THE BOOM ON.
Contractors and Mechanics Busy
More Building in Progress than N
During Anv Spaing for Years.

Few..residents of Corvallis, unless
they are addicted to the habit of
strolling over town regularly can
form an,adequate idea of, the amount
of building that is in progress at the
present time Early this spring it
was stated by contractors that the
coming season was to be a record
breaker, and the prediction has
proven a true one. Looking in any
direction one pleases, the eye notes
from one'to half a dozen new build
ings, some under construction others
just begun, and many just compile
ted.
In the western part of town, es-
peciany there is a boom in the build
ing line. A resident the other day
in counting up the new dwellings
that have been erected in the west
ern part of .town during the past
three years, not idclnding the Col
lege hill residents, stated that from
25 to 30 houses had been built, and
there are number now in course
of construction. In this connection
it may be stated that houses to rent
are in great demand at present, and
one man who is now building a
cottage in Jobs Addition has. leased
the same for period of four years
at S. per month. The condition is
a gratifying one to Corvallis people
as carpenters, mason,s IS painters and
all other mechanics are busy, an6
the defnation of industry is progress

BIG SHOWS.
Norris & Rowe's will be in Corvallis
Next Friday.

Norris 4 Rowe'S will be in Corvallis
Next Friday.
The festive tented season is once
more upon US and our hearts beat
in unison with our happy young
sters in the glad anticipation OF
again witnessing the thrilling acts
Of trained athletes; the antics of the
amusing clowns, the marvellous in
telligence of the highly trained
animals and the fearsome, awe
some, yet fascinated wonder which
thrills our hearts when we gaze
upon the wild beasts confined in the
menagerie. 1t is always an event
when the ever welcome Norris &
Rowe's big shows give exhibitions
in this city and this season more
than ever before will the excite
ment run higher for the really
splendid show they brought us
last season, these clever young
managers have added a huge cir
Gus world in itself. 1t contains
gymnasts, acrobats, tumblers,
equilibrists, clowns and athletes
whose marvellous flights through
the air will prove spectacu1arly
thrilling to audiences.
The greater show is just twice as
large as it ever was before. Il
will be given in two rings and
upon an elevated stage. A multi
tude of new features never before
presented in this country will be
shown. 1t will contain a men
agerie of wild and native beasts
performing elephants, camels
lions, tigers, tapirs, llamas, buffa
1oes, kangaroos, ostriches, elk, dee1
ponies. goats and monkeys, but
most wonderful of all will be the
thrilling acts performed high up il
mid air by the athletes.
Managers Norris & Rowe have
secured this season to make gool
their claim that they have a big
circus. and though there has beer
an enormous outlay of capital in
order to secure these acts and nov
elites, no other than the old es
tablished scale Of prices will pre-
vail. The mammoth new tents
will therefore surely hold immenss
audiences and in this way will re
pay the owners for their generous
outlay. The new big shows vii
give two performances here next
Friday, May goth.

Los Angeles to Skagway as tenn
peramental violinist of rare ability

On next Monday evening, Nov.
18th, Mrs. Emma Terry Pollard
will give a concert at the opera
house, under the auspices and
for the benefit of the Benevolent
Society.
Mrs. Pollard's fame as a singer
is wide spread, and each of her
concerts calls together an eager
audience. Every one who has
heard her is eager to hear her
again, and those who have not,
have heard SO much of her that
they feel that they cannot afford
to miss the opportunity to listen
to her sweet voice. She is on
her second tour of this section,
and the following voluntary COM
ments of the press show in what
esteem her talents are held by
our leading contemporaries:

TO Cure Worry.

To cure worry, the individual must
be his own physician; he must give
the case heroic treatment. He must
realize, with every fibre of his being,
the utter, absolute uselessness of
worry. He must not think this is
commonplace bit of mere theory;
it is a reality that he must translate
for himself from mere words to a
real, living fact. He must fully I'M
derstand that if it were possible for
him to spend "a whole series of eter-
mites in worry, it would not change
the fact one jot or little. 1t is a time
for action, not worry, because worry
paralyzes thought and action, too
If you set down a column of figures
in addition. no amount of Worry can
change the sum total of those fig
ures. That result is wrapped up in
the inevitability of mathematics,
The result can be made different only
by changing the figures as they are
set down, n by one, in that column.

There is an old saying that kissing
goes by favor. The board Of health
in Neenah, Wis, takes little stock
in this statement, for that body has
just issued an edict against kissing
and asks the public to discontinue
the practices for the general good.
The town has had an epidemic of
diphtheria and in several cases it has
been traced to this cause. Therefore,
the board of health asks the citizens
TO stop kissing each other and thus
avoid the danger of contagion.
