somebody is to blame for the fact
that school books are net obtainable
in this eity in sufficient quantities
to supply the demand. Our local

have repeatedly ordered -books by

may be that the blame could be
traced back to the publishers,
Nevertheless, it has been knjwn

Tuesday evening, and handed
Sheriff Burnett papers for the
replevin of some sheep recently
purchased by James Lewis, . of
this eity, from one Suats. of

It appears that Mr. Staats re
cently disposed of his effects at
Moamoath and left the county
for parts unknown, much to the
surprise of friends and creditors.
He sold 325 Bead of sheep to Mr.
Lewis and the Pollt Coflatf
Bank claims to have a chattle
mortgage on the sheep to the
amount of aboat $500.
From what eaa be ascertained.

about 200, he brought to this

- Everything is on the move al
the big prune orchard. Prune
picking' began at the orchard
Monday, and ever 500 bushels of
praaes were picked. Tha fol
lowing, day over 1,000 bushels
ttere gathered. By Wednesday
evening all of the taanels of the
big dryer were filled, and they
hold over 2.000 bushels. It is
estimated tka by this, time ia
the seighberhoed of 5,000 bash
els will have been gathered since
Monday. The dryer was fired
up, Tuesday, with a single boiler.
This -was found to be nnequal to
the demand made upon it for
heat and the following afternoon
another boiler was eoaaected.
Manager Johnson says that in
the main everything is moving
along as well as could be expect
ed. Of course, the machinery,
gearing, tracks of the tunnel,
etc., are all new, aad it is only
to be expected that there will be
more or less, friction. However,
within a day or so everything
will be running smoothly aad
visitors will see a sight well
worth theif time the largest
prnne dryer ia the world operated
at its fall capacity. They can

Jost now everything In the
way of real) estate is assuming
new values. Dariaf the past
few months many eastern people
have come west in search of new
hemes, where climate, general
heal thtulaess ; and fair opportu
nities for . 'business enterprises
present themselves. Many of
these people have chosen Bea
ton county as the nearest perfect
of all places ascsrdinz to their
deas. .', .
Among tne new-comets are
men of means who have been in
easiness in other states and who
have the necessary, cash and1
energy to Insure success in aay
country. - They will help to
baild up Corvallis; they will also
go into the country aad buy cp
farms. In many instances the
result will be the division ef
many of our large farms. When
the large farms - are cut into
small ones the; land will be bet
ter tilled aad the 'result will be
a greater yield per acre. An
other reason why people are com
ing to this locality to make their
homes is on account of the ad
vantages oflered. for the eduea-,
tion of the yonng. Corvallis
has a splendid system of public
schools. Above all, we have the
State Agsicaltural .College loca
ted here. This, it is Sate to say,
is the ereatest s-institution : of its
kind in the .West, It is a fix-
tare. It has a great endowmeat,
is thoroughly equipped with all
the latest and best apparatus,
and has an effiaient corps of in-,
structors. . .
This year Oregon has beea
blessed with abundant crops,
fraits of all kinds have done well,
g'raaeries . and baras are well
filled, stock is looking well, and
every-thing should assist ia
promoting a feeling of hope afli
good cheer. -'To those who.have
lately arrived it this section it is
suggested they visit the state
fair at Salem daring -the latter
part of this moath. What they
will see there ia the line of egri
enltaral aad hortlcaltaral exhib
its, fine stock aad various other
features that are wholly ours,
will cause them to feel glad that
they chose Oregon for their home.
We bid a hearty welcome to the

In the current is3ue of The

for literary workers," Dennis
Stovall, a Corvallis boy who
grad Bated from the O A C, has
an article relating to himself and
his work. He is at present liv
ing at Grants Pass, Southern
Oregon. The following extract
is made:
The nature of the many arti
cles I write is varied. None of
them are long. As a usual thing
my stories nearly all relate to
mines, or mining, as my home Is
ia - a gld-prpducin- region,
Lwhere nuggets are gathered in
stead of potatoes o beans.
Gold-strikes and rich 'discoveries
are frequent, and .for this reason
news ia plentiful. Ail the time
possible is spent at the mines
and with the miners, where ideas
float about as profusely as per
fume ia a garden of roses. The
roagh-clad and big-hearted pros
pectors, ,lpooket-hnaters,,r gold
seokers, miners ef all classes, fur
nish me with subjects. . I study
them and theif . modes, customs
and methods of work, as I da a
book. These people and their
environments famish me with
more subjects than I can rise
It is not a lack ef subjects, but
time to treat them that perplexes
me.
Taken all in all, the profession
ot nacs: writing is Sot a bad one,
There are trials, aad worry, and
labsr, ia this vocation as there
are ia all ethers; hut the right
way is to greet everything, good
or Dad, with a smile, for good
ness nadoabtedly has its reward
