J)R. JOHNSON ADVISES COUNTY TO
MAKE DISPLAY AT SEATTLE
SEPT. OFFERS OPPORTUNITY
Corvallis Man, Just From Fair, Says a
Few Things About Oregon Exhibit
and Tells Public What He Thinks
Would Be Profitable Investment
"Corvallis and Benton county
could not do a better thing right
now than to send an exhibit of-
fruit and vegetables to the Ore
gon building at the Seattle fair,"
says Dr. Wm. Johnson who has
just returned from a trip through
the Northwest and " Canada.
"There is nothing in the Oregon
building beside which Benton
county fruit and vegetables
would not loom up handsomely
and just now everything there is
Eugene and Marion county. Eu
gene pictures are" there that
bathing girl, rainfall stunt at Eu
gene and one sees them at every
turn. Then he runs into a Eu
.gene man talking Lane county to
' beat the band. When he gets'
away from -Warren, . lie; bumps
into the Marion : county man.
. These people not only talk their
.own counties, but if occasion of-
-..lexis may put in a gentle KnocK
at Benton, which Warren claims
was awarded its blue ribbons
through favoritism. We have
nothing there to show and of
course the knock goes. , Septem
ber will be the best month at the
fair, and I can not but believe
. that a Benton county exhibit
there this month would more
than tiav fni itself TVma m
tinued Dr. Johnson'. "
A General Impression
Speaking of the Seattle1 fair in
general, Dr. Johnson agrees with
most in the statement that it is
more compact and more beautiful
from the point of landscape gar
dening. However, the- natural
setting is not so satisfactory as
the fair atPortlarid." He thinks
the display of machinery not
-comparable to that at Portland.

looked crOodto him and hp fonnrl

exhibit of bottled fruits and vege

its magnified form.
Bought Canadian Land
Dr. Johnson and John A Jack
son, a Portlander who will locate
here shortly, went up to Calgary
to look at v cheap , lands there.

FALL AND WINTER
MILLINERY STYLES
Just a few words about the fall and
winter styles in millinery. -
. They were never more diversified as
to color and shapes. There is, in the
more subdued modes, a soft blending of
harmonious color, - while the striking
and daring styles are not lacking in
that taste which gives to millinery an
art peculiarly its own. -"y--

CITY WILL PAY FIFTEEN PER
Either Bithulithic or Hassam to Be Used
to Be Assessed For This Improvement-- Citizens Have Opportunity to
Protest On September 24 -If No HitcU Develops Paving May Be Com
menced About First or Tenth of October -'
In special .session last night
the Corvallis city council approv
ed plans and specifications for
the paving of Second street from
the Occidental Mill to "A".
street, and set Sept. 24 as the
time for hearing objections to
said proposed improvement. -
The plans are for bitulithic or
Hassam paving, full , width of
street, and the cost of same is to
be assessed against all proDertv'
peculiarly or specifically benefit
ed by such paying. The reso
lution just passed . provides that
only the .. property abutting
Second street shall be assessed,
but this will probably be changed
to include all of the block on
either side of the street, the
east side' of ' Third and west
BMe"trf"FirsViemg assessed at 'a
minimum, or course. 1
It is also proposed to nave
Jackson, Monroe, Madison " and
Jefferson one block west of
Second, this being provided for
in ,the resolution,, and the whole
forming "Paving District No.l."
City Will Pay
After discussing4" this matter
inforniaUv,for weeks, the coun
cil took official action last night
and declared in favor of the city
paying 15 per cent of the total
cost of paving any and all streets.
1 he question as to whether prop
erty owners should paye the in
tersections was threshed out at
various times;" and is finally
settled as stated. The city does
not recognize intersections in
anyway; it figures out the total
cost of . the paving from the
Occidental mill to 'A' street,
assesses the property owners for
85 per cent of the cost and
charges the' remaining 15 per
cent against the city, '
Some Objection. ,
It is said that there will be at
least: slight objections to the
paving , of the block below
Washington ' street.7 At the
meeting last night, Councilman
Irvine suggested that the Occi
dental mill ,be permited to retain
its board street, ' rather than
pave, but the "council showed no
disposition to "acquiesce.
The Hoyts at the Palace theater last
night appeared in an entirely new pro
gram consisting of slack wire walking
and shooting.; Mr. Hoyt opened the
vaudeville part with a "silly kid" stunt
and performed several tricks on wire.
It is evident that he' has sometime or
other been a good one at this form of
entertainment, but as he explained to
his audience last night, he is now too
heavy to do all his tricks. However,
he did several good ..ones, . the. donning
of a suit while on the wire being ex
tremely difficult. Espanita appeared

The jentertainment afforded by these
cleve people, last night was. the best
program they have appeared in here,
and it should fill the house to capacity
tonight. V
' The , moving pictures .are above the
average, too, the film '.'Before the

industry is growing rapidly in
this state and a great many vis

fact and intend to show to the
world that Oregon can produce
poultry the equal of any in the
