There is talk of a new church on the site now occupied by the Simpson Chapel, a mile and a half from Dusty. The Methodists are discussing the matter, and if the old site is not satisfactory, it is likely that the new church will be erected a little farther up the road. For the purpose of raisin? funds for the cause, an ice cream social was eivenbythe M.E. people Thurs day evening, at Simpson's Chapel. A good crowd attended, and a neat sum was realized. T-vo more good dwellings are to be built in Corvallis between the next two or three months. One will be a good rouse of modern de sign, to be erected by Jame3 Horn ing on his recently purchased pro per y just west of the Bodine and Peck warehouse.

A dozen china plates werre?er?"d r Dr. and Mrs. Altmau : cr to Miss Alta Altman, tokens ot the esteem in which the recipients are held by their Corvallis friends and neighbors. Speeches were made by Rev. Carrick and J. Fred Yates and Dr. and Mrs. Altman responded feelingly to the presentation speech which was made by Mrs. Crawford. Features of the evening were two vocal solos by Miss Lulu Spangler. Refreshments, consisting of sher bert and cake were served on the lawn. Eighth street is familiarly known to many residents of that quarter of town as "Poverty Ave nue," and it is the boast of the dwellers on that street now that Poverty Avenue is making more im provements this summer than any other one street in town. Among them may be noticed the new resi dence to be built by Mr. Buxton on lots northeast of the Logaa Hayes dwelling, the lumber being already on the site; extensive improvements to the George Smith house, known as the Lafe Wilson place; new walks around and a new roof on the Da vid Osburn house; a new roof on the Miles Starr house, and a new wood shed ai the Susan Starr home. For an avenue with such a question able name, this is indeed a showing of which to be proud. Councilman Colbert, A.E.Mal- low,-Mr.Maynor and Mr.Campbell, are on the big Elk hunting . ana fishing; they expect to be absent lor a week.

The Corvallis Soda works have just received a consignment-of 60 pop boxes trom the Corvallis Mt Co.

Mr. Boulden, who is a member of the firm of Smith & Boul den, was thrown -tut and badly bruised. Mrs. Ben Martin, who had just entered the vehicle to ride to town was also thrown out, but escaped injury. Indications are thtt the hop crop in this vici nity will be much lighter than usual, due to the lack of rain du-ing the Spring and early summer months Jamei Qaburn says the yield in the Beach ya d a cross the Willamette will not be a bove one half. . The quality, how ever, will be excellent, and t he dan ger of lice and mould, . because of limited-foliage, will be reduced to the minimum. It is said that the yield ;is also much shortened; in other yards. 1 Action was. taken st Wednes days board meeting for securing an army officer to take charge of the department of military science at the college, vice Major Hardin, who has been ordered to join his regi ment in the Philippines.

Tne two Ladies he Treed-A Late Farm Incident JThe iarm bull raised a commo tion on the Thomas Cooper . place the other day. He treed a couple of ladies of the house-hold, and stood beneath, pawing dirt and bel lowing as be waited - for them to come down. The process continu ed until Mr. Cooper, attracted by the noise, hastened to the scene,, and drove the belligerent bovine from the neighborhood. Theinci-i dent, according to the account, be-: gan, when Mr. Cooper, who was at work in the barn, beard a terrible scream. It was followed "by an other, and another, when he began making tracks in the direction of the housp, whence the screams came. All kinds of visiocs were in his minds eye until heneared the house, when out in the orchard he saw the bellowing bull with numerous other cattle gathered about. Then the flutter of a dress and a female figure in an apple tree and another in a big cherry tree caught his eye. The first lady was Mrs. Cooper and the other his daughter, Mrs. Newton. The bull had a reputation, and when he showed signs of an at tack, the ladies saved themselves by climbing the trees, where they were besieged until Mr. Cooper ar rived. It took but a little time for bull and his band to be scattered when the besieged women came back to earth again, thoroughly disgus ted with the monarch of the Cooper pastures.
