GOOD OLD BENTON.
It is said that "self praise is
half scandal." If such be true
we are going to scandalize our
selves for we propose to touch
on a few of our good points.
Lit us state first of all that the
lare majority of those born
within the bounds of Benton re
main here happily and are loath
to leave. Following this thought
we will say that nearly all who
come here from the East are sat
Uaii to remain. It may be
pointed out that a large major
ity of the few who came here
from the East in past years and
were dissatisfied and returned
to their old haunts, later turned
their faces westward and are
many of them once again domicil
ed in Benton. This tells a story
most eloquent.
Why snould it not be true?
We . ;ve the finest soil, wood in
abundance, ahd the purest of
water. The summers here lack
that excessive heat which is al
most unbearable in the eastern
and middle-western states. In
comparison with the East our
winters are a dream. There is
mt a day in the year when one's
life is endangered by remaining
outdoors all day. A man may be
uncomfortable nothing more.
He vill not freeze to death.
There are yet many acres of
land to be purchased at a reason
able price in Benton county. The
land is productive and in the
way of diversified farming hold;;
out great inducements to a pros
pective locater. The dairy busi
ness is destined to become the
greatest of all industries in this
county. It is but a few years
since all Benton could boast was
a little "family bu..ter." Now it
is diirerent.
we nave two splendid cream
eries in Corvallis.' During the
past year business has increased
so much that both creameries
have been compelled to enlarge
their plants within the past two
months. And yet this business
is in its infancy scarcely beyond
conception. And mere are
many uuier promising neius
awaiting those who are yet to
come among us and bring with
them a little capital and abun
dant capital, confidence and
energy.
No man of a family need feel
alarmed over the problem of
education for his children
should he locate in this county.
This matter is solved for him for
all time to come. No county
can boast better public schools
than we have. Philomath has
well-known colleges and for
years has been especially active
in educational work. In Corval
lis we have most excellent grad
ed schools, with high school ap
pended.
Here is located the Oregon
Agricultural College, the pride
of the entire state. It is the
largest educational institution in
Oregon and has a generous en
dowment from the tederai gov
ernment, besides beingjliberally
provided for by the state. This
institution is situated adjoining
the City of Corvallis, has an ad
mirable campus, of ample dimeri'
sions, many large, handsome
buildings, boys' and girls' dor
mitories, as well as a fine farm
attached. It is both a college for
higher education and a school of
industry.
Many things are yet to be born
to Benton in the'way of industry
and general advancement. It
will be a case of "first come,
first served," so clamber into the
Benton county bandwagon.
There are also worms here for
the early birds.
JUST A SUGGESTION.
For
Petty "Qrafters" About
Town Pranks Done.
Petty thievery seems o be the
life a misery to manv an inhab
itant. Putting anything in the
line of edibles out on the back
porch for safe keeping has come
to he a regular Jack-in-the-box
performance, for it is a case of
"now you see it now you
don't."
The story is .that recently a
nice fat turkey was put in a barn
on Third street, awaiting the ax
that was to render him fit for a
sumptuous dinner. The owners
were congratulating themselves
on what a fine spread they would
uave, but upon going to the barn
next morning turkey, ccop aud
all had disappeared and along
with it a half bushel of apples.
Another evening D. A. Os-
buin, the happy looking night!
watch of this city and his estima
ble wife were to entertain friends.
David came down town, pur
chased the ntcessary amount of
ice cream, borrowed a new, shin
ing tin pail to take it home in
and placed the dainty on the
back porch to keep cool. At the
proper time the ice cream was
called for to be served, but a
frantic search failed to reveal
cither cream or pail. Mr. ()-
hurn declared that he would
nave cared nothing for the cream
f he had not bad to pay for the
pail.
A wheel barrow disappeared
from J. R. Smith's on the same
evening that the turkey aud ap
pies were appropriated at the
Third street home.
A few evenings ago a large
painting valutd at $2; and used
as an advertisement by the glass
blowers who visited Corvallis
iast week was "swiped" from
the opera house by unknown
parties, and some one also hull
ed a rock through a window at
t'ue M. L. Earnest home about
the same time in the week.
These happenings are becom
ing tar too common to be funny.
If there is any right minded per
son who can call petty th'vrry
by the name of sport we fail to
ste it from their point of view.
"As a twie is beat so's the
tree inclined" and the young
boys who fall into such habits in
the name of fun and trolic are
taking desperate chances of run
ning up against something that
may sound line "fines" and "dis
grace ."
Governor at Philomath.
Governor Chamberlain deliver
ed an address, Thursday night,
before the Philomath college fac
ulty and students, taking as his
suVjfet, "Modern Legislation
and Legislators." A dispatch
from Philomath says: "He sharp
ly criticised the late legislature
lor its failure to provide new
sources of revenue to meet the
larger apropiiations passed at the
session. The tax commission
bill was pointed out as a particu
lar measure that would have
largely counterbalanced the large
figures of the appropriation bills.
The growth in Oregon of the
spirit for the exercise of larger
powers by the people in govern
ment was cited as an effect of ab
surb legislative powers, and was
commended as a vindication of
the contentions of Thomas Jeffer
son. At the conclusion of his ad
dress the governor was presented
with a handsome oil painting,
the work of the art teacher in
Philomath college, and the gift
of the faculty and students.
The presentation speech was
made by Professor White of the
college, and the gift was grace
fully acknowledged by the exec
utive. Real Estate Transfers.
