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. Its metropolitan. ' magnifi
cence overaivehes all other compel i

member the time when we expe
rienced more real, genuine pleas
ure than when we glanced over
the selections of Oregon and Wash
ington exhibits. 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

At the -cvclorama of Gettys
burg we saw soul-harrowing con
flicts on the battlefield, men fall
ing about; and shells bursting, and
horses reeling, and blood .flowing
in rivulets as natural as life. 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.

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. Mrs. Nei i
Craven ia keeping pace with city
improvements by having, some
substantial .repairs made on her
property.: . Other should wisely
join, , tne procession where im
provements are needed, and it
will not be long till Corvallis will
be a neat and attractive city. Im
provement 1 '- improves " homes,
builds np property values, and is
the creative genius of wealtfar. Let
the'good work proceed Twhile the
dusty shackles drop from the ory
bones of mossbackism,, and the last
vestige of antiquated-action 6tupi-
hes under the sweltet of business
impulses, actuated by enterprise
and:
industry,. . It doesuot look
well to see alleys blockaded with
ril manner of thh arid ".besides
this, it is a fruitful agent in cre
ating bad health in a community.
Now it is the duty of each and
every citizen to see that these al
leys adjoining their premises are
cleared of all rubbish and filth,
and that they be kept neat and
clean, in accordance with strict
sanitary, regulations. If this plan
is heeded, Corvallis will justly be
what we claim for it so proudly
averitable health resort Cleanli
ness is not thrust upon mankind
by a very large majority; man
kind have to acquire it through
industrions manoeuvers.
