Luther Burbank has not Been able to
grow "potatoes on peach trees" and
he has pot yet produced the "tasteless
gooseberry." Prof. , Adrian, who
lectured at Albany recently, has written
the Gazette-Times the, above, state
ments. - Neither has Mr. Burbank pro
duced the pruneless prune, a fruit
much desired by boarding houses. His
most wonderful, if not his greatest,
achievement is his production" of the
blackless blackberry;, they . are now
white on the Burbank farm.' Prof.,Ad-
nan says the great horticulturist "has
crossed the apple and blackberry," and
it is presumed that he gets a cobbler
out of this. ' ;"He has also crossed the
strawberry and blackberry,'' and this
has produced, a headache. The G.-T.
is an intense admirer of Mr. Burbank.
He has done very wonderful things of
great benefit to mankind. His spine
less cactus the transformation of the
useless product of the plains into suc-
I culent food is of incalculable value.
His production of three new species of
fruit, the ?' Plumcot,' Primus Berry"
and "Phenomenal Berry" entitled him
to highest recognition. But, most of
all, his genius entitles him to freedom
from such, fool friends as Prof Adrian
who write protests at jesting reference
to some of the wonderful and .peculiar
results Mr. Burbank has obtained.

is a prominent capitalist of "Nevada

I A piece of writing picked up on Main
street says: ,f'A young man in Bell
fountain recently : advertised in the
local papers for 'a woman to ' wash
iron and milk two cows. I'll marry
her." It is our impression that we
would not want to marry any girL able
to wash and iron even one cow.
The Red Cross stamp sale is assum
ing considerable proportions- here. C.
A. Gerhard sold $20 worth to , W. A.
Wells, and Graham & Wells, sav there

' 'pretty little jiggers' ' and. representing
what they do they look especially at
tractive: to those who delight,. in doing
good.
?r me democrat says Albany should
have a $15,000 Carnegie library. Cor
vallis should have a $25,000 Carnegie
library. Not that Corvallis people in
their reading are that far behind Al
bany, but for the. reason that we have
here a great many more young peo
ple who should be reading. The col
lege brings us 1000 young men and
women that Albany, has not. A city
that, will not provide a good library
'will not do much of anything worth
while. But if Corvallis will do some of
the other things now contemplated we
.can well wait a time for the library.

ligious publication, .which, carried with
it an?-agreement to insert a quarter
- pagom eastern, associate papers having

fAlbany to ifaake.a contract. From the!
result obtained from the expenditure of
that $100, Corvallis might better have
thrown the coin in the Willamette at j
flood time. Campbell presented the
most glowing proposition - imaginable,
but there is no evidence that his 1,035,
000 readers saw the page advertise
ment from Corvallis, clearly the most
attractive ad in the papers sent here.

"In Wyoming," Willar'd
Mack's stirring play of western
life, will be on view at the opera
house' ' Wednesday, Dec 122.
Some one has said that the . days
of the western: play : are num
bered. This may be true of the
many so-called : western plays,
with the- shooting, i exaggerated
characters, horse play and nonsense;-but
if ' the avidity with
which ' 'In Wyoming" has ' been
received in each ;of the cities it
has appeared in can be accepted
as any criterion,4 it isjsafe to , say
the knell of: the genuine typical
western play will not sound for
a long time yet In addition to
the sympathetic story it details,
there is a spirit , of ' naturalness
about the play which gives it an
added , appeal. The ; press in
nearby cities say the supporting
company give the, piece a1 ,very
jtood presentation and iring;out

The subject of this notice,
was born in Michigan, Nov. ; 14
1841, and his death occurred at
his residence near Oakville, Linn
Co. Ore. Dec. 4,' 1909, at the age
of 68 years and 21 rfnva w;0
parents ! removed to ' Wisconsin,
where they spent a few years.
and in J.849 crossed the , plains to
Oregon, settling first in Marion
county where several years were
spent, when he removed to Tilla
mook county, and later to Polk.
and finally to Linn county, about
1880, where he resided until his
death. - At the age of 21 he
entered the army serving his
country .faithfully for ' th
years. ' In 1865, March 19, he
was married to Miss Cynthia Ai
Qoodell, who survives him. To
them were born six children,'
two daughters and four sons,
who were all present at the time
of his death. Their names are ;
Mrs. Charlotte E. Pugh, Mrs.!
Ella M. Brown, Wesley S, Lin
coln; Frank M.. and Ira St. John.
Besides the wife. and children:
three . sisters and one - brothpr
are left to mourn his. loss. I
Mr. St John was a member of
the. Willamette U.. P. congrega
tion.-"':
.Very few of the pioneers of
'49 are left in this community. I
and very f ew of the old army'
men still survive. But two men!
were found to plant the flags at;
his grave and pay the last silent
tribute in honor of a departed
comrade.
Mr. - St. John was a auietl
peaceful, upright man and citizen. '
a kind and loving husband and
tather. A large circle of friends
sympathize with the bereaved 1
family. I
