There will be no poolselling or gam
bling of any description allowed at the
state fair this year, is the decision of the
state agricultural board. The members

gambling from their state fairs and thew
have proven best as general financial
successes. s.-Ex.

to indicate that the Corvallis & Eastern

and improve the roadbed to the same
state of perfection as obtained on the
general lines running through the valley.
Seventy-fve-pound rails are being re-
ceiv and these will replace the old rails
now in use, they being much lighter,
weighing from SO to. go pounds
