There has been considerable specula
tion in the minds of men interested in
fruit regarding the'extent of the damage
done the crop by the recent frosts. Some
are of the opinion that the damage so far
has been very slight and may have the
effect of holding the crop back, thereby
proving for the best ia the long run. . 1.
C. Rose says that an inspection of -3i.is
vineyard proved that only a few of the
most advanced vines had suffered any.
If so tender a vine as the grape can sur-
vi'e it looks reasonable to expect the
hardier varieties of fruit to pass through
the ordeal in fairly -good shape. How
ever, as much as everyone aesires a
report of "no damage," the future may
prove the contrary. v
Supt. Denman is arranging to hold a
local institute at Fairmount. The exer
cises will be held in the grange hall and
will be the first ever held in that locality.
There is to be an eyening and day ses
sion, commencing on the evening of May
4th and continuing throughout the 5th.
It is to t3 a union affair, to a certain ex
tent, of the teachers of Benton and - Linn
counties,-and Supt. Denman will be
assisted by Supt. Martindale, of the
Albany public schools, and County Supt.
McDonald of Linn. Many of the Albany
teachers will be present and there is no
doubt of a good attendance of Benton's
teachers, so it is a foregone conclusion
that the event will prove of unusual in
terest and value to all,
Hall ie Wilkins will have a nice -sur
prise on his twelfth birthday which
occurs. next Monday. On account of the
sad accident that overtook him four
years ago today and deprived him of his
right hand he has found it hard' to do
much with the cornet, his favorite in
strument. His father, S. N. Wilkins,
ordered , a left-handed "Wonder" solo
Bflat instrument some time ago from C.
G. Conn. It is fitted with slides, shanks,
etc.. so that it can be thrown into any
key that the cornet is used for, and aa it
has arrived, it is seen to be a work of
art in every sense of the word. It is
very heavily silver-plated and nicely en
graved. Instruments of this kind, left-
handed, are only made to order, but Mr.
Conn, mentions having just completed a
similar instruuifint.for a 3'oung man of
New York who -volunteered for Manila
and there lost his right arm. . .
F. V.. Martin, formerly with the Karl
Frurt Co,, of Portland, was iu town the
fore part of the week looking into the
prospective future of the fruit of this S3C-
tion. He has been in Southern Oregon
and reports everything O. K. -in that lo"
cality and the outlook favorable for a
large yield of fruit. But since his de.
parture there has been heavy frosts aud
the prospects may not be so flattering as
they were. Mr. Martin is now in busiuess
for himself in connection with others and
has arranged to buy, or rather, fcas par
tially purchased quite a quantity of fruit
at a given price in the orchards. Mr.
Martin in such deals generally paid $1
down, tho balance to be paid when the
fruit is accepted. It is stated that he
negotiated for a crop of Bartlett pears ia
Southern Oregon, agreeing to pay one
ceut per pound for the crop picked and
piled ia the orchard, Mr. Martin to pack
the Irait for shipment at his ow n expense.

publicans and eminently fitted to fill the
offices for which they ' were selected.

strength is conceded and this means the
election of the entire ticket. The close

good will prevailed. ' : .
4 TRI-PARTY TICKET.
Representatives of the Populist, Demo
cratic and Prohibition Parties Named.
The convention of the allied parties
was called to order in the circuit court
room Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock and
temporary .organization was effected.
Major James Bruce acted as temporary
chairman. The motion of E. L". Bryan
for the chair to appoint a committee of
three on permanent organization was
amended to read a committee of four,
two from each party. This carried. '". The
chair showing an unwillingness to take
the responsibility of appointing the com
mittee, a delegate asked, "What differ
ence does it make?" to which the chair
man replied, "I don't want no fight On
my hands?'
After the appointment of the commit
tee On credentials it being discovered
that Mr.1 Whitaker was on both the
committee on permanent organization
and on credentials, 'Mr. Jones was given
his place on the "latter committee A
committee '-of. five was appointed" on
platform. ' On motian of B. F. Irvine the
convention adjourned.' . .
The afternoon session was called to or- .
der by Chairman Bruce. The committee
on permanent organization recommended
upon the 'solicitation of the temporary
chairman, '.that a new chairman be
chosen. The report was adopted, and
Captain George A Robinson was elected
permanent chairman. He proved a fair
and competent presiding officer and
handled business with much dispatch.
"Upon taking his station he thanked the
convention for the honor conferred upon
him. He was glad from the bottom of
his heart, he said, to preside over a con
vention of the allied parties, which was
in reality one party," its object being to
determine whether this was to be a free
government or a monarchy. His speech,
though neat and earnestly delivered
provoked no applause. . .
The committee on credentials in its
report made no provision for populist
representation from Corvallis precincts
Nos 1 and 4, and Alsea and other out
lying precincts. .Whitaker moved an
amendment, to authorize the populist
chairmen of these unrepresented pre:
ciacts to cast the vote of his party, thus
giving the populists equal representation.
This carried, and. proved Mr, Whitaker a
shrewd politician, as it no doubt gave
the recorder and assessor to his party.
, The commiitee on platform recom
mended the endorsement of the lateNe
hraskan platform and favored economy
in the management of the county affairs.
j The report was adopted . '
As was anticipated the nomination for
representative weot to the populists by
acclamation, Chester Skeels securing the
place. Virgil Walters, democrat, re
ceived the nomination for clerk, and he
was chosen by acclamation on motion of
B. F. Irvine. Mr. Watters was called
upon for a few remarks. He thanked
the convention for the nomination, and
stated that under no consideration would
he accept , the nomination for clerk two
years hence, as he had other matters
which required his attention. He indi
cated that whether he received the pres
ent nomination or not had been a matter
of indifference to him. .
Two democrats were nominated for
sheriff, Telt Burnett and A. J. Hall.

Republicans!
We wish to impress especially npon
republican voters of this county the im
portance of their compliance with the
new registration law. A failure en the
part of a small number of republicans to
register may mean the defeat of some of
their candidates where the contest is
close in the coming June election. A
systematic arrangement on the part of
the opposition party perfectly legiti
mate will show the name of every mem
ber of their party, thought entitled to
vote, upon the registration books before
May 15th, and no republican should be
so lax in his duty to himself and to
his party as to deny .. himself the
right of franchise at the polls next June.
This is the only thing which will admit
of any republican candidate being de
feated, and the election of the entire
ticket means a solid front and successful
campaign in the coming paomentous
presidential contest. ,
