Taylor and to make a brief stay with relatives and friends. Carl an attack of measles. The sewer extending through the J. H. Harris and Marshall Mil ler blocks is nearing ccmpletion. As these two property owners are the only ons interested, it was practicable for them to have the work done under their own super vision and they chose that method. Eugene Guard: William Ho des this forenoon opened the bids for the construction ot his new two story brick laundry . building and apartment house at the corner of West Eighth and Charnelton streets. There were only two bid ders, W. O. Heckart and W. H. Alexander. Mr. Heckart being the successful one. His bid was $6985 Bay Rickard is making a stay at Hot Lake, near La Grande, where he hopes to be improved in health. He has been at this resort for about three weeks and feels that he has been benefited. Bay writes that Abe Eglin, a former resident of Corvallis, is at Hot Lake taking treatment for rheumatism.

A number of Alsea, Lobster and Five Rivers settlers have re cently visited Corvallis and vicinity for the purpose of buying Jersey stock, separators and cms, with the view of starting into the dairy bus iness. All that section of couutry west of the Coast range is admir ably adapted to dairying, and con ditions are rapidly forming which will enable the ranchmen to market fheir products. . Recently the quarantine was about to be removed from the Epis copal rectory where Miss Pearl Chatham had been ill of varioloid, but it was discovered that the two children of Rev. Simpson had con-, tracted the disease. The boys had been isolated during the illness of Miss Chatham, as also Mr. Simp son, still the little fellows are to be sujected to a further and still more inconvenient term of retirement. The Rev. Anna Shaw, of Phil adelphia, one of the ablest teachers of the day, and of wide repute as an advocate of woman's causes, is to be in Corvallis Thursday. Miss Shaw comes under the auspices of the Red path Lyceum Bureau of Boston, and she is enthusiastically recommended by the press and peo ple throughout the country. ,Miss Shaw is to be tendered a reception Thursday from 2 to, 4 at the Con gregational church of Corvallis, to which there is a general invitation. In the evening at 8, in the same church, Miss Shaw delivers a free lecture upon the subject, "Sate of the Republic." There should be a large attendance. By the official report of Treas urer Huston, made last night to the Water Board, there was then in his hands of the water funds, $28194.67. Of the amount, a small portion is yet to expended on the pipe line for back filling. Most of it however, is for use in construct ing the distribution system and completing the reservoir. It is pos sible that a small balance may yet be seved on Engineer Miller's orig inal estimate, in spite of the length ened pipe line and an increase in .he distribution system. Rock Creek water is regularly flowing now through the pipe line into the Willamette, and from a hydrant near Graham & Wells drug store, everybody can get a drink of moun tain water that wants it.

Miss Agnes Wilson now has a total vote of 104,548 in the Oregon ian popularity contest, leading in the nth district by something over 30,000. The contest closes in three weeks, and Corvallis expects to send Miss Wilson on tbe trip to the Yellowstone Park, which is the prize in the contest. Henry Price, who has been a salesman in the R. M. Wade hard ware store in this city for several years, left Sunday for Seattle to ac cept a position in a general hard ware store. His family will remain in this city until July. Many friends regret the change of resi dence. Do not forget that the local W. C. T. U. is gathering a quan tity of cltohing and other supplies for the needy of San Francisco. A shipment is to be made the last of the week. If any person has con tributions to make they'should be delivered to Mrs. Crees or inform her that they are ready for delivery and she will send for them. A. T.

Well, we all have to take our medicine when we come out tor office, so good luck to the man who won; and many thanks to my few friends who voted for me." Oik wood, stove lengihs. at Saw Mill Co.

A Corvallis lady, who wishes her name withheld, was knocked down and run over by a bicyclist on one of the streets of the city, yesterday. Though she escaped injury, was little less than a mir acle that she was not severely hurt. There are many riders of the wheel who go for beyond the limit of the law as to speed, and it is time that attention is called to the fact, before a damage suit is brought. The Epworth League of the M. E. church has elected the fol lowing officers for the coming term: President, A. E. Belknap; vice presidents, Mis Belle Mattley, Miss Frances Belknap, Miss Stella Parsons, Miss Georgia Herbert; secretary, Miss Winnifred Gates; treasurer, Lester Marrs; organist, Frank White; assistant, Miss Geor gia Herbert: chorister, J. G. Kelly; assistant, Miss Libbie Rice. Corvallis and Albany indulged in a spirited game of base ball at the latter city Sunday afternoon. There was rain falliner up to the time the game was called, and in consequence there was a small at tendance. The surprise of the game was that both teams put up such a high class of base ball, the score at the end of the nine innings being three runs to one in favor of Corvallis. The latter made two splendidly executed double plays in the course of the game. Andrew Taylor Gellatly, in fant son of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Gellatly, died Wednesday night of spasmodic croup, aged one month and eleven days. The funeral ser vices were conducted by Rev. S. M. Wood at Pleasant Valley Ceme tery at eleven o'clock on Friday. A large concourse of neighbors and friends were present to pay their last respects and to speak comfort ing words to the bereaved family. There were many beautiful floral pieces, literally covering the little mound. While the bereaved fami ly monrn their loss they realize that "Of such is the Kingdom of Heaven." Next Friday at Eugene the an nual track meet of U. of O. and O. A. C. occurs on Kincaid field. Lov ers of this class of sport are likely to be highly entertained at the meet as it promises to be a hotly contested one. U. of O. is perhaps stronger tms season than ever be fore while O. A. C. is not so well prepared in some events as last year. Withal, a number of records are in danger from either team, and it seems probable that the North west championship will be practi cally it not literally decided at this meet.- O. A. C. intends to put lortn cer best ettorts to retain the honor. About 100 Corvallisites patron ized the Woodman excursion to Sa lem Sunday. The boat reached Corvallis on the return at 1 o clock Monday morning. While out strawberrying Fri day with two girl friends, Miss Ivy Campbell fell from the buggy in which the trio were riding, and the wheel passed over her body. She was only slightly injured. Until interrupted by rain about twenty teams were hauling from the city and county gravel pit across the river. It is hauled for various purposes in town, but the greater portion of it is used on th highways leading to Corvallis. Albany hlerald: lne snag- boat Mathloma, working on the river between this city and Corval lis, spent Sunday in Albany. Yes terday morning the steamer again went up the river and is at work on snags a few miles up stream. The channel is being cleared up by the Mathloma and a number ot serious obstructions have already been re moved. At the M. E. church Sunday evening Rev. Feese gave an excel lent sermon on "The Christian in Politics." A brief prelude on the Smiths and Creffields of society contained a warning to all to be guarded in their speech and let no remark be uttered that might in fluence a younger person toward the committing of a crime such as young Mitchell has committed j against the state. Mitchell's act. I however, was not condemned, and the general tone was expressive of sympathy for the young man. No matter what the provocation, how ever, people should not be hasty, Mr. Feese said, in giving expression to opinions that might induce some one else to do a rash act. -The last but one of the series of college society debates for the Gatch cup occurred at the chapel Saturday evening. Those taking part were Miss Zena Chapman, Miss Ethel Higdon and Miss Laura Pratt, comprising the Utopian team of debaters, while Miss Kate Ad ams, Miss Alice Edwards and Miss Mamie Scoggin represented the Pi erians. The question was. '"Re solved: That Arbitration will Suc ceed War," the Pierians having the negative and winning the debate. This team has won two debates of the series and the Jeffersonians have won two. The next and final debate will occur in the.near luture between the last named teams for possession of the Gatch trophy dur ing next year. -After much research attorneys and city authorities decided that, notwithstanding some provisions of the primary law, Corvallis may and shall hold her citv election in the good old way which has served quite satisfactorily in the past. Next Monday is city election day. For police judge two names have so far been submitted, that of J. Fred Yates, the present incumbent, and that of J. L. Underwood, both well known citizens. For the off ice ot cniet pt police there are three candidates, namely, W. G. Lane, J. W. Ingle and A. E. Lew is. There appears to be no discus sion, so far, as to other offices. U. ofO. correspondent: "Hu go Bezdek, for three years fullback on the Chicago team, has announc ed his willingness to coach the Ore gon 'varsity team, and will, in all probability, be selected.
