Dr. G. H. Feese and family
left Saturday for their home in
Portland. Dr. Feese expressed
himself as highly pleased over
the rapid development and ad

gelistic -work lie, has "boosted"

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 no definite arrange
ments, however, being undecid
ed as to whether to invest money
in building in such a small, iso
lated town.
uur neign boring towns are
just beginning to realize what it
means to have good, pure and
wholesome water. Eugene is
trying hard to solve the problem
and Ashland, at its last council
meeting, took under considera
tion the erection of an electric
power generating plant in Ash
land Creek Canyon to carry the
water by pipe line to the present
water system. Possibly they
have learned something from
Corvallis along this line. The
best money we ever spent was
for the water plant and it has
brought many substantial citi
zens.to our town. If the people
have good water they don't need
bad whiskey.

Leo Spaulding, of this city,
rode a bicycle from Corvallis to
Portland, Tuesday, 106 miles, in
14 hours, over all sorts, thus
making a new record. The previ
ous record, claimed by one of
the Kemp boys, was 16i hours.
Spaulding started from Corvallis
at 2:30 o'clock in the morning,
rested an hour and 45 minutes
in Salem and reached Portland
at 6:15 p. m. 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.

Miss Edna Groves was hostess
and Miss Frances Belknap honor
guest at a "jelly, jam and pre
serve shower," at the home of
the former Friday afternoon.
The affair was very unique,
many striking and original ver
ses appearing in the glasses of
jams and jellies. .Needlework

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. She is one of the

casion, is another teacher with
an equal claim to popularity.
