town or Ashwood, true to its reputa
tion of never doing things by halves,

the many friends of Mr. and Mrs. N.
Dornsife met at an early hour, at the
residence of Milo Wood and went In a
body to the home of Mr. ami Mrs.
Dornsife for a farewell party, which
was a complete surprise to them. The
visitors were made welcome and found
seats on packing boxes, beds and
everything available that could be
used for the purpose. Light refresh
ments were passed around and all
made merry for an hour, when affect
ing good-byes were said and a few
small gifts were left In the hands of
Uncle and Aunt "Poly," who are
great favorites with the coming men
and women of Ashwood. They de
parted next morning to make their
home in Dallas, Polk County in the
beautiful Willamette Valley, with
many good wishes and God-speeds
from all their friends. ;

COUNTY, OREGON,
NO EXCUSE FOR HOSTILITY
Petty Rivalries Between Neighbor
Towns Are Silly, Says Cor
vallis Times.
The following editorial from the
Corvallis Times contains so mucii
good commou sense that it should be
printed and re-printed in every news
paper in Oregon :
"An Albany fraternal order came to
Corvallis last Sunday to worship.
The visit was an expression of good
fellowship. It was an incarnation of
friendly relation. The exchange of
friendly visits by the fraternal orders
in the two towns is frequent. It is the
embodied absence of feud ism and the
disappearance of hostile rivalry. The
petty rivalries common to towns and
cities similarly situated as are Cor
vallis and Albany, are silly. They
aro too small to be encouraged. There
is room and plenty of it for both.
There is enough trouble in the world
anyway, without the canker worm or
iutertown hostility or which there are
so frequent aud so- illuminating
manifestations. There is scarcely
ever excuse for it, aud never honor in
feeding and keeping it alive.
"It is better in the sight of God and
man for ono town to help build the
other up instead of seeking to drag it
down. A cordial relation Is pleasur
able for both, and the feud relation
bitter for both. Mutual good feeling
and kindness is testamentary to the
common sense and the opposite signi
fies more or less of petty tnindodness
in both.
"It is a good day for Corvallis and
for Albany when their fraternal
orders lead the way for mutual
esteem. May all the good people in
both towns follow the example."
DALLAS GETS THE CUP
Her Basketball Players Are Also in
Majority on All-Star
Team.
Walter Critchlow, manager of the
Dallas College basketball team, at
tended the business meeting of the
Oregon State Basketball League In
Portland, Saturday night. All the
managers of the different basketball
teams in the league weije present and
the guarantee money, posted at the
beginning of the season, was refunded.
A beautiful silver cup, donated by the
physical committee of the local
Y. M. C. A., was presented to Manager
Critchlow, representing the Dallas
team.
The work of the league has proved
of great success and all the delegates
were or one accord to promote the bas
ketball Interests or the state by play
ing under its auspices ror another
year. The heavy schedule of the past
season caused some discussion, and
the problem was finally solved by a
system which is to be Inaugurated at
a future meeting by which the teams
of the league are to be divided into
sections and the champions of each
section to compete for the state chanf-
pionship, and thus eliminate the
burdensome and long schedule of the
past season. The Monmouth and
Salem Y. M. C. A. teams were re
tained as members of the league by a
unanimous vote, both organizations
promising to furnish stronger teams
next year.
An election of officers for the coming
season was held and resulted as fol
lows: Presideut, Murray Shanks, of
Willamette university ; secretary, C. P.
Easter, of the Salem Y. M. C. A.;
treasurer, Bert Allen of the Multno
mah Club.
At the meeting, the All-Star team
for the year 1907 was also picked out,
and the honors were won by Dallas
college which had the strongest aggre
gation in the league and which won
the state championship, with Willam
ette university as a close second. The
All-Star team follows :
Forwards, Craven of Dallas college,
and Russel, of the Portland Y. M. C. A. ;
center, Shaw, of Dallas college;
guards, Morton, of Dallas college, and
Barton, of Multnomah.
A Corvallis Philosopher.
Jim Sing, the Chinaman, is a phil
osopher. He Is cook at the Occidental.
He has also a 50-acre hop yard near
Wells. It is in connection with the
latter that Jim manifests his philoso
phy. For his last season's crop he was
at one time offered 13J cents. Later he
was offered 15j cents. Now he can't get
above 10, if that A buyer Is coming
this week to see them at that figure.
"Ob, all sem in 100 years," said Jim ;
"no sell em at 15 ; can't get more than
10 now. All sem. No tlouble. Just
sem gamble. Play cards, have tlee
kings; get em beat, losem money. All
sem hops. Jea gamble, that's all."
And Jim's laugh at his philosophy
could have been heard a block. Cor

Judge N. L. Butler, or this city, was
one of the judges of the debate between
the students of McMinnville College
and the Oregon Agricultural College
la Corvallis, Friday night. The ques
tion debated was "Resolved, That the
United S!ats should ouhaidiza her
merchant marine." McMinnville,
with the negative side of the question,
was declared the winner by a
unanimous vote of the judges.

CRUSHED ROCK IS BETTER
Gravel Superior to AtiiJ as Road
Surface Material, But Lacks
Lasting Qualities.
"My, My! If we just had these
gravel beds In our state I" exclaimed
a Wisconsin farmer as he rode over a
Willamette Valley bridge spanning a
creek whose shores were covered with
fine gravel to a depth ol several feet.
"Your Oregon farmers do not appre
ciate tho advantages they have In
making permanent road improve
ments," he continued. "If we had
gravel like that close to our highways,
as you have here In the Willamette
Valley, we would have most of our
roads surfaced with it In short order.
I am surprised that more Oregon
roads are not covered with it."
The Wisconsin man overestimates
the value of river gravel as a road
surfaee material. While It makes a
surface far superior to mud, it is
much inferior to crushed rock for per
manent improvement. Its greatest
advantage is in Its proximity to the
roads and the consequent cheapness
of placing it upon highways. As the
gravel is round and smooth, it loosens
under travel and gradually sinks Into
the mud. Crushed rook, having
sharp corners and straight edges,
packs together and presents a
smoother surface the longer It is sub
jected to tlio wear of travel. At the
same time, the Wisconsin man Is
right when he says that In the gravel
beds Oregon has a great advantage
over such states as Wisconsin in per
manent road Improvements. Oregon

' Successors to
High Pressure Days.
Men and women alike have to work
Incessantly with brain and hand to
hold their own nowadays. Never
were the demands of business, the
wants of the family, tho requirements
of soolety, more numerous. The first
effect of the praiseworthy effort to
keep up with all these things is com
monly seen In a weakened or debil
itated condition or the nervous system,
which results It dyspepsia, defective
nutrition of both body and brain, and
In extreme eases In ooraplcte nervous
prostration. It Is clearly seen that
what ia needed Is what will sustain
the system, give vigor and tone to the
nerves, and keep the digestive and
assimilative functions healthy and
active. From personal knowledge, we
can recommend Hood's Sarsaparilla
for this purpose. It acts on all the
vital organs, builds up the whole sys
tem, and fits men and women for
these high-pressure days.
Local anglers report poor catches
since the opening of the trout season.
