Miller does not pay 15cts per dozen tor eggs because some other merchant forces him to do so, as would be the case were these same eggs retailed out at 124 cts. as the Times erroneously stated last week. F. L. Miller has never retailed one egg at less than 1 5 cts per dozen this year, nor paid less than this price. He has not been taking in several hundred dozen per day for the past two months to "buck" any ether merchant, but to give the producer what justly be longs to him. iiggs are worth their face value to him and he doesn't haye to "huncq''' anyone cut of the other 24 cts to da business. .

A lady in this city who takes an interest in the chicken business re lates that she has a hen which crews like a rooster. The lady does not view her "roostorly" hen with favor. T. H. Barnhart opoued a shop last week for carriage painting and that class of work. The shop is Ioeated oa south Main street, oppo site the establishment ef R. M. Wade & Co. B. E. Robertson, who has been operating a legging camp a few miles above Corvallis, for several months past, moved his eamp Thursday, to Goshen. This is a short distance from Eugene in Lane county. Mrs. O.

Miller speaks highly ef the erop prospects in his seotion this year, and states that grain looks better at present than it has for many seasons. Chief of Police Flett had a man employed, Saturday, cleaning up the debris on Main street. This is a good move and there is an excel lent opportunity in this city for considerable work along this line, of a private as well as public nature. The body of Mrs. Al Taylor, of Lincoln count v. who was drown ad in Pool Slough on the evening oi r eoruary Z4tn, was found floating in the slough March 21nd. Mr. Tavlor. husband of tha drowned woman, accompanied by ms little daughter, discovered the remains. A Monroe correspondent of the Junction City Times writes: The Dusty eehoel was closed again Thursday for an indefinite period due to a fresh outbreak of diph theria. Mrs. James Minton is the latest victim. A message from the infected town states there are five children in the family, and that all precaution is. being taken to pre vent the spread of the disease. This is the second siege of this dread scourge the town of Dusty has been subjected to during this year. Last Saturday the Woodmen of the World took a lease of the build ing belonging to Miss Pauline Kline and now occupied by Allen & Woodward. Workmen begin to day to convert the upper story into a lodge room, by removing parti tions and making other altera tions. A two-story corrugated iron addition, 12x25 feet, is to be added to the rear of the building. The lower floor will be occupied by the drug store, while the upper part will be used as property rooms. The lodge takes possesses May 1st. The lease was made for seven years. The Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. 0, A. societies of the O A C held a reception in the Armory last Friday evening.' Dean Berchtold made a very pleasing address, alter which Miss Maud Hoover sang a delight ful solo. John Stalker rendered a violin soo tnd encore and the Philadelphia Quartet sang some excellent numbers. Miss Hattie Hoover acted as a pianist during the evening. Games and eonveria- tion were among the features of the evening. Delicious refreshments were serred. The Armory was decorated in a most attractive man ner on this occasion and everything passed off in a highly satisfactory manner. A resolution was adopted by the Oregon senate, January 24, 1901, urging the department at Washington to recognize Captain C. E. Clark, who was in command of the famous battleship that was named in honor of this state and did such excellent service in the war between this ' country and Spain. The house of representatives of Oregon concurred m this resolu- tien January 25, 1901. On Febru ary 11, 1901, the president noml nated Captain Clark for advance ment in his gfe.de six numbers, for "eminent and conspicuous conduct in battle."

Hershner. bow a Hood River business man. is in Corvallis On a week's yisit to his family. He returns to Hood River, Thursday. Mr. Hershner is prospering and re ports business lively in that sec tion. H. L. Walden. formerly with tha O. & E. R. R. Co. in this citv. is on of the incorporators of the Hum boldt Kaiiroad Co., recently incor porated at Humboldt. Calif. It is proposed to run the road to Cres cent Oity, making the main line ioo miles long and M miles of branches, making 227 miles of road in all. The other day a erentleman of this city related his . experience in the egg business many years ago. It was quite brief, but very thril ling. He stated that when he was a boy he engaged in a wrestle with another youth in a grocery store one day. The narrator was thrown and fell backwards into a tub of eggs. By a system of mathematics not in vogue today, it was esti mated that exactly seventy-two1 eggs were broken. While he could not see the "seat of his trousers," he had no reason to doubt the re sult ef the calculation, so he paid me mil and passed down the alley for home, feeling that his disguise was very imperfect, and for once in his life he would sooner face the world than turn his back on it. Our eontemDorarv.eives its read ers, to understand that the mer chants of this city have carried their comnetitian so far that thev are paying more for eggs than they are willing to sell them for. In other words, that they are paying i cents per dozen more than they are selling for. A nrominent mer chant informs us that as far as he is concerned he is not losing any money on eggs and that he has a market for eees that makes it profitable for him to pay the pres ent price. We are moaned to think that all the business men of the eitj are wideawake enough to make Corvallis a market second to none, and it is but reasonable to suppose than when they are doing every thing in their . sower to eet carers at the present prices that they are not doing it to lose money. W. H. Franklin, of the foundry, went out to Greasy, Thureday, to make arrangements for setting up the machinery for the sawmill that is to be operated on what is known as the John Hyde place. This is to be" the mill of Flinn, . Flinn & Ewing, who recently placed an or der for machinery with Russell & Co., of Portland. The machinery arrived at Philomath on Thursday's train and was unloaded just be- i yond the town. About the last of the week Mr. Franklin will begin lining up the machinery and it is thought that in from two to three weeks from' this date the proprietor can begin sawing. The capacity will be about 25,000 feet per day, with 80-horse power engines. The frame of the mill is all that will be put up at present as it is the inten tion of the managers to saw their own lumber for the completion of tne mill. The Armory management would confer a favor on the - public by maintaining order during the performances. During the first act the noise is so great that it is almost impossible to hear a word from the players, and the people who are on the stage deserve more courteous treatment from the pub lic, and the people who patronize the show also should be proteeted. A few boisterous boys, and Some who are older, are entirely unmind ful of their actions. A good calling down would make things more agreeable. Herald. Yea, verily. In Corvallis it is different. Of eourse we have an opera house, and are more metropolitan than Al bany, but then there is no reason why theatrical companies who occasionally visit that place should not receive courteous treatment. Special Officer J. B. Irvine preserves perfect order during entertainments given in the Opera House in this city, and to him is due much credit for the pleasure of these perform ances. For Sale.

To the Editor: Occasion ally I receive a sosv of the i'amil. iar old Gazette and It is always a "Welcome visiter, but one came today with saca saddening words that I have no heart to read the rest of the Baser. I refer to the death of Judge Burnett Only a few days ag, as I was about to retnra to Alaska, I called on him to say goodbye. While I was shaking his hand on leav ing, he asked me to writ him on my arrival at Whits Pass. This I did. and realizing that wa might not meet again, touched subjects lot often freely spoken ot Between friends. Soma Best tency, fwhioh aeeears so foolish new), caused me to delay mailing bib letter, ana now it is too late. It lies before me as I write. In it are words of respect and ad miration for hiss which were in tended for his eve alone, and nn. speakably sad is the thought that the kind and sympathttio heart these words might hate thrilled with pleasure, is stilled forever. Judge Burnett was no ordina ry man. Even among the west ern pioneers who have labored to seive tae problems of life tin trammeled by nseless conven yentienalities he was a pioneer in thought and action. In some respects he was a peculiar man. With commanding talents hm lived and died in his almost rural heme and sought no recog nition beyond the thinlv settled West. He prospered, but it was by hard work and economy. He was no advocate for Shylock. He would not demand the pound ot nesB. He was a poor colleo tor and but an indifferent prose enter. For extreme penalties he eonld not plead. His reputa tion as a great Criminal lawyer, which stands atnon? tha bright est in Oregon, was won in the detense. He brought to the aid of the weak thestren&th and oarage of a lion. For erring- ana sorrowing- ha had the tears of a woman. And vet. all this is recognized more fully after he nas gone. Uh, generous im pulse! Words of kindness when felt and spoken too late, what sorrowful memories must linger aDout you. It is the fate of such a one as has just been laid to rest in the quiet cemetery at Corvallis to be most fully understood and loved years after he has gone and his Hast has mingled with the clay. My letter. How I regret that it did not reach him. In it wars flowers sprung from seeds sawn Dy aim throughout his field of action, gathered with the thought to strew them ia his path ere his evening walk was ended. They are useless now. and may only be thrown to the winds. Perhaps seme of them may be borne to fall upon his tomb. G. A. Waggoner. White Pass, Alaska, March i8, 1901. A Successful Meeting. Corvallis Granpe No. 041 hvlii an pen session last Saturday afternoon, which was well at tended by the farmers of Benton county and members of the faealty of - the Agricultural Col. lege. The meeting was in fact a farmers' institute, such as has been held in manv carts of the state the past winter under the auspices 01 tne station staff of the Agricultural College: extent that it was only a one session affair. viol a. u. uordley was the first speaker on the Takiaj us the topic ot Wheat rests, ne saia: "it is true thera were three insect pests whioh did more or less damage to the wheat crop last year but they were bv no means responsible xor tne almost general failure of the wheat crop in the Willamette Valley. It is very doubtful if the entire damage from this source amounted to as much as 20 per cent of the loss. The nessian nv. taat greatest of all wheat pests, is capable of daincr all the damage that was done last year, bat it did net doit. i. ne ravages ot tms insect wcw confined to the lower portion of r.ae Willamette valley, mainly below Hillsboro. and down the Columbia. The first discovery 01 tais insect in uregoa occurred at ficappeose ia 1896, since which time it has been gradually spread ing, ana it is probable that it will be onlv a Question of time until this whole vallev is io- lested. The eggs are deposited in the fall oil the vonnc toVim jplants where they hatch and the c 9 m - larva crowa inemseives flown be tween the stalk and leaf of tha plant where they absorb nourish ment, and come forth in the spring as adults, whioh deposit eggs above the first joint where tcey hatch in the same manner as in the fall. The stem be comes weakened and finally breaks over. In badly infested fields in the Eastern states 90 to 95 per cent of the crop has betn j thus affected. Wheat growers in the Eastern states have found that by sowing later in the sea son than usual the ravages of tais insect can be largely pre yented. The proper time for this locality has not yet been de termined, but we can sow much later than most wheat growing regions, hence, there should be little difficulty in overcoming the Hessian fly should it become very abundant. Tha work of the joint worm was muoh mora general than that of the Hessiaa fly, but its damage was not very considera ble. Should the work of this pest beeome a very serious mat ter, it caa be controlled by burn ing the straw and the stubble. The third pest is the wheat aphis, but it was not so abun dant last year as ia former years. These three pests could net have dona more than 15 to ao per cent. of the damage, hence last year's failure must be traced to other, causes than the insect pests. Dr. Jas. Withyoombe took up the subject of Rotation of Crops, in his usual energetic and com prehensive stylo. After a lively discussion ef some phases of this important topic, Prof. F. I,. Kent discussed Dairy Problems. The meeting was en- livened by highly appreeiated musical seleotions by Miss Cham- berlin and Mrs. I Wilson. May Start Carriage Factory. Messrs. J. R. Martin and S. W. Dorsey, of Des Koines, Iowa, have been in Corvallis since Thursday last inspecting the car riage factory and securing infor mation with a view to operating the plant. The gentlemen are not boomers, but quiet, unas suming business men, with years of experience in lumber and manufacturing enterprises. They were pleased to state that nothing had been misrepresented to them regarding the social or business conditions here. In fact, they were agreeably surprised at the outlook. They wish it understood, should they determine to locate here, tfiat manufacturing will not begin on a colossal scale. Just such help will be employed, and just such an output will be produced as the demand will jus tify. It is their intention to be conservative and establish a per manent business. In the nature of things con. siderable time must elapse before much can be accomplished. An important item in bringing these gentlemen to Oregon was the value of Oregon oak for manu facturing purposes. Whether or not Corvallis is the center of the oak producing country of this valley will have much to do in determining the location of the factory. Two yeara must elapse before the oak is seasoned suffi ciently to use in making wagons. Any material of this nature used in the next two years - would necessarily have to be brought from the East. Our spring: stock of men' boys' and childrens' clothing, shoes and furnishing goods have arrived. Nolan & Callahan.
