Thps-Rtite board of immigration rep resents that 3,500,000 acres of land re mains unclaimed in tire Willamette counties and the coast counties adjoin ing. Lest tliis statement should be misleading it is well to state that the . area of these counties embraces to the Cascade summits on the east and the ocean on the west, so this real estate must ' be most of it mountainous. There is a grpnt deal of good land in Hie Const range that will bo in time nettled upon and improved, and the name is true, though in a less degree, f the Cascade range. Three-fourths of this range is on the .west, as the eastern uplands breast up against those mountains 3,000 to 4,000 feet in alti tude above Willamette levels. The pastern acclivities are therefore much taster surmounted and not over one tliird the distance is traversed to reach the summit from the east as from the west. It is a two days' journey through mountains to reach Crater lake from the west, while from Klam ath plains one can ride to the lake in a three hours and gallop most of the way. The route of the Oregon Pacific lies through a beautiful mountain basin not less than twenty-miles square. It is shut in a narrow canyon where the North Santiam debouches upon the valley, widening out gradually towards the foot of Mount Jefferson. Mr. Minto says in time this mountain region will he all occupied, and is large enough to make a county by itselt. It is billy or rolling And lies in both Linn and Marion counties. Oregon iaa. 0E of the measures passed by the last Oregon legislature is the Layman high license law. It required all saloon proprietors in unincorporated towns to first secure the signatures of an actual majority of the whole number of voters Jn the precinct where" he wishes to con duct such a business; he must pay $100 for a license annually, and must keep his place of business closed on Sunday. It requires the grand jury to inquire into all matters when there is the least violations of the act and re- turn bills of indictment against the same, and it also requires the sheriffs, constables and justices of the peace to enforce the law to its fullest extent. This new law is a deadener to a large number of saloons, in small country towns, and of course will reduce the Dumber of such hell-holes. Already some saloons have closed up on its ac count, and if the proper authorities at tend to their duties in this thing the effect will be better than all the prohi bition yoo could scare up. A board of trade is a great benefit to a city. An attempt is being made to organize one in Corvallis. It is hoped it will amount to more than an "attempt" A few months ago a meet ing of citizens was called for the pur pose 'of organizing such a board, and when the hour arrived for such work, two citizens of the city were found to be present. This time, the enterprising citizen and grocer, Ralston Cox,- is working up this matter and already has quite a number of names of the citizens of the city who are in fkvorf such an organization. Mr. Cox would make a splendid president for this There is plenty of "public enter prise" in Corvallis, but what is needed to make a city of this size lively and full of business is to have some .of its moneyed men put a little of their hard Ciish into buildings that will return them large interest on what has been invested and also at the same tim e help. to make the place more attrac tive. Instead of their being rows of shabby looking wooden buildings standing cat .Main streei for business houses there should be briek structures of at least two stories. Every room in them would be rented.. Let's have a little -private enterprise. TWe latest report of . a real estate boom comes from ancient Rome. It is said that within the last twenty years 3,600 houses have been, erected in the Imperial city.. rESCIUNGS. Since my last chips from th pencil, Ijun happy to say that Ireland's great day has passed St. Patrick's day T . 1 . ft - - ii was last ftiiiitiay. Ul course, you know about this saiut, and that his name was Patrick; there is one good trait aVout him that every person doesn't possess he had a short - name. wnen ne wrote articles lor newspapers it didn't require an extra page on which to put his signature for he could sign it just a simple little "Pat" and they all knew who he was, and yet they didn't. I'll bet that he and Pigott have met by this time that is providing Pigott went to the same place that Pat did. They are both dead. Patrick died in 493, and Pig died in 1889; according to this, quite a number of years came and disappeared between the death of the former and that of the latter. St. Patrick was of some ac count in his days, he was death on snakes. He differs considerably from tha average man of this year, it s the snakes that are the controllers now and generally drive a man to death. If you want to think about, Pat just look at an Albany girl for, as has been said before, they are slightly treon; but don't look at me. A few days ago a lawyer called my attention to the fact that most people called the statue on the new court house the "goddess of liberty," and said that it was the goodess of "jus tice." I had not thought much about the matter, but concluded that at that moment I was not at liberty to ex press my views. It is but justice to this Ulackstoner to say that he told the exact truth. There are some very peculiar things in this world especially about Cor vallis. One.thing that I have noticed is the curious phenomenon on the campus of the agricultural college. At times a L:ike is visible to the eye, and suddenly it becomes lost from sight; and, while you are wondering what has caused it to vanish so quickly, it appears on another portion of the grounds. Hsre is a subject for deep reflection. In connection with this college busi ness, I notice that there are quite a number of young ladies attending school there now. . I am told they are compelled to work in the green house. It is a shame, I think, for the dear girls of the present day are not inter ested very much in this flower-garden matter. They would rather blossom out with a new dress or hat and per ambulate the thoroughfares of the city with a nice young fellow, or beat .1. . . . me sonorous tones out oi a piano, or chew gum with other beings of their sex. Not long ago I had the pleasure of hearing an, account of the way Josh Billings rose as a humorist I heaid it from a party who was once acquainted with hiin. Josh began. by writing for a paper in a small New York town, and so feeble were his first efforts that the readers of the paper used to wonder why the editor published such stuff. He continued in this rut for years be fore he wrote anything which the world laughed at, except in derision, -but in the end the patient toil and practice had its reward. One day he wrote a short article beginning: "I have waited forty years for the coming of the mil lennium, and still , butter is selling at twenty-five cents . a Kund.w - The world which has always a longing for paradise'and for butter laughed at this sally, the New York city papers copied it, and josh Billings' fortune was made, j He was tanked thereafter as one of the great humorists of the country. He then set out to lecture on the strength of his reputation, but for a long time he was a most lugubrious failure and his audiences never devia ted from the solemn decorum which would have been so proper at a funeral, but which was extremely distressing at a funny man's lecture. Billings, however, was not despondent. He persisted in lecturing and at last managed to deliver an address on "Putty and Varnish," which tickled the popular fancy in the fifth rib and set the risible nerves in motion. Since that time his career has been known to all the world. Just think and see what persistence can achieve. There is still some chanee-for the Wizard oil concert sompany to succeed in orig inating a live-joke...: I attended what I supposed was a "revival" meeting at a certain church in this city one night this week, and I have come to the conclusion that you can't always tell a thing by its name; it would have been more proper to have called it a "melancholy" meeting There was not one in the house but what looked so religious that their faces resembled a huge unripe water melon. "Now this is a curious com parison, but remember that the out side of such a melon always appear nice but when you reach the heart it is no good. Then, again, it must be properly named for it requires a great deal of reviving to go there the second time. No doubt everyone knows that there is no healthier place in Oregon to live in than right here in Corvallis. I had this impressed upon my mind in a peculiar manner not lone azo. Dui ins the nice warm days that were upon us a nhnrf tim dr. T hA o r5. to see me. After walking around over the city I proposed that we go out to the Crystal lake cemetery; we did. After walking, around and inspecting the few tombs that are standing in this place, and as we were just pre paring to return to the city, my friend said: "You must have the healthiest city on the Pacific coast if that's the best grave yard you can keep up." . The temperance people have all boycotted a certain gun store in this city because "bier" is kept in it. I don't see what objection they can raise to that for I know it has no foam on it. The photographic art is a great and wonderful thing. There are all kinds, sizes, Rhapes and colors of photographs made nowadays but an artist in Cor vallis has studied the art down to such a fine point that he is now able to furnish you Graham photos. I have lived in this city for quiie a awhile, i have watched its progress in the days gone by, and I have oc casionally looked upon the fair bel's not belles, I never look at them, I. do as I have noticed others, gaze at thm. But about this "bell" matter, as I was going to remark, did you ever notice that it was only a little more expensive to place neat, shapely looking steeples on places of religious worship, than to put up a bnsiness which looks like a chalk box in which to place these "notifiere of church time." There are six church buildings 111 this city, and only two of them have their spires , ,. , . . erected in proportion to the size of the 1 ' - building. Of COUrse this Steeple and bell business has bufverv little to do with one's religion, and still they do were it not for the hells some people would forget about church entirely. A nice church building is an adorn ment to any city, and a neat spire is 1 great improvement to any church. I hope that whep the new Episcopal church is erected that the trustees wili se that it is supplied with such a spire as will elevate its appearance instead of flattening it There is one thing that is needed in this city of Corvallis, and I think it is needed badly, too. Why can't one of our livery staMe men add a nice "cab" to their list of conveyances.. Would not one of these cubs, kept in clean or der, pay in a place as large as Corval lis? I think it would. Albany has two or three, and they seem to get their share of lucre. A cab lends its mite towards making a city look, as though there was some style in it Both depots are quite a distance from the center of the city and many a tiaveler would ride had he any me ms like this in which to do so; then a cab could be brought into use at funerals, weddings, parties, etc., couldn't it! No, I ask what say you, livery-ment Put a cabin your line of business; help give a little more dignified appearance to Corvallis. - Dont run those . hotel hacks when such a thing as a cab will oe ueiier anu neater. . - A o X nua nmnflr r-K tm . . . . i . 0 0 .

The kerosene used in Dakota freezes solid at seven degrees be low zero, and it is as much a part of the household work to melt a cake of kerosene as it is to wash the dishes or sweep" the floor. A gas well, estimated to have a capacity of 10,000,000 feet, was struck in the heart of the city of Lancaster, O., Saturday morning February 16th. Polk county comes to the front again with another murder At Eola, below Independence, O. P. Beardsley shot and killed T. L. Perryman. They are both residents of that village and have been having trouble of late. Some months ago they became mixed up in a row and Perryman hit Beards ley on the head with a monkey-wrench; for this he was fined $200. Beardsley has played even, but it will, very likely, prove to be n very costly play. This will be about the programme a trial, sentenced to be hanged; new trial asked for, granted; second trial held, and probably go to the penitentiary for life; stay there a number of years, finally be pardon. Ik speaking about the "solid south" a writer says: "America does not want any solid sections arrayed against Hny other section. The blood of her !sons slain in fratricidal, war has long been absorbed by the soil upon which it was shed. The bloody shirt should never wave in any part of her territory. She wants and must have unity, peace and co-operative industry, and free political expression at the ballot-box. Then we could bid defiance to all the despotisms of the worldand work out a destiny which jien ennnot describe or poet dream." Florida is making a vigorous effort to keep the yellow fever away from its people this vsar. The former infected districts are to be thoroughly cleansed and purged and fumigated and all possible lurking places for the germs of the dread disease destroved. In the city of New York there are 9,000 licensed liquor saloons, over 1,500 unlicensed, and 700 gambling saloons. There are 435 churches in the city, and in the state there are four state prisons.
