A good selection. Eddie stock got bauk from Portland yesterday, where he has been watching manceuvers at the Exposition the past week. The Methodists organized an Ep worth League at their church Sunday evening. The charter membership was small. Walla Walla was visited by a seri ously destructive fire last Tuesday, doing damage to the amount of $20,000. Linn county has 122 pedagogues to represent her rcIiodIs. Wonder how many Benton can boast of at the pres ent time? Mrs. P. M. Abbey, who has been visiting the past week in Corvallis with relatives, went to Portland yesler day to visit during the month. Editor Conover and his family went to the metropolis Wednesday, and we trust the public will make allowances lor the appearance of this issue. Chas. Bandon, long a resident of Benton county, died at Monroe, Sun day night, after a brief illness. He was about sixty-five years of age. David ItoWts, son of Hon. J. H. Roberts, of Myrtle Point, Coos county, arrived in the city last week, and is in attendance at the Corvallis college. Quarterly Conference at the Evan gelical church Sunday evening next, conducted by Rev. J. M. Dick, the former pastor. Good music is prom ised. Mrs. V. H. Johnson and Miss Florence Haskins, of Eureka, Arkans as, are the recent arrivals in Corvallip. They intend to spend the winter here visiting. Mrs. R. M. Divisson has been ailing for some time, and is no better at this writing. We hopa by another issue of this paper she will be conva? lescent. Some of the members of St. Mary's - Chapter of the Eastern Star, of this city, will assist ia the organization of a chapter of that order at Albany next Saturday evening. The county assessor has completed bis work on the assessment with the exception of footing and balancing the totals . A considerable increase is probable in property values. Prices in the local market remain stationary. Potatoes are reported to be cn an upward tendency, but there is ltitle possibility of &n increased price this year in this part of the country. The runaway record has been en larged this week with the addition of three more runways. No damage is reported, but there was considerable life jerked into visible notice in conse quence of the exciting events. i t : bring up children are childless; the only men who know perfectly how to run a railroad are those who never had h chance to try; and the fellow who knows how to run a newspaper is the fellow that never did it. Mr. and Mrs. G. W. McL iughlin, of Buena Vista, spent Thursday in the city. Mr. McLaughlin is a prominent and successful farmer of that section, and was here making preparations to ship several thousand bushels of pota toes to the San Francisco market. E. E. Wilson will go to Portland on Monday to attend the law school of the Oregon State tfniveisity during the winter. Ed's industry and persever ance will go a great ways towards the accomplishment of his designs, and his numerous friends have great hopes of his success. The weather has been unusually warm and beautiful during the week. The Easterner, who may per chance be visiting these parts, will have a hard time in trying to convince him self that he can find a better climate east of the Rockies. We don't believe they make 'em. The East Portland Chronicle comes to us this week reduced to a three column sheet. The office and its con tents were totally destroyed by fire last week, and the editor says apologetical ly, that as soon as he can buy a new office he will increase his paper to the regular size. Good, but sorry indeed for his great misfortune. Mr. Grant Berry and Miss Anna Ridenour were married at the resi dence of W. A. Wells in this citv last Monday morning, Rev. Dr. Thompson officiating. They took the train for Portlaud after the ceremony on a brief wedding trip. The two are well known in this city and the Gazette wishes them many years of happiness. The parties who were boring for oil at Hubbard, in Marion county, and lost their auger at a depth of 360 feet, have begun operations again.- They are Pennsylvania oil men, and are con fident that there is oil in Oregon. As Oregon produces almost everything else of a profitable character, we would not be surprised any day to hear of such a discovery. Buyers and growers alike complain that there is no market for potatoes this fall. In San Francisco they bring but 50 and 60 cents, which would make i them but a bit here, for shipping pur poses. But there is no market for spuds for shipping. Oregon this year has grown thousands of bushels of as fine potatoes as eyer grew anywhere, and it seems a pity that they should command no better prices. Apples and Pears. In the, Wil lamette valley this fall the crop of winter apples is the best in quality, says J. A. VanEaton of the fruit ship ping firm of Squire, Farra & Co., and who has visited nearly every orchard in this section during the past few weeks that has been gathered for some four or five years. The quality, barring worms codlin moth is very fine. Those that have given a practic al test of sprayiug against the codlin moth this year can show most gratify ing success, and the time will soon be at hand when the shipper cannot be induced to buy fruit that has not been sprayed. To obtain beneficial results from spraying in our own climate, the orchardist must follow up spraying un til the fruit is nearly or quite develop ed. The system of spraying followed iu the East does not work effectively in our Oregon climate. This year one fruit grower, near Salem, who sprayed thoroughly this season reports gratify ing success. Of his apples he finds 89 per cent, free from worms. Surely that would indicate that spraying pays, when apples seldom sell for less than seventy-five cents per busheL The pear crop this year is considerably be low the average, the Bartletts produc ing only a fair crop, while the Fall Butters and other fall pears will not average over a ha'f crop. Winter pears are almost a failure, with the ex ception of the celebrated "Pound" pear which is a nover failing crop in this Oregon of ours. The shortage in the pear crop is accounted for by that late April cold spell, when the swelling buds were chilled. NOTICE OF THE PROPOSED AS SESSMENT For the Sewer extending in a con uousline through the alleys and streets, commencing at the south end of alley in block 9, in the ori ginal town of Marysville (now the city of Corvallis) and extend ing north to sewer in Madison street; also commencing at the north end of alley in block 11 and extending south to the sewer in said Madison street in said city. Oregon at the World's Fair.- State School Superintendent McElroy is already busying himself in preparin Oregon s educational exhibit for the World's Fair, says the Statesman. He has already received the first invoice of material for the exhibit, which will be a comprehensive one. This invoice is from the schools of Ashland and will be added to from time to time by the several cities, towns, villages and lmm- ets of the state. Oregon's school ex hibit at the World's Fair will consist of kindergarten work, school drawings free hand and pen work school apparatus, medals, diagrams, copies, illustrations, statistics, maps histori cal and geographical and general specimens of school work. It is ex pected that our higher institutions of leirning colleges and universities will furnish statistics and illustrations of buildings, libraries, museums, col lections, courses of study, catalogues, etc.. Prof. McElroy will be engaged in this work all fall and has fond hopes cf preparing such a collection as may be a credit to the great state of Oregon. Bob Burdelt says God wasted mud when he made the man who takes a newspaper from the postoffioe for three or four montns and then has the post master mas k it "ret isei l i order to avoid paying for it. Bob miht have added that the mud was probably a soft quality. . We -regret to anuounce that Ed. Crystal, one of the popular clerks at S. L. Kline's, to day took his departure for Vacaville, Calif., where he will en gage with his brolhev in the general merchandise business. His mother and two sisters will remove there in the spiing, and will make that state their future home. Ed. is a worthy, industiious young man, and we hope he will make a fortune before tht hadows of ago begin to dawn. 4, Thisand Nothing More. The fol lowing from an exchange indicates that book agents, peddlers, etc., have been tresspassing upon the patience of its editor: "Onci upon a May morn dreary she was working weak and weary; down upon the morrow moping moping up the kitchen floor; while the mop went flipping flapping sudden ly she heard a tapping tapping at the kitchen door. "Tis some visitor." she muttered, "tapping at the kitchen dooj gracious Peter what a bore!" Up she j uniped and nearly swearing, hastily began preparing to appear as women wish to when their callers look them o'er; yanked her apron off and slung it, snatched her headgear off and flung it, nmuBii a aoiman up ana nung it o er the greasy gown she wore. Then she found a plague peddler standing at the door nothing more. Is It Changing 1 Have you notic ed Mt. Jefferson lately 1 Its shape is said to be considerably changed from us previous appearances. Mere is what an exchange has to say about the matter: "It is said in Salem that peo ple living in sight of Mt. Jefferson are deceived by an optical illusion, or the snow has slipped from one side of the peak of the mountain, leaving the sur face as level as that of Table rock. Persons have been" looking at the moun tain with glasses, and each time a flat top where the snow capped peak form erly was greeted their gaze. It is possi ble that it is an atmospheric phenome non similar to the mirage. In any case, the shape of the mountain seems mate rially changed." We might add in connection, that the people of that sec- tiou had better take for the woo ls. Farmers Attention. To farmers who do regular banking business with us, depositing aud drawing checks on us, we will be pleased to furnish them on reasonable terms, money to assist them in paying expenses oi harvesting their crops and assisting their other business. Other kinds of business handled on same terms. The First National Bank, Corvallis, Oregon. Notice, Change in Sugar. The refinery has much improved all yellow sugars and changed names. They are now called Extra C, Golden C and D. The name White Extra C has been dropped, but the Extra C of to-day is even better than the White Extra C was before. Samples can be seen at S. L. Kline's. Our friend, Ruthyn Turney, has been on the sick list for some time, and has not been able to attend to his duties in the Times office. He goes to the bay to-morrow in the hope that his health will be benefited by the change. Notice is hereby given that the common council of the city of Corvallis propose by ordinance to assess the following described persons and property as being benefited in the amounts as hereinafter Bet forth by the construction of a sewer along the line above described. Any and all persons interested, feeling themselves agrieved by said proposed assess ment may appear at the office of the Police Judge in said city, and file their objections withiu thirty days from the date of the pub lication of this notice, so that the same may be heard and determined by the common council.

The harvest of the Willamette valley's prune crop for 1891 is just about finished, and from cart- fully prepared estimates it is judged t De perceptibly larger than last year's crop. Many new orchards are bear- ing this year for the first time, and their product added to the average crop in the old orchards, brings the total output np to quite a handsome figure. The growing of prunes in Oregon is a success, and then cultiva tion may be expected to increase from year to year for many years. Oregon prunes command good prices every- wnere, and tney have thus fai proven themselves a sure crop. Next yeai there will be five times as many prune raised as there were this year. Children Cry forPitcher's Castoria. The Ideal Baking Powder is Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder. For more than fifty years Cream of Tartar and Bi carbonate of Soda have been used for leavening purposes vrith sufficient flour added to preserve the strength of the powder unimpaired, and this with the addition of whites of eggs comprises this pure and wholesome leavening agent, that has been the standard for 40 years. In its use pure, wholesome and delicious food is always assured. Makes cake and biscuit that retain their moisture, and While they are flaky and extremely light they are fine grained, not coarse and full of holes as made with ammonia baking powders, latter dries up quickly. Alum powders leave a bit ter taste in the bread or cake. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder once used, always used. Portland for SnfantS and OtVii "Castoria is so well adapted to children that I recommend It as superior to any prescription known to me." H. A. Aechkh, M. D., HI So. Oxford St, Brooklyn, N. Y. " The use of ' Castoria is so universal and Its merits so well known that it seems a work of supererogation to endorse it. Few are the intelligent families who do not keep Castoria within easy reach." Carlos Marty?, T. D., New York City. Late Pastor Bloomingdale Eeformed Church. Castoria cures Colic, Constipation, . .
