.LEAp YEAR CHANCES
FOR WOODBURY. MAIDS
Doctors. Lawyers, Merchants and
Politicians to be had FOR
the Asking.
Let cupid in his subtle style.
Allow the girls our men beguile,
For we've store for maids galore
To WOO. and win, and conquer.

Is is leap year, but why this apathetic
state of affairs? Twenty three days have
gone by, and yet there has been literally
nothing doing.' There have been leap
year dances, leap year parties, and leap
year phllopenas, yeb Woodbury. has not
been startled with the news OF even an
engagement.
Now, according TO the number of days in
the year, and the number of available men
that is, men who have seen comrads in
baschelorhood fall by the matrimonial path
way lit would seem that there should be
one, anyhow, every foItnight, or a lull
during wet and muddy, or extremely cold
weather, and fYe or six Within a week
following.
With over thirty ''batchs" in town
there should be one announcement every
twelve days. There are surely more than
that in Woodbury., and the host Of she
hopeful, from far and near should see TO it
thas the mathematical calculation does hot
60 wrong. and If they find more in this
little city, 'break the news' as often as
once week.
Ib may be that to date the fair ones haye
not fully realized their opportunities and
that they are merely looking over the field
with view to soon swooplng down on an
innocent victim with all sails set But il
would not be amiss, in case some fair one
from distance who lives In q region not
SO prolific as Woodbury. with availables, tc
make few suggestions So that d choice
viii be more easy.
Is it doctor that is wanted? We have
him. On a lawyer? we haYe two. A den
tist? Two more. A preacher? We'll gel
him. A hero? Ready also. A politician!
Yes, again we say we have bin, and any
thug mere that may be desired. No matter
bow the woman searching for a man entes !
Woodbury., she will surely fud him, for
the ''old standbys" have ridden out many a
storm and fear no breakers ahead
From the City Clerks office, where Rob't
Sparks, a member Of the bar keeps watch
full eye over the affairs of the municipality,
one goes TO the Office of the skiliful City
Solicitor, Francis B Davis, who. though
nos so proficient on the piano as bis fellow
lawyer, SILL has winning way, which,
though not so we'll known as winner of
the fair hand of women, still is great at
getting votes for leadership of the Republi-
can County Committee and kindred posi-
tIons.
Leaning Matlack, lawyer and golf
player, has walked alone after many long
drive, and long csddying for himself has
given sad aspect to the gentleman of
the law similar to that of one who has
given up the hope Of carrying off the record
for bhe links
Then A. S. Wilson, with roller skates and
an automobile, who has been in Company I
8 long that he would be just too easy for
anything TO make arch in the right paths,
would be I n excel ent s'catch. - But for
the automobile g,rl, Herbert and John
Twells and Richerd Muford give Bert a
good run, for they all have machines and it
would be clear case OF personality as TO
who would have the prize cast at his feet
for it is thus the leap year practice starts.
The girl who likes she water. For her we
name the Hutchinson boys, James and
Thomas, who have as fine crafts as ever
parted the muddy waters of the creek, and
they II show any rival clean par OF heels.
Rodney Twells, though can follow along in
the wake of the Zip, and with spacious
cabin and luxurious seats make the trip
most enjoyable Herman Ruch too can
take acompanion in his trim boat, but since
the Trude II has departed, Clarence Laub
has to 90 either by foot or trolley.
For the lass who likes the cash their are
several BANKERS, Gus Pierson, also a base
ball enthusiasts, who limits the supply hand
od out at the Farmers and Mechanics Bank,
and Ellison H. Davis, the cashier at the
same institution, who though jolly good
fellow as far as the men are concerned, has
SO far given the God Of Love utter defeat
Graham Craig, who is closely rel ted to
j. Pierpont Morgan, would also be worthy
OF any woman's steel, and with good care
wonid not lead any woman to regret her
haste
To save doctor bills might well be an OBJ
lect in any matrimonial venture, and IL
some maid who would not faint at the sight
OF blood, or scream at the odor of ether
should decide to take doctor by storm
she might stop at the old CORVALLIS Head
quarters, where Doctor Duncan Campbell
has advertised office hours DR. Z K
Morgan, though dentist is not far away and
as this gentleman has pulled himself from
the jaws of many an apparent danger, deli
cate operating will be necessary before the
prize can be said TO be successfully landed
Over in the First Ward two more doctors
are to be found in the Underwood brotheis,
Horace, med +, and Amos, denti
