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

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

enp goes to the team winning the
meet, and another cup will be

number individual points.

Condensed Milk Factor.
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.

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. Leba
