The tree stands six feet high, with a trunk 1 inches in diameter, and on November 4th, he picked 61 quinces, which weighed 14 pounds. A foolish rumor has been in cir culation on the street that Mr. Brunk, of the Occidental was about to sell out his business and retire. This has no foundation in fact. Mr. Brunk proposes to stand by the old hotel, now doing a better busi ness than ever, and will serve as good a turkey dinner on Christmas as can be had in Corvallis. The Salmon hatchery on the Ya quina river, near Toledo, has just received a shipment of Salmon eggs of the Chinook variety.

Rev. Carrick officiated at the fu neral ceremony. Tne interment was at the Mountain View ceme tery, better known as the Lock cemetery. Dealers in holiday goods inform 1 us that tne rush for Christmas presents commenced much earlier this year than usual, and that trade in that line is better than for many years past and each year finds & noticeable increase over the one previous. The rural classes are again in a position whereby tbey cart lay aside something with each year and be able to observe the holidays in a Belf-8atisfying manner. The busy quartette of the Agri cultural department of the O. A. Ci, Messrs. Withycombe, Kent, Knise ly and Cordley, had no sooner fin ished the labors of the Dairymen's Convention, than they have" to break camp and rush off again on another busy trip. They left on the noon train Thursday for the southern part of the Btate and will hold a farmers' institute at Merlin, in Josephine county, followed by another at Jacksonville, in Jackson county. Miss Maud Kerne, the capable and efficient teacher of the first grade of tha public school, has re signed her position and accepted a similar one in the public schools of Eugene. She leaves for that city on the Saturday train. Miss Kerns has .been one of the most popular teachers in the school, and has en deared herself to" both pupils and parent. Her loss will be regretted by all. No arrangements have as yet been made regarding her suc cessor. The Willamette Grange is show ing a spirit of growth and activity. It recently constructed a barn 80 feet long to shelter the horses from storm. It is capable of holding 40 horses. They are soon to improve the Hall eo as to make it more comfortable.

The city council has passed an ordinance voting themselves the sum of $2 each per night for each sitting of that body, ' says the Port land Telegram. At this rate it would cost the city $20 every time the council meets, in spite of the fact that the charter distinctly pro vides tnat tne members composing this august body are to serve with out compensation. As a matter of fact the ordinance in . question was passed and approved some time ago, but the matter was nevpr brought to the notice of the public till with in the last few days, when a promi nent Corvallis attorney circulated a burlesque petition to the council requesting them to make ; this ordi nance retroactive so that the heirs and families of the 300 odd ex-coun-cilmeti who have served since the city was first incorporated might also have the benefit of this $2 graft. The petitition also contains a set of resolutions thanking . the present city fathers for the modest valuation placed upon their services ces by: themselves,- as they might just as easily have voted themselves $200 as 200 cents, - - ' Pictures and Dk jeorated Ware- The Bi g Store is now at its best, so just come play.
