TIE alleged editor of the Professional
Farmer says that he did not know that
Durham was in the geography. The
editor of the Professional Farmer also
seems not to know that people generally
have voted him an ass. But the fact that
Durham is in the geography and the
Professional Farmer editor is what peo-
pie have voted him, remains undisputed.
IT is said that a few years Ago the gov
ernor of Wisconsin said in his annual
message to the legislature: IF you will
appropriate $250,O00 for promoting i'm
migration, l will bring 250, 000immigrants
into the state" The legislature took him
at his word, and he delivered the goods"
as per contract. But he had to put out
the money where the immigrants were.
He didn't fire it in the air and expect to
bring down an immigrant with every
dollar.

SIDEwALKs.-A number Of new
crosswalks are being laid in the city,
and some dangerous and unsightly
chasms in the streets have been filled.
In fact the city has done mere in the
past few months towardeimproving it's
sidewalks and crosswalks than inAthe
whole season of 1889. Now that, the
city has set the example and is~doing
its part in this matter private citizens
should keep up with the march of i'm
provement and see that their sidewalks
are in good condition before the winter
rains set in. Don't wait to be notified
by the marshal. The old excuse that
the city does not keep its crosswalks
in repair won't go any longer. Let us
have good sidewalks. They are one Of
she things first to attract Il strangers
attention.

Prolific OATS.--An old Benton
county farmer who is now helping sub
due the wild lands of the Big Bend in
the new state of Washington, sends
this Office pir-Cusbion fall of what
he claims to be the most prolific oats
i'll the world. Two yeays ago be pro-
cured sablespooful of the gram from
Philadelphia with cost him 81, and
from this he obtained half Duslrel the
following harvest, With this half
bushel Ire seeded half an acre the fol
lowing spring, and from this half acre
he harvested forty -six bushels. Mr..
Newhouse is anxious to have the oats
tried in Benton county, and to- that
end has sent the samples IN question,
which lse directs shall be divided
amongst as many farmers, as wish to
experiment with them In appearance
the grain is not unlike AIRY plprnp,
healthy oats we have met. with and il
is evidently in their ability to multiply
themselves enormously that Mr.. New
house considers them sic boss oats OF
the period. Farmers wishing to- test
the new grain,. which we christen- " Re-
publican oats," may obtain a sample
sowing at tins office.

For BETTER MAIL FACILITIES
The people of Newport are suffering
great inconvenience from the inelficien-
cy of the mail service between that
city and Yaquina City over which route
almost all their mail is carried. A
nonresident secured the contract for
carrying the mails between the place.
named at a figure much below what 1t Is
actually worth. The result is that the
work was poorly performed from the
beginning, and recently the contractor
failed to provide any means for the
transit OF mails, since which time post
master A. II. Hampton has performed
the service as best he could. 1t now
appears that the master of the steamer
]. M. Richardson offers to carry the
mail on schedule time for 5000 par
year. The Newport postoffice is of
considerable Importance and its pa
irons certainly are entitled to good
mail facilities. A committee from the
Newport board Of trade have drawn
up d statement setting forth the con-
ditions. and it recommends that the re-
port be sent to Hon. Bin3er Hermann
with the request that he submit the
same to the Hon. Postmaster General.
1t is safe to say tnat Mr.. Hermann will
give the matter the attention it re-
quires.

AND KINGS VALLEY
RAILROAD.

The Salem board: of trade is in re-
ceipt of the following, communication
from w. T. Webber, of Newport, sec
retary of the Newport & Kings Valley
Railroad Co., regarding the extension
of the terminus of the line of that
road from Airlie to Salem. The COM
munication is as follows:
cat meeting of the board of drec-
tors of the Newport & Kings Valley
Railroad Co., a resolution was adopt
ed that will extend our corporation
from our present terminus at Alrlie to
Salem and beyond, via Independence
and Kings valley.
"By way of explanation I will ssy
that originally the corporation was
formed with view of inducing the
narrow gauge to extend their lines
from Airlie to this point, but as the
present management has decided to
put In the standard gauge the N. Il X.
V. Go: has decided to make the same
change as to guage and also stretch out
at each end and cover some good teri
tory and make an effort to construct at
least from Salem to the Alsea bay, via
the Yaquina bay. Our bill granting
us the right of way through the Indian
reservation having passed the senate
and house and received the signature
of the president puts us in good con-
dition to at least do what we can to-
wards beginning the construction.
81, as an engineer, have been
through the mountains from this point
to Kings valley on the route that will
have to be followed, and have made a
preliminary survey of the worst part
of it; and we find by the examination
that the line and gradings are better
than we at first anticipated. y
We have made representation of these
facts and also description of the line
and grades to parties with a view of
enlistipg their interests in the matter of
construction and give our franchise to
them. 1 was told at an interview that
if the line was no worse than l repre-
sented that they could furnish money
to do the building and that if I would
bring to them profile and alignment
map from thorough instrumental sur
vey could get positive answer at
once. This survey am anxious to
make, us from observations and sur.
veys I have made I feel confident of
SUCCESS.
ave can get one-tl1ird of the
arnount required to make the survey
here, and if you think W. cal, do any
thing in Salem and Independence DR..
Bayley and myself will be- pleased to
meet the people and tails it up."--

A company from Kansas recen5Fy pur-
miles west of here and moved 6ut there
Wednesday, making big calculations on re-

thy. even though they had obtained the pro-
perty at bHrgain.' With zeal and perse-

argued the case so we'll that the men of the
party concluded to give up their property

selves about what we shall do ons Thanks

In ths morning we shall go to church and

in a blessing in the form of turkey, a
chicken, or something of the kind, aud in

LANE COUNTY Pioneers GOING.-Wesley
Shannon. one of the early pioneers of Ore
gon, and the brother of Milton Shannon, of
Monroe, died at Eugene last week. James
Huddeston, pioneer of 1850, also died
last week at tke Haddleston homestead
where he had resided since 1854. Elijah
Mays, a much respected citizen of Lane
county, and one of the pioneers of Oregon,
died at his home near FUNSTON City, last
Sunday. In 1852 he crossed the plains
with his family, and i'll 1853 settled in Lame
county, where he has since continuously re-
sided. Thus We see these old land marks i'll
the history of Oregon rapidly dropping out
gotten, for the part they have performed is
the foundation of that portion of tke play
which is to come hereafter. Our social i'll.
stitutions are built upon the enduring work
of these noble people who now passing
away at the end of long and well-spert lives.

THE FARMERS INSTITUTES.

Profs. WashbuYn, French and Lake,
of the \ Agricultural College, returned this
week from The Dalles, where they
were present at Farmers Institute
which was well attended by both the
farmers of Wasco and the people OF
the city. From all parts of the state
in which these institutes have been
held come hattering reports of the
proceedings and it is apparent that this
year more interest Is manifested In
them than has been previously taken.
The professors themselves are earnest
and active, and the zeal with which
they prosecute the work indicates a
strong desire on their part to place
Oregon farming upon a scientific basis
as nearly as possible. Their work
seems to be actuated by desire to for
ward the interests of the asrlculturlsts
rather than by the requirements OF the
law. 1t may be seen by a Perustl OF
the programmes for these Institutes that
the cooperation Of the most successful
and intelligent farmers, fsuit-growers
and stock-raisers of the state have been
enlisted in these gatherings. At the
meeting at The Dalles, aside from the
part in the proceedings taken by the
professors, who discussed the principles
of stock breeding, insect pests, ETC., an
excellent address was delivered by
Hon. j. d. Lee, who has given the
subject of agriculture a great deal of
intelligent study; paper, concerning
climate, was read by B. S. Pague of the
signal service of Portland. 1t is
known that Mr.. Pague has made a
scientific study of the climatic changes
of Oregon, and that he is thoroughly
conversant with every phase of the
matter; "Orcgon Orchards" was dis
cussed by J. c. Varney, state conmls-
sioner of horticulture; "Fruit and Fruit
Culture" by Ernest Shanno, etc.
Other matters were inteiigently treated
by persons Of unquestioned ability, but
the foregoing is sufficient for the pur-
pose. The programme of each insti-
tute is similar in character to the one
held at The Dalles. A general discus
sion usually follows the reading of each
plper and the whole is interspersed
with good vocal and instrumental
music. These discussions, 1t will be
n,ted, are made by persons chosen on
account of their knowledge of the mat
ter in hand, and they must be instruc-
tive. The institutes ale productive of
much good now and as they become
better organized--that is, when the
work becomes more systematic and the
benefits of each meeting extend outside
the locality in which it is held, we shall
see vast improvement in the methods
now pursued by our farmers in gen
eral. The conditions are not now fa-
vorable for the largest number to be
benefited by the Institutes, but the Ag-
ricultural College, under whose auspi-
ces they are held, is making rapid
strides to this end.

FIRE WEDNEsDAY.-About 9 o'clock
last Wednesday morning the fire bell
rung out the alarm of fire, it being the
first time since the fire at Geo. Way-
gonerfs house last summer. The fire
department turned out promptly, but
the fire which was caused by burning
fue in E. w. Fishers residence, WAS
extir4uished with few buckets of
water without aid of the entire depart
ment and with little damage. Plight
here it might be we'll to make ii few
suggestion in regard to The fire protec-
ton IN tlsat vicinity. Corvallis has one
of the ffnest public school buildings in
the state, buiIt at 4 cost of $23 900,
and all of our citizens take pride in
pointing it out to strangers as one of
our monuments of public spirit and ell
terprise. What could be done in case
of fire in this building! The nearest
water supply to be had is tlse cistern
at the court house, which is two blocks
away. The nearest hydrants are at
Bryson's corner three blocks distant on
the north, and that at Prof Grimm s
corner, five blocks to the southeast.
On account of the distance stream
of water from either Of these hydrants
would not reach the second floor of the
buildfrg, hence they are practically
useless for the purpose. 70 set the
engine at the cistern at tire court
house, it would take nearly all of
tue hose the department has On hand
to get IL single stream of water on the
building, which, in case of such d fire,
would he of little practical use. When
the amount of valuable property, be-
sides the school house, in this vicinity,
which is liz danger of destruction by
fire, is considered, it would seem that
some steps toward better fire protec-
tion should be taken without delay.
A cistern aad at least one hydrant
should be at or near the school house
block.
