well repays a visit and close exam
ination may be seen these days at
the Court House. It is the dis
play of flowers, the result of the
hard work and tender care of Jani
tor J. A. Hells. Probably the
largest morning glory in the city
is to be seen there. It is 20 feet
high with good chances of reaching
40 feet and has leaves six inches
broad. His sweet peas are eight
feet high and wonderfully luxuriant.
The nasturtiums, five feet high and
just opening, into full bloom, de
serve special mention and praise.
The green of the well-kept well
watered lawn mingling with the
variegated . colors, of the long beds
of flowers and the majesty of the
massive shade trees is a sight to
j cheer the heart of every visitor. -
The rush to the coast and mouo'
tains continues and more people are
going to Newport and the Cascades
than ever before. Uo to Wednes
day of last week over 125 tents have
gone in the baggage cars of the
Corvallis & Eastern railroad from
this city to Newport for people w,bo
will camp at the seaside for the sea
son, and the rush seemed, at that
time to be but fairly beginning.
More baggage has been taken to
Newport this season than in any
former season and more passengers
have been transported than ever be
fore. Every takes from 150 to 250
pieces of baggage ad three to four
cars loaded with passengers who
are going to the seaside. Other
summer resorts, such as the Cas
cadia Springs and the mountains
on the Santiam, are securing their
quota of summer guests- and the
railroads are crowded with this class
of travel. -

Seymour Chipman has just re
ceived from the Pension Bureau,
Washington, his certificate for an
increase of pension, ou account "of
age. This we believe is the first
certificate fiat' haB been receivsd
in this locality, since the new law
went into effect " All veterans of
the Civil Wan, who served 90 days
or over, and who have reached the
age of 62 years, are entitled' to a
pension on account of age" alone,
and this pension increases eyery
few vears. We hope every veteran
in our county who is entitled to
this reward for his faithful service
in time of our countrys nf ed, will
make his application at once.
... A , B. Cordlev, professdr of
Zoolpgy at the College came home
from tne Bay today to ascertain, if
possible, the name of the big fish
he caught at sea roceiitly. His
associates call it a "Grouper", but
the Professor says he can not find
such a name in the College library.
All he knows about it Js, it is toe
biggest fish he ever sawsome
thing, shorter in length than Main
street in. Corvallis. When he gets
a good and scientific name for the
wonder be will publish it to n ex
pectant world. . He also - caught
two sea bats and some flounders,
but they count for notoing when
compared with the "Grouper"
