Last Monday morning active operations
were begun in preparing for the erection of
a new livery stuMe ou the lots formerly
owned by Sol. King but lately purchased by
Messrs Montgomery & Bogue. The build

wall, substantial and hist class in all re

completed enough to begin business in a
few weeks. The firm consists of Mr. R. M.
Montgomery and J. S. Bogue. Mr. Mont
gomery and family have taken up their
residence in our city, and the building is
superintended by Mr. Montgomery him
self. Mr. Bogue has not yet movsd to Cor

Thoroughbred Stock'
Major James Bruce and (i. B. Smith re

twenty head of the thoroughbred Angus
cattle, consisting of one, two and three year

lis, Indiana, in good condition. Three of
largest throe-year-olds were weighed and
tipped the beam at 1630, 1620 and 1598
pounds respectively. They are pronounced
by stock men the bet breed of cattle for
beef in the state, and their importation will
no doubt prove a profitable investment to
their owners.

TO MAUD.
rFrom her Aunt Polly.
My dear niece: With sincere affection
I address you. You were tenderly raised
and oared for, and provided with the neces
sary girlhood drill to insure a brilliant suc
cess. I assure you I am more than pleased
to see you gaining it. Nature has endowed
you with iitorary ability, when developed,
will brilliantly outshine "the most deserv
edly popular" Gail Hamilton. Yon are
very fascinating, and it grieves me much to
see you bidding for the fond attention of
that modest young man of whose embraces
you spoke iast week, , but if he is your
affiii iiiied, all well aud good, for no nobler
young man ever walked the streets of Co
vallis thau B. W. Now.dear Maud, you know
the great interest I feel in you, and while it
pleases me to see you display "the most
deser edly popular" expressions and society
notes, it mortifiitf? me equally ai' much to
notice your biddings to young men. .
Nature has given you a wonderful phy
sique plump in form and nimbi as an
aspen leaf, mortest in mahifer and as gentle
as a dove, fastidious in manner and sweet as
ajstrawberry, fair in complexion and lengthy
as a crane. Now, dear Maud, cease to be
the yonng nYan's evil genius, that you are.
I am happy to observe your advent into
politics. Yonr success is assured. I am
tilled with family pride, tor I know you will
show to the world that you are "the most
deservedly popular" of the popular. Should
you at any time be in need of funds to car
ry on your enterprise, cheek on
Your affectionate Auntie,
Polly.
Monroe Musings-
Monroe, April 12th, 1885.
The heavy rainfall of last night has re
stored to us Oregon's primitive beauty; it
surely must be a sad heart that cannot find
a cheerful solace this Sabbath day, and then
that church-going bell, how sweetly it car
ries us upward to purer, nobler and higher
thoughts'.
We have again to record another death
from consumption. Mr. Brin, a graud-son
of C. H. Starr, of this place, died last Fri
day night; a young man just stepping into
manhood, but the Boatman came and car
ried him on to the f- rther shore.
There was two small panthers killed last
evening on the hill west of town. It is
strange what brings those prowling fellows
from their mountain retreats.'
vVe now feel an assurance of a fine crop
of fruit as the bloom is fully sheltered by
the foliage. We soon expect to report ripe
straw berri3. Data.

"The Siletz reservation contains 225,'JOO
acres with a population of 637 Indians, who
are quite intelligent and much disposed to
break up tribal relations and to have land
in severalty. Tnay complain that whilst
they are held in subjection, and obliged to
ask permission to travel from home, they
never can become advanced; tiiat they have
no rights .'.ud 110 citizenship, which repress
es ambiuoii to compete v. un the white
people. They cultivate tatfd to the best of
their ability, but want land in individual

farm is one of the moat beautiful and fer
tile tracts of a thousand acres to be found

abundant, and the establishment should be

fruit and vegetables. Although coming a
distance of about 4000 miles at this very
late season of the year, the latter days of
March, it is in very good condition, which
fact speaks volumes for the "keeping" qual
ities of the products of Oregon. The apples
are of the varieties that ripen in the fall and
winter in that state. The pears are of late
kinds, and are a very fine and a very tempt
ing fruit. The Irish potato display has also
been increased by several varieties of large
and beautiful specimens of this vegetable,
a number of which weigh five pounds ami
are tnirteeu inches loug. Therr ig no denv-
iug the stat amen that Oregon has one of
the best displays of fresh fruit and vege
tables now ou exhibition it tle exposition.
In additiou to the above, the commissioner
of mines, yes.erday opened five boxes of
ores, 'omprising gold, silver, copper, iroa
and cinnibar, the richness of which shonl I
attract the attention of mining men. There
are several thousand pounds of rich ores o,i
the way that may be expected to arrive' at
any time, besides an additional car load of
the varied products of the state.
Advertising.
The object of an advertisement is to bring
business to attract customers. One would
suppose that this was a self-evident propo
sition that only needed to be stated to have
its truth perceived. Yet, if we look upon
the conduct of business men generally we
see they act upon a converse rule. In doll
seasons when merchants are doing little the
time to advertise presents stself. But busi
ness men generally at such seasons discon
tinue the advertisemauts they have and say,
' shall advertise in the busy season when
mess revives. there is nothiug (torn ;
now, so we cant attord it. When the b.oy
se ison comes and they are doing all the bu -loess
their facilities permit them to do t'. y
advertise, At such time advertkine d
them no special goo 1. But they feck -.ui
printer at men seasons a-rd, no other.
The sole object of an advertisement is !o
solicit business. Purchasers can be -rttra.' !-
ed, woed, won. Men are at all times will
ing to buy, but there are occasions w' u
they ninst he templed to ' so. These ..m
the times when business is dull. The wi -cj
m.rcii.iiit at such seasons does not diso.,i
tinue his advertising on the contrary, '-a
i creases it. J He devises new methods of
doing so and reaps the reward according
ly. There are a (ew houses in this ci.v
hat acton this rule, arid the consequence
is that they never know what dull tioiv-s
are. They are al vay s crowded al w : si
busv. Tiere are other booses viho adver
tise only when during these rare seas"'j
when business is naturally brisk. The vu
sequence is they prai-.tici-.lly throw away
their money. Ail the rWt of the0 year thv
move aioug iu slow, hnin-driim style, ft
seems stn-'ige to us that intelligent m -r-chant?
do not lerceive the truth of the a
iom tiitt the time to advertise the tim : i o
solicit business, is when business is dull.
