Mr Brown has several trees of differ ent ages, only the oldest of which is bearinp-. The bearing tree is twelve years old. Last year it produced about a gallon of nuts, but this year it doubled its prod uct of last year. Should it con tinue at this ratio for a few vears it will rival the best of them. Mr. Brown says that the nuts mature early in the fall and that each spring there are indications of a very heavy crop. He thinks that when the trees get older they will do splendidly. One thing that seems to be in favor of the home-grown walnut is the fact that the shell is unusually soft and is easily cracked or opened. In size it is a trifle smaller than the walnuts of other climes, but what it lacks in size it makes up in flavor. j During the holidays, the force of men at the piling caiup was consid erably reduced. At present there are about fifty men employed and carloads of piling aie shipped reg ularly. When the weather is more Fettled a much iarger force will be employed. But few pople in this city are aware that there is a knife factory in Corvallis. Barney Casterline is the man whs is manufacturing these knives He is a splendid workmen and the pocketknives that leave his hands are most beautiful in design and workmanship. The Episcopal church, corner of Jefferson & 7th streets: Services in this church as follows: Sunday pchool and Rector's class every Sun day at 10 a. m.; morning prayer and serman at 11 a. m.

It is urged that all members will attend for the there is'to be an election of officers and consideration of new educational features that are being discussed. H. L. French, See. Herman Vehrs, 15-year-old son of C. II. Vehrs who lives northwest of this city, is seriously ill with pneumonia. Ho was taken sick December 22nd and was so badly off on Christmas day that Doctors Cathey and Farra were called to attend him. At one time his life was dispared of, but his recovery is now regarded as certain. Married at the M. E. parsonage, A'bany, Oregon, Dec. 2rfth, 1902, Mr. Jame3 j. John?t3n and Miss Strah J.

Mr. and Mrs. Johnston will take a short trip to visit friends in Hubbard and Salem and upon their return will reside on Mr. Johnston's farm, about four miles northwest ot Albany, in Benton county. Albany HeralH. A. J. Locke, who resides on the Yatea farm three miles east of this city, has demonstrated that there is money in feeding wheat to hogs. He fed G6 bushels of chopped wheit to teven head of bogs. When these animal were killed and dress ed they weighed 1646 pounds, an average weight of 235 pounds. He sold these porkers for 6 1-2 cents per pound, receiving for the seven, $106.99. Mr. Locke says bis wheat brought one dollar per bushel by feeding it to these hogs. Sold as thi raw product, it would have been worth but little more than hali as much. A Good. Showing. D.. B. Farley, whose efforts for the betterment of roads in his section has made him a leader in these matters, was in Corvallis, Tuesday. Speaking of the stretch of road between Monroe and Junc tion, which had the reputation of being about as bad as a road could be, Mr. Farley said that the portion of this road from Monroe to the Lane county line is now in excellent shape, and 2V2 miles of it is as good as any road in the county. Within the last two years about 4,000 yards of gravel has been put on it. A gravel loader is used and it has proved a great success as a time and money saver. It will, under favorable circumstances, load a yard of gravel in a minute. More than this, wagons are loaded on the level ground and teams that could draw but a yard of gravel from a pit, find no difficulty in pulling a yard and a half to the load. In fact, Mr. Farley says that 140 loads of gravel, averag ing 1 j( yards to the load, were hauled by six teams on the road in his district in one day last summer. Stockholders' Meeting. The annual meeting of stockholders of the Great Eastern Miaiog Co. will occur at the store of Milner A Wellsher, this city, at 8 p. m., Jan. 5tji, 1903, for the purpose of electing a board ofjlirectors, transacting such other business as usual ly cornea before 6uch meetings. between Woodmen teams from 1 Dusty and Philomath, that 500 men and women braved the ele ments and cheered their favorites in the strug-gle on O. A. C. field in the afternoou. Philomath was quicker in for mation and played a better of fensive game than the Dusty eleven, but the latter team put up a gritty defensive struggle. Dusty kicked off and Philomath worked the ball the entire length of the field for a touchdown with out surrenderinp- it. After this she had to earn all she got,- and her score in the second half was made on a fluke, Long securing the pigskin on a fumble and making a pretty 40-yard run for a touchdown. The contest was clean and exciting, and the final score . was 10 to o in lavor , 01 Philomath. The evening program was open only to Woodmen. The initia tory exercises at the Opera House, at which time forty-seven mem bers were introduced into the mysteries of woodcraft, was the most memoriable event of this nature in the history of this county. General Organizer Rog gers, of Portland; Col. Day, head of the uniform rank; Quarter master W. T. Macy, of McMinn ville; Consul Commander Reed, of Portland, and many other prominent members of the order witnessed these ceremonies and were enthusiastic in their praise of the floor work done by the uniform rank of Corvallis lodge. The exercises were concluded at midnight, and the Woodmen and ladies of the circle enjoyed a sumptuous banquet. This occu pied the attention until 1:30, when the gentlemen repaired to ; their lodge hall and chased the j hours with jest and song till 6 a. m. This demonstration has accom plished much for Woodcraft, and reflects great credit upon the en ergy and executive ability of the geutlemen having it in charge. Editor Gazette: Situated - in Lane and Douglas counties, in the Calapooia mountains at the head-waters of the Willamette and Urnpqua,' and only no miles southeast of Oorvallis, is a mining district which is destined to he Oregon's 'Cripple Creek." Bohemia district cov ering an area of 12x20 miles, or 240 eq miles and consisting of some 2,000 min ing claims and nearly 500 camps, 13 a wonder to all who behold her. Tall timber, steep mountains and pure water inspire the pleasure seeker. But there is more to this wonde-iful treasure vault than simple beauty k v . Leaving the Southern -Pacific railroad at Cottage Grove we take the stage, and for a distance of 35 miles, climb to these gold fields. For the benefit of our friends who have purchased stock in the Great Eastern Mining and Milling Company, I will say that this company has 19 mining claims of 20 acres each, or 380 acre3 of mineral ground, with abundance of timber and water. The work for this year has uncovered immense bodies of high grade ore. We have 600 feet of tunnel and eight distinct ledges. . The average of 24 as3ays we had run thi3 season was $109 3i per ton, which is j a showing to be proud of. Free ore can ba milled in Bohemia camp for $ jer ton and pay . Base ore can be mined and shipped in its natural state for $25, at a profit. ' It is, however, much cheap er to put in reduction works and ship just the concentrates. Our base ore is a sulphide ore with some schutes of lead ore carrying very high in gold and silver. The Oregon and S. E, railroad is al ready completed 22 miles, and is under rapid construction, which when complet ed to the mines, will cheapen transporta' tion and add great value to the district.
