notes with good security for all sums
above $10. The remarkable feature is
that not a single no'e was given, accord
ing to report, the buyers paying cash for
all purchases, a thing which old settlers
declare they have never before known of
in Oregon. Horses at the sale brought
from $159 to $225, and all other things
went for prices in proportion. Verily,
Oregoa and the Willamette Valley are
prospering.

An exchange says : "There is practical
ly no such thing as gratitude on the part
of the public for any moral service ren
dered by a newspaper. The same is
true of a favor done an individual by a
newspaper. To the average citizen the
newspaper is as impersonal as a railroad
corporation and the attitude of the public
is often to use it but to beat it if you can.
Every euitor has had good citizens urce
him to, at tick this or that evil, and
probably within a week after the battle
was fought and won, the same man for
some purely personal or business reason
would stop his paper and thia advertisement."

Because the livestock show held in
Corvallis recently was such a success and
the public so enthusiastic in continuing
them annually, the promoters have de
cided to make these shows an annual
event in the college town. What a hap.
py tbonght it was to have the farmers
and stockmen bring tbeir stock together
where the students of our agricultural
college will have an opportunity of visit
ing the show and studying the different
types in a practical way. To every Btu
dent taking up this branch of study these
shows are most valuable. We trust
these shows will be kept alive and made
annual events in the college town.
