 The Southern Senators surely would have held up the Immigration bill on that account except for the fact that more than one Republican leader, ap- parently speaking by the authority Of the President assured them the law would be SO interpreted as to leave the States entirely free to do as they had been doing. although individuals and corporations would be forbidden to bring in immigrants under promise of employment.

TUsCUMBIA STOCK LAW.
Council Passes Measure Which May he
 Contested. 1. 5i Sod

Tuscumbia, Oct. s.-(Special. )--The City Council of Tuscumbia went on record last night as being unanimous- ly in favor of a stock law for this city, and an ordinance was passed pre- venting all cows, mules. horses and stock generally from running at large on the streets of Tuscumbia-
 The Council went further. and pass ed an ordinance requiring a tax on dogs, $1 for males and $3 for females.
 It will be remembered that Sheffie d's City Council had a lively controversy over the question of prohibiting stock on the streets of that city, several months ago, but the ordinance was never effective. as there is a statute regulating this question, and providing that the stock law does not apply to cities or towns of less than 5000 pop ulation. The census of Shefiield ss taken by the school board gave Shelf field over 5000. but the last Govern ment census only showed S,333, and the latter was the basis.
 It is not known whether the con- stitutionality of the Tuscumbia ordt- nance will be tested, but in the light of Shefield's experience it is probable that 1t will.

MAKES PECULIAR THREAT.
In Endless Chain Letter-CorVal=
lisiteS Receive Them.

An anonymous, endless chain
letter has made its appearance in
Corvallis the past few days, and
those who have seen the missives
are speculating as to what the
object of the writer can be in
starting such a scheme, as there
is apparently nothing to be gain
ed in the matter.
Bishop Lawrence, mentioned
as the author of the prayer, has
denied through the public press
having had anything to do with
the prayer, which brands the
letter as fraud in that respect,
at least.
Corvallis people who have re-
ceived the communications have
paid no heed to them and it is
not likely that anyone will lose
any sleep through fear of the
"calamity" that is threatened in
the letter. Ia full the endless
chain affair reads:
Dear Friend:-I am sending
you a prayer with the request te
be sent to nine people. Please
do not break the chain.
o! Lord Jesus Christ, we i'm

Celebrated Anniversary.
In Splendid Style-Masons of
Corvallis.

The Masons celebrated the 5oth
anniversary OF their organization
in this city, Tuesday night, in a
manner hene6tting such an i'm
portant OCCASION. Invitations
had been sent out to several hun
dred friends and about $50 guests
responded. The Masonic temple
was frightened and beauti6ed by
the skillfui use Of yellow and
green crepe paper and mistletoe,
and in the banquet room the
tables were as artlstieally arrang-
ed as good taste and dainty fem
mime touches could arrange them.
The program was opened with
a number by the male quartetle,
composed of B. w. johnson,
Prof. Fulton, John Allen and
Prot. Bradley; the address of well
come was given in a pleasing
manner by Prof. Cordley, who
was also IN charge OF the meeting.
Mrs. E. R. Lake gave a vocal
solo that was exceptionally good,
and Z. H. Davis followed with a
history Of the local lodge, from its
organization to the present time.

and J. M. Hodson, of Portland

The statement is now made on
good authority that the ties,
rails and all building materials
are now purchased for the ex-
tension of the Corvallis & East

with some transcontinental line
on the eastern border OF Oregon.
The statement also announces
that work will certainly be COM

The statement, coming from a
man i'll close touch with the c.
& E., that the ties, rails, ETC.,
are purchased for the extension of
that road will be good news to
the people of Oregon. Many pin
their faith on the c. & E. and it
is admitted by all that such a
line would be the best possible
one for this state as it would give
direct connection with Pacific
