the coast. I mPrp o t-rths:rtne walnuts as are
raised in anv country. 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

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

purpose of electing a board ofjlirectors,

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

Willamette and Urnpqua,' and only no
miles southeast of Oorvallis, is a mining

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.

A society event of unusual interest was
the double wedding which occurred in the
Catholic church in this city, Wednesday
morning. On this occasion the mar
riage of Albert J. Metger and Miss Ed
na Garrow, Wilbert W. Garrow and Miss
Alma King was solemnized. -
The church had been most beautifully
decorated for the occasion with flowere,
ferns and evergreens. Promptly at 9 a.
m., the hour set for the ceremony, the
wedding march was played by Mrs. F.

many friends, the bridal party- marched

This is but the beginning of a move
ment which we hope will be heartily sap-
ported by our enterprising citizens. It
is proposed, to ask the friends of the
movement to give as their membership
fee for the coming year the sum of fifty
cents. It has been decided to hold the
monthly .meetings on the last Friday of
each calendat month. These meetings
are held in the county court room for the
present All our citizens will be cordial
ly welcomed at these meetings. Other
Oregon cities ami towns are - taking , up
the matter of city or town improvement
looking especially to the beautifying of
the streets, the. approaches to railroad
stations, and tha cultivating of a taste
for flowers in our private residence yards
and gardens. Portland has decided to
make itself the "Eose Oity" by the time
the Lewis and Clark Fair comes on. Cor
vallis can be made as attractive as any
town in the valley with a little co-operation
and conference on the part of its
good people. This association will afford
a nucleus for such work. The first regu
lar meeting of the new year will be held
oa Friday evening, Jan. 3D, 1903.
