On Saturday. February Slh, 1 made
an official visit to Crowfoot Grange,
which is located about three rules

Tli is is one of the best regulated

and dispatch.
'J he officers are nearly all young
people who take hold of their work
readily, and they thoroughly under
stand '.hat tlu'y have to do.
A. H. Brown is servmg his second
term as master, and has had only a
short experience in grange work, but
he is well versed in the performance
of his duties.
They have 110 members and arc
( ontinually adding to their numbers.
One reason of their success is that
they are striving to be as near per
fect as possible, and this has much to
do 'with their future prosperity.
They now have undertaken a
scheme of co-operation which if fol
lowed up as it should be, will be, of

MISFITS
Contributed By F. P. Nutting.
'$
(Reminiscence No. 3.)
Deaper, a boy orator, was mention,
ed among the sneakers in the presi
dential campaign of 1880. lie was
under 21, but made one of the best
snccchcs of the campaign, attracting
a good deal of attention. Like too
many precocious people he failed to
make good later and was soon lost
sight of. As a rule the successful
men rf the world are those who plod
for what thoy ger.
The price of weekly newspapers
gives an illustration of the times. The
Democrat and most other weeklies
were $3 a year. This price has since
gradually decreased and the eastern
price of $1 to $1.50 now prevails
thioughout the slate.
Wheat was then the almost ex
clusive product of the county, the
farmer depending upon it for his in
come. The product of the county was
estimated al 1,500,000 bushels, prob
ably twice what it is now. Farmers
have done well in diversifying their
business, branching out into dairying,
stock, clover, fruit, etc. The value of
land has increased several fold.
At that time Albany's opera house
was at the present site of the hard
ware store of Stewart & Sox Co. It
was an old barn of an affair owned
by David FYoman, but served the pur
pose. It was also the scene of many
a dance, and the Misfit man remem
be, s tripping his clumsy toes over the
waxen floor, with music by the Mc-Knight-Crawford
orchestra, the pres
ent county judge and W. W. Craw
ford, the Ford auto man, being star
performers, having a wide reputation
as musicians.
The first sermon the Misfit man
heard in the valley was by Rev. R. L.
Stevens, in the Episcopal church at
Corvallis. It was a very plain affair
in which the minister told his people
how he had worked for nothing and
even built his own fires and did all
the janitor work. Rew Stevens was
also "astor of the church at this city,
and afterwards devoted his exclusive
time here. He was an original genius.
Besides preaching he was active in
athletics, a member of the Linns,
champions of Oregon, and occasion
ally invented in threshing machines,
etc.
A name omitted from those here in
Sept.., 1880. was Mary Golden Bib
ycu, then a dressmaker, now residing
at 225 West Third street. Mrs. Bilyeu
had the distinction of making the big
Hancock & English flag, used in cam
paigns until worn out. She was as
sisted by Flora Rumbaugh, now a res
ident ot corvallis.

who was arrested yesterday morning
by Sheriff ltodiuc, charged with vio
lation of the local option law, decided

jaM sentence of ten days. The ten

is not paid, 75 more days will be added
