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.

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

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

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. Over sixty signers
to the constitution have been
secured, the following, being
among the number:

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. Eugene Guard, Mar.

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.

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.
