but this is final." . " -
Again, the same writer adds
"We have exhausted our re
sources with the railway people
and have received a positive and
emphatic assurance from them
that they cannot, and therefore
will not, be able to run an excur
sion from Corvallis on June 15 if
they are required also to run an
excursion from Eugene the fol
lowing dav."
Our people then took the mat
ter up with W. E.; Coman of the
bouthern racihc Co., arja were

W. Johnson, president or our
league, it is very apparent that
Mr. Hardee was a long way irom
"exhausting our resources, ' or
else he had very little resource to
start with.
Mr. Coman assures us that our
train will be here early on the
morning of June 15 and those
who return will be at home by
midnight on the same date. - He
makes it plain that Mr. Hardee
did not quote -us correctly, and
adds: "It is to be regretted that
i-the Exposition people set their
dates without consulting the
various railroads, for had they
done so first, it would have pre
vented any chace of misunder

Now let every fellow set his
mind at easy and await patiently
the dawning of -June 15, for that
is ours and we must make it a
memorable "Corvallis Day."

the election of mavor. The two
men ballotted for were. A. J.

Some of our town "wags" put up
and outrageous job on B. W. John
son along about last Wednesday.
They phoned that on recount of the
ballots cast at Monday ,s city elec
tion a mistake had been discovered
whereby Z. H. Davis was mayor by
two votes, instead of A. J. Johnson.
Burt is reported to have "hit the
high places" enroute to E. R.
Bry son's office to counsel with that
gentleman. Mr. Bryson was in
the job and gave our genial Post
master no comfort. While they
were consulting A. J. Johnson,
likewise in the job, chanced (?)
into Mr.i Bryson's office and con
firmed the sad news that the jig
was up and Mr. Davis, not himsell,
was mayor. . We think Burt is on
by now. .
