Small k Son manufacture their can dies by the new process, the advant ages of which enable them to make very low prices at retail as well as at wholesale The sale of Umatilla reservation Jands began on April 1st. Very much of the land, appears to be bringing a fair price. The sale will last at least forty days. Egan & Achison handle the cele brated Portland cement walls for " cemetery lots. These walls can be furnished at half the cost of. any other and are far superior. - tf. Rev. M. J. Ballantyne, of this city, is in attendance tipon the eighth an nual session of the Oregon Evangelical conference which convened in that city on Wednesday. Coon & Underwood,, of Albany, have purchased the photograph gallery of Pernot Bros., in this city. The new firm assumes the management of the business on April 10th. O. R.

Prof. Yates was in Albany Tuesday .-and Wednesday attending the Linn county teachers' institute. The pro fessor was on the programme for the response to the address of welcome. On Saturday last there were 357 in mates of the Oregon jenitentiary, and if R. Robinson, the bogus newspaper agent, were where he ought to be the number of convicts would be 358. E. Bond has just received a new line of papeteries, (some very pretty designs) calling cards of all the new cuts, tablets, etc , etc, and will guaran tee prices lower than any place in the city.. An alarm of fire was given Tuesday forenoon occasioned by a blaze, issuing from the roof of a-small building near the Exchange hotel.. The fire depart ment responded but their services. were not required, the blaze having been ex tinguished, a.t the time of their arrival AVheat tips the beam at 72 cents. That figure is thig season's high-water mark of the local wheat market. It is not always there is a nice young man calls upon a fine looking widow and finds to his utter dismay that he is "fooled." But that will happen to one April fool day in spite of all a body can do. Some varieties of fruit trees are blossoming and the only fear is that the early bloom may share the fate of the late worm except that it may be caught by the late frost instead of the early bird. Wednesday was the first of April and we were all day in hope that a few long deferred payments of sub scription would come in and. fool us, but the delinquents didn't think of ob serving the day iu that way. Weber fc Son wish to inform the public that they are still in the busi ness and are selling boots and shoes cheaper than ever. Special bargains in ladies' and misses' shoes. They mean business. Give'them a call. Wm. Hiatt, an employe of the Green Basin Lumbering Co., on Satur day, while removing the bark from a saw log accidentally struck his wrist with his ax and inflicted a severe wound, extending almost through the limb. Services at the Presbyterian church next Sabbath morning and evening at 11 and 7:30. Dr. Thompson will ex change pulpits with Rev. E. R. Prit chard of Albany. It is hoped that Mr. Pritchard will sing a solo in the evening. J. M. Forsythe, carriage manufac turer of Salem,, was in Corvallis this week, with a view of establishing an agency in this city. A number of car riages and buggies, of his manufacture are in use in this county, and have given good satisfaction. The ladies of the Firemen's Coffee Club have decided to observe the an niversary of the organization, as is their custom. An excellent committee has been appointed to arrange for a fitting observance of the day May 28th. August Schloeman has placed in position over the door of his restau rant a large lamp-globe of voriousdy colored glass, which is intended to an swer the purpose of a sign. Mr. Schloeman is also decorating the in terior of his place of business. J. F. Freeman, a wealthy gentleman of New vork, and wife and daughter, were guests of oar townsman, Kit Ab bey, during the- past week. Wm. M. Hoag accompanied this gentleman and a number of other on a Yisit to the bay, on Suuday, by special train. Cam. Hemphill desires us to charge the public to look out for astonishing attractions at Jobs' Theatre about May 1st. Cam. did not inform the reporter what would occur, but surely some thing is going' to happen at or about that time. Don't forget the date. Z. Job, Dr. Davis, of Yaquina and' M. H. Kreibel were out to the O. P, front the first of the week to look after their lumbering interest in that locality and to arrange to start the mills. These gentlemen report considerable now in the vicinity of the end of the track. A. M. Reeves, principal of the Phil omath public school, called on Mon day and treated this office to a quan tity of fresh grapes which hid retained all the qualities they possessed when taken from the vines last fall. They were in every way as desirable as the new fruit. John Powell's team undertook to run away with a wagon in this city on Monday, but one of the horses plung ed into a mudhole and he was unable to rise before the velocity of the ve hicle overtook him. He was thrown upon his side, and the team was caught before they could resume their wild career. The Younz Ladies' Aid Society of the Christian church gave a conversa tional social at Job's Theatre on Wed nesday evening. It was largely attend ed, and a splendid literary and musical programme was presented. The re freshments could not be surpassed, and the event was a grand success both so cially and financially. Caroline Gage and Keene's dramtic company appeared at JoVs Theatre Friday and S-iturday evenings, in "The Galley Slave," and "Damon and Pyth ias." If the players were disappointed in their audience the latter" were rather enthusiastic.in their appreciation of the players. The company is one which may be commended to the public. EASTER SERVICES. Easter scngs were sung and Easter festivities were observed in all or nearly all our churches last Sabbath. The Episcopal, Congregational and Presbyterian churches held special ser vices and decorated their churches with vines and plants, and flewers in' a most tasteful and attractive manner. The music was appropriate and most ex cellent in all the churches, and large congregations joined iu observing this most important event and day in the world's history. In addition to the beautiful decora tions at the Presbyterian church were the birds, whose cages were suspended from the electric wires. During the service these sweet songsters gave the most charming music, without the least mistake or discord and at times their shrill voices thrilled the ears and hearts of all present. The decorations at the Congregation al church were very tastefully arranged and the service which was rendered by the Subbath school was very interest ing. The congregations at the Presbyter ian church were exceedingly large dur ing the whole day and in the evening there was not even standing room for many who came a little late and could not get seats. The morning music was very care fully selected and prepared by Mrs. F. M. Johnson, who, with a most excel lent choir rendered it admirably. The Anon Orchestra were assisted in the evening by Mr. Needham-, the musical director of the Gage Keen Co. This gentleman played an organ prelude which was both charming and classical. Dr. J. B. Wells, the leader of the evening choir was on time with some grand selections of anthems and hymns which the large audience greatly en joyed and joined with the choir in singing. The pieces played by the orchestra were charmingly rendered and "Hrrry's" horn seemed to know that it was Easter and was in perfect tune. At the close of the service Mrs. Dr. Wells gave an organ postlude which was one of the choicest per formances of the whole service. Dr. Thompson's sermons were in keeping with the great theme of the "Resurrection" and were most thor oughly enjoyed and appreciated by bll. It is safe to say that in no place in the valley was Easter more generally and appropriately observed than in Corvallis. .. A few months ago B. R. Pendleton, of Rontonl, 111., sent for a sample copy of the Gazette. Upon receipt of the paper he subscribed for six months, and by the time his subscription expired he had decided to come to Oregon and make his home in this state, and he ar rived in Corvallis a few days ago. He made this office a pleasant call on Wed nesday and informed us that he intend ed to purchase a farm in this locality. He is at present the guest of Judge Bryson. Mrs. Spaulding and three sons start ed for Prescott, Arizona, on Monday. This move is taken in the belief that Arthur's health will be benefited, a hope in which this community earnest ly joins the family. Arthur Spaulding served this city well as recorder, has done much acceptable work iu the printing offices of Corvallis, and we heartily commend him and his family to any community in which they may cast their lot. At a gathering in King's valley a young man, " partially intoxicated, named F. Simpson, kicked the church door open during prayers and he was subsequently fined $20 and costs. Al though this is the first instance on rec ord in which alcohol has incited a per son to force a door in order to gain admission to the sanctuary of prayer, it may be looked upon as a strong point for the anti-prohis. Although it is rather early for the seawajd exodus to begin, a few of our people are drifting in that direction. Among those who recently went to the bay was a charming young lady of the valley, and the friends of Ed. Crystal observed that he abruptly came to the conclusion that he required the invigor ating influence of the sea breeze. There is no doubt that something ails Mr. Crystal. M. A. Beach, who farms across the river, brought to this city on Wednes day the first Oregon - radishes of the season. Were the prices to justify an extra amount of attention, a large va- ; riety of vegetables could be raised here 'and placed upon the market much I earlier than is usual. I day there arrived in this city per rail and steamer from San Francisco an immense amount of garden produce, j principally cabbage and celery. This ought to be an unusual occurrence but it is not. No state is better adapted to the growth of many varieties of the vegetables brought from California, than Oregon. Then why these ship meiitsl Perhaps the best reason is that not many of us are skilled in the growth of vegetables, and a large pro portion of those who are, and have had the painstaking industry necessary to success in this business, have accu mulated sufficient means to permit them to engage in a more inviting pur suit. The old story of the ease with which, until late years, the Oregonian obtained a comfortable living, is at the bottom of the non-nroduction of a v'a riety of vegetables to supply the local market the vear around. Here is a . fruitful field of industry for the eastern or California gardener who has a good knowledge of his business, is indus trous and, of course, frugal. READ "THIS.
