S. H Moore dropped into our of
fice a day or so ago and presented
one of his ideas that is certainly
entitled to some consideration. Mr.
Moore has been through the great
walnut producing section of Cali
fornia and observed conditions there.
A year or two ago he traversed a
large area of country along the
Oregon coast and paid considerable
attention to the soil. He is a firm
believer in the possibilities for
culture of the English walnut along
the western slope of our coast
mountains. He knows of but one
English walnut tree in, the coaBt
section and that is at Nestucka.
This tree is a prolific producer cf
nuts, thus giving support to Mr.
Moore's theory. Surely here is
something well worth trying. It
this country should prove itself a
home for the English walnut there
is a great future for the coast coun
ties. At any rate it may eclipse
the prune business.
J. H. Stevenson spent, Wednes-
- . . i i -i .
day in our city ana empioyea tne
time in a manner that is certain to
do Corvallis people some good. Mr.
Stevenson is a writer on the Tele-
; gram, be h known, and a good one,
too. All of the articles appearing
in that journal over the modest
signature of "J. H. S." are from the
yen or our visitor and. ara of a
nature that take hold. As a general
thing when a metropolitan paper
sends a representative through the
country it is either with a lot of
bills or subscription blanks, but in
this instance these credentials were
missing and Mr. Stevenson was just
as welcome aa though he had been
properly armed. In fact, "J. H.
S." was out in advance of the
party of business men who are due
in this city today and was making
a write-up of each city the party
would reach with the intention of
having the Telegram containing
said article land in such city simul
taneously with the excursionists.

To those who enjoy mirth,
music and song the coming ot
Richards & Pringle's Famous
Georgia Minstrels will be hailed
with delight. This sterling or
ganization has weathered the
theatrical seas tor twentv-eight
years, never changing manage
ment, and not once departing
from their established rule of
presenting only what is great,
good and wholesome in the
minstrel world. Other minstrel
companies have come and gone,
but Richards '& Pringle's go on
forever. The secret of their suc
cess has been the fact that the
management has always believed
that the paying public craved a
genuine colored minstrel per
formance when presented on the
ines that made minstrelsy so
popular years ago: there belief
has proved to be a correct one.

The members of the Corvallis

up their mmas to give tne singers
of this town an , opportunity to
distinguish themselves and other
wise to make use of their talent
this winter. It is their intention
to organize all those with a fair
knowledge of vocal music into
one grand chorus, the object of
which will be to render on some
evening in the near future, a few
of the musical classics.
The proceeds of this entertain
ment will be devoted to the in
terests of the Improvement Club

It is the desire of the Club and
the majority of those who have
been consulted, to give selections
from Mendelssohn's "Hymn of
Praise" as part of the attraction.
This work is familiar to many of
our singers and as there are a few
dozen of these books in the pos
session of local singers, it has
been decided to occupy the time
of the first meeting by practice
on these numbers.
All singers who can trust them
selves in chorus work are cordial
ly invited to meet in the College
Chapel. Monday evening, Nov-
