There is an unprecedented de mand for. boused. That means much, because there is always a strong demand. It flares up every summer and continues throughout the year. To say, that it is, now unprecedented means that it is stronger than in any former year. and yet this is true. The knocker says there are unoccupied bouses in town, and so. there-are, but-scarce-ly tny of ihem canbeiented. Near ly all ol them are under lea-e, and the tenant, though absent, is pay ing rent on them so he will be sure to have shelter when the swallows homeward fly. Even many of the nouses now unaer construction; are aln.aJy engaged. In most instances where a man no building a ' home of his own is to vacate a leased hcuse, the la'ter is rented. There may be a few tx.eptio.i4, but they are very few. One real estate firm has one vacant house, and there are thiee. applications for it. If it had been a desirable house, it would have been engaged long aSo. Anoth er firm has three disengaged houses, but they "are not good ones" said a member of the firm. "Of good hcuses there ate none," he contin ued. "If a goodly number more pwere available, they would be quick ly rented, for there is a far stronger demand for houses at this time than at the same time a year ago." ;'The demand for houses is very strong. There will be people and in my opinion, lots ot them who will not get located," said another real estate man. "Most of the people who are making application are people from abroad who want hous es to occupy while' they come here for educational purposes. In the last week before college opens if the demand grows as it usually does, the search for houses will become frantic, and many will be disap pointed.'" Ot : course, cccasionaiiy a good house appears for rent, bttt it is quickly snapped np,; those who are seeking accommodations should be constantly on the watch. It was supposed that the 84 houses actu ally built last year would in a large measure satisf v ' the ' demand for houses. Eiehtv-four new houses means an increase of probably 500I .V.- - 1L1.: v :t. r-i in ine popumutju, wiutu 111 vunai: lis means a 20 per cent, addition to the census. Besides - the houses built last vear a - large - number of new one's are now in course of con struction or are just completed. At last accounts the4ist of completed and houses under construction has oassed the 20 mark, but still the de mand is unsatisfied: ; . ", A man who was in town last week, looked the town over in a .vain search for houses, and left without engaging one.: He wanted a better house than any of those available, and could only secure such a house by buying it outright- ' He , was from Eastern Oregon and wanted a house for four or five years while his family jcould avail themselves of local educational facilities. v He was uncertain-when he left whether or hot he would return. He particu- larlv wanted to come to Corvallis because of her mountain toater: and other conditions conducive to good 1 health and good order. , -?

Even after Mr. Bryan It-it the city on Wednesday the. hotel was not cleared of bis nun erous well wisheis and of theself-Eeeking bores on bis trail. All day long there vs tto Midler chain of callers.

All throngb tbe afternoon an inno cent Pitteburger, who grabbed Mr. Bryan's room, was opening his door to ptople who asked for Mr. Bryan, or his lieutenant, Baseford. Salem, Aug. 22.

George Hall, of No. 173 Smd street, Brook lyn, fell fainting in the street here tonight creating a stir among the gay throijg ot homeward bound summer boarders who were hurry ing to take tbe boat for New York. Oa being revived by a physician, Hall stated that he bad It ft Brook lyn a week ago in quest of work. In this te had faihd and being asham ed to ask for food he had not tasted a mors?l since last Wednesday.' Hall said he was twenty-two years old, and that his father, who is dead, was for many 3 ears an en gineer on the Bat ton and Albany railroad. Bloomsburg, Pe., Aug. I9.
