Oregon Ag riculturist. The Southern Pacific & Corvallis and Eastern companies are making a special effort to promote travel to Newport this season. They have issued a handsome little booklet de scriptive of Yaquina Bay and its many neighboring, resorts, which will attract much attention. The booklet is illustrated with a num ber of views of attractive spots about Newport and the Bay, and the publication is one of the best bits of work ever issued by a trans portation company. The cover de signs are from photographs of an Albany young woman. The work is in a number of colors and is done in the very highest style of the pi inters' art. CopieH of the book let may be had from W. E.

From the very small beginning in the way of a session held in 1894, the Chautau qua has grown, until it covers a pe riod of thirteen days and draws talent for its platform from all parts of the country. From an examin ation of the present program, it would seem from the rich arraj' of talent there scheduled to appear, that the 1 903 session bids fair to eclipse any of its predecepsors. Notwithstanding the length of the Chautauqua for this year, hardly a day passes without the appearance of some star attraction. A Utter received this woek from Ivan Daniel, by his mother, dated at Topeka, Kansas, states that the writer was in that city durii g the flood which caused such loss of life and property. Ivan was with the Weidemann Company, and their car was on the track above the flood line, and all members escaped injury. They all assisted in the rescue ot unfortunates who were battling with the waters. The current would not permit of using oars and Ivan and the party he was with drew their boat from place to place by holding on to trees and debris. They rescued a number, but others could not be reached and died from expopure. The WieoV mann Company will bp in the Wif lamette Valley next September. Whitehorn, Cal Thrasher, J. A. Harper, J. C.

Corvallis has caught the spirit of improvement, and the new- city administration gives evi dence of being heartily in accord with the desire to clean up and beautify the town. The morals of the community have been raised to a plane where there is little room for criticism, and the effort that has been expended in accomplishing this most import tant result, is now to be directed toward " material improvement, The Corvallis Improvement So ciety has done much to awaken interest in this direction, and with a city council determined tb enforce the ordinances and to sup port the -, city ; " officers' in. their efforts to induce property owners to. repair sidewalks arid remove rubbish, Corvallis will soon be come more.-inviting. ia'-the last few weeks many sidewalks have been repaired and new: walks have been built. Chief Lane has shown commendable zeal in hav ing the business portion of Main street scraped and the accummu- ated trash hauled away. Citi zens should hasten to make their homes more sightly by mowing the grass about their premises, planting flowers and shrubbery, and keeping houses and fences in repair. Get Out and Vote. The patrons of school district No. 9, will be asked to express themselves on the question of issuing tonds, at an. election to be held next Monday. Funds are necessary to provide addi tional facilities for the accommo dation of increased attendance at the Corvallis Publie Schools, and to redeem a portion of the pres ent outstanding school, bonds. Readers of the Gazette are fa mi Jiar with the needs of the dis trict in these respects, and the ur gency of relief for over crowded conditions in our school rooms. Actaal Residence Required. The board of directors would like to be authorized to issue bonds in the sum of $8,qoo to be applied at their discretion in bet terments and redeeming present bonds. It would seem that pa trons have no - choice but to vote for the bonds. sFunds are abso lutely necessary; It is strange. however, that so little'interest is taken by the public in school matters, that are of such impor tance. At .the I election,- Tune 15th, only 36 votes were cast in this district. Some offered as an excuse that the papers of the city had not called their attention to the matter. This is untenable, for both of the city papers have devoted considerable space to dis cussion of the election, and of the various suggestions that have been offered concerning provision for additional school room, dur ing th past several weeks. Let all who are entitled to a vote. take part in next Monday's elec tion and show that thev have a ive iuterest in matters touching our public school. It is understood that the resi dent's of Tob's Addition are quite anxious that the board erect a small school buildirig in that community; and the patrons who reside in the fruit district near the college would like to have a building put up in that neighbor- nooa. i ney oner to contriDute The owner of the watch, adver- land upon which to build a small tiae(j as ost in Friday's Gazette The Interior Department recent ly rendered a decision that will interest homesteaders. In the past the Department has- been liberal in construing what con stitutes a residence upon a home stead sufficient to enable the claimant to make proof and se cure title, but stricter rnlings are being enforced. To successfully hold a claim a man must make continuous residence, lhe de cision also practically means that a newcomer can successfully con test any of the thousands of homesteads being held by men not actually .residing on them, but who are making a pretense of compliance with the letter of the law. . At present the government is keeping a rigid watch over the homesteads ot Oregon and Wash ington. Every proof that is sub mitted will be carefully scrutiniz ed, and lack of residence is liable to deprive many of their right to obtain title. It is indeed ques tionable it those who have estab- ished only constructive residence upon Homesteads tnat is tnose who live in town 160 days, in the year and five on the homesteads will be permitted to perfect title, Watch Was Stolen. j 1 1 ioSit mir '.Suit ;, 1 1 Hart Schafinrr Hand Tailored school.

Secretary of State Dunbar, as state insurance commissioner, has addressed to the press oi the state and the various agents of regular-t y licensed insurance companies a circular letter calling their at tention to the operation within this state of the "Union Fire In surance Company" of Chicago in violation of the statutes of the state. The co-operation of those receiving the letter is -asked that illegal operation of this company in competition with reliable and icensed, companies may be cur tailed. The following excerpt is taken from Secretary Dunbar's etter: "The requirements of the laws of this state are not so onerous or so expensive as to de ter any solvent, honest company rom complying. When a com pany undertakes to do business in this state surreptitiously, in vio- tion of law and without submit ting to its obligations, it is a jus- ustifiable conclusion that it is either too dishonest to willingly submit to its requirements, or is in an insolvent financial, condi tion. In the event of loss or the refusal of such company to pay the holder of a policy, he would be compelled to go to the state where it is located, to bring suit and collect iugment. If also. "or any reason, he should desire to cancel his policy in an un authorized company, he would have no means of compelling the return of unearned premiums. n short, he is unprotected by the laws of this state. In the case 01 a licensed company, a policy holder has the security of the deposit made by them and can secure service in case of suit, upon the resident general agent of the company." ; Foley's Kidney Cure makes kidneys end bladder right. has come to claim his property A little story is connected with the disappearance of the time-piece which reflects upon the integrity of some one who posed as a friend of the owner, R. V. Williamson. With a number of other students of the college, Mr. Williamson boarded at a private residence in this city. A chum had borrowed the watch, and returned it in the presence of a number of students at their board ing place. It was just at the sup per hour, and Mr. Williamson laid the watch on a stand and the par ty passed into the dining room. When they returned the watch was gone, and nothing more was seen of it until the little son-of Rev Car rick found it under the O. R. fe N. dock. ' - , The owner's initials, R. V. W., were scratched on the back of the watch and his given name Vernon, appeared on the inner case. It is believed that the purloiner, rinding the watch was so marked as to de tect him, concealed it under the wharf. When it was learned that the watch was the property of Mr. Williamson he was notified by 'phone at his home at Wells, of its recovery, it is noped that the stu dent under 'suspicion will be able to cjear himself of the charge of which he is now deemed guilty.

Attorney W. E. Yates returned from a business trip to Newport, yesterday. He states that the exo dus to the coast is already on, and cottages are being filled rapidly with summer visitors to Oregon s most popular seaside' resort. Corvallis has passed an ordinance providing for a fine of $5 to $50 or imprisonment for the failure to re pair a sidewalk after heing ordered to do so by the proper authorities. The spirit of. the law is all right. This way of ordering a thins done and then letting it go, shouldn't work at all. If Corvallis authori ties show an inclination 10 enforce the law it will be a splendid thing for that place Independence En C. E. Woodson escaped unin jured from the flood that devasta ted Heppner. lhis gratifying in telligence was received by Attorney Bryson from Leslie Scott by 'phone from Portland, baturday. Mr. Scott was the special correspondent of the Oregonion sent to Heppner to report the flood. He was a stu dent at the University of Oregon, when Mr. Woodson attended that institution and the, two were warm friends. Aside from the informa tion that Mr. Woodson escaped un harmed, Attorney Bryson learned no particulars. v .
