Appreciate the Flag.

The Corvallis Fire Department
hereby desires to express its ap-
probation of the interest shown
by its many friends in support
ing the Department in the flag
contest. The flag will be given
a prominent position in the City

will remain a testimonial of good
will of the citizens and serve as
a stimulus to future efficient SER

The above refers to the hand

Treed by a Billy Goat.

A good story on some wood
choppers has just reached town.
Out on the RAIDER place there is
gang of men chopping wood.
There is also billy goat of wide
reputation in the neighborhood,
and like all billy goats he likes
fun and tomato cans above all
things else. Now this billy.
from some cause or other, seems
to have taken a great dislike to
these woodsmen, and seriously
objects to having his peace and
quiet disturbed by the sound of
axes, or else he thinks to secure
a good meal from the full dinner
pals of the workmen.
About noon every day Mr..
Billy makes sudden appearance,
with the speed of a locomotive,
directly in the rear and within
close proximity of the south side
OF one of the STOPPING sawyer's
overalls. Usually, though, billy
is not quite quick enough, as
practice has made the men so
active that they are on top of the
woodpile or half way up tree
in the twinkling of an eve, and
billy knocks the bark off the saw
log instead of the soft side of a
pair of denims. Then billy is in
his glory. He sits around and
grins, or chews up few coats,
while the workmen almost de-
stroy their own fort by throwing
all the wood at their enemy.
| If any one dare venture from his
stronghold billy shows the whites
of his eyes and with a Whit OF
two is all ready for business, and
from his looks is quite willing to
juggle a whole crew of wood.
choppers on his horns, which
they say are at least six feet long.
But after about a hours fun, by
which the treed men have sought
out and sat upon the soft side o1
every limb on the tree, Mr..
Billy quietly and contentedly
trots off with an expression oi
victory on his face as though he
had conquered the whole japan.

Corvallis Expands.

Last Monday night the ques-
ton OF extension of the city limits
again came up for discussion at
the meeting OF the city council.
When it was first proposed to ex-
tend, several weeks ago, an
emphatic remon>trance was sign
ed by almost every property hold
er who w-,,ld be effected by the
move, and at the meeting OF the
council last week, this petition
was presented to the city dads,
and created quite a stir. The
question was quite thoroughly
gone over and discussed, pro and
con, and at last was referred to a
committee who were instructed
to more thoroughly look into and
consider the proposed extension.
Last Moaday night the COM
mittee reported; and the question
was again freely discussed, and
for time it seemed as though
no action would be taken in time
for the proposition to go before
this legislature. But after a long
and heated argument, in which
a number of different mott ons
were made, some for dropping
the whole matter and others for
taking in every foot of the pro-
posed additions, the matter was
at last put to final vote, about
: one O'Clock in the morning,
which decided to annex the pro-
posed northern and western sub
] urbs, and leave the addition just
, south of Marys river out. This
decision was highly pleasing to
property holders in south Corval-

record of cla two old parties on
the subject q banks and banking.
There is no question so essential
to the pros perity and CONNER
cial Advancement of a people as
sound financial policies. Great
Britain, France, Germany and
most commercial countries of
Europe, have great central gov

pie, and in aid of commerce.
Under the Act Of Congress of
1871 drawn by Hamilton and
signed by Washington, ''the
father of our country the
Bank of the United States" was
organized, but when the charter
was about to expire in 1911 a bill
to renew it was defeated. Ir
1916 another United States bank
was chartered and in 1882 a bll
to renew it's charter passed botf
houses of congress, but was
vetoed by President jackson

to be a bank on similar lines t,

When the Republican part
