Real estate still continues . to change hands, and increase in value in Corvallis and vicinity. Secretary "Wind om has decided that no revenue licenses can be granted for the retailing of liquor in Oklahoma. The secretary base3 his decision upon the fact that liquor cannot get into the territory without passing, over In dian Territory which is illegal. The license to sell liquor in Okla homa would therefore be nothing less than'permission to sell a con traband article. The ruling is. an excellent one for the peace and order of the newly occupied coun try. The McMinnville Reporter ap peared with its last issue as a de scriptive edition of that city and Yamhill county. It is an eighl page size, full of solid reading matter, is gotten up in a neat shape, and displays evidence that it took hard labor to do it. Eight thousand copies is the number -printed which will be of exceed ingly great benefit to that portion cf the valley when they are dis tributed in the eastern states. Mr. Glass, its proprietor, is a rus tier, and deserves great credit for this work. General Schofield, who was the chief marshal of the centennial parade at New York had an army of over 40,000 men under his com mand. The different states were represented by. uniformed troops as follows: New York, 13,000 officers and men; Pennsylvania, 8000; New Jersey, 3700; Ohio, 3500; Massachusetts, 1500; New Hampshire, 10Q0; Deleware, 800; Vermont, 750; District of Colum bia, 700; Connecticut, 600; Mary land, 500; Virginia, 500; Rhode Island, 550; Michigan, 450; South .Carolina, 300; Kansas, 250; Ken tucky 250; North Carolina, 200; Missouri, 200; West Virginia, 200; Florida, 100; .

THREE REFORMS. vertising, The city has spent $1,000 in ad- That is well. Now suppose in response to this invita tion there should come in a hun dred or more seeking hbmes, in vestments, labor. What are the first impressions of our city? Three important reforms are need ed to satisfy new-comers from tasty eastern cities. First, banish the cattle from the streets, they soil the sidewalks, break fences, spoil gardens, trees, and lawns. No good city pre sents such a nuisance. Secondly, round up the streets. The condition of our streets', hon estly;gentlemen,is a disgrace to us. There are ditches full of green scum, from which poisonous va pors rise and drift all over the city to be inhaled by delicate, darling children, beautiful women . and strong men, alike. The street east of L. G. filirre and W. A. Wells is a model, and -the whole city should be like it. A" street commissioner could be busied with a team and helper a whole year upon the streets and sidewalks. There are chuck holes to. fill, rough places to smooth, crossings to make easy, and the cleanliness of the city, to be looked after. Thirdly, the sidewalks are in a wretched condition. There should fee uniformity, evenness, smooth ness. As it is, some planks are crosswise, some endwise and some vertical, steps down where persons often get serious jars, steps, up where toes are pro vokingly stubbed, holes where a person might break a limb, and the city would pay for it. In this country of cheap lum ber there is no excuse for poor sidewalks. Sojourner. HURRAH FOR BIG SIX. The following explains itself, being among the dispatches of Tuesday last. . "San Francisco, April 30. One of the moat touching iucidents of the day was the return to its old home of the Monumental engine ef the Volunteer fire department. After the parade the old veterans turned their back to their headquariers, dragging along with them the old engine sold to Vir ginia City in 1865. The "old Monumental, or "Big Six," as it was generally called, was bought by the Volunteers in 1854, and eleven years ago it was sold'to Virginia City for $4000. Latef . it was bought by the Volunteer department at Corvallis, Ore., for $2000, and there it remainen until last October, w hen it was bought back by the exempts. . - "When"Washington street was reached, the veteran firemen gave one loud hurrah, and ran up the hill, dragging the engine be hind them, while the band played 'Home Again.' When the engine was housed, the company cheered wildly, and Godfrey Fisher made the presentation speech, "H. 1). Hudson, president of the organi nation, replied on behalf of the organization. He said that after an absence of twenty live years the members were glad to wel come back the old engine to its first home. Other memories were also awakened in the hearts of the few remaining veterans by the return of the old engine to its home. "The veterans and their iuvited guests then sat down to a banquet table,, and the remainder of the afternoon was spent in feasting and speech making." Thb Evangelical Conferbnck.
