THE CORVALLIS GAZETTE, FRIDAY, JULY II, IS90.
Hurrah for the Motor Line!
Corvallis to Have a System' of
Rapid Transit!:
A BIG STEP FORWARD.
When the Corvallis Street Railway
Go. was organized it was the desire of
the projectors to build the line to both
the depots andi to-the State Agricultural
College, but as the enterprise was a new
one and ouf citizens had doubts about
even the first section being built, it was
impossible- at that time to secure suf
ficient capital to do so. The first sec
tion, however, was built and has been
in operation nearly a month, the re
ceipts showing good interest on the
capital invested over and above ex
penses. Recently the company enter
ed into negotiations for the purpose
of placing bonds to the amount of
$10,000 for the purpose of making
these extensions, and have been suc
cessful, upon condition that stock in
addition to that already taken, be sub
scribed to the amount of $5000. Of
this amount $1,950 has already been
pledged leaving $3,150 yet to be sub
scribed. A committee of our leading
citizens have taken the matter in hand,
and expect to secure this, sum early
the coming week. The- rails, motor
cars, etc., will be ordered at once, and
the entire system can be in operation
by the end of September. The ' cars,
f which there will be two-, will, be
built to order and of handsome design
and finish, being about twice the size
of the present horse car and costing
about $3j000 each. The entire ma
chinery for running the car occupies a
space about the size of the front plat
form, being enclosed, crude oil being
used as fuel, in about the same man
ner as a gasolina stove, and all smoke
nd steam being consumed. The ex
pense of operating these cars is very
little and we understand they are be
ing substituted for electric cars in many
places, being less expensive to operate
nd safer. This system of rapid
transit will not only pay as an invest
ment, but will be an immense benefit
in developing suburban property.
There are many beautiful sites for
homes in the fine tracts within a radius
of a half a mile of the college and
there is no doubt that with a motor
fine in operation many handsome resi
dences will go up on "Nob Hill."
There?are also some very choice tracts
adjacent to the O. P. depot, the value
f which will be greatly enhanced by
the building-of this road. It rs a well
known fact that motor lines are among
the very best paying properties, and
those talcing stock are certain of good
interest on their money at present, and
ateady increase in the value of their
stock.
It is proposed immediatery on the
subscription, of $3,100 to hold a meeting
of the stockholders and increase the
present board of directors, which con
sists of five, to nine or twelve, as the
stockholders may deem best, so that alt
interests may be represented. ' Again
we say Hurrah for the motor line!
Died. At the residence of Mrs.
Martha Mcore in this city, Saturday
morning, June 28th, Ada Louisa,
youngest child of Mr. David Ash,
aged 2 years, i months and 4 days.
Ada's mother died when she was but
a, few days old, when Mrs. Moore took
her and has beers both mother and
father to her, caring for her with the
tenderest care and most earnest solici
tude.. She was unusually bright and
attractive and soon won the affections
f her foster mother and the entire
family. But disease was unrelenting
in its grasp upon her little frail body
and after suffering more than two
weeks most intensely she died. Her
funeral was attended by Dr. Thomp
son and she was laid to rest Sabbath
the 29th of June, in Oak Ridge cenie
tery beside her mother.
State Horticultural Society.
The State Horticultural Society held an
interesting session in this city on Tues
day and Wednesday of this week and
the Gazette was to be furnished with
the proceedings, but for some reason
eur reporter failed to materialize at the
last moment, hence we were knocked
out for this week. Many prominent
horticulturists from all parts of the
state were present, among whom were
R. SI Wallace of Salem, Jay Blain of
Linn county,. J. D. Whitman of Med
fbrd, J. R. Card well, Col. E. Allen, of
Portland, S. A. Clark of Salem, Oen.
Varney of The Dalles, J. Settlemier of
Wfcodburn, K R. Lake and F. L.
Washburn of Corvallis, and others.
Ice Cream Social. The ladies of
the M. E. church will give a- sociable
at the residence of W. B. Chase on
Tuesday evening, July 15th. Admis
sion 25 cents, children half price.
Cake, ice cream and a good' social time
guaranteed. By order committee.
Sold. The steamer Walluski, seiz
ed at Yaquina bay several weeks ago
for carrying more passengers than the
law allows, was sold at Toledo last
Tuesday by Deputy United States
Marshal Miller, of Portland, to Dan
O'Grady for $2,100, he being the
highest bidder.
New Uniforms. The new uniforms
for the Corvallis band arrived last
Monday. The suits are navy blue
trimmed with gold braid, with caps to
match. The boys will make a fine ap
pearance in them and it is to be hoped
that they will make an effort to redeem
frhe reputation Corvallis once had as
having the best band in the state.
Read. The first reduction sale of
the season. Commencing with Satur
day, July 12th, J. M. Nolan will mike
a reduction sale on all summer goods,
consisting of dress goods, silks, velvets,
lawns, wraps, jackets and blouses, lace
flouncing, parasols, etc. They must
be sold to make room. Remember
the place, Nolan's one price cash store.
Great bargains.
New Quarters. Last Monday T.
C. Case moved into his new quarters,
e "Occidental Shaving Parlors." He
now has the neatest barber shop and
bath rooms in the city. He also fitted
up a special bath room for ladies. His
advertisement in another column an
nounces that he makes a a specialty of
ladies Lair cutting and champooing.
Give him a call.
Will be Here. The new musical
comedy "A Pair of Jacks' will be
presented at Job's Theatre by a strong
company under the management of
Will O. Wheeler on or about July 21.
This is a new and laughable comedy,
and the company have had crowded
houses wherever they have presented
it. The name of the play in itself
would suggest that they have a good
pair to draw to.
Fine Potatoes. Last Wednesday
Ed Cliue called at the Gazette office
and left a peck of new potatoes. They
are of the Evert variety and are the
finest potatoes the writer has seen this
season, being very large and of uni
form size and excellent flavor. Mr.
Cline informs us that this variety pro
duces very abundantly and that the
potatoes brought were equivalent to
the yield of only one hill.
Firemen Election. The Young
America Engine Co. met at their hall
Monday evening and elected their
officers for the ensuing year, as follows:
M. S. Neugass, president; James Cau
thorn, vice president; Mat Irvin, fore
man; Chas. Young, first assistant fore
man; D. S. Cameron, foreman hose
team; Lawrence Helm, secretary; Mr.
Robin, financial secretary; Telt Bur
nett, treasurer; Bob Johnson, D. S.
Cameron and Telt Burnett, fire dele
gates. Runaway. Last Monday evening
George Bigham undertook to drive his
pony to a cart but it didn't work.
The horse kicked the front of the cart
to pieces and struck out at a gate that
would do credit to a dog with a bunch
of fire crackers attached to its tail, and
ran to the south end of Main street
where it turned and ran np one of the
back streets and took the road for
Wells Station, but before arriving at
the latter place the pony and cart were
overtaken' by two young men on horse
back, who brought them back to the
city. Soda says the damage was slight
but. that next time he would rather
alight from his cart in a more graceful
manner.
Our Hose Team. Corvallis hose
team met on Tuesday evening and de
cided to compete for the prizes at
Spokane Falls the first of September.
Ths prizes are $5000 divided as fol
lows: Four first prizes of $1000 each,
remaining $1000 divided in eight
second and third prizes. When it is
remembered that our team last year
ran third and fourth with 12 of the
fleetest teams ever gathered on the Pa
cific coast and tied with- the crack
team of Tacoma which was headed by
such men as Gibson, and Bathome, we
certainly eught to expect good results
this yean. As the boys propose: to
strengthen their team and make it bet
ter than ever before our citizens ought
to give the boys their hearty support
for this is all the compensation they
get for their hard and dangerous work.
A GREAT PARADE.

geant of the John Robinson show at

By furnishing some rooms up stairs
we hope to pay running expenses and
be able to keep the library up better,
this we can do provided we can keep
the rooms rented. At present we have
two furnished rooms and one unfur
nished room vacant, we would be ex
ceedingly glad to have them occupied.
The reading room should be made
move attractive, a bright carpet, more
comfortable chairs are desirable. The
room needs paint, more shelves, more
good books. A good many loads of
wood will be needed the coming year.
We have some favors in the shape of
of donations of oil from Mr. Paddock
and T. Bell, and wood from Mr. Her
bert Nash. We should be glad if
others would follow their example.
There is to be found in reading
matter 28 weeklies, 12 monthlies.
There has been 100 new books added
during the past 6 months.
That the room has been greatly ap
preciated by strangers in our city we
have abundant proof, and we bespeak
for this institution the hearty co opera
tion of our citizens.
Step in and look at the reading
matter. Committee.
An Oregon Exhibit. One of Ore
gon's commissioners to the World's
fair, M. Wilkins, of Eugene, has re
turned from the meeting of the com
missioners at Chicago and says the fair
is going to be a great success. All the
indications point that way. Every
state and territory was represented at
the recent meeting. He thinks Ore
gon must send an exhibit and urges
that a worthy one be prepared. In
speaking of the matter he said; "Ore
gon is lecognized in- the east. The
people there have at last found out that
there is a great Pacific coast. It rests
with the state to say what kind of an
exhibition we should make. I shall'
ask for space outside the pavillion to
make a good exhibit California wants
ten. acres and will spend $1,000,000
for an exhibit, but I do not care how
much it spends, it eannot outdo Ore
gon. California may get away with us
in quantity, " but not' in quality.. Our
hard woods beat the world and we have
larger and better fruit than California.
We ought to make a fine show of our
mineral wealth' and our grains and
grasses, which ha ve no superior."
