however, for our citizens to keep their
doors locked at night and not leave
loose change lying around.

The Gazette has refrained from
commenting npon the fine weather up
to this date, being apprehensive that a
"weather item" would precipitate the
winter which has leen anticipated for
several months. There can scarcely be
any damaging cold weather nowj or
dinary bottom land has not been too
wet to plow, and if any farmer is not
already through seeding, he is not en
titled to sympathy if we now have
a long spell of wet weather. Our
Eastern Oregon friends may require
some snow to furnish water through
the summer, but Western and Southern
Oregon can make no complaint against
the weather this year.
The rush of freight to CaliforniH by

The Yaquina Republican says,
Norm Holgate and Mr. Titus had a
narrow escape on the beach the other
day. While going around the point
this side of the Moore brothers' a

class surf bath.
The Compendium, published at
Roseburg, compliments W. E. Yates
our county school superintendent in
its last issue as follows: A very in
teresting teachers' institute was held in
Corvallis last week. Superintendent
Yates, who is a graduate from the Ag
ricultural college and has been princi
pal of the excellent public schools of

Superintendent. It will be remem
bered that Corvallis is virtually the
birthplace of the present system of
Oregon teachers' institutes.

entitled "The Church and the Young."

the Young." Second of the series, "The

ing; the third and fourth on the suc

morning discourse begining February

tors;" "Luminous Bodies;" "Forms vs.

Ministerial Aid. Believing that
there are many persons in indigent cir
cumstances in and about our city, in
eluding paupers, often not members of
any church, who are sometimes visited
by sickness and death, .we, the ministers
constituting the Ministerial Association
of Corvallis, desire to announce our
readiness to visit the sick and dying
when desired to do so. And believing
that the proprieties of our civilization
demand religions services at funerals we
also annouce our readiness to officiate
at all such funerals when invited.

PASSED THE SENATE.
A dispatch received from Salem yes
terday says Senator Crosno's bill appro
priating $25,000 for additional build
ings to the State Agricultural College
and Experiment Station, embracing a
building for a station laboratory, a
dairy, and for the accommodation of
students from abroad, passed the sen
ate by a unanimous vote. The senate
also adopted the new Morrill act passed
by congress and approved on August
30, 1890, by which the Station obtains
from the government $16,000 this
year, f 17,000 next year and an increase
of $1000 a year until the annual appro
propriation reaches $25,000. As the
bill has passed the senate without a
dissenting voice it will without doubt
pass the bouse and become a law.
