Whether this . so-called "Housekeeper" is of the masculine or . feminine gen der " I know not, but have my private opinion. But as "House keeper" is supposed by some to be of the latter and purports to J le sailing under that banner we will treat her as such. Vege tables, ' Jump-jawed cattle, and dressmakers is her text Quite an article could be written from -any of the above- subjects. The ' gist of the above mentioned ar ticle from a detective stand-point . is to increase the number bf ads years. The tide of immigration has carried all classes to our doors. In the main we find v them pleased with their surround ings and grateful for the privir ledge of living in this wonder ful Willamette valley. Occasion ally, however, we find one like "Housekeeper'' who greatly de plores the absence of some things necessary to her happiness; : Among them, vegetables and dressmakers. We have resided in Corvallis a number of years and have seldom been unable to obtain fresh vegetables in season. or the Gf-Ta respondents to help nil up a daily paper when local items are scarce. To this we ; offer no objections, but will give a hearty amen! It seems exceedingly strange how soon the ladies of the town found out who House keeper was. Four ladies (ac cording to the following issue of your paper) called Housekeeper up and endorsed what had been written. How would so many find out who Housekeeper was in so short a time? - ' Another View of Advertising It has been my lot for many years to associate with dress makers, and have learned this much" regarding the business: that a . competent dress-makgr never has to put an ad in a paper or sign in a window after she has once become established! The most over-worked people in Corvallis are the dress-making fraternity. Some have been on the very verge, while others are simply nervous wrecks. Only a few days ago a strange lady asked a dressmaker that was not rushed to death,' and this dress maker told. her that she saw a dress-maker's ad in pne of the the papers. ' 'Oh my goodness, " replied the lady, "I wouldn't go to her for the simple reason that A PRIZE OF $50 IS SUIT OFFERED HAWLEY SPEAKS : AT CLUB TONIGHT In view of the unusual interest already aroused by the Gazette Times': big popularity contest the management has decided to offer an additional prize to the contestants.

But if we ha,d truck gardens within the limits of Corvallis the same trouble would exist for there are those who are always looking for the impossible. As to dressmakers, where, Oh! where in Corvallis does "House keeper" live? She says she has lived here a year, and has never heard of a dressmaker, except- K.I . 1 mg tne one tnat got away from the Pheasant Farm.". It is doubtful if that modiste would have sewed a stitch for "Housekeeper," as she was in Corvallis for a short time only on request of the leading society ladies.

INDUGEMEN OPPORTUNITY 1 7 WRITERS TS FOR ELECTRIC CITIZENS PROPOSE THAT WE OF FER BRIDGES TO MR! WELCH. ELECTRIC LINE IS DUE HERE Portland, Ore., Oct 26 (Spe rial) Five thousand dollars will be given by the Portland Com mercial Club in prizes for the best newspaper and magazine articles on Portland, the state, or tne racmc .Northwest. The offer holds good during the com ing year and the one writing the best article will be rewarded with a check for $1000. Second best will get $500, and a gradu ally diminishing scale of prizes will reward 80 writers: The contest is open to every one, lne conditions are that the articles must be printed in a newspaper. . or magazine in gen eral circulation, printed any where outside of the states of Oregon and Washington. Mark ed copy of the publication must then be sent to the Portland Commercial Club, where it will be turned over . to three judges named by the Governor of Ore gon. The articles may be printed between the dates of November 1, 1909, and December 31, 1910. Almost any phase of the Northwest may be used as sub ject matter of the articles. The length and treatment is optional with the writer. The plan of the Commercial Club is not to have the Northwest "boomed" in the common meaning of the term so much as it is to have the people of the country become more -familiar with this portion of the United States and give expression to their views in such articles as will be acceptable to papers throughout the entire continent. s While the County is Building Bridget It OMignt Well Prepare for Electric Line and Tender an Offer for Service Some Think C. & A. a link. : (Continued' on page three) The statement is made that it would cost ' but $1000 ' more to ' equip the proposed bridge across the Willamette for electric car service. This has suggested to some that the United Railway Salem to Eugene, might be in duced to come this way if Benton county were to furnish a proper bridge here. It is also suggested by one of the County Court that ; n ii n 4.1. .t- Tt:. uiiuge iiiusi ub reuuiiL sooner, or later, it might be worth while to suggest that this city and county would join the railroad people in the construction of a bridge at such a time as it is needed for ' the electrij line. Ought to Land 'Em According to Manager Welch, the plan now is to pass up Cor vallis and cross the river at Pe oria, toucning Monroe, Junction City, etc. The United Railway can come by way of Corvallis through a better territory and touch all the towns named with get out of a direct line to Eu gene, so it is difficult to under stand why Mr. Welch suggests the route he does. If Benton can offer the bridge across the Willamette, and assistance in bridging Mary's river, the only bridges necessary by this route, it would seem strange if Mr. (Continued on page thiree) GET IN OUR CONTEST AND WIN A CASH PRIZE II ;' 4 If Gentlemen, Stop !
