H Dick Smith went to Portland, Thursday, to spend a week Bight seeing. "': Art Henkle and wife, Miss Anna Spencer and Merwin McMaines were out in the Rock Creek coun try, Thursday, after trout and booked 58 of them. Although there was not so large aThouse to $rrft the second per- M I lin.l.l f o iormance v1 jDcinuaai no firat iiiffht there was a very respect able turn out and everything mov ed off nicely. Mrs. Lizzie Estes and children are expected to arrive some time durin? the week from San Fran- ciani. Mrs. Eetes is a sister of flan a i fiiitinflnn of ih.R (tv. with whom she will visit indefinite ly. . Last Thursday evening, when the horses on the James Osburn place just across the Willamette river Ifrom this city were being VlllVUU. uu v - - animals fell and broke its leg. Mr. Osburn was oblieed to shoot it., : . : A letter received in this city last Saturday from A. W. Rose, proved him to be in St Louis at the time of writine. "CaD" stated: that he would start for borne the first week in May, so it is barely possible that he may at present be "hitting the trail." ; The "Shirt "Waist" dance given under the auspices of the Ladies' Coffee Club last Friday night was a great social, success. Just how some of the gentlemen social lead ers felt in Bhirt waist3 we dare not prophesy, but it was novel and that waB sufficient. The Old-times dance given in Marshall Miller Hall last Friday night was largely attended and was m every way a success. A genuine old "hoe down" to the tunes of "Arkansas," "Hell on the -Wabash" ana otner neei-jnspmng meioaies is an event long'to be remembered. There is to be , a meeting of the Benton County. . Citizens' League in Firemen's hall' this evening at 7.30. It is urgent that all members be in attendance, . as eome matters of special interest are certain to re quire consideration. Now don,t wait for the other fellow to go, but ebow up yourself. Last Friday, "Matthews, the Jeweler," presented Lieut. Quinlan a veiy .handsome pair oi cut diamond cuff buttons as a trophy in , the competitive drill contests between the yarious cadets of the OAC regiment. It is thought that a series of competitive drill con tests will be held this week. ' ; John Buchanan was in town a day or two ago from his farm some 12 miieB south of this city. Johnnie is just about through seeding for this year and will have 400 acres of grain in. - He is of the opinion that there is nothing to the summer fallow .idea and the experience they have had at home convinces mem mat. me Tesun in ine long run is not beneficial for the soil. This is the conclusion arrived at on the Buchanan farm after a good many years experience. - J. J. Cale, who has a prune or chard in Linn county, some six miles east -of Corvallis, brought a few branches of Italian prunes to mis omce last t riaay. . au over the limbs prunes were set as thick as they could well be, it seemed to us. and Mr. Cale is of the opinion that he has a pretty good setting of prunes in his orchard. From var ious prune-growers we hear the re port of a small crop prospect. Mr Cale attributes his success in prune culture to the fact that he culti vates his orchard during the latter part of the season. J. M. Porter sheared eighteen neaa oi nis sneep last weeK and a gratifying showing was made. The lowest any fleece weighed was -12 pounds, while one fleece weighed 21 pounds. Or the eighteen head sheared the average is about 17 pounds per fleece. With wool at 25 cents . per pound this- looks pretty good. The past winter has jfceen an uncommonly good one for slock and this is one reason for nliAAn fihAftrincr art Vien w ' A Iiahtttt " zr a ' " - j clip and an unusually good price for the same, is what may be term ed a very happy combination. .- . , - Saturday evening one of the series of debates for the Gatch Cup occurred at OAC.; It was between the Sorosis and Pierian societies ' and the subject of debate . was, "Resolved, that the government of the United States should own and control the railroads." The Pierians had the 1 affirmative, while the Sorosis ofi course represented the negative. The Sorosis society came off victorious. The last named society was : represented by Misses ' Belle Bonney, Agnes Sweek and Bessie Snipes, while Misses Alice Edwards Minnie Phillips and Edna Smith battled for tha Pierians.

Philips, of this city, recently received a letter from his son, James, who is mining on Dominion creek, Clondyke. James expects to clean up at least $10,000 tins season. V Last Friday evening, Charlie Chipman resigned his position in the grocery department of F. L. Miller's store. Just what plans he has for the future he has not divulged. The Red Men's excursion train from Portland reached this city at three o'clock Sunday after noon. There were eight coaches and a stop of only an hour was made in this city. Yesterday morning 'Gene Simp- son exhioitea down . town a oox containing nine little. China pheas ants, recently hatched and just about big enough to whistle. b or cuteness they beat the "monk." 0 Sunday being the birthday, of Miss Bessie Yates, it was celebrated in fitting style. A hack was hired and about a d izen of herJriends, mostly college students, drove out to tb foothillB back of the Sol King place and enjoyed a regular old-fashioned picnic. The steamer Pomona has made her last regular trip to this city for the present. The Oregona takes her place and will bo up tomorrow.

C. : Henry is employed gathering statistics tor the census department and is at present . in Missouri in charge of a number : of men. He writes m , high terms of Missouri. The Red Men's excursion train from Portland reached this city at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon. They came up the East Side to Albany, switched over the C & E to this city, thence down the West Side to place of beginning. There were eight coaches in the train. A stop of about ah hour was made in Cor vallis, but not many of the excur sionists came down town. , v v What seems to us a very pleas ing idea is the custom started of tapping the fire bell one stroke at 12 o'clock noon. We understand that there is some minor objection to it, but there can be found ob jections to almost anything. There can surely no harm result from a single tap at 1 2 o'clock: The bell is sounded by electricity from the central office of , the Independent Telephone Co. Mrs. Walter Yates and daughter. and Wilbur Yates, wife and child, of Crawfordsville, Linn - county, took dinnor at the home of Mr. and Mrs; Joseph .Yates of this city. Wilbur Yates is a grandson of Jos eph Yates and the child of the former is the great grandchildjof the latter. Four generations at the same table is not a common thing in life. Messrs. ;-W E. and J. F. Yates, bath attorneys of this city, were present on this occasion. 'Harry Holgate returned from Portland last . Friday ? evening to remain here about a week. Ha is in government employ, in connec tion with' the reclamation of land in the Klamath Falls section ' at present, and recently went to Port land to lookup a matter of law for the government. He found that he could look the matter up aa well here as there so came back nome From here he will go back to Port land, thence most likely to Klamath Falls again. : Harry, we are pleased to note, has been very BUCcessiuL : . I SWINE AT LARGE.' According- to Law. Hogs Must Not Run Loose.; There seems to be a difference of opinion in some parts of the county concerning the legality of swine running at large, some maintaining that there is no law against letting them run, and others maintaining that there is. Section 4238-39-40 , of the Statutes of Oregon make provis ions by which any county in the state may submit the matter of swine running at large to a vote of the legal voters at any general election in any year. According to the section above mentioned p. vote was taken on the 6th of June, 1886. for or against swine running at large in this county. -' The vote for run ning at large was 623; against 712, giving a majority against it of 89. Due notice of said vote was published in the county papers, as required by law. . Section 4242 of the Statutes reads like this: "A person find ing any swine running at large contrary to the provisions of this act, and any constable oi any precinct, or marshal of any city of his tounty where such swine may be found, od view or in formation, shall take up and con fine the same forthwith, giving notice thereof to the owner, if known, and if . not known b posting notices; describing such animals therein, in at least three public places withinOthe precinct; and if the owner does not appear and claim his property and pay all charges for taking up, adver tisiag, and keeping the same, within ten days from the date of this notice, the sale of the ani mats may be proceeded with un der the law relating to estravs. : Section 4240 provides a penal ty of five dollars for the first offense, and ten dollars lor each and every subsequent offense, to be recovered from the owner of the swine by civil action in the name of tire State : of Oregon, before a justice of the peace of the precinct m which such owner or keeper, or either of them, may reside.
