Our HOSE TEAM.-Corvallis hose
team met on Tuesday evening and de-
cided to compete for the prizes at
Spokane Falls the first of September.
The prizes are $4,000 divided as fol
lows: Four first prizes of $1,000 each,
remaining $1,000 divided in eight
second and third prizes. When it is
remembered that our team last year
ran third and fourth with II of the
Jaeetest teams ever gathered on the Pa
cifc coast and tied with the crack
team of Tacoma which was headed by
such men as Gibson and Bathome, we
certainly ought to expect good results
this year. AS the boys propose; to
strengthen their team and make it bet
ter than ever before our citizens ought
to give the boys their hearty support
for this is all the compensation they
get for their hard and dangerous work.

RUNAwAY.-Last Monday evening
George Bigham undertook to drive his
pony to cart but it didn't work.
The horse kicked the front of the cart
to pieces and struck out at gate that
would do credit to dog with bunch
of fire crackers attached to it's tail, and
ran to the south end of Main street
where it turned and ran mp one of the
back streets and took the road for
Wells Station, but before arriving at
the latter place the pony and cart were
overtaken by two young men on horse
back, who brought them back to the
city. Soda says the damage Was slight
but that next time he would rather
alight from his cart in more graceful
manner.

AN OREGON ExHIBIT.-One of Ore
CONS commissioners to the Worlds
fair, M. Wilkins, of Eugene, has re-
turned from the meeting of the CON-
missioners at Chicago and says the fair
is going to be great success. All the
indications point that way. Every
state and territory was represented at
the recent meeting. He thinks Ore
gon must send an exhibit and urges
thst a worthy one be prepared. In
speaking of the matter he said: "Ore-
gon is recognized in the east. The
people there have at last found out that
there is great Pacific coast. 1t rests
with the state to say what kind of an
exhibition we should make. [ shall
ask for space outside the pavilion to
make good exhibit. California wants
ten acres and will spend ST 1000, 900
for an exhibit, but do not care how
much 1t spends, it cannot outdo Ore
gon. California may get away with us
in quantity, but not in quality. Our
hard woods beat the world and we. have
larger and better fruit than California.
We ought to make fine show of our
mineral wealth and our grains and
grasses, which have no superior"

DIED.-At the residence of Mrs.
Martha Moore in this city, Saturday
morning, June 28th, Ada louisa,
youngest child of Mr.. David Ash,
aged 2 years, 4 months and days.
Ada's mother died when she was but
a few days old, when Mrs. Moore took
her and has been both mother and
father to her, caring for her with the
tenderest care and most earnest solici-
tude.- She was unusually bright and
attractive and soon won the affections
of her foster mother and the entire
family. But disease was unrelenting
in its grasp upon her little frail body
and after suffering more than two
weeks most intensely she died. Her
funeral was attended by DR.. Thomp-
son and she was laid to rest Sabbath
the 29th Of June, in Oak Ridge ceme
terry beside her mother.

interesting session in this city on Tues
day and Wednesday of this week and
the GAZETTE was to be furnished with

By furnishing some rooms up stairs
we hope to pay running expenses and
be able to keep the library up better,
this we can do provided we can keep
the rooms rented. At present we have
two furnished rooms and one unfur-
nished room vacant, we would be ex-
ceedingly glad to have them occupied.
The reading room should be made
more attractive, bright carpet, more
comfortable chairs are desirable. The
room needs paint, more shelves, more
good books. A good many loads Of
wood will be needed the coming year.
We have some favors In the shape of
of donations of oil from MIR. Paddock
and 7. Bell, and wood from Mr.. Her
bert Nash. We should be glad if
others would follow their example.
There is to be found in reading
matter % weeklies, IL monthlies.
There has been 100 new books added
during the past 6 months.
That the room has been greatly ap-
preciated by strangers in our city we
have abundant proof, and we bespeak
for this Institution the hearty co-opera-
ton of our citizens.
Step in and look at the reading
matter. COMMITTEE.

Hurrah for the Motor Line!
Corvallis to Have a System of
Rapid TransitL
A BIG STEP FORWARD.

When the Corvallis Street Railway
Go. was organized it was the desire OF
the projectors to build the line to both
the depots and to,the State Agricultural
College, but as the enterprise was a new
one and our citizens had doubts, about
even the first section being built, it was
impossible. ae that time to secure suf-
fcient capital to do SO. The first sec
tion, however, was built and has been
in operation nearly month, the re-
eeipts showing good interest on the
capital invested over and above ex-
penses. Recently the company enter
ed into negotiations for the purpose
of placing bonds to the amount of
$4,000 for the purpose of making
these extensions, and have been sue
eessful, upon condtion that stock in
addition to that already taken, be sub
scribed to the amount of $4,000. Of
this amount ST $50 has already been
pledged leaving $3.50 yet to be sub
scribed. A committee of our leading
citizens have taken the matter in hand,
and expect to secure this sum early
the coming week. The rails, motor
cars, ETC., will be ordered at once, and
the entire system can be in operation
by the end of September. The cars,
of which there will be two; will be
built to order and of handso me design
and finish, being about twice the size
of the present horse car and costing
about $4,000, each. The entire ma
chinery for running the car occupies a
space about the size of the front plat
form, being enclosed, crude oil being
used as fuel, in about the same, man.
ner as a gasoline stove, and all smoke
and steam being consumed. The ex-
pense of operating these cars is very
little and we understand they are be-
ing substituted for electric cars in many
places, being less expensive to operate
and safer. This system of rapid
transit will not only pay as an invest
ment, but will be an immense benefit
m developing suburban property.
There are many beautiful sites for
homes in the fine tracts within a radius
Of half a mile of the college and
there is no doubt that with a motor
line in operation many handsome resi-
dences will 60 up on "Nob Hill"

company under the management of
Will o. Wheeler on or about July 81.
This is new and laughable comedy,

it. The name of the play in itself
would suggest that they have a good

A QUESTION 10 ANSWER.

The Burlington Free Press very ably
presented the case for Lieut.. Gov. Wood
bury as a candidate for the gubernatorial
nomination. There is more pertinence,
however, in the query of the Richford
Gazette as to Mr.. Woodbury's position
on the question of prohibition. The
Gazette asks if either of Mr.. Woodbury's
hotels sells liquor? This is a question
the Republicans of the state have a
right to have answered.
Here is the situation. The settled
policy of the Republican party in Yer
mont is a prohibitory policy as regards
the sale of Intoxicating liquors. Can
the party choose as its standard bearer
a man who is opposed to that policy,
particularly if he is violator of the law
that policy defends? Col. Woodbury. is
a hotel keeper on large scale. Is
liquor sold at his hotels in violation of
the law of Vermont? If so the Repub-
lican party cannot consistently put him
forward as its candidate for the highest
office in the state. The Free Press must
answer this question in the negative or
retire from the support of Mr.. Wood
bury's candidacy, for the Free Press is
supporter of law and of prohibition, and
we believe it to be sincere.
Are the Van Ness and American
Houses of Burlington strictly tenn
perance houses? Do they live fully up
to the state law? Lieut.. Gov. Wood
bury's friends must answer this question
without evasion.
