Fruit-Growers and Dairymen.
Fruit-growers and dairymen should
all examine tbcftiur Weeks' Special
Course to bu given by the Oregon Ag
ricultural College, beginning January
11, 1807. It is to consist of lectures on
the various phases of horticulture,
botany, entomology, chemistry, and
dairying, especially prepared for prac
tical men in these lines.
The college laboratoi ies, libraries
and scientific apparatus, including an
electrlo stereopticou for illustrations,
will be used lu connection with tills
course. Insect life, fungus diseases,
that cannot be seen with the eye, will
be magnified two and three thousand
times so that their nature and charac
ter will be plainly revealed.
Several specialists in horticulture
and dairying will deliver evening lec
tures. Such men as M.O. Lownsdale,
A. H. Carson, Chas. Dailey, Dr. James
Witliycombe, and others, will aid the
college with lecture work and make
the course of great value to the practi
cal people. The course is deslgued for
men and women who can leave their
farms and homes, only for a short time
and is planned upon a thoroughly
practical basis. No charge whatever
will be made for the course, and no
examination or t.ducatioual qualifica
tions will be required for entrance.
Farmers, farmers' wives, sons and
daughters, ought to take advantage of
this course. By this course they can
become thoroughly familiar with
modem thought, scientific investiga
tion and practical application of the
same. There Is a complete working
dairy at the college in daily operatioj,
and all of those attending will bave
the advantage of the practical work of
the operation of modern dairy machin
ery, including the running of the en
gine. All persons attending the course are
requested to bring with them speci
mens of insect pests or diseases of any
kind affecting their orchards, for ex
amination.
The railroads have made a rate of
one and a third fare for the round trip.
Those attending the course coming on
the East Side will buy a ticket to Al
bany and ask the agent for a receipt
for the amount paid for the same.
Those coming on the West Side will
buy their tickets to Corvall is and get a
receipt for the amount paid for them.
On returning, this receipt, with the
signature of the President of the Col
lege, will entitle the bolder to return
home at one-third the regular rate.
For further particulars, write to the
President of the College.

Public School Exercises,
Christmas exercises were held at the
public school building, by the scholars,
on last Thursday afternoon.
The program consisted of songs and
recitations by the pupils, followed by
able addresses by Rev. Lindsey, the
evangelist, M. A. Miller aud B. O.
Wallace.
Lebanon has a public school that she
may well be proud of. It is second to
none in the state, and under the able
leadership of Prof. Baker, and the val
uable assistance rendered him by the
subordinate teachers, this school is
growing better every day, aud will
8,mn reach perfection,
The scholars, both large and small,
acquitted themselves nobly, thereby
showing thut great pains is being taken
with them iu this work of learning.
No truer saying was ever uttered
than when Rev. Liudsey said that
"The public school is the star of the
nineteenth century."
Let all of our citizens give the teach
er their earnest co-operatiou in this
great work of education.
Better Outlook for Hops,
The first hop contracts covering the
crops to be harvested in 1897 in the
vicinity of Salem, says the Statesman,
were filed with the county recorder
yesterday by Julius Pincus, expert for
the local firm of Morst & Laehmond
Co. There were four in number and
the growers and number of pounds
covered are as follows:
F. Levy and George Sun (to the
above company), 25,000 pounds.
W. H. aud J. P. Holmes, 50,000
pounds.
W. H. Holmes and Hop Sing Co,,
30,000 pounds.
A. D. and Lewis Pettyjohn, 30,000
pounds. '
The price to be paid Is 10 cents in
each case, aud delivery Is to be made
between the dates of October 1st and
31st.
This is an Indication that Oregon
hops next year will not be a "drug on
the market," aud altogether the hop
groweis' prosect8 for the coming sea
son are very flattering,
From persons who have traveled
through Marion- and Polk couuties
the past week, it is ascertained that
there is much renewed activity iu the
hop yards prepatory to getting them In
fit Bhape for cultivation later on.

Auyone having city warrants that
they desire to sell will please cull at

Some people wonder how we
can sell such good merchandise for
such little prices. Others wonder
why we do so. The how and the
why matter little, so the tact re
mains. We'll say this, however,
this business has grown to its pres
ent proportions by doing just one
thing,selling good articles at low
prices. We are still doing this. If
