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" 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."

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

due to carelessness of city, he thought the
bill should not be paid.

THIS, THAT AND THE OTHER
A Few Simple Things You
Mayn't Have Been Told.
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.

A PARASITIC FUNGUS.
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-

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.
