Monday morning Calllutton left for Sa lem in reply to a telegram offering him a permanent situation. Cal hns the reputa tion of being on of the best mechanics in the state, and will undoubtedly give perfect astisfaction in his'new location. Fred Nelson and wife moved to McMinn Tille this week, where they will reside in tha future. Duriug their resideuce in Cr allia, Mr. Nelson and his estimable wife fcare mde many warm friends who will ex ceedingly regret their change of residence. Due to a severe cold, Miss Maud Brsnne man was compelled to absent herself from the ichool room last Monday, much to the disappointment of her pupils who have be come very much attached to their fair in structress. A majority of them are unwilling to admit that anyone else can fill her place. Since the interstate exposition closed at Tacoma the large exhibit of vehicles made there by the Coast Carriage and Wagon Company has remained in Taconn on exhibi tion. I. D. Burg returned from that city this week, having, while absent, rtshipped te Corvallis the few rigs remaining unsold. Next Tuesday eveniug Dr. llowlaud Grant will deliver his popular lecture ' Life as an Art" at the opera house. Reserved seats are now on sale at Howell's jawelry store, at 25 cents. Read the press comments in another column. A select orchestra of the lest talent of the city will furnish music for the occasion. The Pacific railroads have made the west ern coast of Mexico and Central America almost an unknown laud. In "Down the; Weat Coast," in the Fubruary Harper's, j Charles F. Lumtnis will describe the mouth's journey by water from Sau Francisco to Callao, Peru, with its frequent stops and changing -of scenery, climate, nnd manner of living. jj With this issue the date of publication has been changed from Friday to Thursday. The Gazettb takes this action for the bon- fit of county subscribers living in localities j where mail facilities are somewhat meager. TViday U really a much more couvenieat day for publication than Thursday, but as the change will be an accomodation to mauy of our readers, we gladly accomodato our selves to them. The stellar dramatio attraction of the season will moBt assuredly be given at the opera house this evening by the talented sisters, Misses Charlotte, E3310 and Minnie Tittell, supported by their efficient com pany. This is the first season these three ladies have traveled together, and judging from the verbose encomiums of the press the combination has berE a happy one, tor every performance given by this excellent company has been to "stauuing : om only.'. The body of Solomon Scott, an old Indian, who has been missing since the first, was found on the fifth. The body was found near the Alsca settlement, face turned do n ward, and his Hour which he was carrying was destroyed by hogs. He was returning from the agency, where he went to get his issue.

"The" whist club held its re.;n:ai bi weekly meeting Saturday evening at the residence Miss Ocie Avery. ' ;uly the entire club's membe -hi, was present and all were in an uiioua!!y happy spirit, due largely to the hospitality of the charm ing hostess and the generous supply of dainty refreshments which i; -.vi ed. Shortly before midnight the club adjourned, to meet next at the home of Miss Bertha Davis. Judge Burnett added fresh laurels to his reputation as a public speaker last Sunday, when he delivered an eloquent aid scholarly address on the subject of "Orate rs and Oratory" before a large and attentive aud ience at the college chapel. This - one of a series of lectures inaugurated by the faculty early in the fall, which i. ve grown in popular favor and are we'! attended. They afford a pleasant and profitable diver sion for both studc n 4 and citizens, as the lectares cover a variety of topics. "The Prigin and Development of Reli gion" was the subject of an interesting course of lectures just concluded at the old college chapel under the auspices the Agassiz society. The lectures were deliv ered by Dr. G. O. Rogers, of Forest Grove, who is a scientist of marked attainments. In the treatment of his subject, Mr. Rogers advanced many ideas that were new to his hearers and which were not in harmony with the views entertained by a majority of his listeners, still from a scientific and historical standpoint, the lectures were interesting and instructive to all, and furnished the audience much iood for carefrl thought and study. Dr. Rogers is an exceptionolly-in-teresting speaker and a reasoner of much ability. Those fortunate enough to hear him were afforded a rare intellectual treat. The tax levy for state purposes has been fixed at three mills; for county purposes eight mills, and for schools four, and five tenths mills, making a total of fifteen and one-half mills. To this must be added the city tax levy and special levy for school district No. 9. Last year the total levy was 26 mills apportioned as follows: County, 7.2 mills; schools, 4.5 mills; state, 4.3 mills; city, 7 mills, and special tax for school dis trict No. 9, 3 mills. The levy this year will probably not exceed 24 mills for all purposes. Last Friday a young lady left Toronto, Canada, for Corvallis, intending to make this city her future home. She will be met at the Portland depot tonight by Mr. Wm. Barnhardt, the popular machinist at the carriage factory and well, you know the rest. Ou arriving in Corvallis they will register "Mr. and Mrs. Wra. Barnhardt." The Gazette extends congratulations in advance, and will wish the bride a hearty welcome to the city where her husband has resided duriug the past two years, and has become a general favorite with all. M. P. Taylor left Monday for Portland, where he will enter a ho3pital for treatment of cancer of the stomach, from which ha has been a constant sufferer for several months. It is expected that the operation of remov ing the cancer will be performed Thursday, the results of which will be anxious'y awa.'ted by members of his household as well as by his numerous friends. The oper ation is an extremely difficult one to per form, and may prove fatal. In any event, however, several months will be required for the patient's recovery. The wind blew last Saturday night, not a gentle zephyr, but a full-fledged hurri cane. At the college thej "wind-meas-uritig machine" indicated an average ve locity of 47 miles per hour, although fre quent gusts were estimated at SO milei per hour. Notwithstanding the fact that the gale was I lie most severe experienced here. it resu ted in only slight damage. Several blades from he wiud wh-rl on the water tower were broken; an old fence and a small barn in the north end of town owned by Al Kemp wet- ' b..n d wu; many else- tr light, telephone and telegraph poles were razed to the ground, and on Jefferson street the electric light aud telegraph wires came in contact with each other, resulting in burning out the' telegraph instruments at the S. P. depot. Further than this, no material damage is reported as a result of the stoim's severity. An attraction of more than usual interest will be offered the theatre-going community of Corvallis on Thu sday evening at the op era house, when the Misses Charlotte, Es sie and Minnie Tittell, will appear, sup ported by their own company, in "My Uncle's Will" and "Frou Frou." This is the first time Corvallis has had the pleasure of witnessing these three talented sisters together, and judging from the verbose en comiums from the press, the combination has been a hap y one, for every perfor mance given by tliese ladies and their ex cellent company has been to "standing room - y." Miss Charlotte is a comme- diennaof more than ordinary ability and a finished artist. Miss Esse has demon strated by her conscientious work in the east and upon the coast for the past five years that emotional work is her forte. Miss Minnie is a wonderful soubrette singer and dancer, and has the embodied element of a second "Lotta." CITY FATHERS MEET. At the council meeting M 'iiday evening the mayor and all councilman were present. C. H. Lee, ch rm 11 of special committee appointed to investigate Welker damage bill, made a verbal report to the effect that a portion at least, of the damage sustained by Mr. Welker, was paid him by the party riding iu his company at the time the acci dent occurred, and as the accident was not due to carelessness of city, he thought the bill should not be paid. The finance committee reported that the deal : eently made with Mr. Childers for a lease of he old engn..- iwus had been de clared off. The coii;m'' further reported that Messrs. Hod; s & Hall were willing to lease the building f H yours at a monthly rental of $20, Hodes & Hall to take down the tower aud make repairs to building to an amount not exceediug $300, which amount was to be allowed u the first rents. A moti 1 to acce ' the offer prevailed by a vote of 7 2, Peet and Gibson voting nay. Street committee reported adversely on petition for street light t 5th and Jeffer son streets. Bills to the am unt of about $500 were allowe in! ordered paid fiom the eeueral fund. Petitions for electric li ts, one ut cor ner of 9th and Washington, aud tho other at the south end of Third street, were re ferred to street committee. Petition for sidewalk on south side Mad ison street, between 5th . 7ih, laid over. Councilman Peet, Waggoner and Lee were appoin mi prepare an submit pro posed am: ndments to the city charter. Committee to report at adjourned meeting next M day evening. A com i- on from the fire depart ment calling attention in the leaky condi tion of the city hall nx.f, w is read. The matter was referred to Councilman Smith, who was instructed to have necessary re pairs made. Liquor license bonds of Theo Schnitzlein and Ge.hard & Kirk were approved and police judge instructed to issue licenses. No further business appearing an adjourn ment was had till next Monday evening. Retiring from Business. As we have decided to ;iv- up business in Corvallis, we are offering our entire stock without reserve, regardless of cost. We are very desirous of leaving by April 1st. In order to do so we will saciifice good goods at the above stated prices. To country mer chants we will offer extra inducements to buy in quantities. Store fixtures also for sale. Come early and get best selections. Stock's Cash Store. Mrs. T. S.

In reading over the published testimony of the Steeves trial, one wonders why Allen was not indicted as well as the lawyer. The evidence was circumstantial, aud was very vague to conviuce an honest, practical mind "beyond a reasonable doubt." Accu sation is half proof. The prosecution failed to show a reasonable motive on the pirt of Steeves. For several ballots, the jurymen voted "not guilty." It seems strange that these men, who, believing a man innocent, should finally "compromise" by finding him guilty of manslaughter. The mill race bridge, a mile south of this city, has been surrounded with water the past week, aud a constant menace to the safety of travelers. This bridge has been a perpetual expense to the county for rapairs and renewal. The owners received from the county free, the franchise for the ditch, and the county court should compel them to widen or deepen the race near the bridge, or cut auother channel for the overflow. The county should not pay the damage caused by private parties. People in the neighborhood of the Oregon Pacific depot are petitioning the council for a streetlight. Tbey should get it, and doubt less will. Those who have had busiues at the depot or carriage factory on dark nights, and have trembled at every sound and deeper shadow, dreading a sandb.'g or a holdup, will realize the importance of a light to those who live out there. Our council men are commeudably disposed to econo mize, but not to the degree of crankiness, and if the petitioner makes a fair showing of the urgency the city fathers will probably grant their prayer. Corvallis aud Benton county people gen erally demand no special appropriatiou for the Agricultural College in this year. This is the time for retrenchment, aud iu order to advocate . ublic economy bur representa tives should go into the legislature with clean hands, and ask for nothing for their county. The distribution of appropriations has been the lever used by the Portland men to move the county legislators to their interests. The citizens of Benton county want nothing but an economy that will les sen their taxes. Any affiliation of our rep resentative with the Simon cabal will not be excused on the ground of necessity for the passage of a local measure. It is easy for a member of the legislature to commit politi cal suicide. Our last representatives learned this. If Messrs. Carter, Cooper and Daly canvass the couuty 011 the senatorial ques tion they will find how dearly the people who elected them, love the Portland ice berg. And they should remember that the people do not care to sell their birthright for a mess of frozsn pottage. COUNTY COURT. County court m-e last Wednesday. Pres ent, Judge Hufford aud Commissioners Chambers and Rickard. Assessor Alexan derSled his official bondin tha sum of $5,000, with Sol King, Thomas Whitehorn and James S. Buchanan as sureties, which was approved. The janitor was ordered to pur chase a Yalo lock, and place samo on the door leading to the clock tower, and was instructed not to allow persons access to the tower, unless accotnp nied by himself or else had permission of the couuty court. In the matter of road supervisors for the iusuing year, the following named persons, were ap pointed: A. A. Williamsou. supervisor of road dist. No. 1 ; Chas. Head, No. 7; A. E. Miller, No. 8; Scott King, No. 9; W. H. Dilley, No. 10; Geo. W. Houck, No. 14; R. E. Boh nan, No. 18; Thos. Felger, No. 19; T. R.

D Hc.dgers, No. 31; Hardy McCormack, No. 42; John Calvery, No. 43; Frank Hughes, No. 52; Richard Irwin, No. 5S; S. R. Strow, No. 59. It appearing that Wm. Shipley, hereto fore a county charge, had two sons who were amply able to support and care for him, it was ordered that from and after January 20, 1S95, ! !;t court would no longer be re sponsible for his maintenance. Upon the request of Ruben Impson he was granted permission to leave the poor farm, and -lrn luggins was instructed that the county would no longer be responsible for his care aud Ruppoi t. Bill of N. D. Luther for medical services rendered George Stewart recently deceased was disallowed. In the matter of a tax levy for the year 1895, it was ordered that a,, tax of 8 mills for county purposes, and four and five-tenths mills for schools be levied on all taxable property of the county. BENTON'S PEDAGOGUES TO MEET. Next Saturday the Bjnton County Teach ers' Association will hold its fifth regular convention at tha public school building in this city. The executive committee, con sisting of Messrs. S. I. Pr m and R. F. Holm and Miss Mina Dittmar, has ar ranged an interesting program for the oc casion and a full attendance is anticipated.

Advices received by the Oregon state board of horticulture from Professor New ton B. Pierce, the government agent who recently spent about two months in this state and Washington, studying the disease affecting the apple trees, which has com monly been termed by the growers "black spot," show that his investigations have been carried far enough to prove that it is a parasitic fungus. From the study made in the field while here, and of the specimens he took to his laboratory at Santa Ana, Cal., he is now trying to determine its life history. The importance of Professor Pierce's dis covery to the Oregon fruit grower cannot be overestimated, as it removes the doubt on the part of many as to the nature of the dis ease, and provides a remedy for its control. It will be remembered that a portion of the trunk and branches of a 5 year-old apple tree from Mr. Chase's tine young orchard was sent by the board of horticulture to the dapartment at Washington last spring for identification, and that it was new to them. It was at tho urgent request of the board that Mr. Pierce was instructed to visit this state and investigate the trouble. it is pleasing to the fruit growers to know the result of Mr. Pierce's investiga tion at this season of the year, as they can begin operations to keep it under control at once. He states that the treatment sfroutd be preventive rather than curative, and recommends the use of tho Bordeaux mixture during the raiuy season. Frequent applica tions should be made to the affected parts. In the spring, freqnent applications of the lime, sulphur aud blue vitriol spray will no doubt be very effective. Oregoniau. Although this disease has already resulted in great damage to the? horticultural inter ests of the state, it has receive! no attention by the Oregon experiment station; due, it is claimed, to lack of funds. Some weeks ago a member of tho station council stated to a Gazette representative that the disease had not made its appearance upou the fruit about the college farm, and lie was of the opinion that the damage report -' by fruit growers was the result of "suu-.!d" rather than "black -spot." This thoory, however, is disproved by the fact that the disease very ofcen makes its appearance on the north side of the tree, which would be impossible in case of injury from the sun's rays. Re cently a four-ycar-old5pruue tree effected with both "sun scald" and "black-spot" was left at this office.'which plainly shows the damaging effects of the latter complaint. The specimen is a well -formed tree, about one and one-half inches in diameter. The trouble made its appearance first, on the north side of the tree. It began near the ground, running up the trunk for a distance of 15 inches, almost encompassing the tree and leaving only a space one-half of an inch wide on the south side for the circulation of the sap. Wherever effected, the bark had become discolored and died. When first noticed, it was thought the presence of the disease might be traced to some local cause, but subsequent developments proved that it 1 bad gained a footing in both Eastern Oregon and Washington, where irrigation was nec essary, and also in the jwsstern portious of these states where there was an abundant rainfall. It waefcund to exist on the uplands as well as on the lowlands. Soil, location or cliinatij conditions appeared to make no difference with the disease; it seemed to thrive anywhere. These facts made the qnestion all the harder to solve satisfactorily. Scientists ;were at sea. No history of such a trouble as "black-spot" is anywhere re corded. The disease was a new thing to horticulturists, aud the results of Prof. Pierce's investigations will indeed prove a boon to fruit growers, who for several months have been in the dark as to what oourse was best to pursue. TO MEET IN PORTLAND. The American Pomolugical -Society has accepted the invitation of the State Board of Horticulture to visit Portlaud upon the conclusion of its annual meeting in Sacra mento. The society, which will probably be represent! d by every fruit-growing state in the union, will met at Sacramento on the 15th, 16th, aud 17th of this month, and expect to arrive in Portland ou the evening of the 23d inst. In accordance with these expectations arrangements have been made for the State Board of Horticulture to meet at Portland on the22d inst. and get through their business on the same day. On the following day, the Northwest Fruit Growers' Association, comprising the three western states aud British Columbia, will meet and get theirjbusiness out of the way. Should everything take place as arranged and expected, the members of the State Board of Horticulture and of the Northwest Fruitgrowers' Association will meet the train on its arrival from Sacramento on the 23d and tender the visitors a welcome. After this it is probable that the committee on reception will entertain thein to a ban quet, when the evening may be spent in giving addresses and pleasant chats. The session will probably occupy a whole week, including the two days' work of the State Horticultural Society and the Northwest Fruit Growers' Association. The program will be made up principally of speeches from representative fruit growers from dif ferent parts of the state, showing the soil, qualities of fruit they grow, area planted, etc. It is the intention of the Northwest representatives to impress upon their visit- . ..- i n.k- n t rarm ors that this coast moaus " with them in the future. This meeting is largely the result of Prof. Lake's persistent efforts, and will no doubt prove of incalculable benefit to Oregon and her large fruit interests- Letter List.

NEWSY COLLEGE NOTES. Items Gathered by Our Reg ular Correspondent at the Agric ultural College. During the night of January 12th the wind ble at 47 miles an hour, between 11 and 12 o'clock. There has already been a rainfall of eight inches since the first of the year. The experimental station staff will shortly take up a very interesting and instructive line of work in obtaining the comparative values of the various Oregon clovers for feed ing purposes. The fats, proteins, carbo-hydrates, water, etc., in their relative propor tions, will be obtained from the samples. Altogether, thirteen different kinds of clovers with be analized The class in Zoology listened to a most interested lecture last Mouday, delivered by Prof. Washburn ou "Ancient Forms of Animal Life." This lecture took the place of the regular recitation. Prof, Pernot with the college magic lan tern made the lecture much clearer with the aid of numerous lantern slides, illustrating the various forms of ancient, animals. Prof. Craig and Prof. French loft for Sa lem ou Tuesday afternoon to attend a meet ing of the Oregon Dairy Association. Prof. French will deliver an address before the association on the relative values of different foods for dairy purposes. There is considerable dissatisfaction among the parents of the town boys who have to drill. It is claimed that it is neces sary for the person who cooks breakfast to get up three hours before daylight in order to get the students off te school in time to arrive before the drill hour. The only con - solation that we can think of is, that the students had better not go to bed at all. But soon the days will be longer and the mornings earlier, thus giving all students time to arrive after daylight. SOCIAL HAPPENINGS. The Social Whist Club met at Mrs. Robert Huston's last Wednasday in regular bi weekly session. The afternoon was delight fully passed in playing cards and concluded with refreshments. The next meeting will be at the residence of Mrs. W. T. Peet. From 3 until 6 o'clock Friday afternoon, Mrs, Robert Wilson entertained a few of her lady friends at her home. A screed prepared by Mrs. Bryson was read during the afternoon, creating endless amusement. Crokinole and anagrams, with dainty re freshments added to the pleasure of a charm ing afternoon. Saturday evening the Misses Lyford gave an informal card party. The evening so stormy outside was the very converse within the hospitable parlors. A novel guessing game of tha objects represented on a copper penny was the feature of the entertainment. Cards, dancing and refreshments were iu order until the hour of midnight which came too soon. PRESS COMMENTS. Following are some of the pres3 com ments upon Dr. Rowland Grant's lecture, "Life as" ab Art:"" Portland Evening Telegram: "It is sel dom that a Portland audienee has listened to so eloquent and entertaining au address as was delivered upon this occasion. Ev ery available seat in the tabernacle was oc cupied fully 2.500 people being in atten dance. Mr. Grant is an earnest and con vincing speaker, while at tho same time he is fairly bubbling over with eloquence and good humor." Oregon City Enterprise: "Mr. Grant is an orator of fine ability, who, while he pleases and instructs his audience, yet keeps before them the main thought and does not omit to impress by his logical de ductions the truths upon which he founds bis lecture. Should ho be billed to speak here ani.-i, he will not foil to have a large "house." Tress items on "Life as an Art:" "It is a splendid walk iu the gallery of beautiful things." "It is a liberal education to hear Dr. Grant's lecture on 'Life as ai Art.' " "It is not a lecture, but rather it is a series of musical "word-paintings " Retiring from Business.
