HAMILTON HAPPENINGS.

! Hamilton, Sept. 29.-The Hamilton
| people were much pleased yesterday
that the crowd of excursionists that
| came up on the irrigation special were
so much pleased with the town and
the country. AS to the excursion itself,
was not the Hon. "Bilr' Stone of the
Standard along, and will he not fully
record it for the readers of the great
paper?
The county clerks office is having a
nice 'hello' box put in for the long
distance phone which the county pays
steen dollars for every quarter.
The most notable sight on the streets
yesterday while the excursiontsts were
here was Tom Carter as the personal
guest Of Bob O'Hara There were two
running mates which It would be hard
to improve on in any country, and their
conversation on the drive must have
been a case of diamond cut diamond.
The deal by Mr.. Rowe for the Knapp
property In Stevensville Is off, and the
latter has purchased the comfortable
residence of j. c. Daugherty in that
town.
For some time past the good people
of Stevensville have been aGitating the
proposition of Incorporating their thriv-
ing village into the dignity Of town.
and have decided favorably on the
matter. They have taken the neces-
sary steps toward incorporation by
petitioning the county board, and in a
short time it will be written the town
Of Stevensville. The people have acted
wisely. Stevensville is fiourishing as
few places in.the state are, and incor-
poration will work many improve
ments in the looks of the place and its
desirability as a residence place.
John E. Smith. formerly of Stevens
vile, whose wife formerly Miss Dolly

William Young, the contractor for
the new Corvallis bridge, was up to
town yesterday after some material.

right, though he was retarded some

be completed ready for crossing a week

The four stock cars mentioned few
| days ago as being on the sidetrack at
:the stock corral, will be loaded to-day
with some 70 thoroughbreds and trot-
ting mares from the Bitter Root stock

! years that he has sent number of
winners to the post.
