weeks. All warrants from July 6,
707, to Jan. 2, '08, are being called
for, the treasurer having on hand

ment. The fact of Benton's freedom

fiable pride.
The decree of fashion that women
hall wear long gloves has created
a great scarcity of kid skins. It
ppears that four pairs of short
gloves can be made out of what is
required to produce one pair of the
loug sort. One of the large dealers
in New York says that his orders
for long gloves at this time exceed
his capacity to fill them by 30,000
dczenl And yet should the auto
crats of feminine fashions decree
the wearing of long-sleeved gowns,
thesuDply of kid skins would speed
ily become abundant, says an ex
hange. la urging the matter of a can
nery for Lebanon, the Criterion
ays: "Corvallis has just organized
a new oannery and Albany is again
working tor a cannery and a milk
condensing plant. Scio has nearly
stock enough subscribed to start a
cannery for that progressive com
munity. The whole Willamette
valley is awaking to the fact that
fruit and vegetables with their at
tendant canneries are the making of
this part of the state, and Lebanon
should not be in the rear in this
forward step."
Here is something for Corvallis
lads to read and ponder over. In
one of his speeches, Gov. Hughes of
.New York, said: "You don't make
Washington? by making them commanders-in-chief.
You don't make
Linoolns by electing them president.
You don't make Grants by putting
them in charge of the army. They
were made in their boyhood and
young manhood. They were simply
discovered at the time when they
were needed by their country. That
is what the American boy wants to
learn to fee in the position to be
discovered so that he can make
good, for the yearning country de
mands that in our American young
manhood."

mouth, Saturday, for a week's visit

Special attention is to be given to
scientific poultry raising this year
at OAC, Prof. James Dryden being
at the head of this branch . of the
work. Thirty-two poultry sheds
are to be built on the college farm,
south of Cauthorn Hall. There will
be an incubator house 20x30, with
concrete floor, four housees 7x14,
two houses 7x10 and 25 houses 4
x 6. It has been proven by experi
ence that the small houses give bet
ter satisfaction and better results
than do the large houses and sheds.
Prof. Dryden is thoroughly posted
cn all points in this work and the
new departure at OAC will be
watched with interest.
The Job add ton auxiliary of the
Fire Department made a record run
of five blocks in three minutes, Sat
urday noon. The blaze was at the
Dennis home and although there
were 20 firemen on the scene within
four miauteB after the alarm sound
ed, ready to do or die in saving
proDerty, the free use of a small
garden hose cheated the fire boys of
their coveted glory, as the fire was
extinguished before they arrived.
The incident proves the wisdom of
having lire apparatus located in
that section of the city, however,
for had the trouble been of any con
sequence there were men enough
quickly at hand to haye handled
the situation and taken care of the
property.
Phillip S. Bates of Portland, pub
lisher of the "Pacific Northwest,"
was in Corvallis, Friday. He is
plaaning to take another party of
22 Oregon, Washington and Idaho
girls on a trip to Boston next Au
gust for the purpose of advertising
Oregon and the Pacific Northwest,
and incidentally to add to the cir
culation of his publication. Mr.
Bates made twi sucn trips East
last year, taking first a party of
Oregon girls and then a party of
Washington Delias, and this year
he will make a greater attempt than
the former in this line. Miss Alda
Metcalf was Benton oounty's repre
sentative in the Jamestown trip and
Mr. Bates wishes her to take up
the work again for the trip to Bost
on. It is probable she will decide
to do so.
In what was probably the fastest
and best game of basketball ever
played on the OAC floor the swift
five of Muscatine, Iowa, now tour
ing the west, went down to defeat
before the swifter OAC hye in a
game in this city, Thursday night.
Trie visitors had defeated the famous
Dalles aggregation two games and
had won from OAC in a previous
contest a few nights before, but witb
the addition of Swann and Bilyeu,
the old OAC stars, to the loeal team
the Iowans were outclassed and met
their first defeat in Oregon. In 60
games played on their western tour
they have lost but ten. Swann and
Bilyeu have gained much in skill
during their recent tour and their
new and up-to-date trick plays
brought down the house, while the
other men on the home team play
ed a brilliant game and deserve
their proportionate share in the
honors. The score was 34 to 23 in
favor of the OAC. The local line
up was Foster, center; Swann and
Moore, forwards; Bilyeu and Spires,
guards, Rooper playing in Spirea'
stead, in the second half; and the
Iowa men were: Lilly and Williams,
oenter; Kautz and Fuller, forwards;
HayeB and Morgan, guards.

It takes a first class dairyman to feed
two eews the year round on one acre of
bottom, land; it takes a good man teearn
per head $80 par year, equal to $i60 for
two cows for 365 working days. Your
bench land ean never produce feed to do
so, but it is more adapted to bring forth
better apples and other fruit if well taken
care of at 100 working days during the
year. Oa such land, Mr, Henry Steward
has produced in berries 1600 for his crop
on one aore last year. His land bad been
valued at $75 per acre; last year he re
fused $1000 per acre. What holds good
for him is good for you. Fruit trees
properly cared for and their products
gathered and pioperly packed never fails
to bring (400 and has reached $i200 per
year. Can you see what horticulture will
do for you? Coqullle Herald.
