The Task on Hand.
Philip It. Bates, publisher of
the Pacific Northwest and other
journals, was in our city during
the first of the week in the inter
est of his business. He is a
genial and affable gentlems n and
is doing a good work for Oregon.
The Pacific Northwest is, at
present, making strenuous efforts
to induce Easterners to come to
the coast. Not only is Mr. Bates
doing his utmost to induce peo
ple to come West, but once here
is making it - his business to
locate them on farms and estab
lish them in such industries as
they may desire. In. order to
accomplish this task, he takes
great pains in finding out the
business would-be locators would
like to engage in and the amount
of money they have to invest.
This must be ascertained before
ilM-e desiring to coqie , to the
-Coast abandon their Eastern loca
tions. In order to have something to
offer those who communicate
with him, Mr. Bates must keep
thoroughly posted on every
section of this country and for
this reason Mr. Bates desires to
maintain close relations with all
real estate dealers and boards of
trade and civi c i m provement so
cities of the v.ir'ou', cities of
Oregon.

conclusion of the services a general
church r i pt on is to be held. .
The services during the week have
been conducted b" the following; Mon
day night, Rev. J. W. McDongall of Al
bany ; Tuesday night, Dr, T. B. FoHj. of
Portland; Wednesday right, D, F.
Kurgeit Short, Portland, and last night
Kev. Harold Oberg, Portland.
Ine sermon by JtC'v cU-ingiill was
one of the most powerful and practical
heard in this citv for a long time. His
bu j?i-t was, "Raising the Standard;"
first, the standard of ; union 'among the
v i'iods ciriich denominations; second,
the standard; el love, by which all per
sons are more easily reached - than
t irough any other source of appt-n
t 'ird, the standard of work, ench one i
God's followers aiming at the best of
w n-li he is capable, am not content un
til the work of the Master is placed on
the highest possible . plane, all things
petty and trivial being thrust aside and
all obstacles overcome that might hinder
christian progress.
Kev. M.-Dougill called attention to
some of the things that sap. the. strength
ol a church. One of these evils was se
cret unbelief among professors of reli
gion ; another was the "stumps" that are
found in every church in other words
the "kickers" whose voices are lifted in
opposition to all undertakings, and
whose influence is a poison that, diffused
among tne brethren, produces the worst
sort of dissatisfaction, friction and dis
cord.
This was Bey. McDougall's first visit
to Corvallis,' and he will be gladly wel
comed whenever he comes again.
Dr. Ford, who spoke Tuesday evening,
discussed the. subject, "The Law of
H man and Divine Co-partnership.'' He
contended that since beasts, birds and
fowls are not one whit wiser nor farther
advanced now than they were in tne be
ginning, aud that since man, and man
alone, is never satisfied with results
achieved, thus showing a tendency to go
on and on forever, it is reasjnabla to as
sume that a just God will satisfy this
nature by an eternal exfotance. The
speaker's points were well made, his con
clusions logical and the service as a whole
impressive and interesting.
Special music Monday night was a
vocal solo by R. N. White, accompanied
by Frank White, and Tuesday night Mrs.
Peterson pleased all with a well-re - dered
solo, her accompanist beintr Mre. E, F.
Green.
Perhaps the mft gn. ral praififl ot the
week's service, was besloxrd ihi-iii the
serwon of Wednesday nitit. The i-eak-er
was Rev. Ji.urgett eh.ort,' of Portland,
who was a stronger here, this beini his
first visit to Corvallis. After congrat ulat
ing the cimrch on its improvement and
outlook, and also the city ,s Rev. Short
spoke for over an hour on the vital sub
ject of "Prayer." He held that prayer
was as necessary to the Christian man
Or woman as is air, food and drink for
the development of the physical beinu;
he urged upon all the necessity of a se
cret place of prayer and struck many
listeners a direct blow when he declared
that few of them did an over-amount ot
praying anywhere, save possibly in pub
lic meetings, which is not reaily praying
at all. '
Rev. Short has an original style and is
a deep thinker, his sermon being deeply
appreciated by a large audience: By his
own offer,' he may return to Corvallis
later, and deliver a lecture, the funds to
be given to. the M. E. chuoch improve
ment fund,
A feature of interest at this service was
a vocal solo by Dr. Cathey, accompanied
by Miss Marie Cathey.
The sermoi last night was to be by
Rev.v Oberg, former pastor here, now in
Portland.
Tne formal opening of the church will
occur next Sunday morning, at which
time Rev. Rader, , of Portland, ;and Dr.
Rowland are to be present, The services
begin at 10 :30, preceded by a love fsast.

AMONG THE BOYS
Great interest and enthusiasm
is being stirred up among the
hoys of this city as the result of
a unique and original offer made
by
J. M. NOLAN & SON
This store announces that the
salesman for Ederheimer, Stein
& Co., makers of XtragooD
Boys' Clothing, Chicago, will call
upon them within ten days and
they offer to give, free, any $5.00
XtragooD suit, in their store to
the first boy under sixteen who
finds and identifies this salesman
A feature of this plan is the
one set expression which must be
used by the young detectives,
who are required to say: "You
are from Ederheimer, Stein &
Co., Chicago, and sell XtragooD
clothes.". The salesman, it is
said, will not admit his identity
unless addressed in these precise
words.
, So active have the boys become
in their search that every strang
er who reaches town is quickly
besieged and questioned by a
crowd of young sleuths.
