' At its meeting here last week, the State Horticultural Society elected the folinwi ig officers: President, H. B. Miller, Eugene; first vice-president, L. T. i Reynolds, alem; second vice president, Emile Schanno, The Dalles; seretary and treasurer, E. R. Lake, Corvallis. The iahed an I parts of it were sticking in the walls of the room. The Oreeouian recently asked the mayors of the principal towns of Oregon to make an estimate of the population of their towns and to review briefly progress since the census of 1890. A response from the seventeen principal towns of the state shows Corvallis to be 13th on the list, with a population of 2.000. Mayer Burnett said : "This estimate is based upon the state enumeration of. 1895 and the vote of 1898. While there has been no boom, the progress in improvements has been encouraging, and we hope for still greater progress in the near future." A movement is on foot among the remnant of what used to be the Marine Band of this city to organize a city band. Corvallis has been without an organiza tion of this kind lor over a year, and considering the former excellent bands we have had,- the absence of one has been sorely fell. It is believed that eight or ten competent musicians can be gotten together,, who, if they receive deserved support from the citizens and business men, will practice and furnish music when there is demand for it. . A meeting will be held this week with that end in view. The boys will furnish their own instruments and music, and will ask the city to provide a place for prac tice. Last Saturday morning while the C. & E. morning train for the front was being made np in the yards in this city, Con ductor Jas. McErlane, who was assisting in this work, met with a bad accident which will necessitate his being off duty for several weeks. He was climbing to the top of a large furniture car, and held in one hand a lantern and book. Just as he reached the lop, he missed his bold and started to fail, and' to avoid landing on his head, he turned and jumped. The . distance to the ground was about fifteen feet, snd as he landed squarely on his feet they were badly bruised. The right ankle was sprained and some of the small bones broken. He was carried into the car, and a tele giain sent to Albany summoning a physician to meet him at the depot. .cany lasi sunaay morning, alter an illness of ten days, against which the little sufferer battled bravely, the spirit of Grattan McFaddeu took its flight. Grattan was the youngest son of Mr; and Mrs. W. S. McFadden, a bright, sturdy little fellow of two and one-half years of age. The sL-kness which ended in his death began with convulsions, which became so violent that even the robust constitution of little Grattan could not survive them.' Monday afternoon, fu neral services were conducted at the family home by Rev. Stevens and Dr. Thompson. Many friends were present to witness these services and console the bereaved parents. They followed the hearse to the Odd Fellows' cemetery and saw the little white coffin which con tained all that was mortal of Grattan McFadden lowered to its final resting place. ' Ex-Senator J. H. Slater, who died re cently at La Grande, was a former Corvallis ' business man. Mr. Slater came to Benton county iu 1850, and resided in and near this city for several years. The first two ye.irs he ; engaged in teaching. Later he was appointed clerk of conrt by Judge Williams. He afterward entered the store of J. C. Avery as fellow clerk with E. llolgate. In 1855 he married the daughter of a Baptist minister of this coun.y, Miss Gray, and three years later was elected a member of the legislature on the demo cratic ticket. While in this city he served as postmaster and at one time published the "Oregon Union.". He moved to Baker City in 1862. In' 1870 he was elected to congress and served tivo years. In 1873 he was the success ful candidate for congress, his opponents being McArthur, Nesmith. Whitaker, j jonrneu anu stranau. r It was most unfortunate that the day selected by the Oregon legislature to visit the State Agricultural College, at this city, should give the worst exhibi tion of weather experienced in Corvallis in years. But such was the case, and when the excursion train of six coaches, which left Salem at 9:30 Wednesday morning, stopped at the entrance to the college grounds at 11:45, a blinding snow storm chilled all who alighted from the warm ears, and so obscured the college buildings and grounds that little idea and that for the employment of teachers. Since 1893,- the O. A. C. has not re ceived one cent from the state until the destruction of the mechanical hall. The present needs of the college are such that only means of supplying them is through legislative assistance,- and they are needs for discussion and inatter.i 1- t consideia- tion as will be beneficial ; and in order that this department of grange work may receive as much attention as possible the worthy master will upon the suggestion of the lecturer take it upon himself to ask the following committees to cc various acte. These needs are a heating plant, additional room in the chemical laboratory and a sewerage and water system. The legislature was invited visit the institution that the members might see for themselves the needs o the college, and be placed in a position could be gathered of their extent and i ? vote intelligently on any measure ask beauty. The warm reception the visitors ,UK lor an appropriation received from the students and citizens, however, tempered the chilling blasts, and they" good-naturedly made the best of the situation. The cadet battalion, headed by the college band, escorted the party, 367 in number, to the college chapel where ap propriate exercises were held.- .These opened with a national air by the Glee Club. At its conclusion, I. D. Driver, the venerable senator from Lane; "was asked to address the assembly. . His re marks were timely and nicely fitted to the occasion. - He said that in his capac ity as a legislator he was in favor of the strictest economy consistent with good business management of the state's af fairs, and if there was one dollar of surplus from any department he. believed that should be appropriated to the better ment cf our schools. The Agricultural College was doing a grand worK, and. was assured of his hearty support. , Speaker Carter, of the house of "repre sentatives, spoke briefly. He WdS, he: said, a warm friend of educational insti tutions and especially agricultural col leges, being a graduate of one himself. The education is the best today which instructs the hand as well as the mind a practical education and such colleges as the one located at this city was beat adapted for this work. After short toasts by President Taylor, of the senate, Speaker Carter, Senator Mulkey and Mr. Patterson, a student from Coos county, the guests departed for the depot where the train was wait ing to carry them back to Salem. iJCprvallis Grange. Senator Fulton, of Clatsop, was "Jovial J ancj they i uuu iuey never gave up until me kooq Charley" as usual good natured and ; seed sown ripened, and it was heralded sober minded.

The members of the legislature and their families were invited to Cauthorh Hall to partake" of the banquet which had been prepared for them,' while Other visitors were escorted to the city where pi o vision had been made for their dinner. Elaborate preparations had been made at Cauthorn Hall for the reception of the guests and the large dining room was elegantly decorated with ivy and tropical plants. Palms and ferns adorned the tables laden wilff a sumptuous repast, and behind a screen of palms and other plants the glee club and orchestra dis coursed sweet music. After a splendid chorus, "Merrily Goes Our Bark," by the glee club, Judge Mc Fadden, acting na toast master, made a few introductory remarks in which he called the attention of the visitors to the fact that the college was in no sense a ocal institution, but its boundaries were commensurate with the state of Oregon. The government provides every state with one institution dedicated to indus try, and in this state the Agricultural College is that one. , He asked John Burnett to respond to the toast "Our guests ; they are welcome.' After heartily welcoming the guests. Judge Burnett reviewed the objects of agricultural colleges, and the mighty in fluences they were to exert in civil and military life. Education should be the birthright of every man, he said. The O," A. C. offers the same opportunities for an education to the poor boy as it does to the child of luxury. President Apperson, of the board of regents, .responded to the toast, "The Agricultural College; its needs." He was given splendid attention and his statement of the needs of the college and the means devised for meeting them threw new light on the subject for euery one present;. In the rirbt place, he said, he wanted "il understood that his interest in the college was not of a local nature, for1 he lived in the northern part of .the state.

Last Saturday afternoon the Coryallis Grange held its regular installation of officers. A-large number were in at tendance, including visiting members from various granges, throughput the Willamette Valley. Judge R. P. Boise) formerly master of the state grange, de livered a short lecture upon the teachings of the order. The newly-installed master Professor J. B.

It was conditional, ana granted to eacn state 100,000 acres of land ; a condition being that interest accruing from money obtained from sale of this land, should be used to maintain agricultural colleges, i but it must be used for specific purposes. No part of it can be used for improve ments. In 1865 the legislature of Oregon ac cepted the conditions of the grant and the O. A. C. was established . The in terest now derived from the sale of Oregon lands is $11,000 annually. The Hatch act of 1887 grants $15,000 a year, but this can only be used for ex- JS perimentul purposes. It is provided.

Then, this grange is located at the farmers' educational center the State Agricultural College where the farmers, the fruit-growers, the mechanics the industrial classes in general should (or their own advancement as well as for the good of the state at large, assemble an nually in order that they may glean scientific information and discuss such topics as touch culture and bear upon higher industrial life. Here much is expected of us ; we reach all the industrial classes of the state, and our influence should be such as to exalt every interest of the honest toiler in whatsoever station he may be found. We are" so located, environed and edu cated that when necessary we should be ready to take the initiative in any move ment that improves the shops, the farms, the gardens, and the, castles of the people; and we as the members of this grange can and will bring on these move ments by the improvement of the shops, the fields, the srardena. and the homes which are the castles i of the people. This is genuine husbandry; it is good citizenship; it is ideal stateamanshio the statesmanship that results in larger crops, better prices, better homes, better neighborhoods, and purer society. We aa grangers need not therefore resort to partisan measures in the improvement of our conditions and the accomplish ment of our purposes as was common in the days of yore;. for. every thorough granger is an intelligent, true statesman developing his own possibilities while he is moving in thai higher plane of citizen ship where, every man is so loyal, patri otic and charitable;, that; ' be carefully examines the various phases of a question and weighs every possible interest before he permits' himself to criticise the acts of his government. This is the part of wisdom ; for the government is within us, and when we presume to rebuke to our government we merely reprove our selves. And it is one of the promising features of Corvallis Grange, a feature which of itself will sustain the grange amidst every obstacle; lor our grange consists of a class of men and women who are improving the country by im proving their farms, their orchards, their gardens, their shops and their homes ; and they are improving their government by improving themselves. This is cul ture;, this is patriotism; this is the mission of the grange. Inasmuch as Corvallis Grange repre sents a diversity of interests some ' of which are in danger of being overlooked unless special attention be given them, it will be advantageous to discuss these matters from time to time. The worthy master ventures the opinion that this grange will always welcome a profitable, timely discussion from any of its mem bers. It is hoped by, all that these meetings will be brightened with ad dresses on various topics and that the exercises will be sweetened with song and the music of instruments.

He caine forward voluntarily, and, as he declared, simply in the interest of fair play, thinking that Mrs. Moore should not be imprisoned, in view of the fact that she has not been convicted. Mrs. Moore's bail on the charge of badgering was fixed at $4,000, but in ad dition to this there is a charge against her of stealing e lver from the Waldorf hotel. Her bail in this case is $1,500. Campbell says, "I've started in this thing and I'll see it through if it takes $60,000 bail." Mr, Campbell was presented to Mrs. Moore in the Tombs. He is a big, bluff Irishman, famous for his philanthropy, and he has frequently befriended families in hard luck and allowed them to live rent free in his fiats.

So sudden was the illness that resulted in the death of Cameron Hemphill, that to many of his friends the announcement of his demise was their first knowledge that he was not enjoying. health. Being of a naturally strong constitution, when he was attacked by la grippe something over a week ago, bis parents . felt that the services of a physician were un necessary, and a few days nursing would restore .him to good health. But his condition continued to grow worse, and medical aid was summoned, but for Cameron Hemphill the hour had come and human skill was of no avail. At :15 Monday morning his spirit took its flight, and he was free from earthly cares and suffering. He was born at Warsaw, Ind., Fed. 22, 1861, and was the oldest of three children. In -1876, he came to Corvallis with his parents. He assisted in the manage ment of the Hemphill House, until seven ears ago when he succeeded his father as proprietor of the Corvallis Harness Factory, continuing in this position until his death. Funeral services were conducted at the family residence, Wednesday afternoon, by Dr. Thompson. A number of Elks from Salem, of which order he was a member, were in attendance and took charge of the burial service which oc cured at Crystal Lake cemetery. Wanted.

To have "700 dodgers or circulars struck off would have cost you at least $2.00. The ad cost you, say $1.60. But the advan tage don't end here. The paper is placed in the post office and goes into 700 homes, without extra cost to yon, where it is read by 3,500 persons. Suppose yon. had been able to secure a list of 700 names, which would be no easy matter, the postage alone would cost you $7.00 and your time and envelopes would add another $4.00, or a total of $13.00.
