The project of a good and com petent lruit cannery lor Aiuany has been on the tapis lor a num ber of weeks, and seems to be in a fair way of being consumatetf, The arrangement is to bring here the entire raachineiy of the can ning establishment of Hon. Allan Parker, which, at a nominal cost can be changed into a number one fruit canning establishment. A gentleman who is thoroughly ex perienced in the business has al ready indicated that he will come and take charge of the work, aud A large proportion of the stock has already been subscribed enough to plainly indicate that it will he success. The advantages, of a cannery need not be enumerated for they ar apparent, not onlv in the direction of giving employ ment for many people and an ex Calient investment for money, but also for extending and creating a market for all kinds of fruits, ber ries and vegetables. The farmers as well as our city business men should take stock in the business and help to make it a success for it would create an industry that would pay big returns. Latter List.

A Ftrnir Citiiti of Albaay Taktt Hli Ova Lift ia ftrtlaia. The news of the suicide of Nathan Baum in Portland Mon day evening was received in this citv vet-tiidav with profound re gret and surprise. The particulars of the unfortunate affair, as pub Halted in the Oreeoman, are as fol- lows: A black crape hangs from the front door of the Baum resi dence. No. 235 Yamhill street, to-dav as an evidence of death and mourning. N. Baum, the senior member of the firm of Baum & Brandes. lies dead within. He died about seven o'clock last evening from the effects of a pistol wound that is believed to have been self-inflicted. The news of Mr. Baum's death spread rapidly on the streets, and for a while the First street res taurant and confectionery store of the firm was closed. It was as much of a surprise to the business Dublic of Portland as it was a shock to his family and friends, He had been in his usual good health, his family relations were the most pleasant, and no one thought he had financial troubles that would cause him to take his own life. He stood well in finan cial circles, had a host of friends, and financial reverses, if any he had, his friends claim shjuld not have induced him to take his own life. Mr. Baum left his restaurant on First street about six o'clock last evening and took dinner with his family and several friends. While at the table he chatted pleasantly and appeared in the best of spirits. seven Dinner was over about seven o crock, and as was bis usual custom he lit his cigar and went up stairs. He had hardly been out of the room a minute when Mrs. Baum heard a report up stairs. She thought a window had dropped, and went up to investi gate, and her surprise can be imagined when she found her hus band Ivinir on the floor of the bath room, with blood and the brains oozinirout of large hole through the head. A 38-caliber pistol, with one chamber discharged, lay near the head on the floor. Mrs. Baum nearly went into hysterics so great was the shock, and her screams attracted the rest of the family. Although Mr. Baum was dead, several phvsi- cians were sent lor, and nnany Coroner River. At the request of the family, no inauest was held. The physicians agreed that she had committed suicide, although many of his friends refused to believe it, say ing that he accidentally shot him self. It is said that he had 'oet money recently at the gaming table. The deceased was 46 years of age and leaves a wife, a beautiful daughter Emma, aged 17, and two sons, Sol and Joseph, aged vu and 15 vears respectively, tie has been in Oregon since 1863, and in business in Portland for about ten vears. I e was at one time county clerk of Linn county and was a prominent merchant Albany for many years. Bnpranaa Oaart C The case of J. W. Gaines st al., appellants, vs. Linn county et al. respondents, and the case of J. w. Gaines and Louis Stringer, appel' lants, vs. Linn county, respondent, were both decided in the supreme court last Monday. These cases are of special interest to the citi zens of Santiam and Scio pre cincts, as sixty-four of the appel Ianta are residents there, lhe cases were taken from the county court of Linn county to the circuit court by writ of review, Mr. tr . Wright, of this city, being at torney for the appellants. The circuit court deciding adversely, they, bv advice of Mr. Wright, appealed to the supreme court. Alter many days of bard work in gathering and briefing the law applicable. Mr. Wright was nat urally much pleased at winning ootii cases in the supreme court. and in reversing the decision of Judge Boise, of the circuit court, and as well knocking out, figura tively speaking, the legal talent who were attorneys for Linn county.

Shaw, chemist of the Oregon Agricultural Col leu experiment station, has just issued a circular to the farmers of the state, giving a list of questions re lating to the natural charactens tics of the soil, which, if answered. will furnish the college with a vast amount of information, which, when arranged and digested, will be published in such form as to be valuable not only to residents of the state, but also to intending settlers and ti capitalists seeking investments for their wealth. Professor Shaw's circular and the questions are here given, so that any farmer who fails to receive a copy ol the circular, and who may feel so disposed, may answer them and thus add to tbe store of lnlor mation sought All replies should be addressed to G. W. Shaw, chemist, experimental, station, Corvallis, Ore. Following is the circular : Tbe circular is issued for the purpose of securing mors definite information concerning the agn cultural features of the various portions of state, in order that the various tola, mineral localities and mineral waters may be prop erly located and ciassined, lead ing to the preparation of a correct agricultural and mineral map of the state. It is of inestimable importance to the state that a full and correct knowledge of the agri cultural and mineral resources bo thoroughly investigated, collated and given to the public in such form as may be of value not only to the present residents of the state, but to the many persons in the east who are desirous of ascer taining the triuh concerning these matters before venturing to locate on this coast. Work is now under way at the station to gather such information from all possible sources, and pre liminary experiments are now be ing made to ascertain the physi cal and chemical nature of the various soils. At present the station has not funds to enable it to send men into all parts of the state, nor even to establish branch stations at ya riouB points, and so there is a con stant and increasing call to fur nish information regarding the best agricultural practice in this state, tbe question very naturally arises, "By what process shall the needful knowledge of climate and soil conditions be acquired?" So far as the first is concerned, pro vision has already been made by the state weather service, whose investigations and reports are dis seminating much valuable infor mation, lo aciuire the balance of the data, however, it has been thought best to urge the co-opera- lion oi an larmers and those in forested in the agricultural and mineral resources of the state. In order to be of value the work must be very carefully and svste matically done, and although it would takea few.men,working inde pendently, a locg time to a auire a limited knowledge of the subject in uanu, yet Dy a uearty co opera- tion of residents of the state and the station force, it is hoped that much valuable information may be secured. In this agricultural survey it is intended to include all points that should be of interest to the farmer, either direct or in direct, and with this in view it is intended to investigate, so far as time will permit, the mineral re sources. Including the waters.both mineral and irrigating. These investigations are made for the benefit of the state at large. They will be put in proper form for circulation, and all who desire copies ot the publications as they appear from time to time will be furnished the same free upon application. In order to obtain the desired information, circulars containing a list ol questions, answers to which are desired, will be issued from time to time, and we ask that you answer these as fully as possi- Die, ana in audition send us all data that you may think of inter est in this work. The amount of information along these lines that can be dis seminated by the station depends largely upon the little aid received iroui each one, which in the aggre gate win amount to a large store of information.

The 1891 contingents of the ap praising parties which the Oreg n & California land department send out over tbe state every year have made their report. The wave of immigration which set in here about three years ago was the means of pouring in upon tbe rail' roaaa vast numDer ot mournes from intending and actual settlers as to prices. To most of these tbe lind agent was obliged to return the answer "not yet appraised Parties of appraisers were at once started out, and have gradually been reducing the list of unknown lands. Another five years' work will clean them all np. These parties have been out this year and have examined in all 365,000 acres, some of it is valuable will be sold for $2.50 an acre, Two sets of appraisers were in the yalley and their operations were mostly confined to Benton, Linn and Lane counties. The land is chiefly in the foothills and consists of small valleys running up into uuard. A Bit of History, Oregonian note and comment says that several papers have pub lished a statement thatJ.H. Stme, editor of tbe Whit sen Advance, who was murdered by a crazy man in Yamhill county about two weeks ago, was the first newspaper man ever killed in Oregon. This is incorrect. A newspaper man named McDonald was editing the Telegram in this city -in 1878, and one J. K. Mercer was an employe of the Bee, owned by w. s u nap- man. The papers were blackcuan ing with each other, and one day Mercer met McDonald on the cor ner of First and Stark streets, shot and killed him with a bull-dog revolver, McDonald having been also armed. Mercer was convicted only of manslaughter and sen tenced to fifteen years in the peni tentiary. After about three years' imprisonment, be was pardoned on condition that be leave the state. till TJaballevlDg;. An Olympia scientist measured a big fir tree the other day, and found it to be slightly over 300 feet high. Intending to send the report of the measurement to a mend in Cleveland, O., he wished to add other testimony to his own, and invited a minister of the gospel to measure the tree. The result was sent to the Ohio man, who, im mediately upon its receipt, accord ing the Olympian, sent this dis patch: "We read Munchausen when a ooy." ine scientists now wonders whether the bulk of the joke is upon himself or upon the preacher. Unhappy Marriage Halations, Sheriff Matt Scott returned yes- teruay from Harrisburg with the 15-year-old son of H. H. Davis, of this city. This was done on a sworn complaint from Mrs. Davis alleging that the boy had gone to Harrisburg witb tbe intention of accompanying his father, from whom she is separated, to uanior- nia. The boy win remain with his mother, who resides' at Leb anon, until tbe matter is settled in the courts. A suit to dissolve the bond of marriage existing be tween the above parties is pend ing.
