Bids are wanted for carrying the mail between Corvallis and Ina vale. Formerly the route extend- I ed to Bellfountain via Inavale; and Bird Rickard was the contractor. The lopping off of that part of the route from inavale to Bellfountain has caused the government to call for a new contract. Bids were re ceived lately with a view to a new award, but a new schedule of ar rival and departure was provided for, and under representations of Postmaster Johnson it was deemed better to adhere to the old schedule. The latter provides for arrival at 10:30 and departure at two p. m. The bids are to be opened March 14th. The advertisement is to be seen in the Corvallis postoffice. .

Clement, who went over the ground Tuesday, is believ ed to be- favorable, though no statement to- that effect has" been made by him. He found ninety families or more on, the route. He found everything as represented by the local postoffice authorities," on whose initiative he came to Benton ta see the proposed line. The ef fort is to hurry matters, in order to give proper mail facilities - as soon as . possible to the large number of families formerly served by the star route to Bellfountain, which route now goes only to Inavale. In Gold Brick Job Albany Man did Thief got Away and Won't be ' Caught. : ' William Vance, a well known Albany man was gdld-bricked last week to the tune ot $6,000. . A stranger called on him in Albany and interested him in an alleged gold mint- in Arizona. The two went to Salem, where samples 1 of ore from the alleged mine were ex hibited. They were assayed in the presence of Mr. Vance by a pal of the confidence man, and of course showed up marvellously rich. Vance swallowed the bait and in the bank ing house of Ladd & Bush, paid the stranger $6000 in cash for an interest in the mine. Mr. Vance returned to Albany Friday noon, and was informed by close friends that he probably had been bilked. Saturday noon a note was received from the stranger telling him of the fact, and the news prostrated him, for previously he had insisted that it was all right. He and his daugh ter Miss Lora, went to Portland where thev are at the home of WTrl B. Peacock. The case is in the hands of detectives and it '. is said there are clues, but it is doubtful if the men are ever captured. - . The above are the facts as print ed by the Albany Democrat. The Oregonian says the amount lost by Vance is $10,000. but this the Dem ocrat on information from close friends of the family denies. Miss Lora Tance used every endeavor to dissuade her father from dealing with the strangers, but without avail. The incident recalls how a Ben ton farmer was buncoed of $2000 several years ago. He lives yet in the vicinity of the Hectors, j near Granger. Two strangers appeared who claimed to be about to pur chase the farm of Mr. Scholl, a neighbor, and by some sort of ho cus pocus they induced their vic tim to give them his check on an Albany bank for $1300 and his note for $700'. The papers were put in a tin box and given to him for safe keeping- They went away and' were to return for it. The old farmer guarded the box jealously several hours and then when a suspicion dawned on him, he open ed it to find that instead of the $2000 the box contained only stone. The strangers made - their :yoAtoanwhre. irspite of me nasiy pursuit 01 tne larmer, they cashed the check and note and made good their escape. Here's a List of Extraordinary Waist Values!
