Thes. G. Mulkey, an old resident OF
Benton county, and one of the many
who, at various times, undertook to
steer the old "Benton Democrat" to a
haven of prosperity, has been nomi
mated by the dem ocratic party OF
Whitman county, WASH, for the legis
lature. Thomas Gaines has seen a
good many ups and downs and is like
ly prepared for any misfortune; and,
although democrat, his friends here
will not believe that he has been the
man for whom an election to the
Washington legislature would be con
sidered just retribution.

The NAVAL COMMISSIONERS s.-The
gentlemen comprising the navy yard
commission passed through Corvallis
Wednesday, having come up the valley
on the east side, reaching this city by
the O. P. line, and returning to Port
land on the west side. AS is gener-
ally known these gent9emen were ap-
pointed to investigate and report upon
a location for navy yard upon this
coast and upon all matters which may
pertain thereto. The commissioners
are travelling for the purpose of OBJ
tanning a general knowledge of the
country. A committee from the Cor
wallis Board of Trade waited upon the
commission at the O. P depot and fur
nished good store of information con-
cerning this locality. The gentlemen
seemed pleased with the reception
given them here and a member of the
commission expressed himself as being
especially pleased to have seen in the
west, a town with large resources
which is not ''boom" town.

Too MUCH FOR PoRTLAND.--An

Too Much FOR P PoRTLAND.--An edi-
torlal paragraph in the Oregonian of
Tuesday gave the signal for a renewal
of the controversy between Portland,
aud the country, in saying "The Cham
Der of Commerce gave an effective i'm
petus to the movement for the proper
representation. of Portland at the
Worlds fair, last night, recommending
the appropriation of $250,O00; by the
legislature, and the creation Of state
commission to direct and control it's
expenditures for the purpose of prepar-
ing ar exhibit" The word "Oregon"
was probably intended for the word
"Portland," but some of our granger
friends whose intellect ual vision may
be somewhat obscured by prejudice,
will think that a large sum for the leg
islature to appropriate for the "proper
representation of Portland set the
Wold's fair.

an, proprietor of the Occidental prop
erty in Corvallis, has again assumed
the management of the house. Some
months ago Mr.. Canaan leased the prop
erty to Wilkins brothers for a term of

business elsewhere Since that time
Mr. and Mrs. Canaan have visited all
the pretentious towns of Oregon and
Washington and came to the conclu-

ducements: Accordingly Mr.. Canaan
returned to this city and made such
arrangements with the lessees of the
hotel as enabled him to take posses
sion again Under the management
of Mr. and Mrs. Canan the Occidental
hotel earned high reputation with the
better class of the travelling public and

He WANTED A LoAN.-Monday
night, the bank having closed, an in
dividual entered the residence of Zeph-
in Job at an unseemly hour for the
purpose of borrowing few dollars for
an indefinite time without interest
Zeph had retired. but the man was
anxious to negotiate the loan and de-
cided to simply help himself to what
ever sum might be lying around loose
about the house, knowing that it
would be all right with the banker.
Having about completed an unsuccess-
full search for treasure, however, he
heard footsteps descending the stairs,
and fearing the wrath of Mr.. Job at
being disturbed, he hastily took his de-
.parture through a rear window which
he had taken the precaution to leave
open.

men which they rendered Messrs. Hart

Remarkable Memories.

idiots have been known whose mem
orv for names and words was SO re-
tentive that they could repeat sermon
verbatim, and indicate where the
preacher blew his nose and coughed
while delivering it. Cardinal Mezzo-
fanti. the linguist, who is said to have
known a hundred languages, declared
that he never forgot word that he had
once learned. To friend, who had
CONGRATULATED Leyden on his remarka,,
bic memory, he replied that ne had
venience. On the friend expressing
surprise. he explained that. he had
often wished to recall a particular ex-
nression in something he had read, but
cconld not do so until he had repeated the
whole passage from the beginning to the
exnression he desired to recall. An
English clergyman mentions a man who
could remember the day of the burial
Of every person who had died in the
narish during thirty-tive years, and
could also repeat the name and age OF
each deceased person, and the name OF
the mourners at his funeral; but SO
weak was he intellectually that he could
NOT m1a1 be trusted to feed himself. Or.

To Import Kangaroos.
From the Helena Independent.

From the Helena Independent.
We are assured on what seems good
authority, that the project of importing
kangaroos into this country is seriously
entertained by several enthusiastic and
wealthy sportsmen of the West. The
animals have been successfully accli-
mated in England and France, and we
are assured that there is no reason why
they should not thrive here. The prac-
teal extinction Of the buffalo has left
the plains without any big game of i'm
portance, and experienced sportsmen
declare that hunting the kangaroo, as
practiced in Australia, is second in ex-
element and interest only to killing the
buffalo. The scheme is not without
commercial importance. Kangaroo
leather is very valuable product and
the animals breed rapidly. The pro-
motors hope to be privileged to intro
duce the new game at the beginning of
the warm season in the Yellowstone
Park, and to insure them for few years
Government protection and immunity
from senseless sportsmen.

to weak womankind is the finding
Of lost health-the building-up Of
"a run down" system. Nothing
does it so surely as DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. It cures all
the arrangements, irregularities and

the most perfect of strength-givers,
imparting tone and vigor to the

satisfaction in every case, or money
