GOOD OLD BENTON. It is said that "self praise is half scandal." If such be true we are going to scandalize our selves for we propose to touch on a few of our good points. Lit us state first of all that the lare majority of those born within the bounds of Benton re main here happily and are loath to leave. Following this thought we will say that nearly all who come here from the East are sat Uaii to remain. It may be pointed out that a large major ity of the few who came here from the East in past years and were dissatisfied and returned to their old haunts, later turned their faces westward and are many of them once again domicil ed in Benton. This tells a story most eloquent. Why snould it not be true? We . ;ve the finest soil, wood in abundance, ahd the purest of water. The summers here lack that excessive heat which is al most unbearable in the eastern and middle-western states. In comparison with the East our winters are a dream. There is mt a day in the year when one's life is endangered by remaining outdoors all day. A man may be uncomfortable nothing more. He vill not freeze to death. There are yet many acres of land to be purchased at a reason able price in Benton county. The land is productive and in the way of diversified farming hold;; out great inducements to a pros pective locater. The dairy busi ness is destined to become the greatest of all industries in this county. It is but a few years since all Benton could boast was a little "family bu..ter." Now it is diirerent. we nave two splendid cream eries in Corvallis.' During the past year business has increased so much that both creameries have been compelled to enlarge their plants within the past two months. And yet this business is in its infancy scarcely beyond conception. And mere are many uuier promising neius awaiting those who are yet to come among us and bring with them a little capital and abun dant capital, confidence and energy. No man of a family need feel alarmed over the problem of education for his children should he locate in this county. This matter is solved for him for all time to come. No county can boast better public schools than we have. Philomath has well-known colleges and for years has been especially active in educational work. In Corval lis we have most excellent grad ed schools, with high school ap pended. Here is located the Oregon Agricultural College, the pride of the entire state. It is the largest educational institution in Oregon and has a generous en dowment from the tederai gov ernment, besides beingjliberally provided for by the state. This institution is situated adjoining the City of Corvallis, has an ad mirable campus, of ample dimeri' sions, many large, handsome buildings, boys' and girls' dor mitories, as well as a fine farm attached. It is both a college for higher education and a school of industry. Many things are yet to be born to Benton in the'way of industry and general advancement. It will be a case of "first come, first served," so clamber into the Benton county bandwagon. There are also worms here for the early birds. JUST A SUGGESTION. For Petty "Qrafters" About Town Pranks Done. Petty thievery seems o be the life a misery to manv an inhab itant. Putting anything in the line of edibles out on the back porch for safe keeping has come to he a regular Jack-in-the-box performance, for it is a case of "now you see it now you don't." The story is .that recently a nice fat turkey was put in a barn on Third street, awaiting the ax that was to render him fit for a sumptuous dinner. The owners were congratulating themselves on what a fine spread they would uave, but upon going to the barn next morning turkey, ccop aud all had disappeared and along with it a half bushel of apples. Another evening D. A. Os- buin, the happy looking night! watch of this city and his estima ble wife were to entertain friends. David came down town, pur chased the ntcessary amount of ice cream, borrowed a new, shin ing tin pail to take it home in and placed the dainty on the back porch to keep cool. At the proper time the ice cream was called for to be served, but a frantic search failed to reveal cither cream or pail. Mr. ()- hurn declared that he would nave cared nothing for the cream f he had not bad to pay for the pail. A wheel barrow disappeared from J. R. Smith's on the same evening that the turkey aud ap pies were appropriated at the Third street home. A few evenings ago a large painting valutd at $2; and used as an advertisement by the glass blowers who visited Corvallis iast week was "swiped" from the opera house by unknown parties, and some one also hull ed a rock through a window at t'ue M. L. Earnest home about the same time in the week. These happenings are becom ing tar too common to be funny. If there is any right minded per son who can call petty th'vrry by the name of sport we fail to ste it from their point of view. "As a twie is beat so's the tree inclined" and the young boys who fall into such habits in the name of fun and trolic are taking desperate chances of run ning up against something that may sound line "fines" and "dis grace ." Governor at Philomath. Governor Chamberlain deliver ed an address, Thursday night, before the Philomath college fac ulty and students, taking as his suVjfet, "Modern Legislation and Legislators." A dispatch from Philomath says: "He sharp ly criticised the late legislature lor its failure to provide new sources of revenue to meet the larger apropiiations passed at the session. The tax commission bill was pointed out as a particu lar measure that would have largely counterbalanced the large figures of the appropriation bills. The growth in Oregon of the spirit for the exercise of larger powers by the people in govern ment was cited as an effect of ab surb legislative powers, and was commended as a vindication of the contentions of Thomas Jeffer son. At the conclusion of his ad dress the governor was presented with a handsome oil painting, the work of the art teacher in Philomath college, and the gift of the faculty and students. The presentation speech was made by Professor White of the college, and the gift was grace fully acknowledged by the exec utive. Real Estate Transfers.
