Mr. Walden, who resides at corner
of Second and Harrison streets, has
a remarkable little quince tree in
his yard. 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 busy quartette of the Agri

break camp and rush off again on

another at Jacksonville, in Jackson

by all. No arrangements have as

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

valuation placed upon their services
