DEMOCRAT REPRESENTATIVE VISITS CORVALLIS CANNERY Plant Conducted by the Benton County Fruitgrowers Assn. Interesting Place. Continued from Tuesday, October 8. A representative of the Democrat yesterday visited the cannery at Cor vallis. It is now run by the Benton County Growers' Association, in charge of a competent superintendent. During the past season a specialty has been made of Logan and black berries, gooseberries, red raspberries, pears, apples, cherries and a few beans. The greatest trouble is in getting enough of an article to make it pay to handle it. Canning toma toes, for this reason, has not been en couraging. It is an interesting fact that North Albany is the best toma to section in the valley. While the returns are not all in, the superintendent reported the probable price for Loganberries as 4 cents, blackberries 3 to 3J4 cents, gooseber ries 3 cents. About 30 cents a bushel is paid for apples as they come. The best blackberry for canning is the Evergreen, the best strawberry the Wilson, the best red raspberry the Cuthbert, the best cherry the Mt. Mo renci, then Royal Anns and Lamberts. Beans can well, but peas are very doubtful. The cannery is well equipped and is meeting the demand for a market for the things mentioned; but much more is needed to make a cannery pay as it should. It is up to the valley producers to furnish the goods. Under the system patrons pay $1 for membership in the Association, entitling them to its advantages. Be fore receiving checks for the products the final settlement of the season has to be awaited, a drawback, but prac tically the only way until the busi ness is more thoroughly developed. W. J. Graves of Edmonton, Atla., arrived in Albany last evening and is registered at the Van Dran hotel. Mr. and Mrs. Walter M. Pierce of Hot Lake, Oregon, returned home this morning after attending a meet ing of the board of regents of the Oregon Agricultural College, of which Mr. Pierce is a member. Mr. and Mrs. J. K.

SEES GREATER THINGS IN STORE FOR INSTITUTION The Day of the Small College Has Not Passed Says the Portland Paper. The following editorial appeared in yesterday's Portland Journal: 'The latest candidate for public ap proval for rebuilding, enlargement, and progress among the schools for higher education in Oregon is Albany College. "The college, in its present location, has an excellent reputation for ser vice during many years. Hut its op portunities have outgrown its capac ity. The trustees had to elect be tween expending a large sum on re pairs and enlargement of existing buildings and equipment, and of un dertaking the great responsibility of acquiring a considerable tract of laud, commensurate with the prospective Albany college, and of providing in due time the cost of the new struc tures. "They have taken the bold course, regardless of the labor and energy it will involve. They announce that every effort will be made to have a recitation hall and two dormitories ready for use during the year 1913, at a cost ranging between $125,000 and $140,000. "A very attractive sketch of the new campus and of the intended college structures accompanies the trustees' announcement. They have done very wisely to determine on their require ments, and on the style of architec ture that commends itself to them, at this early day. The amount of mon ey involved is estimated at $500,000. "Thus, another proof is offered that the day of the small college has not passed. No exception must be taken to the adjective "small." "Many parents prefer for their boys and girls the smaller classes and more individual attention that are fea tures of the smaller institution. And they lay stress also on the atmos phere that surrounds such colleges, which, without sectarianism and ex clusivcness, yet admit the religious list as compiled by the committee: Class A.
