A MODEL COMMUNITY
That Sends Out Many Great Men
-BeIifountain and its New
School.

The Bellfountain high school
building recently y completed and
of which brief mention has been
made in these columns is one of
the finest structures of the sortto
be found in the rural districts Of
Oregon, and it is the just pride
Of southern Benton. Built at
cost of $4, 500, it is provided with
all modefn conveniences such as
heater, patent blackboards and
desks, and it is one of the best
lighted school buildings in the
state. Modelled on the cottage
plan, the school has that invit-
ing home-like air found only in
| few schools Of the best charac-
| ter.
Across the street is little un-
flonsc church, which IS bi-product
Of the great religious gatherings
OF Simpson Chapel and the Bell
fountain campmeetings where
Father Wilbur, Doctor Roberts,
|. D. Driver and other apostles
of Methodism expounded the
gospel in the early days Of Ore
gon. At Simpson Chapel, four
miles away, was held the first
/ Methodist conference on the Pa
cifc Coast.
This farming community,
which is unusually gifted in
those arts of debate, music and
entertainment that are the out
growth of highly cultured influ-
ences of long standing, may
modestly claim as it's own many
, of the public men OF Oregon
, among whom are Congressman
Hawley who was born and RAISED
in this community. And it /:

Explanation of the Numbering
System in Corvallis.

There has been so many ques--
tions asked about the number
ing system just adopted by the
city Of Corvallis that l feel an
explanation will not be out OF
place at this time.
The street committee with the
assistance of the Postmaster tried
to give this matter careful con-
sideration, and after studying.
numerous systems decided ON
the one just installed. We Sc
lected Monroe street as the base
line or dividing line between
North and South, because it is,
the most central and longest.
street running East and West
so all streets running North and
South, north of Monroe street,
will be called North, such as n
Third ST., n. Fourth St., etc.
We did not think it necessary
to add the word South to the:
other half, so all streets south of
| Monroe street will be known as:
First St., Second St., Third St.
etc.
We took the river as a base
line for streets running East and
West, so numbers on all streets
running East and West will COM
mence with 100 at First street,
even numbers on one side of the.
, street and odd numbers on the,
other side.
On account of numerous build
, ings in the city only occupying
u to Is feet frontage, we allow
ed a number for every 121 feet
or four numbers to every SO foot
lot, to avoid using half numbers,
and 100 numbers to the block.
+ Where there are alleys between
! blocks the hundred will be de-
: vided at the alley. The num-
p bers will commence with 100 at
the base line and increase 1OC
numbers for every block from
Isuch base line.
" Any person wishing to put
: number on house or building
: can call at the Police Judges OF
Ii flee and find out the correc
t, number.

stockmen of Benton county are
taking alively interest in the big

the show for selling purposes,
this being feature which will
make the show greater success
than that Of last year.
Stockmen throughout the
county whoare planningto bring
stock to Corvallis to sell during

ton Of this stock to the commits
tee atonce, order that arrange
ments can be made for bringing
buyers to Corvallis on those
dates. This is special favor to
the stockmen and they should
avail themselves Of the oppor-
tunity Of listing the animals they
wish to offer for sale, as buyers
cannot be persuaded to come
from abroad unless a reasonable
amount Of stock is assured fol-
their purposes.

MORE POWER TO
YOUR STOMACH
More Strength, More Pleasure. More
Joy, More Success in Life.

= "A popular evangelist some time ago
told of q little Mississippi steamboat
that had big whistle with an aufnl
screech but said he; every time the
whistle blew the boat stopped. just SO,
it is with many of ms. We draw the
power away from the stomach and
shoot it off in making noise. Many a
persons atomach is like hobby horse,
all motion and no progress. Now, if
we can only learn this simple lesson
that we must give the stomach more
power, especially when it has been
badly misused for time, then We vii
find that a lot of our common little ills
will vanish as by magic. The stomach
does not want drastic measures applied
it, and, in fact will not stand 1t. It
revolts, rebels, and causes suffering,
and more suffering.
What the stomach does require oc-
casionally is a gentle. soothing tonic
though potent enough to give it
is decidedly helpful, while examining
dyspepsia dope and laxatiyes into the
stomach is about the very worst thing
that we can do. Feed to the stomach,
when it calls for it, an extra supply of
digestors, so it can more easily mature
the food and prepare it for the blood.
and then You will be doing your stomach

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER
BY CLAY. ROBINSON & co.
Denver. Oct. 9th.

Denver, Oct. 9th.
Receipts of cattle have been heavy this
week but we had good snappy market
up until Thursday noon, at w licn time
nearly all OF the packer buyers received
messages from the Fact advising that
the beef market was in b ID shape and
8 nee that time they have taken off from
10 to 25c per cwt. nearly all the way
along the line, the decline being mo
on medium steers and the fair to good
kinds of killing cows and on medium
weight feeders. The top here this week
was 81 80 for some 1900 10. Wyomings.
Killers, however, bought most of their
beef steers at from 80 70 to "a. 10 and
cows from 81. IS to 1925. Fes decs are
at the lowest point of the season, plenty
of good 800 to 900 ID. dehorned steers
selling from So. 80 to $3 IS and yearlings
from SO 90 to 80 40. Veal the last
couple OF days has been almost unstable.
The recent storms, while hindering the
movement of stock trains, has hal
tendency to drive cattle in of the range
and to market as fast as possible. There
are fairly liberal runs in sight for next
week and we do not look for much inn
proyement in prices.
South Omaha, Oct. Gath.
We have had but moderate supply of
cattle here the past week. since Monday,
but the trade has heen far from salts
factory. Mondays run of 1850 head,
was the heaviest on record and all buy
ers proceeded TO poun1 prices hard.
Declines for the week amount to about
q quarter on all killers nd stoclers
and feeders with the possible exception
of choice yearlingt and twos, which
have been especially light supply.
Election drawing near also has some
effect on the market. as yell as the poor
beee market N the east Receipts will
need to be light the coming we k, to
hold prices even up to present basis.
Top beef this week sod at IS 10. Good
