In a recent letter to his family, T. T. Barnhart, now at Everett, Wash., states that he is seriously coi.eidering the advisability of ac cepting a government situation at Bremerton. Ererett, according to Mr. Barnhart, is a thriving town of about 16,000 inhabitants, and he can secure employment at bis trade in that city if he wishes to do so. During the past week or ten days the officers in the clerk's office have been quite busy on the exten tion of the tax of citiep, road dis tricts, school districts, county and state. There are twenty-seven dif ferent columns of figures to be foot ed up and charged to the sheriff. Heretofore there were only som six or seven different items. This work, is about completed. They are milking twelve cows at present at the college farm. A short time ago they began feeding the an i mals on some corn silnge that was put up last fall. Altogether there were five small silos filled with corn for experimental purposes. Of the6e, three have been fed out and they are now feeding from the fourth one. The first fed was plain silage, the second lot was steamed, aud that which they are now feed ing was salted. Since being put on the coin silage the amount of milk given by the cows has been in creased. A record is being kept with a view to determining, it pos sible, which flyle of silage proved the most profitable to feed milk cows. Some days ago we printed an item stating that a ewe of Joseph Yates had given birth to four Iambs. Many old-timers thought this had not been equaled in this county. In conversation with a prominent stockman a few days ago, 4,he latter stated that a number of years ago a ewe of William Newman, south of town some ten or twelve miles, gave birth to four iambs. Two of these were raised by hand. At the same time two other ewes gave birth to three lambs each. From these one lamb each was taken and raised by hand. Thus, it will be seen that three ewes gave birth to ten lambs and every one of them was raised. If anybody cau beat this, we should like to hear from them. Hon. Wallis Nash whs in town Tuesday. He is president of the Willamette Valley Choral Union and came to drill the local chorus for the oratorios to be given in this city next May. On arriving in Corvallis Mr. Nash was greatly an noyed to find that the necessary books had not yet arrived Irani the East. On investigation he is con vinced that bv next Tuesday the books will have arrived and he hopes at that time there will be a good attendance of local singers. Such a long delay in the arrival of tbe books has been very trying to Mr. Nash, but it was unavoilable and there is no one to blame on this end of the line. Mr. Nash re turned to his home at Nashville on Tuesday's west-bound train. Our premium dishes for cash buyers have arrived. Nolan & Callahan.

Dr. Withycombe returned from Washington, D. C. , on Tuesday whither he had gene on business connected with the Oregon Agri cultural College. He while there met Dr. True, Director of the United States Experiment Stations, and Mr. Wilson, Sec retary of the Interior, and had especially pleasant and profit' ble conversations with them re specting station work ot the Ag ricultural Colleges. While lie was in Washington the question of location in the several states of the Schools of Mines and Mining;, under the new bill in troduced for establishing such schools, was taken Hp by the committee of which committee Mr.- Moody, of Oregon, is member. This committee met on February 4th and the comue tition between the Agricultural Colleges and Universities of the several states for the manage ment ot these schools was settled by compromise agreement that the bill creating the Schools o: Mines and Mining 'should be amended so that in such states as Oregon, where the State Ag ricultural College and the State University are separate institu tions, and where there are no mining schools already establish ed, by the state eacn 01 these schools is to receive one half of the appropriations lor such pur pose, l he bill lor these schools of mining was introduced last session of Congress, but was never brought up for final vote: it real ly was Interest in the Past. not reported back from , ... . . . . . ...

Ellis, an Eastern cattle and sheep dealer, was in Corvallis, Wednesday. Mr. Ellis had been inspecting western Benton and a portion of Lincoln county with an eye to range advantages. He says this country is magnificent for this purpose, and it is quite probable that he will purchase several hun dred acres, and stock it with cattle and sheep. Smallpox in Mild Form. After an absence of several years, Billy Williams arrived in Corvallis last week on a visit with his moth er. He spent Friday renewing old acquaintances. His face was cov ered with a rash, which aroused the suspicion that he was suffering with smallpox, and Chief of Police Al exander requested Dr. Farra to C3ll upon Williams at his mother's home, and diagnose his case. As a result of his visit, Dr. h arra ap peared before the council Monday evening and acquainted the city fathers with th$ facts in the case, and stated that Williams had smallpox in a mild form. Chief Alexander was ordered to quarantine the premises where Wil liams is confined, and the board of health was instructed to secure a pest house and take steps to prevent a spread of the disease. No new cases have thus far been reported. acres of land leased from the O A C and are raising beets on it Eph says that the Mormons are not as bad as is generally supposed and that up there they do not preach polygamy. They hold dances in a novel way, in somuch as they are opened and closed with prayer. Mr. Cameron states that busi ness in his line is good, and that section is generally prosperous. The mines of the adjacent sec tion contribute much to the well fare of the people of Union. Perplexed the Pastor. Weary somewhat with visiting this, the day, the Rev. M. Noble sat reading and resting in the evening of Tuesday last, when suddenly a young friend called in stating that some one wished to see him at the church. Think ing that perhaps some young heaits might be waiting anxious ly to be bound in the sacred bonds of matrimony, he hastened there. But lo! what a surprise awaited him. The church was full of people, of all ages, ready to greet him with words of cheer and radiant smiles, while on the platform heaps of good things were piled. The Rev. C Mac- Lean. Ph.
