The past few days have been
trying ones for Corvallis, al
though conditions here have been
more favorable than in many
sections elsewhere, ;cording to
newspaper dispatches.
The coolest weather experien-
ced in years has prevailed and
the results have been quite trying
to the Webfoo.er who is not ac-
customed to -uch conditions.
From one end of town to the
other there has been a cry for
plumbers, as water pipes have
been frozen and bursted and from
dawn until dark there has beer a
call for plum bing repairs. These
calls have been attended to as
rapidly as possible, but even then
much inconvenience has been ex-
periencsd and people have. felt
tina: they were justified in max
ing a vigorous "klck' about the

With wood already scarce in
town and almost impossible te

appropriation OF 81, 200, 900 pro-
vides only for the participation of

$50, 900; Alaska, $3.50, 900; Ha-
waii, $50, 900; PHILIPPINE Islands,
500, 900.
Although the bill has been in
troduced nothing further can be
accomplished until the state OF
Washington has shown Its good
faith in the exposition by max
ing liberal appropriation for It's
participation. Senator Piles ane
his colleagues have urged thai
the state legislature act upon the
exposition bill that will be in
troduced at the forthcoming ses'
sion as quickly as possible Sc
that the work at Washington car

also essential for the State o
Washington to make its appro

take some action, in order for the
deposition management to secure
appropriations from the diferen
states that have their Legislative
meetings this winter.
The bill provides for a govern
ment board composed of the sec
retaries of war, interior and treas
ury which will have general sup
ervision over all the govern
ment's representation. Nc
charge for exhibit space will be
made, and the states and foreigl
countries which do not erec

space in the general exhibit pal
aces.

subject is shown by the utter
ances of Senator Whealdon of
Wasco, who said:
"All Eastern Oregon people
hrmly believe in open rivers
The tolls now being collected at
the Oregon City locks are un-
questionably a burden on river
shipping, and we are in favor of
making the locks free.
Il believe 1 am expressing the
sentiment OF the entire Eastern
Oregon delegation when I say
this. While the more direct
benefit from the purchase by the
government of the Oregon City
locks would accrue to the people
of the Willamette Valley, we re.
member that they have been very
generous in providing for our
needs at Cello, and certainly will
be favorably inclined to this pro-
|ject.
I'VE think that it is the pro-
vince Of the national government
to acquire these locks, but if this
should not be done, we would
favor their purchase by the state
or the adoption of any other
measures to secure free open
river"

direction of Carroll E johnson

Tuesday nights was a decided
''hit" and has been highly spok-

! few days for preparation had
been given, but no hitch occurred
in CARRYING out the various fea-
lures and there were no mistakes
by the participants, which in it.
self is something worthy of not
ice.
All the business houses had
creditable displays and the young
ladies evinced good taste in the
selection of their costumes.
Many ludicrous features were
introduced. as for instance. Mrs.
iE. F. Pernot carried a little
white pig in her arms and sang a
ditty about "When little pigs be-
gin to hv." She represented
Swingler & Cady's butcher shop.
Hout & Jones were represented
by Mrs. John Allen, who led a
little dog by string, carried a
sausage grinder with which she
ground sausage and sang "Oh
where. oh where is my little dog
gomez" Miss Mary Nolan, dress
ed in blue print dress and sun
bonnet, led in a wonderful brin-
die COW made of saw horse and
canvass. 1t wore a bell and bore
a sign "Kaupisch's Creamery
Cow"
The college girls sextette
pleased the audience, Miss Nellie
Marvin as representative of the
Ccfey studio had a ''catchy"
song and dance, Miss Gertie Nc
Bee was pleasing in the "swing
song" and Miss Carrie Dame
man as s'painless dentist" and
Mrs. H. w. Kaupisch as a ''lady
barber" brought down the house.
One of the characters most
discussed was Miss Edith Ready
as the huntress, representing M.

store. With a rife she appeared
in full hunting costume, and
fred three shots into the scenery,
each time bringing down china
pheasant from some high and un-
seen perch.

SWEET SINGERS FOR OREGON.
Request Made of Corvaliisites -
The Plan.

When the Ia SeTner mas spent
enough time in Oregon to have
,ecome accustomed to the mild
climate, luscious fruits, attractive
>ceperv and numerous other good
points. his attention finally is at
tracted to the scarcity of song
i ds as compared to the midd!e
and eastern states. There, on
>prlng morning, the air IS illled
with The melody OF many sweet
sonester's early carol, but in Ore
gon comparatively little music OF
this sort is heard.
This fact has byen so much re-
gretted by bird lovers generally
that action has at last been taken
towards efect:ng a change in
conditions in Oregon. B. w.
Johnson is the recipient of a let
ter that may lead to some action
being taken in this section.
With so many of the sporting
fraternity and bird lovers here it
would seem an easy matter to
form the sort of club sugy ested
in the letter to Mr.. johnson,
which in full reads as follows:
Portland, Oregon,
Dec. 2e.h, 1906.
Dear Sir:
A club for the in
PRODUCTION into Oregon OF useful
European and American song
birds has been formed here. The
song birds so far imported and
liberated here by the Club has
resulted very satisfactorily. The
officers of the Club are: B. Fal-
lows, President; Ralph Hoyt,
treasurer and c. F. Pfuger, Sec
retary.
In order to give all bird lovers
in Oregon an opportunity to par
ticipate in this purlic spirited en-
terprise of stocking the State OF
Oregon with these lovely song
birds, and as the aim is now to
introduce the English and Ger
man Sky1arks into Oregon, in all
the different localities, I most re-
spectfully suggest to you to start
song bird Club there at your
place for the introduction of Sky
larks.
Your Club will get the Sky
larks at cost price, to-wit: $1-65
per pair, exclusive of expressage
from New York to Portland, Ore
gon, which will amount to about
IS cents per pair.
After the Skylarks have ar1iv-
ed in the Spring or Fall of 1907
the number of pairs of birds or
dered by your Club will be for
warded to you from here, and
your Club members can liberate
them upon your open fields and
meadows there.
The loss of b rds from New
York to Portland, Oregon, is but
very trifling, but each Club or.
dering has to stand its propjr.
tionate share o, loss, if any.
TIE song of the Ssylark is ex.
ceedingly agreeable, no biro
sings so continuously and with
more method and melody; there
is An overture performed, vivace
cresendo in various notes of the
scale, when descending he grad.
uallv ceases to sing with sink.
ing of the strains before the fna
close, and he drops with the vel.
ocity of an arrow to the ground
Now if you and your Club will
l help in this laudable enterprise
of stocking our State with thess
! lovely song birds, now is the
time to do it.
| Try and interest all lovers o
song-biIds there and get them t,
join your Soag-blrd Climb, ane
then make your order according
lily tor as many pairs of Skvlark
as you desire, to the undersi9n
ed.
Yours respectfully,
c. F. PFLUGER,
iiSecretary of the Song-bird Club
Portland, Oregon.

BLOOD FLOWS
ON WATERFRONT
ASS-KNUCKLES AND LUCKY
BONE, JAG-JUICE AND SMALL
RIOT-RESERVES CALLED OUT

There was something of a small riot
this morning at the foot of Nuuanu
street, on the waterfront, when four
sailors who had signed aboard the ship
Erskine NJ. Phelps, Captain Graham,
got into a scrap among themselves and
sought to involve various others loung-
ing in the vicinity.
Waterfront officer Reeves, seeing that
the situation was serious secured sew
eral specials from the department and
an attack was made on the fighters
with the result that the two worst
ones We're captured before any lives
were lost and taken to the station.
Thpse arrested were somewhat the
worse for wear and had taken freely Of
ante-sailing jag-juice. Two, being al
most sober, escaped and managed to
get aboard the Phelps, to which there
was no possible objection since the
Phelps was preparing to sail and the
town would be rid of such objection
able characters.
The gentlemen taken to the station
were John Oleson and Hubert Nuken.
They had ornamented each others faces
with sundry tears, knocks and scratch
es. Nuken was welding brass-knuckles
with which he cut the others face
and Oleson had between his shut fin
gers bone, using it as a weapon on
Nuken's map This bone, says Ole

IMPORTANT CASH NOW ON
BEFORE J.. s. COMMISSIONER
FEDERAL AUTHORITIES GOING QUESTION THE JAPA
NEsE COMING HERE FROM THE ORIENT VIEW
LATER GOING TO THE MAINLAND-PERJuRY CASE IS BEING
xzIIEARD

Quite an important hearing was be-
fore u. S. Commissioner Hatch this
morning. Two Japanese Kinosuki va
mamoto and Motosuki Yamamoto, were
charged with perjury They were Jap
anese held up from the last Oriental
steamer by the immigration authori-
ties. The men claimed that they had
come here to work, but the authorities
had reason to believe that they were
committing perjury when they made
such statement, because evidence Sc
cured went to show that both men were
intending to later continue to the main
land. They had $40 each. Knowing
that there is a demand for labor here
and that the man could secure employ
ment promptly, the authorities saw no
occasion to apprehend that the pair
would become public charges, but if
the Japanese, possessed of only 500 in
tended to go to the mainland later on
in search of employment, there was
reason for apprehension that they
would become public charges.
AS a matter of fact the present case
| is a part of a definite intention of the
mainland authorities to put check to
