H The Willamette Valley company,

tion adopted by the city council, is
fencing the course of the Santiam
canal through the city. ;" This open
waterway has been a menace to

that it be made safe. Herald.
- A word just now in regard to
keeping the church property in or
der may not be amiss. . At this
season, grass and weeds vie with
each other in rapidity of erovth
and sad to relate tbe weeds all too
often get the upper hand. ; It looks
bad to see neglected church prem
ises, and a little care and tbe use ot
a scythe will work wonders. The
accumulation of trash in the alley,
back of aohnrcb, gives the property
a rakish air that should not be tol
erated.
At- Pendleton last' Saturday a
successful borse show was held in

thi. ty-two equestriennes and - the
animals and vehicles were decorated
in a lavish manner, making the
event one always to be remembered.
An effort will -be made to have an
nual horse fairs at that place. Ex.
This is another pro.jf that a horse
show is a good thing for a town.
Let everybody "boost" the comiDg
show in Corvallis. ... - :
Tbe Smiths had invited the min

was reached, little Willie, who had
been closely watching tbe guest a -

looked over at him once more and
said: "You haven't changed a bit
since you started eating, have you,
Mr, Curtis?" "Why no," laughed
the mitiister. VVhvdo you ask
that question?" "Because," blurt
