I'ormer residents of Corvallis now in climates where storms and below zero weather have been prevalent the past two months must look . with longing to the Willamette Valley with its mild climate and , the perfect sunshiney weather of the past ten days. Scarcely a cloud has been in the sky the ' past ten days aid the thermometer is twenty above zero, with no prospect of get ting near the bottom , Whether or not the county court can hope to erect a bridge across the Wil lamette at this place without special consideration of . .the"? legislature, the commissioners are going ahead , with plans to get estimates as to the cost of such a bridge and will take all steps preliminary to the erection of a bridge. Commissioner George Smith J says the county court will go as far as it can in this matter, an. assurance that will meet with favor, among, the people who know how. badly such a bridge is needed. : The Albany Democrat says: ; The little one cent piece has become a de cided nuisance among R.

O. department at Washington is that on an average all over , the country 115 pennies are jeft for each carrier in the country to take out of the boxes, with his cold fingers, ".instead of placing stamps on letters ' and papers, as should be done, making the little things cause a good deal of trouble,- In the whole U. S. ' it figures up the enormous amount of 300,000,000 pennies. It ..will therefore be- a favor if people alone R. F. D, routes will use stamps instead of pennies. . 1 , ' ..

When downtown, the victim determined to go to the picture show and . it was only by feigning sick ' headache that Mrs. Whiteside prevailed upon the un suspecting husband to take her home, i There a house full of guests held their breath while the lord of the mansion walked in and turned the electric button,, to be surrounded in an instant by a "howling" company that "almost caused him to collapse from fright and surprise.
