""Some husbands let their
wives go about the house in
mother-hubbards. They look
like a feather bed with a string
tied around it, and whenever
they go out in the yard on a
windy day they look like a bal
loon ascension."
Mr. and Mrs. William Kit
tridge returned Tuesday from
Ashland, where they had been
at the bedside of the former's
mother, who has been danger
ously ill at that place. She is
gradually improving, however,
and the news was gladly received
in Corvallis, where the lady has
many friends.
The South Bend, Ind., watch
people are" exhibiting, in the
show window at Pratt's Jewelry
store, a watch encased in a solid
chunk of ice, which is expected
to keep perfect time under all
extremes, of either heat or cold.
It will be tested for a week and
seems to be knocking off the'
time in good shape.
Edwin II. Pratt packed his
grip on Thursday and started to

spreading business sails accord
ing to the dictates of his own

active young man, of good moral
character, ever attentive to busi

The Oregon State Dairy Asso
ciation has been recognized by
the Agricultural Department at
Washington, T). C, and assur
ance is given that Government
experts will participate in the
convention on December 10th,
and 11th at Salem. A rate of a
fare and a third for the round
trip has been made from all
points in the state.
The Ladies' Aid society of the
Congregational church met with
Mrs. F. Berchtold Wednesday
afternoon and made elaborate
jjlans.f or .their annual Christinas
fair, which decurs on the 11th of
December and promises to be
the largest and most unique sale
ever attempted bv thej ladies of
that church. Mrs, Charles Lunt
was recently appointed president
of the Aid.
Reports here are to the effect
that work has been resumed on
the . Corvallis & Alsea railroad
and one and one half miles of
track will be laid at once in or
der that the; road may be ex
tended to Monroe.,. I Millions of
feet of lumber can be readily
reached along this line and the
value of such an achievement in
this part of the - valley cannot
easily be estimated. , " r1

The -chorus choir,"under; the
supervision of Revr Davis, met
at the Baptist chureh on Tuesday
night and elected the following
officers : President, Mrs. Pink

Laws, Messrs. White, William

Buildings are being construct
ed so rapidly in Corvallis that it
is hard work' to' keep tab on all
of them. Mr. Chappell has a
new eight room house ready for
plastering, located on';8th, be
tween -Madison and Jefferson,
and we never caught site of it
until yesterday. An old settler
paid a visit to a friend in Jobs'
addition the other day for the
first time in three months and
he had to ask the neighbors
which house the friend lived in.
While climbing the stairs
from the cellar, Tuesday morn
ing, Mrs. Evan P. Hughes fell,
striking her side against a stick
of wood which she carried under
her right arm, causing her in
tense pain. Dr. Farra was called
to examine the injured lady and
stated that only severe bruises
had resulted, although it was at
tirst presumed that she had
broken a rib. Mrs. Hughes is
resting comfortably at present
and it is hoped she will soon re
cover. Dr. Withycombe has looked
up the records and finds not one
girl graduate of the Oregon Ag
ricultural College who
has. fig
ured as complainant or defend
ent in a divorce proceeding.
The credit goes to the domestic
science branch of the Doctor's
excellent school. The young
woman who is taught how to do
it can keep the male brute in
good humor, and that is all there
is to it. We assume that female
graduates of the Agricultural
College get married like other
women. v

Mr. W, 0. Swann has rssigned
his position as a general utility
man at the store ot Hollenberg
& Cady and has accepted a posi
tion as book-keeper and general
salesman with Franklin Bros, at
Mt. Vernon, Washington. He
and his most estimable wife ex
pect to leave Corvallis on Thurs
day for the new home. Mr. and
Mre. Swann have lived in Cor
vallis for the past i,en years and
have justly earned the reputa
tion of being numbered among
our best citizens. For two years
Mr. Swann taught -in the. public
schools here and for nearly five
years he has been the "happy"
man at Hollenberg & Sons. As
workers in the church they will
be greatly missed by the Meth
odist brethren. A royal recep
tion was tendered them by the
church people on Tuesday night.
We have no hesitancy whatever
in recommending Mr. and Mrs.
Swann to the good people of Mt.
