Mr. Hoffman keeps the best blood of the standard breeds, and he ap pears to be meeting with excellent success all around in the conduct of his business. Jim Ball, of Newport, who accommodates the summer visitor who does not find suf ficient stimulation in the ocean breezes, was in the city this week. Mr. Ball has many friends in Corvallis for be it known that he never turns a deaf ear to the requests of the boys whose summer vacation has been cut short by financial embarrassment. It has been the custom for the past two years to give weekly dances at the city hall during the winter months under one man agement or another. It is understood that they will this winter be uuder the manage. ment of the band boys. Should this prove to be true the boys will give these social hops a degree of "tone" which will render them very popular. Harry Hoffman list Tuesday evening opened a shooting gallery in the room for merly occupied by Wm. Hanson as a cloth- ingjstore. He has all the necessaries of an establishment of this kind, aud a negro baby appurtenant. We notice that Harry h;i8 placed upon the sidewalks a large num ber of "standing ads." which the winter's rains are not likely to efface.

The cry is "Let there be light," but the command is not so effective as it is said to have been upon a time in the early days of the world's existence. The damage to tho electric light machinery will be repaired the first of the week, or as soon as possible. Since our citizens have become accustomed to lighted streets the wonder is that they so long per mitted the dismal darkness to pervade the city. MARRIED. WILES BRANDON.

S. Wood cock, and another daughter, unmarried, of Corvallis, and George Simpson, we believe, of Portland. Funeral services were held this afternoon at 3 o'clock at Mr. Crawford's home, the remains being interred at this city. Albany Democrat. Good News for Alsea. The Ore gonian says Surveyor-General Byars has been authorized to let a contract for surveying some six townships in Benton county, in the Alsea district, and several townships in Cnrry county. If he can find any one who will take the contmct for the remuneration allowed by a wise and benefioent and humane - government he will at ence jlet the job. A SPLENDID DISPLAY. BENTON COUNTY COMES GALLANTLY TO TH8 FRONT. THE EXHIBIT ADMIRED BY ALU The Oregonian of Saturday comments aa follows upon Benton county's exhibit at the Northwestern exposition now being held in Portland: Some one of the early pioneers who brought with him "the plains across" pleas ant memories of the days when he wrestled with moods, tenses, conjugations and de clensions in the Latin tongue, having due regard to the geographical position of Ben ton county, named its shire town Corvallis, "The Heart of the Valley." The picturesque title is not misplaced. Benton county coin prises within its ample tentorial area of square miles practically every variety of soil and climate known to the temperate zone. While its peculiar physical con figuration makes the greater part of itn eastern portion more accessible to the sea breezes than other localities in the valley, they, bring with them, not discomfort, but "healing on their wings," and keep up a constant supply of ozone iu the atmosphere. Bentou county in common with the entire state, is feeling the impulse of the new and active life which is manifesting itself in movements looking to the encouragement of immigration in the shape of organizing boards of trade, local and state,- immigra tion societies, etc. Corvallis has a board of trade, the members of which sometime ago resolved to lend its valuable aid in the direction of making the great Exposition of 1890 a success from an agricultural . and horticultural standpoint at least. To tlils end they authorized W. H. Hartless and R. M. Davisson, the former president of the Corvallis Board of Trade, to make a collec tion of the grains, grasses, fruits and vege tables of the county and arrange them iu , attractive form for iuspection by visitors to the Exposition. And riht well have these gentlemen performed their task. Tables aggregating fifty feet in leugtlt and so arranged as to afford at least 200 feet of shelf room, are piled high with luscious fruits, toothsome vegetables aud other products of farm and orchard. It is pleasant to note that among the twelve varieties of apples from Mickey's farm near Toledo there is in neither of thetn the slightest sign of damage, by codliu moth or other insect pest. It is not to be taken for granted, however, that the per manent exemtion of this particular locality from danger iu this regard is an assured fact. It would be very gratifying to Know that such is the case. General Varney, state inspector of fruit pests, whose atten tion was called to the fact, advised the Beuton county exhibitor to urge upon the people to take all proper precautions in the premises, and allow no old fruit' boxes or other possible transmitters of pests to enter the charmed circle. The exhibit of pears in this section com prises thirteen varieties, mauy of them very tine, but some of them, unfortunately, furnishing evidence, as some of the applea do, that the insect pest has been at work. Hero is a good place, again to urge upon fruit-growers, the paramount importance of giviug their hearty co-operation to the State Board of Horticulture in their already, in mauy places, successful efforts to exter minate the insect pests which have already done so much harm in this state. Private and public interests suggest such action. Benton couuty also makes a good display of Italian, German, Silver and Hungarian prunes, and six varieties of peaches, among thein Golden and Yellow clings. Messrs. Hartless and Davisson, the com mittee, met with cheerful co-operation in their labors among the orchardists of Ben ton, among those contributing to the dis play being Thomas and James Cooper, Professor Tassel, E. C. Wyatt, Thomas Harris, William Mackey, Hugh Fiulay and others. Another noticeable feature of this exhibit is an extensive and attractive display of grains and grasses, which form aa admira ble letters of credit for the county addressed to intending purchasers of land who "want their money's worth." Among the minor exhibits is the product of one hill of King's early potatoes weighing thirteen and one half pounds, raised by L. M. Harrison, To ledo; a fine pot of seedling strawberries from B. F. Hyland's farm; the premium squash, 127 pouuds, twenty-four inches in diameter, from J. L. L. Powell, Corvallis; wurtzels, from James VVilknfson; rutabagas, E. Hamer, Nashville; onions, Andrew Gelatley; squashes. Charles Horner; watermelons, Pete Record. The Nashville apiaries, Nash & Sibrec. have an interesting display of bees and honey, and Fred Bloomhart of glazing clay. Apart from the exhibit made by the Cor vallis Board' of Trade, Beuton county is most admirably ''shown up" by thu managers of the State Agricultural college experiment station. The most notable feauturJMf . their exhibit consists of 4i varieties -of potatoes grown on i plot of a few acres.. .What Benton county shows gives a fair, but by nomeanscomplete idea of the fertility and fecundity , of her soil and resources. Her mines, forests and 'fisheries, abounding in all the elements of wealth and prosperity, deserve, although they did not receive a full representation at the great exposition. As ' the full scope and purpose of the founders and promoters of this work come to be bet ter understood by the people of Oregon thay will see the immense benefit to be derived from au exhaustive diaplay of every clcmcns of the future growth aud denslopetaont of tho si3i aaj act atxovdiujSy. . yv. -
