Corvallis Times CORVALLIS, OREGON, ' '" FRIDAY EVENING, APR. 12, 1907 Judge Boivi Salem Statesman. In the death of Judge R. P. Boise, which occurred at his home in this city Wednesday, Oregon loses one of her most distingushed pioneers and citizens; a man 'who f6r more than fifty years was in public life in this state, and whose name was an honored one during all the years of his labors. Never a whisper of scandal was there against him. Judge Boise was an honest man. God's noblest work. As a law maker, as a patriot to his country's cause, as a law enforcer, as a judge interpreting the law and administer ing it, as a private citizen, as a neighbor, and as s. husband and father, he was upright in all his activities. . " To the men of Judge Boise's company, whose ranks are grow ing thinner on this side of the line, Oregon as a commouwealth owes a great debt of gratitude. They laid the foundations of the state broad and deep. Here was, a man whose life was a success, and whose example is worthy of emulation. "CHRISTOPHONE." Installed in United Presbyterian Church at Albany. Conversions by telephone will be made possible in Albany commenc ing next 8unday. The time has passed when it is necessary to at tend' church to get the benefit of the minister's sermon, or enjoy the music of trained choirs, " No longer will the faithful church member be compelled to go through the wintry weather to his chosen house of worship. The Christo phone, the epitome ot modern tele phone invention, has been installed in the United Presbyterian church in this city, and patrons of the Home Telephone Company who so desire, can now lie abed f Sunday mornings as long as I they wish. To hear the sermon and the . entire church service, the lazy man or the sick person will hereafter only have the labor of taking down the telephone receiver. When the.col- lection plate is passed you won't need to begin searching tor the coin you thought you had, but can lie quietly in bed and listen to the jingle. : The minister will not be discouraged in the least if he ar rives some Sunday morning to find no one present besides himself and the organist and choir, c ; : : : The service will go on : just the same for the minister will; -know thathe has hundreds of auditors hanging on to the end of telephone receivers in all parts of the county. Albany will be the first city on the Pacific Coast to have one of its churches equipped with the Cbristo phone, Manager DeVarney tf the Home Company, is- now . engaged in installing this wonderful inven tion in the Presbyterian church and expects to have it in wotking order by Sunday.morning.

"We prefer Chamberlain's Cough R-. to any other for our children," says J. Woodbury, of Twining, Mich. ' "It htu. also done the work for us in hard colds and croup, and we take pleasure in recommend ing it." v For sale by Graham & Wortham. POSTMASTER JOHNSON. Gives Notice That Roads Must be Im proved or Rural Service may be Withdrawn. Editor Times: There are sec tions of roads leading out of Cor vallis over which rural delivery routes are in operation which are sadly in need ., of improvement, and I desire space to briefly call the attention of patrons of these routes to the urgent need for early action in getting these sections repaired. In a recent communication from the Fourth Assistant Postmaster General, division of rural delivery I was requested to bring the matter of road improvement to the atten tion of the patrons and the county court, informing them "the depart ment requires all roads over which rural delivery service is established to be maintained in condition to be traveled with facility and safely at all seasons of the year, and that unless some jction is taken within the next thirty days, or as soon as conditions of weather and ground will permit, to improve the roads the department will seriously con sider the withdrawal of rural serv ice therefrom." Further, I am di rected to report results to the de partment after a reasonable oppor tunity has been given the parties interested to repair roads. While all of the roads on which rural service is maintained are in need of repair, I desire to call par ticular attention to pieces or sec tions of roads that have been im passable during the past winter. On three ot the routes the carriers have been compelled, on account of the condition of the roads, to leave their teams tied by the roadside and deliver mail to their, respective patrons afoot. The sections refer red to are as follows: On route No. i, from the Moun tain View school house to the May's corner, particularly from Bicknell's west. On route No 2. from E. L. Da vis' to the Beaver Creek school house. ' On route No. 3, from the With am school bouse to the C. G. Davis place. " On route No 4, from Bruce around to Inavale a considerable portion of the road has been in a de plorable condition all winter, Much of the time the carrier has been compelled to travel through a pri vate gateway in. order to serve his route. This road is in the foot hills and on account of the nature of the soil it will be necessary to do considerable intelligent work this spring H a decent road is to be maintained throughout the winter months. The attention of . the County Court has been called to the mat ter and its members are disposed to co-operate in an effort to get -the roads mentioned t above properly improved. But it will also be nec essary for the patrons on several routes to materially assist in the matter if the desired results are to be attained, 1 i'-m s -. '-m .. ' ' The government is spending mil lions annually for the maintenance of rural delivery service but it is granted only ' on condition that roads over which it is established can1 be traveled with-facility and safety at all.seasonssof the year. -I have had so many:. assurances of appreciation of the seryi.ce from rural patrons of this office, that it is unlikely that their attention will have to again be called to the mat ter. ' At the end of the . road mak ing season I hope to be able to re port to the Department that .the patrons of the four Corvallis rural delivery ; routes are as progressive and " enterprisfng as any in the whole country and that they have manifested their appreciation of the service by putting the roads over which carriers travel in excellent condition. Respectfully, B. W. Johnson, . . Postmaster. Notice of final Settlement.. In the County Court of the Stale of Oregon for Benton county.

The Jolty Comedy "Hello Bill," It is with pleasure that we an nounce the appearance of the jolly comedy success. "Hello ; Bill", that extremely funny concoction of funny lines and and humorous sit uations which for , the past three years has made the entire eastern country shriek with laughter. To tell the , numerous funny situa tions of "Hello Bill" would be im possible, they follow one another with such startling rapidity as to keep the auditor mystified ps to how the author can get his charac ters out of the seemingly impene trable maze but he does, and his manner of doing so is said to dis play one of the most cleverly con structe farce-comedies ever written. For this seasons tour new songs have been secured, and the pro duction is not excelled by any similar rganization on the road. Seats are now selling. MEETS NEXT WEEK.
