NOTES.
Keep a scrap book and paste therein
all noteworthy articles bearing on rails
ing of fruits or crops of the field and gar
den. Why not purchase binder and
preserve the paper entire.
The best scrap book made, for general
purposes, is imported by Marcus, Ward

Especial mention should be made in
this connection of the invaluable work
being done in entomology by Prof. c. V.
Riley and his corps of able assistants at
the U. S. Department of Agriculture.
The various publications of the Division
of Entomology can be had by addressing
either Hon. j. M. Rusk, Secretary of Ag-
riculture, or your Congressman.
Finally, wish to add an emphatic
word of praise for the nurserymen of
Florida, who embody in their catalogues
so much information on special topics
that is simply invaluable, and. as far as
my experience goes, unObtainable any

To BE IAlPRovED.-A representa-
tve of the GAZETTE has been in
formed, by G. Hemphill, the lessee
and manager of Corvallis opera
house, that several much needed
improvements are going to be
made to that structure in few
months hence. A new floor will
be laid by the 18th of next month
in time for the hook and ladder
boys ball. A gallery in the form
of a half-circle will be the next
change and this will have raised
seats with the two first rows as re-
serves. The ceiling will be re-
painted, the walls clothed and COW
cred with decorated paper and the
stage given a general ove1hauling.
Architect Stewart is now drawing
the plans for the new gallery.
Cam" says that the lighting Ca
pacity of the building will be in
creased to thirty-fve incandes-
cents-with a large reflector and
ten lights suspended in the center
of the room. In the matter OF
heating the house it has not yet
been decided what will be done.
The words "city hall' should be
dropped in the river, and let opera
house be the name hereafter. 1t
is time that something is done to
this place for amusements, and
with the change will come dra-
matte companies who have a first
class reputation as actors and
not the snide shows that have been
affecting the people here for the
past ten years. Of course, this
house will be no Marquam Grand
or Alcazar, but it will be gooG
enough for anyone in these part:
providing, of course, the i'm
provements are made.

A sad accident occurred in Mr..
Grayson's family, cne day this week,
says the Newburg Grsphlc. The four
months old babe was put in chair
| and left near the stove while the
mother WAS about her house work. A
kettle filled with boiling meat was on
the stove and as it was not the proper
size for the hole in the stove, it by some
means tipped over spillins the boiling
water on the child. Its legs from the
knees down we're burned so that the
skin came off and one foot was burned
in the same manner. The little suf-
ferer is getting along as well as could
be expected and it is thought the burn
will not lame it.

Hadlock came to Corvallis about
two weeks ago, and being related
to certain grass widower of Cor
wallis, he was given board at the
hotel of Mrs. Lou Powers during
the time. He complained of not
being in the best of health and
laid around the house most of the
time, occasionally doing an errand
for Mrs. 2. Things went along all
right until Tuesday morning last
when the young man had suddenly
disappeared. About the same
time Mrs. Powers discovered that
$25 in cash, $50 in bank checks
and three rings, that she had in
her bedroom were also missing,
besides 50 which she had loaned
the aforesaid Y. m. 1t seems that
the key to this fellows room lifted
the lock on the door of Mrs. P.'s
private apartments, and knowing
that her treasures were stored in
there he concluded to make way
with them. He left his valise and
some other THINGS in his room.
The officers were Immediately
notified and are now on his track,
he having been heard of in Port
land On Tuesday night. The pen
at Salem very likely will have
him as boarder before many

SALOON RoEBED.-Upon opening
his saloon on Thursday morning
Chas. Albrecht discovered that it
had been invaded by burglars
some time during the previous
night. They had knocked out a
a pane of glass in the rear door
and after unlocking it entered
without any further difficulty. By
means of a screwdriver the desk
was forced open and cash to the
amount Of $42 and a bank book
were removed. also some cigars
and a bottle or two of whisky.
In the desk were several articles of
value. such as a silver watch,
gold nugget, gold ring, watch
charm, ETC.. and it was seen that
these had all been handled. as spots
of blood were upon them. 1t
seems that the thief, in breaking
the window, had cut his hand on
the glass, as blood was discovered
in several places in the room, and
the screwdriver was all besmeared.
Where and what the police was
doing about the time of the robbery
nobody knows-this is an old story,
though.
