Oorvaliis Times. Official Paper ot Benton County. CORTAXU3, OREGOIT, APKIL 1, 1906, ... . WHY NOT? , A business house in a neigh -"boring town, outside of Benton county, encloses an advertisement and in a pleasant letter, ' requests the Times to run the ad and send the bill. The ad refers to a great ''Fire Sale" of clothing, and pro fesses to hold out great .bargains, The letter also proposes that an arrangement be made by which the Times may carry a standing ad vertisement for this wideawake firm. The Times does not print the advertisement that, was enclos ed and will not enter into negotia tions for the standing ad. It is a loss - of business of course, to the naoer. voluntarily thrown A away for the good of Corvallis, because the way to build up Corval iis is to deal always and only when possible, with Corvallis tradesfolk Many an advertisement like this is declined by the Times for thesake of the town. It costs the paper money, but its loss is the town's gain, Shall we not all do what we can to help Corvallis, to build up Corvallis, and to make Corval lis a best town. Appropriation Largest Ever Made- Some Remarks Apropos Thereto. There is deep local interest in the $50,000 congress has appropriated for the improvement ot tne Wil lamette. The sum is the largest ever set aside for this work,1 and there is wide belief that great bene fit will inure to upper river naviga tion as the result of a wise expendi ture of the funds. The Yamhill river is included in the allowance, but of course it is the upper I Wil KONEY FOR WILLAMETTE. GIRLS WON IT.

The speak ers Jabored with the question of I whether or not a more civilized na tion has the right to enforce its authority over an interior people, 4 and when the points were all in, the judges by a hair s breadth fig ured it out that the more civilized lamette that is mostly representa-,tion QUght not t) do that SQrt of LEWIS AND CLARK YEAR. What of Corvallis? Will she Keep Step to the llaf ch? Watch Mon day Night. Monday night is the date for an nual election of officers of the Citi zens League. The event is talked about among the members, and there is apparently a growing pur pose to invoke the occasion for an attempt to,infuse new life into the organization. For the past year only the ' executive committee has beenon the battlements. Such mat ters as have been disposed of have been under the direction of that committee. Dates for meetings have Slipped by one after another, and but one or two meetings iav occurred during th? xi mo fcthsT The executive committee has how ever, been vigilant, and has done many things that have been of val uable service to the public, Members are talking now lor a general attendance at Monday night's meeting and of an effort for a ; general awakening. This is Lewis and Clark year in' Oregon, and it is felt thatCorvallis ought to keep steptd the music of the March to a better Oregon; It is certain teat tnere will be much - occasion for the organized movement of the town's citizenship to be put for ward in the interest of public af fairs. -The League is the only means by which this can be done and for that reason there is a. wide desire among members that there be a full attendance Monday night, witn representatives from every business house. vhome and industry in town. - The meeting occurs , in countycourt room. tive of important interests. Within the past week the Oregona has brought 10,000 bushels of wheat from upper river points to the Fisch er Mills. In tne same time more than 60,000 pounds of flour have been carried by steamboat to Port land from Corvallis for '-shipment abroad. A single shipment the other day was more than 2.400 pounds of mohair, and another single shipment was 2,475 pounds of cream, representing more than 50,000 pounds of milk. Another! shipment was 3,108 dozen of eggs. On in-freights each arriving boat brings 10,000 to 30,000 pounds all in spite of the irregularity of the service since the ow stage of water began The shipments, taken at random, show the wide diversity of interests that the Willamette steamers serve, and how important it is that the river as far as possible be improved for the service of this large client age. The distribution of the funds is in the hands of Major Langfitt at Portland, and it is very probable that the money will be not only wisely but most economilly expend ed, and at the same time be put where the largest interests and widest cliental will be served. It is a matter ' of extremest ' im portance that steamboat navigation of the Willamette be safe guarded and encouraged. It is the river that regulates the ""railroad rates. Resolutions of Condolence. Since the last meeting of ' Hope . Grange, Sister Lillie Purdy, wife of H. S. Purdy, has been called to her eternal home. Sister Purdy has been a highly esteemed member of Hope Grange ' JNo. 269 for a number of years, and Badly will she be missed in her home, in the Grange, and by her "many friends. . , Resolved, That Hope Grange hajr lost a highly esteemed member and. we will ever cherish her mem ory as one of many virtues and great usefulness. Resolved, That -we extend to Mr. Purdy our heartfelt sympathies in this his hour of bereavement. Resolved, That one copv of these resolutions be sent Mr. Pur dy, one to each of the leading conn ty papers, and one to be spread up on our minutes, - Fraternally submitted, S. N. Warfield, , C. V.

Thev won not only the decision of the judges, but the undoubted sympathy ot the audience in the vigorous forensic fight they put up for supremacy. They were Miss Minnie Phillips, Miss Maud Roberts and Miss Alice Edwards. They had that side of the question opposed to a govern ment of weaker and inferior peoples I by the law oj might. iheir op ponents were Elmer Rawson, Ar thur Berman and Fred Roth. The boys also made a very creditable showing. In fact, the interest cre ated in these struggles each year has had a strong effect in develop ing the students in debating, and ! marked improvement is noticganle over the cruder worfc 01 two or three years ago. The girl s team was irom the Pierian, and the boys represented the Philadelphian so ciety. The judges were Prof. Covell, T. T. Vincent and Prof. Fulton. At the close of the discussion the result was announced as favorable to the Philadelphians, and both teams and the audience went home with , that understandins. - The next; day, however, it developed that a big error had been made in figuring up the markings.
