Corvallis people must not forget the State Fair which is to open in Salem on the, 14th of this month. The promoters promise to make it the best, state fair ever held in Ore gon. We hope our people will not only have a good exhibit, but will strive to make the fact -known that they are rom Corvallis, and that they propose to win a goodly num ber of the premiums. If Benton county wishes the fact known that she is still on the map, it is her duty to show herself at her best, wherever the people of the state most od congregate. A word to the wipe Byington Frantz, of Kings Val ley, was in town on Wednesday.

After many years of faithful ser vice as instructor in woodwork at the O. A. C, D. W. Prichard has resigned his position, and formed a busmees partnership with Taylor Porter. The new. firm will devote themselves to carpenter work, and they certainly possess the require ments that command success. The resignation took efftjct on Monday last. For several years Sulphur Springs, situated on the farm of T. C. Baker about eight miles north west from Corvallis, has been a favorite spot where those seeking rest and recreation have during the summer remained for a time. The resh mountain air at that place is invigorating and in contrast with the hot weather in the valley. The water from the spring on the hot test day is as cold as if coming from a bank of ice. Nearly every person is lbnd of the water to drink and believes it beneficial to health. An occasional person dislikes the taFte of the water- owing to the taste of sulphur. , During the last , few weeks there were 27 regular camps, with 105 persons constantly in at tendance, besides many more who were coming and going. If sur roundings were improved And the spring advertised many more peo ple would go there. A. E Needham met with a seri ous and painful accident at B od gett, about 9 a. m., on TueUy. while working on the ranch of Mr. Spencer. He. was engaged in driv ing the horses that run the horse power working the threshing ma chine, and in some way his foot be came entangled in the ( gearing of the machine, and ws crushed almost to a jelly. Mr S .encer brought the wounded man in Cor vallis on the 11 a. m. train, and he was taken .to the residence of Dr. Cathey, where the foot received im mediate attention. During all this time Mr. Needham exhibited re markable neive and coolness: A thorough examination convinced the surgeon that amputation was necessary, and the patient was re moved to the residence of Lee Hen kle, where the operation was per formed by Dr. Gathey, assisted by Dr. Pernot. v The amputation was made about four inches ""above the ankle, and at the last report .the patient was p-sting easy and in a fair way to recovery. A perfect Oregon day bid fair to gladden the hearts of an Iowa crowd, aud at 10:30 on the morn ing ol September 1, the Avery grove on the bank of Marys River echoed and re-echoed with the voices of merry making corn huskers lrom the great corn state At 11 o'clock a business ses sion was called by Chairman R.

The merchants of Portland are "up against it" again in the matter of their job printing, The Allied Printiag Trades Council, consisting of the unions of the compositors, pressmen and bookoiuders of that city, 'have issued a circular letter to the em ploying printers stating that they have decided to put in force an eight-hour day, while still main taining the present scale of wages adopted Jand based on a day o: nine hours. This means eight - hours woik for . nine hours pay, and the em ploying printers are registering their little kick, at what they term the palpable injustice of the proposition. ; '1 y .; " The Employing' Printers Asso ciation have published their pro test against this action on the part of the workmen, and claim that its enforcement will event ually put many firms out of busi ness. We quote from their let ter: . - . ' " . "The employing printers have bsen perfectly satisfied with the nine-hour-a day service, and have based all their price lists and con ditions of handling trade on that basis, but in the reduction of hours with increased rate of wages per hour it will necessarily cause an advance of prices which in a good many cases- will surely cause merchants to order else where. Even during the last few months, we are informed that merchants have been in corres pondence in regard ; to having Portland work done in , outside cities at cheaper rates than can be obtained here. Prices to cn sumers are based' upon cost, and these outside firms who have a lower rate of wages to pay and cheaper conditions under which to operate business, surely will get a good perceneage pf 'Port land's trade.'.' . Now. here is where this busi ness touches the merchants of CoryalJis; and Southern! Oregon The orice list of the .Franklin "Association of Portland, and j ( which has been in force for the last year, is based on present con ditions of labor and wages, and is strictly adhered to by Port land job printers. It is ;i just and leasonable scale, and matter which printer do?s'.'ur woik you pay the sime pr ce. Now to bring ttis que.-tion home to us and tee how it affects the merchants and advertiser of Corvallis. The Gazette Pub lishing Company is prepared to do all the printing wanted in this part of the state in Portland styles and at the old Portland prices. No matter what change s are to be made in the Portland price lists, we shall stick to the old tariff, and we are prepared to give better work and better value than has been known in this part of the state before. We have a printed copy of the old list, which our customers are in vited to examine. Portland prices for the future will be advanced, but the Ga zette's prices will remain the same. In us you will not only save the advanced cost, but you will also save the express charges for bringing the work to Cor vallis. When you have any printing to be done, bring it to us and get our figures; prices -tnat saow how much you can save, and still secure the very best services. Our motto is Portland styles at less than Portland prices'.
