V. Gates. Superintendent Holm, who has been out in the western portion of the county this week visiting schools, returned yesterday. He reports that Blodgetts Valley and all the country west as far the Summit, was covered with frost Tuesday morning. Sol King has fiinshed threshing for 1895 " and has, from one hundred and forty acres of oats, a crop of four thousand bushels. Heretofore, Mr. King has been a large grower of wheat, but owing to the low price of that commodity last year, he sowed oats this season exclusively. Miss Elaie Long is to teach a term of school this fall near Cohort, in Linn county. At her graduation from the col lege ia June last. Miss Long distinguished herself as valedictorian of the class, and will daabtlcss suececd in her chosen field of labor. Osoar Tom, a prosperous Alsea farmer. and whoso place on Fall Creek is a favorite resort daring the summer months for sports man, was in town over Sunday.

Moore has been looking for a buggy and two sets of har ness that were stolen from his barn in the northern part of the county sometime dur ing Friday eight. Officers have been hunt ing for the thieves, but so far that have succeeded in eluding capture. John Gellatly was ia town' Monday. He says that the threshing machine in whieh he is interested, had, np to Saturday night, run ten days, and had averaged 2,300 bushele of gram per day. ' Monday the craw were still at work on the Currier ranch, upon which the crop this season will be in the neighbor hood of eighteen thonsaad bushels. Miss Amelia Senders, of Albany, Miss May, of Harrisburg, and Miss Sarah Har ris, of Portland, drove over from Albany last Friday, and during the afternoon vis ited friends in this city. Miss Harris for marly resided here, and her friends will be pleased to hear that she is meeting with splendid suceess as a kindergarten teacher in Portland. From Oscar Tom, who was in town Mon day, it was learned that Steve Hoover, am ployed ia a logging camp at the head of tide on the Alsea bay, was injured about the first of the month, by a log rolling over his body, from the effect of which injuries he died last week. The deceased was a wid ower about thirty-five years of age, and leaves one child. Several remedies are offered for baldness, but Jesse Spencer, who has been a barber for thirty years and ought to know what he is talking about, says "they are all fakes." Confidence in Jesse's opinion in this matter has been the means of saving many dollars to some of his bald-headed customers, who were disposed to blow in their money on hair tonics. WiUU Vidito, the veteran justice of the peace of Alsea precinct, was in town Mon day after binder extras. He says harvest ing in the valley is progressing nicely and that there will be an average crop. The early fall-sown wheat is not up to the staa dard in yield, but the spring grain is qnite heavy. At the grove on Mr. Vidito's place cauipmeeting is in progress and is being well attended. Attention is called to an advertisement elsewhere in these columns asking for bids for the furnishing of uniforms to 0. K. C. students during the coming scholastic year. It will be noticed that the cloth required is to be navy blue in color and of Oregon manufacture. This disposition on the part of the board of resents to patronize home manufactories is commendable and will be generally approved. The recent reduction to $3 per ton on grain, nour ana millstutts via tne u. u. E. from Albany and Corvallis to San Francisco, is going to have the effect of greatly increasing the tonnage of the road. It will divert a large amount of traffic that has heretofore gone down the river to Port land and thence to San Fraocisoo by s&wner. Its effect will be felt by both the Southern Pacific and O. R. & N. compa nies, but the latter will suffer mast. Messrs. Hartleas & Blakeslee have begun work on their evaporator and expect to have same completed by September lit. It is a Carson dryer and will have a capacity of 160 bushels of fruit per day. . They al ready have contrasts for drying the fruit of several orchards in the vicinity of Corvallis. In fact, all the fruit they will be able to handle, has already been premised them. Mr. Hartless estimates the prune crop in the immediate vicinity of town at 5,000 bushels. . One of the evidences of returning pros perity is the disposition manifested by some of our merchants toward improving their places of business.' One deserring of es pecial mention for his enterprise in thie dir ection ia S. L. Kline. During the past two weeks, a force of workman, nndef the dir ection of E. D. Horner, has completed ex tensive repairs to the interior of Mr. Kline's mammoth establishment, and the fresh paint and - artistically-decorated ceilings give to the place a decidedly improved ap pearance. There seems to be a disposition on the part of the woolen mills of Oregon to discriminate against the tailors of the state. Mr. Cecil, of this place, has been thinking of putting ia a bid for the manufacture of college uniforms, which are required to be ade of Oregon cloth, bat he finds that it will be impossible for him to compete, ow ing to the price ehargad him for the goods. Mr. Cecil claims that he can buy the same cloth in New York City, and lay it down in Corvallis for $1 per yard less than ha is re quired to pay for it at the mills in either Salem or Oregon City. Bids for the construction of a well at the agricultural college were opened last Satur day afternoon at the office of W. E. Yates. There were several bids varying in amount from $1000 to 3408. the latter being the bid of H. W. Grimahaw, to whom the coatraot was let. The well is to be 36 feet deep and 12 feet in diameter in the dear. It is to be lined with brick and from the top down 12 feet is to be cemented. For the price named the contractor is to oomplete the job by the mid ile of September and furnish all the nece-sary materials. ' It is expected the wall will furnish an adequate supply of water for all the aeeds of the institution. Last week a Pendleton hotel was burned and in ths debris was discovered the charred remains of three of the fire's victims. Later developments indicated that the fire was set to cover evidences of murder and robbery, and Monday last, C. Moors, known as "Kid" Moore, and Frank Whetstone were arrested on a complaint charging them with committing the doable orima. It is thought by some that this "Kid" Moors is none other than Sid Moore, who has guned con siderable notoriety in these parte as a gam bler, and who left here soon after the recent city election. . Moore's friends in this place elaim to have heard him speak of a pal, liv ing in Portland, whom he .- called Whetstone, which gives color to the theory that Sid ia oue ef the parlies ar I rented. 'Last Thursday - Gene M. Simpson aad Mart Spangler left for Newport, and with Geo. L. Pan!, who left Saturday, they will form the Corvallis contingent of a band of selected masieians, from various parts of the state, that will be under ths leadership of Willis McElroy during the balance of the season at Yaquina. The 2soond Regiment band, of Salem, has been stationed at New port for several weeks, but their music bad not given entire satisfaction and upon the earnest solicitation of several promiuent cit izens of that place, Mr. McElroy'-was in duoed to take hold of the matter. Prospects for a very large attendance at the agricultural college this fall ar ex ceedmgly flattering. The announcement that tuition fees had been entirely abolished has had the effect of popularizing the insti tutiou among ths people throughout -the state, and inquiries from parents who iu tend seuding their boys and girls to the col lege this year are being daily received bv President Bloss and Secretary Yates. In a few days ths college catalogue for 1895-6 will be issued. It will contain a deal of information pertaining to the courses of study and other matters that prospective students wish to know and will be gener ously distributed throughout thAtate. Tuesday's Democrat says: Manager Stone, of the O. C. & E. came to Albany this noon to meet W. H. Kennedy, chief engineer of the O. K, & N, whom he had engaged to corns to Albany and give the rauroaa Driage at tui city a thorough in spection, with a view to rebuilding or im proving it, as is needed, probably practi cally the former. The bridge has done good service in the past, but its days are nearly over. Mr. Kennedy is one of the most ex pert bridge men en the ooast, and his report will determine just what kind of a struc ture will take the place of the present one. This is anothet one to show that the present management mean business in at least the mitter of betterments, if not more. ' In mother column will be seen the notice of sale of the real and personal property belonging to the insolvent estate of Frantz Brothers. The personal property, to be sold September 17th, at Hoskins, includes about 200,000 feet of rough and dressed lumber iu assorted lengths and sizes. The following day Assignee Yates will sell at the courthouse door in Corvallis, the mill plant, together with 262 acres of land in Benton county, and some residence property in the town of Buena Vista, Polk connty. These properties ar all valuable and should interest a number of buyers. This is espec ially trae with regnrd to ths mill, the ma chinery and fixtures of which are ia good condition. Wm. H. Taylor, manager and principal owner in the Victory placer mines at Glen dale, in the southern part of the state, writes the Gazette of the completion and successful operation of the company's im mense pumping plant. . Ha eajs in part: At 1:30 p. m. Saturday, August 10th, 1895, Mrs. W. H. Lewis, assisted by Mr. H. Brand, hoisted the glorious old 'Stars aad Stripes" in commemoration of the com pletion of what is believed to be the first practical pumping plant ever established in the state of Oregon for the purpose of op erating placer mines the year around. . While the national salute was being fired, the great pumps were put in motion, and the problem of placer mining in Southern Ore -gon during the dry weather solved as all. who witnessed the powerful stream rash ing from the giant against the gold-bearing gravel banks will testify." u : Two young ladiss of Corvallis had a nar row escape from a watery grave oue day lost week, as is evidanaod by the following ac count of their aeveatnre, takci from the Yaquina News: "What might have been a serious accident was luckily a vorted by the timely assistance of two of oar young men On Saturday. It seams that Miss Amy Plummer and Miss Dorothea Nash, ef Cor vallis, who are visiting Mrs. Hanry Nice, started out for a row, aad after uniting op ths bay a few miles, where they had lunch, started on the return and, as the bay was very rongh, the young ladies had a hard pull, and .when directly off of the month of the slough, where there is always a large break, they completely gave out and were unable to keep tne boat head on. Ed. Diven, who was just going on board the schooner, Mary Gilbert, noticing the pre dicament they were ia, with the assistance of one of the ship's crew, launched one of the boats, and in a few minutes had the young ladies safely on shore. COUNCII, PROCJJBBING9. It is iasportant that all prune growers of this secTBntttt''ad the meeting ef the Cen tral Willamette Fruit Union, to be held Saturday, the 24th inst., at the conrthouse. Mattere at that time will come before the union of especial moment. There is an ef fort being made to pool the entire prune crop of the Willamette Valley, and the success of the plan will largely depend upon the concerted actio of growers throughout this section. ' At this meeting will be ex plained the details of marketing the fruit and other matters pertaining to the pro posed pool. An approximate estimate will be made of the amoant of fruit to be mar keted for this locality aad an effort will also be made to ascertain as to whethar growers desire to-onter the pool or not. . This infor mation it will be necessary to obtain a,t the meeting the 24th, as the following Wed nesday there ie to be a general meeting of prune growers at Portland, at which time the proposed deal is expected to be consum mated. .

Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder World Fair rugneot Modal tM Dioiocnav Preceding tha opening of .the council Monday night for business,, those present were entertained with a dialogue between Chief of Police Taylor and Councilman Lee, in which personalities wore indulged in qnite freely. .The controversy grew out of a dis pute as to the allowance of a bill claimed by Taylor to be due for work performed spme time sgo for the city,' but which the street committee had refused to O. K. Some time ago the council passed a resolution requiring that all bills incurred for the improvement of streets should be authorized and audited by the street committee. Councilman Lee, who is a member of this committee, claimed that the work for which the bill was pre -seated had never been ordered by the com mittee and refused to O. K. the bill. This statement was contradicted by the chief of police and, until the mayor rapped for or der, the conversation between the two be came both loud and animated. Fortunately the only amunition used was jawbone, and neither of the contestants was injured. , During the reading of the minutes, sev eral councilmen came in and took their seats and when the journal had been read the only vacant seat was that of Councilman Peet, who came in later. The 6rst matter to come np for consider atioa was the report of the fire and water committee. To it had been referred, at the Jnly meeting, the matter of investigating the needs of the city in the way of addi tional water facilities for lira purposes. Their report was qnite a lengthy one, show ing that careful pains had been taken ia the dii-carge of their duty. They recommended the putting iu of 30 new hydrants. These were. to be well distributed over the city and would afford protection in the outlying additions. They also advised- the abolish ment of six of the ten hydrants now in e. A motion to accept the report brought forth a epirited discussion that lasted seme time and which was participated in by most of the members present. Councilman Lee asked to be informed as to tha contract price pel hydrant. This, it was stated, was $3 per month, and under the present contract the monthly cost to the city for the 34 plugs would be $102. Samuels opposed accepting the report, be lieving that the water company . should be given a new franchise. He tbonght that the council was fooling away its - time iu considering the matter ander present con ditions. : If the plugs were located as rec ommended by the committee they would be of no benefit because the supply of water through four inch mains would be inade quate. He said the company should be met half way like men. The company had not the money to extend their plant ns rap-J idly as would be required uuder the recom mendation of the committee, but that they would do so as fast as possible. He be lieved that a compromise could be effected and the matter amicably adjusted to the best interests of all concerned, if the com- mitte would meet the members of the company and confer over the proposition in a business like way. Councilman Flett, a member of the com mittee, t.aid there were two classes of citi zens in town. One claimed the council sould force the water company, under the existing contract, to extend its plant at the request of the council. The other class be lieved the council were powerless to enforce any demand against the company. Oat of respect to the opinion of the former citizens he had been induosd to sign the committee's report. He thought the demand ehould be made on the company in order to deter mine what they proposed doing. In any event, the acceptance of the committee's report would not interfere with fotnre ac tions of the couacil, and what was neces sary at this time was to determine the num ber of hydrants the city wanted and their location. Councilman Greffoz, also a member of the tiire and water committee, believed there was no necessity of compromise. If the wster company coald not bo farced to com ply with the contract, then there was no reason why it could force the city. Davis, also one of the fire and water committee, said a careful investigation of the matter had been made and thought it impractical for the city to attempt getting along with a less number of hydrants than was recommended in the report. He be lieved that the suburban portions of town were just as much entitled to fire protection as any other. Finally an aye and no vote was called for and all voted aye with tha exception of Samuels, who voted no. The street committee to whom was re ferred the matter of licensing bill posting, reported by ordinance, which was subse quently passed without amendment. The ordinance provides that no person shall dis tribute dodgers, hand bills or other adver tising matter within the limits of the city of Corvallis unless such person has first been granted a license for such bnsiusss. The is fee fixed at $5 per quarter, and tha pen- alty for failing to comply with the ordinance is a fine of from $5 to $20 for each offense or imprison meat la the city jail. When the allowing of bills was reached Councilman Greffoz objected to the July ac count of the water company, and, upon motion, it was referred to the fire and water committee, of which Mr. Greffoz ia ehair- man. A bill amounting to 82.50 for feeding horse at Eglin'a stable brought forth an en. quiry as to the nature of tha bill from Chairman Peet, of tho finance committee, who is always watchful of the city's finan cial affaire. Chief Taylor explained that tha acosnnt waa for the feeding of a heria for five days that he bad taken np on tho streets. ... Further enquiry developed the faot that the animal had been sold at tho end of the five days to Ned Smith for one dollar. At tha JuW meeting the matter of reduc ing the saloon licenso from $500 to $400 per annum was referred to the finance commit tee, but the oommittee had not come to an understanding and requested further time, which waa erantad. Petitions from fire companies asking for a nna.rfcn-1 allowance of $15 each, to assist m defraying current expenses, were referred to the fire and water committee. Councilman Leo offered a resolution in which was incorporated a portion of tha water company'! eontraet. Tha portieo cited had reference to the company's agree ment to.farnish sufficient pressure to throw water a heighth of 40 feet. On motion, tha resolution was adopted, and the; police judge was instructed to prepare a certified copy of same and deliver to the company. . The street committee reported that it had closed a contract with J. M. Hufft for 200 yards of gravel, to be delivered upon the streets, at the rate ef 37J cents per yard. ' NOTICE .

We meet With love in many fashions when we lift First to our lips liie's waters bitter sweet. IvOve comes upon us with resistless power Of curbless passion and with headstrong wiU, It plays around like April's breeze and shower, Or calmly flows, a rapid stream, and still. It comes with blessedness unto the heart That welcomes it aright, or bitter fate It wrings the bosom with so fierce a smart That love, we cry, is cruder than hate. And then, ah me! when love has ceased to ' - bless Our broken hearts cry out for tenderness. We long for tenderness like that which hung About us, lying on our mother's breast A selfish feeling, that no pen or tongue Can praise aright, since silence sings it best A love, as far removed from passion's heat As from the chilliness of its dying fire A love to lean on when the failing feet Begin to totter and the eyes to tire. In youth's brief beydey hottest love we see The reddest rose we grasp: but when it dies, God grant later blossoms, violets sweet, May spring for us beneath life's Autumn skies! God grant our prayer that some loving one be near to bless Our weary way with simple tenderness! . Wm. H.Taylor. Think of this.
