LOCAL LO&E. (Aitartlsemennlii this column chanced for at the raw oils cents per line. Tbe Johnson twins, Bert and Bob, are to leave next Monday to attend the sessions of the Knights of Phythias lodge at Seaside on the Columbia. A cottage in Corvallis has been taken by them and Mr. and Mrs. Rufus Skipt n. former resid ents of Lebanon, are now at home to their friends in Corvallis. They will make their home hereafter in this city. A large barn has jnst been built by W, P. Miner on his prop erty in Tobs addition. The place is " occupied by Mrs. Durst, who recently arrived from the East. - Mr. and Mrs. John Whitaker and Captain George Robinson left yesterday for the East. The form er go as far as their old homes in Ohio, visiting enroute, and Captain Robinson's destination is Arkansas. While playing on a sack of chittim bark Sunday evening, Charles, the four-year old on of Mr. and Mrs Abbott, fell, break - ing the left forearm. Dr. Cathey reduced the fracture and the little patient is getting along nicely. Green Brothe s have begun the erection of a new dwelling house near the carriage factory building. It is to be a two story structure wit a ample conveniences. At no time in the history of Cor vallis has there been such a b torn thus late in tbe season, in building residences and homes. There is general complaint among hunters concerning the scarcity of china pheasants this season. Traveling mea who stopp ed at Corvallis for the purpose of taking advantage of the open sea son and who accompanied friends on a hunting trip early Sunday morning, came in at 4 p m. with only one or two birds to their cred it. Experienced hunters in Cor vailis met with no better luck, and it is thought that there has been hunting going on quietly for the past two months, regardless of the law, which probably accounts for . the scarcity of the Oregon hunter's favorite game. One of the pleasantest society events at the college this year, was a reception.g;iven to young lady students by the Feronians Friday . afternoon from four to six A lit erary program was rendered iu the chapel as follows: Instrumental solo.

Winers ot Benton and Linn Counties considered nat ters of interest to themselves and the service in which they are en gaged, in this city Saturday even ing. The meeting was held in the local postoffice and besides the carriers, Postmaster Johnson of Corvallis and Train of Albany were present. The carriers are members of an association of which Mr. Wallace of Albany is president. The latter went as a delegate to the recent meeting of tbe National R. F.D. Carriers Association held at St. Louis, and was the only delegate from Oregon pr( sent. He labored' to bring tbe 1905 meeting of the Association to Portland and was so successful in his unaided efforts. that Oregon took third place in the voting, j. he local meeting was uevoiea 10 consideration 01 means for bettering the service and the work ot the carriers. Thirteen of the latter were present, and all took part in a banquet at the Commercial Restaurant, given their guests by - the local R.F.D. men. W.A. Wells is to leave in a day or two, to span 1 the winter at Pnnevilie. Having served for s oaie time in the Western Union office i" Cor vallis, Eruc-t Miller left Sunday to accept a better 'paying p sition in Koseburg. Miss Francis Wiles entertained fifteen of her outhful friends Sat urday, from two to five, at her home . Mrs. Chester Dolp1! presid ed over the refreshments and Mrs. Haber-att acted as ent rtainer for the company. Tbe occasion was most pleasant for all present , Election notices, , informing voters of the fact that there is to be a . presidential election in a few weeks, are being sent out from the county clerk's office. Four presi dential electors are t be voted for, and the election occurs on Tuesday November 8th. The players in the eleven that are to play a game of football with the OAC team on tbe local field next Saturday afternoon, are in the main, graduates from literary in stitutions and old experienced men on the gridfron. They are certain to put up a vigorous p'ay and a first class gridiron battle will be the rtsult. Some are from Stanford, some from the State Un iversi y, and all know what they are on the field for. A good game is in store lor those who may at tend. ';,'" An article in - Monday's Tele gram tells of the -success that A. F. Hershner is meeting, wjth la the Gresham schools. Two years ago be undertook the establishment of a high school, beginning with ten pupils. Now the number has in creased to fifty, and the course is made the same as that in the Port land high school. The Gresham school, under Prof. Hershner's principalship has grown to an en rollment of nearly 200. . . Samples of corn have been promised the committee that ha in hand the collecting of specimens for the Benton exhibit to the Lewis and C'ark fair, but still other sam ples are desir d. Ash and -hazel wood samples have been promised by the Norwood Trading Company at Bruce. Taken altogether, how ever, the worjt of collecting is more difficult and tedious than it should and would be if every one would awak en to the interests that are at stake, and lend a hand towards making the exhibit representative of Benton's wonderful resources and natural productiveness. . Moses Brothers, of Philomath, have purchased the Arcade of W.P. Lafferty, and are to take possession in a few dajs. Invoicing has been in progress since Mondy, and as soon as it is completed, the new owners will be in charge. Tfce deal- wf-s closed Saturday. Mr. Lafferty' s plans for 'he future are not made public. It is the purpose ot the Moses Brothers to remodel the,intrior of the store, and to put in a large and complete stock of groceries, dry goods and general merchandise The Corvallis es caDiisnment will De run m conn?c- Ition with the Philomath etore con riucted by the sams firm. -Chittim bark, peeled this sum mer from Alsea trees is now on its way to London, England. Thrre lis a car of it, and it is the fourth in the shipment-" of a big pool of bark recently purchased in Alsea, by J, JS.Heokle of Philomath. The bther three cars went to New York and Philadelphia. A fifth car is to (leave as soon as delivery of the (bark by the Alsea peelers can be completed. It will clean up the Henkle pool, and incidentally, it and the other pool sold last week, nearly cleans up the peeled bark stock of the Al?ea Valley, which is :hittim headquarters. The Hen :le pool brought $5.30 per hundred rounds. The pooj last week, went t an average of about $5. 11, ten tpns having sold at $5. 31 and 32 tons at $5 05. Only about a dozen or fifteen voters have registere d as a result of the re-opening of the registra tion books at the county clerk's office. . The "books were opened September 30, and are to remain open lor registration purposes un til October 20. In the main it is new arrivals in the country who have become citizens since ths June election that are registering, though in one or two instances the elector has just attained majority, whiie others have changed residence from the place where they were formeraly registered. In instances of the latter, but two freeholders are required to make the affidavit necessary for the change to be made. By the new arrangement, each elector gives,his political pref erence, which, by tin way. United States Senator Fulton says, in his opinion, makes the law unconstitu tional. V After an extended visit at the home of Mr. and Mrs Samuel Wyatt, Mis. W, - S. Gilbert ' left Monday for her .home in Portland. Claud CateV a member of last year's graduating class at OAC. arrived yesterday from Hillsboro, and is the guest of friends. . Mrs Louis , Hollenberg left yesterday for a visit with Iowa relatives. She will be absent six weeks. . ' .r F. P. Sheasgreen leavf s today for a visit to relatives in far away New Brunswick Enroute, stops will be made in Michigan, Boston and par s of Canada for a sight of old scenes, after; an absence of 23 years. His itinerary will keep Mr. Sheasgreen away froai home for about six weeks The owner or tn Albiny auto mobile had bis machine and his broth-T out for an airing Saturday afternoon. The horse ' thev met wrecked the buggv, threw out its occupants and nearly ki led one of the1 latter. Tbe autoist is now face to face with a firm of la yers, a claim for $50 damages and pos sibly, a lawsuit. Autobubbling is lovely, but if comes high. A list of promotions in the ca det battalion at the college was to have been announced yesterday morning, but. on account of the ar rival of the new commandant, the matter was postponed. The pro" motions are occasioned by an in crease in the number of companies and the consequent necessity for a larger number of officers. " -There are more families now in Corvallis and her suburb than: ever before. In spite of the many dwelling houses built and ' put in habitable shape by repairs, every possible shelter is filled to its tit most fullness. Two old church buildings have each been ' trans formed into two dwelling houses, and the four resultant places shelt er four families. Newcomers from the East and Oregon families seek ing educational facilities supply ma terial for this large and ' constant growth in population. A bigger and better Corvallis is to be a feature of the future. "i- Many people attended the meetings of the County Board of Equalization iu session at the court house all. last week. None asked for a raise in assessment, but the requests for a lowering of valu ations were as with one voice. '"Inn numerous instances virtue : was found in the claims of the taxpsy ers, and changes were made. So many matters came up for adjudi cation that the board was unable to dispose of all in the. week of time allot ed by law for the session, and a lot of business went over to be disposed of by the county court. Litigation is said to be likely over Frank Whitaker's crop of hops, aggregating 24.00a pounds. Formerly a contract existed in which the output of the yard was contracted for a term of years to Faber and Neis. The grower claims the contract is no longer in effect, and proposes to dispose of the crop at the best obtainable figure to any comer. The ther insists on a delivery, and therein is the chance for a lawsuit. So far, no l?gal steps have been taken, but it is said to be the purpose of neither side to yield, save at the end of a legal scrimmage. , . T Complaints multiply concern ing the lack of water conveniences for use in required sewer connect ions. In one new house under construction, the water supply has to be taken through the neighbor's back yard with the lack of force and paucity of volume incident thereto. If the neighbor happens to reed water at any particular time, the occupants of the - new house will have to wait till he is through. Requests for a main wi tn which to serve the new house ape not honored by the Water Com pany, and for obvious reasons. The company, naturally enough, hesitates to make extensions while the water business is in so unsettled a state. Until new arrangements can be made, the unsettled condi tions will continue and there will be a constant lack of water for toilet and other service in residences. v.- .-' ' . :- '- .
