The REVETMENT.-J Fl. Nicholas

IHE REvETMENT.-J. H. Nicholas,
of this city, was in Portland last week
and while there he called on Senator
j. II. Mitchell. In the interview
which followed Senator Mitchell said
regarding an appropriation for the
government work on the Willamette
river at Corvallis, that he had made
personal inquiry as to what action u.
S. Engineer Major Handbury would
take toward continuing the work Of
improving the chanel of the river here
and was informed that it was the ma
jor's intention to recommend to the
war department that the revetment be
continued up stream on the Linn side
for distance of 3700 feet. The re-
vetment will he built of rock and pill
ing and it will take a considerable
sum OF money to complete the work.
Had this work been done two years
ago it would have been of great bene-
fit to the people on the Linn county
side. The damage by high water to
these people and this city has caused
the loss of large amount of money.

Brothers Enormous United Exhibition,
like Tennyson's book, seems destined to go
on forever. They have already been under
one and the same ownership and manage

The Messrs. Sells are legitimate, enterpris-

to do business. AS such, both they and

heartily welcomed at Corvallis on Tuesday,
