The efforts of tho State Fair Beard along these lines daring the past two years are well known and will be more stringently adherred to tb.au ever this year. That Tact will increase public interest in each event, as the public is fond of good horses and good racing, but very justly despises the -systtm f "fix ing" r "jockeying" which has too often obtained at all the tracks in recent years. The faithfulness with which the preset Board has set its face against the foul practices on this track has brought public confi dence and respect, and has brought more people to see the races. Sal em Statesman. Word has reached this city to the effect that the ofcCaUstland Bros, of Wilbur, Wash., recently suffered a $40,000 Iosb from fire. - Lnekilyr they saved all of their books.

As soon as ho gets well onto the run of the business he is to be made the manager of the branch establishment McCaust land Bros, are now erecting a large brick building. The loss is very heavy, but as the brothers are worth $180,000, they will not be financially crippled by any means.

According to the ru mor, antitexine was used most suc cessfully and nothing serious result ed. . To j udge from tho "scurrying" of people about town, one is inclined to believe that commodious dwellings are rather hard to rent in this eity at present. This is a good indica tion that thingg about Corvallis are going to liven up a bit. Rev. Dr. Thompson, in a recent conversation, said he had married nearly a thousand eouples, nearly 250 couples being in Corvallis alone. We doubt very much whether any other minister in the state. can claim a similar record. Independ ence Enterprise. .. Mrs. C, J.- Hawkins ef North Yakima, who has been visiting her brother-injaw, E. II. Hawkins, of Eugene the past week is now visit ing Mrs.' W. T. Norton. Her niece, Clara Hawkins, came down from Eugene en - a bicycle to join her aunt in a pleasure trip to Newport.

They threshed a 14-acre field of wheat for Mr. Praither - that furn ished 42 wagon loads of wheat, in the bundle, to the machine. It is seldom, indeed, that suoh a heavy growth Is found some of the wheat straw was over bIx feet long. The field averaged about 30 bushels per acre. The old soldier referred to ia the following dispach from Rose- burg to the Oregoaian, was formerly a resident or uorvalus: An lamate of the Saldiert,' Home of the name f John H.

A couple of days ace AdamB & Albright completed the- werk of putting a Corinthian arch in the dwelling of J. C. Taylor. What has heretofore been the parlor has been converted into a reception nail, Tins is semethlne entirely new in this oity and the workmanship is first-elass. All the arch bow lacks is the grill, and it is to come from Portland. The room and arch will be finished in red and black and the stairway, across - from the hall, will be finished in-ebony. The il- iars supporting tee arch forcibly re mind one of tue architecture of the old masters. The visit ct J. Lanphier and wife. of Portland, to Corvallis this week recalls an incident that oocurred in this city away back in 1885. Mr. Lamphier, Thos. Whitehorn Robt. Johnson and a number more of tho boys were boardine at Mrs, Biddie's. . They were all youag fel lows men. "jjeb" had iust been elected justice of the peace and his uiguvBi amuiiion was to periurm i marriage ceremony. Mr. Lamph ler was the only one ia the crowd who had a sweetheart, and it is said inai "itob,? kept after him so per sistently that he and his girl get marnea in seit detence months be fere they had intended to. Th Fossil Hunters. The inteceats named by the hoard of regents to tour Wheeler Ceuoty is search of fossils haye beea feeard from. - The latest is sue of (ha Fossil Journal eontaias an account of an entertainment given the. party Professors Fnl ton, Pernor, Edwards and Phil Hps by Senator Steiwer of that city. . Besides the.Steiwer and Hoover families, Ed Aldrich, a graduate of OAC, anfi a "chiel' amang them takin' notes," were present to entertain and be en tertained." Vocal solos were ren dered by ; Professor Fulton and Miss M and Hoover, accompanied by Miss Haltie Hoover 'at tho pi. aao. -: - T&e Journal says: uT6e fossil hunters did not find fossils by the carload, but they did make one valuable find, the fossilized head of an animal evidently larg er than a horse or ' cow, with immense jaws and teeth, which will have to ba worked on a good deal, and may have to be exam ined by experts, before classiftca Hon. 'The yonng professors, who have enjoyed their onting im mensly, arc now on their way back to Corvallis over the Cas cade mountains, in a wagon that looks just a trifle the worse for wear, with a leaf made oat of an apple tree limb confiscated ia a gloaming forage, ; a cottoawood tongne, and a bunch of - willow wheel spokes that will probably spiont in foggy Webfoot. Their Willamitte wflgon was never made for Eastern Oregon lava beds, and it Was - lucky for the canse of science and the party that it included Prof. Phillips of the Mechanical Departmsat, who is an ;adept at that kind ef repairing,- and will have t&e old craft converted into a pretty fair vehicle by the tima the penitent prodigals disembark on the cam pus." .; Removing Rock. ' A gentleman - who recently returned from Newport states that during his sojourn over there tha ' work of blasting out the rook in the bottom of the entrance to the bay was ia prog ress. This Is necessarily slow work, as the diver , who places the charge on the rock many feel under water eaa only work when the waters f the fear are com paratively caliHvv Quite often days will pass when it is impos sible to accomplish anything. Tha dynamite that is used is net taken aboard the' 'steamer that is detailed to assist ia this work, but is placed in & small boat and towed out by the steamer. It is understood that the diver does no drilling in making the charge eady. He merely places the dy namite In the crevices of the rock. When all is in "readiness for the discharge of the) blast the steam er gets ont Of. harms way and a few men in the small boat 'tonoh the button" from what tfcey con sider a safe distance. Oar infor mant states that lie saw one b ast et off and that it was as grand a sight of its kind as he ever ex pects to witness. Water and rack shot Into the air hundreds of feet, when, the: mass appeared to sepetate and fall as two dis tinct columns. The violence ef the blast gave tha windows of the "eity by the sea" qaite a stock and made bathers -teeth chatter. Biggest In the World. The . mammouta evaporator now nnder construction at the big prone orchard north of this city is claiming the attention of fruitmen all over the United States. - Writing to the Oregon Agriculturist from Bnflalo, N. Y, Henry N. Townsend has this to siv: 'In 'your issfie of July 1st yon quote from the uorvallis pa pers an item to tho effect thai the Corvallis and Benton County Prune Company are about to build the largest prune evapor ator in the world.' - If memory serves me our evaporator at Can- by is about the same size and 1 think one of -36 tunnels east Of the mountains is larger than el ther.'.! ' , , . To which the editor replies 'We are not prepared to say positively that the Cervallis newspapers are ; correct in their claim that the evaporator new under construction ; by the Cor vallis & Benton County Prune Co. wlllJbe larger than any of its predecessors.-' If they are correct in their statement that this evap orator will take care ot from 1200 to 1500 bushels of prunes per day, we think that' their claim for rank as first In size or, rather capacity is well founded. We know, of so existing evaporator erected for drying prunes which has that capacity." - . The "claim" of the Corvallis papers for the big dryer was very modes!, for it meant simply to show the average daily capacity under ordinary atmospheric con ditions. Everything beifls fav Orable, manager Johnson states) that he expects to dry 2,000 bu-1 shels of prunes is from 24 to 36 hours. - Attracting: Attention. Situated on the farm of Thos. , Baker, - some eight Or ten miles northwest of Corvallis, is a splendid snlphar spring. Each 1 year it becomes better known and has a larger number of peo ple camped about. . Thero is a hotel there and many visitors take advantage of the accomme-' datlons offered by this hostelry. ' Qnite a number of teats have been pitched there this summer. The fishing is geod and not far away tRe sportsman can find work for a rifle, as deet are often seen in that vicinity. The citi zens of Corvallis, Albany and other towns are beginning to re alize that the waters ol this spring are equal to the waters of any spring in tha land. : The Albany Herald has the following to say in iavor of Mr. Baker's spring: But few people outside of Al bany and Benton county know anything about it, in fact know that there are soma splendid snl phnr springs within two and one half hours buggy drive of Al bany, where cold, crystal sul phur water Is to bs had in abund ance and as free as the mountain stream. But such is a fact nevertheless. The springs ate situated abont fourteen miles by the road, & little north of west from the eity. The distance by a direct line is less than ten miles. They ate situated en tha farm of Tom Baker on the headwaters of Soap creek, at the foot of the Coast rango, and are in a delight fully cool and "shady grove of fir, maple, alder and craba&ple, and is both a picturesque and cool place beside a mountain stream. If these springs were in some states their fame would be her alded to the fartherest county, bat here we say little about them. We have too many good things to fully appreciate them all. The Ferry' Went Down. ; An accident, which fortunate ly did not terminate seriously, occurred to Johnny and Arthur Buchanan, Wednesday afternoon. They were hauling wheat to Pe ria. They were crossing ths river on the ferry near that place with two wagons heavily loaded with sraln, anS were near the east bank when they discovered that the boat was sinking. They made all haste tO(get the boat ashore, and suc ceeded m getting the horses on the bank when tha ferry sank.' One wagen was in such a posi tion that the four horses were able to cull it Out, but the other had to bo partly nnloaded before it could Be moved. Tae wheat was not damaged. It was neees sary for tho boys to coma by Wa5? of Corvallis In older to reach home .and they arrived here by ten o'clock Wednesday night. The cause of the boat's sink ing is not known. This was the first time that a heavy load had crossed this season, and it will be thoroughly overhauled before again being put in operation. , Additional Local. The Black Cat. .
