GOOD FOR ALL. Not long ago in one of the leading newspapers of the state there apppearad a notice contain ing: information to the effect that certain eastern cannerymen were seeking a location in Oregon. Immediately upon the publica tion of this notice one of our public-spirited citizens wrote a letter to the cannerymen invit ing them to investigate the ad vantages of Benton county. So far an answer to this communi cation has not bsen received, bat for soma scarcely explainable reason we expact that the can nerymen will have a representa tive look into the advantages of fered by Benton. Tha eastern capitalists aie looking for an advantageous lo cation for a cannery for fruits, particularly small fruits. We know of no batter location for such an industry on the entire coast than right here in Corval lis. Year after year the pro diets of Benton have become more diversified an d wheat rais ing as the main crop of the coun ty is rapidly losing its hold upon those who till the soil. Hence it would be an easy matter to find those who would gladly wel come a fruit cannery. With assurance that a cannery was to start in or near this city the amount of small fruits that would be at the refusal of the proprietors of the cannery with in a couple of years would be as toundingnothing less. This is a natural country for small fruit no place can beat us. Soil and climate are both adapted to fruit culture. A fruit cannery need not de pend wholly upon fruit. Vege tables for canning purposes may be secured at almost any time by the ton. Cherries, apples, pears, plums, prunes and peaches do splendidly here and would be obtainable in large quantities. In small fruits we produce to perfection nearly all marketable berries. It does not require a very active mind to see the advan tages of such an industry. It would furnish an almost entirely new field of labor small fruit raising for market. Many would engage in it and find it most pro fitable. Berry picking, like that of hop picking, is a labor which may be done by all, men, wo men, boys and girls. . Such an establishment in or near this city would be of inestimable value to the entire county. Nothing bet ter for all concerned was ever conceived. : So far we have dwelt largely upon the benefits' of such an Fri. Band. ! enterprise to our people. Let no ! man with capital and inclination and the necessary knowledge for ! such a business side-step at what Benton county has to offer. The natural advantages mentioned are as greatly to the interest of the canneryman as to the fruit- raiser. The most attractive fea ture of the whole proposition is I that it is detrimental to no inter est, but is to the advantage of all classes. Boost it. Why Is It So? The Corvallis city election oc curs on Mav 20th. but for some unaccountable reason apparently little or no there is interest citizens, I taken in the matter by j nor is there much if any discus i sion of the candidates for the various offices. The condition is not in accord wich what should be the policy of a progressive town. If good officers are not put in office by the votes of the people, what can be expected of the town? The candidates may be and doubtless are all good men, but it is up to the people to see that a wise decision is made' and that when there is more than one candidate for a position, to see to it that the very best man for the place be elected. Electing a councilman may not appear a very serious matter on the face of it, but when it is taken into account that the city council frames and passes ordi nances that govern the town and have a bearing on the personal rights and privileges of every individual residing therein, the selection and election of these council men in the various wards becomes of more than passing importance. Corvallis should elect a mayor and councilman who will do the best things for the city and for every resident of that city. This should not be left to ;e nance nor should the election go by default and just "any old thing" be al lowed to run for the various of fices. The election should be given the same careful consider ation that a man would give to his own private business, for in to the hands of these officers is turned the welfare of the city. Instead of "kicking" and ' knocking" after election and abusing the officers for this, that and the other, it would seem the part of ordinary "horse sense" to do a little thinking and a lit tle helping before hand, to the end that Corvallis may grow and prosper and the interests of all her citizens b foperly protect ed by judicious city legislation. A party of horse tradera have been camped on Mary's river flat this week, and one of the men hag attrac ed much attention ' about town. He is ot.'y about four feet tall but well proportioned for a dwarf, hie heed and body beiog of average size, and with a pipe-in his mouth and an exaggerated air of importance, the little man . ha? strutted alone Corvallis streets, seemingly indifferent to the fctares of n ilPiaannered public.

Happens Next Month Will Ex hlbit Other Stock. Corvallis v. ill have a horse show. Tuis tnuch is assured, and there is general satisfaction over the fact. Toe success ot la.t year's show was such , as to convince all observant persons that the show was a good thing and a paying tbing; for the town and county, and with their usual energy the citizens determined to hold another affair of this sort this year. A subscription paper was start ed this week by George Arm strong and was liberally signed. By some of last year's committee men it was figured that $200 would have to be raised to assure the success dt the undertaking, aud Wednesday morning that mount had been secured. It is proposed this year to hold a three ddys' show, the first day to be devoted to tbe exhibition ot fine horses, the second dav to fi je cattle, an.l the third to sheep, joats and swine, . tbe latter to be displayed in crates which will be iiauied on wagon?, as no stock pens are available in Corvallis. Sy this arrangement every farm er in Berkon county m ;y easily becotne an exhibitor, . as there ar but few ranchers but have fine stock of some sort that' is, or could easily be. made, .fit for show purposes. - . It is also the plan . to award cups to the winners instead of can prizes, as it is believed that this will be more pleasing to the m ijority. . The cups can be kept more thiu a life time and proud ly handed down to the next gen eration as family heirlooms, whereas the cash would scarcely bs any inducement to many of the exhibitors as they generally are men of some means. The frne of Benton as a stock county has been heralded abroad since the horse show last year, as has'been shown by the continual presence here of horse buyers from other sections and other states. These buyers have brought into Benton many hun dreds of dollars which they have paid for good horses, the prices being far more liberal than farm ers have heretofore realized for their animals. And it has come about largely through the horse show of last year Now that some of Corvallis' wide awake men have taken up the matter again and have raised the necessary funds to assure the project, let, every. farmer take an interest in making the show a big affair, by getting his stock in shape to exhibit and by being present to "boost" the horse show and say a good word for Benton. Pathmark la the best breeding horse in this coun try. And I uuderstand there are some who are giving it to him in tbe neck. And as this is bis last season here I will cut loose and stand him at $20 to incurs mare in foal. 40 J. C. Croft.
