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. " . -

H0H3E SHOW ASSURED.
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.
