Noth ing like advertising when anything is need ed. George Eglin returned from Portland em Monday. He says enquiries down there bout Corvallis real estate are quite numer ous. Regular quarterly meeting services will be held next Sunday at the M. E. church By the pastor assisted by Rev. G. W. Ben nett. t The manager of Job's addition to Cor vallis has something to say to you in this issue of the Gazette. Look on the third Ff?e. S. N. Wilkins was in Portland on Satur day last, looking after stock of holiday goodS for his establishment in the postoifice building. Twenty-eight dollars were the proceeds of the supper at Judge Burnett 8 on Saturday evening. This will be used in the purchase ef an organ. A. F. Hershner's horse took a short spin, with the delivery wagon, of his own accord on Tuesday forenoon. But little damage was the result. A boom is a temporary creation of ficti oiotu values. In Corvallis the activity is a permanent development of actual value. That's the difference. The old Chambers' house on Eighth and Jackson streets, now owned by David Os ; barn, deputy sheriff, is being remodeled j into a neat residence. , The first steamboat to navigate the Wi' Tamette above Corvallis this season of '89 '90, was the Modoc, of the O. R. & N. line, en Tuesday, December 3rd. Evangelical Church. Preaching by the pastor at Evergreen on Saturday evening, at Beulah on Sabbath at 10:30 a. m., and Here in Corvallis at 7 p. m. Sunday school t 3. p. m. An gnat Hodes has an excellent line of pocket cutlery, meerschaum pipes, nnd cigar holders, which would make very nice Christmas presents for somebody. Call and see them. Episcopal church, Corvallis, Services on Sunday at 11 a. m. and 7 p. m. Sunday school on Sunday morning at 9:45. Choir practice on Saturday evening at 730. All are eordially invited. Two runway Indian boys from the Chemawa school were captured in this city ii Tuesday by Scrafford, the deputy marshal. An employe of that institution eame up and took charge of them Wednes day. It took two men, sheriff and deputy, the ther day to convey an 18-year old shackled eolored convict to the penitentiary from Poitland. The deputy should have re mained at home. It seems like too much extravagance. A Polk county man received a "shivaree" Because he married within a month after his first wife's death. He told the sere aaders that he didn't think it showed good taste to come banging around a man's house o soon after a funeral. D.Howell, the jeweler, received a dis patch on Saturday calling him to Oregon ity to be at the bedside of his brother who was reported as very ilL He took the train for Albany that morning. Henry Wortham is filling his place in T. Graham's drug store William B. Ladue. of Salem, has received the appointment as cadet to West Point from Oregon. As alternates, in case Ladua does not accept, Congressman Hermann has named) Harold B. Fiake, of Salem and Hayward H. RiddelL, of The Dalles. Both ef these are of the capital city originally. The city election at Philomath on Mon- Jn.v resulteil aa follows: Mayor. J. J. - Bryan; Recorder, W. K. Boles; Maishal, N. P- Newton; Treasurer, J. L. Akin; Councilmen, 1st ward, L. N. Price and G. Vi. RoSi2nd ward, J. J. Finlaysen and N. W. Allen; 3d ward, Prof. Sheak and K L. Dixon. Great Reduction in Carpets. In order to close out my stock of carpets, I shall offer them to the public at a reduction of 10 per cent, off the regular price for the next 60 days: All-wool three ply, at 90 cents; all-wool two ply, at 6" cents; Roxbury Brussels at 90 cents; and all others at re duced figures. Philip Weber. An automatic steam engine of sixty-five horse power, together with boiler sufficient ly large to supply steam, has been bargained for by the company now conducting the new flouring mill to be used in operating the machinery and turning the wheat into "hard cash." Russell & Co., of Portland, was the firm from which the engine was procured. A man in Salem, who has just retired from business of a number of years and whose stock amounted to several thousands, says he never carried one cent of insurance. He thinks there is no need of it; he certainly has been lucky. And, Ye(a)t.ou the very next time he branches out again the fiery elements may give him a touch. Beginning on Thursday morning, Decem ber 26th, and continuing for three days will occur the teachers' institute for the second judicial district. Superintendent McElroy thinks that at least 150 teachers will be in attendance, besides several county superin tendents. All Corvallisites should do all in their oower to receive the visitors in a cordial way. A catalogue from the Silsby steam tire engine company has been received at the Gazette office. In looking it over it is noticed that there are nearly 900 engines of this make now in use all over the country . It will soou be time for Corvallis to be pro tected from the fiery elements by having a steam fire engiue, and probably no better make of machines exist than those of the Silsby company. There will be regular services at the Congregational church next Sunday at 11 a. m. and 7:15 p. m. Seats free and room for all. Wesley Todd will receive per next steamer a most superb stock of Christ mas candies and notions. Remember him when you desire anything in his line. By the kindness of the Job brothers, the Presbyterians will occupy the city hall for a few Sabbaths while their church is undergoing repairs. Services next Sabbath in the hall at the usual hour morning and evening. Preach ing by tne pastor. The Sabbath school will meet at the same place at 10 a. in. J. H. Nicholas has something to say in an advertisement in another column of the Gazette about "Holiday Gifts." If yon want something you know will suit the one to whom your purchase is given, go right out and secure one of his lots in block 27 one block from new school house. They are not "out in the country," On Wednesday in an attempt to pass the steamer Modoc on the river below Indejendeiice, in what is known as Brown's shut", the Hoag ran against her doing considerable damage to the forward part of the lower deck and scratching the hull slightly. This is the result of being allowed to race, and certainly is a narrow escape for either boat from being sunk. The childrens' mission band (Busy Workers) of the Piesbyteiiari church. have made some articles of fancy work suitable for Christmas gifts and on Wednesday evening next at the parsonage will offer these articles for sale. At that time this band, assisted by the young ladies missionary society, will give a lunch at the parsonage Tickets for the entertainment will be sold by the children and it is hoped that they will be liberally patronized. To Seattle. Rev. T. S. Reasoner and wife came in from their home near Oak Ridge last Saturday and re mained until Tuesday when they staited for Seattle, Wash., to make the.:r home in the future with their daughter, Mrs Hawley, who resides in that city. "Father Keasoner wps born in' Kentucky in 1799; was dained a Presbyterian minister in 1833; came to Oregon in 1851, and from that time to the present has lived in the state and for many years in the vicinity of Corvallis. He is a noble specimen of humanity physically as well as spiritually. Tall, straight al most unbent m form, though lie car ries the weight of more than ninety years. His eye undimmed; his voice unbroken, and his stt-p quite firm Nobly has he wrought as a Christian man and minister and his years are full of honored deeds. May he score one hundred years is the wish of host of friends. For Sixty Days. In order to make room for new stock to arrive soon, I will sell wall paper at prices that will justify house owners in buy ing now. Remember this is no clos ing out sale. S. N. Wilkins tf; IT CERTAIKLY1S CONTAGIOUS! Thirty-two Feet Front on Sec ond Street on the List. MORE SUBURBAN SALES. Portland, Albany, and Kugene Cap italists are Investing in Cor vallis 50xlOOs. Another lively week in real estate sales has come and gone since the last issue of the Gazette. Although the transactions have not been as numer- cus as in the last report, the prices. paid have been much larger. On Saturday forenoon the brick building ot thirty-two teet iront the tin store, all owned by Jacob Web- ber, were sold to John R. Bryson for $10,500. It has been learned that this purchase was done with money trom Albany capitalists During the afternoon, Oliver Witham srtlrl fit tv cpvpn and one-half acres situated northwest of Corvallis about two miles, to W. A. Wells, the sum noA iino tfi nnn t""" "m"r f I On Saturday the sale of twenty six lots in Job's addition was completed, they being taken by Portland &nd Eugene parties. And Wednesday thirty-two more were also sold, since which 4time enough more have been IsnncoJ rf tn molra tha lnt:il number I Avpntv-fiw. for the week. Anion the buyers were J. M. Nolan, Jos. D. Johnson, and Poitland men. At an administratrix's sale of the estate of Jehiel S. Kendall, which oc- curred on the 30th inst., lot 7in block 6 of Corvallis, where the Exchange hotel now stands, being 50x100 feetf was bid in by F. M. Johnson for $1,585.

The price paid could not be learned, but it is known that Mr. K. has asked $8,000 for it. Cok also sold the house and three lots on north- east corner of Monroe and 9th street to Mr. Huve. of Albany, price paid $1,100. Opened on Dec. 2, Promptly at 9 o'clock on last Monday morn- ing the public schools of Corvallis opened lor the first time in the new edifice just completed for that purpose. Long belore this hour the hundreds of scholars began to wend their way towards their new quarters of learning so impatient were they to get a glimpse of its inside and to have first choice of seats. New Valks have been laid on three sides of the sauare on which the building 6tands and, duriiis recesses, the pupils are compelled to exercise on them and not on the ground, thus pro tecting the floors of the different rooms from becoming besmeared with mud. With the excellent corps of teachers, well-drilled pupils, and splendid structure erected, what more is desired. Great credit is due the directors for their efforts in the matter, and to A. W. Scott, of Portland, should the honor be bestowed for the construction. Yet, the principal one in the whole thing is the architect and he is Charles Ewart ot Corvallis. One-Third Interest SoLD.-The electric light works of Corvallis are now owned by HunTA Por- ter, the latter partv having pur chased a one-third interest in them on Friday last. Several improve ments will bo made in the plant by adding a new boiler and engine of greater power and probably plsc ing in a dynamo that will furnish arc lights for hshtiug the streets arrived Saturday afternoon with some up freight and before leaving Monday morning loaded on 8,500 leet of lumber at the sawmill here, to be taken to Portland. The Modoc arrived about midnight on Monday and went on up to Finley's warehouse after grain. Tuesday morning the Orient touched the wharf here and filled her lower deck with 120 tons of wheat to be taken down the river. In the afternoon ' the Hoag blew her whistle for landing at this city. She had a considerable amount of freight for merchants of Corvallis and grain to be taken to 'Frisco. About 9:30 a. m. Wednesday she started down with 100 tons of grain aboard. jr0R i'wo Nights. The Jinglers, a coiored jubilee concert company 0fChicairo. have been secured by the WomanB Reiief Corps, No. 7, of Corvallis, to give concerts on the nights of December 17 and 18, in the city hall. It is the desire of the corps to increase their funds and in having "The Jinglers" here two nights they think such can be done, as each entertainment will b interestinc and enjoyable. Six " - - members, compose the company The reserved seats have been placed on sale at 75 cents, and gen- eTa admission 50 cents. Posters wiji goon jje distributed which will iyQ further particulars.
