The whole of the middle west..-, and stretching as far south as Georgia and Alabama he said, are now hear ing of Oregon as never before. The meeting was a rare treat for local citizens, .: All ot them said so some of them in brief speeches, A rising vote of thanks was extended the visitors for their entertainment. A meeting of the same character is to be held a month hence. . : The League adopted a resolution asking the Portland city council to grant a telephone franchise to the Empire telephone company. The latter is an organization .independent of present telephone systems. . It is a part of the rural system recentiy described in the Times as under consideration. ,It .. proposes rural telephones on every , country ; road and in every home in westsidecounr ties at nominal expense. , It is be ing pushed in , Washington,. Yam hill and Polk counties, and is to be taken up in Benton. . The plan is for every neighbor to talk with any other neighbor, i either ; in city or country at any time at a minimum cost. The League .appointed Z.j H. Davis, E, E-. Wilson and W. ,E. I "Yates a committee to devise plans and means for promoting the system in Benton.. . , ,. .1 'HOTEL CORVALLIS.

The repair operations on .Hotel Corvalli9 are being' pushed with much vigor, and the big; building' whose final ' completion has been so much subjected to delay at last" seems in a fair way to be finished. The plastering of 10 rooms 'on the second floor has already been com pleted, and this morning the'work men begin on the remainder. ' A fine cement pavement along , the west side and doubliug around the north westerner in front ' of the - bank entrance has been completed, and will be ready for use in a week. Sufficient materials are at hand for completing the inside work ' on the first and,second floors,, and, a number of workmen are putting.' it in place with all speed. Workmen re also engaged in ' installing7 the furnace and heating ; system, and will shortly have their task comple ted. ' Notice of Electiom.

'Among them, ' is Poling" who took first place in the fifty yard dash over - Heater - last venr. and who is accounted one f the swiftest sprinters in the state. He also took second place, against all teams last season, v in 'the half mile run. '.' ' ' . V " -The excellent start ' made last Saturday by the OAC team will tend to lend additional interest to next Friday's meet: Some of .the home players are- likely " to throw additional surprises into ? the c.itf test, that will make the event well worth watching;- The games ; will begin at three o'clock sharp, and will be hurried through in . quick succession in order to get : through in time for supper, - so that : there will be no long waits between acts. BY VOLUNTEER WORK. Striving to Make Banner Road in Benton Farmers are Doing it. i The prospect is that the banner road in Benton County next winter will be a stretch of several miles on the Albany route, northeast of Cor vallis. The residents in - that sec tion have taken the matter in their own hands, and are building what is destined, to be a permanent highway.- The stretch begins at Stew arts bridge and extends as far north ward as the Scholl farm. Every farmer along the line has put teams and men on the work, and through out the distance the road, is -being completely rebuilt. - r T The plan comprises a double grad ing. . Alter the first graae is com pleted the heavy county roller is put on and . the r sdirt ' ' is " packed t as firimly as eight or ten tons weight repeatedly passing over can press it. - .Then after-, ploughing , along the sides a second grading is resor ted to, and the roller set to :, work again. - r- " To complete the system: scientific drainage is provided for, with ditches on each side, the levels of which, are established by the coun ty surveyor, who was' out on the line yesterday' with his instruments. Whenever - necessary, . culverts, under the road draining one ditch into the other, are provided for. The south ends of the drainage ditches emotv into the stream at the bridge, and furthur 'north, the drainage goes in an opposite di rection, and is finally carried away from the road through , a - waste ditch constructed for : the' . purpose. No attempt -will be jnade to giavel the new road this season. .. 1 ; The new bridge and the;; reduct-i ion of the grade at Stewart's hill adds materially to the. new stretch of road. The grade at the point is scarcely one-half what it .formerly was. - On the same road, some.disv tance this side of Stewart's bridge, . the county is preparing to ,. build a considerable stretch of permanent road. The latter is to ba about a quarter of a , mile in length, ;and when all is completed there . is , no doubt, unless other communities are seized with a desire for best roads, the Corvallis end" -of the f Albany road will be'by far the" best high way in the county.
