Of the art of constructing roads, and that

Among the signers are the governors of Il
of the states and other state and United
states officials, Judges, lawyers, doctors,
merchants, editors and prominent citizens
generally, and it was Endorsed by the legis-
lature of Massachusetts, by chambers of
commerce aud boards OF trade by trade
unions and labor organizations, by banks

The petition was unique in form and
mammoth in proportions. 1t was ,4OC
Yards long and was wound around two
gigantic reels, arranged one above the
other in frame of oak feet in height, the
whole weighing 900 pounds. 1t required
the united efforts Of half a dozen senate
employees TO get it properly before that
body and to get it of the floor and into the
committee room after it had been referred
To the committee ON interstate commerce.
The movement in favor of good roads is
growing rapidly, as is shown by the great
number of signatures to this petition,
though it must not be imagined that il
represents any very important fraction OF
the people who are in favor of road reform

The Days That Are No More.
Oh! TO have lived when earth was young,
And everything was charming,
When bears and tigers We're like lambs,
And snakes were not alarming!
When every day the sun shone ont
The whole world went a-Maying,
And lovely maids on every hand
Through forests dense were strayingl
Oh! to have known the peerless knights
Who went out dragon killing,
And who to succor innocence
Distressed were more than willingl
Oh! to have owned the purses which
With gold were always glist'ning!
Oh! to have seen the fairies come
TO every baby's christ'ning.
Oh! to have been for one hour on
A magic carpet sitting,
And in the twinkling of an eye
From land 10 land go tlittingl
Just to have once giant seen,
Though at civil distance,
And to princess in distress
Have offered some assistance.
Oh! to have had the lamps, the rings
That friendly genii granted
Oh! to have met the fawns and swans
Which always were enchanted
Oh! to have lived when beggar men
Great Kingdoms could inherit,
When princesses could marry churls,
And wishing was merit
When peasant lads and mouarchs' sons
Were equally undaunted,
When every tree and rock and stream
Was by some fairy haunted.
Oh! to have known the time when tears
Were always turned to laughter,
And grief TO joy, and people lived
Happily ever afterl

There are tunes Wen never hear;
There are words that go unspoken;
There are weepings with no tear
And love that gives no token.
There are letters never read;
Gifts OF friendship never given;
Light that streams not overhead;
Wealth that comes not, though we'v,
striven.
There are harps no fingers touch,
There are hearts vibrating never;
There are thoughts unuttered-such
As winds unmurmuring ever.
There are longings unattained;
There are glances ne'er translated:
There are heights that are not gained;
There are souls that go minated.

Holding aloft their worth,
Whose memory lives impaired

But rather the man who tolls
On quietly day by day.
'Tis he who, at his task

THE srUTrz COMPANY.

OF the Stuttz Campany, which is billed
to play at the opera house Monday, Tues
day, Wednesday and Thursday evenings of
next week the Salem Statesman has the
following complimentary notice:
The performance last night at the Reed,
consisting of the patriotic adaptation,
"American. Born" was very fine. The
parquet was not filled as it ought to have
been, but tho galleries held a good crowd.
Those present enjoyed the. entertainment
heartily and have universal praise for the
performance. A pleasing feature that
might be mentioned is the fine orchestral
music which fills in the intervals between
the acts. Tonight the justly popular
French play LA Bastille," with its beauti-
full special scenery and intensely exciting
incidents, will be presented and will
doubtless attract large audience. Mr..
Stuttz appeared before Salem audiences fif-
teen years ago. his last appearance being
about eleven years ago, and there are many
here who remember his popularity at that
time. He is pleasant gentleman and the
whole troupe are very agreeable to meet OF
do business with.

A well known railroad official is authority
for the statement that Marcus DAILY, the
Montana millionaire, and several associates
will offer bid for the Oregon Pacific rail-
road when it is sold under the hammer at
Corvallis in December. The sale has been
set for the latter part of that month and it
is understood that there will be more than
one bidder ready to put mp money for its
purchase. Marcus Daily, it is said, desires
direct communication for his great mining
output to the seacoast. His real purpose in
buying the road is not positively known,
but it is supposed he expects to continue
its construction from its present eastern ter.
minus in the Cascades to Montana. Re-
ceiver Charles Clark has demonstrated since
he took charge of tho affairs of the company
last January, that the road might be made
a paying property, and in consequence it is
attracting the attention Of capitalists.

NEw3Y COLLEGE NOTES.

Football is the rage now. Everything is
football. The reason for this, as everyone
should know, is that the first game of the
season for our college comes next Saturday.
AT that date, eleven sturdy young men from
Eugene will meet on the gridiron field with
our local pets. 1t is an open question now,
who will be victorious. The team here felt
confident until last Tuesday, when Small,
the cute little half. back, fell down and sew
eral big boys fell on top of him and when Mr..
Small arose he owned broken rib. A good
man takes his plaoe, but only three days is
not enough time to train man to play half
back. The weights of the two teams will
not differ much, as the Eugene eleven aver.
age about $50 pounds, and our team scale
very close to that mark.
The lineup will be as follows;

A succRssru1 pAsroRArE.

Eight years ago last Sunday, DIR. E. j.
Thompson began his pastorate of the First
Presbyterian church of Corvallis. Many
will remember under what extremely en-
barrassing conditions he came here, and un-
dertook the work of reorganization. Owing
to 1nnumerabls unfortunate circumstances
the congregation had become scattered, and
the membership only numbered nineteen
persons. At first, the work progressed
slowly, aceessions to the church were few,
and, but for the indomitable will and per-
severance of DR.. Thompson, it might have
gone to pieces entirely. Although he was
often disheartened and discouraged, his
countenance always indicated hopes of ulti-
mate success. At the beginning of Mr..
Thompson's ministry, Mr.. Caleb Davis was
the only elder. He, with the other eighteen
members, seemed to gather inspiration from
the pastors pleasant face, and buoyant
hopes for the future; and by their united
efforts were soon gratihed to note an in
creased attendance, until now the active
membership of the church numbers l40, and
the congregation many hundreds.
The faithfulness and loyalty of the mem
bers of this church is the great cause
for its growth and prosperity. During the
entire term, Mrs. F. M. johnson has been
tho organist and leader of the morning choir
and has never been absent from this service
more than half dozen times. In 'S7 and
'Ss. Mrs II. s. Strange, thens Miss Gertrude
Davis, was the evening organist After her
resignation, Miss Ora Spangler WAS appoint
