The change was made yesterday, the 1st inst, and a general re-arranging of the es tablishment is going on under the new owner.

Corvallis not Behind in this Onward Movement. iew brick buildings. Several Residences on the Rise the School House at the State Agricultural Collage. "Everything is done with a gim let in Corvallis," said a certain gentleman to a Gazette reporter, while seated in front of the Occi dental hotel one day this week. "How so? What do you mean?" asked the reporter. "Oh, well, instead of going ahead rapidly and booming the town every thing has a dull appearance, just like trying to bore a large hole with a gimlet instead of an auger." "All right There may be a point to what you have just said, bullet's see if it is true," said the pencil-shover and he in company wite another person took in the city. - Beginning here it is noticed that a general repairing of side and cross walks seems to be going on all over the city which, together with the 300 loads ot gravel that were ordered placed on the differ ent streets by the city council, shows a spirit of improvement that never was noticed before. There is the new 2-story brick building being erected on the northwest corner of Second and Madison streets, for L. G. Kline. Its architecture will be very nice and will improve the appearance of things ereatlv in this part of the citv when completed. It is learned that every room in the second story has been rented already. The entrance to the second floor being on the' south side. The first floor will be occu pied by J. D. Clark for his tirl and hardware store. . f Just a little farther up. the street and nearly in front of th3 postoffica is the new ' building 'of N. B. A very '8. Although there is not much new brick in it on ac count of using the walls of the buildings on the north and south sides, it will be an improvement to be classed with "new" bricks. The front will be of iron and glass and galvanized iron fancy work at ! the top. When completed the store room will be used by Irvine. & Helm for their boot and shoe business, r As before announced Simon L. Kline may erect a 2 -story brick building on his forty-seven foot front lately purchased from J. Halliday, and situated just south of Rose Bros.' cigar factory. Should he do this very likely the cigar men will join in as also M. A. Canan, proprietor of the Occidental hotel, and extend the brickwork a few feet more and onto the south side of the hotel This will give nve . large . rooms The onlv thins preventing this bllii2 done is the" scarcify of building material. . This reporter has also learned that Mr. Zierolf, who owns the woqden buildings occupied by Roberts' jewelry store and ZierolPs bakery, is thinking some of moving the present structures away and putting in new ones with walls of brick. Should he do this then there would be nearly a solid row of bricks the length of that block. Down this Main or Second street to the north finds the building occupied by Albrecht's saloon and Thompson & Nelson's wall paper store, receiving a couple of ' new coats of paint, and the same is be ing applied to the store room of Nick Baesen's opposite the Ex change hotel. Every little helps; even new paint applied right will help show off a business street to good advantage. Up the same thoroughfare to the south a new wooden building of twenty-four feet front and extend- back nearly the length : of a lot is being erected for S. B. Graham, the photographer, on his property on the west side of the street Mr. Graham is doing a thriving business in his line and sees the necessity of having more room. The house, near the reading room has been moved -back and will have a new front added on to it before fall arrives. This is owned by E. W. Fisher. - A third story has just been com pleted on the rear, of the Occi dental hotel and now gives Mine Host Canan fourteen more rooms to accommodate the traveling public. . J. , Mason's new woodshed is very neatly built and shows that "Joshua" is a carpenter from Broadalley hims3lf. In conversa tion with him he says that a good portion of the buildings in Corvallis contain some of his handiwork, he having been here for the past thirty-two years. A new residence is under con struction near R. Kiger's place on Washington street Mr. Hukell has a new house nearly finished, which is situated near the O. & C. depot It is of a one-story square design witn a half basement S. T. Jeffreys has a fine large residence all roofed and ssded in on the corner of the Mock just west of the new school house. It has a stone foundation costing over $100, and will set off his two lots in great style. uounty Judge Hoiegate now bobs up serenely and is having his residence remodeled. The kitchen portion has been cut away and moved to the north side of his lot leaving the front room which will be moved back and a new front built thereon. The judge has been contemplating this improvement quite awhile and he is also going to do away with that "cyclone" fence and have a bran new one to surround his property. , Thos. Whitehorn's house, that he purchased last week, situated two blocks north ot the court house, is undergoing sdnie changes and Tommy says work will not be stopped on it until it is made a thing of beauty. He has to have something nice, you know, for that boy baby of his. The Episcopal church. is now nearly completed and adds another laurel to the beauty of Corvallis. Its architecture is something after the style of a cathedral of olden times. The framework of the second story of Corvallis' J new twenty thousand dollar school house is now up and the other work on the building is being pushed right along. , The contract calls for its completion by November 1st. - The octagon barn on the agricul tural college farm is nearing com pletion, and the framework for the mechanical hall is all up. The material for the dormitory build ing, between the mechanical hall and the college, is mostly on the ground, and work will soon be rushing on its erection. Besides all the above improve ments and new buildiugs, numer ous small jobs have been done all over the city in the way of fixing up. Paint has been spread in every direction. S. N. "Wilkins has had five men busy for over two months attending to the or ders he has received for painting and paperhanging, and the other boss painters have been rushed in the same manner. Well, to make a long story short, it looks as though; the work has been done with the augur instead of the gimlet. Thb Best Yet. Mr. Glenn, whose farm is one and one-half miles over the river in Polk county, has a field of wheat which produced fifty -six bushels to the acre . by machine measure, says the Salem Journal. The gentleman who reported this says it will be about sixty bushels to the acre by weight This is the best crop reported from Folk county this season. - T. C.

P. railroads just north of this city, about 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and burned up abouf ten acres of oats in the shock and a considerable amount of fencing with some ties be longing to tbe O. fc C. company. It evidently was started by a spark from the locomotive of tho 12:25 passenger train from Portland. The only thing preventing it doing more damage was not getting over the Oregon Pacific track.
