THE CORVALLIS GAZETTE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 21, 1801.
STILL IN THE LEAD.
CORVALLIS KEEPS PACE WITH THE MARCH
OF PR015R15S3 IX BUILDING.
Notwithstanding tlie fact that Au
gust is the "dull" month of the season
and the cry of "hard times" comes
. from other localities, we march ou in
the line of progress an 1 keep fully up
with towns much larger than our own
in the building line. There has been
no dull season in Corvallis this year,
as far as building is concerned, and
from mesent indications there is not
likelv to be. While it is true that for j
the past two months many of our peo
ple hare been out of town to the sea
side or mountains on their summer
vacation, and the farmers h-ive been
busily engaged with their harvesting,
thus preventing them from coming to
town to do their usual trading, yet
there have been plenty of laboring
men here to keep things lively, and
what is better yet, there has been
enough work to employ all mechanics
who have come knocking at our door
for entrance and work. Still, we have
no "boom" we never had a "boom,"
and what is more we never want one;
but Corvallis is gradually building np.
When business demands or will justify
it our enterprising business men erect
new or enlarge buildings, and as our
population increases the number of
residences increases also. Therefore,
everything is done on a solid business
foundation and there is no chance for
a back-set. We have grown with the
surrounding country and have built no
buildings lor mere show, but every
business house that has been erected
. here was built because it was needed.
The country surrounding ns continues
to grow and we continue to build
business blocks, and of the most im
portant to be erected this season is
THE CARRIAGE FACTORY,
work on which was commenced last
Monday, morning. The ground is be
ing prepared for the foundation and
stone and sand is being hauled. The
lumber has been ordered of the Niaga
ra Mills Company, the first shipment
of which will arrive next week. Mr.
John Sticker returned from the East
last week and has ordered all the
necessary machinery, which will be on
hand as fast as needed. The building
will be pushed to completion as fast
as workmen can do it, and when the
manufacture of wagons and carriages
commences, we will have the only fac
tory of the kind on the Pacific Coast,
and none can doubt but what the
number of vehicles, or a large portion
thereof, that are hereafter purchased
in a radius of several hundred miles in
either direction, will be obtained from
this factory in preference to send
ing East for them. This will afford
tmployment for a large number of
men who will, no doubt, erect homes
here and become permanently located
in this city. This enterprise is a com
mendable one, and there are many
cities much larger than this that would
Have been enthusiastic over their suc
cess, if they could have obtained this
manufacturing institution.
It was through the enterprise of our
business men that the State Agricul
tural College was located here and now
their efforts are seen and appreciated
liy all. The increasing demand for
tuitions in this institution has become
so great that it is necessary to erect
morebuildinsrs to accommodate the
students. The first improvement
necessary this season was to constiuct
a boarding hall for the boys which will
cost about twenty thousand dollars
and is now assuming the shape of a
budding. In addition to the improve
ments at the college farm which we
liave previously mentioned in these
columns, there is to be built a chemi
cal laboratory constructed about 100
vards south of the present college
building, and bids are now advertised
fhr elsewhere in the Gazette. It is
intended to commence work in the
near future and complete the same as
soon as possible.
Mr. Pugh, who drew the plans for the
dormitory of the Oregon Agricultural
College in this city, has just finished
plans for the new city hall to be erect
ed here. The building will be 55x75
feet, two stories and mansard, with a
bell tower. The front will be pi-essed
brick,. trimmed with cut stone, while
fche entire building will be finished in
modem styla with all the latest im
proveinents. The first floor will con-
twin the fire department and jail; the
second floor, council chamber, fire
jnau's Jiall and offices, while the thirid
floor will be left unfinished for ' the
present Work will be commenced
an the building in a very short time,
and when completed it will rank
favorably with many public building in
this vicinity.
Work has been pushing forward

A Perfect Baking Powder.
The constantly growing demand for Dr. Price's
Cream Baking Powder, the standard cream tartar powder
for forty years, is dne to two causes.
FIRST: The extreme care exercised by the manu
facturers to make it perfectly pure, uniform in quality, and
of highest raising power.
SECOND: The recent investigations exposing the
fact that certain other brands of baking powder contain
ammonia and still others that were found to contain.alum.
These unscrupulous manufacturers are being found out,
and the consumers are giving them a wide birth.
Nothing is left to chance in the manufacture of Dr.
Price's Cream Baking Powder. Chemists are employed to
test every ingredient as to purity and strength. Hence;
its marvelous purity and uniformity. Each can is like
every other. It never dissapoints. BEST is ALWAYS
the CHEAPEST.
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is re
ported by all authorities as free from Ammonia,
