A few nights ago a man called at Howell's Candy Kitchen on Third street at 2 o'clock in the morning and wanted Mr. How ell . to open the store and sell him something to eat. The-pro: prietor remembered the several burglaries that have occurred in Corvallis the past few weeks, and wisely informed the early visitor that he did not care to sell goods at that hour. Mr. and Mrs.' J. K. Neal, of Buena Vista were in Corvallis last week, leaving for home on Friday. Mr. Neal conducts a large genera1 merchandise store at that place and his business in this city was to consult a local contractor in regard to building him a residence in Buena V ista.

He made his best run from Oregon City to Port land, doing the 15 miles in an hour. He says the roads in Benton and Multnomah counties are good but that those in Polk and Marion are somethingfierce.

The affair was very unique, many striking and original ver ses appearing in the glasses of jams and jellies. .Needlework and conversation ' were the fea tures of the afternoon, light re freshments being served. About 25 young women enjoyed the affair, which was very pleasant. Miss Belknap's marriage to Roy Hollenberg is to occur early in September.
