A. F. 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.

A FRIEND'S , TRIBITE7
George A. Waggoner Writes from Alaska
in Memory of Judge John Burnett.
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

and may only be thrown to the

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.

instruments are expensive at any price
Why? Because they never givelsatis

To secure the value of your money there
is one certain way. 3uy an instrumeat
