A. is strong in number, and great interest is taken in the work by the students, the great drawback being lack of ac commodations for . meetings, etc. Mr. Stone states that there is on hand about $4000 available for such a purpose, and he has no doubt that the remander can be raised by pub lie subscription. A site outside for the structure would have to be pui chased, as it is not allowable under the law to put up other than state Jjuildings on the college campus. pretty gin is talking to him any how.

All of the students from Indepen dence expect to leave today for that place in order to attend a large ball to be given there tomorrow evening. "Sandv Bottom." large crowd greeted the company at the Upera on Tuesday evening:. A above House "Sandy Bottom" is a pretty Southera play, with the usual villian, hero and heroine. These three carried out their respective roles in good shape, especially the young lady who assumed the leading part. She is a clever lit tle actress and was by far the best player the company carries. The village quartet was an en tertaining feature and their sing ing was very good. Saturday nights bill will be "Maloney's Wedding." This company is filling in an extra en gagement here and the manage ment was fortunate in securing this musical comedy. Don't fail to see "Maloney's Wedding."

The secretary reported 43 mem bers in eood standing. The Grange is in a healthy condition and expects to. do some good work this year. The table was spread at noon and as Fairmount boasts of having the best cooks in Ben ton county, it was really hard for one to decide wnen ne snouid surender his knife and fork. After dinner the officers for the present year were installed. State Deputy C. H. Walker offi ciated as installing: officer assisted by Miss Mabel Williamson, of Albany.

Movement will also be taken toward supplying the city with a chemical engine. This is some thing that Corvallis is very much in need of, as the suburbs are not within the protection of the city water. The firemen have about $60 in their treasury and Chief Sheasgreen suggested they pur chase long rubber coats and hats to be worn at fires. Numerous other suggestions were made and commented npon. and all were of the ' unanimous opinion that Corvallis cannot be without a fire department, and from the interest manifested by the large crowd present, we will soon have a better means of fight ing fire than ever beiore. The election of officers will be held the first Monday in Februry. Proposals for Wood. Notice is hereby given that the clerk of School District No. 9, Benton county, Oregon, will r ceive sealed bids to furnish the said district with wood for the com ing year, Wwit: Eighty cords split body red fir wood (old growth) or 80 cords of fir wood (second growth) gcod quality, not less than foar feet in length, and not less than four inches, nor more than eight inches in thickness or diam eter ; to be delivered at tbe school build ing in said district on or before August 15, 1904. The board reserves the light to reject any and all bids; and no bid will be received after 6 o'clock, February 12th, 1904. "" "W. A. Buchanas, Clerk. This matter will be managed the same as was the original move ment for rural movement for rural delivery, many of the same lead ers will enlist in its favor. This bill will give $250,000 to this State for road building. , The farmer is the backbone of the country; it is he who feeds the entire population, and he is no longer satisfied with poor roads. At last it seems as if the Na tional Government- was going to do something for the fanner. A bill has been introduced in Con gress called the Brownlow Bill, which appropriates $24,000,000 as National aid for the building of roads. The farmer wants this bill to pass, and he'is determined that the National Government shall do something for him, as well as for the rest of its citizens. Deputy Master George Den man announces that all the Granges in Benton county are in creasing in interest, membership and attendance. As an example, Corvallis Grange, so it is stated, added .17 new, members recently to the growing list. Sheriff T. M.

MRS. AG. KAUPISCH, A Timely Suggestion, Now that the subject of reor ganizing the fire department is the question of the hour, the Gazette offers a suggestion for Fire Districts, that will be of material assistance to the men, particularly for night alarms, and add to the promptness with which they can assemble at the fires. Let the city be divided for this purpose into lour districts, and after a short general alarm has been runsr on the bell, then strike the number of the district in which the fire is burning. TI1. AT -.. -r -r jjist. ino. a jtnKe 1 1 This district embraces both sides of Second or Main street, to the river. Dist. No 3 Strike III Between Second St. and C. & E. R.

This would not not only give the approximate location of the fire for any one who might wish to go, but would also tend to re lieve the minds of people inter ested in property in districts away from the fire. We suggest that this matter be brought up and discussed at the first meeting of the Fire Depart ment. . Church Announcements. United Evangelical Church H. A. Deck, pastor. Sunday School 10 a. m. K.
