A STEAMER NEEDED.-The hose
boys of this city are circulating a sub
scription paper to raise money to pur-
chase racing cart. So far quite a
sum has been secured. A racing cart;
of what good is it2 1t never can be
taken to a fire. Wouldn't it be better
to raise money to purchase steam,
fire engine2 One good engine of this
kind is needed in Corvallis and it
would be fine thing for the fire lad
dies besides being very beneficial to the
city. A racing cart will cost near
$500, and it would not take many
such sums to purchase a steamer.
There are two good hose carts in the
engine house now, and what good will
the third one do?

A, 1-CENT IDEA.-Judging from

A, 1-CENT IDEA.-Judging from
the appearances on every fence,
telephone pole, etc., a rubber
stamp agent has been doing Cor
Wallis lately. Two barber shops of
Corvallis have purchased each a
stamp and they now have whole
printing office right at their hands
and all over their clothes. The
price paid apiece for these rubber
daubers was $3.50, then there is
the paper, and time required in
printing, which will foot up $15.
Yes? Well, what of it? Most
any printing Office in Corvallis or
any other city could for that much
money print about 5000 sixteenth
sheet dodgers, and 10000 thirty
second sheets. And they, when
printed on regular press, would
present a neat appearance and
when distributed OH the streets
would be read by the public. A
rubber stamp always makes a mur-
ky impression, one half of the let
ters not showing up at all. Eight
thousand dodgers would be plenty
enough for any business firm and
were you to print that many by a
rubber stamp you would find that
the letters would be entirely rub
bed or stamped out of existence,
and then where, oh where, is your

Wool ITEM-Up to Saturday
last there had been received this
season at Moody's warehouse 1927
bales of wool: to July 1st the Was
co warehouse had received 5,014
bales. Counting 800 pounds to
the bale this would make 3,762,-
800 pounds, says The Dalles paper.
At Is cents a pound-which is a
safe estimate-the neat little sum
of $564,345 is realized. At the be-
ginning OF the season Moody had
several hundred sacks On hand;
he has shipped 1867 sacks on
hand. Roberts shipped to July 1st,
1850 sacks. Of course this does
not conclude the transactions in
wool for the season, as it is still
coming in, Though less rapid than
a few days ago.
