They claim to havo ill a aaczt enjoyable trip, but when you ask either of them anything about the city, thoy . act real mad like, and refuse to be interviewed.

These horses were purchased by Mr. Stewart to complete a carload which he intends shipping this week to Tacoma. Clearance or annual sales with some firms continue ths year, round, and cause many people to regard them as advertis ing fakes. Occasionally, however, one finds a firm which sake. its annual sale after the holidays a distinct and regular feature of its busin ess . course. - - With such firms the clearance, sale means something; it is a bona fide affair and their customers, during, suck sales, secures rare bargains. A firm of this kind is Nolan & Callahan. Their annual sale began last Saturday and will contin ue sixty days. The O. C & E. expects to have two boats in operation on the Willamette within a few days. The Wm. M. Hoag was recently refitted in Portland, and has been in active service for a week past The- steamer N. S. Bently is yet under going repairs, but will be completed in a few days.

Hammond, president of the Ore gon Central & Eastern, returned last Saturday from New York, and to an Ore gonian reporter denied most emphati cally the reports that the Southern Pa cific were backing him. Mr.' Hammond also stated that he had been in New York in the interests of both the Astoria Goble enterprise and the O. C & E. road, and that while . absent, he had bout closed a deal for the purchase of a steanaship to be operated between Saa Francisco and Yaqiiina. ' He further re marked that the Farallon, now running on that route, was only chartered . until next May, at which time he expected to supplant it by a steamer owned by the company.

Five thous and three 'hundred' and three tickets, representing as many dollars in cash pur chases,' were placed in a large trunk and carefully shaken up by the judges, before the drawing took place. . - Master Walter Mayo then drew the lucky ticket, number 643. The judges who looked after the details and saw that everything was strictly- on the square, were Bert Bowersox, Gaorge Eglin, Prof. Trine, Henry Stew art and B. W. Johnson.' . The fortunate holder of the winning ticket had not called for his prize at the time of going to press, so his name can not be announced until later. Oh New Year's day, Prof. J. B. Horner and Mr. John Huffman canvassed a por tion of the city in search of homes or work for some young men who are desti tute of means. There are about - thirty stu tests nowpaying their board with work, aad some other students will be compslled to do the same, or return to their homes. One "young man, we are told, was c'ompellsd to take his summer wages in wool which he sent east, where he was swindled out of it Others have been disappointed in. ; various ways. Many of the best students who have gone eut from the O. A. C., made. their way through collage; therefore, any informa tion regarding work or other help for de sarving " students, will, - be thankfully received by either of the gentlemen men tioned above. The annual installation and banquet of the Masonic fraternity of . Corvallis occurred last Friday evening; . Members' of the Blue lodge, Chapter, and Eastern Star, with their wives, were present and together made ah assemblage of over-one hundred persons.

But family arrived here from Lane" county last weak, that was not met with open arms. The family included a 33 ether end three children, and sad to relate they have evidently some to stay. They are relatiyes of "Hubby'' Holcomb f Monroe precinct where they lived for some time at county expenae. A few months ago they moved to Lane county They were domiciled near Junction City, and were cared for by the county. Ac cording .to report the county court of Lans county concluded that a . large bill for their maintenance might be saved by moving them with their effects' back in to this county. This theory was promptly put into effect and the family, together with their belongings, arrived in Corval lis last Wednesday.. A house wtis secured and-a month's rent paid in advance. They -will probably remain here on ex-' pense," unless' the . county officials adopt the. same questionable methods in remov ing them as were employed in bringing them here. - There was a dance down at Mountain View, Monday night, and several Corval lis boys attended. One. of the fellows had made all the necessary arrangements to go, even to asking his fair dulciena to accompany him, but discovered at the last moment 'that he "needed a pair of pantaloons in order to make a creditable appearance. He hadn't" the price of a new pair, Jtut nothing daunted, he looked up John Scfafford, whose generous im pulses make him legitimate, prey of the needy, "ndaiegotiated the loan of his best aijd only pair of - breeches, with the understanding, that they were to be re turnedpright and early the following moruingr ,r John presumed that the ac commodated individual would surely ful fill his promise, tut the breeqhes that he longed for xi ever came back, thus causing John, much against his will, to remain in bed on the next forenoon. About dinner he concluded to no longer endure the suspense, and, making "use of a -pair of his father's cast-off Overalls as a substi tute for; pants, he ambled forth in an ugly humor to search for the man who had so basely deceived him.

Johnson, P. M. . POLITICAL POT-POURRI. Possible County Candidates and . other Political Gossip. People are beginning to disscuss quietly the political outlook.. Of course it is too early for prospective candidates to be making active efforts, but there is evidence that the nominations will not go begging. There seems to be more interest taken as to the pos sible republican nominee then the democrat ic, as the prevailing opinion is that the repub lican county ticket will be easily successful next Juno. Democracy will not succumb, however, without a struggle, and there will no doubt be plenty of competition for places on that parties' ticket. . .. Populists seem to cut no figure in the present speculations, and it is generally believed that they reached their hifrh-wator mark during ths last campaign. Republicans who have been heard to dis cuss the matter are in favor of distributing the offices, and it is hardly likely that both the nominees for sheriff and clork will hail from Corvallis. Among the candidates suggested for sheriff on the republican ticket, are Ed Williams, Monroe; Jako Chambers, Kings Valley; A. B. Newton, Philomath; nenry Dunn, Wil lamstte; Wiu. Knolt-t, Goo. Kglio, Minor Swick. Geo. E. Lilly. Frank Buchanan and W. H. Hartless, of Corvallis. George W. Smith, who made many friends during the last sampaigD, has been urged to make an efforts to secure the ndminatiou, but it is un derstood that he has refused to allow his name to be used. . A number of democrats have been spoken of in connection with the democratic nomi nation, and among them are: Asa Alexan der, J. L. Skipton, Willard Price, Bufus Skipton, Jesse Walker, Jack Hall, Telt Bur nett and D. A. Osburn, the present -incumbent. It is not knon that Mr. Osburn is a candidate and it is generally understood that he will not be. Mr. Osburn has always tak en the ground, that 2 terms was sufficient for one man, and from tho present political out look it will be easy to put his theory into practice. ... The proposed candidates for clerk are not so numerous. . On the republican side the only ones soriously mentioned are Bert Bow ersox and R. H. Hurton, of Corvallis, and J. . Hunkle, of Philomath. All throe are good men, and any one of them ought to make a good run. ... Ira Hunter will probably secure the nomi nation if his party adheres to its past policy of giving a successful candidate a second nomination. However, he will have some opposition and those most talked of for the place are Emory Herron, of Monroe and E. E.. Wilson and Virgil Walters, the present county recorder. Many rapublicsus consider that . Marion Hayden, of Alsoa, i; entitled to the nomina tion for assessor. " Mr Hay den mado a very creditable mn in '94. Geo. il. McDonald, of Philomath, is also strongly urged for the position. ... " The oaly democrat thus far mentioned for tho asssssorship is E. Skipton, of Philomath. 7or recorder the names of L Beach, N. K.

Holm, of Philo math, ths present incumbent, can probably have the nomination if he desires it, but it is generally understood that ho doesn't want it Others spoken of are, 3. 1. Pratt, Geo. Den man, f. Xf. Bristow, of Corvallis; W. B. Haines, of Philomath, and W. C. Fishor, of Kings Valley. : -: ' Democrats spoken of in connection with this position areS. L. Bryan are W. T. Lee. Benton county's cash will not suffer for want of a guardian. E. M. Davisson, Tho. Samuels and the present official, Frod Clark, have been mentioned as possib'e timber for treasurer, while S. lu Henderson may be on the democratic list. '' For commissioner to succeed P. Rickard. political conversation generally includes Clum Read, of Wells; John Buchanan, of Willamette, and W. -B. Kigsr, of Blodgett. The democratic list for commissioner in cludes P. Rickard, Wesley Hiaton and Ar thur Johnson. " The joint representatives will probably hail from Lincoln county, and it is generally un dors toad that Hon. John Daly will be giv en the nomination. Hon. Tolbert Carter, the joipt senator, holds over for two more years. There has been no serious discussion of available men for Benton's representative in the legislature, although Thos. Cooper, Joe Edwards, R. O. Loggan and Miles Starr have been suggested. There seems to be a total lack of interest, so far as the democrats are concerned, in regard to the legislative ticket. - - - . - Of course the names-mentioned above are simply street suggestions, and some of these mentioned probably do not consider them- it UP, On the north side of our store room we have placed on this Bargain Counter : : : EVefpMiig to Men aqd Bo.

There will doubtless be others who will come into view as conven tion day draws near, but a majority of tho nominees will in all probability be found in the foregoing list. ' The prospects are not bright for a very lively campaign, as republican assurances for success are too glowing to admit of much activity on the part of tho opposition. Dem ocrats will probably indulge in a still hunt, and will sock to avoid the stirring upof party feeling. They evidently believe that if the party lines are not closely drawn, they can repeat their former successes in Benton county. Republicans, however, havo grown weary in toeing the cream of tho offices go to their friends, the enemy, in a county that has a good working republican majority. They will nominate a good clean ticket, that no republican can rightfully refuse to sup port. : ' H9EA JOTTINGS. Miss Torsssa Wilson and Mr. A. J. Tharp, of the O. A.
