The manager of Job's addition to Cor

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,

Here in Corvallis at 7 p. m. Sunday school

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.

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;

Another lively week in real estate

transactions have not been as numer-
cus as in the last report, the prices.
paid have been much larger.
On Saturday forenoon the brick

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

eTa admission 50 cents. Posters
