Editor Gazette: As you asked us to iot down any matters of interest noted by us on this hur ried and unexpected trip and send them to you, and having for the first time since leaving home, today a ; few leisure moments, I will; comply with your request. Mrs. Holroyd and family ar rived here feeling as well as could be expected after the strenuous experiences incident to such a trip, and Mr. Holroyd was laid away on the 25th inst., surround ed by all his surviving children, except one, and a large concourse of friends, including many of the oldest pioneer citizens of Oelwein and Fayette County. He was universally respected here, as in Corvallis. I find Fayette county to be a very rich, fertile and prosperous one. Many 01 the "Iowa vJol ony" contingent at Corvallis, originally came from this section. O. J. Blackl oge I think went from near Des Moines. L The Whites, Lewises, Jones, Potts and others went from Oelwein, while the Colberts, fcranciscoes. Bar have not met ? any. person from this immediate vicinity. I find the people here thrifty, prosper ous and hospitable, but have been surprised that - almost all, who have acquaintances at Corvallis, hope and expect1 to visit Benton county, many " with a view to locating. - Fearing that many here have not seen a great number of native Oregonians, and might" be pre juaiced against Uenton county for having met me, I have tried very hard to be en my best be havior while here and feel that have been very successful for have never received better treat' ment tnan tnat tendered me since coming here. - . 1 have bought the heaviest cloths I could find, have assured all that I have enjoyed their de lightful weather, which they tell me is remarkably mild for this season ot the year, but 1 will be glad when I have . turned my face homeward toward the little city known as the "Heart of the Valley' and the land that is the home of the big red apples. Yours cordially, J. F. Yates Additional Local. dens. Fowells and Ashbv's went from Fayette. Oelwein is strictly - a railroad town, and a good one. Two railroads, the Rock Island and he Great Western, run through this place, but only the latter has its car shops and offices here. Really the Great Western has made the town what it is, a live, progressive city of more than 6000 in population, where is lo cated the greatest car and ma chine shops west of the Missis sippi river. As I went through one of the largest ot these, which is a Duiiding 1,000 leet long, 1 found myself wishing' that we had such at home. Yesterday, having expressed a desire to go to Fayette, the form er home of many Corvallis peo ple, I found at my. disposal a fine cutter and team, and after taking a township plat and wrap ping mySelt in Frank Francisco's big fur coat, which I brought with me, and to - which I have machines $18 ; 97tf stuck to like a sick kitten to a hot jam," I started out. Al though Fayette is situated about as far from Oelwein as Monroe from Corvallis I found it ' more difficult for a webfooter to drive over all untamiliar route here in winter, where many roads at this season are unbroken and snow drifts abundant, than the same distance at home. Several times afier following up the well beaten tracks, I would land in the farm- Drop head sewing at Biackledge's. General Thorp arrived home from Chicago, Saturday. We un derstand that he reports the agri cultural mobile - completed and everything looking very favorable. Acme Washing Machines a Biackledge's. 97 tf George W.

This is the closing week of our 36th Annual Clear ance sale, v - Don't fail to take advantage of the radical reductions that we have made in all departments. KLINE Established 1864 Corvallis, Ore. The People's Store So L it NO WORE DISH TICKETS, Only One Corvallis Girl. As matters now stand - Corval lis will have but one representa tive, or candidate, in the field for the trip to Yellowstone Park, made possible by the Oregonian contest, and this young lady is Miss Agnes Wilson. During a temporary absence of Miss Lulu Spangler many of her friends, yard of some thrifty farmer, and among whom were influential have to ask for instructions be- business men, m recognation of fore proceeding further. I ie- her many services to the public, ceived very courteous treatment, however, from those who could not help but see that I was a ten derfoot and a novice at sleigh ing, and after I got in the vicin ity of Fayett all that was neces sary as a passport and a certih cate cf ,good behavior, was to state that I knew some of the Corvallis people formerly from this section as they are all well known. On arriving at Fayette I found the comfortable and hospitable; home of Mr. and Mrs. Webster (a sister of Mr. Fowells) whom I bad already learned to designate as Uncle Will and Aunt Sarah. Here, after partaking of a deli cious dinner, tne good people placed a fresh team and sleigh at my disposal, and accompanied me on a drive over the town. This is a quaint, picturesque. home town, whose inhabitants are alljwell-tc-do citizens, and re tired farmers. Here is located the North Iowa University, an institution backed by private en dowments whose campus and buildings are on a par with our state college, the OAC. I only had time to visit the science hall where Miss Maggie Fowell form erly taught. Afterwards I was driven to the country home of Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Johnson, nee Francisco, whom I found com fortably situated and up to the usual standard of Iowa hospital i tv. Here I met the talented daughter of this family, a teach er of elocution who has made quite a reputation locally in her line of .work. I have heard many inquiries about the Chipmans, but as they came from Strawberry Point, I desiring to show appreciation of such service, entered her name in the contest. Not being aware of the 4 act that Miss Wilson was the first to enter the contest, Miss Spangler allowed her name to be used. It must be stated that those who proposed Miss Spangler's name were not aware at the time- that Miss Wilson was already in the field. So soon as the fact be came known to Miss Scantier she gracefully withdrew her name and Miss Wilson is in the field alone. Miss Spangler and all her supporters will render loyal assistance to Miss Wilson. The latter is a very popular and worthy young lady and let us all do what we can to secure her the trip to the Yellowstone. Do your best for the glory of Cor vallis there are others in the field.
