It Flustered the Postoffice Clerks
Who was the Letter for Anyway?
A letter with much mixed adj
dress invaded the Corvallis post
Office. to the vexation OF the clerks
Monday. The superscription ran
thus: Miss - lPhilomath College.
Corvallis, court house, Oregon.
United States of America Central
Asia, might with equal intelligence
have been added, but it wasn't there.
To heighten the dilemma, the missive
bore special delivery stamp, sug-
gesting great haste.
1t is supposed that volunteers
among the clerks were asked for.
who could deliver the missive
to Miss at Philomath college
and at the countycourt house at the
same time, but all faltered when
confronted with the job. The only
known person which could have
done it successfully is Postmaster
johnson, withhis great speed, which
excels a railroad train, but he was
ton busy to go.
Whether Miss - is a student at
the Agricultural College, Corvallis
in which also is the court house, or
whether she is at Philomath col
lege. Phi1omath, seven miles from
the court house was not learned
from the postofice clerk who sailed
through the corridors of the court
house Monday with the missive,
hopelessly perplexed and evidently
headed for the bug-house. The
superscription showed the writer to
be man, which explains all. He
was in such haste to communicate
with Miss - that his heaving heart
didn't let him get the address
straight. {

NOT WITHOUT HOPE.
Still Want Corvallis to Move-A
Morning and Evening Tram.

= !
Independence people still want
-Corva1lisites to ask the Southern
Pacific for a morning and evening
train service. When the former
met R. Koeh1er and his associates
in Portland, the latter told them
that Corvallis was not petitioning
for the train. The railroad men
seemed to have the idea that Cor
wallis did not want it. Their nat
ura1 conclusion was, if Corvallis.
ties want it. why don't they ask.
The matter is still in the balance.
The railroad offered independence
a morning and evening train via
the, motor arrangement, connect
ing at McMinnville, but the latter
rejected it, insisting on a through
train to Corvallis. The company
has treated all their requests with
the greatest consideration, and has
seemed most anxious to accommo-
date. The independence people
are confident that if Corvallis would
throw united request for the train
into the lap of the railroad COM
pany, the service would be estab-
1ished. @
Corvallis has done nothing yet,
No petitions have been circulated.
It is still true as it was when Noah's
ark foated on the flood, that an
Isolated town is a dead town. It
will continue to be true until Cab
riel blows his trumpet at the crack
of doom. In these days of quick
transit and lightning changes, live
men won't wait forever for a chance
to go somewhere, They settle in
towns where there is a chance to
get out and get in, and that's the
biggest of all drawbacks to Cor
wallis.

WILL PRINT PAMPHLETS.
Describing Benton county-Citizens'
League Orders Committee to go
Ahead.


The Citizens League, after sew
eral months of inocuous desuetude
voted Monday night to order the
publication of a large number of
pamphlets descriptive Of Benton
county, to be distributed by the
Hartman immigration bureau
The committee that collected the
funds was empowered to edit and
print the pamphlets.
One hundred and ninety three
dollars is available for the purpose
An additional $Ioo was available at
one time, but it is not now, It was
the appropriation of the commits
sioners' court, but the warrant re-
manned uncalled for for month or
two, and then the court ordered it
cancelled. Whether or not it can
again be secured remains to be
seen. Assistance is also hoped for
from the city council, and a COM
mittee was appointed to attend the
next meeting of that body and ask
ioI an appropriation Dy the CITY.
The estimated cost of the $4,000
copies of the publication is $500,
At the meeting, the League el
ected officers. The men who are
to serve the organization in Off
cia1 capacity for the next year are,
NJ. S. Woodcock, president: E. Al
len, vice president; DR.. Harper, .2nd
vice president; E. E. Wilson, sec
retary and w. H. Currin, treasurer,
B. w. Johnson, E. R. Bryson
and E. R. Lake were appointed a
committee to devise plans for the
betterment of the League organ
ization, and to report recommend
ations at the May meeting.

WHY 1T HAS MERIT.

There is probably merit in Sen
ator Miller's contention that cours-
es in the public schools are over
loaded. The tendency of the time
is to compress much into little,
The journey across the continent
must be made under forced draught
and multiplied dangers In four days
when safety and good judgment
dictate six. The man who plans
to succeed, forces his physical and
mental powers into service sixteen
out of the "a hours, when six or
eight ought to be the limit. The
child is hurried into school at six,
and would go at an earlier age if
the law would permit. The free
dom and exercise SO essential to
vigor and growth begin to be res
tricted almost before baby clothes
have been laid aside. The restraint,
bad air and inaction of the school
room are hurried in on the young
life before free air and child play
have given the small frame a fair
start in development. Like plant
with half its sunshine gone, the
growing child yields up more and
more of its strength to keep a-pace
with the overloaded courses. and
when college graduation through
equally crowded courses is attained,
vigor, mental and physical, is
dwarfed and blighted. This may
not be the universal rule, but it is
pronouncedly the tendency. 1t is,
however, the product of the stren-
uous conditions of this over-stren-
nous age.
It were better for the child. especial
1y if delicate, to stay out of school
till ten than to enter at six. None
should begin earlier than eight.
Most will enter at the latter age
and pass graduation sooner than if
entered at six. because the addit-
ional store of bodily and mental
vigor will make progress faster,
The best strength of the life
should not be sapped in the school
room. "A reserved force is needed
at maturity when the real battle
for existence begins. A graduate
over crammed with smatterings is
as helpless for action as is snake
over-stufed with a newly swallow
ed rabbit. There is more danger
of overlooking than undertaking
public school courses, and that is
why there is probably merit in the
Linn county senator's contention.

dates for chief Of police are already
in the field. They are Sam King

w. G. Lane. is also prominently
mentioned for the place, and his
friends are urging him to become a
candidate. The friends of Police
Judge Grefoz propose that he shall
again enter the lists to succeed
himself. He has made a most ex-

in mastering votes that on election
day candidates for the judgeship
are generally scarce.
A mayor is to be elected this
year, but as far as heard, no name
has been suggested for the place.
Five counci1men will retire from the
present council as follows: P. Av-

G. A. Waggoner returned yes
terday from Alaska where he has
held a government position at
White Pass for several years past.
He states that he may return to the
North temporarily on private busi-
ness, but he has severed his connec-
ton with the government service.
Meantime Mr.. Waggoner's family
have resided in Corvallis.
An aged man was noticed
Thursday wandering about town
in rather an aim1ess manner. He
was accosted by Marshal Miller,
and the latter learned that the old
gentleman wished to see B..
Goodman of this city. When
taken to J. B. Goodman. home it
was found that the wanderer was
James Goodman of Eugene, and
the gentleman for whom he was in
search is his brother. He had been
on a visit to his son Allen, hard
ware merchant at Independence.
The old gentleman left Indepen-
dence Thursday on the cars in ap-..
parent good health, but on the way
up he suffered a stroke of paralysis
which affected his mind. Relatives
here telephoned the facts of his con-
dition to Allen, and the latter came
up from independence on the
freight train that evening, and took
his father to Eugene Friday, where
he resides with his wife. The
stricken man is 80 yearsof age.

I All, will we never get throug h
with this delightful subject.
Will the women who write
and the men who think never
decide. once for all, that tn e
woman of 40 is the only invari.
able winner on the map?
ITO be beautiful should be
,he object in a woman's career
until she is 40, after which sh
should become power" said
a modern French. writer, and
it was also a Frenchmau who
ventured to say that a woman
past 40 should either be abol
ished or take the veil. What is
stranger, this view is indorsed
by Miss Janet Achurcb, an
English actress.
Now, why? Yes, why?
There are those of us who be-
lieve that a good thing is al.
ways desirable, and by tina t
same token we believe that if d
woman is charming at 20 sh e
should be even more so at 30,
and altogether "killing' at 40.
You may not be able to tell
off band whether she is 40 or
43. In fact, you may not. be
able to guess within 10 years of
her age. That is one of her
principal charms. The Hwoman
who shows her age perforc e
loses one Of her strongest hold S
on man; and what does a WON
an live for pray, save to capti-
vate the hearts of the ma! e
population?
Nine. Recamier was a belle at
80 years; Cleopatra upset the
world at 40; Aspasia was a
power in Greece long after the
bloom of her youth was fled;
Nine. de Steel had a whole hos t
of worshipe;s at her feet, in.
Guiding Lord Byron, when sh e
was gray-haired-but why
enumerate? The whole his tory
of the world goes to show that
the contention Of the knowing
ones concerning the potency of
the woman of 40 is founded on
the strongest of facts.
This is only another respect
Of the eternal feminine. The
girl of II may reign in the his
torical novel, and her sway
may be absolute, but it is not
the girl of II who reigns in the
world at large, and who infu-
ences life as she is lived in the
twentieth century.
The girl of II may get busy
with our hearts once in while,
but the woman who is 80 or 40
plus is the only charmer who
cuts ice for any great length of
time. All which revives the
old quotation:

and what a stranger
Is woman!-Post Dispatch.

are the principle ones for NJ S.

honey from fruit bloom, but
use most if not all of this for
brood rearing and this brood
is produced just right to get
them matured and ready for
business for white clover bloc m
and if there are not much frui

for the bees to work on the
fruit bloom when it is wet.
The bees should thea be fed &c

the bees should have had good

Then again when the white

ed, the bees should be induced
to go 10 work IL the surplus
chamber by placing combs in it
or even cutting out some of the
combs from the lower cham Der
containing the young brood and
placing them in the upper
chamber. This induces the
bees to go up there to take care
of this brood. and will also
start the storing of honey If
any is coming in. This pro.
ceedure will secure a surplus of
honey if to be had, while if the
bees are let alone they would
more than likely prepare to and
swarm, and so in most in
stances this early honey flow
is past before the bees are in
shape to secure any surplus
honey If increase is wapted
the bees will usually swarm
any way later or if they do not
swarm naturally they can be
divided and then have plenty
of time to build up again and
get strong in numbers when the
fall flow comes on.
