Tiie route mapped out by the parade committee should be longer by several blocks. It should be at least two miles long.

Then again many have gone to great ex pense in making display floats, who will be very anxious to make the niost of the occasion. The crowd also can scatter out along the diff erent streets and enjoy the features to the fullest extent. Buyyow 4th of July outfit ana turiusainas or Nolan & PHILOMATH COLLEGE Plans for Future Work Outlook Very Encouraging. Philomath College is planning for a larger and more ; efficient liie than ever before. The in structor in the commercial de partment will take special train ing in a Portland business college. Miss Abrams will do poit-gradu-ate work in the Salem College of Oratory. Miss McDonald is at tending the summer session of the California State University, Berkeley. Mrs. White will take special work under one of the best music teachers on the Coast. The graduating class was the largest in the history of the insti tution. Twenty-two diplomas and certificates were granted cov ering the following courses: Stenography and Typewriting, Commercial, Normal, Music, Classical and Master's Degree. 1 Most liberal donations and en dowments have been given this year as proof of faith in the future of this institution. The outlook is surely bright. Rev. F. W. Jones was returned as college pastor. The offer of the Radical United Brethren at the recent session of conference at Salem, to purchase the col lege was not seriously considered, however, a committee was ap pointed to investigate the matter and report later; Plans are on foot to enlarge the student capac ity of the school, and work will doubtless begin this year. Philo math College is here and here to stay. Dr. Thompson at Home. Dr. E. J. Thompson, pastor cf the Presbyterian church, looks hale and hearty after a six week's visit in the sun scorched East. While on his trip the doctor de livered an address before one of the literary societies of the Uni versity of Minnesota in which school he was at one time a pro fessor. He also attended the General Assembly ot the Presby terian church at Buffalo, N. Y., was banqueted by old schoolmates in the city of Boston, mingled with friends of boyhood days in Vermont and attended the. St. Louis exposition on his way home. Dr. Thompson found the same state of imcompleteness at the Fair that others have observed yet all one could reasonably want to see. Room and board in the city outside the grounds are to be had without extortionate charge, the doctor found, but within the grouuds no one is so neglectful as to fail to charge, for every privilege, even for drinking water. Oregon might have made a better showing, in the doctors judgment, by erecting an up-to- date building to compare with those of Washington and Cali fornia instead of a hundred year old log cabin to represent old Fort Clatsop. Dr. Thompsons welcome home has been most cordial. Westside Enterprise. A Needed Improvement. County School Superintendent, Denman, is contemplating a change in the system of keeping the records of his department. The custom has been to keep bonds, census blanks, teachers' reports, clerks' reports, etc, in separate bundles held together with a rubber band or string. When a report was required for reference, the entire bundle had to be separated and a great deal of time and trouble wasted in se curing the proper one. Supt. Denman is preparing a file now that will do away with all this. It consists of a series of envelopes, labeled according to each school district, each envel ope to contain a separate and dis tinct set of records. The name of the district with the report con tained therein will be upon each envelope, so that at a glance any required report from any district in the county can be secured with out useless waste of time and trouble. This improvement will greatly aid in reducing the great amount of office labor required and will give time and opportun ity in developing and improving the county schools along other lines. This improvement will cost but a trifle and will be in comparable when the results se cured are taken into considera Hon. The beat ice cream soda at Smalls. Philomath to Have New Depot. At last, after many long years of waiting Philomath is to have a new depot. Work was begun Wednesday morning. The new edifice is to ouilt several feet west of the present site. Several ot the Ie ding citizens are talking of celebrating the beginning of this work with fireworks and other equally demonstrative means. It is not known what the dimen sions of the new structure will be, but it will doubtless be sufficient ly large to accommodate the large crowds that come and go. With the growing importance of Philomath as a college and agri cultural center an attractive rail way depot is foremost consideration. The largest stock o whips, saddles and robes in the Willamette valley is found at J. M. Cameron's. Born to Mr. and Mrs. J M. McFadden, Monday, a daughter. W. H.

Join the crowd The nnion service that was to have occured on Sunday July 3rd has been called off. The c mmittee in making the arrangements did tso without consulting the different ministers of the city. When the ministers met to make arrange ments is was found that unanim ous action could not be secured be cause it involved the question of Sabbath violation. The state law concerning Sabbath violations does not cover the point of amusements howeve. In thw case there is no direct violation of the Sabbath, yet the issue was of such a nature that the Corvallis Ministerial Association could not give it their united sup port and the matter has been drop ped. The basket dinner will be held in the Court House yard how ever, and a sacred band coucert will be held in the evening. The Race Meet. Tickets for the Race Meet are now on sale at the drag stores and several other business houses about town.
