AfiSOUUTELY PURE OLTtf COLLEGE. -Says the Rural Northwest, one of the leading agricultural jour nals on the Pacific coast: The ureeon Agricultural college is supported by the state and gener al government.. The people ought ,to take a : general interest in it, and know just what it is doing. There is, " unfortunately, in some . places a prejudice against agri cultural colleges. This prejudice has "arisen from two causes. One of the reason for this prejudice arose out of the fact that when agricultural colleges were first started in this country there were no persons . prepared' and fitted to : become . instructors therein. Many of the earlier ones were but little different in their character from other colleges. This reason for prejudice has about passed away. The other cause for preju dice is ignorance of the work that is being done; by these colleges, and a misunderstanding of what is attempted therein. It is certain that these scnools of agriculture and the experimental station con nected therewith, have '.already done a great deal to advance the interests of the . farmers of the United States. They are centers from which radiate -new ideas. The experimental work they are doing is especially valuable. When the farmer lived in a little clearing in the woods and could aTy .all of his tools and imple xaent upon" his back, agricultural colleges would have been useless. The tendency of late years has been such as to . make it constant ly more and more imperative that. a farmer 'shall be a man of intelli gence and skill. Oregon is espec jaJly a field in which the state agricultural college, 'with its ex periment station, can do a great work. The conditions of climate and soil are materially different from those found in the other por tions of the country. There is in evitably to be a great deal of what is known as "high farming" or, at least farming 6n high prieed land. To make this a success requires the aid of the best methods that are known or can be .discerned. Individual experiments will do much, but the state can do the ex perimental - work; more cheaply and can! prove by trial the worth of discoveries made by individuals. Great areas'are' being , planted to fruit trees in this state by persons who in ike majority of cases know neither the kind and conditions of soil best adapted to the different varieties of fruit, ifae proper mode of caring for and cultivating their Iruit trees after they are planted or the. 'various pests they have" to combat To such persons the bul letins of the -agricultural college cannot faiitb be ot greatvalue. This is only one illustration, Ql the immediate . benefits to be derived from tlip. college... We hope that the articles upon .the agricultural .college will be carefully read. and that the people of Oregon will see that it is to - their interest to up hold and encourage it in its work. If it deserves criticism let us have that, but let its shortcomings be pointed! out; In a friendly.' way rather than with the spite , of a fault-finder. ti ; AT PORTLAND. , Portland 5 is certainly.1; .a great 3ity.

Here were indi cations of thrift on the part of the fruit growers of the Northwest, and we can easily see" that the time is coming when Oregon will be at the pinnacle of fruit-growing countries. ' The mineral exhibits far exceeded our greatest antici pations. The gold products from Eastern and Southern : Oregon showed signs of. extreme mineral wealtli. Some verys enormous specimens were shown to us, and we were convinced that Oregon has untold resources of rich min eral products in mystified corners of the earth somewhere. Portland's big papers, the Ore gonian and the Telegram, are as in-, dispensable to the city's needs as her ; hotel accommodations. In deed, Portland without the Ore gonian would be like the play of Hamlet with Hamlet leit out. The Telegram is also doing a great work, and is run in the interest of 4 lis - rv- inflrt 11 n xr Tra - -ltvll HIV -m-' V.

It was a hard matter to discern where the real le't off and the ar tificial commenced. It well pays one to visit the cyclorama, and before you depart therefrom you will be fully convinced that war is not all a blessing. While in the metropolis we vis ited Drs. Darrin's office. We have been acquainted with these gentle men for some time, and we spent a very pleasant hour in their com modious quarters. Here a contin ual crowd was gathered, awaiting treatment, and it did appear that fully five hundred people passed up and down the elevator for con sultation during the 6hort time we were present. This was almost as interesting and spectacular as any feature of amusement we saw at the Exposition. Sunday we went over to Mt. Tabor, East Port land, on the electric and the mo tor cars. Here we met our friend E. C. Pehtland, who is now a resi dent of the metropolis. Many 1a te resting things happened over at Mt. Tabor, but lack of space will not permit. us mentioning them. This place is fully four miles from main Portland, and the Sunday excursion ride is an extremely pleasant one. A Huge Joke. -They are work ing of! ihe second story of the car-. riage factory now. A visitor in1 the city Tuesday supposed the fac tory was the" government works,' and said Pinger Hermann's major ity in Benton county would likely j continue to increase. The report er remarked that this was due "to . ...... . .-. . : i the efforts of enterprising citizens of this city, whose eapitai is large ly invested, in the construction of tlie enterprise. "Well," said'he,. "lr.am wrong. I had forgotten! that the college is putt'ng up an additional observatory." " You mean "dormitory, da you not?" quexried the reporter, and tfie lat ter then-took to his heels, " The joke was a huge one, andLthe' man. realized the full fruit and force of it at his own expense some time afterward.' ?

Mr. Editor: Sir Perhaps you and some of your readers would like to know something about the Linn County Business Council, P. of H., as said council met with the Oorvallis Grange at the last meeting, on Saturday, October 3d, '91, Brother John Bryant, president, in the chair. ;. The roll was called, and a quo rum being present, the regular routine of , business was gone through with. The minutes of the last regular session of the Council were read by the secretary and stood approved; In -the absence of Brother Mart Miller, the agent for the Council, there was no re port from him in regard to the fi nancial proceedings Of the Patrons of Husbandry in the jurisdiction of the L, C. B. C. The Patrons in this part of Benton county asked of the Council for a sub-agent to act in concert with the general agent, as it was rather difficult for them to go to Albany to do their trading. Their request was grant ed with the consent of Brother Miller, our agent. Considerable talk was indulged in by several members in expla nation of the workings of the Linn County Business Council, Bros. French, Scott, Freeson, Dr. Leep er, Letcher, Davison and Sister Whitney, and others whose names I failed to get. As this was the first meeting of the Council since last June, there was no business of importance prepared for this meeting. 1 -n ft ft a Prof. French, the O. A. college. requested the Council as a body to visit the Oregon Agricultural college buildings, farm, etc. At this juncture dinner was announced and the worthy president declared a recess for that purpose, of wliich all availed themselves and partook heartily of the repast, interspers ing it with social chat, all taking a general part. Immediately after lunch (head ed by Professors French and Letcher) the Council as a body started for the O. A. college, build ings, iarm, etc. On arriving at the college all were shown through the different rooms and the man ner of conducting said institution throughout. rni. - , jLne. green uouse was gone through. Also the dormitory, barn, silo building, etc., and their different uses explained in a hur ried manner. As there were a good many persons in attendance who had never been at the O. A. college, there seemed to be quite an interest taKen by the visitors in examining the locality, build ings, toek, flowers, etc., and none will regret the time spent. My only regret was that the time was too short to make anything like a thorough examination. 'After the hours thus spent, we returned to the council hall and resumed business. - The next meeting of the Coun cil will be held with Grand Prairie Grange NoVlO, Linn county, Ore gon, on the first Saturday in No vember, 1891. ' -. A vote. of thanks was tendered to- the Corvallis Grange by the Council for the use of their hall, to: the Sisters fo the repast furnished and to the Professors of the college for the interest shown to the Coun cil. No other business of importance coming before the Council and all seeming to have enjoyed them selves in the day's work; on mot ion il was adjourned. . P. Potent Pointers.
