In a letter to his family, Taylor
Porter states that be is employed
at bridge construction on the rail

Grass Valley region, not far from
Shaniko. Mr. Porter went away
in rather poor health, but reports
that be is feiling quite well at pres
ent. The Kline ball tea n from this city
went to Independence, Sundaj', and
crossed bats with the nine of that
place. Notwithstanding the fact
that some of the Corvallis players
had not seen a ball for years, the
home team left the field with 29
runs to their credit, while Inde
pendence could only muster 16.
The steel wagon bridge across
the Willamette at Albany has been
repaired through the generosity of
Messrs. Gains & Hogue,, of the
Magnolia Mills. The work was
done at t'neir own expense to ac
commodate their customers who
live in Benton county. It will be
remembered that the city of Al
bany and the county of Linn re
cently disclaimed ownership ot this
structure and refused to repair it.
It was therefore condemned. It is
said the bridge is now in fair con
dition for summer travel.
The question of protecting the
bicycle paths is one of great import
ance to many of our local wheel
men. Why not do as they do in
California? In some localities in
that state the committee on paths
have seen fit to protect them by
placing posts in the ground, at
short distances apart, and at inter1
vals of some 250 yards there are
Bign boards on which advertise
ments are placed. The idea is to
charge a rental to advertisers for
the use of these boards, thereby
gaining assistance for the protec
tion of paths.

It is estimated that there are
1000 acres of flax that will be har
vested in Linn county this year.
The greater part of the flax culti
vated in Linn is located on the
forks of the Santiam and the imme
diate v.cinity of Scio. The seed
when harvested is worth about $1
per bushel and the fibre is used in
the manufacture of grain sacks,
burlap, etc.
Tiie relatives and friends of Harry
Rogers are becoming anxious about

What to make of his silence, and
whether he is alive or not is caus

It is not claiming too much to
say that the O. A. C. will be repre
sented at Salem, June 2nd by the
strongest aggregation of athletes
she has ever sent to a field meet.
.Buineit, Stimpson, Huffman, Col
vig and Elgin were all first-place
winner in I89, when O. A. C.
made more points than all other
colleges combined, and besides the3e
crack men Redd, Palmer and Scott,
than whom there are no better in
the state, will battle for the orange.
Trainer McLeod has studied every
man on the team and he knows
where each man is strongest. O.
A. C. will give them the best she
has on field day, and that will be
sufficient to win. No doubt is felt
concerning this, after the showing
made Saturday. The weather was
ideal, and the crowd enthusiastic.
Colvig was suffering from a slight
injury to his leg, and did not ap
pear, uurnougn was the only man
to handle the weights. His throw
of 120 feet 6 inches with the ham

Cathey did not enter the broad
jump and Scott only extended him
self sufficiently to win this event.

there is nothing in the records
made to alarm a high school. U. of

always d.-.es, but O. A. C's star is in
the ascendency. Following is the
result at the local field meet last
Saturday:

Never-in the history of Cor
vallis has a city election passed
off more quietly than did the
voting for municipal officers yes
terday. Even the question of
voting for or against bonds
aroused no interest, and little or
110 electioneering was done. This
was quite in contrast with the
city election of a year ago, when
in some instances the fight was
bitter and personal.
So satisfactory has been the
record of Police Judge Greffcz,
that he has appeared lor the sec
ond time for this office without
opposition. Wm. McLagan had
no opponent for the office of
treasurer and these two efficient
officers will serve the city anoth
er term at. least.
For councilmen, P. Ayery was
elected in the first ward ; W. O.
Heckart in the second ward, and
W. J. Wilbanks, in the third
ward. The only contest was for
the office of Chief of Police, J.
J. Flett, W. J. -Howell and John
C. Young being candidates. Fol
lowing is the vote:
For Chief of Police First
ward, Flett, 60; Howell, 7,
Young, 25; second ward, Flett,
68; Howell. 26; Young, 15,
third ward, Flett, 83; Howell,
14 ; Young, 22.
For Police Judge -E. P. Gref
foz, first ward, 90; second ward,
110; third ward, 117.
For City Treasurer Wm. Mc
Lagan, first ward, 93; second
ward, 110; third ward, 120.
For Councilmen First ward,
P. Averv, S6. In the second
ward, W. O. Heckart, 58; Geo.
W. Smith, 48. Third ward, W.
J. Wilbanks, 105; S. Chipuian,
14, the latter being run to fill
the vacancy caused by H. W.
Hall changing his residence from
the third to the second ward.
There were a. few scattering votes
cast in this ward for councilmen.
The total vote "For Bonds"
was 148; "Against Bonds," 144.

Hear Fulton Tonight.
The United States treasury de
partment recently informed Gov.
Geer that a check had been drawn
in his favor, as governor of Oregon,
for $4404.06, that sum being the
balance due the state on account of
the 5 per cent road fund. This
money is 5 per cent of the net pro
ceeds arising from the sales of pub
lic lands within the state during
the fiscal year ending June 30,
1899. According to the statutes of
this state, the money will be divid
ed among the various counties in
proportion to the number of acres
of land in each county, and will be
used to improve the county roads.
The money was due in March, but
was not available sooner.
The first gun of the coining
political battle will be fired at the
opera house tonight. Chas. W.
Fulton, one of the most forcible
and popular speakers in Oregon
will address the people of Benton
county upon the issues of the day
with special reference to their bear
ing upon the present congressional
campaign. Mr. Fulton is not only
careful and accurate in his state
ments and convincing in his argu
ments, but is a fluent and enter
taining talker. A cordial invita
tion is extended to everyone to come
and hear him.

A messenger, the young brother
of Miss Bohannon, knocked at the
residence of Dr. Pernot last Sunday
morning at 2 o'clock and when the
physician appeared, announced that
his sister Miss Laura was lying dan
gerously ill at the family home near
Plymouth church. The young man
stated that bis sister had taken il
about noon Saturday. Vomiting
and other symptoms gave evidence
of an attack of billiousness and
nothing was thought of her sick
ness. Later, however, her condi
tion became more serims, and it
was proposed to send for a phy
sician, but she did not favor the
idea, saying it was unnecessary.
During ihe night she continued to
grow worse, acd at 2 o'clock in the
morning Dr. Pernot was called.
The doctor left immediately for the
bedside of the sufferer, but before
his arrival death had claimed her.
The cause of her death is a mys-
t3ry. something over a year ago
she had suffered a severe
Now that the Belgian hare in
dustry is becoming firmly establish
ed in the west, especially in Cali
fornia, there is considerable curi
osity excited, and n desire for in
formation regarding this matter.
As near as can be learned the rear
ing of rabbits, began in Belgium
early in the present century. The
Belgian hare comes from the wild
rabbits of that country, after much
crossing and careful breeding.
They were introduced in the United
States in 188S, and have surely
come to stay. Many people in the
cities and on small farms keep them
as pets only, but there is a com
mercial side to the Leporine that
seems to eclipse nearly all lines of
poultry and meat when marketed.
The returns are greater for the cap
ital invested and the care and time
of looking after the rabbits than
anyone would suppose. It is said
to be the cheapest in the long run
to start with good stock; a doe will
cost from $5 to $50, and a buck
about the same, according to the
pedigrees, register, etc. They will
produce from six to thirteen young
in a litter, but it is said that a doe
should not be allowed to raise more
than eight of them. At the age of
two weeks they should be weaned.
Six litters are all that should be
allowed in a year. When there is
a market, as in the larger cities the
meat sells readily for from 17 to 20
cents per pound, and when it is es
timated that one doe will produce
300 pounds of meat in a year, the
profit will be seen to be large.
V tiere there is a rabbitry ot any
magnitude the cost of keeping the
rabbits is placed at from 3 to 6
cents each per month. So long as
they are kept in a clean, dry place,
they will thrive in almost any lati
tude. The pelts also have a mar
ket value. From what can be
learned, it will be a long time before
the supply will be greater than the
demand. This industry seems to
hold out better inducements than
the poultry business, when eggs are
frcm 10 to 20 cents per dozen. But
until one has proven the truth of
all that is said in favor of a rab
bitry, should he have a few old hens
it might be a wise plan for him to
keep them.

Miss Bohannon was a highly re
spected young lady of this county,
and the sympathy of the entire
community goes out fo her grief

vices were held at the family resi

Last week we published facts con
cerning the new mil", now in course
of erection, for the manufacture of
hardwood lumber. Now comes
news of the purchase of a large
tract of oak timber by those inter
ested in this enterprise. The pur
chasers are N. Newhouse & Co. of
this city, the members of the com
pany being S. Whitesides and E.
W. Strong. The timber is known
as the Guthrie tract, comprising
500 acres, and lies three miles south
of Dallas. The price was $9 per
acre. A first-class lumbering plant
for the manufacture of oak lumber
will immediately be put up, the ca
pacity of which will be 10,000 feet
per day. Mr. Newhouse will be
manager of the mill, while Mr.
Strong will look after its business
interests. This tiact is undoubt-

other bodies of first-class timber,
all of which will be utilized by the
new mill. The plant will be ready
for operation about June 10th.
The Corvallis mill will be in a
position to convert the lumber into
all kinds of woodwork for use in
the manufacture of agricultural
implements. Mr. F. J. Oberer will

A point is being made of the fact
that Benton county officials em
ployed no extra clerks to assist in
the registration of voters, and that
in Linn county a man was employ
ed for this purpose. The time al
lotted for registration was the same
in both counties, Benton has 1950
votes, Linn has 5100. Linn county
has a populist clerk and it is not
fair to reflect upon his record for
economy.
John Benson, of Mountain View,
reports having recently examined
his grain crop very carefully. Of
the summer fallow grain he holds a
very poor opinion, stating that the
heads are poorly formed and under
sized. The spring grain looks
very well. Mr. Benson says that
he judges the crop of the county
by his own, to a certain extent, and
has concluded that there will be
quite a shortage next fall.
