Warning to the Public WILL OPEN EXPOSITION SUNDAY. f Series of Institutes to be Held on that Day During Fair Enlighten ment of the People the Aim. ' Where do you get your laundry work done? Do you know that improperly washed clothing is one of the most fruitful fields for the breeding of all kinds of dis eases and germs? Do you know alo that the Corvallis Steam Laundry has a scientific process for washing clothes that renders them absolutely clean and free from all contamination? The laundry, which is home industry has everv modern convenience for doing only strictly first-class wor. Go down to the laundry building and see for yourself, the proprietor. Mr. Johnson will be pleased to show you every de tail of the work, the building is open to the public and any one may go who desires. Mr. Johnson makes all his own soap, bluing, bleaching, starch ing, etc., and oversees the entire plant with personal care. Most of the work is done by machin ery and in such a way that the most delicate fabrics are handled wun great care. mere is no tearing or stretching, or breaking of buttons. The work of finishing and wrapping is done by a gioupe of neatly dressed and handsome young ladies. Mr. Johnson's pay roll averages $250 a month, which is a fair indication of the amount of work done for the public, and the popularity of his plant Laundry arrives daily from all points on the C. & E. and from points on the S. P. as far distant as Dallas, Monmouth and Independence. There was a time when people were probably jusii fied in sending their laundry to Albany and other points but Cort vallis now has one that, can no be excelled anywhere in . the Willamette Valley. Patronize Home Industries. Sunday on the : Lewis and Clark exposition grounds will be observed ia an enlightening and edifying manner. Instead ot tightly closing . the gates to the public all davjas was the case at the St Louis, they wilt be thrown open at noon, although all the machinery will be stop ped, and all the exhibit build ings, except the Palace of Fine Arts, will be closed. One of the greatest series of institutes the world has ever known is being planned for the Exposition, embracing religion, education, civics, chanties and corrections, labor, scienoe, his tory, and woman's work. Nota ble men and women from all parts of the world will be selected to de liver addresses, including famous exponents of Buddhism, Moham medanism, and the religion of Confucius. A general program provides for an institute on each Susday between June 1 and Octo ber 15. The plan of keeping the exposition open, besides giv ing the people a chance to hear some noted speakers and become enlightened on many different subjects, affords an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful architect ure of the buildings and to drink in the glories of the landscape picture and the surrounding scenery. It is the aim of the manage ment to make the institutes of 1905 the greatest gathering of the kind ever held. The details in connection with the institute will be left to a committee of five educators and clergymen who will shape the program under the gen-; eral direction and with the co operation of the executive com mittee of the Exposition. The dominant idea will be to make a fair showing of all the " forces which have been material in the development of Western America and contributed to its progress. The conferences of religion held during this period will be addressed by men of national reputation, such as Lvman Ab bott or Amory H. Bradford of the Congregational church; Ed ward Everett Hale, Minot J Savage, Robert Collyer or Sam uel Eliot of the Unitarian church ; William S. Rainford or Heber Newton of the Episcopal church; Bishop McCabe, Bishop Fowler or Bishop Hamilton of the Meth odist church ; Archbishop Spald ing of the Roman Catholic church; Henry Van Dyke or C. Cuthbert Hall of the Presby terian church; Emil Hirsch or Leon Harris of the Jewish church and Felix Adler of the Ethical Culture society. GRAND';! .IPEMG. N0V.7 NOV. 19 ' FORCED SALEj Sir Thomas Lipton, probably the most popular Englishmen in American eyes, is likely to be a visitor at the Lewis and Clark Centennial next year. William P. Lydon, who is Sir Thomas' western representative, is author ity for the statement that the Lipton tea exhibit at St. Louis will be transferred to the Fair at Portland. Asvit is . known that Sir Thomas will be in the United States next summer, it seems likely that the great English merchant and sportsman will come West to see the Fair. The exposition authorities will extend him an earnest invitation to visit the Exposition, and should the great Englishman accept, as seems probable, his visit will. car ry with it an - importance second only to that which would attend the coming of King EdwaTd. . There will be no exhi? i; in Festival Hall at the Lewis -nd Clark Exposition at Paitund next year. The buildim; which will seat more than 2.500 per sons, will be used for cone Tts, lectures and conventions. OSES BROS. -a: Successors to W. P. Laffrty Dry Goods, .
