make the butter and dispose of it them
selves. Creameries are doing a much

There is a decided movement among
Benton county farmers to direct more of
their attention to the thoroughbred stock
business. In cattle, sheep' and goats
there are in the county a very large num

larger number, perhaps, to the number of
farmers in the county than in any other
county in the state and the importation
of fancy animals is continually in pro
gress. Caleb Davis received for addition
-to his geat herd, on Monday past, a fine
Angora buck,' from the famous J.. G.
Hogg herd in Iowa. He is a fine, mag
nificient buck, costing $75 at his home,
and adding to this his railway fare and

Ninety thousand dollars will be paid
this season to those who cultivate the
,300 acres of sugar beets in the valleys,
says the La Grande Chronicle. This is
based on the estimate, given by the fac
tory people, of a yield of 20,000 tons at an
average of $4.50 per - ton. As a whole
possibly the beet growers will not make
greater profit than the wheat growers.
However, this season places the success
ful growing of beets beyond the experi
mental stage, and from this on beets will
be one ot our'chief pioducts.
During the past week we have had
some genuine webfoot fog ; not that thin,
pale stuff that hangs sickly around in the
air in such a manner as to make one
ish it would either rain or clear up, but
Webfoot fog is fotf. It is that kind of
material which posesses. the power to
creep into any crevice that will hold a
grain of sand; and below town in the
river bottoms it rushes iato the rooms
when the doors are opened and the
housewife has to wrap the thick stuff a -
round a broomstick and carry it out of
the house in that manner. It is a slow
process but the only sure one in the end.
But then our afternoons have been
beautiful and we therefore have no com
plaint to make. :
In June of next year the people of the

fifty thousand enumerators to take the

in July, 1900.. That means that about
seventy-five million people must be re

be even greater than this, however, for

Hop Growers Association.
An organization that will prove of im
mense value to the hop men of the state
is the Oregon Hop Growers Association.
This body has recently filed its articles of
incorporation and will be from lience-
forth a permanent organized body. The
corporation proposes to engage in buying
and selling hops and to act as agent and
broker for other persons or corporations
in the purchase and sale of hops; to buy
lease, sell or dispose of sucIl. other per
sonal property and real estate as may be
found advantageous in the management
of the business of the corporation : to
build, purchase, require or lease ware
houses and to engage in the business of
receiving heps and other personal prop
erty on storage or consignment; to lend
money and extend credit to persons in
the business of raising hops . upon such
terms as the board of directors may from
time to time approve. The corporation
has a capital of $8,000, divided into
shares of the value of $2.50 each. J, W.

Spooks And Spirits.
Halloween has come and gone and as
usual the spooks and spirits that are
wont to rove about on that particular
ight made their appearance in Corvallis,
though the deviltry they did this time
was of much milder form than usual.
This was due to the fact perhaps, that a
stricter vigilance over gates, fences,
woodpiles and old sidewalks was kept
than common, and to the effect produced
by the intelligence being noised about
the day before that the nightwatch would
assisted by a dozen or-more black-
horse deputies on Halloween night. ' A
few sign boards were exchanged, and
quite a string of sidewalk was overturned
in Job's Addition. Out at the collleee
Wednesday morning, a gravel wagon
was found posing on the big rostrum in
the 'chapel. How it got there no one
seemed to know, but it was there and
the janitor found it necessary to employ
the aid of a large force of men to get the
wagon back 'down the stairway. There
were pigs too in some of the recitation
rooms squealing impatiently for their
breakfast when the professors came to
take charge next morning. Other mis
chief was done over all parts of town
but it was light and no one seems sorry
of it.
A Unanimous Verdict.
Reports from all of Oregon's principal
towns agree that they are prospering as
they have not done for years, if ever be
fore. From booming Baker City and
smaller Ontario, in the extreme eastern
edge of the state, to Astoria and Tilla
mook, on the western coast; from the
Dalles, overlooking the Cascaded Colum
bia, to Ashland, the metropo'is of the
fruitful valleys f meuntain-encircled
Southern Oregon ; from Pendleton, in the
midst of its Jar-stretching and fertile
fields, to the towns of remote Klamath
laud, the story is the same : Town grow
ing, business good, no vacant stores or
houses, shools crowded, everybody at
work if he chooses to be, and with money
unless through his own fault, population
increasing, plenty all around, loads of
money in the banks, poorhouses vacant
and jails nearly so. From whatever
town a man comes, he is ready to declare
that this is the best conntry on earth,
that Oregon is' the best state in the Union
and that he lives in the best town in the
state. And, barring a little possible and
pardonable exaggeration in the latter
statement, he tells the truth. Evening

Bis Meetinif, Saturday.
. Sotr ronrlor. re VOU a Granger? Did
j - j - .
you evar attend a meeting of the farmer
and join with them in their discussion of
home questions? And have you had
the privelege of enjoying one of those
basket dinners, where pumpkin pie, ana
sandwiches aad pickles prevail, where
there are so many edibles the tables
trrnan with their tempting burden and
where all was enjoyment, merriment an
good will? Possibly you have not real
ized all this, and if you have not, you are
deserving of pity. ;.'-' -
Out at the armory last Saturday morn
ing the Granger assembled. The meet
incr was of unsual interest "Butter"
was the thome, and the members talked
butter" both pro and con. They talked
good butter, and bad butter fresh and
stale, they talked butter until one could
nearly taste it and the subject was made
a most interesting one from the hearty
suDDort that was given in its discussion
by the several members.
Prof. Kent, of the dairy department of
he cnHecre was the principal speaker on
this subject. He said in part:
Any interesting creameryman will ad
mit that it is possible to make just as
cood and sometimes better butter on the
farm than can be made in the creamery.
But this same creameryman will not ad
mit that it is of tern done. It is to be ex
pected that among the halt h undred or
more patrons of a creamery there will be
some who are careles3 in handling their
milk, and since the cream from the milk
of all the patrons is eventfully mixed to
gether, the milk of the . careless pat
rons will detract from the quality, of the
cream of those who take proper care of
their milk. But occasionally rejecting a
few cans of the worst milk the creamery
man is able to produce a grade of butter
superior to that which the majority of
his patrons would make if they were to
work up their own milk.' The creamery
bnttermaker should be and generally is
a man who understands his work. With
him the making of butter is his sole oc
cupation, not 'merely a side line as is
usually the case with the busy housewife
who makes butter on the farm. Churn
ing cream at the proper degree of ripe
ness, as the buttermaker expresses it, is
one of the most essential points in the
production of first class butter, and with
his ability to controlrthe conditions under
which the cream is placed the creamery
buttermaker is able to churn his. cream
at just the proper stage of ripeness, thus
getting the highest flavor an d the most
exhaustive churning. On the farm most
of the cream is churned when either to
ripe or : not ripe enough (usually the
former) and considerable loss is. sustain
ed both in Butter fat left- iu the butter-
mil and in the- flavor of the butter.
In judging butter the flavor' counts for
nearly one-half of the points, hence any
little defect in flavor will materially re
duce the grade, and it is largely on the
score of flavor that creamery butter ex-
cells dairy butter. , The prejudice against
the ase of artificial color In most cases,
and the excessive use of it in others, also
unfavorably effects th e selling price of
dairy butter.'' , J ::
JUST ABOUT FOOTBALL.
It was a rather loud crowd, yet a mer
ry one that filled two cars on the C. & E.
last Saturday afternoon and were , trans
ported from Corvallis to Albany, to wit
ness a game of football between the Sal
em and Albany teams, . It was also a
loud crowd so far as yelling and blow
ing tin horns was concerned, that assem
bled on the field and cheered Willamette
to victory. From all indications, Salem
had much the 'stronger team, and not un
til the close of the second half was she
given much to do. The game . resulted
in a score of 15 to 6 in favor of Salem.
Arrangements have been made for a prac
tice game between -Willamette's team
and the OAC on the latter's grounds tor
morrow afternoon. ' '
The foot-ball game last 1 Saturday in
Portland between the Multnomah club
and the Indians, resulted in a victory for
the former, the score being 18 to 0. The
next game of importance will be between
the U, of O. and the Indians. The game
will be played in Eugene next Saturday,
and it promises to be a close and hard
fought contest. Chemawa will strength
en her team greatly, by the addition of
two Carlsyle players and the heavy weight
Pattee, who did not play last Saturday.
The Indians will come to Eugene after
the scalps of the 'varsity men. The lat
ter are working hard under Coach Simp
son and will go into the game with their
old-time spirit and determination.
Old Willamette is once again number
ed with the kickers, says the Statesman.
Tho old-time enthusiasm that formerly
existed has, apparently, again invaded

was recently engaged as coach, is expec
ted to arrive on the Oregon express to

gin in real earnest. Willamette will this
year be represent ed by a good team.
Among the veteran players, who will be
members of the team, may be mentioned :
Savage, Young, Williams, Bishop, Judd,
Olinger, Sanders and Holt. Tnere is
plenty available material for the remain
ing positions on the team and' a strong
ght will be made for the pennant. On
next Saturday the team goes to Corvallis,
where in the afternoon a match game
will be played with the state agricultural
college team. - The Willamette Univer
sity team will, play its initial game of the

EDWIN YOUNG LIBRARY.
The Astorian Proposes to Erect a Monu
ment to The Fallen Hero.
Among the many brave boys of the
OAC who joined tho ranks of the volun
teer, left home and loved ones to go . far
away across the sea and tight for honor
of Old Glory, was Edwin C. Young, of
Astoria. And he too, was among those
noble young lellows who gave their lives
for their country and humanity.
The people of Astoria, through the
efforts of the Astorian, of that city, are
endeavoring to raise a fund to purchase a
library to be donated to our agricultural
college, and to be known as the Edwin
C. Young Library.. No movement
could be more worthy, and no move
ment will touch the public, patriotic
heart more quickly," or , with a deeper
feeling of the realization of its worth,
thanthis one of erecting a lasting monu
ment to -the memory of .one of those
whose life-blood was spilled in fighting
for the glory and honor of humanity.
and of the American people in particular.
We are glad to see the people of As"
toria enter this work with such a spirit
of patriotism and determination. The
agricultural college while located here ;
and while it receives at all times ; the
hearty support of our town people, does
not belong to Corvallis. It is a state
institution and is for the use of her peo
ple, and this memorial movement in
honor of one of , her sons, should and
will receive" the united support of Ore-
gonians in general, lor it win De a
monument that will bring to the minds
of'the thousands of students who will
enter its walls for years to come, the
deeds of a fallen huo of the institution.
The" Astoriaa speaking editorially,
says: ' ..-t,. -
The proposed Edwin C. Young me
morial commends itself to the people of
Astoria. We have every reason to be
lieve ia honoring his memory,' to recog
nize and appreciate the self sacrifice of
one of our own boys, and the form of
the proposed memorial will meet the ap
proval of sentiment and judgement. -
The fact that the library which it ia
proposed to secure is not - for Astoria,
marks it a generous free-will testimonial
and adds to its value as a monument to
a fallen hero. The people of Astoria
have no selfish thoughts in honoring the
the memory of an Astoria boy who all
unselfishly gave his life to his. country .
As years pass the number of young
people who make use of the library . will
swell into thousands and they will be
young men and young women who are
striving to make themselves useful mem
bers of society. They will largely be of
that class who must make their own way
in the world. In their constant associa
tion with the books' thus provided they
cannot help drawing some patriotic in
spiration from the knowledge that anoth
er student's death as a soldier "gave the
library to the college.
The Astorian feels that the matter has
but to be presented to the people of As
toria to insure-the unqualified success of
the testimonial. We are not unmindful ;
we are not forgetful of our own heroe
who deserves to be remembered. We
have only awaited a suitable opportunity
for expressing our appreciation, and the
opportunity is here.
; Captain Wells' Lecture.
Tie college chapel was filled with peo
ple on Saturday night, the occasion being
the lecture of Captain Harry L. Wells,
on the Philippines.
The lecture was full of interest to those
present. A large number of views were
shown, embracing every view of life in
the far ' away Islands. The lecture was
filled with interesting anecdotes and facts
regarding our new ' possessions, and
proved a very profitable evening's
entertainment. - '.
Captain Harry Wells was commander
of Company L, and was a gaHant officer.
He was slightly wounded at one of the
hottest engagements, but is very mod
est and talked of the valorous deeds of
others but not his own. His lecture and
war views taken on the field showed the
movements of the Oregon troops from
the time they left Portland, scenes while
crossing the ocean to Manila, and in ac
tion in the campaign which is now a
part of history. The facts and incidents
told in Captain Wells' lecture were the
true revelation of facts and were just
what the people wanted to hear, and the
large splended views thrown on a screen

MANY ATTENDED.
The First School Officers Convention A
Great Success.
The first School Officers Convention
ever held in this county, and perhaps in
this state, convened in this'city last Sat
urday. Although it being a veryfbusy
time in the, year, a fair audience of direc
tors and clerks were present. By this
meeting was proven that a successful,
and interesting meeting of the school
officers of the county could be held,
Every subject taken up was discussed
with life and enthusiasn. At no time
during the day did the interest lag,
These meetings are what has long been
needed in the school work of our state,
The assembling together of the school
officers of our county is bound to diffuse
new ideas, new interest among the school
officers. They create a bond of interest
which will in turn increase the efficiency
of the officers, and improve the work of
the school. The above meeting was so
profitable and interesting that Supt. Den
man will hold another convention during
next 'June. The following program was
rendered : " How Can tne Director Help
the School?" by Director, H. M; Finley.
"Our Compulsory Law of Education." by
School Clerk, T. P.;, Conner: '-Board
Meetings" by Director Morris Wyant;
"The Obiects and Benefits of a Schoo
Convention" by Director Dr. R. O. Log
gan ; "Our State Course of Study" State
Supt., Hon. J. H. Ackemrau-. Supt,
Ackerman in his excellent talk presented
the merits of the recently prepaired state
course. He desires to connect the im
pression that a change in text books
would occur in 1900, because no change
will be made until 1901. Also that Steels
Physiology and Hygene in the eighth
year's work in the state course, should be
Smith's Elementary. In the Bnpplemen
tary reading books, this plan was to have
the districts buy these books and thus
begin to create a school library in each
district. ' .
Memorial Services.
Sunday afternoon the memorial ser
vices in honor of the late Captain Wood-
bridge Geary were held at the opera
house. It was an occasion in which all
Corvallis people were interested, and all
who could find standing room assem
bled to hear the solemn services ren
dered in honor of the brave Captain
Geary. ' L ' , ""' ' " : .
The services were under the direction
of Rev. E.J, Thompson of the Presby
terian church. The college battalion
headed by the band, commanded by
Cadet Major Edwards, marched from the
armory in military order. The exer

Loeated at Lebanon.
Dr. Blake Cauthorn has opened den
Ul parlors in the city of Lebanon. When
he severed his relations with the popular
firm of Cauthorn & Taylor, and left this
city several months ago, Corvallis felt
that she was losing a gentleman whose
professional services would be greatly
missed, and whose place in a social way
would be hard to fill. Lebanon may
now congratulate herself that she. has
profited by our loss.
Dr.. Cauthorn has had a wide experi
ence as a mechanic, and his natural
skill in dentistry is supplemented by a
pride in his work which impels him to
never slight.
He has been raised in Benton county,
and everyone esteems and respects him
for his gentlemanly demeanor and ex
cellent qualities. .

PROPER CARE OF THE FEET.
Few persons reallize what serious re
sults follow failure to properly care- for
and clothe the feet.' Not more than ten
women out of every hundred, if as many,
are free from corns, bunions, or ingrow-
ing nails or some form of trouble pro
duced by ill-fitting shoes. r-
The foot is a complicated ' structure,
every bone, joint and muscle having a
definite purpose in giving support and
poise to the figure. When shoes do not
fit the feet because of being too tight, or
too loose, or not shaped to allow the
muscles normal play, not only do the
feet become deformed and covered with
painful growths, but the carriage of the
body loses grace and elasticity.
Proper care of the feet is simple
enough. It begins with the right shoe.
The correct shoe is the one that fits the
foot according to its natural structure.
A shoe that is too large is just as bad
from every point of view as one that is
too small. A well-fitting shoe holds the
foot firmly, yet allows muscular freedom,
and gives sufficient length to save pres
sure upon the toes and joints.
The manufacturers of Jennes Miller
Shoes for women have acchieved tri
umph never be fore attained. Tbey have
made a. handsome shoe that looks fine
and attractive upon the foot and meets
the requirements in every single partic
ular of a foot covering designed accord

uinely hygienic shoe. Nor have they

crying need for health and comfort, to
over-charge for this shoe which gives
relief from suffering,
