see about making arrangements to
place. a steam ferry on the river

KNOWS THEIR WANTs.-While
in conversation with S. L.
Kline, the dry goods and general
merchandise proprietor, not long
since, a representative Of the Ga
zETTE was giving a short history Of
his career in this line of business
while in Corvallis. He became a
partner with his father, L. G.
Kline, in the merchandise bust
ness on June 80, 1870, the location
being where Philip Weber's furni
ture store now is. On January s,
1874, the stock of goods was re-
moved to its present location, and
on January 1, 1884, he purchased
his fathers interest and became
sole proprietor. 1t is now nearly
twenty years since S. L. began this
vocation and by taking a glance at
his large stock Of goods carried and
the amount Of business done by
him it can be readily seen that he
has made the wants Of the people
of Benton county study and no
business man is better prepared to
fill them than he,and that he will re-
main here for the next twenty
years, there being no intention on
his past of closing out business Gin
the spring" He has good line OF
groceries always on hand. and has
a fine lot of clothing, dry goods.
furnishing goods, hats, trunks.
hardware, carpets, and oil cloth,
suitable for the city as we'll as the
country trade. He has the most
obliging clerks in the city and this
alone is a great inducement to the
public.
The PRoFs. MOVEMENTS Since
it was requested by the board OF
regents Of the agricultural college
that all Of the professors of the col
lege should make a three weeks
canvass of the state to show up
the workings of the institution
the members of the faculty have
pulled straws and are required to
90 as follows: Prois. Lake and
Arnold get the southern Oregon
district, Profs. Grimm and Hall
get the middle or valley section,
and the three greyhounds Of the
college-Profs. Bristow, Berchtold.
and Letcher, take in the eastern
Oregon section. AS stated before
the idea is to show the aims and
purposes Of the college and to try
and induce larger attendance at
the school next season. Prof
Irish, having been but recently
married, was excused from this
work and he now is enjoying the
sea bl ezes, ETC., at Newport.

state horticultural society met in
Portland on Tuesday and held an
interesting discussion over the
prune and the best variety for Ore
gon culture. The preponderance
of argument was in favor of the
Italian, as s'the prune of all prunes
to be grown i'll Oregon. because it
is ofsuperior quality to any other
now known that has now been
thoroughly tested, and because it
is a prune that can be grown in
Oregon better than any other
country in the world and therefore
will meet with less competition
than any other in the markets of
the world" 1t was thought best,
however, tocultivate other varieties
also, and upon suggestion of S. A.
Clarke, a resolution was adopted
recommending the Italian, Petite,
Golden Drop, and Silver prune as
the four varieties that last through
the prune season and are the most
profitable.
A RELIc.-On a wall IN the GA
ZETTE'S business and ed itorial room
hangs a round piece of tin about
80 inches in diameter with the fig
ures, minute dots, and hands, of a
clock painted thereon. This piece of
tin was made in 1854 and placed
ON the cupola of the old court
house then in course of construc-
ton. On Wednesday, July 10th,
1889, just 'thirty-five years after
wards, it was taken off and given to
a representative Of this papor as a
''relic of the old court house." The
old court house building has been
given to Andy limerick providing
he will tear it down and clear the
ground Of the material taken out.
Wednesday evening blocks and
tackle were hitched to the cupola
and it was pulled over. The tim
hers all just about as sound as
when placed there thirty five
years ago.
Work IN Low WATER.-1t is
mistake, it seems, to spend so much
money during the winter season
upon the Willamette river. At
that time the water is high and
snag-pulling is unnecessary. Then
boats can go anywhere. If the
government engineers would re-
verse the order of things navigation
could be followed during the year
round. If III the summer, says an
ex., when the water is at low
stage, they would pull out all snags
and build wing dams, thus confn-
ing the water to a narrow channel,
vessels of good draft would exper-
ience no difficulty in navigating
during July and August.

IMMENSE TgAvEL.-"Note and
COMMENT in last Sundays Ore
gonian, says as follows, concerning
travel over the east side road:
Big trains are the order of the day
and July opens with an immense
travel. A few days ago the south
bound California express had 233
through passengers aboard, besides
heavy lot of. local passengers.
Wednesday evening of this week
(the 3d) saw an even greater
train than that. There were four
sleepers in the train and the num-
Der of local passengers equaled
anything ever known. The officers
of rhe road said it was the heaviest
train known in two months. The
engines used are scarcely equal to
the work, and occasionally the
heavy grade at Aurora requires
that the train back for over a
mile to get it started again. Be-
sides the heavy through traffic, the
passengers on the local train are
increasing, and the local travel by
the through train is even heavier
than by the Eugene special"

cognition alike from Americans,
French and English. There is no

only fair, but there are many novel
things among the machinery de-

guards of the American depart

S. marine corps, numbering about
80 men and two officers. They

tends continuing his business at
Yaquina City and will move
there shortly having purchased the

goods here are marked away down
as he desires not to move any
more than possible. The GAZETTE
loses one of its best patrons in Mr..
Nolan's change of place and only
wishes that he would change his
naind in regard to moving before
the time set. 1t is always bad
showing for a city to see old firms
close up and go away.

 HARTFORD, March 4.-The announcement Of the eiopement of Justice Mansuay, a men,- ber of the board of fire commissioners and president of the large carriage alanufactur- ing concern of Mansuay & O., with Mrs. Ellen Bliss created considerable excitement here. Mrs. Bliss came to this city about twelve years ago with her husband. She was born in East Windsor, where her parents now reside. Her husband had few hundred dol lars and opened a novelty store on Asylum street He was devoted to two objects. his business and the affectionate care of his beautiful young wife
 Mrs. Bliss was then 27 years old, and her beautiful dark eyes, which flashed brilliantly. and faultlessly propor toned figure gave her striking and attractive personality There was a wide disparity between the ages of the couple, but this was compensated by the care and attention the husband bestowed upon the wife.
 Mansuay, who was man prominent in all social affairs, met Mrs. Bliss at Goyernor Lounsbury's reception two years ago and im- mediately became captivated with her. His attentions to her were marked that at last her husband became suspicious and some time ago procured divorce from her. Since then she lived in tho Waverly building in rooms rented by MT. Mansuay. Friday the couple left for New York together. and have not been seen since. Mrs. Mansuay on Saturday took her personal effects and went to her fathers home at Rutland, Vt

 While on the other hand plain Ben Har- rison at o'clock, without the power to name the pettiest postmaster, in less than thirty seconds thereafter becomes, so to speak, the virtual master for good or for evil of a nation of 60,000, 900 of human beings, with the power of life and death in his hand, with appointments galore and with all the respon- abilities, the endorsements. the predica- ments that this implies.
 The procession is said to be nearly five miles in length, and fully three hours will be con- stunned in passing the grand stand It has many striking and unique features, which excite enthusiastic cheers. No person in the parade has attracted more attention than Governor Foraker of Ohio on a fiery, pranc ing black stallion, which he rode with com. manding grace, and seemed wholly undis- turbed by the plunging of the steed. His was the most gorgeous array of any person in the procession. Governor Beaver of Pennsyl. vania, the grand marshall also came in for a full share of attention.
 The decorations along the line are more elaborate than ever before known on similar occasions. The procession exceeds considera- ply in point of numbers any former one, and the crowd of spectators that line the streets greatly exceed any previous gathering on March 4. Four years ago 5000 men in line escorted President Cleveland from the Capi- tol, and were reviewed by him as they passed the grand stand; but to-day 40, 900 men in line form the retinue that follows the new chief magistrate from the Capitol to the White House A characteristic feature of the parade is the large number of political and other civic associations that appear in the line of march. One hundred and fifty of these organizations, numbering perhaps 20, 900 men, representing every state and territory, are in the parade, and these, with 5000 c.
