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

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.

read were most ably prepared by
men of experience and the discus

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

"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.
