about her doing even that.

TO OWNERS OF REAL ESTATE.
We, the undersigned, doing a legitimate
bnsiness as real estate brokers with estab
lished offices in the city, . would cautiou
owuers of property, aud especially those
having good business property for sale,
against bonding the same to irresponsible
parties who under pretense of being able to
effect a sale, upon the payment of a few
dollars, get control of property with the
expectation of compelling buyers to p-iy
them a handsome bonus, and, as these
sharks do not hesitate to ask a big advance,
persons who would invest aud help build
up our city are driven away, and sales pre
vented. These curbstone brokers, whose
offices are nowhere and capital nothing,
never spend a cent for advancing the coun
try but, the moment real estate becomes
active, swoop down vulture-like, seeking
whom they may devour; no less than two
important sales have been prevented iu this
manner the past week.
The legitimate real estate brokers of this
city, in common with all our business men,
are interested in the growth and prosperity
of our city, and are working in harmony
and expending much money and time to
bring a desirable class of investors to this
section. There is no doubt there will be a
great demand for property in this section
and those wishing to sell would save their
own interests by placing the same at reason,
able prices, and paying legitimate dealers
'the usual commission of 5 percent, thereby
insuring prompt and satisfactory results,
rathes than, for a few dollars, putting valu
able property in the hands of sharks who,
in an attempt to get the whole hog, drive
capital frojn us. "

, From Baker City. J. P. Faull,
E. H. Mix, C. F. Hyde, T. F.
Campbell, and M. L. Ticbner, a
committee of five from the Baker
City board of trade, arrived in this
city by Tuesday's noon train, and
were received by hve of Corvallis'
board. Baker City is very anxious
that the Oregon Pacific railroad
should so through its limits on its
route (o an eastern connection,
and these' gentlemen were sent
to confer with the managers here
as to what could be done. They
were shown over the city, and
taken through the public buildings,
and expressed themselves as agree
ably surprised. . Corvallis' new
school building i8 not. quite tip to
the Baker City one. but it is good
enough. About 7:30 p. m. the
committee were taken to Albany
in Wm. M. Hoag's special car, and
are home again by this time.
Awarded $300. Friday last the
damage suit of L. G. Kline vs. B.
T. Taylor, for injuries done by de
fendant last October came up for
trial. After the evidence was
heard and case argued the jury re
tired and in a few hours brought in
a verdict for the plaintiff for $300
damages besides $21 doctor's fees
and $10 for medicine, with other
costs. The amount sued lor was
$1,031.
Meets To-aiORROW. The county
horticultural society will meet at
1:30 p. m. next Saturday iu its
room in the court house. The
following pa'pers will be presented:
Mrs. Thos. Graham, "The Chry
santhemum and its Culture."
Miss Nettie Spencer, "Flowers."
Geo. Coote, of the agricultural
college, will discuss "The History,
Character and Culture of Agaleas
and Camellias."
For Deep Water. The O. R.
& N. steamer Modoc will next
week take a lay-off and have her
light (summer) wheel replaced by'
a heavy deep water one. She will
then claim to be the greyhound
ot the ; Willamette. With the
other boats, which are now run
ning, she may get left. One ad
vantage the Modoc has is iu her
compound engines. -
To be Planted. -The botanist of
the agricultural college, Prof. E.
R. Lake, received one day last

trees and shrubs, which have been

Here is a problem" for the average
Corvallis councilman to study over, ii
he sees fit: Suppose there are tventy
streets in Corvullis arid on each street
there are eighteen crossings, . one-third
of the whole number' are veiy muddy
and the remaining two-thirds are kept
clean. On the streets that are clean
come 10 strangers and on the muddy
ones 6, they are to meet at a certain
point, all have nice ; newly-blacked
shoes on starting - out, 'the 10 have
bunions and the 6 corns. Now, when
they reach their destination and their
feet are cleaned, which will furuis.h
the most dirt the 20 shoes or the 12?
And which of the two classes of strang
ers will have used the most "cuss"
words the 10 or the 6? This "prob
lem" question happened to arise in
my arithmetical bump on Sunday last,
when I and several others were com-'
pelled to wade through the mud which
had collected itself on several crossings
on Monroe and other streets. The
city officials should hire some one to
clean these walks as ofteu as every
other day, anyway. It would be an
everlasting benefit to those of the male
persuasion and, I am certain, the ladies
of this city would offer up thanks.
One of the ministers of Corvallis
will, on next Sunday evening, preach a
sermon concerning the "Mysterious
Young Man." I wonder if he has been
looking up some of the Corvallis
twenty-oners; ii such is the case his
remarks will, without a doubt, be very
interesting. There are several around
this incorporated county seat who are
of such a disposition that it certainly
is a mystery to know how they exist.
From early morning till close on to
midnight fot seven days in each week,
the hardest exercise they take is either
to stand on the street corners with their
hands in their pockets and watch pass
ersby, or to hang around the different
eye-sores of the "prohis" the sabons.
On the sabbath days Jthey either attend
a horse-race or go duck-hunting, and
in the evening are always seen and
heard around a church door wanting to
"catch on;" the extent of their reading
is the dime-novel pr detective stories.
They are no earthly good to their
parents and are a detriment to them
selves. Taken all in all they are a
mystery, and thoughts for a lengthy
discourse could be furnished.
Concerning the late elections in some
of the old aud new states during the
past few weeks I notice that there is
considerable difference in people. For
instance: the Ohio people have shown
that they did not want Foraker by
running a Cam(pb)ell against him;
those of Montana chose a Tool-e (or
their ruler, and "Wash" has to depend
on a Ferry for the next four years.
A reporter on a Salem pajer in his
river notes, which" appeared in the
issue of the 22mi, says: '
"Also on the boat contentedly chew
ing cuds gathered froir. the stock farm
of Hon. J. T. Apperson, at Oregon
City, were one imported bull, three'
registered cows ami a heifer, all Jerseys,
bound for the State Agiicultufal col
lege at Corvallis. Three cows were
purchased by the college and Mr.
Apperson generously threw in the bull
ami heifer."
The reader . will naturally wonder
after perusing the above quoted re
marks, if these same animals are as
contented with the cuds they have
gathered from the state agricultural
college as tho.se furnished by their
former owner. If college cuds are as
"fresh" as most college students, no
doubt the cows are happy.
At the lower end of the wharf, foot
of Monroe street, attached to one of
the'pilea driven there, is a sign with
these words: "Notice, Positively af
Admittance" Were you to take one
step beyond that notice you would
find very damp footing so mush so
that you would never be able to read
those words again. It certainly is a
curious condition of things when such
warnings have to be posted to prevent
one from precipitating himself into a
watery grave. -
Astoria has a beet that weighs thirty
six pounds, and Salem produces one
which has grown to the shape ot a
hand, there being four fingers and a
thumb all well fitted to a palm, of
suitable form. Corvallis with her
educated agricultural college farm will
have to rustle to beat the two 'spoken
of above. When -it gets right down
to facts though, we have some 150
pound "dead beats" and they are
preserved in alcohol.
Noticing, as I pass along by the
several business houses, that evidences
of the approaching holidays are be
ginning to display themselves, calls to
my mind an occurrence which hap-.
pened on Christmas ef last year, and
which, I believe, has never received any
rnotice in print A week or two be
fore that happy day arrived, Captain
Geo. Raabe, of the steamer Wm. M.
Hoag, Pen. Short, of the Three Sisters,
and Jas. Coulter, then of the N. S.
Bentley, all "clubbed" together and
purchased a very nice gold-headed
cane and after having it duly engraved,
presented it to F. W. Bowen, the gen
tlemanly and courteous superintendent
and assistant general manager, of the
Oregon Pacific, as a Christmas token.
Tbe recipient of the gift was con
siderably surprised, but in his ' usual
happy manner extended the donors his
most cordial thanks. I don't think
M,iv Boweiv is much, accustomed tft
carrying a walking-stick for, to the
best of my recollection, I have never
seer him using it, and yet be very
likely treasures it just as highly and
will look upon it in the years to come
as a gentle and happy reminder of
past events.
