VOL. I. NO. 50 CORVALLIS, EENTON COUNTY, OREGON, TUESDAY, JUNE 29, H09 PRICE FIVE CENTS ANNOUNCEMENT OF CORVALUS ANNUAL PERCHANTSEET. BIGGEST AND BEST IN THE VALLEY BETTER TRAIN NEWSPAPER CONSOLIDATION STATE mm i p. SESSION TEACHERS The Corvallis Gazette and Corvallis Times, the Two Oldest Papers in Benton County, Will Combine to Give the Public the Best Possible Newspaper Service. . CONVENTION MEETS TODAY AT ALBANY. SPLENDID PROGRAM PREPARED Announcement to the Public: . On and after Thursday, July 1, 1909, The Corvallis Gazette and the Corvallis Times will be consolidated under one management and will continue the publication of a daily and weekly edition under the name of THE COR VALLIS GAZETTE-TIMES, with N. R. Moore and Chas. L. Springer as editors and publishers. This consolidation of the two oldest and leading papers in this part of the Willamette Valley is the result of long and careful consideration and will, it is confidently believed, result in many ways to the good of this city and county. ' Realizing that the rapid growth of Corvallis de manded the best newspaper service that could be given, both 'the Gazette and Times had made arrangements to publish a. daily edition andhlle each paper, in its! pros perous condition and with its respective clientelecould have gone ahead and carried out to the fullest extent its own plans,- it has been deemed wise to concentrate their facili ties and - by so doing be in -a better position to serve the public with one first-class daily and weekly paper. From every point of view it is certain that .this con ' olidation will be for the best interests of the people; of Corvallis and Benton county, for it will be the Constant aim of : . the i publishers' to v give to f the public the best possible newspaper service' T.h'afcbnlditl6iwili warrant auid'to keep making improvements commensurate with the growth of the city and country. The combined circulation of the two papers will give the merchants a medium that cannot be excelled for adver tising purposes, and at the same time enable them to real ize the greatest results from their appropriations for this purpose. -' - . . There should be no good reason why the change will not prove in every way beneficial and be welcomed by the business men and the readers of both papers, re- ; gardless of any sentimental ideas about the continuance of the city's oldest papers.' The daily should be taken in every home in the city, and the weekly should find an abiding place in every home not reached by the daily. The public, in helping to bring about this result, will be aiding to build up for Corvallis and Benton county a daily and weekly publication that will be a source of genuine pleas ure and pride. Unexpired subscriptions to the Times and Gazette will be filled out with issues of either the Daily or Weekly Gazette-Times, as may be preferred. Money .due will be paid at the office of the consolidated papers. This consolidation gives the , Gazette-Times a first class job office and even this will be added to immediately so that all classes of printing required in this city may be done here as acceptably as it is done at Portland or else where. This should be appreciated and . supported prop-" erly. ' - " ' .: ' " ';';; Until a satisfactory location can be found for the combined plants, the Gazette-Times will be issued from the present Gazette office and job work will be done at the Times office. A'-'-r-':. With the one object in view of publishing a paper that shall be a credit to Corvallis and Benton county, and with the determination to always work for the good of this community, the hope is entertained for a continuance of the loyal support that has been given to the individual publications, a support which it will be - the constant en deavor of the Gazette-Times to merit.

HE VALLEY PEOPLE COMPLAIN rains to Be Rnn at More Convenient Time to Accommodate Residents in This Part of the State Local Ser vice Improved. ' Through changes in the schedule of the Southern Pacific, effective next Sun day, July 4, residents of the Willamette Valley are to have an improved train service. The changes decided upon and announced yesterday by Assistant Gen eral rassenger Agent scott consist or making the Cottage Grove local an af- , ternoon train and having the Portland express arrive in Portland about 11 A. M. The details or the revised schedule as to the altered time of these trains . have not been worked out but will be decided prior to next Sunday when ,the new schedule goes into effect. v Ever since the last schedule announc- ed by the Southern Pacific went into effect, Tuesday, June 22, there has been general complaint among the Willam ette Valley people- because of an inade quate service to Portland. The revised schedule went into effect on that date changing the arriving time of the Port land express in that city from 11:15. P. : M. to 6:50 A. M. In other words, this -train during the last week has passed :, through the Willamette , Valley very early in the morning instead of during the evening as formerly.
