Hayden, of Pueblo, Colo., in which the writer says: "It has been my desire to locate West, perhapB io Corvallis, shculd I be able to secure a position of some kind. I would like to come some- time between now - and spring." Mr. Hayden has had yeara of ex perience as & salesman in the dry gpods business. He would be pleased to secure a position as col lector, or outside work such as driving. Mr. Hayden's letter is" accompanied by gome strong letters of recommendation from former em ployers. Hon. Thomas Cooper relates a little incident which happened at his place west of Corvallis one day thi3 week, sufficiently oat of the or dinary to be of. interest. While the family were at dinner, a ooou four-footed was discovered mak ing its way from a patch of timber toward the house. He seemed to know where he was going, and made direct for the door-yard, Here he took an inventery of, the surroundings, climbed np to the sill and undertook to get through the window. Failing in this, he went around to tho porch, where he ' met one ot the children.

The drawing for the gramophone, which was offered as a prize to his customers by E. P. Greffoz, occurred January 1st.

A most interesting watch night service was held in the United Evangelical church Monday even ing. The pastor of the church, aided by Rev. Mark Noble 'of the Baptist church, conducted the ser vices from 7:30 p. m. until 12. The closing hour was spent in -a befit ting manner and good must result. A good attendance testified to the interest taken in this old-fashioned custom. A desperate encounter, somewhat resembling a game of feotball, was waged in the country adjacent to Philomath, during the greater part of Saturday afternoon. Eleven midgets, with Tim Dunn as a .nucleus, girded their loins and descending upon Philomath chal lenged that goodly city, in the name of the Plymouth Rocks, to come forth and show . cause why said Rocks were not as worthy foe men as the fledglings from Cor vallis. The rde:y" was accepted, and waiving formalities of- code or seconds, the conflict was begaB. Tho fortunes of both combatants ebbed and flowed with tantalizing frequency. In vain did the Philo math wavelets dash against the rocks of Plymouth, however, for when the points were computed a lrge goose egg appeared imme diately after the word Philomath, while Plymouth preceded the figure 5.

Dick Kiger pulled out a victory for his side by scoring 488 points, vrhile Bob Johnson and James Horning, after a day of hair breadth escapes and dar ing adventures, eaxh answered roll call with a goose egg.

A quiet wedding was solemnized at the home of the bride's aunt, Mrs. T. C. Case, in this city last Monday evening at 8 o'clock, the high contracting parties being Prof. Clyde M. Phillips and Miea Leah McDaniels, Rev. Humbert officiat- inir. Only immediate relatives were present, and the event was most happy One. ' Clyde has been apting suspiciously for the past few days and his host of friends be lieved that the event, which all were expecting, was soon to occur. Some even went so far as to exam ine th license books at the clerk's office, but found no evidense to in dicate that a ceremony had . been performed. So silly had the wed ding been planned, no inkling was known of its having ooeurred nn til the srroom laughingly confessed two davs after himself and bride had been comfortably settled in their new home near the college. .

V Copies may be had of local agent of the Southern Pacific Company, or from - C. II. Mabkham, G. P, A., Portland, Oregon. 1 ; - Was Probably J. A. Batch. Some weeks ago Sheriff Bur nett received a letter from parties in , Missouri, whioh . made in quiries concerning one "Balch, M whom the let'r stated had been a member of Co. F, ist- Oregon Cavalry. The letter was' pub lished and the matter came to the attention of John Catlin, of Albany, a veteran of the Civil War and until recent years : a member of the regular army. Mr. Catlin was in Corvallis this week to stand examination before the board of physicians here to establish his right to a pension w&ich he is applying for. While here he visited this office and exhibited a letter, from Commander Shipley, of the Soldiers' Home at Roseburg, in response to his inquiry concern ing "Balsh." Mr. Shipley stated that the name does not occur on the rolls of Co. F, ist Oregon Cav., but the party re ferred to was probably James A. Balch, who was 2nd lieutenant in Co. F, is Oregon Inf. Balch was stationed for some time at Fort Lapwai, Idaho, about 1865 or 1866, but died some years ago at Goldendale, Wash. John Purdom, now a resident of Al bany was a comrade of Baloh's during the Civil War. - Mr. Catlin has a long and in teresting record as a soldier. He enlisted in the army of the Potomac when but' 11 years of age and served four years and four months in - the 5th New York Cavalrv. He was in all the great battles of that war, and acted as headquarter . bugler for Sheridan and other generals. When his service ended he enlisted in tha 1st United States Cavalry and saw much service in Indian fighting, being wounded three times m addition to his four wounds received in the war of the rebellion. ..He was stationed for a number of years at the Presidio, ; in San Francisco, as a member of light battery M, 2nd Artilery. His eomma id was on its way to join Custer, whea it was recalled by a runner, and this fact probably saved, himself and comrades from the fate of the intrepid gen eral and his brave followers in ths battle of the Little. Big Horn. -- J ' Zafen-KlemeHts. When Roman IZahn left Cor vallis last spring for , a visit to his old -home in Germany,; his record for ' withstanding the blandishments-' and ; beguiliog smiles' of Yankee girls was spot less, and his many mends be lieved that he was simply unap proachable.

Miller, Corval Oregon. Bill Posting Ordinance. It seems that the bill posting ordinaEce of Corvallis came near being put to a test a few days ago. From what can be ascer tained, S. N. Wilk'ns had some rulers distributed by his son, and these rulers bore the com ponents of the business house of S. N. Wilkins. " They were distributed without tha consent of George Bingham, who is a licensed bill-poster for this city. He swore'out a complaint against Mr. Wilkins, but it was not sered, as the authorities did not wish to involve the city la a lawsuit. This bill-posting or dinance is, and has beca, a mat ter of considerable speculation on the part of the "oity dads," as to whether it will stand a law suit in case someone fought it. Mr. Wilkins seemed to think that it would not, while Mr. Bingham, who pays a license to do this work in all of its forms, not only posting bills, .but distributing flyers, blotters, and various other kinds of advertising matter, de Glares that he is ent.tled to has dle these jobs. Mr. Bingham says that he pays $20 a year license and that the city must protect him in the matter. It is a pretty hard "nut to crack," and by consent of the latter, action against Mr. Wilkins was postponed until after the next meeting of the city council, when that body will determine what course to pursue. It is held by many that it is their right, if they choose, to go about town personally and dis tribute their cards, blotters, er anything of this nature, so long as they make no charge for the same and the man in whoso place of business they are left offers no objection. In other words, they claim the privilege to give a thing away if they wa'nt to. A drayman is licensed in Corvallis and can collect his fee for work done, but if a man should starta dray and haul for nothing who . can stop him? Again,, it is claimed that It is against the - free circulation of public reading matter. ; Papers with" bona fide subscribers can be peddled by anybody, but a paper equally good or better that is not subscribed for could be forbidden distribution by the bill-posSer should he see fit. It all this' be .true, Mr. Bingham is not to be blamed for wanting protection in the privilege that he pays a liceuse for. Mr. Wil kins,"" oa the other hand may claim that his rights as a citizen are trampled npen when he can not make a man a present of a ruler bearing his name a.nd place of business.
