Here is the Bill Nye's definition of a

encyclopedia, a time table, a romance, a
guide, a political resume, a ground plan
of the civilized world, a low-priced
multum in parvo. It is a sermon, a
circus, an obituary, a shipwreck, a
symphony in solid brevier, a medley of
life and death, a grand aggregation of
man's glory and his shame. It is in
short, a bird's eve view of all the
magnanimity and meanness, the joys
and sorrows, births and deaths, the
pride and poverty of the world, all for a
few cents."

Pendleton Tribune. -
The steamer Gypsy arrived Monday
afternoon from her fourth trip to Monroe.
She left tehre at 7 :30 a. m. and reached
Carvallis shortly after 2 p. m. carrying
75 tons of freight. At the time the Wil
lamette was eight feet above low water
at Corvallis, aad the shallowest water
found in the Long Tom was 34 feet.
Ia the four trips the Gypsy has brought
away from Monroe 200 tons of flour, 75
tons" of oats, 30 tons ef millstuffs, and a
large amount of farm produce. There is
no longer any question about the naviga
bility of the Long Tom, when there is a
proper stage of water in the Willamette.
A correspondent of Hood River Glacier
says of the poultry business of the
country ; . Last year the poultry produc
tion reached the enormous snm ot
$500,000,000, or a sum greater than the
return from cotton, wheat and cattle, and
still this country imported ia 1896,
60,000,000, dozen of eggs from Canada,
Norway, Sweden and other foreign lands.
In California,last year, over $2,500,000 of
poultry products were imported from the
Eastern states. Oregon produces annual
ly less than one per . cent of the poultry
products of the United States, and ships
in thousands of dollars worth of eggs.
In view of these facts, it seems to be be
yond dispute that ponltrv can be made
to yield a handsome profit.

The Oregon State Poultry show opened;
in Albany Monday evening. Birds, from !
all parts of the Pacific coast are on exhi
bition, over 400 more fowls being shown
than last year. : Heroic efforts are being
made by the Benton county association,
which numbers nearly fifty names, to
have the show held here next year.
No countv in the state is better
adapted to poultry raising than Benton,
and no county deserves more encourage
ment. Little doubt is felt that the show
will he held here, The energy dis
played by our citizens in their efforts to
comply with all the requirements of the
association for holding a show, and the
enthusiastic support of the entire com
munity is a guarantee of the success of able to require such proof.

It is true that blank "A" which is
used in registering before a notary public
or justice of the peace has this form
naturalized or declared my intention
in oonrf.. in - nt.f. i.
vvumj , BU1KJ VU ,
18 , as appears by the naturalization
papers exhibited herewith." But in
registering with the county clerk this
blank is not used ; so that if the natural
ized citizen cannot fill the requirements
oi the blank, he would better go to the
county clerk to register.
County Clerk Hall, of this county says
that heconstrues the law to mean that he
must enact satisfactory proof of natural
ization or declaration of intention and
intenos to use his own discretion in this
i .
wauer, accepting eitner tue papers or
any other evidence which seems to him
to establish the facts.
Incase of voters registering before a
notary or justice upon "blank A," how
ever, Mr. Hall thinks the naturalization
papers would be required,
A good legal authority suggests that in
case ef the loss in papers, a copy ef the
court record could be optained.
tte Pioneers of 1853 Yet Re
.side There,.
' G. W. Turnbow furnishes the Junction
City Times the following collection of
items about Long Tom precinct, 47 years
aso: - - -
At that lime, the population of Loug-
Tom precinct was about 80. There -was
one school house, and 5J miles of road.
The nearest post-office was Starr's Point,
one mile north of where Monroe .now
stands.; Monroe was then unknown
The nearest flour mill was on Beaver
creek, Benton county. The first election
was held in Christopher Taylor's hewn
log house, on his donation claim, where
Emery Herron now lives. There are
about 54 square miles in this precinct
In 1853 there was but little if any tax
able land, and at this time there are
30,000 acres taxed. Of the 80 people
that were there in 1853, there are but five
remaining, namely, W. R. Goodman,
Milton Robenson, G. W. Turnbow, J. 6,
Robenson and Mrs. Oliver Mays.
The present population is about 277,
with 70 or 80 legal voters: about 100
school children, 42 miles of public road,
1 postoffice, 1 sawmill, 2 poultry yards,
1 fishpond, 1 hophouse and 20 acres of
hops. "
In those days farming was not so ex
tensive as it is now. They had 10, 20 or
30 acres of wheat, which was cradled and
bound by hand. The wheat was thresh
ed with horses or cattle by . tramping it
out of the straw.

FRUITGROWERS TO MEET.
An Alsea correspondent calls our atten
tion to the fact "that there has been a
petition signed and sent in from Lobster,
asking for the restoration of that precinct.
was signea py every one who was
asked to sign it except ene individual
who said he had used his influence in
bringing about the upheaval, I must
say he had as much, influence over our
officials as the serpent had over our
grand-parents four thousand years ago,
The long list of names can be seen by
calling on the county court, whichi n
vites their attention to this matter."
In our issue of January 13th we pub
lished the Court's reason for "abolishing
JLiODster precinct, which reason was as
follows :
It appearing to the court that Lob
ster voting precinct had lost its greatest
part, numerically, to Lincoln county at
the time of the creation of that county
and there were now but 10 vot3rs in that
precinct, it was deemed insufficient to
justify the county in its maintenance
and the precinct was merged into Alsea
precinct No. 13 and the boundary ef that
precinct will conform thereto."
Under the law action-cannet be taken
on the petition until the January term
of court, 1902. "

The eighteen members of the 2nd Ore
gon volunteers who served in the war in
the Philippines, were publicly presented
with badges by the ladies of the Emer
gency Corps at the fireman's hall last
Tuesday evening. An excellent program
was rendered and there was insufficient
room to accommodate all who wished to
attend. The badges were purchased by
the ladies out of the funds left over in
the treasury of the corps at the termina
tion of the service of the Oregons. They
are of silver and consist of a bar with a
circular pendant suspended by silver
chains. On the bar is the word "Phil-
ipine." On the pendant appears the
date of the return of the Oregons and
the words "From the citizens of Cor
vallis," and on the reverse the name of
the volunteer.
The program consisted of a vocal solo
byDr. Cathey; reading by Prof. Helen
Crawford; solo by Prof. John Fulton;
reading by Mrs. B. W. Johnson, aud
short talks by volunteers Burnett, Stimp-
son and Edwards.. The badges were
presented in a neat speech by Miss Rose
Selling snd H. L. Holgate responded hap.
pily. The Amicitia orchestra furnished
music for the occasion. What with the
army corps badge, state badge, possible
decoration by the government and this
badge from citizens the local boys are
high heaped with honors, and they de
serve all this and something more sub
stantial.

The Eugene Register contains the
following classical narration of the ex
perience of a former Corvallis boy with
tramps near that city: While inhaling
the etherial ozone from the topmost
promontory of Skinner's Butte yesterday,
E. J. Frasier and M. O. Wilkins saw
several hobos enter the dismantled obser
vatory building. They approached the
structure and were surprised on entering
to find the rooms were apparently with
out occupants. On further examination
a sort of trap door was unearthed, which
on being thrown open, a large hole was
revealed underneath the floor, . from
whose dark depths glistened in "wild
tiger fashion" several pairs of dusty. eyes,
On being told to come . forth by the two
brave gentlemen who had bearded them
in their den, the whiskers replied in
language more forcible than eloquent.
Ia one corner of their rendezvouz a rude
fireplace had been fashioned from stenes
gathered near the reservoir, into whose
limpid depths they gazed, Psyche-like,
while filling their improvised buckets
preparatory to cooking their evening
meal with the ill-gotten spoil from

molested, :- these worthies of inborn
lethargic tendencies continue to inhabit
this lair above the clouds in strange in
congruity with their pure environment,
aad when the shade of night wraps its
dark mantle of slumber about the tired
city, the denizens of this abode issue
forth and slink about the barnyards,
where well-fed fowl blink on their
perches in landed security.
