changes, and for the better, too.
To his way of thinking the William
cite Valley is forging ahead quite
and he declares that our
old residents are not aware of the
our country is making
owing to the fact that the growth is
not the result of boom, but is
gradual and healthy. On re-
& ction this seems true.
Miss Agnes Wilson has received
the nomination as the Corvallis
contestant to enter the race for a i
free trip to the Yellowstone Park,
as offered by the Oregonian. Miss
Wilson's candidacy has been in
dorsed by four leading business
men, of Corvallis, which entities
her to the formal nomination. In
eacn issue of the Oregonian a free
vote coupon is printed, and voters
should save and poll these votes fer
the local contestant. Subscriptions
to the paper entities one to a certain
number OF votes, and these should
also go to the credit of Miss Wilson
who is a popular and deserving
young lady.
