C. E. Brooks, Capt. At the annual meeting of the Grants Pass board of trade, held last" week, D. H. Stovall declined re-election as secretary of that or ganization. Dennis was formerly a member of the Gazette force. Siuce going to Grants Pass he has taken a prominent part in advanc ing the business interests of that city. Rev. Allen Wilson, one of the leading men of the Christian church in America, has been engaged to deliver the baccalaureatef sermon before the Oregon Agricultural Col lege next' Tune. Dr. Wilson will leave Ins home in Indianapolis about a month before commence ment exercises take place that he may spend a few weeks in Portland while out West. An evidence of the improvement in business conditions in Corvallis during the past year, is found in this item concerning postal receipts. In January, 1802, $461.50 was realized froai the sale of stamps, stamped envelopes and postal cards. The revenue derived from this source in January, 1903, amounted, to $548 61, or an increase of $87.11. Here is an increase cf 19 per cent over the sales for the same month last year.

Governor Chamberlain has ap pointed the following list of dele gates to represent Oregon at tbe inter national conference on Good Roads, which is scheduled to. take place at Detroit. Mfchiganp Febru ary 13th and 14th: J. J. Whitney, of Albany; W. E. Grace, of Baker City; P. H. D'Arcy, of Salem; J. R. Neil, of Sumpter; Ira Campbell, of Eugene; E. L. Smith, of Hood River; John H. Scott, of aalem; Geo. W, Briedwell, of Briedwell Station; H. V. Gates, of Hilisboro, and J. H. Suttlemier, of Woodburn. J. H. Edwards, of Bellfountain, this county, is now the possessor of a splendid Leicester ram from the rated flack of A. W. Smith, of Ma ple Lodge, Ont. Mr. Smith was an exhibitor of Leicesters at the inter national last month at Chicago and secured all the first premiums in the respective classes but one. The Breeders Gazette said of the exhib it of Leicester: "The showing - of Leicesters was decidedly the best of any of the. long wool breeds, the Canadian flocks deserving special commendation. . Mr. Smith showed a yearling ewe that is an exception ally fine type of the breed." R. M. Cramer is still pushing his proposition to remove the carriage factory to Eugene. He was in that city, Friday, and according to the Guard made this offer: Mr. Cramer comes to the Eugene.people and commercial Club with what we con sider a very fair proposition one requiring but small contributions from our people, especially when the interests involved are consider ed. Ho has looked about for a suitable site, and is satisfied with the old if armers' Warehouse lots at th railroad on Pearl street. If our people will donate this site and one thousand dollars required to pay cost of removal not counting cost of rebuilding Mr. Cramer will guarantee us the factory. .- Although the college year is scarcely half ended, the registra tion has reached the 5C0-mark, with a probability that there will be at least 20more students enrolled be fore next June. During the past 1 2 months there have been about 600 bludents in the Oregon Agri cultural College every: county in the state being represented. Sta tistics indicate that a very large proportion of these young people are partly or wholly self-support irig, showing conclusively that they come to this institution with a very fair knowledge of the practical side of life. And the fact that fully 85 per cent of these young people come from homes of farmers, and that a large number cf them will return to tbe farm and the work shop is conclusive evidence that technical training is destined to reach the wealth-producing classes of Oregon. THE PARENTS' MEETING. Most Successful ' Educational Meeting; Ever Held in Corvallis. One of the most successful, if not the most successful, educational meetings held ia this city for many years occurred last Saturday, We have reference to the parents' meeting arranged for by Supt. Denman. The large audience, the inter est of teachers and patrons, demonstrates how these meetings are going to be ap preciated by the parents.. While the lo cal teachers' institute did much good in awakening interest on the part of the teachers, these parents' meetings not only flccomclish this, but go still far ther. The parent now joins hands with the teacher in tbe work of improving our schools. It was a wise plan, and shows that Supt. Denman is wide-awake in' in putting into execution those things which work to the elevation of our schools when he adopted the new plan. Let the good work continue. As our readers will recall, last Satur day was one of the stormiest days of the season. The storm was blinding, aad continued most of the morning and a large portion of the afternoon. Notwith standing this, a large attendance occurr ed. Among those present were a num ber from the rural districts.'. L. N. Ed wards came from Dusty, Director Chas-. Woods and wife from district No. iO, Director George Lindeman and wife from Mountain View, Director E..J. Harring ton and Mrs. Chas. Smith from district carriage factory appeared Satur No." 93, W. T, Wyatt, president of Philo-1 ay's Eugene Register: s math, Mrs. M. H. Whitby from 'VVillam ette, were all present. The Corvallis grange was well represented by Dr. With- icombe, Messrs. Cordley, Ooote. WV E. Yatea, Mrs. Callahan, Mr. 'and Mrs Horner, J. F., Yates and wife, besides many others f - Tbe Corvallis public school furnished the following program : Recitations by Merl Spaulding, Harold Wilkins, Morris Mallow, Flocy Happersett, Edwin Fitch ; song, May McClaim; duet by Pearl and Vera Horner. The remainder of the program consisted of discussions on the following subjects: - . "School Visits Their Influence," Miss Ellen Dunlap and Mr. N. Tartar; "Good Citizenship The Home's Part," T. T. Vincent; The School's Part," Supt. G. W. Denmaa; "The Church's Part," Rev. H. A. Deck; "The Parent's Duty" J. B. Horner; "How Can the School be Improved?" Mrs. E. J. Nichols: "The Teacher's Greatest Heed," Mrs. Miunie Cramer, Miss Lena McCormick, and an address by Supt. J. H. Ackerman. The papers and addresses were pro nounced the best yet delivered at any of, the meetings heretofore held In the county. So favorably impressed was Supt. Ackerman with them that he asked that the papers be sent to the Oregon Teachers' Monthly for publication. The address of Mr. Irvine was a plain and very practical talk to our parents. He called things by their proper names and handled his subject, as well as his sub jects, without gloves. Miss McCormick impressed all with her earnestness, and sincerity. Ti T " :"--J.-".-r Supt. Adcerman's ad ti ess was full of inspiration and encouragement. He spoke of progress that had been made in the past and the many prospective bene ficial changes likely Boon to occur. After the regular program had been rendered the meeting was thrown open for remarks from" thoee desiting to speak. Short talks were made by Key. Moses and Rev. Carrick, Mrs. Chas. Smith, Miss Noble, and W. E. Yatee. Mr. .Yates invoked a lively discussion, in which a number took part. Mr. Moses seemed to strike a sympathetic chord on the part of. the teachers for they immediately moved, and it waa unanimonsly carried, that h be given a vote of thanks. His central thought was that our teachers are too poorly paid, in fact, he contended that they were the poorest paid of all pro fessiens ; if a teacher followed it long enough he would not have money suffic ient to pay his fare from one district to another. . . He welcomed tLe time - when they would be paid in commensurate with the service rendered. The following resolu tion was read and unanimously carried : "That it is the sentiment of this insti tute that these meetings of the teacher and parent held under the direction of the county school superintendent in connection with the Granges f the county should receive the hearty support and .co-operation of friends of education in general." - , The basket dinner which occurred dur ing tbe noon hour was one o( tbe treats of the day. The grangers, parents, teachers and friends brought baskets filled with the choicest of things. - Alii nnited in having a regular old-fashioned basket dinner. The dinner was a suc cess in every sense of the word. This was the first time in many years that our school patrons met in such a manner. It is the intention of our county superin tendent to hold a parents' meeting from now on until schools close iu the spring:. The 'places selected for meetings are, Fairmount, Philomath, Bellfountain, Kings Valley and Alsea. -The next meeting occurs in Fairmount on the third Saturday of February. , Chicago Talks of Corvallis. A conservative business '-'man, lately returned to Polk from an eight months' sojourn in Chica go, is firmly convinced that farms in Polk county are to ar preciate in yalue in the very near future, owing to the Immi gration that is Oregon bound from the East. Tbii gentleman asserts that Corvallis , is a central point that is much talked of by prospective home seekers in Chi cago. Why? Simply because Corvallis has been for a long time alive to the fact that these people were coming and has pre pared and distributed literature setting forth the advantages and resources of Benton county.-In-depen lence Enterprise If Corvallis is attracting the attention in Chicago, which the above item indicates, the fact is probably due to the efforts of Mr. Wallis Nasby now in that city: Mr. C. E. Woodson pro vided Mr. Nash with what liter ature, concerning this section, he could secure aud that gentle- man is, no doubt, industrious in behalf of Benton county. If the 50,000 pamphlets that were to be prepared- and: sent? to the Harriman - Bureau from this county, were in circulation, Cor vallis would be attracting the attention of people outside of Chicago. The committee hav ing this matter in charge should act quickly If they 4ntend to act at all. Cannot Remove Factory. The following interview with Mr. E. C. Smith, concerning the - .1 nave aeciaea tojgo into tne business with Mr. Cramer, and pending the closing ' of a deal whereby the establishment is to be moved "to this city we will proceed at once to put up 200 rigs at Corvallis this summer. 'The transfer ot the business to Eugene could not be made in time to accomplish anything this .year and for that reason the sunf mer's product of rigs will be turned out at Corvallis but .Will bear the stamp as manufactured at Eugene.' : j "Mr. Smith informs us; that they have already taken orders for a number of rigs to be special-' ly constructed and that they will experience no trouble in dispos ing of 200 buggies and carriages and as many more as thev can construct during tne season.?' Mr. Smith arrived ia Corvallis yesterday to arrange for imme diate work on the rigs, and Mr. Cramer will leave for the Eastx in a few days to purchase neces sary stock. - - Mr. Hayden's Flume Bill. Representative. Havden's bill to authorize . flumes -pn.. county roads passed, th eVhouseilas t ,i Fr i- t day without difficulty. -' . Mr. Ganet opposed the bill. He said there was a great deal of objection to franchises for loco motives on county roads and he thought flumes more objectiona ble than locomotives. . Mr. Hayden said there was no danger ot abuse from'r the privi lege because franchises were to be granted only at the direction of the county courts . . ' 'Why make this law apply to the whole state?" said.Mrv Kay. Mr. Jones, of Lincoln, thought the bill a good one. It "was to enable lumber to be brought to railroads and shipping points. Shipment over wagon' roads was impossible. Mr. Purdy said the same emer gency existed in . Washington county. He did not see how the people would be unduly incon venienced. Construction of the flumes was to be left to" the regu lation of the county courts .But Mr. Hayden overcame all these objections. He explained that the bill was needed in Ben ton county; in - order' to enable timber to be brought to places where it could be milled or trans ported. Wagon roads were , in adequate. In the particular trase in which an emergency existed a timber company had secured the rights of way through private land for its flumes, but desired access to county roads at several places. 1 .. - The particular case for which Mr. Hayden wishes to provide, is the right of way for a flume for a short distance along the Alsea Philomath road, particulars of which appeared recently in the Gazette.;. . There seems to be no reason why this bill should not become a law. Provision is made al ready for the construction of log ging ; or skid roads - in or upon county roads, and these are far more objectionable than a lumber flume could be. During the session of 1899 an act was passed authorizing the county court of a county to grant the petition of a person or com pany engaged in logging to con struct and . maintain logging or skid roads in or upon county roads, or roads of public ease ment, at the expense of the peti tioner,: This law should "have included lumber flumes. Additional Local. - The illustrated lecture on the Lewis & Clark Expedition, given by Miss Wolfe at the College Armory, Friday evening, was listened to by a large audience. The lecture is or value as an advertisement for the 1905 fair, and is an interesting chapter in the early history of Ore gon. -; Miss SbirJey and her excelk-n company began .their week's en gagement at the Opera House last night, by presenting "The Dea con's Daughter." Miss Shirley is deservedly popular, with Corvallis play-goers, and there is no doubt that she will play to crowded houses every night during her en gagement. Last fall, W. W. Crawford, who lives east of Corvallis in Linn coun ty, sold a sow and her litter of sev en eight-month-old pigs for $108. We venture the assertion that no such profit can be made out of any other thing the farmer raises. Talk abeut profit on the money invested 1 The trusts can't make such a show ing. - ; 1 An exceedingly novel social event took place at Fisher's hall last Saturday evening. Under the name of "A Chinese New Year Ball," Misses Gatch, IHolgate and Fisher arranged an entertainment for their friends that proved to be decidedly unique and enjoyable. The hall was decorated with Chi nese fans and cards, and over 100 Chinese lanterns furnished light. Misses Gatch, Holgate and Fisher appeared in costumes appropriate to the occasion, and two little ladies dressed in Japanese costume served the guests with refreshments. 1. The O. A. C. basketball team of men met its first defeat of the sea- . m - 1 1 son at tne armory Friday nignt. The boys from Dallas college won by a sco.'e of 21 to 17. It was any body's game up to the last' minute of play. O. A. C. made the" first basket, . Dallas soon earned two points, and led at the end of the first half by a score of 8 to 7. Early in the second half, O. A. C- took the lead, but the visitors a grain went to the front and won. Few fouls were called, each team making but one point from this source. The Dallas boys play a beautiful game, and' are all perfect gentlemen. The officials gave excellent satisfaction. - -CL-H. StewartTbf Albany," circu lated in this city on Wednesday a petition asking that the county ac cept the Albany bridge and keep it up hereafter the same as other county bridges. The petition was generally signed by the taxpayers of the city. The plan is for Albany to turn the bridge over to the coun ty free from debt. This is a reason able and fair proposition in view of the fact that Albany and vicinity pay a very large part of the taxes of the county, and thus bear a large portion of the cost of all bridges in the county. It seems fair and just that the rest of the county should give to Albany the benefit of the protection that all enjoy. It is not likely that any considerable portion of our people will oppose the plan. Express-Advance. "The Poetry of tke Orange."
