Our old-time friend, J. C. Cook, of Portland, gave us a call on Monday. He represents C. J. Staples & Co., manufacturers of fine candies. A.' J.

Call and jsee us before purchasing elsewhere. O'Donald & Strange, proprietors of the Corvallis Planing Mills. Elder J. H. Hughes, of Kansas City, Mo., the new pastor of the Christian church of Corvallis, is on his way to Oregon and is expected to arrive in this city about the 15th of this month. He is said to be a very able speaker and a man of fine education. Oregon will have no recount. Sec retary Noble has decided that the grounds upon which Oregon has made her demand are insufficient to grant a recount. So we will have to quit bark ing and sneak off like a whipped cur, dig a hole in the ground and bury the bone of contention on the census ques tion for the next ten years. t The Yaquina Post of the 4th and the Republican of the 2nd did not reach Corvallis until Wednesday of this week. At dull seasons the papers welcome any information upon which they can base a plausible "kick" against something or somebody and this item is thrown in as a pointer Jbr the Bay editors Wm. R. Owen and T. T. Hall of Marion county have been granted scholarships in the State Agricultural college. E. R. Skipworth has tendered his resignation as clerk of the supreme court to take effect on March 1, 1891. Mr. Skipworth will go to Eugene City to practice law. He was at one time a resident of Corvallis. A large barn on the lower Thayer place about 5 miles north of this city was totally distroyed by fire yesterday after noon. Albert Elliott is living on the place. A straw stack in the adjoining field had been set on fire and the flames spread to the barn, and before they could be got undercontrol the building and its contents were burned to the ground. At this writing the loss is not known but is supposed to be about $300 or $400. Still in the Lead. Corvallis still leads the price of wheat. When this season opened up, wheat brought from 3 to 4 cents more per bushel in the Corvallis market than at any other place in the Willamette Valley. The Albany papers laid the cause to com petition among our wheat dealers, claiming that the advanced price would be of short duration, or for a few days during the first of the season. It seems such is not the case. While the price of wheat in Corvallis is not quite so much in advance of Albany, Salem and other places now as it was the first of the season, it is still ahead. Yesterday wheat was quoted in this city at 64 cents, in Albany 63 J, in fealem bl cents. 1 his is about as it should be and shows the comparative difference, in the location of the three cities, as shiping points. The location of Corvallis as a shiping point is superior to any of them. Farmers' Institute. Yamhill county is arranging for a farmers' institute to be held December 30th and 31st, under the auspicies of the State Agricultural college. Says the Reporter: "Farmers' institutes, under similar auspicies, have become common in other states besides Oregon in the past frw years, and have proven bene ficial to the participants. The design is to bring the farmers together for the discussion of topics that .interest the farmers, and to exchange views and experience. The participation of the professional gentlemen tends to bring the farmers in contact with whatever enlightenment and advancement theout side world is making in the art of agri culture, and should help to stimulate and direct them to a higher standard of work." Better than Government Bonds. -The ordinary living expenses of n family of five persons, living in the customary manner ot the American people, amounts to not less than $1500 per year. It would require nearly $40,000 in Government Bonds to produce this income. Ten acres of land in the Willamette valley planted to prunes with an ordinary ciop at ordinary prices will net more than $1500, after paying for all labor placed thereon. You can buy this land o' the Oregon Lund Company of Salem' Oregon, in tracts of ten acres or ruoie at from $55 to $75 per acre. Address The Oregon Land Company Salem Oregon. Fruit Shipments. The Record Union reports an interview with lead. ing fruit shiping firms and association men of Sacramento on the result of the season's shipments to eastern mar kets. Last year there were shipped from there 1674 cars of fruit. This year, to date, 2138 cars have been sent east, and the probability is at the time the season closes the shipments will be double those of last year. This season's shipments, which include those of other sections of Central and North ern California, amount thus far to 23,000 cars of fresh fruit, and would make a train of cars thirteen miles long. Here is a lesson by which the Oregon farmer may profit. The Chautauquas. The Chautau qua Circle has been reorganized and began the new year's work last Mon day night. The meetings are held in the parlor of the Congregational church each Monday evening. Last year the program was varied by lectures by Prof. Hull, Dr. Pernot, Rev. A. Rogers and Mr. C. C. Hogue on the topics under consideration, and the season closed with a sociable and sup per and the class photogragh was taken by the flash light. The latter can hardly be called a flattering presenta tion of the various members of the class, but as a curiosity in facial study it is well worth preserving. Member. QUARTERLY MEETING. The regular quarterly meeting of the State Horticultural Society will be held in the city council chamber in Portland on Tuesday, October 14th, at 10:30 a. m. The following papers will be read and discussed: 'Small Fruit Culture," C. H. Welch, Mt. Tabor. "Horticulture in the Hood River Valley," C. P. Heald, Hood River. "The Young Orchard," R. D. Allen, Silverton. The committee on legislation will report on the following subjects: "A permanent room at the capital in which the society may keep its library and records;" "Legislation Against Pernicious Birds." It is hoped and expected that there will be a large attendance at this meeting as it is "Horticultural Day" at the Exposition. The State Board of Horticulture will be present and some leading horticulturists from dis tant parts of the state are expected. As this will be the last meeting of the society before our next legislature convenes all members and others in terested in Oregon's horticulture ought to be present and take part in the questions of legislation that will come before the society for consideration. There is a deep interest being mani fested in the horticulture of our state and it behooves this society as a state institution to foster all legitimate steps in the direction of advancement of this industry. We trust that the members will feel a deep personal re sponsibility in niaking this meeting one of special interest and importance. The S. P. R. R. will give the custo mary reduction in return fare. Very respectfully, E. R. Lake, Secretary. The Pamphlets. Three thousand of the 20,000 pamphlets to be issued by the Board of Trade of Corvallisfend Yaquina, descriptive, of Benton county, have been received in this city. The pamphlet is a cieditable piece of work both in respect to its typographical appearance and the chacter of its con tents. It contains twenty four pages of information relative to the physical features of the county, climate, varied resources, transportation, cities and towns, society, educational advantages, etc. It also contains excellent illus trations of the new court house Agri cultural college building and the new school house, of Corvallis, a view of the entrance to Yaquina bay, and a map of Benton county. By proper distribution of this work, it must re sult in much good to the county. New Time Table. The O. P. company issued a new time table which took effect October 5th. Train No. 1 leaves Yaquina at 7 a. m., arriving at Albany at 11:13 a. m.; fain No. 2 leaves Albany at 12:20 p. m. arriving nt Yaquina at 4:35 p. m. The freight train going eastward, No. ' 3, runs on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, and on intermediate days when neces sary. The westward freight, No. 4, i-tins on Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays, and on intermediate days when necessary. The daily mixed train from Albany eastward leaves at 1:45 p. m., and arrives at Albany at 10:45 a. in. Gone to Rest. Semon Selling died in Portland, his home, on the 6th ihst. He had been an invalid for some time and had recently returned from a trip to Europe whither he had gone in the hope of obtaining relief. A few years ago Mr. Selling and Miss Rosa Jacobs, daughter of our townsman, M. Jacobs, were married in Corvallis and began the'r wedded life with every prospect of a long and happy union. Mr. Selling was not well known in Benton county but our people enter tain kindlv remembrances of his be reaved wife with whom they are in deep sympathy in this, hei hour of grief. Acquitted. Geo. Mattox the sa loon keeper arrested last Monday oa a complaint charging him with vio lating the city ordinance regulating the selling liquor on Sunday, was tried before Recorder Spaulding, the case occupying the greater partof Tues day and Wednesday. The legal fra ternity of the city was fairly represent ed at the trial, and after some. able ai- guments were made for md against the defendant, as is usual in such cases the defendant was acquitted, the evidence in the case being insufficient to convict him. Big Band of Sheep. Mr. Eni drove a band of 1,941 sheep through here the past week. Their average weight was 120 pounds. He sold them to Baeson & Avry of Corvallis. They were driven across the mountains from Silver Lake. Eugene Register Runaway. Last Sunday, Beach Harris, recently from California, hired a team of Jessie Wilkins and a buggy of Mile Wilkins and went to Indepen dence. He started to return to Cor vallis iii the evening and had proceed ed about six miles on his journey when the horses became frightened and ran away. Mr. Harris was thrown over the dash board and was badly bruised about the head and body, and had his ankle severely sprained. He is able to be about with the assistance of crutches but it will be several weeks before lie will be himself again. Mr. Harris stopped over night at a farm house near by and came to Corvallis on the train Monday morning, leaving the team and the remains of the buggy with the farmer who brought them to Corvallis on Tuesday. Removed. S. L. Kline desires to inform his customers that he is now located in his new store just across the street from his old quarters, and that he i is ready to wait on his customers with ! his usual courtesy. He now has the largest stock of general merchandise ever brought to Corvallis, and his more coming, and can supply the wants of all, from a pound of sugar to a suit of clothes. He has no ax to grind but he will sell you one if you call and see him at his new store.
