ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT
OF G. A. II. AT CORVALLIS

Corvallis, Ore, June 3.-Captain
Apperson, department commander
has pressed the button and the 27th
annual encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic is under way
This morning the time was largely
spent in securing accommodations for
the old vets. This is quite a prob
lem for the local committee, as there
are already over 500 old soldiers in
town.
The executive committee met this
morning and Mrs. Jennie Higgins
from Eugene, president of the Wom-
ans Relief Corps, has organized the
ladies for the session. All of the bust.
ness houses and most of the homes
are decorated.
The old soldiers are seen on every
corner, reviving pleasant memories
with comrades. One Of the touching
features of the day was when the
Ashland veterans came in on the noon
train and marched through the town
headed by their fife and drum corps,
f. e, White, Jess Adams, Charley
Busch, ]. W. Miles and Charley Ger
ner rendered the martial airs in a
manner that brought memories of the
camp and battlefield to their COM
rades. The encampment convened at
2:SO today. The evening program
will be the reception at the opera
house.

WANT MAIL CARRIERS
FOR RURAL ROUTES

1t is the purpose of the civil service
commission to hold a rural carrier ex-
animation in Pendleton, oregon, June
26, 1909. In order that register OF
eligibles may be established at this
office it is desired that all who wish to
take the examination secure applica-
tion blanks and pamphlets of informa-
tion Immediately. These can be had by
applying to Clyde L. Finch, secretary
of the civil service commission, at
Pendleton postoffice, or to j. T..
Brown, postmaster.
The department intends to establish
a rural route out of Pendleton in the
near future and the carrier will be
selected for this route from the per-
sons who take this examination.
So far there have been no applica-
tlons for the position of carrier on
the Pend1eton route and as the appli-
cants must be on file in the Washing
ton office by June 16, it is evident
that someone had better hurry.

cause of this seems to be due to early
mistakes in locating roads on the lines
laid out. There are many places where
roads have evidently been laid out on
straight lines, but to make work less
have been curved around slough or
by mistake have been worked one side
of line, enough in many cases to COM
pei one man to furnish all of the public
highway, and make an unsightly crook
in the road. In these communities
we find land neglected by buyers, while
in other localities no better land is
selling at fifty, seventy-five and even
one hundred dollars per acre. 1t would
perhaps cost little to straighten out
these crooks but the cost would be very
small in comparison with the value of
the improvement. 1t would seem
that a little interest in this matter
by the taxpayers and little judicious
use of a part of the township funds by
township supervisors would be well

the MAN TAMMAhY WANTS

George Jordan Battle, one of New
York's most prominent attorneys and
Tammany candidate for district attor
ney of New York county, was born in
North Carolina fortyone years ago to-
day. His great great grandfather, Eli
sha Battle, was a member of the fam
Gus convention which refused on be-
half of the state, to accept the federal
constitution, and his maternal grand
father, Joseph John Daniel, was for a
time Judge of the supreme court of
North Carolina.
As youngster he was sort of a
boy wonder. He attended so many
sounds like the muster roll of the Con-
federate states. He was admitted to
the University of North Carolina at
the age of thirteen by a special dis
pensation. He rollicked through two
or three others, and came to New.
York in 1890, to begin Immediately
practicing at the law. His target work
was excellent, too, for a little later on
he managed to get on the counsel list
of half dozen of the sensational
criminal trials which have startled New
York
He was assistant district attorney
under Delaney Nicholl and his first
work in the district attorneys office
was in the bureau of appeals, where he
assisted in the preparation of the
briefs in the cases against Carlyle
Harris and Robert w. Buchanan. Later
he was placed in charge of the bureau
of indictments. In 1897 he withdrew
form the district attorneys office to
take up the practice of law.
The prominent law cases with
which Mr.. Battle has been connected
are the Moineux trial, the Patrick
trial and the Carl Fischer-Hanse
trial. He also was associated with
James w. Osborne in the special
prosecution of the so-called Ice Trust
by Attorney General Jackson. Mr..
Battle is member of the Bar asso-
citation, the Southern society, the

and the Seneca, Calumet and Manhat

EXPENSIVE FIRE AT CEYLON.
Fifteen Horses Perish in Livery Barn;
Other Property Destroyed

Fire destroyed considerable property
at Ceylon Thursday night. The fire
originated in the livery barn of Plum
mer and Alton.
The alarm was given and in a
brief space of time the fremen and
citizens assembled to do what they
could. The flames within a minute
completely enveloped the barn and
soon caught in Elmer Whistles black
smith shop. The barn and the shop
were soon reduced to ashes.
There was horrible feature to
the disaster which made strong men
sick to witness. Fifteen horses were
in the barn and all persisted in the
flames. Only two or three buggies were
saved from the barn; everything else
was total loss. Fourteen of the
horses we're the property of PlummeI
& Alton, and one belonged to the
Fairmont Telephone company, which
with the buggy, also burned, was worth
5000. &C."
The loss of Plummer & Alton is
about SZ,OOO, on which they carried
$1,000 insurance.
The barn was owned by Milo Tour
tellotte of Sherburn and was worth
about $4,000. We understand it was
partially insured.
Mr.. Whistles shop was worth $1,000
and he had in it $1,000 worth of
materials. His insurance was only
$500. '.''.'
A dwelling house standing only a
few feet from the barn was saved
though pretty badly 'scorched, which
speaks well for the firemen and the
water system of Ceylon.
There was considerable hay in the
barn which caused the flames to
spread rapidly. The cause of the fire
is not known.
