Just as the onlookers have decided the players should be put in straight jackets some one yells :corner" and the ladies say "oh thunder!" and the gentlemen say "oh dear!" and the whole of them subsided. It is a great game for children. ( For grown-ups the game of "500" ranks highest, as it is a game of skill, as well as amusement. Suits from $15 up. Our prices, as well as our are at the bottom. J.

Indications point to the fact that dairy products are likely to bring better prices, comparitively, than most other farm products of western Oregon, for a number of years to come. The present style of divid ing up the work of butter making and leaving to the farmer only the milking and the separating of the cream fives him a better profit on what labor he does put into the business. The outlook for good business and good profits for the present year is very good. Considerable interest is being taken in the inter-collegiate pro hibition oratorical contest to be held at Philomath college next Friday, April 8, at 7.30 p. m. A special train will be made up at Albany and Corvallis to go over in the even ing and return after the contest. There will be seven orators from as rrfany western Oregon colleges. They will compete for $75 in prizes and the honor of representing Ore gon at the inter-state contest to be, held in Portland the 27th of May. Miss Wicklund will defend the in terests of the local college. A good delegatinn of students and citizens will doubtless take advantage of the excursion rate to attend the contest. Benton county farmers will take notice of the following: Another argument in favor for good roads is furnished -by Gallia county, Ohio, which issued bonds several years ago for macadamizing her county roads. Since then 153 miles of splendid road have been built at a cost of $335,U00 and bonds were issued in that amount. The farmers consider it the best investment that the county has ever made, as they are enabled to get to the market at any season of the year and can haul very heavy loads with ease. Before the roads were improved, during winter seasons it was almost impossible to haul half a load over them. There is no reason in the world why the roads of this county should not be put in as good shape at once. At Suver, a small station a few miles south of here, the McClane warehouse was desire., cd by fire. It was impossible to do anything to save it. About 12,000 bushels of wheat and 1500 bushels of oats were lost. Most of the grain with the exception of 500 bushels owned Mr. McClane, was insured. The loss to Mr. McClane will be about $2,500. The loss to those having grain stored in the warehouse will be light. The origin of the fire is unknown. As a freight train was sidetrack i at the time, it is thought probable that the chaff from the hay must have been ignited. The Fischer Mills of Corvallis, the Port land Flouring Mills and the W. A. Gordon Company, share the loss. Telegram, April 1. Bay Reckard -is , very . il! at his home near Philomath. It is thonght he will not recover. A Mrs. S. A." Kisor, who has been making her home with her daughter, Mrs. Mason, went to Philomath to day on business. ;V Out teachers and patrons should not forget the parents meeting at Bellfountain next Friday evening and Saturday. Extra efforts are being made to have a rousing time. The Bellfountain Grange joins in the meeting. A fine progiam and a big dinner Is assured. An important change jn the Rural free delivery route No. 2 will be made on the 15th of April, 15 families having petitioned for a change. This will cutout that part of the road from Hughes corner to Corvallis, and will inconvenience but one family on the route, while benefitting 15 families living be tween Independent school house and Plymouth church, by way of old Hartleps place. Special agent Clement, of ,P. O. DeptJ inspected the route and recommended the change. The new route runs from Plymouth Church to Barringerp, then to Beaver Creek; then retraces to Fern; then north across Mary's river to Woodruff's, and east to Plymouth church, and then back to Corvallis. Supt. Denman, , Profs' Hohnes and Tartar, Misses Evans and Mil ler had quite an experience on eoing to the parent's meeting at Philomath last .Saturday. On the way over the hack spring broke, and coming back the entire delegat ion was held up. It was not by a lone highwayman, but by a good size mud hole. Supt. Denman who was handling the lines concluded he could go through an innocent look ing mud hole. In he drove, and in" he stayed. Bravely struggled the horses, and snap went two tugs, Profs. Tartar and Holmes snrambl ed for the terra firma, both landed, wrong side up. After a consultat ion and the harness was patched, Prof. Holmes put his shoulder under the rear end of the hack, and by a long pull by the horses, all were safely rescued. The rest of the trip was made in safety, due to Prof. Tartar's excellent advice on going around ..and getting through the pesky places. . . Ratification Meeting. At the close of tne Republican con vention on Thursday the county commit tee invited the delegates and caadidates to a lunch at the Occidental. About eighty people were present, and sat down to the well-spread tables at 10 o'clock. After the good things oh the tables had been disposed of, Supt. .Denman intro duced Mr. Dearing, of the Gazette, as toast-master, who proceeded to introduce the speakers. J. Fred Yates paid a glow ing tribute to the grand eld republican party. Ex-senator Johnson, talked wise ly and well on the subject of Ways and Means. S. L. Kline congratulated the party on the nominations. Dr. Loggaa, of Philomath, congratulated the candi dates. Good speeches were made by many of the candidates on tbe ticket, J. M. Cameron outlined the policy to be pursued andT. T. Vincent made an able plea ia -behalf 6f the country 'mem bers of tbe delegation. W. P. Lafferty followed with forcible remarks on party loyalty, Geo. Cooper, of Philomath and S. N. WilkiBs gave some sound practical advice and Supt. Denman closed the ex ercises with an able summary of condi tions and prospects. The meeting was a grand success in every particular, and at 12 o'clock closed one of the most en joyable gatherings of the year. Dr. Lowe, the well known oculo-opti-cian, will arrive in Corvallis, Thursday noon and leaves Saturday noon. He will not return for six months. The 17th of this month Dr. Lowe, the well known eye-sight specialist, starts for New York to take the post-graduate course. Don't take chances with your eyes nor let others do so for you.

Why not have ad, CHRIST IS RISEN. paster Services in the Principal : - Churches of the City." At the Church of Christ, T. S. Handeaker, pastor, the services were unusually impressive Themoin ing sermon was preached by Rev. E. C. Sanderson, Dean, of the Eu gene Divinity School. The subject was ''The Resurrection" and was an able and scholarly presentation of the accepted truths of this cult. The choir service was abov-a the us ual standard, with a solo by Miss Winnie Cameron. The church was tastefully decorated. ,f The service of the eveuing' was evangelical and much interest was shown,' and one confession made. . ; : u ' An innovation in , Easter service was that held by the Sunday school classes of the Baptiet church. Tbe musical part of the program was ex quisitely rendered.. There were special Easter ser vices at the Congregational church. SpKiial music had been prepared by the choir, under the efficient man agement of Mrs. Grten. A large congregation attended tbe services, both morning and evening. The day was afT that any due could de sire the sunshine without and the beautifully decorated church with in. Everything that could speak of E tster newness of life,, was to be seen and ministered. The morning service was one of the unified mod ern services that the church is be coming noted for. From the organ prelude to the benediction, every part had been made to harmonize with the the geueral theme. . The anthems, the hymns and the solos all announcing one truth, while the minister's discourse, as he. said, "went through like trains in sec tions, each section introducing an anthem or solo, preselected to make one harmonious whole. The even ing service was of the concert order, and gave greater variety even than did the service of the morning. The music was of the highest order, in troduced . by Mrs. Green into this choir. Gounod, Mogart and Han del sang again through the choir. The day will long remain in the memory as an inspiration ' and" a power. "' '" ' - The Easter services at the Pres byterian church were greatly en joyed by immense audiences. . In the evening there was not near room enough and crowds were turned away. The special feature was tbe, music by the choir. - In the morn ing, three excellent anthems were rendered. This was followed by a sermon by Rev. A. Carrick on The Resurrection of ChriBt, the Accredi ted Faith,T and the observance of the communion. In the evening, the cantata "From the Sepulchre to the Throne" was beautifully ren dered. The solos by Mrs. Lake and Miss Spangler, as well as those by Messrs. Johnson and. "Herse, were exceptionally fine. Prof. Ful ton's voice was a tower of strength in the quartets and choruses. The judgment of many was that, the cantata was the finest music ever given before a religious audience in Corvallis, Great credit is due Mrs. Wilson, the organist, and Mr. Her se, the chorister, for this rich musi cal treat. Rev. Carrick gave an in teresting talk on . "What Has the Easter Day Been to Us?" The fol lowing constituted the choir: Or ganist, Mrs. Inez Wilson; sopranos, Mrs. Lake and Miss Spangler: altos, Mesdames Lee and Bryson and Miss Danneman: bass, Prof. Mc- Kellops and Messrs.
