cussed and explained the manner

have made it part of my duty to
see that this is loaned out and kept

that two of the members of the
board are republicans and that they
did this: They we're there four
years before and did not loan it, al
though the law reducing the inter

that the treasurer can take $7oo, G 90

banks of the state and draw 4 psr

pocket about $28, 900 In a year. At

There is not man in this audien ca

FOUR MASTERS HERE.
Five Carloads of Grangers Wis
tied State College Yesterday.

The spectacle of four past masters
with all the members and officers
of the State Grange sitting on the
platform of the Oregon Agricultur-
al College was witnessed yesterday
for the second time in the history
of that institution. The past mss-
tiers were G. B. Leedy, of Tigards-
vile; W. NJ. Hilleary, of Turner:
J. Hayes. of Oregon City; and
Judge &. P. B iss, of Sci N. These,
with President Weatherford of the
board, were the escort of the State
Grange, which was briefly estima;-
ed at five car loads.
At the chapel they were met by
President Catch. who introduced
Mr.. Leedy as the master of ceremo-
nies. Austin T. Buxton. master
elect, Mrs. Clara 81. Waldo, over
seer; Mr.. Weatheriord, and Cap
tain Apperson, of Oregon C,ty-All
members of the board of regents,
and officers of the S:ate Grange
addressed the student body, the
faculty and the visitors.
The principal theme of discussion
was the Imperative need Of enlarg.
ed facilities for caring for young la.
dies from abroad 30 that they may
be under the direction of the Fac.
ulty while in college. Since there
promises to be at least fifty more
girls than hitherto this demand al
the hand of the college was empha.
sized and urged, especially by the
president of the board. Promptly
at 6 o'clock P. M, the State Grange
took its leave from the Oregon town

Portland, May "a. Portland Tel
egram: Saloons in Portland can
not be closed under the state law,
and 10 county or state oficls1 has
authority to interfere with the reg
ulation of the liquor traffic in this
city. This is the opinion of City
Attorney McNary, who bases bis
contention on section u, division
48, of the city charter, which reads:
"No provision of the law concern
ing the sale or disposition of any
spirituous, vinous, fermented or
malt liquors in Multnomah ce unity
shall apply to the sale ordisposition
of the same in the city of Portland. -
This clause in the city charter is
sad 10 take precedt ,e tvsr the
state law which is applicable to all
the counties of the state, because
the charter was passed by the legis.
.ature after the Sunday closing of
saloons went into effect, and also
because a special law, euch as the
charter, affecting any particular
district, is paramount over a gener-
al state law. "a. g.-e. 4.sf =,
City Attorney -McNafy said yes
terday that there could be no ques-
ton about the meaning of the clause
and that the state Sunday,closing
law could. net be enforced In this
city BY county or state officials He
was of the opinion that this clause
had been inserted in the charter for
the express purpose of giving ths
right to the city council to make
auch laws as it desired TO regulate
the liquor traffic.
''Th1s clause in the charter takes
precedence over a general state law
providing for Sunday closing" said
be, "beoause 1t is a special act Of

ticular district"

MASS MEETING HELD.
Movement to Make Monday
Cleaning-up Day IS now on.

The, movement to clean up Cor
wallis took definite shape at a mass
meeting of citizens at the City Hall
last night, and if plans materia1ize
everybody in town will take a hand
in the work Monday. The plan
is the same as that employed in
cities and towns all over the coun-
try. Whenever tried, the effect in
the way of transformation of ap-
pearances is said to be wonderful.
1t is claimed that nobody before
hand can get an adequate concep-
ton of the extraordinary change
for the better in appearances than
can be wrought by the plan in a
single day.
All the details of the day in Cor
wallis have not been worked. out.
A big committee has been appoint
ed and is busy with arrangements
today. The mass meeting, by
resolution asked Corvallis business
houses to close during Monday
forenoon. A similar resolution re-
quested that the public school chill.
dren be induced to take part in the
movement, the idea being that no
instruction so good could be given
them as one half day devoted to
improving their home town. An
army of these little workers engaged
with parents in getting the rubbish
out of sight, it was urged, will be
an object lesson, one that the young
sters will ever remember, and one
that will, when they are the grown
citizens make them interested in
keeping the towns and cities of
their day clean.
The mass neeii7g named Coun-
| ty Judge Waters general superin-
tendent for Monday, and gave him
the following assistants, Ist ward,
J. H. Harris and Mrs. R. H. Hus
ton; second ward, S. N. Wilkins
and Mrs. Sarah Moore; third ward,
Frank Francisco, Mrs. Rose Selling
and Mrs. M. J. Wells. A new or
dinance by the city council provides
for the cutting Of grass on the curb
and to the middle of the street and
has a fine for refusal to do so. The
committees are to completely cover
the city. The ordinance for clean
ing up premises is very strict and
has heavy penalty. Chief Lane
has given notice to the committee
that any refusal by property own
ers to clean up. will if reported to
him result in prosecution. Teams
are to be provided for hauling
away the rubbish gathered together
by property owners. A resolution
adopted at the mass meeting is as
follows:
Whereas, the City Council Of the
City CT Corvallis has set apart and
named Monday, May 20, 1906, a:
Cleaning-up day, therefore,
Be it resolved, that in the sense
} of this meeting that the business
men of the city be requested to close
their respective places of busines:
J next Monday between the hours O
: 8 a. m. and IL n. to the end that
they may join with other enterpris
ing citizens in an effort to clean uI
. and beautify the city.

we confidently believe that it marks
the beginning Of a splendid growth
in population, business, attendance
on the schools and colleges, manu-

utilities and all that tends for the
bet,erment and upbuilding Of the
community. We further believe
that it is the first link Of a system
of trolley lines that will
revolutionize rapid transit in this
section Of the state.
The Eagle reproduces above, in
celebration Of the success Of the
committee, a picture used in these
columns early in the active agita-

know that the great enterprise then
forecas.ed is now assured.
The committee held a meeting
