C. basket ball team, girls and boys of this season. The work is very good and the cards are in great demand. A window display of them at the store attracts much attention, The record of each team is printed with the pictures, and the whole effect is very agreeable. Students are buying the cards and sending them broadcast over the country. Sometime next week the Times office will be' removed to the room recently occupied by the Bell Tele phone omce. The home of the pa per has been in the present quarters in the Fisher brick for the pastsev enteen years. The new place will be more convenient of access for the paper's many patrons oldtime and new, and that is why the change is made. . Of course it is hard work to climb a stairway, there is no doubt of that. The great reason why some subscribers have heen a little lax in paying their subscription is because the Times has been on a second floor; there is no doubt of that. In a few days moie the Times will : be removed to a first floor where everybody can find the way to it easily, and then . there won't be a soul that will let his sub scription get behind; there isn't a bit of doubt about that, : T-S.eventy dollars 'ft head is 'ihe price paid, for a carload of cattle shipped from Corvallis to - Portland the other day. " 'It is doubtful if a finer, lot of beef steers ever left the county . '.They were from the Bay Rickard farm, and were Short Horn steers four aud five years old.1 They were purchased by George Brown and their weight was 7 estimated in the sale at 1,475 pounds, and the price paid was four and three-quar. ters. They went into the Portland market, and were io all respects ex port Deer, pioDaDiy as good, -as was ever marketed in the Oregon me tropolis. ':.: Judge McFadden has returned from a sojourn of . several days on his Junction farm, where he set out 1,200 peach trees and a variety of small fruits, His orchard there comprises 75 acres, and i pro nounced to be one of the finest in the valley. It includes 3000 peach trees, 10 acres of prunes and 35 acres of the best varieties of apples. How horses have advanced in value is reflected in an instance in which Paul Dodele recently figured. He was at work in his field when a stranger approached. "What will you take for that team," asked the stranger. : "Don't want to sell," I was the reply. ''Won't you set a price?" "Oh, yes I would set a price but I do not want to sell; I want to use the team." , Ij so hap pened that Mr. Dodele a year ago offered the span for $200. ,. ''Yes and I would have taken $150 "for them then," he added. But he didn' t want to sell now because he wanted the horses to finish his spring work. "Well,, how . much will you take," inquired the horse buyer. ' Drawing a long breath, the Benton farmer final y said, "-too." The buyer walked around the team sizing the horses up for a minute, took out his check book, and Ihe trade was made.: The buyer was Brockaway of Tacoma. Harrisburg is a dry town, but it has two clubs, similar, to theCor- valhs Social i Athletic club which attempted to do business . in this city. A citizen of the place has written -Judge- McFadden a letter on the subject, inwhich he says the city council of Harrisburg stands m with the clubs, and " that the citi zens are powerless to do anything to drive the" establishments out " of business, f The object of : the letter is to invoke the assistance of Judge McFadden, the writer stating. : that a local option speech made bv the judge in: Harrisburg last year was the best speech the writer had ever heard. The letter t closes with .An appeal to Judge McFadden for ad vice, saying, "we wan't your ad vice and we wan't It right "awayV.; The response from1 this end of the line was a letter" stating that such an establishment?iiL'Pqrvallis was driven out. of - business by the au thorities, and hat -the" authorities of Linn county have it in their pow er to close the concerns if effort is made. A great many people are building curbs along their property and many others are preparing to do so A general lack of informa tion on the subject and inquiry in cident there to leads the times to say that the requirements set up by the city authorities on the subject are laid down in ordinance 208 to be found in the office of the police judge. In brief, they provide that on an 80 foot street the outer edge of the curb slull be 16 feet from the property line; on a 60 foot street, the outer edge of the curb shall be 12 feet from the property line, and m each instance the suiface of the curb shall be on a level with the side walk. ; A team and wagon passing at full speed along the street and with no driver to guide the cara van, was a scene on Main street yesterday morning. The horses ran south to Philip's blacksmith shop where they were stopped be fore serious damage had been done. A buggy belonging to W. Porter stood at the shop while the horse was being shod inside, and and the wagon collided with the lighter vehicle with the result that the latter is in the shop for repairs. The runaways belong to I,. I. Brooks. m The complaint by farmers town about lack of rain grows louder daily. Seed can be sown but won't generate. It has become too dry to plough. Grain sewn In the last two or three weeks half sprouts. Many farmers will fail to get in the amount of acerage that was desired, a fact that will to a certain degree, shorten the output. The one comfort in the situation is that it never fails to rain in Oregon . when rain is necessary, and it will come around alright this time, in due season. ' Wool is 20 cents in the local market.A few small lots are selling at that figure but no large lots are offered . : Trade , paper s predict , that the operations in wool will be later .-. than usual , this : season. Growers who. sold last . year at 25 and the year before at- larger fig ures will hot. be in a, hurry tc ac cept,26 cents, and the remit will be that big trading will -t not take place until the season is far advanc ed' ' .,; , ' ; Struggling-. homeseekers from the- East '7 continue ;i to arrive - in town, though in . fewer : numbsrs than a- few weeks ago. The colo nist's -rates went out ofi i. effect at the end,of. April, and will .not be in vogue again until -autumn. Many of those, however.who came during March and April are still traveling over the Coast,- looking, for loca tions.' .Rear estate agents believe there will continue to be trading in lands, farms and -city - property throughout the summer. The OAC debaters returned Thursday from Pullman, where they met the Washington State Col lege team in a discussion of the. Monroe doctrine. The Washing tonians were victorious. The Ore--gon boys were delayed ecroute and-1, the debate took place Tuesday ev ening instead of Monday as sched- -uled. Judges had to be ecnred, other than those that had been agreed on, and were a minister from Moscow, Idaho, a protessot. in the University of Idaho and ar citizen of Pullman. The OAC -mendeiended the Monroe doctrine, . but were overcome by their oppo nents. Communication has been estab lished between Corvallis and Port land over the Independent Tele phone system. The first through conversation took place Wednesday afternoon. The Times usedtheT line to Portland iu conversation with Mr. Tucker, general manager- of the Portland system, and the conversation was very distinct. The line U not yet ready to do business with the general public, but will be: in perhaps a week. The rates have not been fixed and cannot yet be announced. The line used is not the permanent one that will ulti mately be in service. The perma nent lines of the company are only built to Jefferson, having reached that place yesterday. From there: to Albany the talking was over the regular Independent line built some time ago for local business. The construction gang is rapidly cover in 2 the stretch, and expect to reach but! Albany within 10 days with five complete circuits, or 10 lines all of copper and built in the most perfect manner known to the art. When Albany is reached, a construction force will at once begin building new lines through to Corvallis.. This will require only a short time. In the test made yesterday, the Alsea office was in conversation with Portlaud. and the communi cation was perfect. Tests were al so made from Portlind to Scio, t 1 t . . : m . I I 1 . Shedd, and many other central Willamette towns. In Portland the Independents have orders for 15,000 phones. Three thousand are installed and in daily operation, and others are giing in fS fast as the force can in,, stall them. As everybody knows the Portland svstem is automatic, which means, that there are no girls in the central office. tVe switching being auiomatic. W- DeVarney is in charge of the field operations, which, as is well known in this sec tion of country, means , vigorou operations and a . perfect . service. He is one of the . most ' extraordin ary men in hisline in the country. When permanently completed talk ing from Albany and Coryallis to Portland will be direc without the vexations delays of switching at varipus points betwetn the two places. ' -
