When looking around among the business houses of the city in search of the January bargains so dear to the feminine heart, don't forget to remember that the reductions made in tne prices of the old but enter prising firm of Nolan & Callahan are all bona-fide. It is a case of must with them. They must have room for their spring stock of new styles which will arrive very early. Look over their list of bargains and govern younelf accordingly.

The propri etors of the store say that the boys were only playing for treats, and whether thev were or not is yet to be proven as no money was found on the table. The case is being investigated.

The Cosgrove Concert Com pany gave a fine entertainment at the College Armory on Friday evening tinder the auspices of the Athletic Union. A large crowd listened for two hours to musical selections on instruments of every description. Wm. Stein kamp responded to two hearty encores to his xylophone selec tions. Miss Carrie Torgensen was also encored twice, but re- once. Miss Torgensen's violin playing is excellent and it was a great pleasure to listen to her solos. Miss Pauline Slosson gave several vocal selections which pleased the audience. In fact, the entire program was well re ceived and each player is an ar tist in his place. The Armory is not favorable for musical entertainments, owing to its size and the entertainers could have played to much bet ter advantage in a smaller build ing- V Oak Grove Items.

Changes In Mall Service. A new mail route that will make a difference of 24 hours in the daily mail between this city and Portland, is now being con sidered by the postoffice depart ment It marks the first impor tant change for better in the handling of mails out of Corvallis, that has been made during the last twenty years. Not only will it effect an improvement in the Portland mail, both going and coming, but it will make a change for the better in the Cali fornia and Eastern mails. Sealed bids are called for for carrying mail from Corvallis to Albany by stage or otherwise, and will be received up to Feb ruary 2, 1904. Copy ot adver tisement may be found at the Corvallis postoffice. The time schedule from March to Novem ber is as follows: Leave Corvallis daily, 6:30 p. m.-; arrive in Albany, 8:30 p. m. Leave Albany, daily, 6:30 a. m.; arrive in Corvallis 8:30 a. m. During the winter months an additional half hour is allowed in arriving at destination. In event of the acceptance the service commences on March 18, 1904. Bonds to the amount of $r,40o, must be filed with the postoffice department. A better opening for a daily stage line cannot be found in the state. It would have a good business, and we expect that bids will be lively. Postmaster Johnson is to be commended for bringing this matter to the attention of the postoffice department. The box office opens today for "Are You a Mason?'1 at Graham & Wortham's. . For the play Wednes day evening, the management pro pose to have the Opera House com fortable, if wood will make i so. Oar Postoffice. The business of the postofiice in a town is a good index of the general business of the commu nity. Business depression is in dicated at once by a falling off in postofiice receipts. It will, there fore, be pleasing news to our citi zens to note there is a gradual but steady increase in this depart ment during the year just closed. Under the efficient charge of Postmaster Johnson the postal business has been much improv ed the past year. Three Rural Free Delivery routes have been established, and the service is ex cellent The total receipts for 1902 was 5,961.62 while for 1903 they footed up 26,294. 89, an increase of over 6 per cent. For the last quarter of each year the showing is even better, $1,727.67 being record for 1902 and $1,850.21 for 1903, an increase of 7 percent. During quarter ending Dec. 31, 1903, 1832 domestic money orders were issued amounting to $io,nrV6i on which $94.41 in fees were collected. Dunng the same period 103 1 domestic orders were paid amounting to $n, 336.83. College Leap Year Party. Last Saturday evening in Miss Snell's room, the Feronian Soci ety gave a "Leap Year Party" in honor of the Zetagatheans, and was a very enjoyable event. In true leap year style, the young ladies requested the company of the gentlemen; took, them to and from the party, walked on the side next the street, carried the umbrella, etc. After the ladies had seen the gentlemen safely home, they were required to get themselves home through the darkness as best they could, and were subject to a fine if they did not obey instructions. An interesting program, con sisting of music, a pantomine and recitations was rendered. The pantomime was ,4Young Lochinvar," and that character was represented by Miss Florence Wicks 'and a frobby horse. In one of the games the boys were each given' a piece of cloth a needleful of thread and required to make their partner a bonnet, which the young ladies wore dur ing the evening. At 10:30 re- reshments were served ltuProf. Schmidt's room, and many toasts proposed and responded to.- i Appointed Clerks and Judges.

Himes,of the His torical Society, favors us with a communication that . . explains itself. It lays out work for the press of the state that will bring back returns, a hundredfold if pushed to a successful issue. Brother quill-drivers, make a note of it. ' . ' Portland, Ob., Jan. 8, 1904. Editor .CLuette : I rise, to give a most emphatic second to your motion that President Roosevelt be requested to appoint Harvey Scett one of the Pacific Coast members of the Panama Canal Commission Oregon has no man mors capable, no man better acqninted with the state and its needs, and no man more thoroughly representative. What Oregon want is cheap transportation to market. The construction of the Pana ma canal will afford this. Let me giye you a little reminiscence : Fifteen years ago or thereabouts, Roberts 8.-Howard who had been a prominent business man in New Orleans for more than twentyfive years preceding, came to Portland mainly on account, of the health t bis- family. He entered the commission business at once, as he long had followed . that- line. He went to a livery stable and asked, "What do you feed your horses -on ?" " "Oats, barley, and timothy hay." "Don't yon use corn?" "Corn! why, no; ear horses would not know what corn was. Ho, no; what we grow in this country is better than corn." ."Let: me see some of that hay," asked ' Mr. Howard. - Samples were shown him. After .thorough ex amination, he said, "I never saw auch hay aa that. We cannot, grow hay like that anywhere in the Mississippi valley. I've handled hay - for twenty-five years and I never saw anything that would be gin to equal it, and I was born and raised in Kentucky.; I would like te have, yon put up 500 packets, (each un der four pounds,' to send to my old cus tomers tributary to New Orleans." This was done and the packets mailed. In side of a month Mr. Howard had orders for more than one thousand tons of Willamette Valley hay. He then began figuring on transportation, but soon found that it was far greater than the hay itself so the plan had to be aban doned. Mr. Howard said in the same connec tion, ;tbat if the products of Oregon, such a 3 hay, oats, vegetables and fruits of certain kinds, could be placed in the markets of the South, even at a consid. erably higher rate than the rate prevail ing for the local products, there would be a great 'demand therefor because of the superior quality ot the Oregon product.

Call upon or address, I. E. RICHARDSON, CORVALLIS, OREGON. ever written by Harvey W. Scott for that paper, I repeat the second, and trust that the newspaper fraternity of the state (and what body of men can do so more fitly?) will start the movement agoing and keep at it until success is reached. It is high time thai Oregon should cease playing second fiddle to any other state on this coast. It should be true to its motto and "fly with its own wings," and have representative on the com mission alluded to. Our state has the physical resources to make it the leading one west of the Rockies, ' and in the work of laying the knockers, whinera, sluggards and do nothing growlers, and preparing them for the solemn bat ever-kindly under taker, it is eminently fitting that news paper men as a body Should take the initiative, and keep everlastingly and in telligently "pegging away." Respectfully, Geo. H. Hives. New Road Supervisors. Under a new law, the county court ap points road supervisors.
