times favorable, he only lost a few
boxes.
There will be a reception given

exceed that of this season.
Benton county succeeded in se
curing fourth prize at the State
Fair, $50 in cash. Marion county
was first; Linn, second and Wash
ington, third. That Benton was
not accorded first place is the fault
of her people and not of her re
sources. Mr. French and bis as
sistants worked like trojans, and
are entitled to every credit. The
exhibit they succeeded in bringing
together was of the finest puality,
but lacked in quantity the display
of more successful counties. Many
persons made promises of articles
which they had in abundance, but
failed to fulfill (hem. That Benton
secured a place, however, is much
to her credit.

Statesman.
Joaquin Miller, the poet, who is
in China, credits Li Hung Chang
with saying that if it had been
known that there was not much
loot in Pekin, the allied forces
would not have been in such a
a hurry to get there. Miller met
the old statesman at Canton, and
had a long interview with him.
The Dalles Chronicle. The chances
are that there is about as raueh
"moon-shine" in this statement of
Joaquin's as the majority of his Au
rora Borealis items that he sent
homefrom the Yukon a few winters
back.
The college opened Monday with
every indication of an increased at
tendance this year. The examina
tions of last Friday and Saturday
showed a gain of nearly fifty per
cent in the number of Freshmen
making application for admission.
Numerous old students arrived on
all trains yesterday and were reg
istering all afternoon. At the time
of going to press it was impossible
for us to secure figures, but those
in a position to know were of the
opinion that the number of matric
ulations would be greater than
those of the opening day last year.
The subject of "Grandfather's
Clock" is attracting, much atten
tion in different sections and the
latest addition to literature in this
line is contributed by the Inde
pendence West Side as follows:
"W. G. Cressy, speaking about Dee
Davidson's .grandfather's clock,
says that he has a clock older yet.
His giandfather bought it in 1790,
a hundred and ten years ago and
that tho clock has been running
ever since. The works are of brass,
the pendulum being about three
feet long. Mr. Cressy says he
wouldn't take a good farm for that
clock. "
Sheriff Burnett and J. N. McFad
den returned Friday evening from
a visit to the state fair at Salem.
They speak in high praise of the
fair. The exhibits were unusually
fine. It is thought that the live
stock exhibits of former years were
none of them equal to the stock at
the fair this year. On account of
rain the race course was not in
prime condition, but some very in
teresting contests were pulled off.
Everything was entertaining from
start to finish of the fair and had
the weather been favorable the
attendance would have been the
largest ever seen on a similar occa
sion at Salem.
H. L. Walden, traveling freight
and passenger agent of the Corvallis
& Eastern Railroad, will leave in a
few days for Eureka, Calif., to ac
cept for the present, a position on
the Eureka & Klamath River Rail
road, President A. B. Hammond's
new railroad in the redwood lum
ber region, where the Yance red-
Uvood interests, the finest body of
timber in the redwood belt of Cali
fornia, have been purchased by Mr.
Hammond, includii.g the the rail
road named. Supt. C. Sullivan is
at Eureka, and T. J. Butler," bridge
foreman on the C. & E. left Satur
day for that place. The Eureka
road was projected from Eureka to
the Klamath river, a distance of
70 miles. Herald.
Heeded the Rektike.
The Monroe Bryan club will
be addressed at its first meeting
next Wednesday evening, by
Judge W. S. McFadden. The
judge is an entertaining talker,
and his words leave a lasting
impression on his hearers. We
remember a speech made by this
excellent gentleman some years
ago, in the course of which he
compared the achievements of
the democratic party with those
of the republican party. He
pointed to the acquisition of ter
ritory under Jefferson and those
other noble democrats and the
picture was inspiring. Then, in
tones of withering sarcasm, he
said, "And what has the repub
lican party added to oar domain?
Alaska, a land so poor and un
productive that if an old rabbit
is so unfortunate as to give birth
to twins she has to let one out
to nurse." The great leaders of
the party felt the sting of this
rebuke, and since that time re
publican administrations have
added Hawaii, Guam, The Phil
ippines, Porto Rico, Pango
Pango, and Alaska has redeemed
herself by proving a valuable
revenue producer. The judge
will kindly remember to give
credit for this.
Just Suits Him.
Colonel Frank Parker, former
editor of the Walla Walla States
man, passed through Corvallis on
his way home from Elk City on the
C. & E., where he has just added
640 acres of land to his fine ranch.
Colonel Parker's tract now amounts
to 1200 acres. The colonel admits
that his own state is a fine place,
and all that, but he Bays there iB
no such opportunity for acquiring
farming land up in Washingtan
that suits him like the Yaquina
bay region. On his reserves Nature
has placed, he says, everything to
provide a man with the necessaries
of life. There is game, trout, fruit,
stock and chickens, and the colonel
is looking forward to tho time when
he shall quit Walla Walla editorial
life and settle down to a sensible
existence.
The colonel had with him a bag
of apples that were mostly three
and four pounders. I hey were of
. 1 - a
enormous size ana the euitor-
rancher confessed that he knew
no name for the species. He says
they grow as easily in the salt air
of that oast country as prunes do
in the Umpqua valley. Colonel
rarker has been sending compli
mentary boxes to his friends in all
parts of the country. This method
of giving away his superb crop has
proven popular and the colonel
does not see why he should not
make a good thing out of his fruit
businets.
Oregon Was There.
The general' impression is that
Oregon is not represented at the
Paris Exposition. In a certain
sense she is not represented, at
least, not as she should be, never
theless, she iB represented, although
California gets the credit. Prof.
E. R. Lake, of the O. A. C, now
in France, in writing of the big
Paris fair states that California has
two good-sized attractions and after
describing one says: "The
other place, which is just around
the corner, and not more than two
blocks away from Place de l'Opera,
the most crowded place in all Paris,
is managed, ostensibly, at least, by
the Southern Pacifio company,
though it draws largely upon Ore
gon for its display of woods, fish,
fruits and grain, of which material
it has enough to.make a creditable
pavilion within the exposition
grounds; in fact it is a better dis
play than many on the grounds,
so far as a real exhibit of soil pro
ducts goes."

Oregon Game Laws.
The fishing season is now on,

to eater any standing or growing
grain not his own for th pur
pose of taking or recovering any

Mrs. Mehala Belknap.
The death of Mrs. Mehala
Belknap occurred at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. Robert Kyle,
at Monroe, last Friday night A

was the attack that it was known
she could not survive long and
relatives were called to her bed
side, and they were near her
when the final summons came.
Mehala Starr was the daugh
ter of Jeremiah Starr. She was
born in Ohio in 1824. The
family removed to Iowa, and
September 26, 1842, she was
