They entertained many guests at a bas ket soeial in their quarters In the K. of P. hall. There were in the neighborhood of forty baskets sold, which brought the assembly $27. J. W. Martin left on the Modoc, Wednesday morning, for Portland, en route to Elma, Wash. Frank and Henry Howell are both there, employed in a logging camy. Hen ry is operating one of the logging engines. Mr. Martin will be em ployed as cook for the same camp. Quite a number ef neighbors gathered at the - home of Mr. and Mrs. 0. F. Hetchkiss, Tuesday evening, to bid farewell to the par ents of Mrs. Hotehkiss, Me. and Mrs. Shaw, who have been visiting their daughter for the past month. Mr. Shaw and wife left yesterday for their home in Kansas. In response to a letter ef inquiry by Sheriff Burnett regarding the law on snipe in Oregon, Game War den Quimby, of Portland, wrote under date of Marah 12th, that the law as prevised by the last legisla ture takes all protection off of snipe and whoever thinks he can hit a snipe is at liberty to hunt them. " Two agents of Portland Law En forcement Leaene are In a very pretty pickle. They were holding cards in a gambling same for the purpose of obtaining evidence when the police swooped down on the un lawful resort and carries the re formers off with the ordinary gam blers. Ex. There are people in this city who know just how they feel. Prof. F, L. Kent, of O A C, says: "Three of the latest built creameries in the state, having ' a capacity of upwards of 300 cows, report the cost of building and - equipment at about $2,100. Should it be.desird tohac.d e cream only, the prac tice in some cases i", ths cost of tauinrnent will be cut down by a sura equal to the value of a separ ator, or about $500." la the revision of the poneral game laws of tie stato the Ifgigla ture, at its late session, failed to make provision for special privi leges for taxidermists. Taxider mists in most slates, are permitted to kill birds at all seasons of the year in the interest of scianee. For which privilege they pty a license, and upon receiving their permit from the game warden they file a lond binding themselves to keep strictly within the purvue of the law. v All over the state there appears to be great activity ' regarding the question of inducing Easterners lo locate at a given point. Nearly every paper in Oregon Las , had something to suggest for tbe inhab itants of its particular . field, and these suggestions are always in the interest of that particular ''Eden." This is all right and as it should be. Oregon is a good state from top to bottom, but certain sections are more developed than others. In order to advertise anything it is neceseary to use ''printers' ink," and particularly is this true when the maiority of the papers of the state are setting forth the advan tages of their section. We invite readers of the Gazette to lend a helping hand in this matter, so vital to us all, and inform us ef all things coming under their observa tion that will assist' in building up and improving the county.

For particulars ap ply to their local agents, Nolan & Callahan. John Haskins left Wednesday for Oregon City, to reside with his son-in-law, W. C. Wilson. Mr. Wilson was fersaerly a Corvallls commission merchant, but is now conducting a similar business in Uregon City. Thomas Burnett has leased the Haskins' farm near Oak Creek. The Benton County Citizens' League, if they want to advertise Corvallis and vicinty, could do nothing wiser than to mail copies of the Gazette to parties in the East. This will prove to those whe follow farming that F. L. Miller pays the Portland price, or more, for produce. A good local market is the best advertisement. .'. , It is estimated that there are only about 100 bales of hops in Oregon at present. By those posted the statement is made that hop- yards have wintered well. Oregon dealers are already looking for con tracts at offers of from 10 to 11 cents, on the usual terms. The "usual terms" are cash for cultivat ing purposes and assistance in pick' ing time. Growers do not seem anxious to come to terms on these uivujiava. g r mt. ilk... T A . t a up Aiua.ny xyQuiuuran gives egrtsue to the Gazette's item concerning the "egg-guessing contest" in F. L. Miller's store recently, and says that no such number of Linn coun ty eggs could be gotten into, a tub ef the dimensions stated in our ar ticle. . Wrong again, Brother Nut ty. Nearly all of the eggB ia that ton came from Linn county and from very near Albany at that. Better prices aro offered in Corval lis for eggs than Albany can afford to pay and they nattfrally gravitate in mis airecwon. a rT n r -1 J .o . t - - V ud oaiuru&y evening ai o seises, the department of gymnastics will give an exhibition of the work don so far this year in the Agricultura College. The program will em brace class drills, apparatus work, tumbling, and music by the O A C band. One of the numbers which has attracted the attention f the visitors is the hygienic dumb-bell drill by the men s class. It is one of the first performances of the kind ever givftn in this city, but His very popular in the liast ana will piove worth many times the small Ad mission fee of fifteen cents. Tickets on sale at the college library. Am Albany "theatrical troupe" went to Corvallis and displayed their amateur talents to their best ability. The Corvallis Gazette gave a mild and friendly review of the performance, not, hewever, gushing with the fulsome flattery which the "company" thought they deserved, and now the editor of the Gazette is receiving bitter abuse from the Albany people. His criti cism is now charged to the fact that an Albany girl gave hlin the mit ten and bestowed her smiles on an other fellow. Salem Statesman. Yes, and we have been trying ever sinoe to locate who that girl was, but she is ae elusive as Pat Crowe. A. J. Johnson, United States Forestry Expert, whoso home is in Astoria, arrived in Corvallis, Wed nesday. His purpose in coming here was to secure a choice" collec tion of hardwoods from the Corval lis mills for exhibition at the Pan American . Exposition at Buffalo. Expert Johnson ia one of the most noted forestry men in the United States, and besides collecting and working in behalf ef this govern ment and many priyate forestry as sanations throughout the land, he is a contributor to many like organ izations in Europe. . One of his greatest discoveries was the White Sunflower, which he found in East' em Oregon ' and determined its identity. fOR V WOOLEN MILL. ins vitizens- League is considering a Proposition Looking to the' Establish- Blent of Snch-an Enterprise Here. The Benton County Citizens League "is now- a thing of life and prepared to do business. At a meeting Tuesday evening per manent organization was effected and the following 5 officers were elected : M. S. Woodcock, pres ident; B. ? W, ' Johnson, ist vice president; W. H. Currin, 2nd vice president; C. E. Woodson, secretary; E. Allen, treasurer. These officers compose the exec utive committee. The pressing need of this or ganization and the value it may be to the community, was evi denced when E. E. Wilson in formed the members of the League that he had received a communication from a gentle man in Brownsville to the effect that a- party, having means to invest, was desirous of establish ing a one-set woolen mill at some point in' Oregon. He wished to know what induce ments Corvallis had to offer for such an enterprise. Mr. Wilson was instructed to enter into cor-, respondence with these parties and report results to the League, which .will leave no stone un turned to secure the mill. The executive committee has received a letter from the land agent of the Southern' Pacific Railroad company, stating that if the Citizens' League will furnish data concerning the description, resources and other .matters of interest pertaining to Benton county, the above-named com pany will publish the same in pamphlet form to . advertise this section at the Buffalo Exposition. The matter will be given imme diate attention. The committee on member ship had a most encouraging re port to make.

A J Metzger Lost Paradise. The performance of "Lost Para- dise" last night by Frank Cooley and company was excellent in every particular and preatly pleased the large audience present. The "Lost Pai ad ise" requires clever and 'care ful handling. Hamilton Armour, as Percy Rnskin, succeeded in gain ing the dislike of the audience by a careful and c!ean-cut impersonation of a trying role. Sidnev Piatt was liuht and buoy nut 'as Hal Neville: hia scenes with Polly (Miss Fran cis), were enjoyable and served to relieve the more serious part of the drama. M. de Lacev, as leader of the strike, presented an ideal work man with the courage of his con victioLS. Oswald Roberts played the 'nill-ownr with energy and M. Graves looked well as Crawford. Miss Kingsbury, as leading lady, acted her pari very well, is hand 8omi? and well gowned and of excel lent ability, iiithel Urompton was a charming character in her hands. Miss Francis played Pollv and Cin ders and deserves praise for her versatility. Miss Graves won sym pathy as Emily and Miss Bluxome looked well as , Mrs. Grompton. Frank Cooley has been here before, but never to such sood advantage as, last night. As George Weston he displayed a passion, force and tenderness not possessed by all leading men.

""' v " " The finest and most complete line of wall paper over shewn in Corval lis is now to bo seen at J, D. Mann, First In Delivery. The -Gazette is ia possession of the markings of the judges on composition and delivery in the recent inter-callegiate oratorical contest held in this city, and perusal ef them is interesting. The judges on composition were required to grade their papers on their Originality, Rhetorical Ex cellence, . Subject Matter, and Style of Treatment. Delivery was also divided into four heads: Gesticulation, Articulation, In terpretation, and Oratorical Effecs. Each set of judges graded upon the basis of ioo. Of the three leading contestants, Tartar stood first In delivery by twft points, aad Minchin secend, two points ahead of Wallace, who was third. Tartar excelled in oratorical effect, with Wal lace second and Minchia third. Tartar was first in gesticulation and Minchin second; while Min chin stood first in articulation and equalled Tartar in interpre tation. Wallace was third in each of these points. : Judge Colvig awarded O A C's representative first honors ia de livery, and Mr. Mays and Rev. Gilbert gave him second plaee. Gilbert placed Wallace first and Minchin third; Mays' first choice was Minchia, while he con sidered Wallace . entitled to fifth position. Of all the markings, those of Professor Paddleford, of the uni versity of Idaho, stand out naked and alone. So great in his esti mation, was the difference in the literary merit of the various papers, that his voice outweighed the verdict ef the other judges combined, in deciding the con test. On the basis of ioo points, he gave Minchin 90; Wallace, 71; and 1 Tartar, 46. Prof. Meaney, of the university "of Washington, gave Minchia 94; Wallace, 96; and .Tartor, 93. President Penrose, of Whitman college, Walla Walla, like Prof. Meaney, found little difference in the composition of the three leaders. He rated Minchin first with 90 points,' Wallace second with 89, and thought Tartar en titled to 80. There are some literary produc tins which Professor Padelferd has never read or he "would cot have given Minchin over twice as much, credit for originality as he gave Tartar. Professor Meaney thought that O A C was second to MoMinnville ia origi nality and placed Minchin two points lower. President Pea rose on this point, gradad Mia eain and Wallace alike and rated Tartar below theta. On the papers as a whole, Minchin stood the highest Of all the contestants, Wallace took second pace, and Stillmacher, of Albany, third. Prat, Meaney placed Stellnaacher first; Presi dent Penrose eave him second place, while Prof. PadelfrS marked him seventh. FRANK COOLEY. A Friend of Honest Criticism. Portland, Or,, March 13, 1901. Ed, Gazette, .:' Deab Sib; The high gram matical authority on the Albany paper says that your recent criti cism of "A Debt of Honor" was an ' 'illy' conceived potpourri of bad English." It might not be out of : I "1 i'' ' rW " 1 1 JA 1 place to call his attention to the fact that such other authorities - as Webster, and tho Standard and Century dictionaries unite ' in dis crediting the use of "illy" for the adverb "ill," which is the correct form of the word. Sincerely yours, - A Potlanb Friend of Honest ITICISM. x ' Things Were Interesting. The meeting oi the ' council Monday developed considerable interest before: adjournment was taken. . After the regular order 01 business had been considered, Mayor Crawford announced that the council was ready to consider miscellaneous matters. Mr. J. T. Phillips here called the atten tion of the council to the fact that the law relating to the clos ing of saloons was being violated. Mr. Phillips spoke warmly on the subject from the standpoint of a parent and citizen and was given close attention. When he had concluded Officer Wells created a sensation by reading a list of names of persons whom he claimed had passed a portion of last Sunday in a certain saloon in this city. He closed his re marks by asking the council if it was the desire ot that body that the Sunday closing law be en forced. Councilman Heckart offered a motion to the effect that it was, and the council gave unanimous assent. A wise action on the part of the council was the repeal of the bill pasting ' ordinance. A mer chant may now distribute dodgers and other literature advertising his business without paying tri bute for the privilege, and the city is relieved of the constant menace of a law suit The police judge was ordered to cancel the judgment for $20, standing against the water com pany. The city attorney informed the council that in his judgment the case of The City of Corvallis vs Lee Dan could not be appealed. J. B. Irvine was elected special policeman to serve at the Opera House for a term of six months without compensation from the city. Judge Woodward cosferred with the council regarding the repairing and operating of the gravel ferry, and an agreement was reached whereby the city and county will each bear one half of such expense. Petitions for placing electric lights on corner of Harrison and nth, and corner of Harrison and 1 6th streets, were referred to fire and water committee. A petition asking that a side walk be built along the north side of Harrison street from 16th to the city limits was referred to the street committee. Bills were allowed amounting to $316 on the general, and 3.85 on the street funds. Additional Loeal All the latest things ia Dress Trimmings, at Kline's.
