arrived IN our cltY from California the fore
part of the week, where he has been with
the hopes of improving his health. We are
sorrow to state he found no relief for his
allment. which we believe, is pronounced
consumption.
Mr.. w. c. Woodcock of the Belkuap set
tlement was in Corvallis last Monday and
returned home Tuesday. He reported that
Mrs. VIM. Tally of that neighborhood who
has been dangerously sick for several weeks
had so far regained her health that she was
going to start for Soda Springs in Linn
county in hopes that the change might still
be conducive to better state Of health.
We understand that the O. p R. R. offic-
ials have received notice signed by AZ of
the strikers that they have withdrawn their
names entirely, and desire not to be held
responsible for any damage to property by
lawless CT unprincipled persons Their rep
resentative who brought in the paper states
that they were anxious to see the trains
running, and that they would report any
act of lawlessness that came to their knowl-
edge. $3.50. a.:
Since the article in another column was
put in print on the manner in which the
agent of the West Side railroad here at the
depot refused to deliver freight ,n the same
day in which it arrived, we learn that he
has changed his determination in this regard
and since Wednesday has been delivering
freight in the afternoon snon after they ar
rive. The business men certainly hope that
there will be no m 're delays, because the
prompt delivery of freight is the life of bus
iness in any town,
The Oregon Oracle, published at Philo-
math, articulates thusly: 1.-The first of the
week there was hack load of Corvallis
young people came out to our city to spend
the afternoon. Among those we knew were
Miss Edith Jacobs, Bertha Neugass, Katie
Carlyle, Nellie Blair and Rosa Jacobs, es-
corted by some of Corvallis best looking
young men. They drove to the camp
ground and spent couple of hours i'll a
kind of picnic way. After taking supper
at the Dixon house they took their depart
ure for Corvallis, saying they enjoyed them
selves immensely"
The Iowa State Press Association will
leave Council Bluffs on June 9th on a visit
to Oregon and Washington Ter. We be-
lieve it is there intention to visit Corvallis
as well as other cities IN the Willamette
valley. 1t might be timely to suggest that
we should recognize their visit by having the
band play few selection. The GAZETTE
will also donate Scots towards giving the
quill drivers bath at Jesse Spencer's.
Arrangements are trying to be made for a
100 yard foot race between Frank Lewis.
Oregon's sprinter, and c. F. Gibson, one of
the fast men of the east. The race, will
probably be run at Portland in the near flu
ture 1t will be remembered that these two
men contested in a l25 yard run in San
Francisco about two months ago in which
the latter came out victorious, and now that
another contest is contemplated coasidera-
BILE interest is manifested. =. 49,
Minor Swick started last week ON a trip
to Hardin, Grant Co., Oregon, accompanied
by his family, in hopes that the change
would improve his wife's health. Mrs
Swick has not been well for over a year. So
bad has she been for mary months that she
has been un.ble to walk, having to remain
in bed or SIT in chair. The many friends
Of Mr.. aud Mrs. Swick hope the change will
bring about the desired relief.
Miss Mary Monteitb started on last
Wednesday morning for Cheney, W. T.,
where she expects to remain for some time
in the hopes of improving her health. Miss
Mary was for long time an employee of
this office. and a better or more faithful
compositor never lifted type from case.
1t is the wish of the GAZETTE force that her
health may be improved by her visit to the
territory.
Base ball is all the rage this year again.
and Corvallis, not unlike other towns, has
several uniformed clubs We believe a
the Eclipse of this place and club at Eu-
gene, to be played at Harrisburg. Later
From letter just received we learn that
the Eugene club refuses to accept the chal-
lenge at present, but that - game will be
played with the Harrisburg nine next Sun
day.
The Salem Statesman says that it is re.
ported that a merchant in Philonath was
so Conscientious last week that he wuuld not
sell cigarette to minor. If that mer.
chant looked only to tho boys interest he
certainly deserves grsal credit. ~. II the hoy
