Corvallis is going to have a
new Union Station. It will prob
ably be built of concrete and will
be about the size of the one at
Albany and the one on the west
side at Portland. The new build
ing will stand a little north and
ast of the present structure, this
frame building being moved far
to the rear and used as a freight
house. The new station may be
fcuilt before spring, and is certain
to be built then if it is found im
possible to get to the work be
fore. So says an official of the j
S. P. who is in a position to know
what he is talking about.
Supt. O'Brien and party were
in this city last week, and at
that time enough was learned to
make this latest assurance sound
"'Tik'e'gosp'er ruth.! " Mr. O'Brien
looked over the ground carefully,
measurements were taken and
suggestions made for the altera
tion of a general plan already
marked out.
Have Faith in Corvallis
As near as could be learned,
Mr. O'Brien is greatly impressed
with the need of Corvallis. He
and other officials are convinced
that the traffic here has outgrown
present buildings and equipment,
and are no less certain that at the
present rate of growth Corvallis
is going to be quite a fair-sized
city in a short time. One of the
officials was frank enough to say
that in his opinion two years
would give Corvallis a larger pop
illation than Albany. While Cor
vallis people have never had the
slightest doubt of this, most peo
ple unfamiliar with -our unpre
cedented growth in recent months
have not been ready to acknow
ledge such a possibility. Consid
ering there is now but a differ
ence of 100 in favor of Albany,
it will hardly require two years
to lay the Hub City, with its 26
trains daily, on the top shelf.
Good Depot With Paak
The new depot will cost abou
$20, 000. The Albany station is a
$16,000 structure, the final cost
of which, with outside improve
ments, ran up to about $20,000.

Solicitors will visit the homes of
this city and the ladies are urged
to sign up for the number

It has been arranged that the
visitors will be permitted to get
their evening meals at the hotels
and restaurants, then go to the
Commercial Club rooms, where
an informal reception will beheld,
and from there the guests will be
distributed to the various homes
open to them. No other arrange

It is very necessary that the

many homes will offer bed and

to give solicitors a definite ans
