for con-
struction. The total amount of
appropriation, for the building and
a drill shed, is $4,000. For
the money, the new structure
should be, by all odds. the finest
building on the grounds. In any
event, it is to cost more than has
been paid out for any building SO
far erected. 1t will probably be
located on the site Of the Hogg
house. 1t is the purpose, if possible
to complete the building in time
for occupancy when college opens
next autumn. BY the present pre-
1iminary plans, the building is
largely designed after a similar
building at the University of Michi-
gan. The latter is one of the finest
buildings of the sort in the country.
The new structure is badly needed
at the college, and has been SO
needed for a number of years.
Of course, preparations will cease
If the effort to invoke the referen-
dun on the omnibus appropriation
bill continues until enough names
to obtain submission Of the bill to
popular vote are secured. There
could be no vote on the bill until
the June election next year. If the
bill by that vote should be vetoed
by the people. the appropriation
would be gone forever.

the wound failed. A friend from
Portland named Keesey, arrived
and used every endeavor to get the
facts out of him; but without re-
suit. Keesey is one of the witness
es for the prosecution. After nine
days, Sharratt died. A post NOR
tenn examination was made by DR..
Parker Of Newport. The ball was
not found. In the Upper part of
the brain, near the temple large
quantity of pus was found. The
statement of persons who were with
the doctor at the post mortem is
that almost tea cup measure of
it was removed. The finding of
DIR. Parker was that death was
caused directly by this pus accum-
ulation. And now the doctor him
self is held under $500 bonds as an
accessory with the Greens to the
murder.

STORY OF THE SNOWDROP

Alas for the snow maidenl She
thought she was doomed to death. and
at the thought she trembled and wept.
Ihen Gaianthus rushed and took her
In his arms. But afasl the moment ne
touched her his beautiful shining armor
became brown and dull, end he himself
became as dead. But he never let go the
snow maiden. and they two together
sank down, down. down-to Mother
Earth!
Mother Earth was sorry for the snow
maiden. who sadly missed all her snow
companions. So she promised her that
she might now and then go back to the
light TO look on them.
SO 1t is that every spring the little
Snowdrop peeps out above Mother
EaTeh's bosom. The reason why she
waits till spring is that she needs the
ala or Gaianthus to lift her up In his
arms and keep her safe in his cloak.

surface. When he reaches II, however
he hastens to lift the snow maiden I'M
and let her look all around for her old
playmates of the snow.
But, alaSi she is always Just a little
bit too lateI All the Little People OF
the Snow have fed to the mountain
tops. and poor little Snowdrop can only
hang her head in sorrow and hope that
GalanthuS will arrive earlier next year.
But she soon RECEIVERS from her grief.
for she loves Galanthus dearly, and Is
very happy to live with him in the
home of his Mother Earth.

LTOU all know the snowdrop. do you
I not? Such a pretty. dainty flower.
But do you know the story
about it?
Well. once upon a time the snowdrop
was little snow maiden-one of the
Little People of the Snow-and she lived
IN great palace built OF snow.
AND once there was a noble Snow
Knight. who was confined in dark dun
geon beneath the palace. He was not
one OF the snow children, but only an
earth child. and his name was Galan-
thus. Over his garments he wore suit
of shining armor. greenish in tint.
One day the snow maiden found him
In his awful dungeon. and her heart
wept for him. So every day she visited
him In the dungeon to comfort him,
and he. in return, told her stories about
his Mother Earth and many or her won
derful doings. to all of which the snow
maiden listened open-eyed with amaze
ment.
After a while spring began to dawn
dread spring, before which all snow
children flee In terror to the mountain
tops. where spring cannot find and
catch them. But our snow maiden was
so fascinated by Galanthus' stories that
she never noticed the stcalthy approach
of spring.
And so 1t was that at last one day,
while she was visiting Galanthus and
listening to his charming stories, the
walls OF the snow palace suddenly he
gan TO crumbIe and fall. Twas the
breath OF the south wind melting them
to nothing.
