" ' , .;; . . Wm. Broders, who - recently pur chased the saloon business conduct ed Tbos.WhitebMn fo the last twenty years, took ' charge yester day morning. Mr. - Whiteborn is entitled to much of the credit due Corvallis saloon keepers for the or derly manner in which these places are run. There is probably no town in Oregon, where the city or dinances regulating the liquor traffic are more implicitly obeyed than here in Corvallis. Mr. Broders is good citizen, and the confidence is expressed that he will spare no ef forts to comply with every require ment of the license laws. Corvallis seems to be behind other cities in the matter of early closing. The various business houses in Eu gene, 'Albany, McMinnville and other towns close their doors at 6 rfricnr avarsavininn ovncnf SSaftir. uuj, uui uio wu uuatuui ui into hours still prevails in Corvallis. There seems to be no good reason for this policy, but the habit has been formed, and habits are hard to break. Of course, the merchant's only, reason for keeping open after supper' is to accommodate his cus tomers . If he . were assured that his patrons will .suffer no incon venience from early closing, - Iris doors would close at 6 -o'clock. During the last week this matter has been investigated and the pub lic has been interviewed concerning early closing, with the result' that in nearly every instance the prorxK sition has been endorsed.- AH who have purchases to make, say they find opportunity during the day, and they are willing that the mer chant and bis clerks shall cease their labors when other workers in the community complete their day's toil.

The excmsion season to New port opened yesterday. From n w until October 10th season tickets wi'.l be good, and it is believed that the traffic to the ccast this summer will be a record breaker. J.

Lillv and A. W. Fischer returned, Friday, from a week's ab sence in the Bohemia mining dis trict. These gentlemen are officers in the. Great Eastern Mining Co, whose valuable claims lie about 33 miles from Cottage Grove. These claims were located by Douis Hart- ley and are the pick of the district. Messrs. Fischer and Lilly brought back a number of excellent speci mens from the'; Great Eastern mines, that are-rich, in gold and contain some silver and copper. The country for" miles around is staked off in claims and as much work is being done at this time of year, when the blasts are fired every evening the many heavy reports sound like cannonading. The dis trict is very mountainous. The two Coryallisites eat their, dinner one day on a peak 7,000 feet above the level of the sea. .. -jri itinerant fakir abused the charitableness of Corvallis house wives in a most shame faced man ner, a few days ago. With a dime, he purchased a numer of boxes of needles of a local merchant Then he began his nefarious business. He twisted his fingers into fearful shapes, and contorted his body un til his appearance was shocking. Knocking at the door of various residences, he worked ' upon the sympathies of the lady of the, house who responded and had no trouble j ' -e t . . I in aisposing oi . nis wares at trom three to five times the price he paid for them. His game worked all right until he came to the door of the merchant from whom he had made his morning's purchases. Notwithstanding his assumed de formity,-he was recognized as the brawny . well-formed customer of a few hours before and told to mak himself scarce, " BY A NARBOWl MMJOlNr: AlJjaay CoUg "Won tb field Mt from ' " - O. A C. fey Ott Point. ' In a field meet full of surprises and in which the excitement and interest never abated for; a mo ment, Albany college defeated the Agriculturists on the local field, Friday afternoon, by the narrow margin otone point. It was anybody's victory until tbe final throw in the hammerventt next to the last on the program. An incident in connection with the meet shows by what a slender thread hung the final result Considering the great amount of time consumed by the field events, an effort was made to ,' 'pull off' tne races wniie , tnesewere in progress. . It so happened that the pole vaulters were contesting wnen tne 120-yard nurdie was called. Albany's - best vaulter was entered for the hurdle race, and the visitors offered to concede the first two places in the vauit to the farmers; practically giving away,thermcet But the . Agrics . handed i back, by -refusing-, the offer Bertmau, who failed to start in the hurdle, entered the vault and won first place and the meet. Albany sprung a surprise in Bergman in the short - sprints. He is probably the best per- forer. in the state in - the 100-yard event. But Williams was as great a surprise to the vis itors in the 220 and 440, -and Moores' jump of 20 feet," 11 inches . was ." : also a revelation. Torbet was conceded the 50-yard dash and Crates was looked upon as a first-place man iuVthe broad jump and and tne hurdles, but Bergman was not reckoned with in the dashes and vault. Williams set the pace so hot for Bergman in the 220-yard dash that the latter fell after crossing the the finish -line and was too weak to enter any more of the races. In , tne 440 dash Williams led Torbet and Coates so far that they gave np the struggle Coates won the high hurdles with and broke the coast record in the 220 - hurdlee. Torbet equalled the Northwest record for 50 yards. -'":. . The' entnes for the Orange were "iresner and m lar petter conditioa,for the relay than the visitors,, and the latter conceded that event, being highly satisfied to win if only by a point. 7 The events and winners were as follows: . , : . . & 50yard dash Torbet, AC, 1st; Bergman, A C, 2nd; - Williams.

In the afternoon the. prade formed on Main street and ma-ched .' to Crystal Xake cetneterv, where the formal exer cises of the day were held.
