Andrew Carrick, Poster,, At last accounts the only case of smallpox in this city, that of Billy Williams', was getting along nicely. His mother and step-father, who are quarantined with Williams, havt not shown any signs of tak ing the disease. In many places about town fruit and ornamental trees are being pruned and hedges 'trimmed. At the big prune orchard of the Ben ton, County Prune Co, north of town, men have been engaged at the work of pruning for ten days or longer. This looks for the world like spring was upon us. Marsh Simpson, of Elk City, well known to all old timers, passed through Corvallis, Tuesday, en route to Polk county. He has business down there that requires personal attention for a lew days. Air. bi m peon brought out some speciniens of coal that he has lo cated near his home in Lincoln county. The coal exhibited here seemed first class in every way. Frai k Howell came out from Aleea, Tuesday. He has spent the greater part of the winter over there and says the weather has been all that one could ask for. He expects soon to have employment with the Benton County Lumber Co at their mill southwest of Philomath. It is not likely that this mill will start sawing for a month or longer, but active operations preparatory to starting the mill will begin in the course of a week or ten da3'S. Last Wednesday, George Smith purchased six hogs at the OAC farm. Three of the hogs were full grown and their united weight was 1,510 pounds; the other three were nine months old and weighed 830 pounds. Thus it will be seen that the six hogs weighed 2,340 pounds, or an average of 390 pounds apiece. The hogs were worth 5$ cents per pound on foot and the six of them brought $122.85, or $20.77$ each. This would tend to show that there is money in hogs. Old-timers have observed many things about the weather conditions and have many things to say on this subject that seem reasonable. A party stated a few days ago that it was. now almost too late to ex pect any snow to fall this year, even in the mountains. He said there was very littlft snow in the mountains, in many places where there is usually snow at this season there is none at all at present.From this state of affairs he argues that there is little danger cf severe frosts later on. It is to be hoped that his weather forecast will prove to be correct. j - W. A. Sanders, JewaTer. - Trade your old wheel in on a Rambler bicycle at the Bicycle Hospital. - v- Rev.

It said further, that at the Iowa Agricultural College during the first two weeks in January this year, 400 farmers, representing nearly every county in the state, attended a Short Course in. judging stock and grain. The attendance at the college chapel Tuesday evening for the purpose of rehearsing the choruses of the oratorios that are to be given in this rity. next May was un usually good. There were nearly 100 out and under Mr. Nash's di rection they practiced the choruses of "Elijah" and everything is re ported to have progressed nicely. The next meeting will be -held in the college chapel Tuesday evening, when it is hoped that there will be a good attendance; it in also desired that those who attend will go pre pared to buy their books. There seems to be considerable enthusi asm felt as a result of last Tues day's rehearsal. Last Sunday at his home about a mile out of town, F. A. King was the victim cf quite an accident. It appears that he was riding a horse and when he reached the barn concluded to ride in through the door as was his custom. There waB a till that the animal was obliged to step over in going through the stable door and instead of walk ing sedately in, the animal, in a spirit of caprice, jumped over this' sill, lhe door was low and Mr. King was struck on the back of the head, neck and shoulders by the timbers and quite seriously hurt. A frien 1 chanced to be near at hand and he was given what as sistance was necessary and at pres ent is getting along as well as could be expected. Mr." King is over seventy years of age and has had a narrow escape, indeed. George H. Lamberson, secretary of the State Board of Horticulture, returned today from Corvallis, yhere he attended the third an nual convention of Oregon Fruit growers, held February 13 and 14, at the State Agricultural College. Mr. Lamberson says the conven tion was a brilliant success in every respect, the attendance being large and representative. The papers read were most ably prepared by men of experience and the discus sion following the reading of the papers were enthusiastically enter ed into. Hon. E. L. Smith, of Hood River, who was elected chair man of the eonvention, yesterday afternoon delivered a well-prepared address to the students of the col lege. The visitors were generously entertained by the good citizeus of Corvallis, a fact much appreciated by the fruit men.

The pupils of the primary grade of the public school and their teacher, Miss Currin, will .enjoy a ride on the steamer Leona tomor row. They will go up to Peoria and return, and it is a safe predic tion that it will be an occasion that the youngsters will remember as long as they live. A surprise birthday party was given at the home ot Mr. and Mrs. Chas . Chipman', Wednesday night, in honor of Mrs; Albright. The evening was pleasantly passed in playing games and listening to se lections by T. W. Dilley's phono graph. Refreshments, consisting of ice crea m and cake, were served. Miss Mamie Cauthorn gave a pupils' recital at her home in this city Wednesday evening. She has a good class on the piano and each pupil was allowed the privilege of taking a friend with her to the re cital. A very instructive and en tertaining program was rendered and the pupils acquitted themselves most creditably. It must have Deen gratifying to the members of the University of Oregon Glee Club to be greeted by so large and enthusiastic an au diance as assembled at the Opera House last Monday evening to hear their program. Every number was encored with a heartiness that gave no room for a charge of partiality. Especially enjoyable were the vocal solos by Professor Glen. He has a rich baritone of great range and flexibility, and his method is ad mirable. Mr. Frazier's work at the piano has been the subject of much favorable comment. A few good stiring glees would add much to the enjoyment of the program, which on the whole was quite meritorious. so that a common standard ot progress will be reached weekly, Next Tuesday evening's meet ins: will aiso be neia in trie col lege chapel at 7:v as the most familiar meeting ground. A little later on it is intended to hold practices in the City Hall through the courtesy. of the City Council and:ihe Firemen..

He embraced the opportu nity to speak in prais of his sec tion of - the country.' At the time of writing he was In Irlnis fail. Alberta, N. , W T. He says: - ; "We have the best country there is in the world. We have a country as large as the United States and there are less than 6,- 000,000 inhabitants in it; so you see the amount of room we have for settlers. We have the great est number of acres of grazing land still vacant that there is on the globe and it is fertile farm ing land. It is just the country that I have been looking for all of my life. There are thousands of people in Oregon who could do well here and I think I shall go down and canvass the coun try for settlers. . We have not fed a straw to any stock this winter, excepting calves that we were weaning." It is evident from the above that where Mr. Wells is they have had an unusually mild winter. Next winter they are liable to feed stock in Alberta. Tax Items. Monday morning the books were opened in the sherift's of fice for the payment of taxes. Many have taken advantage of the 3 per cent rebate " offered where th taxes are paid before March 15th. During Monday and Tuesday "fifty receipts were given by the sheriff. " This shows that things were pretty lively in the sheriff's office duf ing this period. According to law one-half of the amount of one's taxes must be paid by April 1st or there will be a pen elty of 10 per cent of amount of the taxes added, and 12 per cent interest charged for whatever The weddinjj of Mr. Hoscoe S.
