Dusty Notes.

G. r. Hall started for San Francisco 6
few days ago to consult a cancer special
ist. He fears that he has cancer grow.
ing onlthe inside of his lower lip. Il
made its appearance about year ago
but grew very slowly at first until he cut
it away, when it began to grow much
faster. It is to be hoped that it is not a
cancer.
George Spaght had night caller few
nights ago. He went to Georges private
sleeping apartment, took a pocketbook
containing two or three dollars, and then
went to the kitchen and got lunch. Mr..
Spaght heard the intruder, but thought
it was his son, Fred, and did not get up.
The team belonging to L. n. Edwards
took a lively spin the other day. 1t
started at S. A. Thorp's barn, one mile
west of Dusty, ran through Dusty and
turned south toward the chapel. Emil
Howard saw them coming and prepared
to give chase on a horse. He soon
brought them to halt with no damage
done.
John G. Perrin moved to his new home
On Chapel hill, the first of the week. We
are glad John is permanently located
here.
The w. o. W. are talking of building
hall here.
The Alpine school did not begin at the
time formerly stated, but is now under
full sail. Miss Holt of Scio is at the
helm.
There was large crowd out to the en-
tertainment; more than the hall would
hold. The proceeds were $42 .25.
|. David Perrin is still in very poor health.
Mrs. Perrin has been ill for several days,
but is now little better
Mr.. Ingram and Mrs. Brown are both
convalesceut.

RAMBLER IS KING

Because every advanced method of the
mechanical art is employed in building
the Rambler wheels. All the elements
of beauty, strength, originality and high
quality are blended in the eight Rambler
models offered this season. The Ram
bier bicycle has always been the easiest
running wheel on the market, and in the
twenty-three years of its manufacture it
is recognized to be as strong as any wheel
made.
The sculptor's reputation is not made
by the first work of his chisel. The best
in everything is the result of making the
good better, and in keeping everlastingly
at it. The Rambler is equipped with the
famous G. & J. tires; the handiesf and
most durable tire made.
This wheel is on sale at J. K. Berry's,
and in buying Rambler you have your
choice of all the latest equipments for
bicycles; such as saddles, handlebars,
pedals, bells, toeclips, graphite and oil.

The Improvement Society.
Contributed. }

NSohIA
Corvallis has Village Improvement
Society. The Organization met Monday.
A committee was appointed to confer
with the rail roads and truckmen rela-
tive to laying out the grounds at rail
road stations. Pamphlets telling what
has been accomplished by similar socie
ties in the East were distributed among
members. On the Atlantic coast from
Bar Harbor to Southern Georgia improve,
ment societies are numbered by hum
dreds. They create sentiment in favor
of all sorts of improvements. They get
old barns torn down and electric lights
established. They clean streets and
bring pure water into towns.
The South. too has caught the conta-
tion. A railroad down there is using
the village improvement idea in every
town along its line, 1000 miles long. The
recipe for the whitewash used by the
government on the White House and
light houses along the coast is given out
in circulars, and people use the prepara-
ton in whitewashing outhouses, trees
and fences. The region is being trans
formed in appearances all the way from
Maine to Florida by Village improvement
societies like that in Corvallis.
The movement had it's beginning in
Massachusetts. A stranger there criti-
cized the town. Two ladies took up the
criticism and used it to create sentiment
for reform. The beginning was slow,
and laborious. In time, however, the
spark was lighted. and now the move
ment extends from Massachusetts to
California and has millions OF members.

aFHE WIFE,
This Beautiful play was Adfairabiy Pre-
serted by Local Talent.

Thts Beautiful play was adH1irabiy Pre-
4 serted by Local Talent.
1 The play, "The Wife" givel
/ by local talent Friday night un
der the direction OF Geo. L. Paul
proved successful not only in
] financial way, but as pleasing
presentation of a well-writte1
drama. The performance wa:
given for the benefit of mex
years football team, and vii
net the athletes something like
$125. Before noon Thursday
when the box Office was opened
all desirable seats were taken. Sc
great was the demand for reserved
seats that the management found
it necessary to add 40 seats more
than are usually sold as reserved.
Excepting ''My Friend from
India" this is the best play yet
presented by these amatuers, and
some have even questioned the
exception. Certainly it was an
excellent selection. The players
exhibited an understanding of
their parts, acting with a lack
of that selfconsciousness that fire.
quently characterizes a play as
anlatuerish. The situations were
selected to good effect.
The star parts, as usual, were
taken by Mrs. B. w. johnson and
Mr.. Geo. L. Paul. Mrs. John
son as the "the wife" had an
emotional part-a dangerous quail
ity in character for an anatuer
to undertake-but her rendition
was natural and particularly free
from ranting and excessiveness.
The most dramatic scene in the
play was an interview between
"the wife" and her husband and
in this the characters were excep-
tionally we'll sustained. Mrs.
Johnson and Mr.. Paul were given
a curtain call for their work in
this act. In this act Mr.. Paul
appeared to the best advantage.
AS Senator Rutherford he had a
role very different from that usu-
ally assumed by him, and his in
depreciation proved his versatility.
c. E. Woodson, with the part of
an aged member of the produce
exchange. played in his perihe-
lion. He has never taken a part
better saited to him and-he play
ed it like a veteran.
A william in the drama was
woman-taken by Miss Olive
Hamilton. 1t is sufficient COM
plinaent to her work, to say that |
she presented the character with
a naturalness that deprived her
of her merited share OF conmen-
datlon. Miss Edna IrviIe was
chic soubrette. She played with |
a cleverness that materially add
ed to the general action of the
play, and dispelled anyspossible
darkness. B. W. johnson was
cast as retired army officer who
had valuable opinion of his
to impress the fair sex
with a consciousness of his ster1-
ing worth, and johnson played
the part to a I. No less enter
tanning was Miss Lulu Spangler's
Interpretation of the widow. Her
grace aud kindness assisted her
to make the part all that could
be desired and a material contri-
button to the success of the play. |
Allen Bates found it unneces-
sary to represent anything but
himself. Harry Davis and B. B.
Geer sustained excellently char
acters of anything but minor i'm
portance, while Miss Steiwer,
Miss Fulton and Grant Elgin,
gave excellent support. All the
players had their lines we'll COM
mitted and if any prompting was
done, the audience was not
aware of it. x. (

WHO ARE Tht OBSTRUC1IONiSTS7

Before the Panama Canal company made businesslike proposition to sell it's property for $40, ,O0O, 900 every per- son who questioned the propriety 6: rushing ahead with the consSI uovviion of an isthmiap canal by the Nicaragua route was denounced as an obstruc. tionist, a lobbyist and an enemy of any interoceanic csral. All talk Of the feasibility or possibility of con- structing canal by the Panama route was denounced as inspired by trans continental railway interests.
 But the American people, who all along have desired . canal connecting the Atlantic and Pacific, merely de- manded that it should be built by the best route from a commercial, engin- eering and financial point of view.
 It was to ascertain which route ans- wered this demand that the Walker commission was appointed.
 The people accepted the report of that commission when it favored the Nicaragua route because the French company asked prohibitive price for it's property.
 Now that the French company has come to the terms named by the com. mission and the commission has re- versed its report and declared unequ- vocally for the Panama route, the American people acquiesce and call for the immediate construction of the canal by the most feasible and advan. tsgeous route.
 But this does not suit the statesmen who have been posing as the only simon pure friends of an isthmian ca nal. It is now the Nicaragua canal or none with them.
 The country, however, understands who are the obstructionists now.

USE COMMON
 BUSINESS JUDGMENT.

This week members of the common council have been overwhelmed with advice and arguments in regard to the legality and wisdom of action already taken and any that may be taken in the future. Councilmen have listened to the opinion of attorneys, and in some cases no two the same, until some members of the council have be- gun to wonder what they are here for.
 The city council has engaged a city attorney. It is his duty to look up the law and advise the council, but at the same time if the members will exercise that same ccol business judgment that they exercise in their own every day business affairs they will be tolerably certain to avoid any legal complica- tions.
 The first ordinance passed by the council is one prohibiting women from frequenting saloons. The ordinance has been posted in three public places, and was published for one issue under instructions from the clerk of the city council.
 Now the question has been raised that the ordinance should have been published for eight consecutive issues.
 In order to avoid any grounds for contest it would be we'll for the council to order the eight publications made, and the REVIEW places its columns at the disposal of the city couHcil for this purpose free of charge.
 If the ordinance was in full force and effect after the first publication, still the council was powerless to en- force it, as the town marshal did not file his bond until last evening and had not yet been sworn in.
 With the swearing in of the town marshal and the approval of his bond, the city is then in a position to enforce it's ordinances.
 The offenders may be taken before a justice of the peace, who is qualified to act in all city cases brought before him. In the collection of fines the justice retains his fees from the amount so collected and the remainder is turned o7er to the city treasury. In case no fine is collected the justice re- ceives DO fees for hearing cases.

Letter to w. A. Boldly.

Dear Sir: One coat of Devoe is bet
ter than two of mixed paint.
The American House, at Tanners
vile, (Catskill Mts.), N. Y, Chas. L.
Wiltse, had two coats of Mixed Paint
five years ago; last spring had two
more coats of the same.
Owner was going to use Devoe but
got his Mixed Paint few cents less.
Right across the street, Charles
Haner painted one coat of Devoe at
the same time-last spring.
The Haner house is the better job
but wait FIVE years.
The point of the story is that Wiltse
is sorry already. He has learned some
thing that not one man in thous
and knows-that gallon of one kind
of paint can contain twice as much al
gallon of another kind of paint.
You can't afford to put on another
paint even if you have it given tc
you. At the same time, you see, thai
Mixed Paint appears to have worn
five years-give the devil his due.
Yours truly,
"A F. W. DEvoE & Co.
