have money and we will all be happy.
Assessor Alexander is again confronted
with the bank stock problem. President
Woodcock, of the First national bank,
insists upon having his 415 shares of
stock assessed at :i more than 41 per
share, while the assessor maintains his
right to fix the valuation, which lie has
pl.iced at f75. The county board of
equalization whose meeting commences
September 27, will have its time Jargely
occupied wb h the matter.
Nobody need complain ol poverty in
Hen ton county. Chances to work are
rampant and even occasional hobos
hardly escape the demands of labor em
ployers. The grain harvest offers oppor
tunities at $1. 35 per Jay. Fruit pickers
get from $1 to $1. 50 per day; packers a
little less. Hop pickers earn from 30 to
40 cents a box. Fruit and hop picking
furnish opportunities for a pleasant and
remunerative outing.
The Agricultural College opens Sep
tember so. Over 400 inquiries, for the
most part from prospective new students,
concerning board at the halls, have been
received. This would indicate that the
attendance this year will be cl-se to 600.
Many of the coming students wish to
partly maintain themselves while at
school, and citizens who can give them
work, whether to be paid in board or
mou :y, will confer a favor upon the em
ployment committee, consisting of Pres
ident Gatch and Profs. Horner and

Wm. Gird, the philosopher of Lon g
Tom, was in the office one day this week.
The philosopher is puzzled- The mys
tery which he commented upon, "not
necessarily for publication, but as a guar
antee of good faith," is this: There is a
person living in his neighborhood who
toils not, neither does he spin, and yet
he seems to excellently maintain his be
ing. He lives in a slough, and is known
as "Slough Taylor." He has 'jumped"
same 45 acres of Brace's slo-gh land, but
all season has not worked 25 days. "The
Honorable Mister Slough Taylor," re
marked the philosopher, "frogs iu the
winter and 'deer tracks' in the summer."
Any philosopher will probably under
stand the pertinency of that expression.
The origin of animal life," continued
philosopher Gird, "vis no more myster
ious than its preservation in such cases
as that of my afore mentioned neighbor.
I can't comprehend it." None of the
exchanges in the office shed any lighten
the matter, and the philosopher retired
with an abstracted air and one of our
lead pencils also abstracted.
Judge O. N. Denny, of Lafayette, was
in Corvallis tuts week on a visit to roe
Oregon Agricultural College. His prin
cipal object was to welcome President
Gatch aad family back to Oregon. Judge
Denny is an old. pupil of the president,
having attended the Willamette univer
sity in the early 6b's, and is delighted
that the professor is again in charge of
an important Oregon institution. Both
gentlemen greatly enjoyed the meettng.
Judge Denny says that the selection of
Mr. Gatch as presideut has made strong
friends for the institution all over the
state. "He is oue of the most scholarly
aud capable men that could have been
selected for the place," said Mr. Deuny,
"and while he is at the head of the insti
tution it will in no way be tainted with
politics." Judge Deuny owns a large
ranch in Yamhill county and this year
has a crop of 4000 bushels of wheat be
sides several hundred bushels of oats.
He is also going into orcharding quite
extensively and now has 115 acres -in
prunes, 14 acres in Royal Ann cherries
and several acres in other fruits. Judge
Denny will long be kindly remembered
by Oregon sportsmen as the introducer
of the pheasant known variously as
the Denny, China, mongolian and ring
neck.

WEALTH IN ORCHABDS.
Benton County's Fruit an Im
portant Source of Revenue.
The supremacy ot grain in Ben
ton county is threatened. Fruit
will be king. The products of
the field, within a few years, will
br'ng less money into this locality
than the products of the orchard.
Already the fruit harvest is oi
considerable magnitude and , the
shipments this year are in carload
lots. There is a magnificent fu
ture in Benton lor the yields of
of vine aud tree.
Fruit raising has outgrown the
negligence and haphazardness of
former years. It is a business
and engage the careful attention
of intelligent capable men. Hor
ticulture as a science hassupersed
eil scrubby -orcharding. The re
-uli- are already apparent.
'lhe importance this industry
has attained in Benton county
within ft few years is astonishing.
Prunes have chiefly absorbed the
consideration of growers, but
pears, peaches, applies and smaller
fruits hate not been neglected.
The first, thing that strikes the
attention of. a visitor to the or
chards iu the southern part part ol
the county, is the absence ol rail
road facilities. Here is a small
empire, possessing the richest ol
land, producing magniliceut gram
and fruit crops, peopled by inteili
gent, active and prosperous ci I i
zens, and yet so far, left severely
alone by two railroad linen, either
olio of which by laying 40 miles
of track on an easy route could
control its immense business. The
fruit inierests of this section are
! great. A Uazettk representative
visited a few of the orchards this
week and found the owners happy
over a good crop, but in doubt as
to its disposal. .
Trof. E. B. McElroy, of the
state university, has a splendid or
chard near Monroe. It is very
favorably loc ted and has been
well cared for. The farm contains
440 acres of rich rolling land. Of
this amount 100 acres are under
cultivation and 330 acres have
been slashed and pastured down
with a band of 400 goats, and in
another year wili be ready for the
plow. During the time Mr. Mc
Elroy has owned the place lie has
turned all the rents and other rev
enues of the farm back into bet
terments and the ranch with its
many substantial improvements
now represents . an outlay of sev
eral thousand dollars.
Everything about lhe place
hows thrift and enterprise. He
has ii large painted barn 52xllS
feel , looa I e I .-onie d isl a nee from
the d welling on an elevated spot
and is splendidly drained Xnvm all
sidfr-s. The dwelling is a large
roomy structure and with its beau
tilul location, together with the
numerous s'jade and fruit trees
surrounding it, presents an invit
ing appearance and is really an
ideal country -home.
Prof. McElroy has 20 acres of
orchard on his place, or something
over 3000 trees, about two thirds
ol them being six years old. Of
this number 1200 are Italian
I runes, 1000 Petite unities and
the balance are peaches, Bartlett
pears and cherries. The orchard
has been under the direct super
vision of Mr. Geo. Snyder, who
has displayed a deal of energy
and intelligence in the pruning
and cultivation of troes. There i
no orchard in Benton county, to
lar as the writer has been able
to judge, that will compare with
it in the size of fruit. The yield
will be something remarkable.
Twelve hundred six-year-old Ital
ians, it is estimated, will bear not
less than 3000 bushels this year,
which is certainly an extraordin
ary yield for trees the age of these.
The nearest railroad shipping
point is Junction, ten miles dis
tant, so Mr. McElroy has about de
cided to dry his fruit this year.
Some fiv miles distant from
Mr. McElroy 's place is located the
the Bellfonntain orchard with 156
acres in fruit and the Excelsior
prune farm with 2200 trees. The
latter orchard will not come into
bearing for a year or two yet. The
Bellfotiutain people will have
between 4000 and 6000 bushels of
Italian prunes this season and are
erecting an Allen dryer to handle
the crop. 'About one-half the or
chard is planted in Bartlett pears
and winter apples. lhe soil is
well adapted to the growing of
thest fruits and the orchard has
reat possibilities. The majority
ol the owners are Corvallis citi
zens, and they have a fine proper
iv that is bound to pay handsome
ly.
The orchard of Hugh Finley,
the pioneer prune grower of Ben
ton county, is well worth seeing.
He has 2000 prune trees nine and
seven years old that will bear this
year not less than 5000 bushels.
Owing to Mr. Finley's being con
siderable distance from railroad he
has concluded to dry all his fruit
He has two Kurtz dryers, erected
two years ago by Henry Stone
Mr. Stone, who has had extensive
experience in handling fruit, will
again superintend the drying of
Mr. Finley's fruit this year and it
will keep him busy, for the crop of
prunes dried, will weigh not less
than 100,000 pounds. Mr. Finley
believes that the market for dried
fruit will be better this year than
for the past two or three seasons
and expects that a good quality of
dried prunes will sell at from four
to 6ix cents per pound. ,
Another splendid orchard is
that of . the Herron brothers ad
joining Mr. Finley's orchard. They
have 30 acres of prunes and
peaches, mostly prunes, however.
Sixteen acres are seven years old
and will yield probably 3,500
bushels of prunes, in addition to a
large amount of peaches. They al
so have a Kurtz dryer, and besides
their own fruit they will dry ' a
large quantity for their neighbors,
charging for this service one-third
of the fruit,or one cent per pound.
The Herron brothers are energetic,
intelligent young men and are sure
to become wealthy. They will
have this year 3500- bushels of
wheat, which, with the - income
from their orchard, will net them
a snug sum.
Casper Zierolf and sons have a
12-acre prune orchard near the
Willamette river, about 11 miles
south of Corvallis, that comes into
bearing this year. Their trees are
planted iu rich ground and have
been well cared for. They have a
dryer and will cure their own
fruit, and will also dry fruit lor
sointt of iheir neighbors. ; ".
One of the bwt smalt orcAauN
in iho cotintr- is that ol Julge
Burnett. It is luraied a unlet
south ol -town near the dam On
Marys river. It consists of fifteen
acres, has been well attended to
and this vear.'wUl vield Iwtweeil
1000 and 2000 bit' hels of prunes,
besides a goodly number of bush
els of peache., pears and other
vaiieties of fruit. The Judge
shipped several hundred crates of
Italian prunes in the car which
left here last Saturday, and all
week has had a force ol fifteen
persons employed in picking and
packing prunes. Over a. half car
of prunes from his orchard were
shipped Wednesday, and another
large lot goes out oh the car that
leaves here to-morrow.
D. C. Rose is also the possessor
of a fine young orchard near Cor
vallis. It is located a mile and a
IkiIi southwest ot town on a south
slope and has 1700 trees four and
six years old. Of this number
1100 are Italian prunes, and the
balance are apples, cherries, silver
Diunes and Bartlett pears.- Mr.
Rose has personally superintended
the planting, pruning and cultiva
tion of the trees; and a finer lot
would be hard to find. Itst Sat
urday he shipped 120 boxes of
Bartlett pears from his orchard.
They were exceptionally large,
were well packed and should sell
at a fancy price. Mr. Rose esti
mates that he will have four car
loads of lruit this year.
Norm Lilly has a youg orehard
aud is shipping several hundred
crates of prunes this season. D.
Carlile has several hundred trees
of assorted varieties near the Ca
tholic ci'tuJteiy. . He isTshTpping
his prunes green, and will derive
considerable revenue frmrj his or
chard, this year. Other growers
with small orchards near town are
E. B. McElroy, with 15 acres of
prunes; F. Hershner, 7 acres as
sorted varities now in bearing; J.
N. Brandeberry, 8 acres bearing
prunes; John 'Wells, 3 acres assort
ed varities; B. W. Johnson, 5 acres
prunes; Albert Harrington, 6 acres
of assorted Iruits; Jesse Irvine, 10
acres, mostly apples, cherries and
small fruits; T. C. Case also lias a
bearing orchard of 10 acres just
outside of the eity limits and will
have a large amount of prunes.
He is shipping some green, but ex
pects to dry the bulk of them.
John Rowland has several hun
dred young -prune trees near Mr
Case's orchard and estimates his
crop this season at 600 bushels. -
In the Fairmount precinct there
are about 400 acres devoted to or
chards, besides a large area in
small fruits. The fruit interests
in this vicinity are probably more
diversified than elsewhere in the
county. The chief growers are
Messrs Moore, Pretty man.Hoim an,
Cogill, Mayberry, Sox, Schimer,
Brownson, Culver, Ruse, Stahl
and Kellv. Mr. Moore has 55
acres, one-half in prunes, the bal
ance in apples and pears. John
Reese has 700 trees and Mr. Kelly
1000. The writer did not obtain
figures from the other gentlemen.
Mr. C. F. Culver makes a speci
alty of small fruits and vegetables
He marketed this year 15,000
boxes of strawberries and ; so far
has sold 1000 melons. He has 2,
000 boxes of dried blackberries,200
pounds ot blackcap raspberries
and 1000 pounds of dried apples.
Mr. Culver is setting out 20 acres
in black raspberries, and will dry
the crop. He obtained 28 cents
oer nound for those he had this
vear and he has never known
them to bring less than 23 cents
He claims that he can realize as
many pounds of the dried product
as he could were it iu hops, ltiey
are less expensive to grow and can
be dried for lesi than hops.
Geo. Howe, who resides
Brownsville, has a large farm

the leading horticulturists of the
state and a recognized authority
on fruit matters, is the superin
tendent of this splendid property.
The orchard contains 156 acres
planted wholly to prunes, and has
something over 16,000 bearing
trees. This is the first crop of
nv considerable importance that
the trees have borne, and from
5000 to 8000 bushels will be har

- v representatives Tongue and Ellis,
; ianu commissioner winger Herman ana
j a delegation of citizens, will take a trip
up to the O. C. & E. frviit. and inspect
the great lumber industry of the Cascade

to visit Yaqnina bay, but Mr. Hooker's
time is limited, so he will be shown the
resources of the harbor and the business
that cau be accommodated by the further
improvement at Yaquina, and Congress
Tongue will explain the condition of

this week and Wednesday was tendered
a reception by the Union league club.
Among those present was S. L. Kline, of
Corvallis. The Congressman's visit is of
great importance, and is it highly desir
