This is the statement of AL J. Johnson, who is among the local buyers, t It is known also from farmers that they have receiv ed the same figure from other local dealers. There is good authority for the statement that a considerable portion of the coming clip is ' .al ready contracted at prices ranging from 22 to 25 cents. One pool of 12,000 pounds was engaged by one dealer at 25 cents Wednesday. It is figured out that 70,000 pounds, 80,000 pounds or even possibly 90,000 to 100,000 pounds of this year's clip is all ready bargained for by local dealers. The condi tion has reached such a stage that many growers have gone to shear ing in order to take advantage of the'present lofty prices. It is claim ed by buyers that the whole clip will be sheared, sold and delivered at least a month in advance of the usual time. s - .Not only Is the price high, but the fleeces are declared to be un usually heavy. The open charact er of the winter, the great acreage of thrifty wheat fields on which the sheep pastured and other favorable conditions, served to make the sheep thrifty and strong, the latter of which is something of an incid ent in the early shearing. Of the fleeces that have already been de livered, dealers say they are unus ually heavy. The present figures are the high est in 23 years. That is the state ment of a dealer who has been in the business all that time. Twice the market rose to 23 , cents, but the present is the highest notch touched by wool since 1882. It is all yeryline for the farmers, and what is fine for them is fine for everybody else. The wool, the hops, the fruit, the grain, in the latter of which there is an enormous acreage, and the general round of good prices, will put more money in -Benton county this autumn than there has been in many long years. The local quotations for wool are said to be a half, if not a full cent above what markets abroad justify, and are due to local competition. The Corvallis price is declared to be half a cent above the price in any other town in the -Valleyv TO HOUSE IT. Benton Exhibit at Lewis and dark " Building it Now. The fixtures for the booth that will house the Benton county ex hibit at the Lewis and Clark Fair, are now in course of construction in this city. The contract has been let to Norton Adams, an experienc ed man in such work, who is per sonally engaged in preparing the parts of the wood that will be used in the furniture. One part, of the booth will be occupied by a .fruit stand, octagonal in shape and four sections in height. At the base this stand is seven feet in diameter, and there are eight compartments for fruit exhibits, The wood is of fir. artistically dressed. The work that will attract atten tion however, is the folding section al counter, 20 x 26 feet, faced on the front with panels of many dif ferent woods of Benton county growth. Among the woods secur ed for this purpose is a cut of Ben ton grown walnut 28 inches in diameter; a cut from a pear tree measures 12 inches in diameter, and a cut of alder is 16 inches wide. Besides these there are panels of curly maple, oak, ash, and other woods. .; All these panels are hand dressed and beautifully polished. ; Mr. Adams is to have the job completed by the 6th , or 7th or 8th of May, and he .will go to Portlaud and place the booth in' position at the fair grounds, in the space al loted for the Benton county ex hibit. The booth must " be ready for the exhibit by May 10th. For Sale. A lot of empty wine barrels, dif ferent sizes. Enquire of Otto Woldt. Wanted. Setting hens.

Corvallis, Or. WHEtf THEY MEET. There will be Such Sprinting as the ' . Willamette Valley Never Saw. The information is that there is that there is going to be wide inter est in the sprinting events to take place on OAC field next Saturday, when in the dual ' meet between Columbia University and OAC, Kelly, the pehnomenal sprinter of the Catholic Collage, will" go against Williams and Smithsbn, the well known OAC fast men. The three are unquestionably the fastest trio in the state, probably the fastest in the Northwest, and there is a pos sibility that among ' them there is one or more that has in him as great speed as has any man in the world. Smithson has" already a record of 10 flat in the 100 yard dash, and has tied the world's indoor record in the fifty. Kelly has beaten him in the fifty, and he has a victory over Kelly in the same event. It is fully known by Dir ector Trine that Williams , has speed in all events that has never been developed, because never- so far, needed. It is but rarely that three men so swift are contestants in so many sprints, with a certainty that the outcome will be doubtful until the men dash under the tape in eadh. Kelly is unquestionably one of the greatest sprinters in the world, but put at . the college, the students claim they have men who can best him. There is wide inter est, even in neighboring towns and throughout .the country precincts in this first appearance of Kelly, and the prospects flattering for' a crowd worthy of the occasion.
