the placing of the contract for the
erection of the college Y. M. C. A.
building decided to do the work
themselves by day labor, not by
contract, and in pursuance of this

with the work on the same basis he
would if he had the contract. He
is doing this work on the basis on
which he remodeled the M. E.

foreman for the building Committee
and he is already getting estimates
on the various materials required

AN IOWA LETTER.
Former Corvallisite Writes from
the East, Jan. 29, 1906.'
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

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

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-

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.
