The major ity of the fields do not appear to be seriously injured, but in the lower part of the valley there are many pieces of wheat which, appear to be nearly killed out. The alternate freezing and thawing while the ground was V6ry wet, did the mis chief. The regeneration of the fruit growing industry in the Willamette Valley bas commenced in earnest The symptoms of it are found every wnere. It was f oared tbat the great wave of interest which swept over tbe valley a year ago would be temporary, but, on the contrary tnere is a much more wide-spread interest shown this year than last It is now becoming popular to ad vocate the destruction of neglected orchards which are not worth clean ing up and renewing. Agricultur ist. A party in from Brownsville Sat urday told of the damage wrought there by the high water. The dam, he said, is washed out, thus cutting cff the power for electric lights, city water works, mills, and other in dustries, and leaving the town with out are protection.

A number of OAC men are hard at practice in the cross country run, the event that occurs annually at O - C in the sporting stunts and for which gold medals are offered.

Dr. James Withycombe and Prof. Bradley of OAC participated in a farmers' institute at Dufur, Eastern Oregon, last week, concerning which The Dalles Optimist makes com ment: "Tbe Farmers' Institute, which was hld in Dufur on Wed nesday and Thursday of last week, rnder the auspices of the R meey Grange, was very largely attended and was one of great educational benefit to the farmers. Several pro fessors from the Agricultural Coll-g at C.jrvstliis were presen , and a synop is of their lectures would no doubt be very interestin , and of great benefit to our readers, but space forbids." F. C. Ross, son of Sheriff Ross of Lincoln county, was in Corvallis Friday from his home in Lodi, Cal., en route to Toledo to visit his par ents. Mr. Ross returns after an absence of three years.

The largest crowd of the season was in attendance, quite a delegation of Roseburg people hav ing accompanied their team on the trip. The score was 38 to 7 in favor of OAC. There is genera' discussion of the present high prices for necessities. Nothing like it has been known hereabouts, and people cannot ac custom themselves ti the condition. Where there is a corresponding increase in wages there is not so much ground for complaint, but for the person who gets no "raise" to meet the demands of the butcher, the baker, and the candle stick ma ker, it begins to look pretty "blue." Colonel and Mrs. Smith of Prineville have arrived aDd are guests at the home of Mrs. Smith's sister, Mrs. J. W. How ard in this city, Wheii Mr. and Mrs. Smith left Prineville they ware obliged to drive to The Dalles to take a train, on accoupt of the breaks in the train service in that section which have occurred of late.

Tom Alexander of Kings Valley was a Corvallis business visitor Saturday. Deputy Wells has met with some strange experiences the past week in at tempting to straighten up the tangled web of affairs left by O. Rogoway, the missing furniture dealer. When the gentleman 'from McMinnville came to Corvallis and attempted to run opposition to two firmly established and splendidly equipped furniture establishments he evidently left behind him all ideas of honesty and square dealing, if he ever possessed any, and the few trusting peo ple of this city who left the old and pat ronized the new firm were not given ore lit on the books of the proprietor, for in almost every case where Deputy Wells has gone to collect accounts that are marked unpaid on the books, the people have produced receipts to show that they paid cash for their purchases. Bat Mr. Rogoway has the cash, tbe books are in a muddle, and Mr. Rogoway'a where abouts are unknown. All of which makes Deputy Wells "exceedinglyl wroth." A little s m of Mr. and Mrs. Ole Paul son died at the family home Friday eve ning of pneumonia. The little one was aged about IS months. The parents have the sympathy ot all in their sorrow. i S. L.
