"Stories of Old Oregon" is the title of a new book that has just made its appearance,'and which, has occasioned much favorable comment locally. It is from the pen of Hon. George A: -Waggoner, and com prises well told tales of pioneer days. For the most part, the stor ies are from real life, polished up some times with an occasional dash, of poetical fancy;' In all, the details are depicted in a clear, in cisive style and directness of state- ment that bring ; the reader face to face with the situation so vividly that the interest is extreme until the end of the: narrative is reached- The style is extremely and pleas- urably original, and the subject matter occupies a field widely removed from any Oregon literature that: has hitherto appeared. The book deserves a place.at every Orev uu uicsiue, iiuL ueu&use it is mere ly an Oregon product, but for the better reason that it is an attractive narrative of incidents of the early Oregon country, told in a way not to be f ound otherwhere. The publication is meeting with a large sale, over 300 copies hav ing already been sold in Corvallis - '-t Annual Reunion. The Tuesday Afternoon Read ing Club held their annual reunion at Mrs. J. B.

Inspector ' Looked District Over Yesterday. E. C. Clement of the postoffice department, inspected a route yes terday with a view to the establish ment of Corvallis R. F. D., num ber 4. What the result of the in spection will be is not yet known. The territory that it is proposed to serve lies south and southwest of Corvallis. The plan is fo go south on the state road as far as Bruce, thence west about three miles to within a mile of Bellfountain, and thence north via Inavale and Wil lamette Grange Hall to Corvalfis. The route is longer than is usual in R. F. D. trips, but this fact was set forth by Postmaster Johnson to the department . at Washington when the request went forwardrfer an inspection. It will also .fall a few families short of the govern ment requirements, and thistogj, was set forth by the Corvallis post-" master at the time inspection was applied for. Over againstthese de linquencies however, was set forth the conditions that arise out of the discontinuation of the Bellfountain star route and the Bellfcuntain of fice, by reason of which a consider able section of country is not serv ed by the Monroe R. F. D. route. The necessity of affording better facilities for this stretch of popul ous country is accounted a sufficient counterbalance to the added length of route and possible lack of popul ation served. In any event, ; as a result; of the representations in tie Corvallis postmaster the matter was promptly taken up by the depart- 1 S T . . I raeni ana inspector uemeot scut to the scene for investigation and report. Upon this report, depends the question of whether Corvallis R. F. D. number 4 will be estab lished. The district to be tapped is one of the , richest in the county, and the roads traversed among the best.. The extra distance could doubtless be covered without diffi culty, and the clientel of the route prove itself within a ' very short time to deserve the new facility. The gap filled by the proposed route, if it shall be filled, would complete R. F. D. arrangements in Benton. The-county has al ready the best rural telephone serv ice in the northwest, if not on: the Coast. The two services combined should make homes jn. Benton ex tremely desirable, and that too at a time when there is prospect that many Easterners will . be looking tor such conveniences as a part of a new home they are seeking in , the lar West.
