CORVALLIS, OR., NOV. 15, 1889.
Hip! hurrah!! 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.

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

NOT AN OREGONIAN. .
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."

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.
