The price of wheat seems to have weakened a little during the past week, but it is on a firm stand at 85 cents per bushel. The knife grinder ought not to be out of work in dull times. Ex. We have no dull times in Cor vallis, hence no use for a knife tcrinder. Don't be a kicker. You can stand all the hot weather you get in this world if you are an Ore gonian. You want to look out for the next. Ex. Many of our farmers in Benton eoanty are not inclined to worry .much about the future wheat mar ket this year for they have already sold their wheat at a fair price. The cruel war in Chili is vir tually at an end. The govern ment has been overthrown and the insurgents are the victors, and they are making it quite Chili there for Balmaceda and the gov ernment officers and officals. Some farmers of this vicininy are baling their straw instead of burning it. The establishment of paper mills in Oregon furnishes a better market each year for straw that was at one time considered .worthless by the average Oregon farmer. There are hundreds of acres of Balm timber in the vicinity of Corvallis which until recent years was considered worthless. Thej manufacture of paper in the Wil lamette valley and other manufac- j tories have created a demand for this timber; and it is fast becoming valuable property. j A want advertisement in the Gazette last week for farm help brought a dozen applicants for the j place. The majority of the appli cations came from Linn and Lane counties. This' is one of the evi dences that laborers and mechanics all have employment in Benton county. . larger than ever before and the fruit palace built entirely of Ore gon fruits will be one of the lead ing attractions, especially for visi tors from the east. The fair be gins on Monday, September 14th. Piuneville is without any local minister, and the justice of peace has a corner on the marriage busi ness. There seems to be a field for missionary labor rnrnt Here in Oregon. Why would it not be a good i&S&fxkeep the money sub- scribejjjdbr ijijsvnary' purposes a home instead 01 sending it toNthe heathens irt "darkest Africa?" There is an old saying: "First of all begin thy missionary labors at home." This wcnild be a good practice to follow in religion as in public enterprises and every day business. When you find a man offering you something lor nothing, or a good deal for a little, and especial ly if that man is a comparative stranger, representing some "build ing and loan association," or some thing of that sort, beware of him. That is not the way men are ac customed to doing. Men who ex pect and try to obtain a greater loan than their property is good security for, or who expect to double an investment in three or four years by obtaining 6 percent., interest, are "suckers." The prospects for a large at tendance from all parts of the state to the Agricultural College this year are very flattering. If anyone has any doubts as to the benefits this institution is to the state, especially the farming and horticultural communities, just let them come to Corvallis and visit the college. If you want to get a thorough idea of what is be ing done in all its departments, come prepared to stay two or three days; if will take that long, and you will find the time very profitably spent. It is stated by a resident of Roseburg that in a private conver sation with friends Hon. Binger Hermann stated that he would not be a candidate for congress again. It would be a hard matter to find a man who will represent Oregon and her interests in con gress with the ability, earnestness and with the continued success and good results that Hon. Binger Hermann has in the past. That the people of Oregon appreciate his labors is demonstrated by the overwhelming vote cast for him at the last election. According to dispatches the tide of gold that has been flowing to foreign countries from the United States has turned and is beginning to ebb this way again. Heidel From the large stocks of mer- bach, Yeckelheimer & Co., of New chandise and clothinz the mer- iork, received a shipment of chants of Corvallis are receiving $650,000 from Europe this week. each week", they anticipate a live ly and prosperous trade this fall and winter. There are many other things that indicate prosper ous times in all lines of business in Corvallis this year. The peaches and watermelons of Marion and Polk counties are knocking the California and Southern Oregon product clear out of the market on account of Superior quality. Statesmen. For variety of peaches the Oregon peach is- far superior in size and flavor to those raised in California. Albany and Corvallis have through rail and ocean connection with San Francisco. That's the reason wheat is worth a cent more per bushel than at Salem. There are many reasons why Salem should have a railroad to the sea. Statesman. Correct, but wheat is generally from two to five cents more per bushel in Corvallis than in Salem. The Oregon state fair for 1891 twll be the best meeting ever held in Salem. The premium lists for exhibits and trials of speed are Ihe writer has been waiting for the last 29 years for his ship laden with gold to arrive from Europe, Africa or some other place, but he is becoming more convinced as the years roll by that it was over taken by pirates and the treasure carried off, or was wrecked on some rocky beach. SUCCESS. One of the most common traits of the human heart is that desire which each man has of performing himself the deeds that he admires in others and securing for himself something of their success. It is this desire that impels men to seek out the places where success ful men are, in order that, having the same environment and the same chances, they also may rise to eminence. Fiom this motive the village boy, who reads of the prosperous men of great cities, goes to the city himself as soon as he becomes a man, and the young European who reads of America comes to this land in search of fortune and honor. In fact there is no better way to attract the am bitious youth and enterprising men of the world to any particular spot than to show them that it is a place where many men have achieved success, and where the avenues for advancement are still open to the industrious, andrSso lute. There is no better!; way; for a city to accomplish " this" end-than through its local;: papers. ':If the "v paperhas a. neat appearance, is read'atIev and is well filled with attractive advertisements of busi ness men, the stra&ger - who'reads it at once forms the conclusion that it is a live and pushing place, and a good town to live in. If the paper is filled with patent medicine advertisements and has a sickly look he will steer clear of the place. Much good can also be accomplished by sending extra copies of your local paper to friends in the east. The Gazette could give the names of numerous parties who came from the east and made their homes in Benton county directly through this source of information. Their friends either sent them the local papers or they sent directly to the office for sample copies. OREGON WEATHER REPORT. "FORPAH," ' ; The Finest Summer Resort ON THE PACIFIC COAST. 10 to 15 degrees FOB WESTERN OREGON, FOR WEEK ENDING SATURDAY, AUGUST 29, 1891. The temperature has been from a day above the , the maximum ranging from 90 to 100 degrees on the 26th, 27th and 28th. To-day has been warm but cooler. The seas on of extreme heat is or should be about over. No. rain fell during the week, the weather has been cloudless, with fog on the coast in mornings and smoke in the inter ior valleys. CROPS. Wheat is all cut and much of it is threshed. In every section the yield has been above the expecta tions of the most sanguine. The wheat is plump, heavy and of ex cellent quality. Oats are heavy, and as a rule are large in yields; late oats have been injured slight ly by rust in parts of Marion coun ty. The threshers will be busy for about two weeks yet. Hop picking begins next Monday; in some sections considerable dam age has been done by the lice; in other sections a good average crop will be picked. In Josephine county hop lice are not observable and no damage has been done. Fruit is ripening rapidly and is very plentiful. Tomatoes and can teloupes are now generall ripen ing. The hot dry weather has been slightly injurious to root crops, clover, corn and to young orchards. In Curry county the second crop of red clover is head ing and the fourth crop of alfalfa has been cut, each crop averaged in stalk, 22 inches in length. EASTERN OREGON WEATHER. Continued hot weather, with maximum temperatures of from 90 to 105 degrees, have prevailed. No rain fell, the sky has been cloudless, with smoke appearing in the atmosphere. CROPS. The weather has been slightly injurious to the corn crop, but favorable to fruit, melons and to harvesting. Fruit and melons are ripening rapidly, and are very plentiful. The wheat is nearly all cut west of the Blue Mountains, and considerable has been thresh ea; an reports show that it is turning out much better than was expected. In Wasco and parts ot Sherman county spring and fall wheat is somewhat shrunken. In Gilliam, Morrow and Umatilla counties the wheat crop as a whole was never better. Harvesting is in progress east and south of the Blue Mountains. Union county especially has a fine crop of cere- ais, duc ail counties have crops above the average. Smut is found in t he wheat in sections of Grant county. Prices are about 20 per cent.Thigher than last year with an upward tendency. .
