Avers, of LoaUUna, Mo., and a boyhood acquaintance of Judge Burnett, of Corvallis, came to Portland a few weeks ago with his family with the intention of making that city hi future home. He writes to his home paper thus: "Our opportunities for observations of Oregon, its climate, soil, inducements to homeseerer. eh:., are of a neoesnuv lim ited by reason of our short stay herv.and hatever impression we may have re ceived may be given subject to change. however. "Our honest opinion is that Oregon. alreadv a irreat slab ia dMrtinnl li nm day take first rank among the galaxy of the great states ol this anion, and this some day we do not think or believe to be in the remote future, either. The in urement it oHer to homeseKer in gen eral and to farmer in particular, are not equaled by an other state or territoiy, climate and soil considered. The re sources of this state are simply wonder- nil. v e are delighted with everything we have seen concerning this Mate, and are in love with it already. The people everywhere have given us kindly greet ing ana extended to us a ronlial welcome. in conclusion, let me aay we think we have made no mistake in coming out here, and as we feel at present, could not be induced to return to our old home. Our only regret is that we did not come hen we were years younger. Mrs. W. S. Toole returned this noon from Portland. Prof. E. U. Hedrick and!Mi Pluni- mer were married in Corvallis yesterday.

The circuit judgo conjest at Salem has developed in to a muddle ot the worst kind, and there are now charges and countercharges ot fraud. An attorney, friendly to Mr. D'Arcy, said that he .was either elected or some one had committed felonies a gainst the ballot law and ought to go the penitentiary. On the other hand Judge Boise and his counsed charge that talley sheets were unlawfuly obtained from the judges of Butteville, Monitor and Mt.

The rotui between Albany and Corval lis, along the west side, is divided into two road districts. Of the one nearer Albany Mr, Henry Hector is supervisor. This road has ever been wretched dur ing the winter season. The only possi ble way to improve it at any reasonable expense ia to gravel it To do this would ihko years with the ordinary levy made for road purposes. Mr. Hector thought it best to attempt to accomplish an extra amount in one season so that an interest might be Awakened in the matter. of giving more time and labor to maintain ing better roads. He began by solicit ing volnnteet help of the farmers in the way of teams. Then, after securing a liberal force in this way, he approached the Albany merchants for a cash dona tion to pay shovellers. They responded to the extent of sixty dollars and the re sult of this combined effort will be that a fairly passable road to Albany will be made this season and much of the trade, from the vicinity of Granger, which has been coming U Corvallis during the inter season, will now go to Albany. Corvallis may well take a leamn (ram this move on the part of Albany mer chants. Should Albany continue this line of work it will only be a few years till she will have at least the winter trade of all the north end of the county. The good road movement has come to stay and lliose localities that take np the work first are bound to get the cream of the results which flow from such work. Tub Moxmoitm School.

Deserved Compliments. From the Time. " " One of the brightest events of com mencement week was the entertainment fiven Tuesday night by the elecntionary epartment. under direction of Prof. Helen Crawford, assisted by Mis Ellis. The program included the rendition of "Theseua" a mythological play in five acts, which freouently introduced a cho rus of thirty five voices. Further feat- were s spectacular drill entitled "The A masons ' and a temple drill by nine vestal virgins, both of which surpassed anything yet 84ea ia Corvallis. . In, ad dition to the above there were duets, rec itations and other interesting features. The entertainmenl was given in ihe op- i i .i i . i : l era uouse ana tne Duuaing wma jauiorcu from cellar to carret. The entertain rnent reflected great credit upon all who were connected with it, particularly Prof. Helen Crawford and Miss Ellis, to whose painstaking work much of the success is due. In fact, since the establishment of the elocutionary department and the advent of Mis Crawford at the college S here has been a marked improvement in all public, appearances made oy- tne. stu dents of the college. The orations, reel- trtions all had this commencement about them an air of finish and deliaery far su perior to the work of the old days, matter tnat has been the subject of re mark many times during tho past week.

Then there was a great crowd of people at fbe Albany depot. Ten car were in readiness for departure to Lebanon, and perhaps 600 free-silver-ite and anti-free-ilverite were attxkm" to hear the great apostle of free-silverism. Before the train started sad while oa it way there waa a constant bum of voice. Last Wednesday there waa no crowd st the depot, and no scrambling for seats in tbe car. There were nine of us st tbe outset, two women and seven men. At first not a word wa ipobea by any of us, and no due could have told that we were not all mutes, if be bad not put us to the test- When we were near Tall man, the silease wss broken but not by the orig inal nine. The train stopped for no ap parent reason, but there was on. Tvoe women came aboard. They evidently had not seen each other for some time and felt that they could not lose a mom ent. Then there were tea mates aetil we were near Lebanon, when one man called the attention of another to some thing outside perhaps a fine field of wheat. This wa tbe only instance in which aay of tbe pissengers exeeot one. seemed to take aay interest ia the part of Willamette valley through which thev were passing. Test exception had once oeen a farmer and bad not lost all bis in terest la farming. I think it ia quite proosoie mat some of the farmers would not nave leit complimented, if my tnougnu bad been pot into words ia thetr presence. Two field were sdioi ing each other, or they were oa opposite idee of tbe railroad. . In one field was a good crop of clean and beautiful wheat In the other wss sa inferior crop, of wheat, cheat tad oats, with some uncer tainty about tbe grain sowa ia eocni part of the field. Theeaua of this dif lereote is a natural ina airv. The field were close together, end tbe cause of the amereaee could not have been in the sod. it i reaaooaoie. therefore, to suppose toat wa ia tne larmers. Una bad evidently cultivated bis land well sad sowed gook dean eeed The other had evidently scratched the groand with a woraont plow aad sowed tares among n wneu. neaca tne oanereaee. There wa also s difference in tbe ao- pearaace ot tbe field of oats, la sojm theie wss s fine eron already well heaul. ed. Ia others tne blades or stock were not much more than aix inches in beirhi and "looked a if they were going to sit and shoot," as some one has put iu The diCerence in this cas was perhaps the result of earlier aad later towing; sad thi may have been doe to the nature of tbe aoii where the field were not adjac ent. I will leave the explanation to the farmers if they think one is needed. at etiiod of larmiog have changed antes I wa a boy-farmer: bat I cannot resist the conviction that all the farmiag be tween Albany aad Sodaville is not first class. My private ooisioa is. that some of tne farmer would get betUr returns, u tney cultivated fewer acres aad did first-class farming. But thi ia a di- greaeion, aa Demosthenes would say, aad perhaps some of tbe farmers will aay ia regard, to lite matter : MYoudoaotkaow bait as aoch as you think you do." 1 will therefore bring my scribiement to a punctum tan a, for tbe present.
