Tommy says "that set tles it," and he is glad he made up his mind to wear his long pants when he went to Portland. Ashland will soon be a "dry" town and nearly a score of saloons will be out of business, while Grants Pass has closed all its gambling games by order of the mayor. The sporting fraternity of Southern Ore gon are like the goat on the dessert they don't know where they are.

The above should have been in our last issue, but the copy was accidentally overlooked. The Independence Enterprise has changed its name and is now head ed the West Side Enterprise. The new editor, Walter Lyons, devotes a page to spicy editorials. This is a big improvement, as a country paper without an editorial column look 8 as bare as a ship without a sail. The children of our city were delighted on . awaking Monday morning to find the ground cov ered with a thin white mantle of enow. Before noon arrived, how ever, the sun was brightly shining, and the Enow was fast disappearing. But such is the usual fate of Ore gon snow storms.

The Daily Coast Mail at Marsh field put out an elaborate specia illustrated number. It ' sets forth the advantages of Coos county in good style, and is an edition any office should be proud to turn out. Manager Wilson, of the Opera House, has made arrangements to have a nine-piece orchestra at the play tonight. Thus there will be no chance for the audience to be come restless and no tiresome waits between acts. Major Hardin was one of the for tunate ones who sat down at the well-filled board of the Shriners in Portland, on Saturday evening last. The other boys say his speech was the best of the evening. He re turned on Sanday. While the authorities are using the moral broom with such vigor in cleansing the city of its miqui ties we would suggest that the cur few ordinance be enforced. Send the youngsters home when the cur- ew rings then they will not be bund in these "dens of vice" at all times of the night.

The following item comeB from a Kings Valley writer: On Sun day, January 8, a jam of logs con taining about 400,000 feet formed a short distance below the Luckia mute bridge in Kings Valley. A longlog reached across the river caus ing a jam. Under the direction of L. G. Price the log was cut letting the others pass on down the river, thus putting an end to the amusement, and anxiety for the bridge of a few citizens who had gathered on the bank. All citizens are interested in the meeting of the Firemen to be held in the City Hall on Wednesday evening of this week. Bob Johnson has two papers for which he is ob taining signatures. One of men who will take an active part and become members of the company, and the other of those who sympa thize with them and will do all in their power to help on the organi zation. Let there be a good turn out, as this is a matter . of more than ordinary interest to every property owner in the city. As an index to the good business done in Corvallis during the last year, one has only to look at the bustle around the Wells-Fargo Co's express and telegraph offices. The month of December was the record month in the amount of goods-sent and received, and money received and paid. It capped any other month in the history of the office by over $200. Under the efficient management of C. L. Hays the large extra business was disposed of m a manner that met the ap proval of all patrons. The money order business averaged nearly one thousand dollars per month for the year, netting over $10,000 for 1903 At a meeting of the Corvallis Gun Club yesterday it was decided to hold a shooting tournament on the 22nd of February, open to Benton county sportsmen. The Club has leased grounds on the flat in the southern part of town and the tour nament will be given to help de fray the expenses of erecting a proper shooting stand, blinds for traps and- ware rooms for targets and traps. Messrs. Currin, Ren nie, Zeis and Berry were appointed as building committee. Messrs. Burnett, Emery, Yates and Calla han as tournament committee and other members of the Club on the invitation and other committees necessary to make the proposed meet a success.

B. W. JOHWOH, P. M. No more romantic spot can be bund than the vales of Arkansas. The scenes of "Sandy ; Bottom" nestle in these . folklore hills and the location of the play admits of superior opportunities in the way of scenic display. It woos you to : 'Come, mingle with the back-wood folks Where might and and right is law, In quaint eld Sandy Bottom, In the south of Arkansaw." And listen to the mountain quail, In the grove of young papaw, Whistling to his heart's delight, In the sunny hills of Arkansaw. 'There mocking birds sing sweetest, And blackberries grow the ripest, Evening stars shine brightest, At bandy Bottom. ' . The motif of the play deals with the good old times in the Sunny South, with darkies, aughter, music, sweet love story. The company presenting this play at the Opera House tonight were engaged for their adaptabil ity in portraying the Opie Read character of the South. They are from Chicago and carry with them their own special scenery for each of the four acts. Tick ets 50 cents for reserved seats. Annual Meeting Great Eastern. $ Men' if $ and Boys' wear.

A few weeks ago we published a letter fiom U. B. Vogle, a former Corvallisite, but now residing at Lompoc, California, in which he wrote that they have had no rain for ten months. He again writes as follows: "It still remains dry in Southern California. The feed for stock is soshort that cattle eat more dirt and grit than grass, and the consequences are a disease from which many are dying. The Cli mate is delightful. The sky, a beautiful azure, is a eight to be hold. Clouds are ot more interest than tourists. When one comes up all predict and are disappointed. The last cloud was seen going north at a terrific rate. By getting bear ings on it a few hour later, it was located over Mary's peak in Oregon."
