We are informed by the Enterprise that
the Riddle school girls parse kiss iu this
wise: "A kiss is a noun, though generally
used as a conjunction. " It is uever declined.
It is more common than proper. It is not
very singular and is generally used iu the
plural number and agrees with us." The
Corvallis girls' dictionary has it thus. A
vulgar word used to describe a formal greet
ing. Now obsolete, or only used among the
low and simple. A party simple.

store. Prof. J. B. Horner lias accepted an
invitation to deliver an address. The pro
fessor is an enthusiast on the suhj-ct of
educational work, and, being an especial
favorite with the good people of that pros
perous section of the county, he will, no
doubt be greeted with a large and apprecia
tive audience.
D. C. Rose returned from Portland Mon
day where, for the past two weeks, he had
been serving in the capacity of juror for
Uncle Sam. Mr. Rose was present during
the-recent trial of Lotan and Seid Back and
is firmly convinced that the defendants are
guilty and that the trial was a fair and
impartial one. He also says that, so far as
he was able to learn, public sentiment is not
with the papers of Portland, but that the
verdict of the jury was generally conceded
to be a jnst and proper one.
Prunes ! Prunes ! Who will put up an
evaporator for drying prunes aud other fruit
at Corvallis? There are prunes enough
within five miles of town to keep two or
three dryers running through the entire dry
ing season, and as yet no start is made to
erect even one. We invite anyone looking
f r a paying investment to investigate this
matter. Anyone seeing our trees, beuding
beneath their load of Italian prunes, will be
convince! that some money can be made by
putting up a dryer at this place.
A colt, a cart and two O. A. C. students
made up an outfit that started last Friday,
to Forest Grove. When ten miles down the
road, after a few vigorous kicks, the colt
parted company with the then demolished
vehicle, aud the boys were compelled to lead
the animal back to town. Here a rig was
secured in which they hauled back to its
owner the shattered remains of the cart,
arriving in town after nightfall.. Owing to
their prominence in social circles, the names
of Messrs. Gates and Downing, the princi
pals io the drama, are withheld.
That there are bright places in the experi
ence of brass band men even, was proven
last Thursday, when, after playing several
appropriate selections in front of the estab
lishment of Hodes & Hall, the Marine Band
was invited inside and treated to a sump
tious spread. No higher tribute could be
paid to the hospitality and liberality of the
above-named firm than the fact that there
was actually considerably left besides the
table, when those erstwhile gaunt-looking
musicians arose. After all had done their ,
utmost to completely annihilate all within
sight, Carl Hodes stepped to the telephone
aud coyly anuonnced: "Hello, Yunction !
The poys vant to sereuate you." Which
promise they proceeded to fulfill.
After ten years of active law practice in
Corvallis, Hon. S. T. Jeffreys recently con
cluded to enter a larger field, and with that
end in view, he took Monday's train for the
metropolis, where he will continue in his
chosen profession. At his home last Satur
day evening his contemplated departure was
made the occasion of a most happy social
event to members of the Corvallis bar and
their families. During the early part of
the evening, games, music and social con
verse were the order until 11 o'clock, when
delicious refreshments were served. After
luncheon short addresses, in which were ex
pressed sentiments in keeping with the oc
casion were made by W. S. McFadden, S.
T. Jeffreys, J. R. Bryson, John Burnett and
J. Fred Yates.
Saturday will be a gala day at Salem and
Corvallisitcs are going to be there to the
number of at least two hundred. The oc
casion is the first annual inter-collegiate
field day and college mea throughout the
state are taking an active interest in the
matter, and from each college town will go
a loyal contingent of its citizens whose
principal object will be to yell lustily for
their favorites. . The steamer Hoag, with
Capt. Bert Hatch ' at the helm, will leave
Corvallis promptly at 7 o'clock, reaching
Salem at 11:30. Returning she will leave
Salem immediately after the games are con
cluded and Purser Frank Powers says the
steamer will reaoh Corvallis between 12
and 1 o'clock. Fare for the round trip will
be 1. - A limited number ef tickets are
for sale, which can be had by applying to
A. S. Additon,
The ' Ki-ji" is a new thing under the sun
for bicyclists. It is a small rubber bulb
with a nezzel attachment and is used by
wheelmen in defending themselves against
vicious dogs. The bulb is filled with diluted
aqua amonia, which, when pressed, emits a
spray. This directed at the animal's face,
it is said, will teach his dogship eternal
reverence for all wheelmen in the future.
It is also stated that a "Ki-yi" will have
very mush the same effect on wheelmen
i N 'lt n doS' d that this novel lit-
tie device is becoming a great favorite with
pedestrians in Albauy, Salem, Eugene and
aud other valley towus, whera cyclists are
wont to claim the right of nay. Wheelmen
of Corvallis are different, however, aud con
sequently the "Ki-yi" will never meet with
ready sale among footmen in this city.
A business, for which there is a great need
in this vicinity, has been recently established
ia Corvallis. J. B. Franklin and his three
sons, all of whom are experienced machinists
have reopened the old Corvallis foundry,
and intends engaging iu the manufacture of
engines, saw mill and farm machiucry. Mr.
Franklin was born and raised in Pennsylva
nia. He came to Oregon about four years
ago, first locating in Oregon City. Later
he engaged in lumbering in Lane county,
but disposed of his interests there and
moved to Corvallis, where he hopes to re
main permanently. He leased the property
which he is now operating with the option
of buying same should he care to do so.
His action in this regard will depend largely
upon the amount of bnsiness during the
coming summer months. At present the
firm is crowded with work, and it is hoped
they will succeed. "
Superintendent R. F. Holm during the
past few weeks has been engaged in visiting
schools. Last week ha was a welcome
caller at several districts iu the southern
part of the county. In general, he finds the
schools doing good work. This is especially
true in those districts where the patrons and
directors are taking the proper interest in
the work. Mr. Holm reports that A. C.
Guthrie closed one of the most successful
schools last week ever taught in Monroe.
Unfortunately for the best interests f the
school, Mr. Guthrie will not be retained
another year, as he intends engaging in some
other field of labor in the future. Prof.
Gragg, at Bellfountain, and Mrs. Nelms in
the Barclay district, were each found to be
doing excellent work. Although this is
their first year at teaching, Misses Eva and
Sarah Carrier are meeting with splendid
success in their respective districts.
At a meeting of the board of regents of
Philomath college, held last week, it was
decided to add one member to the faculty,
making in all a corps of four teachers. The
departmentof music will be under the charge
M isa Bradford, who has been an instructress
in this branch during the past year. Mat
ters of considerable importance pertaining
to the institution are now being considered
by the board, which will meet again on the
10th inst. It is understood that an effort
will be made to increase the attendance very
materially during the coming year. With
its excellent facilities and complete equip
ment the college is in a position to do splen
did work. It has a competent corps of
instructors and there seems to be no reason
why by judicious advertising pnd earnest
solicitations the attendance of the school
could not be increased until it became one
of the leading and most efficient institutions
of learning in the state.
There are all kinds of bummers in Cor
vallis, but infinitely the worst of his class
is he who fakes his reading matter. At
noon when the daily papers are delivered,
as well as when the local papers are carried
to the business houses, it is usual to see, at
several of the stores, a number of bums on
hand ready to grab the paper from the car
rier's hand, and the subscriber, to avoid
any unpleasantness, is compelled to wait for
hit news until all his regular corps of read
ers have satisfied their wants. This matter
has assumed such proportions as to be
annoying in the extreme, and has caused
many complaints. Many of these bummers
are abundantly able to provide themselves
with readiug matter, and it is a burning
shame that they have so little pride and so
little consideration for the rights of ethers
as to so grossly infringe upon the good nature
of the patient and never-complaining busi
ness men. ' -.
J. L. Castle, the enterprising Portland
stock buyer, is planing to ship a trainload
of sheep next week to Chicago. He has al
ready purchared some two thousand head
for the' purpose, and by the 12th, expects to
have completed the purchase of from 500 to
1,000 more. He will then have a sufficient
number with which to load the alloted ten
cars that are to make up the train. Of the
2,500 or 3,000 head, a very large proportion
will be lambs. The mutton market has
been quite strong and firm in Chicago during
the past few month, and, though it will
cost 52,000 for freight alone, Mr. Castle
hopes to realizi a fair profit on the veatare.
At convenient points along the liue,whrs
good pasturage can be obtained, the train
will be stopped in order to allow the sheep
an opportunity to feed and rest. The train
will leave Portland on the 13th, probably
via the Northern Pacific, and it is Expected
that 12 or 14 days will be consumed in mak
ing the trip. Mr. Castle will be permitted
to carry five or six extra men to assist In
loading and unloading the cars, one of whom
will be George VV. Smith of this city. ',

TALKED ABOUT EVAPORATORS.
The increased interest manifested in the
Central Willamettee Fruit Union is indeed
encouraging. The subject of evaporators
was to be discussed last Saturday, and the
meeting was well attended, those present
being all actual fruit growers. Mr. Kurtz,
of Salem, patentee of theXurtz evaporator,
was present and spoke at considerable length,
giving the result uf .his experience in the
care and drying of prunes. The drying sea
sou, ho said, lasted hut 28 dajs. Many
growers were not prepared for the caring
for their crop. The burning question now
is: How can we save ami get cur money
Lack ou our orchards ? Prunes for drying
should be fully ripe. They should not be
bruised or carelessly handled, and better
results can be obtained by allowing the
prunes to stand for four or five days after
picking. He explained in a very lucid man
uer the fact that growers should strive to
excel in quality rather than quantity.
Poorly cured prunes, injured the trade and
brought no adequate return for the labor
and investment. - Mr. Kurtz was of the
opiaion that if prune raisers could get from
3J to 5 cents per pound, there was more in
prunes than in any other crop taken off the
grouad.
One fault the speaker fouud, was that
there was no harmonious action iu the
present system of evaporation. This was
thought to be essential. More money had
been lost in experimentation with evapora
tors than ia anything else in the- state.
When prunes were placed in a dryer they
should be gradually reduced to 165 degress
as the curing process is completed. There
was no such thing as a good prune eured-in
six hoors. In each 100 pounds of prunes
there exists 65 pounds of water, which has
to be drawn oat. This requires from IS to
28 hours to attain btst results. There is no
use in grading prunes, Mr. Kurtz thought,
uutil after they were dried. , He also stated
that full ripe prunes would dry at least 6
pounds more to the hundredweight'of greeu
fruit, than fruit not fully matured. Ho was
firmly of the- opinion that more money
could be made by dryiug oulyhe best fruit.
Small, scrubby stock should not be placed
on the market, as it injures the sale of the
entire crop.
Samuel Daw, of Halsey, was present and
made a few interesting statements, regard
ing his experience iu the growing, curing
and sale of dried prunes. He stated that
50,000 pounds was the estimated crop for
1S95, of Oregon Italian prunes. Ou this
accouut there is need for the consideration
of marketing the crop. After two or three
years, growers would have a market at
home, providing they gave proper attention
to the curing and grading of the first two
crops... He stated that in France 49's to
50's sold for 25 cents per pound, and that
the growers of that country were sending
their culls to America, for 7 cents per
ponnd, where they were mixed with Oregon
prunes and placed on the market as domestic
fruit. Mr. Daw stated that orchardists
about Eugene had made special efforts dur
ing the past to place their fruit on the mar-1
ket in the best possible condition, nd the j
good results of this are now being felt. Al
ready Eastern buyers have visited the grow-1
ers about Eugene, aud offered them 7 and 8
cents for this years crop. When we can
catch an Eastern customer for two years
we will have a market right at home.
A WOOI, AND BTJTTBR ITEM.
That there ia still profit in sheep raising
if properly attended to is proven conclu
sively by the experience of Geo, W. Smith,
who called at the Gazette office yesterday
and related the following experience: "I
have a four-year old ewe that a year ago
last February gave birth to two lambs.
Yesterday I sheared them and the com
bined weight of the three fleeces was 46. J
pounds, one of tho lambs, a buck, shearing
22 pounds. This wool at 12 cents per
ponnd is worth $5.53. The two yearling
lambs are worth 3 per head or G, in addi
tion to which I have two spring lambs
that will sell for at least $1 each. Thus, in
16 months, from one ewe worth, say, $2.50,
which I still have ou hand as the original
investment, I can show a profit of 14 58.
The cost of feed for the sheep was practi
cally nothing, as they had run on pasture
with the cow, and had received no special
attention. Mr. smith, however, is a
splendid judge of stock and all his animals
receive excellent care. He is now milking
a cow that is making a record as phenom
enal as that of the sheep related above.
Since March 15th, a period of 13 weeks, 15S
pounds of butter have been made from her
milk. During three weeks of this time her
calf took one half of the supply and during
all the time the cow has furnished Mr.
Smith's family with their cream and milk.
For the last month her butter output has
averaged 15 ponnds weekly, and on account
of its excellent quality has found ready sale
at 20 cents per pound, which,, most of the
time, has been in advance of the market
price. ' .
ANOTH&R IMPORTANT INDUSTRY.
Along the banks of the McKenzie, near
Eugene, there exists a peculiar kind of ar
gillaceous rock, the remarkable burnishing
qualities of which have attracted the
attention of some prominent residents of
that city who have organized a company
known as the Sunset Polish Co,, with E. J.
McClanahan, president, and our genial big
friend, K F. Willis of Wagon and Car
riage renown as vice president, aud have
erected a crusher and pulverizer and boxing
factory, giving employment to twenty six
people, and now the Oregon Tripoli is be
ing supplied to trade demands at the rate
of 10,000 boxes per day.
A careful analysis of the rock proves it to
be composed wholly of silica, being a de
posit of the cast shells of microscopic
animalculad, and fully equal to the im
ported article, which is produced in but
one locality as the name implies Tripoli,
on the African const of the Mediterranean,
and we hope for a most successful and pros
perous career for this distinctly Oregon en
terprise. - ,

TUB MAYOK'S MESSAGE.
Monday night the newly eleeted officers
and councilmen took their respective oaths
of office and donned their official robesfol
lowing which formalities the retiring mayor,
Hon. W. S. McFadden, in- eon form ity with
the laws of the city of Corvallis, read his
annual message. It is a carefully prepared
paper and the showing -therein made is
indeed creditable to the retiring executive
and the body over which ha has presided
during the past two years.
Tho matter of improvements is first taken
up. The mayor notes that the plan for
street work adopted in 1892 has in the main
been adhered to since that time, and the
recommendation is made that the plan
already adopted be followed year by year to
tho end that all portions of the city
j0
reached by these improvements. He further
recommends that the council levy each year
to the full extent of the charter limitation
for street work, as no other improvements
will conduce so greatly to the general bene
fit of the city and its citizenship. - By taxing
to the limit for this purpose a fund of about
1,800 will be raised annually,' the expendi
ture of which should be under the personal
supervision of the street committee and
under no circumstance should its authority
be delegated to other officials of the city.
Immediate steps were favored looking to
the funding of the indebtedness growing out
of the building of the city "hall. This in
debtedness now amounts to $10,000, upon
which the city is paying interest at the rate
of 8 per cent. The mayor believes it can be
funded at from 4 to 6 per cent., thu3 making
a net annual saving of many dollars in the
matter of interest, besides it will place the
city script at par among our own citizens.
Notwithstanding the depresssng times of
the past year the city has made a splendid
showing in its financial exhibit. A year ago,
including $1,000 interest on city hall war
rants, there was outstanding a total liability
against tho city of $18,447.30. Including
estimated accrued interest, tho total indebt
edness of the city June 3rd, 1895, was $18,-
532.39, against which there was in cash
on hand $2,773.63, leaving the net debt
$15,758.76, thus showing a reduction of
$2,688.60 in the city's liabilities for the past
twelvemonths.
From the report of the chief engineer is
noticed that the fire department is in a good,
healthy condition, and that the apparatus is
being well cared for. Regarding the fire
laddies the mayor said: "The city is to be
congratulated on-the zeal and energy that
has always characterized the volunteer Bre
men of this city and they should be encour
aged in all legitimate ways by the council for
their sacrifices so freely rendered in behalf of
the city." A recommendation was made that
at least five cisterns be placed at convenient
points in those portions of the city now with
out water supply and without fire protection.
Owing to the fact that all matters pertaining
to the purchase of the Corvallis water works
had been annulled by tho repealing of the
ordinances authorizing the purchase of said
works and the incurring of an indebtedness
of 50,000 for the' construction of new water
works, the mayor thought it essential that
the council formulate, at an early date, some
base of contract looking to the proper sup
plying of the city with water. In conclu
sion ho said:
"You owe it to yourselves and the general
public to conduce all in your part to cleanse
the city from all debasing and demoralizing
influences; and to that end it becomes im
perative that the wise laws which you have
enacted for the good of the public be vigor
ously enforced. As representatives of the
citv. no other consistent course, in view of
your oaths of office, is left you except to en
force the laws of the city as you find them.
"We have accepted the charter with the
provisions pertaining to saloons a3 given by
the legislature, and those holding licenses
to sell liquors have taken the same with full
knowledge of the fixed conditions connected
with the business.; hence, as law-abiding
men, no other course is left except either to
comply with the law or take the conse
quences which follow a violation thereof.
"You have ample law in the premises and
besides it is a public duty to maintain the
law and enforce it, without in any sense
masquerading behind the supposed duty of
tho state of Oregon in the premises. By all
those fairly advised it is a known fact that
the viola'-ion of the conditions ol tho liquor
traffic are very easily enforced by due course
of law and that speedily. "
A CORRECTION.
Onr information regarding the death of M.
P. Taylor seems to have been erroneous. The
result of our enquiries was .in type before
an autopsy was held, and believing same to be
reliable, no farther information regarding
the cause of Mr. Taylor's demise was thought
necessary. However, the post mortem ex
amination made by Dr.- Masten, of Albany,
assisted by Dr. Altaian, of this city, demon
strated tho fact that sooner or later the
patient would have died from the malig
nancy of the tumir. It showed that the
intestine, where it had been brought togeth
er by the Murphy button, had a perforation.
And that the failure of this button to pass
away was the immediate cause of death.
The place where the button had beau placed
panding the knitting topether of the intes
tine had entirely healed up, and the button
had started on its course out of the body,
but after proceeding a short distance, its
further progress was obstructed. Here the
button remained until gangrene set in, caus
ing decay of the mcmbraue, which burst,
allowing the abdominal cavity to fill with
gas and pus. This was the direct ca use ot
death.

that I aiut bin able to- filosouse fer two

offis, do it ou fiiosfikel principels git a man
like me to leg fer you. Dident both uv the
city papers pull fer the boys that win

lve got a rite to celebrate, and I alius take
advantage nv ray rites. Pan Avery rua fer
councilman and got skooped. He mite hev
knono it fer hees disqualified fer that offis.
He pays too ratseia taxes. Taint fair fer the
men that pay th taxes to hev the say az to
how they shall ho spent. That's hoggish.
I believe is the division uv labor. Let the
men that kant kontribate to the city rove
nuze ds something fer the town. Let the
peeple that kaa kontrib&te, kentribute, but
let the peeple thai kant koatribute, distrib
ute. Thats fair astd gives us au a show.
But the eleckahuns over. Itz a stale sub-
jekt now. The suns a shinen as brite fer
them that -opt licked as them that got
elvkied, and S pence? keeps on shaven.
We are goau to nave- a 4th uv July if we
can raze the silver, and weal tramp around
all day with onr wives and kids, a eaten
dust and drinken lemonade, aud gotten our
toes tramped on, and standen behind sum
big man so we kant see the rases, and have
a fine time generally. If we kant raze the
stuff, weal skip the fourth.
ECO FOR- PRINBVII,I,E.
Norris Newton, accompanied by Oscar
Waggoner, Lee Wells and Otis Heukle,
started for Prineville oa Taesday. The

Newton drives a team carrying a full sup
ply of provisions, camp outfit, eta The

a location on which they may grow up with
the country and build a home for the girls

timable citizens and we hope they will suc
ceed in their new field.
A CELEBRATION ASSURED.
The question of having a 4th of July cel
ebration at Corvallis is now definitely set
tled. At a meeting of the general commit
tee, held Tuesday evening, the finance com
mittee reported that $350, or thereabouts,
had been subscribed, It was thought this
sum could be increased to $400, and upon
this basis the arrangements for the celebra
tion are beine made. Many special and
novel features that cannot fail to be of inter
est and a pleasure to both old and young are
assured. At present it is impossible to give
a list cf the attractions, but the committee
is busily engaged in making up the program
which will be announoed at the very earliest
possible date. Tuesday evening Mrs, J. M
Nolan, Mrs. F. L. Miller, Mrs. A. F. Alex
ander. Mrs. S. L. Kline, Mrs. Thos. Calla
han, Miss Mollie Bergin and Miss Gussie
Turney, were appointed a special committee
to arrange the exercises of tho children, and
