Harold Strong went up Marys riyer yesterday to look after a drive of logs belonging to the Corvallis Piwmill. There is about 300,000 feet of lumber in this drive and it is delayed somewhere this side of Philomath, owing to the rapid fall in the river during the past few dayp. Should these logs fail to reach the mill this season, it will result in shortening the run this fall. Last Tuesday ushered in one of the most observed of all Jewish hol idays, known as Pesach, and com monly called the Passover, or Jew ish Easter. This holiday is observ ed throughout the world by ortho dox and reformed alike by the change in the daily diet. Every thing leavened is removed, and only unleavened food is consumed. The holiday is observed during on? en tire week, and during that time .natzos" take the place of bread, nnd all pastry is made from matzos and potato flour.

In accordance with the manifesto issued by the city council at its ln'st regular meeting, the police offi cers of Corvallis served notice upon certain ladies of questionable repute lhat after Wednesday of this week their presence in this city would violate the ordinance framed to protect the city's morals.

Mr. Fruit went along as driver. All went well until the party were within a couple of miles of Albany, when one of the ladies produced a pint flask and invited Mr. Fruit to take a drink.

Those who -are holding off until fall to buy are loosing some great bargains. The etomologist of the Oregon Agricultural College has performed a valuable service in issuing an in structive bulletin on " the codlin moth, and the necessity for spray ing. This ppst can be and must be eradicated and exterminated from Oregon orchards, and if there are any orchardists who wili not at tend to that duty the Jaw should do it for them, at their expense, even if the destruction of the in fected orchards is necessary. Tele gram. Only about 1.300 voters have registered in this county for the coming Juno election. A trifle over two weeks remains for the GOO or 700 others to quali-y, which they will hava to do if they wish to ex ercise the right of franchise. With 16 days left in which to register, there must be an average of 40 reg-I istratio'ns per day. On! one clerk can give this matter attention, and if the average is permitted to grow much larger, t ome one is going to be compelled to resort to blank "A" on election day. W. W. Carmichael, wife and son and daughter, arrived Tuesday from Morocco, Indiana. Mr. Car michael is the father-in-law of JJr. P. A. Kline, who recently purchas ed the Wilson Brooker farm near this city.

The total yield of Oregon hops last season was 74,000 bales. At an average price of 9 cents growers received $1,250,000. According to present indications the Oregon crop this year should be fully 100, 000 bales. It is estimated that b3tween 1000 and 1500 new acres are planted in hops this sea son. The young shoots aie grow ing fast. Never before have they looked so well. No complaints are heard of waims, and few hills are missing. Contracts with growers for delivering the crop are made generally at 12 cents a pound. The Dalles Chronicle devotes a column of space to a highly laudi tory account of a musical concert given by local talent in that city. Of interest to Corvallis people, is the fact that the concert was given under the direction of Rev. D. V. Poling, who also rendered a vocal solo. Another performer well known here wa3 Mark Long, half brother of John Spangler, of tliis citv. The Chronicle says of hisi clarionet solo: '"Ever since Mark Lopg came to The Dalles he has been a favorite musician. His pop ularity was proved last night and the applause was deafening as he finished his solo." April 22nd is the anniversary of j a date in the lives of three citizens of Corvallis, which stands out like a wagon tongue. Last Tuesday W. A. Wells, E. Holgate and H. X. Robinson were ' engaged in conver- J sat ion, when the -latter rememoerea I that 11 years ago upon that date his leg had been broken. Mr. Wells recollected that April 22nd matked t he anniversary ot his ue Dairies and Creameries. The dairy industry in Benton county is still in its infancy, but it is showing a rapid growth. It is only a year or two since the first creamery was started in Cor 'allis. When the idea of start ing a creamery here was hrst conceived manv of the knowing ones wagged their heads and pre dieted that it would not prove i successful venture for the reason that a sufficient quantity-of milk could not be obtained. Today there are two creamsnes 11 this city. Farmers who for years raised wheat at a loss have taken up with the dairy business and they are all doing well. It is rather a slow proposition, starting into dairying, and it cannot be ac complished without time. One must have good milch cows, the fields formerly sowed with grain must be converted into pastures, and there are other drawbacks at the start. Considering the brief time since our farmers first took up with the new industry, wonderful advancement has been made. Throughout the country there are mauy small separators and there are ten times as much milk to be obtained today as there was a couple of years ago. Mr. Kaupisch, manager of the Corvallis Creamerv, informs us that they are uow receiving 4,- o pounds ot milk daily and cream from hand separators mak ing about 400 pounds of butter per day, and,, at the rate the business is picking, up, he considers it safe to predict that within the next ten days his creamery will be making something like 600 pounds of butter per day. The creamery maintains a wagon on the Monroe route gath ering up milk and cream and it is the intention to put a wagon on Beaver Creek route within a short time. The price at pres ent paid for butter fat is iS cents per pound. Of course it is un derstood that the price of butter fat is iroverned bv the butter market. This business, from start to finish is of great benefit to both county aud town. It has been said that .whsu you find a man in the dairy business that ou also find one with a few dol- ars in his pocket. Market for Oregon Lumber. In a letter to the Columbia River- and Oregon Tknberman, Consul H. B. Miller, writing from New Chwaugr China, says: Replying to yours of Nov. ist, 1901, 1 beg to say tnat I nave given considerable attention to the subject of the lumber market in China, and I have become, convinced that the future trade u Pacific Coast lumber in China. is 'cerlam to be extensive and permanent. For more than a thousand miles up the great valley of the angftze there is practically no timber in sight. The plains. lills and mountains, are absolutc- y bare of shrubbery or timber ex cepting here and there a few trees are cared for and protected. I have viewed the question of the lumber market from every standpoint of my observations, and am firmly convinced that the consumption of Pacific Coast lumber will continually increase in China and with the increasing demand, will eventually com mand the trade. I have only been able to dis cover two mills in all of China. One is located near Fuchua, and has but a small capacity; the other is here at New Chwang and has just been started. This one is a small, single circular saw mill, that cuts about two thousand feet per day. This mill was made in Michigan, and seems to meet the requirements. Mrs. Mary Hunter. The death of Mrs. Mary Hunt- j er occurred in this city at 10:30 o'clock Tuesday night. The de ceased was born in the borough town of Fralee, in the county of Kerry, Ireland, in the year of our Lord 1S37, and T?as aged 65 years. Her maiden name was Mary Rvau. Previous to her marriage to Peter Hunter in 1S61 she taught school. She and her hus band crossed the plains to Ore in 1S64 and settled in Corvallis the followinggyear. She has re sided in this city continuously since that time. She lost her husband iu 1S77. Through all her earthly afflic tions she patiently bore her cross and it is trusted that she will wear her crown. She was al ways a loving wife, a devoted mother aud a faithful friend. She was a true" gentlewoman of the olden time. She leaves a daughter. Miss Helen Hunter, of this city, and a son, William Hunter of Lewiston, Idaho, and a sister in Salem, Oregon. . - The funeral services were held at the Catholic church at 9:30 a. m., yesterday, and were conduct ed -by Father Jnrek. The re mains were enterred in the Cath olic cemetary. - r Factory Notes. . Manager Cramer, of the Organ Factory', returned last week from a business trip; to Portland. Among other purchases made by him while in that city, - was an item 01 36 buggy tops. These will be used in the completion of a number of rigs now on hand Mr. Cramer intends starting on a trip through Southern Ore gon by team about June 1st, with 15 or 20 wagpns and bug- oric onrl o 1 ft-f tinmbpr nmotic As he disposes of these outfits along the route, Vhe will return the extra teams . to Corvallis. Speaking of the large pipe or gan which an enort is being made to place in the M. E. church in this city, Mr. Cramer sa d that the instrument would cost about $i,2oo. Indications are now quite favorable ior the success of the movement to secure the organ for this church. Un der the contract, Mr. Cramer has ten months to complete the work of installing the instrument, but he hopes to have it ready for ser vice early this fall. j No Lack of Funds. Enough tickets have already been sold to insure sufficient funds to cover the expenses of the May festival. ;. The commit tee of ladies appointed to canvass this city, took up the work the first of the week, with the result that 400 tickets ,.were quickly disposed of. This guarantees $600 of the necessary $800 to cover expenses. Enough tickets will be taken in other towns and during the Festival to more than make up the full amount. - The Festival this year will be far ahead of anything yet attempted by the choral union. A feature will be the orchestra of 32 men. composed of members ot the symphony orchestra of Portland. Special rates will be made by all the railroads, and arrange ments are being made for an ex cursion train from Albany every evening during the Festival. The- Blind Cannot See. The Sentinal, published Franklin, Nebraska, contains a t an item concerning the return of one of its citizens.O. F.j Hay den, from a trip to Oregon.; Mr. Hayden was absent from : Nebraska but three weeks, yet his power of obser vation is so keen that he makes bold to utter the following: "There's nothing worth a after one gets 100 miles west of Franklin. It's all alike from Nebraska to the Pa cific and from Mexico to Alaska. No thank you, I have a plenty. I have come back to-stay." We want to congratulate Mr. -Hayden on his safe return to Nebraska. Shrewder people than be is have been lost in the stretch of country covered by his imagination. ... Mr. Hayden spent one day in Corvallis; not half time enough for even a casual inspection of the buildings at the Oregon Agricultural College. Dr. Thompson. An excellent half-tone of Dr. E. J. Thompson, formerly pastor or the Presbyterian church in this city, appeared in yesterday's Telegram.
