in Southern Mexico.
Their clothing Is made of bark

their only weapons. The bows
are five f,et or more in length,
the arrows ale well made and
fcathered with bright colored
plumage. BY means OF arrows
having a ring on them they man
age to stun birds so as to take
them alive, while fish are obtain

HOUSES WANTED.
Bot Only a Few Are Availa-
ble-The Demand Is I'm
precedented.

There is an Unprecedented de-
mand for. houses. That means
much, because there is always a
strong demand. 1t flares up every
summer and continues throughout
the year. To say that it is now
unprecedented means that it is
stronger than in any former year.
and yet this is true. The knocker
says there are unoccupied houses in
town, and so there are, but scarce
ly any OF Them can be rented. Near
ly all of them are under lea,e, and
the tenant, though absent, is pay
ing rent on them so he will be sure
to have shelter when the swallows
homeward fly. Even many of the
houses now under construction are
alr> aiy engaged. In most instances
wherea man now building home
of his cwn is 10 vacate a leased
house, the later IS rented. There
may be few exceptions, but they
are very few. One real estate firm
has one vacant house, and there
are three applications for it. If it,
had been a desirable house, it twould
have been engaged long aSo. Anoth-
er firm has three disengaged houses,
but they "are not good ones said
a member of the firm. 'Of good
houses there ale none," he contin-
,ued. IF a goodly number more
were available. they would be quick
ly rented, for there is far stronger
demand for houses at this time than
at the same time year ago. T" The
demand for houses IS very strong.
There will be people and in my
opinion. lots of them who will not
get lo.ated,' said another real
estate man. ''Most of the people
who are making application are
people from abroad who want hous-
es to occupy while they come here
for educational purposes. In the
last week before college opensif the
demand grows as it usually does,
the search for houses will become
frantic, and many will be disap-
pointed
OF course, occasionally good
house appears for rent, bnt it is
quickly snapped up, those who are
seeking accommodations should be
constantly on the watch. 1t was
supposed that the 81 houses actu-I
ally built last year would in large
measure satisfy the demand for
houses. Eighty-four new houses
means an increase of probably 500
in the population, which in Corval-
lis means a 20 pei cent. addition to
the census. Besides the houses
built last year a large number of
new ones are now in course of con-
struction or are just completed. At
last accounts the list of completed
and houses under construction has
passed the 20 mark, but still the de-
mand is unsatished.
A man who was in town last week,
looked the town over in vain
search for houses. and left without
engaging one. He wanted a better
house than any of those available,
and could only secure such house
by buying it outright. He was
from Eastern Oregon and wanted a
house for four OF Eve years while
his family could avail themselves Of
local educational facilities. He was
uncertain when he left whether or
not he would return. He particu-
| larry wanted to come to Corvallis
because of her mountain water and
other conditions conducive to good
health and good order.
