Requests From Many States for Ben ton's Souvenirs Ten a Week. Go East. i About ten is the number of il lustrated' souvenir pamphlets that E- E. Wilson sends out a . week to those who write from the East for them. The requests come from the Dakotas, Wisconsin. Ten nesee. Ohio, Kansas, y California and Nebraska,' but mostly from Iowa' Each request is accompan ied by a remittance of io cents to paV for the' pamplet- ' The' wonder is how people so widely scattered through so many states have heard of the Benton county souvenir, and that it takes i o cents to get it, for it is only in the Sunset magazine. published in San Francisco that there is an advertisement of the souvenir, and ot the termson which it can be secured. ' r " ; Mr. Wilson is secretary ; pf the Citizens' League, and there is to be a meeting of that organization next Monday night. The meeting by the way is the regular annual meet ing at which there will be ' an "elec tion of officers, It was the league that provided the means and secur ed the' publication of the souvenir, The requests now coming from all over the country, and the number of pamphlets that is constantly go ing eastward to unknown and wide ly, scattered homeseekers, shows how important has been the exist ence of the League. . To make pro vision for still further work of thi most useful character is a privilege that lies within the power of the or ganization, and if. the . members think it would be a good thing to doit, their presence at Monday night's meeting will show whether they want the work to go on or to be dropped- ; Vy s - ,. 'Since every newcomer , makes a new customer for the business men. it will be interesting to see whether or not they will be on hand at Monday night's" meeting It hap pens in the City Hall at 8 o'clock.

Heckart Has Three in Eugene Now r A Five Thousand Dollar Residence Last Saturday, W. O ' Heckart the well known Corvallis contract or, signed up a contract to build five thousand dollar residence : Eugene, -making three jobs that he has now in that city He was the only bidder, from which it appears that Eugene people know a good thing when they see it. ' : r . 1 he new building is - located in the bon ton quarter and ; is to be one of the finest in the town. "It is 5 1 x" 53, not including r, a 1 6-foot porch across the front. The style of architecture is colonial, with large columns. There is a balcony over the front entrance with ' the same column effect. A broad en trance, with steps i-i feet wide con nects with a hallway which extends almost through the building.' The parlor is entered through an arch way with columns on'either - side. Across the hall from the parlor is the living room, with two bay widows, and a ; fire ' place . The whole building is on the broadest lines, and all the appointments are very complete. - - , Have, You Seen , K The new purses, wrist bags "and chatelaines at Gehard's.

And How They Save Labor With it - Corvallis Has Some on Hand. They store wind now and use it to save labor. Some people try to build good roads with wind, but they are not successful.' Many people who. try to build roads that way, object when it comes to pay in g out cash for roads. It is a wind built road on - which-' "P. "A. Kline and his; mules always mire down in winter time. But they do use wind at Berry's bicycle repair establishment to an excellent advantage.: . They have a big tank into which with an " en gine they pump a lot of compressed air, Connected with the tank; is a long rubber tube and when a . lady wants to fill the tires f of her wheel, all she has to do is to ' adjust the tube and the stored wind will i do the rest. She can, if she wants to, look all over the other lady's bon net, and see whether s the Mat ter's dress is cut . bias, or hangs wrong, and may be figure out that it is the same old last : year's suit made over. She even has leisure to wonder if the other lady's hus band has paid for the new bonnet, or still owes for it. and all the time the stored wind is pumping up the tires of her wheel without assist ance or i- interference by human hand.: It's the handiest and sim plest thing on earth; and the pub lic has free use of it, ' at Berry's. 1 yj In the latter establishment big improvements are noticeable. There is much more room than formerly, and an ' engine has; been added : to the plant. Ten bicycles have al ready been sold this season and the business has so developed that Mr, Berry keeps two men constantly employed.- All kinds of'- supplies are on hand and all kind of repair work :. is done.
