Great Introductory Sale HIGHEST GRADE PIANOS, - The Occidental hotel has long been the most popular caravansery in thi3 city. The tables are always supplied with the best the market affords, and rates are most reasona ble. The building is large and commodious, and it3 many rooms are well furnished and cuoDlied with all modern conveniences Here is another item in. support of the Gazette's oft-repeated asser tion that there is a. big profit in raising hogs: A: K: Brown brought to Corvallis this week three hogs. They were six months and thirteen days old when killed, and the three weighed 398 pounds, dressed. Mr. Brown sold them for 6 1-2 cents per pound, receiving for . these little porkers $25 87, or over $8.60 for each of them. What promises to be the most exciting and scientific game of bas ket ball ever played in the college armory, will be contested this eve ning by teams of men representing O A C and Dallas College.

If the farmers are victorious tonight, they' need not be afraid to meet any team on the Coast. : J. B. Hills, who has a big logging contract on Lost Creek, came up from Corvallis yesterday to look after his interests. Mr. Hills said last night that he had about 5C0, 000 feet of logs boomed in the old channel of the river and that while they were Becurely boomed they were not expecting anything like this. He expects to lose a few of these, but thinks the Jogs further up the creek are all right: He also says he thinks there will be a big loss of stock between here and Cor vallis. Register. - The cadets at the college have a very creditable band thi3 year, and its music enhances, the enjoyment of e rery occasion in which the band participates." Here's a suggestion, however, offered gratis. Its adoption will cost nothing, and it is worth that much at least: The strain upon the musicians and their auditors can be greatly relieved if the former will not blow so strenuously when play ing indoors. Moderately - forte is sufficiently loud for any purpose, and the pjano strains, even then, come as a soothing relief. " Try it once. M. Porter, a pioneer breeder of Poll Angus cattle, Corvallis, Ore., was a caller at the Rural Spirit office this week. Mr. Porter says the "doddies" are doing fine, and if he can find a good man to feed and fit them, he will bring out a good show herd this fall at the state fair. Mr. Porter has the foundation for one of the finest hereto in the United States, ar.d he is beginning to reap a rich reward for his enterprise in this direction. Bulls from his farm are being sent all through tb Northwest as herd breeders, and one was sent to the - Hawaiian Is lands this fall. Rural Spirit. ALBANY,;;ORE.

After the reg ular morning exercises, when President Gatch had made his announcements preparatory to sending the students to the vari ous class rooms, Professor Berch told stated that he wished to say a few words to the stu dents. He called attention to the draped flags at the back of the rostrum, and the potted" plants and floral decorations about the chapel and said that all present were curious, no doubt, to know the occasion of this display. He explained by saying that -President Gatch had first seen the light f day January 28, 1833, and this recognition of the 69th anniversary of the president's birth was meant as a feeble ac knowledgement of the service he had performed for education, and the value of his efforts in be half of the Agricultural College: When President Gatch recovered from his surprise, he responded happily and the students mani fest their pleasure and apprecia tion by hearty applause.

This Property, Valtted at Mote than $1200, Was Deeded to Benton County in 1855. . Situated five miles north of Corvallis, on the top of a small hill, and in the midst of the moat picturesque surround ings, the Locke, or Mountaia View cem etery, has long been considered an ideal place of sepulchre. The earth is some four" feet deep, underneath which.is a soft sandstone, easily- excavated, makes J in leality a stone tomb lor those who are there laid at rest '. For a number of years no One seems to have known just what was the status of the cemetery as regards it ownership. Persons using it . for members of their family hav9 naturally desired to obtain deeds to the ground they . have used, and this has resulted in a survey being made at the request of Mr. A. N. Locke, under the supervision of Professor Skelton of the college, who found many difficulties in the way of making a plat on a uniform arrangement of streets and lots. Mr. Locke, having the perpetuity of, the cemetery in mind, arranged to have an association formed which could take title to the property, and give deeds to those persons whose relatives were in terred there, and the values were pro posed to be made in harmony with values in similar cemeteries, which would pro duee an amount sufficient to beautify and adorn the cemetery and make it an at. tractive place to visit. Among the proposed improvements was to be a running fountain and a per manent supply of water to be brought from a spring on a neighboring hillside above the elevation of the cemetery. A small and elegant chapel in which to hold church services, and, on occasions, funerals were included in the plan, streets paved, a drive-way, shrubbery and flowers were to be added, and in general the cemetery made as beautiful, as the $1,200 or $1,300 represented in the land now used for graves would supply. The association was to be formed under the law which requires seven members and three trustees, and that the proceeds of all donated land go to the permanent maintenance of the cemetery. Bat before beginning the work of improvement the records of the county were examined, with the result that a deed was found, which donated this cemetery long years ago, so that no one can make deeds to the land. Those who have buried there, hold by possession. Following is a copy of the deed: "This Indenture made and entered into this, the 21st day of August, A. D. 1855, between A. N. Locke,, of Benton County, in the Territory of Oregon, of the first part, and the Citizens of Benton County, aforesaid, of the second' part.

Eats Up Revenue. When the damage done, by the high water of this week to the wagon bridge across the Will amette at Albany, has been re paired there will not be -much left of the revenue derived irom toll on that structure during the past year. Last Monday, thirty feet of the approach from the Benton county- side was washed away. The Albany Herald gives this account of the matter: All forenoon people were cross ing the bridge t watch the whirl ing waters on the Benton county side. About 11 o'clock there was heard the sound of breaking timbers and shortly afterward that part of the approach nearest the bridge proper . fell with a crash into the swiftly flowing water. People who were stand ing on the weakened bent, barely had time to retreat to firmer foot ing when the approach gave way. As it was, three-people.

Will Begin a Week's Engagement at the Opera House, Monday Night. , Corvallis theatre-goers will be pleas ed at the above announcement. They are acquainted with Miss Shirley and her capable company, and are always glad to greet this little' lady whom they admire so much for her womanly qualities and cleverness as an actress. While the Gazette has criticised Miss Shirley's interpretation of various roles in the past, it has not done eo because of lack of appreciation of her ability, but for the reason" that it thought her efforts worthy of serious consideration. It takes pleasure now in commending her company to the patronage of Corval lis play-goers. Following is the repertoire for next week: -Monday The Deacon's Daughter.

Corvallis Ore of a circular to agents with the re quest that the information be spread as wide as possible, con tains the, following highly per- ' tinent and useful matter: - "I would inform you that the , greatest need, next to increased production, is a better finishing of the stock before sending it to market. During the early part of this fall, when fat hogs were in strong demand -at 6 cents, about two-thirds of the hogl shippd failed to meet the re quirements of the demand as rep sented by this higher price, and consequently had to be sold at a much lower figure. For instance, one morning there were five car- . loads of hogs in the yard, with a market that morning represent ing a demand from Seattle, Ta coma and Troutdah which" would have used this many hogs for any one of the towns men tioned, yet but one carload could be sold at the 6 cents, because the rest were too poor to kill out profitably to the packer. These four remaining carloads were sold at 54 and 5 cents. A few days later nearly the same condi tion was repeated, only in this instance the thin hogs could not . be sold , and the shipper was compelled to reship them to the vallev for feeding. 1 " (I have made careful inquiry of trie many shippers who bring hogs over , your lines into this market,' and I am convinced that it is possible more thoroughly to finish these hogs, before attempt ing to sell them. The complaints of some exclusive wheat farmers that this grain is too expensive to feed to hogs is so thoroughly dis proven by the magnificent 'suc cess of so many others, who are , every year increasing their use of this food for fattening hogs, that , the contentioni of the former class are unworthy of considera tion. Their failure can always be traced to some other source than the wheat."
