Eight carloads of wheat, the first of the season, arrived in Portland last Friday from Walla Walla. The price paid for it was 81 cents per bushel laid down in Portland. Mr. Wm. Reed was down from Eugene Saturday, Mr. Reed was for- mei ly. a resident of this city and was astonished at the improvements made here since his departure. The weather machine has evidently lieen repaired and is now grinding out fine Oregon weather. We hope it will not slip a cog again if it causes such intense heat as we had last week. The contract for building the Cor vail is Carriage and Wagon factory has been let to W. H. Fenton, of Eugene, lie being the lowest bidder. The structure is to be completed by the first of November. Pete Callahan and wife, and Ralph Davisson and wife returned last Mon day from Big Elk, where they have been camping out for the past two weeks. They report lots of fish and game over there. A letter from Kansas informs ns that the heat is intense there, but that the nights are unusually cool, and that fruit is fine and plentiful. Good for Kansas; she breaks her record if she lias a fair fruit crop. Lew Dyer and Miss D. Brown, both of Marion county, were united in the bonds of matrimony in this city last week. Mr. Dyer is employed in the Brown's sawmill and they will make their future home there. Mrs. Chrs. Smith, of Yaqnina City, died Thursday July 30, 1891, at her home in that city. Mi's.

State Superintendent McEIroy has sufficiently recovered from his late ill ness to be able to travel and has gone or a visit to California, where he ex pects to- more- rapidly recover by a change of scene and climate. The Oregon state fair will be held in Salem, commencing September 14th. This promises to be the most success ful fair ever held in this state, and the exhibits will certainly be much-better tlian. those of former years i The Bellfountain Fruit Grower S As sociation have placed an order for 11 000 prune and pear trees at 12 cents each to be set out on their place south west of Corvallis, this fall. 100 acres of gronnd is being prepared to receive the trees. Our readers will have to excuse the appearance of the Gazette this week On account of immense rush of job work in our job department the early part of the week and sickness the lat ter part, we have been unable to do justice to the paper. The advertising car for Sell Broth ers' enormous shows, arrived in thi city Wednesday and the streets were soon lined with flashy posters and dodgers. Every available bill board in this city is now covered with adver tisements for their great shows. The board of directors of school distiict No. 9 will meet next Monday as a board of equalization to correct any error made in the school nssess- nient tor le'Jl, after which the tax roll roll will be placed in the hands of the school clerk for collection of taxes. Mr. Chas. Stow, advance advertis ing agent for Sells Brothers' paid us a visit this week. Mr. Stow is an old newspaper man and certainly knows how to fill the position he occupies. He is as pleasant a gentleman to do business with as we generally find; in other words he is the right man in the right place. There will be no steamer run be tween here and Salem until next fall. The water is so low that navigat oetween aaiem anu uorvauis is now impossible. The boats are being re paired and their owners expect to do a rushing business this fall and winter. The O. P. Company's steamer Three Sisters still continues to make trips between Salem and Portland. The barn of T. C. Shaw, living in Wilkins' addition, was destroyed by fire last Monday. The little three- year-old son of Mr. Shaw obtained some matches from the house and pro ceeded to the barn where he kindled a fire. The barn contained quite a lot of hay and once on fire it was impos sible to extinguish it. It was a small building and .theloss will not be more than $100. ' Sulphur Springs, about 14 miles southwest .of Corvallis, is becoming quite a popular resort. It is close to Corvallis and a easy .access, being a nice drive all the way. Already a number of Corvallisites have camped there this season . S. T. Jeffreys and family will leave this week to camp out for a week at this place. Among those now camping there is the fami lies' of M. S. Woodcock and Mr. Baker. Last week the Salem Statesman published an account of a fire which was said to have destroyed seven or eight blocks and to be still raging. The article wound up by saying that this was the kind of an account they would have to publish if the city did not secure better water service. The Statesman must have been hard up for copy to resort to such a hoax as this. The article is more than likely to do some damage to the city and certainly did the paper no good. O. P. Beardsley, of Eola, has this year raised about 15,000 pounds of gooseberries worth three cents a pound and has produced 10,000 pounds of blackcap raspberries which have sold at eight cents. His annual honey crop brings in about $200. He has twenty-five acres in hops and if the bugs will let them alone the outcome will be rich. On i acres of ground he will pick 500 bushels of peaches worth more than that many dollars. They are on trees set out four years ago. He has fifteen acres in young trees. Tuesday afternoon a committee of six, representing - all the employees of the Oregon Pacific came to Corvallis and had a three hour consultation with the Oregon Pacific officials, demanding their pay, which consists of labor for the company since January, about six months being due. They returned to Albany Wednesday evening by a special train, placed at their disposal, and report that satisfactory arrange ments were made by which they will be paid in full or in part before the 3rd of August. About $75,000 are due in all. Most of the employees think Wm. M. Hoag and the local officials have, and will do all they can to liqui date with the employees. SETTLE UP. Mr. Ed Greffoz having purchased the busi ness in this city of his father, desires that all knowing themselves indebted to P. P. Greffoz call and make immediate settlement as he wishes the old accounts squared np. NEED MORE ADVERTISING. THE REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS OREGON SHOULD ADVERTISE. OF It is no doubt unknown to many, but nevertheless it is a fact that the worst draw back that this state has is that it is not advertised enough and the advantages we possess are not placed before ti e people of the Eastern and Middle states as they should be. There is no state in the union that possesses such vast resources and is ad vertised so little as the state of Oregon. Now what we need is for the busi ness men who have the means to com bine and adopt some means whereby the state and especially the Willamette valley may be advertised thoroughly advertised throughout the Central and Eastern states. We publish the fol lowing from the pen of an Oregon gen tleman who has recently returned from a trip through the East: ALL WANT TO KNOW ABOUT OREGON. "While traveling through the Mid dle and Eastern states I took pains to learn the condition of the farming classes, and I was surprised to learn of the hard times they all complain of. In talking with some of the farmers I learned that there was a geneial desire to get out west, and especially into the Willamette valley. All are suffering from taxes, drouths, floods or other disturbances, and they would villingly give half their possessions to get out to Oregon. I tell you, Oregonians don't know how well off they are. There is a general dissatisfaction among the farming classes throughout the Middle states, and there is no question in my mind but that through proper efforts by the business men of Portland and the farmers of the Willamette valley, and intelligent co-operation with the Union Pacific Railway Company, thousands of fairly well-to-do farmers who are now plodding along in the Middle states could be brought out here. The Willamette valley is not half understood, and if the present dull times continue in the East, there is no telling how many Eastern farmers will seek homes here during the next few years. OREGON NOT HALF ADVERTISED. 'The great trouble, however, is that Oregon is not half advertised. People want information that they do not get. There is very little Oregon litera ture to be found in many states, and in some none at all. J. will venture to say that in ten years, if the proper ef forts were put forth to immigration, every foot of agricultural land will be worth $200 an acre. "In one little town of 4000 popula tion in Ohio I found five tomato can neries. Jf such enterprises succeed there why should they not succeed here where the natural resources are more va ried and extensive, and where the fail ure of crops is never known. 'As I crossed the Missouri river I found information regarding Oregon very Bcarce. tsut little advertising matter was to be seen any where. All the advertising I saw done by the Union Pacific railway, and I believe this company is even now doing more to advertise this state than anyone else. The officials of the road are kind and courteous, and furnish intend ing immigrants all possible information regarding this state and its resources. OREGON FRUIT AND HOPS. "The Oregon fruit and hop indus tries are almost entirely unknown of in the East There is more interest taken in these products in the East than in grain, and considerable inquiry is made regarding the adaptability of Oregon soil for such products. I found no fruits of any kind in the Eastern markets having the Oregon label. I asked in several markets why this is, and was told that they did not know that Oregon raised fruit. People in the East seem to think that Oregon is far out in the wilderness, somewhere beyond California. Now, there is no reason why Oregon fruits should not be found in every Eastern market Ore gon certainly can and does raise fruit, and a good deal of it probably finds its way into Eastern markets under other labels. Many -years' practice has given C. A. Snow & Co., solicitors of patents at Washington, D. C., unsurpassed suc cess in obtaiuing patents for all classes of inventions. They make a specialty of rejected cases, and have secured allowance of many patents that- had been previously rejected. Their ad vertisement in another column will be of interest to inventors, patentees, manufacturers, and all who have to do with patents. Bargains in summer clothing at No lan's. ' Will Return in August. A let ter received from C. Elton Blanchard, who has been attending the national teachers' association at Toronto and is now visiting his old home in Orwell, Ohio, says: "We had a delightful trip, and at Toronto it was simply grand. 15,000 teachers made the city look fair for the time at least. We had Pros. McKeen, Coville and Prof. Irish and wife with us from Portland all the way. Mrs. Irish was seasick during the whole journey. I am now having a good time in my boyhood haunts, and it really seems good to be at the old home place again. I expept to be ready to return to Cor vallis in August We saw nowhere in our journey such crops as those about you in Benton county. When Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria, When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria. When she became Hiss, she clung to Castoria. When she had Children, she gave them Castoria. NOTICE.
