"The Scrap Book" will be presented by
the famous Royce-Lansing Co., April oath,
at the opera house. Though its plot is not
a deep one, it will be found sufficient to act
as ''binding' for the great variety Of
Scraps" contained within its covers. It
abounds with the latest and most popular
songs and music, embraces great variety
of new and novel musical and comedy spec.
ialties, giving ample scope for the display
OF the peculiarly versatile talents of each
member of the company. 1t is designed to
make you laugh. and you can't help it. In
a word, its mission is to give its auditors
two hours of clean delightful amusement
After witnessing it, you will add your ver'
dict to thousands of others, viz, ''Its mis-
sion is we'll conceived, and most faithfully
carried out.
The Review, of Roseburg, says: "Arch'

Mr. Ewart is in town to day examining the
same, and is much pleased with our plans
for the accommodation Of school children. :"
Mr.. Ewart is in Corvallis now having arriv-
ed here Oh Tuesday.

A TRAIN of twenty-six flat cars
loaded with threshing- machines
from the manufactory at Massillon,
Ohio, arrived in Portland this
week, and were for the branch
house of this mandatory which
is located there. When will the
time arrive when there will be no
need Of sending out of Oregon for
such implements? 1t is about
time some such manufactures
were being erected in this state.
Take the water power at Oregon
City or at 'Salem-none better can
be found, and every bit of it should
be utilized in such purposes. Ore
gon furnishes the finest of timber
and iron for all kinds of such ma
chinery and all that is required is
sufficient capital to erect the places
wherein to manufacture it. In
Portland alone there are numerous
persons who are blessed with
plenty of lucre aud there is but
one faint reason why they could
not form themselves into COM
panies for carrying on such work,
and thus benefit the country as
we'll as themselves.

Colorado is booming, according to
the statement of some persons, and I
don't doubt it at all. They have a
reputation already there-that is for
taksj61ng. One Of the Colorado pa
pers has evidently been hard up tor
something to print, judging from the
following attack on Oregon which is
clipped from it:
"Hundreds of people in Oregon an d
Washington territory are in starving
condition. So many have emlgrated
to that country this spring that every
thing is overdone; work cannot be had
for half the population; out of money
and no labor for them, they are idle
and hungry"
Can there be much larger lie than
the above ever started7 Right here
IN this land of plenty, where there isn't
such thing as failure if you are full
of patience and perseverance, and to
think that half the population is ''idle
and hungry" The Colorado editor
should be presented with chunk Of
dynamite soap so that he could take
one good long wash of the filth that
he must have in him.
| Sunday morning last was sort of
clustering one in Corvallis and judg-
ing from the amount of signs that
were down from their hooks on the
different awnings it must have been a
windy night-but it wasn't. The regu'
lar quarterly hoodlum got in his work
on Saturday night and, while the
policeman WAS at one end of his beat,
removed some of the signs at the other
end, and vice versa. It was nice fun
for the "hoods" and costly fun for the
owners of these indicators. Some
time they will be caught in their fun
and then the city treasury will be in
creased few dollars.

MEETING TOMORROW.

At 9 o'clock p. m., tomorrow, April
l9, the county horticultural society
will meet at the court house for the
purpose of discussing several important
questions and listening to an address
by Pres. Keezel of PhiIomath.
AT the last meeting it was voted to
admit ladies to membership free. We
hope this action may be approved by
our lady friends and that good at
tendance of lady horticnlturists may
be the outcome. We have all hopes
of securing for our society room in
the new court house and we shall ap-
preciate the many efforts made by
friends of this society to make the
room a fit one for our labors and dis
cussions. We hope no small number
of our flower loving friends will be-
come members of this society and thus
aid us in making the room pleasant
and homelike one for our meetings.
In order that the work we may do in
it will rebound to the credit of all con-
cerned and spread its influence to our
homes, our cities and over our state
we need your aid and encouragement.
Bylaws for the society will be con-
sidered at this meeting and some other
reports of importance will be given.

seventy nine head brought an
average price of only $6S apiece.
The highest price paid was $3.50,

down below $50. For $50 one
purchaser bought three year old

WANTS II CHANGE.

tIhe following has been crowded OUT OF
these columns for the past three issues.J
IF there is one thing more inter-
esting and attractive than another
(over the left as the boys say) it is
to see in the early spring time, when
the grass is just putting on its most
beautiful green, and the flowers
are beginning to bloom, and the
trees are bursting into leaf and
blossoms, the streets full of rub
bish and refuse, the alleys full of
filth and the foulest fumes; the
festive COWS meandering up and
down the broken sidewalks rub
bing their lousy hides against the
shade trees and gate posts; bruis-
ing and killing shrubs and trees
that it has taken years to grow; to
see this and more, at once arrests
the eye of the beholder, especially
if he is a stranger and is looking
for a pleasant and healthy location
for himself and family. There
are places where nature has lavish
ell her gifts most profusely and
where it almost seems as if the
hand of the Almighty had wrought
lis most skillful paintings, but
where man in his carelessness and
sluggishness and selfshness has
not only neglected to improve
these priceless treasures but even
desecrates with unhallowed touch
the sacred shrines SO grandly fash
ioned by the Creators hand.
In vain will any people strive to
keep pace with the on moving tide
of progress and prosperity, that is
passing by, unless with united ef-
fort they grasp the strong arm of
enterprise and enthusiasm, tina
shall stir the very foundation of
things, and shake the moss from
the roofs of mems backs as well as
from their houses; take the stifen-
ing out of their spines and the coin
out of their purses; cause the old
tumble down shanties, so common
here and there, to fall to the ground
and disappear; build new door
yard fences in place of the rickety
and rotten ones, paint anew those
that are not too old to paint and
clean up generally.
Corvallis is a beauty of a city.
1t can be made one of the most
charming places in Oregon-but it
needs brushing up and cleaning
up. The very goddess of beauty
herself is unlovely to look at when
besmeared with dirt and mud and
marred all over with ugly defac-
ings.
Now that we are going to have
electric lights and a board of trade,
let us brighten up all around. Let
us drive the COWS off to pasture
and fix up the sidewalks and walk
ON them ourselves. Let us tell
everybody that this is the place to
live-that we have the best loca-
ton, the pleasantest city, the
healthiest community, the most
prosperous town, the fairest pros
poets; the grandest people; the
biggest court house; the best col
lege; the newest school building;
as good schools and churches; as
honest and honorable business
men; as fine locking women and
handsome girls; in fact as good of
everything as anywhere on the
Pacific coast; that all strangers
have to do is to give us a trial and
they will be satisfied.

been enlarged, the Guard and
the Register. They present a very
neat and much improved appear
ance, and show evidence of pros
perity. The Guard is democratic,
but then then that doesn't hurt it
any.
