tended the goat kept in our sister
city. Many have been the cour-
tesies Corvallis Elks have enjoy
at the hands OF their brothers in
Albany and in order to show
their appreciation of these kind
n=sses and evidence good will the
Corvallis contingent kept open
house Friday evening and proved
themselves the best OF hosts.
Just how many came over
from Albany is hard to say, re.
port having il 100 while Supt.
Denman made the public state
ment that he counted 1000. It
is safe to say that there were be-
t Neen the two numbers. There
was a special train for them any
way and to their credit they were
quite we'll accompanied by lad
les. The contingent was met at
the depot by local committee Of
Elks, the college band, and num-
erous citizens and escorted up
town and to the opera house
where splendid program was
given. s.
Fred Dawson, of Albany, acted
as chairman and first introduced
the male q.artette composed of
Prof. Fulton, A. Bradley, John
F. Allen and B. w. johnson.
The quartette was recalled voci-

Der. Next Was introduced Supt.
|G. w. Denman, who made the
address of welcome. 1t was GER
tainly happy in vein from the
ovation given our school super
intendent there remains no doubt
OF his having ably fulfilled his
mission.
Arthur Boquet sang a number
and was recalled, but bowed his
thanks. Hon. J. K. Weather

in behalf of the Albany people.
Mr.. Weatherford gave quite bit
of history of the order in the
course OF his remarks and spoke
to a purpose. He certainly
splendidly represented the AL
bany Elks.

it and concludes to die on short
notice. Miss Danneman era ks
numerous eggs On Collie's brow
and drops the contents down his
throat as an antidote. Finally
an over-ripe egg brings about the
discovery that ne is not poisoned.
George Rolf, of Albany, was
on the program for a song, but
he sang so we'll that the audience
forced him to sing three and
then wanted more. This gives
an idea of his vocal ability. He
was followed by the male quar-

money going and coming.
Collie Cathey played a from
