Superintendent Denman's idea of

some way in which the diseases affecting

closing out our line of winter shoes
and opening the new spring stock.
If you want good shoss at cut prices
or the newest styles at low prices

'.' For Men's Furnishings
The old idea that drygjods stores
could not supply up-to-date fur
nishings has been thoroughly ex
ploded. Some of the beot men's
furnishing departments in the
couutry are located in drygoods
stores, of which our own is a con
vincing object lesson. Buy men's
furnishings here and you -will get
right styles at right prices.
For Gloves
Kid gloves for Bpring are now on
display here all the correct shades

necessary to say that the quality

happens to be defective we replace
them with a new pair. Our kid
glovo trade demonstrates our lead

F Iv. Miller
ight be very confusing and mislead
ing if the people did not have a good
test to apply and that is to judge a merchant,
not by what he says in his advertisement, but
by what he does in value giving.
' That's just the basis upon which we ask people to
judge this store. We like to have our advertisements
read because they are our store news, but we don't
ask people to take them as proof that we give best
values that proof awaits the customers at the stor..'.
Low Prices Make Easy Selling
When they represent the right kind of merchandise.
That's the reason this store continues to show such a
surprising growth. We distribute more dry- goods
than many of the leading merchants in towns twice
the size of Corvallis. This shows that we. not only
supply the dry goods needs of the majority of our
townspeople, but draw trade from a large territory
round-about. These are the goods and prices that
attract trade:
Dress Goods and Silks
Black Crepon Fancy mixed suitings
Black & colored camel hair Black & colored cashmere
- Black and Colored all wool serge
. Black and Colored all wool henriettes (s f)
Our black and colored silks department is com
plete in every detail. Every new and desirable color
can be found on our counters.

a Letter wash goods stock than ours
and you wouldn't find lower prices
anywhere. It is our aim and am
bition to excel in this department,
as inall.other dry goods lines. New
things are arriving every day, and
if you want a wash goods dress bet
ter look for it here. Prices, style
and quality will be satisfactory.

Your hosiery needs can ' be sup
plied at low prices here and the

a low price. Every pair of hosiery
that goes out of our store must be
reliable in quality, fast color, cor
correctly sized. You will find this
a good piace to buy hosiery.
For Carpets
Nothing has quite so much to do
with the appearance of the home as
carpets. It's important then,' to ob
tain the handsomest and beet you
can for the money. It is also im
portant that you come here if you
wish to do this. Our spring line of
carpets, mattings, and other floor
coverings is complete and ready for
your inspection.
For Groceries
The popularity of our grocery
department is growing, and the

Recorder Gellatly is not afflicted with

canvass and show a handsome majority
at the polls.

The Populists Will Be Free Lances in tfce
' - Coming Campaign.
There was a joint meeting of the
county central committees of the demo
crate and populists at Jhe court house
iast Saturday and as a result the popu
lists have been absorbed "without effort
and without friction." "The innocent,
guileless lamb of populism lies peacefully
within the capacious stomach of - the
democratic lion, and the lion grinB com
placently with surcease of appetite.
Now the campaign will be one of prin
ciple, or of one principle democratic
principle- and there will be no "free-for-all
scramble for the offices," the contest
will be limited entirely to the democrats.
At least this is the bargain that was
made at the court house last Saturday,
for as the demo-populist' organ states,
"For any given office the" candidate
chosen will necessarily be the man who
can secure the largest number of votes,"
and "the yoting strength of the demo
crats in the county largely outnumbers
the populists.'' Ibis is a gentle nudge
to the "blatant partizan" populist, of
course that he "will have to offer some
thing more than his partisanship as a
reason for his selection to a place on the
ticket."
'. But the rank and file of the populist
party have bitten at this game before,
and while they have faith in the good
intentions of the men who represented
them Saturday, they will question their
judgment when under the seductive in
fluence of the charmers on the. demo
cratic committee.
Every populist knows .'. that if his
political, principles are not identical
with those of the democrats, they are as
widely opposed as those of the republi
cans and populists. If they are identical
there is no reason for the existence of
their party aside from what advantage
may accrue to those who pose as their
leaders, and they had better forfeit their
charter. If they are not identical the
assistance they render the democratic
party every election -saps their own
strength and they receive nothing in
return. Left thus without candidates of
his own the freeminded populist voter
is going to support those whom he con
siders the most worthy out of the candi
dates offered -by all parties. Of course
some will blindly do the bidding of the
leaders, and it is for this vote that the
democrats are angling. "
The absorbtion was effected through a
conference committee composed of Robt
Johnson, John McGee and M L Frantz,
on the part of the democrats, and of
Chester Skeels, G A Robinson and J W
Jones on. behalf of the populists.
The primaries will be held April 7th,

Tongue on Puerto Rico.
The Oregonias of Wednesday publish
es the following dispatch from Wash
ington in correction of an article in that
paper of the 15th inst: "The Washing
ton dispatch published in the Oregonian
of the 15th doea not properly represent
my attitude on the Puerto Rlcan bill.
I voted in the caucas and in the House
to reduce the tariff from 25 to 15 percent,
and to limit the operation of the bill to
two years. I was one of the most stren
nous advocates of the latter amendment.
But it is asserted by the opponents of
the' bill that this small tariff upon the
necessary food products in Puerto Rico
willbe oppressive to the poor people of that
island. I have said that if this is true,
it might be well for the senate to consid
er a proposition te admit such articles
duty free, and increase the tariff to 25 per
cent on sugar and tobacco, as the entire
crop of these articles, it is said, ha3 been
bought by the trusts and speculators.
This provision would relieve the people
and place the tariff upon those most able
to bear it, the trusts and speculators.
"The only reason that justifies the
House bill or that secured the votes
necessary to pass it, including my own,
is the necessity of raising revenue to
maintain government in Puerto Rico,
temporarily, until the people can -recover
from their present distressed con
dition. With normal conditions restored
and other revenue measures enacted,
commercial intercourse between Puerto
Rico and the United States should and
will be as free as between Oregon and
California." -'

Exhibit of Oregon Products.
Col. F. J.Parker, of the Walla Walla
Statesman, passed through Corvallis,
Wednesday, on his way to Lincoln coun
ty where he has extensive property
interests. The colonel is a genial and
pleasant gentlemen, and he is full of vim
and energy. Together with Manager
Edwin Stone of the C. & E. and C. H.
Markham, of the S. P., Colonel Parker
is making an effort to have an exhibit
made of grains, grasses, fruits, vegetables
and all farm products grown along the
lines of these two roads in the Willamette
valley. '
On account of its central location and
for other reasons, Col. Parker is anxious
that this exhibit be held ia Corvallis.
Farmers should begin early to collect
specimens for this display of Oregon
products and after the local exhibit in
the fall, the railroad companies will take
it to Saa Francisco.
Grasses and grains of all kinds should
be prepared with roots attached. Hints
on the proper preparation of fruits, etc.,
will probably be sent out later.
Like (he rest of us Colonel Parker be
lieves that Oregon and the Northwest is
to experience an unprecedented growth
in the very near future. We should not
selfishly keep a knowledge of her won
derful resources from the outside world.
Desirable immigration is coming and
should be still further encouraged.

leaders make no attempt to sacrifice
ideals for spoils. Following is the ticket :

BICYCLISTS MEET.
A Road Supervisor Selected and Impor
tant Business Transacted.
That there has been hesitancy on the
part of wheelme a in paying their bicycle
tax is not to be wondered at. The fund
which accumulates from this tax is for
the express purpose of building paths for
the use of wheelmen, along the roads of
the county. Last year about $000 was
expended for this purpose, and today
there is not a mile of path that can be
ridden over on a bicycle. Wheelmen
are outspoken in this matter and a num
ber have said that unless some perma
nent good shall result from the expendi
ture of the annual tax they will test the
law before again paying for a path which
can be used only about two months in
the year.
The county court has snggested that if
the wheelmen would name a man for
roadmaster the court would endorse the
selection. At the meeting of the Ben
ton County Road Club last Friday night,
Robt Johnson was elected to this posi
tion. Ho will be entirely satisfactory to
all owners of wheels aud confidence is
felt in his ability to spend the bicycle
fund judiciously and to some purpose.
Another matter recommended by the
club, which seems to contain much wis
dom, is the idea of having the county
court allow each person when paying for
bis tag designate where bis $1.25 shall be
expended. Thus, when there are a num
ber of wheels in any one neighborhood,
the persons paying the tax may get the
directjbenefit therefrom.
At this meeting -there was an annual
election of officers which resulted as fol
lows : President, E. R, Lake ; vice presi
dent, T..W. Dilly; secretary, S. N, Wil
kina: treasurer, W. H. Currin: road
master, Robt Johnson.'
At no season of the year can so much
good be accomplished in path making
as at present, anda resolution was
adopted by the club asking the court to
begin operations immediately. The
sooner the tax is paid the more rapidly
can work be pushed, andw beelmen
recognizing this fact will pay their tax
immediately and reap the benefit of the
path early in the season.

singers. Secure seats at Trask's, prices
