Many families in Corvailis mis calculated on the amount of wood that would be required to do them Until spring, and as a result there is a general cry for fuel, w'th none in right to supply the demand.

W's, ruuredav night in splendid style. Toe gentlemen prepared all the re freshments and did all the work of serving, and a jolly time is report ed. There are two cases of poarlet fever of a mild form at the Charlie Young home on college street. The victims are Susie and Charly, Jr , the son and daughter, the former having been ill about ten days. The ailment was not pronounced scarlet fever until Friday, when the home was at once quarantined, and everything possible will be done to prevent a spread of the disease. What is said to have beea one of the pleasantest class parties held this year occurred in Miss Snell's and Prof. Berchtold's rooms at OAC, Friday night. It was the Janior party given in honor of the Seniors and the hosts certainly proved themselves equal to the oc casion. A fine program was given and there were games and refresh ments and a general good time for everyone. The contract with the Warren Construction company of Portland for the paving with bitulithic pave ment of seven blocks of Willamette street has been signed by the may or and the officials of the company, says a di-patch to the Journal. The wor will begio as soon as the Willamette Valley company begins work on the street railway.

"Bill" Hayward, who was recent ly in Seattle at the indoor track meet, has a high opinion of the Uni versity of Washington track team, which Oregon meets in Seattle, May 3l8t. He says Washington Las de veloped some strong men under Trainer Connibear, and that the team is especially strong in the dis tance and pole vault, says the Tele- tt Iff " a . gram. -we can prooably win from Washington," said Hayward, 'but we will be pressed.

R entertainment and supper last Sat urdav night amounted to $37.

There are 800,000 miles of tele- giapb and telephone lines in this country at the present time which requires 32,000,000 poles. A pole lasts cu the average twelve years and is made from a tree sixty years old. To maintain a continuous supply five times as many trees must be growing in the forest as there are poles in use. Experi ments are being made which if ruccessful will very materially add to the length of the life of the pole. Ex. John Sevey was in from their big bop anch yesterday and reports the entire 140 acres grubbed over in good shape and ready for cultiva ting. He says he hears that there are a number of growers who are not going to the expense of erub bing and cultivating this year. among them being Miller Bros., who have 60 acres, as they say the present outlook as to price will uot justify tbe expense. All tbat is ot fered for prime hops at this place is from 7. to 10 cents. iiugene Regis ter.

The contracts for the Stanford-Oregon meet have not been signed yet Nor has any word been received from Stanford other than the ac ceptance for tbe date, May 3rd. The correspondence is thought to hav been held up on account of the washouts on the railroad in California. Daily large additions of names to the referendum petitions on tbe University of Oregon appropriation are being re ported, and while tbe petitions have not been circulated in other counties yet, if the petitions to be circu ated throughout the state are as numerously signed as those which Lave been circulated thus far in Linn county, the $125,000 appro priation will be referred to the people at the next election by a large majority.

Davenport paid -.$8500 for "Hydrafi," who is now 16 years old, and was on exhibition on the "Trail" at tbe Lewis and Clark Fair.

Oregonian FOB SALE A nice line of second band lurniture, carpets and matting a Kempin'a new store. 28-31 Real estate men and the Citizens' League statu tbat but few inquiries are being received trom Easterners at pres ent in regard to Oregon, yet tamilies con tinue to arrive each week from the vari ous eastern states, seeking homes in Ore gon. This fact shows plainly that the advertising dons over a year ago is still doing good, as it takes many a family several months or even a year or two in making a decision involving a change of residence. . This is all very well so far as it goes, but it does not go far enough. Corvailis and Bentoa county should not be satisfied to sit down and fold their hands complacently over what has been accomplished; rather should they be rustling more money to pay for more ad vertisiuij to induce more people to come to Oregon to buy more land, erect more dwellings, engage in more enterprises, and join in the general movement for a bigger, better ana richer Oregon. It's up to them. Let s watch em. NOriCfi TO FARMERS Good alsike clover seed W saie at 104 cents per pound. W. S. Tomlinson, Albany, Oregon. 27-35 R. F.

Chief Lane met his Waterloo, Sunday. It isn't pleasant, sometimes, to be forced by tbe. law into meddling with other people's affairs and interrupting tbe pleasures of either the small boy or the adnlt law-breaker, as the case may be, but it has to be done, and thereby bangs a tale. The chief was meandering along Main street, Sunday, with never a thought of ill will towards his fellowmen, when suddenly, in passing a stairway, ho be held a sight that made his fatherly soul sick. It was a group of small urchins evidently bent on mischief, for in the mouth of each was the end of a nasty, nasty cigarette. xrue, there was no smoke curling upward from the vile weeds, but with a tightening of the lips, indicating great determination, the chiaf halted and approached the culprits. 'Here, yon kids, throw awav those cigar ettes" commanded the big, fierce police man, but a wide-eyed stare was bis only reply. "I say, bevs, take those dirty things out of your mouths," reiterated the chief, when the smallest boy of the lot plucked up courage to falter, "Why, mi;ter, they're caudy. Don't you want one?" And then the guardian of Corvai lis' peace promptly offered to treat the crowd at the nearest candy store. If I We have too large a stock of Ladies' Shirtwaists.
