NO CAUSE FOR COMPLAINT.
Conditions in Portland Alarming
The Fuel Famine.
Although the past week has;
been a cold one for this section'
and people in Corvalhs have
complained not a little of the
frostv mornings and chilling
breezes, they should really go
about with smiling countenances
when conditions elsewhere are so
much worse. Fancy having
no'hing but wet slab wood to
burn, these cold days!
Portland is in the rasp of win
ter and people are suffering from
lack of fuel. The condition is
declared to -be the worst in the
history of the city, an-i the Tele
gram says:
"In the meantime dealers are
doing all within their power to re
lieve the shivering condition of
the people who from force of cir
cumstances are without fuel.
Tea msters are . ktpt on the jump
from early morning until night,
in order that more wood than
ever may be delivered.
"The classes that suffer most
from cold rooms are tenants in
buildings where steam heat is not
used. Housekeeping-room occu
pant? who have no place to store
any great quantity of wood are
likely to be edtiiely out, and ten-
ants of office buildings dependent
on the stove in the room are for
tunate if they have fuel enough
to keep them from freezing.
These people are wearing all the
clothes they can put on and ear
nestly hoping that the clerk of
the weather bureau will releat or
the fuel companies deliver the
orders now several days old.
"Green slab wood is the only
fuel that can be obtained within
a reasonable time after it is or
dered, but this will not burn
without dry wood to go wi h it.
aud so there is little use in get
ting green slab.
"Coal was $13 a ton today, and
dry slab 3 a load. Boxwood
has advanced to $2 a load, and
you have to wait a week at least
before vcu can get a load of
this."
Albany Shippers' Meeting.
D.astie legislation to remedy
car shortage evils was discussed
at the Oregon Shippers' and
Producers' Convention, which
met in Albany yesterday prepar
atory to being submitted to the
state legislature. Among the
remedies proposed in a tensative
measure which had been drawn
up for discussion is a requirement
that railroad companies must fur
nish cars as soon as ordtred or
pay the shipper $5 a day per car
tsr every day's delay. -hi;
measure also prohibits discrimi
nation as to community or ship
per and provides for a state rail
way commission. .
The bill was agreed on by re
presentatives of the . Portland
Chamber of Commerce, of the
Portland Board of Trade, and of
the Oregon and Washington
Lumberman's Association. It!
was sent to the local committee
by J. M. Teal of Portland.
This proposed measure con
tains the most drastic provisions
of its kind ever advocated in Ore
gon. It also contains measures
for the protection of the railroad,
however, in regard to the proper
ordering and loading of cars.
In addition to the consideration
of this bill, which will be one ot
the main subjects before the big
convention, a resolution will be
introduced requesting the legisla
ture to call the attention of con
gress to the failure of the railroad
companies to comply with tht
land grant law.
Contrary to the original con
vention, representatives of tht
railroad companies were invitee
to participate in the convention
The list of speakers includes Gov
ernor George E. Chamberlain, J
N. Teal and J. O. Story, of Port
land; Stephen A. Lowell, of Pen
dletoa; Seaator I. H. BiagbamJ
ofBagene;B. Hofer, of SaUm:Ttal
D. E. Yoran, - president of the
Business Meii's League, of Eu
gene,and C. J. Howard, presi

Cottage Grove.
For Paved Streets.
Initial steps were taken Tues
day night at the meeting of the
city council toward the paviug of
First street when on motion, the
city attorney was ordered to pr -pare
an ordinance providing for
the paving of First street from
the west line of Ferrv street 10
the east line of Washington
street, and also Ferry, Broadalbin
and Ellsworth streets from First
street to SecOnd street, says the
Albany Herald.
The matter of paving- Al
bany's thoroughlares has been
discussed by the council from
time to time but no definite act
ion has ever been taken until
Tuesday night when the subject
was again bronght up by Mayor
Wallace in his annual message.

and bis friends hope to hear of his
speedy recovery.
MEETING AT WELLS.
On
Saturday Next
Program.
Week The
A big parents' meeting is
scheduled to occur at Wells, ten
mile; north of Corvallis, next
Saturday, January 19th. It is
one of the sort of meetings that
has made Sup't G. W. Denman
so successful in his field of labor,
as it brings teachers, parents and
children together in a social and
educational way and 'creates an
interest in school work that no
other method has ever succeeded
in creating.
The program begins at 10:30
a. m. next batuiday, and wium
ciude singing by the audienc
an. address by Sup't Denman r
the Trend of Modern Educ
tion;" music by the phonograph;
address, "Agriculture in Public
Schools." by R. N. Williamsou;
singing; address,. "The Big
School Fair; the Parents' Part,
The Pupils' Part," Sup't Den
man. '
At noon a basket dinner will
be spread ai.d everyone who at
tends is supposed to bring a gen
erous supply of good things to
eat.
The literary program for the
day will be furnished by districts
number three and 32, and it will
be well worth hearing.
These meetings have become
very -popular events among school
patrons in Benton county, and
the results derived are too far
reaching to permit of attempt at
explanation. The people are
alive fo the benefits tj be secured
from such gatherings, and the
attendance is such as to attest
the populaiity of the meetings in
all parts of the county.
Played Many Games.
After an enjoyable as well as a
very successful tour of the north
west, the basket ball men reach
ed home yesterday. The boys
made a record of which any team
might j'istly tfeel proud, and in
which Corvallis feels a universal
interest.
The tour included games with
thi following towns with the fol

And Says There is Money in It A
Visitor.
A man in Corvallis this week
from a neighboring part of the
county talked of the benefits of a
cannery -to a community, and
commented on the articles that
have recently appeared in the
Gazette on that subject.
This man has a brother in
another state who is eugaged in
this business aud the statement of
this gentleman is that there is
big money in it for those who
operate the plant, to say nothing
of the benefits that accrue to the
town and locality in which the
plant is established.
"I know something about it.
and I tell you there is nothing
like it for building up a town,"
declared this visiter, remarking
at the same time that if Corvallis
would follow up the agitation
begun and not rest until capital
ists or others were induced to in
vest in such a proposition great
hings could and would be ac
complished for this section.
This idea is not new in Cor
vallis nor in Benton, but it re
mxins only an "idea" and until
some one puts it into practical
use and acts upon it there will be
hundreds of bushels of fruit go
to waste annually in Benton
county that might easily be con
verted into cash.
While some ot the farmers of
this section follow the same old
lines of wheat raising and do not
seek to try the new ideas of farm
ing, there are many more who
go in for the advanced methods
aod who would gladly join in a
movement for establishment
that wauld mean steady employ
ment for many persons and help
to build up the town aud county.
Several of the papers in neigh
boring towns have in recent
weeks touched upon this subject
for their sections, and the Ga
zette' now, as in the past, urges
the subject upon the attention ot
its readers, believing it to be of
the greatest importance to the
people hereabouts, both' in and
out oi town, since the benefits to
be derived would be for all class
es. Merchants Carnival.
Striking represeutations, laugh
able situations, brilliant and as
tounding electiical displays, dain
ty delsarte drills and captivating
capers will mark tlie presentation
of the Spectacular Carnival to be
given at the opera house next
Monday and luesday evenings
under the auspices ot the ladies ol
the Episcopal church.
This one popular entertain
ment has been often rightly called
a scene from wonderland and
with its beauty, color and artistic
arrangement creates a scene not
soon forgotten by those who at
tend.
Rehersals are iu progress and
all concerned are working hard
to make this affair the real social
event of the season.
Seventy five young ladies and
little girls are taking part and a

Elwood Clark In It.1
An Eastern Oregon exchange
tells of a big coyote hunt in that
section, in which Elwood Clark,
a former Corvallis . man partici
pated. It says:
Thursday Dr. Taylor, Elwood
dark ami Tfem Carucw af Vale,
Dr. Payne of Ontario, together
with a number of other parties
started out with a bij band of
dogs to bring in all the yelping,
snapping, barking coyotes, that
'ord it over the range in this
county. They were welcomed
early Thursday morning with a
challenge from the hills north
west of Vale where about twenty
coyotes were singing 1 their an
nouncement of storm to come.
They little realized that Wess
Caveness as chief of the scouting
party was rounding up his braves
for that momentous evect, and
that for fifty miles around Wess
had secured the best and swift
est hounds the county afforded,
and that each of these scouts had '
the latest repeating army revol
vers and ammunition enough to
blow the city of Portland into
the sea 100 miles distant.
Fully one hundred men offered
their services to Wess but only
the select few were choseu.
Every one in that crowd was a
marksman ot fame and we pro
phecy that they will have stories
of the coyotes that in legions lie
dead upon the prairies where
any peison could follow the
course of their travel by the car
casses and blood stains that make
a plain trail for the entire dis
tance of their travels.

MEETING
At OAC
Wednesday
Night-
What was Done.
The mid-winter meeting of the
OAC board of regents was held

000 for the Eastern Oregon ex
periment station, which reverted
to the state treasury after being
held up by the referendum, and
an additional $3,000 for the same
station.
A report by the executive com
mittee showed that operation of
the Eastern Oregon Experiment

has resulted in a profit of 1,500.
No secretary was elected to fill
the vacancy caused by the resig

It was agreed that it might be

or April.
On account of delayed trains
the meeting Wednesday could not
be held until after night.
Mr. and Mrs. Archie MiJntyre and
Mr. aad Mrs. Will McCullom, young
people, who have all attended OAC,
are now living in Alberta, Canada, and to
Corvallis relatives they write the ther
mometer g03s to 33 balow zero there
although 29 bslow is the usual
weather. However, they do not mind
it at all the letter says, but go out sleigh- x
ing and have a fine time. -It is a new
country and the peo-le are very friendly
and go in for dances, parties, socials
and other amusements. These young
couples are living on homesteads which
they have taken up. Mrs, Mclntyre was
formerly Miss Frankie Cantborn, and
Mrs. McCallon was Miss Bertba Henkle,
both of this city.
