vallis this week some samples of
Yellow Dent corn which was raised
on a farm adjoining that of Mr.
Yates' m Linn county, a few miles
east of this city. The corn is a
first-class article of its kind and is
hard to beat. On one-half acre
there grew 25 two-bushel sacks of
the corn. Admitting that the sacks
actually contained but 1 1-2 bush
els j each this would mean easi
ly 75 bushels to the acre. This
showing is certainly good enough
to convince anyone, however skep
tical, that Oregon wiil grow any
thing. Samples of the corn may
be seen at this office.

and Africa. During conversation he

collar, explaining that he had left
the missing article in Seattle to ba
laundered, and having depaited
rather suddenly, omitted to bring
it along. A volume of letters from
persons in various parts of the
United States testifies to Rev.
Swackhanner's ability as. a lecturer.
'The Uuse of Soap,' is not the title
of any of his lectures, as R9V,
Swackhanner prefers to talk on sub.
jects of which he has a more inti

' There is a case in the western
part rf town of a family in desti
tute circumstances, and with winter
at htnd and the mother unable to
provide for her little ones the case is
indeed pathetic. In the past Cor
vallis .people, charitaoly inclined,
assisted the family but the charity
all came at once, like a tidal wave,
and receding left the objects thereof
apparently more helpless than be
fore. It seems certain that the
kind-hearted ones of the town who
have anything to give will be called
upon to assist in the -care of these
helpless children, and the mother
as well, while the authorities will
doubtless see to it that some pro
vision is made br keeping the fam
ily from absolute want. i

The btide was very pretty in'an elegant
costume of white net over white silk, and
carried a bouquet of clematis and dainty
white blossoms. Miss Sutherland was

over yellow silk. The rooms were made
beautiful with a profusion of ivy and
chrysanthemums tastily arranged.
A daintv two-course luncheon was
served, and at a late hour the guests de
parted and Mr. and Mrs. Taylor returned
