Early Saturday morning, Nov. 1st, wheelmen began spinning along on the sidewalks of the city. Beginning on this date, wheelmen are allowed the privilege of riding on all the sidewalks of the city ex cept two. Main street and College street. It is well for wheelmen to use a little judgment when using the walks, and not run down old people and little' children. Ring your bell. to friends vears asro that should the prico of hops ever reached 20 cents a pound he would throw away $100, W. C. Brown, a retired Dallas mer chant, now a hop grower of that pine, last Saturday scattered 2000 nickles on the ground for the child ren to scramble for. Independence Enterprise. This iucident serves the purpose of drawing attention to the resources of our great state and the kind of people who inhabit it. A. F. Peterson arrived home, Friday, from a ten days' trip through tie' southern part of the state. On his part it was purely a matter of business. ' He states that -vrything is booming in that part of the world, but in his opinion it in not the best place imaginable for a. contractor. He says that me chanics appear to be abundant and the wages are not as good as he presumed they would be consider ing the amount of money in circu lation in that section. : The hours are long and the lumber they use Is not of as good quality as is used in tM8 city. Mr. Peterson, in com menting, stated that he is more convinced than e.er of the stability of Corvallis and predicts a good future for the old town. . During the past year the" residences con structed in this city have been of a most substantial and attractive na ture, and there has been many of of them. Mr. Peterson will shortlv begin the construction of a ?2,000 residence on his home property. Part of the material in on the ground. The hard rain of Saturday night and Sunday will cut quite a figure in its way. It is thought that nav igation on the Upper Willamette will be resumed this: week. - This will ssem like old times and will in fuse new life into certain lines of business. Moreover, it will be a great benefit to farmers, "as they have been complaining that the The Srou - been too dry for plowing. the Alsea country, where he was called on matters relating to school work.

Withycombe, who spent the summer and fall in the Fish Lake country, as a forest ranger, arrived home about 'a week ago.

The fires left by campers kept hira fairly busy, but he was fortunate mexperienc ing no disastrous fires in his ter- ntory, Harry and another: rang er on the , go verotasat --reserve were tne last two men to be dis charged at the close cf the season. Next year it is"; thought that the number of rangers employed by tne government will be consider able less than the number 'in .ser vice the past season. " . " ; It is proposed that during the coming year cabins shall be built on the various mountain peaks of the reserves and an outlook kept by a man stationed there to over look the surrounding country with the aid ot a powerful" glass. In case the man on the mountain discovers an alarming: amount of smoke in a certain district he will communicate the intelligence to a given place by means of a helion graph.1 Men will then be sent to investigate Ihe matter. ' It is thought by some that this will not prove a successful method or coping with the fire, as it is claimed that at - certain periods, and in some parts' of the reserve, tne atmospnere will oecome ' so smoky that it will- be impossible or the lookout to locate where there is or is not a fire, " And should he determine this matter to his own satisfaction . he would be unable to flash his message to the desired point. These ' are some of the points that Mr. Withy combe has heard discussed 'in connection with this problem. , bunday, Harry left Corvallis hr Chicago, where he will . com plete; his course in pharmacy. -He has already received several di- ploinas from different schools and colleges where 1 he ? has studied pharmacy, and hopes that in Chi cago he may receive such- in struction as will place him where! he desires to stand m the front rank of his profession, - Great Ga.me Saturday; What is regarded as the great football game ot the year between Oregon colleges, will beplayed on the local gridiron next Saturday afternoon- between the yCrack eleven from the TJmversity 0 Oregon and the team representing Oregon Agricaltar; al OoRege.

His condition from the time of the acei dent has been most serious and it is thought there is no hope for his re covery. lh greater part of the time he remains in a stupor and whether he is ever really conscious of his condition and what ia going on around him cannot be ascertain ed. v - Wednesday night the Knights and Ladies of the order, of Macca bees enjoyed a social evening at their quarters in the Farra & Allen hall.

But few prunes have been sold in Benton county this -fall." 5The ma jority of the prune growers seem to be standing together and holding tneir fruitfor a better price than is offered at. present.- Prunes are now worth trom 4 to 4 1-2 cents per pound." Manager Robert John son, of the Benton County Prune Co., says that his company control about twenty-five tons oL prunes and are holding for a with indications favorable" for the same.

If he is armed it is better to be prepared to "yshoot Tinan emergency : than tc lallowpme; body to take Ms'weapoh from In the latter case he is made an object of ridicule, - while if . he shoots and injures someone the chances are that he is elected to a lot of serious trouble, therefor if his guard duty is . not of suffi cient importance to . admit of shootings somebody in case he is interfered with it is far' better ;for him to have his weapon at home. A circumstance " that well-illustrates this point occurred last Friday evening. The previous evening some party saw fit . to daub, with red paint, the figure that is a part of the fountain that greets a visitor's gaze on enter ing the O A C grounds. From the manner in which the paint was applied it is natural to sup pose that whoever committed the misdemeanor is of low and vulgar taste. " In order to prevent any further outrages to the figure, a guard was posted by. it on Hal lowe'en night. A Ilot of fellows surrounded said guard, disarmed him and "ducked" him in the fountain reservoir. : It is. not known whether the guard could swim or not, but 'that it was a cool evening for bathing goes without questioning. " The affair caused considerable merriment about town and fittingly illus trates that a guard may some-times-be lucky if he is unarmed, as any advantage that" may be gained over him in such an event is not nearly so laughable. Arrangements have baen. made by Snpt Denman for the program of the '-Parents' Meeting" to be held with the Willamette vi range next Saturday in their Grange Hall.'

Denman. . .. . These meetings are bound to help the Grange as well as the-, schools New in terest and enthusiasm- will be taken in tha work of the Grange by . their sup port. New interest will also be taken in the school work by the parents, : for through these meetings more parents will be brought together to listen to the discussions concerning our schools.
