The n eet is to be given by the athletic association of the Oregon Afiiicultural College and the first movement towards hold ing the affair was made by Ben Piikington during bis terns as aibleiic manager, and the work merely staittd by him has been canitd to a very ' gratifying ter mination by Manager Weather- ford. . The asscciation is backed by the entire student bedy in this inlet-scholastic meet, which is the first ol the kind ever held in the state. Several bundled peo pie are expected to witness the event, and both students and cit izens are sparing no effort to make it a succes?. Special committees are at work providing for the enter tainment of the visitors while they are in Corvallis; a reception will be given jbem on Friday evening and a grand ball will be given on the evening after the meet. Iu ibis meet for the first time !iu the athletic historv of the state j the high schools will have an op portunity to compete in this line of athletics. The meet recently , held in Gastem Oregon demonstrated that the students there are to be well represented in the meet in this city. They have some ath letes that will be beard from in future events. The Portland schools held their meet Satur day, and it is evinent that they will sendsome good men, while Astoria, Eugene, ' Roseburg and Salem will be on the spot with first class material. With all these in the contests there will be sometbiug doing every min ute.

Besides these, a silver enp goes to the team winning the meet, and another cup will be awarded the school whose men capture the relay race.

I he proposition was submitted to a number of tht leading busi ness tven. some two weeks -to, to build a condensed milk fac tory in Albany. The pioposi tion was. made by a gentleman whose came is witbeld ti r the present pending further definite action on the part ol the busi ngss men. This gentleman pro poses I erect a plant in All n: to riii at least $ 75, coo ar no poses that Albam shall sub?cribr itock to the plan,' which be as serts will be a money n aktr from the start. The machinery of the plant will cost in tfce neighborhood of fdo.coo. fctock will b" sold at $500 a share. The plant whet built is to be capable of turning out at least 10,000 cans of con densed milk a day. The gentle man is now making an inspect ion of the countrv adjacent to Al bany to ascertain if the field is such as to wairant the building ot the milk condensing plant here. The pionosiiion to erect the milk condensing plant h' re has met with favor by almost all the leading protessicnal and bus iness men, declares the Herald, and present prospects seem to indicate that the plant will be established. The next meeting of those interested in the estab lishment of the condensed milk facicry here will be subject to call ol the chair. Prune Outlook. The prune crop in Linn coun ty will be nearly, double what it was last year according to the statements ef those familiar wii h he situation at present, says the Herald. In some localities the crop is light, but taking the crop throughout this county and Benton county, as a whole, the crop outlook is exceedingly bright, - Lisselle Brothers, the largest pruue shippers in . this part o' the valley say that they expect to shjp about 200 cars of prunes this coming season. They re port that the 01 chards are look ing fine. Lasselle Brothers have fio acres in prunes in this county a few miles from . town, , from which they expect in the neighbor hood of 7 : cars. Last year the crop was about half of what is expected this season. The orchard of L. C. Stratton east ot town, will yield perhaps two or three cars of prunes and D. W. Rumbaugh wbo has seven aud a half acres in prunes, when in town vesterday, stated that he would have about 2, poo bushels this year. Real Estate Transfers.

ANNUAL FAIR DISCUSSED. Corvallis Would Profit by It What Business Men Say. There is considerable discus sion again just now of the sub ject of an annual fair for Benton county, and the project of buy ing laud on which to hold such a fair. For several years this subject has "bobbed up" at certain seasons and tnere are many conservative business men who declare that the undertak ing could be carried through with success. It has been estimated that about 100 acres of land would be required for the purpose, as race tracks, stock yards, pavillions, giand stands and other necessary buildings would have to be put up and would require consider able land. As to the cost one business man says $ 0,000 would do it, while another is of the opinion that the expense would amoun. to nearly if not quite $20,000. , The amount would, of course, depend on whit the land would cost. Now that an annual horsj show has become a feature ot the year in Corvallis, and the fact that a general livestock show is to be given this spring, there is more than the usual amount of discussion in regard to the estab lishing of a permanent county fair, and the opinion serms to be that it would be a good thing and a piying thing for the coun- Divided up into shares of stock the burden of expense would fall lightly on all and there are men who, a year ago, would have ta ken shares of $500 each, while many others would then, and probably would now, take small er shares ot 100 to $200 each. The state college is here and could and no doubt would assist in the project, and backed by a stock company composed of our own enterprising business men and prosperous ranchers, the thing could be done while the tale, is being told. Why not give the matter a moment's con sideration? It would certainly he a great thing for the town and county. Other counties have established annual fairs and have succeeded. Why not Benton? T. J. Sparkman, of Corvallig, and R.. L. Smith, of Shawnee, Ok., ha.e located in Lebanon and will open up a real estata office and devote th&ir entire aUention to tha land business. There 6ee.us to be a g-od opening here for such a business if pushed by reliable and energetic men. These men come with the very highest recommendations, ar,d may mccees attend them.
