The street railway is the next great thing for Corvallis. Let her move. Always room for one more. Don't do anything to injure the projected street railway. It is just such movements that will put Corvallis on the "liccity" list. Salem two years ago did not have an inch of street railway; now she has nearly five miles, with two more in course of construction. The projected street railway is not altogether for the purpose of "boom ing" certain additions in and around Corvallis; it will benefit every one. People from other places who have capital will begin to notice that this city is waking up and will come here for the purpose of investing and lo cating. It will all help, will it not? When the idea of Corvallis being lighted by electricity was first put forth do you remember how certain citizens jeered at it? They now sneak around "with their tails hanging close behind them." Mr. Hurd went to the trouble and expense of setting up an electric light plant, and the patronage he has received has justified him to consider the question of making more improve-1 ments in this line. And this is the way those very same mossbacks are treating the street railway question; after it has been constructed then theyn will laugh out of the other corner of their tobacco-stained mouths. THE PAST EZECT10AS. The democracy elected their gov. ernor in Iowa and Ohio, the rest of the ticket carried by the republicans. On the morning after an election the demo crats are always addicted to hurrahing over victories which they have not won. They are like the Irishman who had his laugh first at the fun he was about to have rubbing the nose of a wild bull in the dust. There seems to be small cause for joy on the democratic Bide since the accurate results of the 4th inst. In "off' years it might be said that elections have very little sig nificance m the national issue. Per sonal preferences and local issues gen erally break down all party ilnes and all party estimates are set adrift. Towa is a good example. It gave the Har rison election a large majority last year, and on a national issue it is a safe re publican state to-day. But in the last election all forecasts were changed by a local issue, and which will not help the national democratic party. A repub lican senator will still go up from Iowa as, on joint ballot, the legislature is still republican. . New York ditto Foraker was beaten for governor cf Ohio, no doubt, by the liquor interests and on account of his being a "third termer," bui this does not affect na tional matters in the least. Massachu setts was the only state at the late elec tion in which a national issue was made there the issue was the tariff and the republicans carried the day by a large majority. Thus, there is no cause for much re joicing on the part of our fellow politi cioners, and the grand old republican party is all right for 1892. Letters.

A blacksmith named Knight, who resides in Corvallis, imbilied too freely of the flow ing bowl one night last week and, on going home, thought he would give his wife to understand that he was "boss of the ranch." but she wouldn't have it that way and, grab bing a knife, gave him a slash across the left arm which soon quieted him. The wound was dressed by a physician, and it will be a very cold night before Mr. Kuight tries any more such capers with his frow. Wm. Grant, of below Newport, was in Corvallis this week. He is negotiating for the purchase of another piece of property south of his former home and neac Seal Rocks. H.

This morning, just as the South ern Pacific had landed a lot of passengers at the west pontoon of the F-street ferry, a chubby little newsboy ran up to a wooly looking individual, and confronted him with a query: "Oregonian, sir?" "No, not by a jug full, you little devil, I'm just in from Calaforny," replied the thoroughly disgusted traveler, as he went off muttering, 'Taken lor a webfoot b' gosh." Telegram. Nov. 1. G. R.

SELLM OUT mm FRESH CORVALLIS ri 1 OT In JOB'S ADDITION to the City of Corvallis. ("Fifteqn Minutes Walk from Business Center, Ten Minutes walk from New Public School and Court House. The south west portion of the Addition is within two blocks of the State Agricultural College. This most delightfully located TRACT of LAND Immediately adjoining Corvallis on the northwest was pur chased by a syndicate who have platted and laid it out in town lots and blocks, and is now placed upon the market. The tract embraces seventy-five acres of rich land, there being just suffi cient slope to insure good drainage. The entire tract lias been highly cultivated for years. It is the FINEST RESIDENCE PROPERTY Now on the Market, and the fact that the growth of ths city both in public buildings and private residences is in the direction or this property insures a rapid increase in values. gffCorvallis spent in public improvement alone the present yenr $105,000, not to mention private buildings. The erection of three substantial brick edifices, a large steam flouring mill, a block otelegant cottages (by outside capital) certain to be built the com ing season, with a canning establishment and other enterprises receiving favorable con sideration, speak well lor the development of the city. The long deterred extension ot the Southern Pacific Company's road to a junction with the main line, seems assured the coming season, and that the West Side will then become the main line seems equally certain. Then indeed will this side of the valley experience such a growth and corres ponding increase in values of property as she has never yet known. This is the history of the East Side, and is sure to be ours. That Corvallis will maintain her posii ion as the leading city on the West Side no one can doubt. The State Agricultural College would in itself be an important factor in the growth ot any community, requiring lor its main tenance large and increasing sums each year, and drawing to our city hundreds of families to avail themselves of our superior educational facilities. The low prices of all classes of Real Estate as compared with some of the much-lalked-of "Boom Towns" cannot tail to attract capital, and a consequent enhancement of all values will result. It is the intention of thecompany (and it possesses both the ability and will) to make Job's addition worthy the attention of both the home-seeker and the investor. The unsurpassed location, within a few minutes' walk of the business centre, schools, public buildings, etc., excellent drain age, magnificent views, etc., combine to make it specia'ly desirable as residence propertv while the investor can not fail to net a handsome profit. The property is laid oil" in blocks 200x300 ft.; lots 50x100 It. The central block in the addition is reserved and will be laid out as a public park and planted in ornamental trees and shrubbery. The com pany have also reserved land for an electric-light station, proposing so soon as a sufficient number of lots are sold and residences erected to operate a small plant (arc system) for street lighting. The Corvallis Water Company have agreed to extend their mains through this addition when needed. Other improvements tending to increase the value of the property are contemplated. ELEGANT RESIDENCE AND FIVE ACRES OF LAND Jpfiy'Ineliidei in this addition and facing immediately on the county road is a hand some two-story residence, of ten rooms, with fruit-house, wood-house, barn, etc., together with five acres of land; that immediately surrounding the house is beautifully laid out in shrubbery, ornamental trees and garden, the balance being a fine orchard of cherries, pears, apples, etc Also an abundance of blackberries, raspberries and other small fruits. The company propose making this a free gift to purchasers of lots in Job's addition, every Jot carrying with it one chance in the drawing, to take place when all the lots are sold, for this elegant property, which will be conducted in such manner as the owners of the lots may elect and a warranty deed for the property given the person drawing it. DON'T LOSE THIS OPPORTUNITY Of securing choice residence property at first prices. Lots are already selling rapidly and are sure to advance before spring. TITLE PERFECT; Easy PAYMENTS.
