Corvallis is to receive unusual honor next month in the fact that she will en tertain the State Good Koads Associa tion in annual session. The meetings are scheduled to occur Nov. 15, 16, and 17, and the probabilities are that the court house will be the place chosen for holding them. This is the first time in the history of the association that the annuals meetings have not been held in Salem or Portland and that Corvallis re ceives the distinction on thiB occasion is perhaps largely due to the elfort of Judge Watters, who is a member of the execu tive board of the association. It is a foregone conclusion that' many of the professors of OAC will be active in assisting to make these meetings suc cessiul. The state university "at Eugene always has several representatives at these annual meetings. There are al ways representatives from nearly every county in the state. Governor Chamber lain is pretty certain to attend, as he is reported to be an enthusiastic advocate of better roads.

When a play has been given in Port land before coining to Corvallis, the pub lic can alwavs assure themselves of the kind and quality of the attraction by reading the Portland papers. And the fact that a play runs for a week at a Port land theatre is of itself a guarantee that it is worthy of patronage. "On the Bridge at Midnight" came to the Empire theatre last Sunday and has been running there ever since. It has received excellent press notices in both the Oregonian and the Journal, particularly in last Monday's Oregonian. This play was booked last summer from Chicago and this is the second season that the company has visited the.Pacific coast with the same play. In preparing the play it was insisted that it should avoid tne ordinary sensational claptrap and have a fresh, deep, wholesome, story with plenty of humor in it ; and that it should be unrivalled in its scenic details. The minglinir of humor and pathos in this play is as remarkable as the chief scene and the story so fashioned that for the deeply interested audience the great bridge, lifting its valves to let a steamer pass, is only an incident after all. There is a laudable eCect shown ii this play to avoid the cheap effects of reckless, sensa tional melodrama and to stick to the gen uine strength of wholesome drama. There are many characters besides the professor and the bootblack. , "On the Bridge at Midnight" will be presented in Corvallis on the 11th' inst. with ail the scenic effects and the same company of eleven players, that are pre senting the play in Portland this week. This play is something good; don't mies Eeserved seats are fifty and seventy- five cents, the first row down stairs only, bting seventy-five cents. Corvallis Lyceum Course.
