THE CORVALLIS GAZETTE, FRIDAY, APRIL 24, 1891. Highest of all in Leavening Power. 11 x . 1 J ABSOLUTE PURE ZOOLOGICAL SPECIMENS. Zoological Depaktment, State Agricultural College, Corvallis, Oregon. Dear Sir: The College author ities, believing that acquaintance with the appearance of our native animals on t lie part of students is advantageous, desire that there should be represented in its Zoo logical Museum, typical specimens ot Oregon birds, mamuls and rep tiles. With that object in view, they are prepared to pay just prices for desired specimens in the flesh, or mounted, or simple stuffed skins properly prepared. Anything of such a nature sent to the College should be plainly marked "Museum of State Agri cultural College, Corvallis, Or.," and sent, when possible, by Wells Fargo'8 Express, which company courteously carries such specimens gratis, when so addressed. The College reserves the right to reject any specimen or speci mens in poor condition, or those in which the workmanship does not reach the standard of excellence, or those with which the museum may have been previously sup plied. Although all, even the most common birds, mamals, reptiles, etc., are desired, such as black birds, sparrows, pigeons, hawks, moles, gophers, squirrels, snakes, turtles, etc., it would not be so advisable to send the more com mon species in the flesh (for these can usually be obtained by local collectors), as other rarer animals not so easy-to procure. Such ani mals it tney are to be several days on the road, should be disembow eled through a median slit about one-third the length of the animal, in the. posterior part of the abdo men on , ventral side, and they should be carefully packed. It would be difficult to quote prices on such specimens as such prices -would depend on market value of the animal, its rarity, de sirability, etc., at time of purchase. A large series of specimens of JTaphdon. "Mountain Beaver," are desired, and if in good pelage, 75 cents each will be paid for ten or more. , The same is true of "Lago- my a ," or "Little Chief Hue, "Pika Hare," "Starv3d Rat," or 'Coney ." A list of prices p lid for mount ed birds and bird skins will be sent on application. Representa tive mamals, as prairie dog, wolf, coyote, deer cougar, jack-rabbit, etc., and good specimens of our waterfowl and land birds, the ven omous and non-venomous snakes, turtles, etc , are desired. Note that every thing of this nature sent to the College by Ex press, must be plainly marked as above indicated. It is hoped that all interested in the growth of the museum who can help in this matter will do so. Specimens are frequently pre sented, and in such cases due cred it is given the donor. Specimens moulting' or shedding their hair are not so desirable as those in good plumage and pelage. Respectfully, F. L. Washburx, Prof. Zoology and Entomology. Tffe appointment of Hon. E. T. Hatch, of Polk county, as collector of customs for Alaska is a good one. LIFE AMONG THE LEPERS. Sitter Rose Gertrude has written another article lor The Ladies' Home Journal for June, on "What it Is to Be a Leper, " in which she gives a clear glimpse of leper life in Molakai, how the disease is contract ed; how it is - treated and cared, and how (he lepers live in their exile. U. S. Gov't Report, Aug. 17, 1889. bwder FRUIT OF THE NORTH WEST. The culture of fry it in Oregon and Washington is one ot the un developed promising industries of those wonderful states to the north of California. A writer in the Petaluma Courier of recent date puts the case in this graphic style "The pioneers who crossed the dreary plains into Oregon in 1840 and 1844 curried with tlieui the seeds of fruit trees, and planted them and fruited them early. "Some of the oldest orchards i; California have trees still growing in them and bearing heavily that were brought from Oregon before the days of '49. "Oregon has a magnificent cli-' mate and soils for all hardy and semi-hardy fruits. She has not progressed so far as California in fruit culture for want of market. California attained transcontinen tal railroad connections more than a score of years earlier than Ore gon. This gave the dry state a long start ahead in fruit culture; but now as a matter of fact, Ore gon is the better fixed of the two, in having competing lines of rail roads across the hills and prairies. The same may also be said of Washington. Therefore those great states are beginning to 'make a fuss' in fruit production, and they are going to keep it up, and rightly too, lor they have got that great northern world which is swept by blizzards to supply with fruits. It is a country of vast extent, which will be teeming with millions of people, living where fruits cannot grow, but where 'stuff' with which to exchange for fruits can be; and besides, they have a cool northern direct route by which they can ship east. Oregon apples and prunes and plums, and possibly grapes and peaches, will soon make a great showing in the world's markets, for no greater or better or surer crops can be grown anywhere. HEARST'S ENTERPRISE. A NEW CLAIM BUREAU. The San Francisco Ex imiucr has estab lished in Washington, D. C, a bureau to be called "Kxamiutr Bureau of Claims," which will be of great benefit to alt persons hav ing claims against the Government of any nature or description whatsoever. Tna pension fees chargeable by attorneys have for some time been limited by law, and ui. der the recent act of M irch 3, 1S91, trans fening the jurisdiction of Indian Depreda tion i;a-ies from tiie Inferior Department to mo iconic or eiai.n, Congress, not only inn ited the fees, but in order to chsok th-j rapacity of the claim agents canceled ali existing Contractu and fee agreements be tween ciient and attorney. Congress was led to take this action ou account of facts brought to their notice that by a cmnbina tiou among the leading claim ajren s a range of fees from 33.i to 50 pyr cent had been established. The vast mass of !nv eminent claims are still unprotected by law. Mr. William R. Hearst, son of the late Senator Hearst, and the proprietor of the Examine, proposes to attend through his new bureau to all classes of cases before the departments pensions, patents, depre oatinn claims ana inaian claims tor a small percentage above the actual cost of the work.: He has engaged several competent attor neys and the necessary clerical force of a large bureau, JMid they will soon lie at work. He has placed at the head of the bureau Mr. John Wedderburn of this city, who has long been the correspondent of the Ex aminer, and had a remarkable experience a few years ago in fdrretiog out for Secretary Tracy tome gigantic contract f rands at the Mare Island Navy Yard. The new bureau, beiu?; established by a responsible newspa per, has already received the cordial en dorsement of many Western members of Congress, and is getting a big pile of mail from all sections of the country.
