coMlNG TO OREGON
Thousands.Wiil Seek Homes in
the West.

Hon. J. H. Ackerman, superin-
tendent of public instruction for
the state of Oregon, has asked
the Oregon Development League
to supply the details of its work
and especially the facts relative
to the colonists rates to each and
every one of the county superin-
tendents throughout the state of
Oregon. /
| Mr.. Ackerman believes that
the splendid opportunity afforded
the people of the Middle West to
visit almost every point in o: =
gon at the low rate of $25 should
be put before the schools, and
that all teachers in the state
should not only inform themsel-
YES of the facts, but impart those
! facts to their students.
There is an absolute hunger
for Information about Oregon
throughout all portions :. OF the
United States. In addition to
many thousands that have been
coming since D.cember, $3.50
inquiries have been added within
the past few days. Coos Bay.is
especially active and the results
are paying them we'll for their
expense in time. and money.
Corvallis receives more attention
than any other point in the Will
lamette Valley, while Medtord
leads in Southern Oregon.
Many other points in Oregon
are at work and the commercial
and industrial bodies of the state
should get out their very best ad-
vertising matter and into the
mails without delay.
The Portland Commercial Club b
added 81, 48o to the fund with
which it is advertising the state
Of Oregon at a dinner last Tues
day night.
The newspapers of the state
are doing grand work in calling
attention to this opportunity to
increase the population and
wealth of the state, while the
teachers and in some cases the
preachers are making it their
business to interest the citizens
of Oregon in inviting those who
live in the older sections of the
country to come out and make
their homes in the Beaver Stale.

Troubles of Mail Clerks.

The railroad mail clerks have
their troubles, like the rest of
humanity, and they are praying
for the time when everyone will
write a plain, legible hand and
direct their letters in a readable
style.
1t is believed that before long
the pos Office department will re-
quire that in addressing envelopes
the present system be reversed
and the state and town given
first and in as prominent writing
or type as it is possible to make
without dist CURING the appear
ance OF the envelope too much,
the name of the person for whom
the letter is intended being oi

CHINA new YEAR MERE.
How the Chinese Count Their
Year-Noise to Brighten Devils.

The celebration Of China New
Year was ushered in Moudav
night in Corvallis. AS the shoot
ing of huge fire crackers aud the
general din incident to the cele-
bration always attracts attention
from the entire white population
and causes much wonderment as
to why these things are
done, some light is herewith Of
fered on the subject. The Port
land Journal of Tuesday evening
says of the season in that city:
With those ear-splitting ieton-
ations so essential to a successful
observance of the advent of the
new year, Portland's Chinese
population at midnight inaugu-
rated the annual 23-days' cele-
bration of the thirty-third year of
the reign of Kwong Shue, prince
of the sun, moon aad stars and
beloved sou of the famous Hong
Gi, whose bones went to m1ngle
with those of his ancestors in the
fatal thirteenth year of his occu-
pancy of the throne.
UnliKe the Gregonian caleudar
the Chinese method of computing
the lapse of time starts upon the
ascendency of an emperor TO the
throne. Upon his death, when
new monarch takes the reigns
of power, the hands of time are
turned back again to one.
With the wierd incautations of
Enthusiastically garbed priests the
cymbals, the squeak Of the fd-
dies, the burning of incense and
above all the din of the exploding
crackers, the ubiquitous devils
were given such a great fright
last night that, according to the
bespectacled Asiatic seers, the
fomenters of evil have been
scared away for at least another
twelve months.
Feasting is natural concomi-
tant of this season of cheer and
none are so poor but who are
able to afford a fagon of wine
and vanished cigar. From the
depth OF the sandalwood chests
the celestials have brought forth
their finest raiment and China
town is riot OF color. Crackers
will be exploded daily from S to
8 a. m. and 6 to 9 p. NJ, through
the dispensation of the city coun-
Gil. Services are being held in
every joss house and several large
banquets are scheduled during
the week.

Made a Good Offer.

At the regular monthly meet
of the Corvallis city council held
this week, committee from Jobs
addition waited upon the council
and offered to donate lot in the
western part of town on which to
build a house tor the Jobs addi-
ton hose cart, aud to erect the
house free of cost provided the
city would pay for the material,
which expense shall not exceed
5000. The offer was at once ac-
cepted and as soon as material can
be taken to the site the work
will begin.
The location for the proposed
house is Immediately east of the
Blakeslee prune drier, and the
ground was donated for the pur-
pose by Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Biakeslee, which certainly shows
commendable public spirit or
their part.
The size of the building will
be 1ox28, "a feet high. Tht
lower floor will be used as ,
house for the hose cart and th,
apparatus and the upstairs for {

JOHNSON BILL WILL PASS.
Practically no Opposition to Ben
ton Senator's Measure.

Salem, Ore, Feb. IL -Sena
tor Johnson's road bill was fa-
vorably reported by the House in
committee of the whole this
morning, and will be passed in
the same form that it was re-
ported to the house from the SEN
ate. Purdy, of Washington, was
chairman OF the meeting and at
ter an attempt to so amend the
bill as to make compulsory the
employment of cenvicts in carry
ing out the provisions of the bill
had failed, the measure was
placed on the calendar in regular
order for third reading.
The bill provides for the build
ing and improvement of the main
highways of the state under the
direction of the state highway
commission and a State Road
Engineer, ts:e expense of the
work to be shared equally by the
state, the county in which the
Improvements are made, and by
the abutting property that de-
rives the benefit. The maxi
mum amount to be expended by
the state in behalf of any one
county within the state is limit
ed to $40, 600. This bill will
pass the house with practically
no opposition.
When the bill was under con-
sideration in the committee this
morning Newell proposed an
amendment making it compul-
sorry on the commission to en-
|ploy convicts in rock quarries at
different points within the state
The amendment made available
an appropriation of $25, 900 to
carry its provision into effect,
this amount to revert to the
state treasury from the first
moneys that are received under
the tax that is provided for in
the bill. The amendment fur
ther required that at least so of
the convicts Of the state peniten-
tiary should be so employed.
Perkins raised objections to the
amendment which he considered
entirely impracticable. He said
lit would be impossible to ship
the convicts into different sec.
tions of the state, and recalled
that it had been the experience
of other states that had tried the
experiment that it cost more to
recapture the convicts who were
constantly eluding the guards
than the rock was worth. He said
that the same amendment had
been unanimously defealed in
the senate aud he feared the
chances of the bill becoming a
law would be seriously interfered
with if the house should insist on
lacking to the bill an amend
ment that had been offered.
Newell's amendm>nt was de-
feated by the vote of Ie to 81.
The DILL was then placed on reg
ular order for third reading
