PROFIT IN GARDENS.

The profits of fruit raising has been
subject of much discussion by the
newspapers as we'll as by the people
of the Willamette Valley during the
past two or three years, and 4 lively
interest, particularly in sale' growing o
prunes. is being taken in every part of
the valley during the present season.
|. From a careful estimate it can safely
be said that nearly 800 acres of prunes
and other fruit have been planted in
thus county alone during this fall and
winter, and there is no question that
every tract of land thus planted, il
properly handled, will, in few years,
be very profitable source of revenue
to it's owner,
But fruit, cereals, and hops are not
the only sources of revenue holn, the
soil in Benton county. The land is
rich and a good living can be made
on very small tract by planting it in
vegetables. For example, Peter Schir-
mer, a German who owns two and a
half acres of land one mile south of
Mill 4, on Yaquina bay, was in Cor
wallis last week and the following is an
itemized statement of the result of the
past seasons labor on his little garden.
The prices given are what the produce
would bring in the Corvallis market.
At these figures his total earnin gs from
two and half acres would be some
thing over 5000. The list:

LECTURES TO THE MILITARY.
Those Delivered In Washington to lie
Read Here-other Points.

General Albert Ordway, commander OF
the brigade of National Guard in the Dis
trict of Columbia, some months ago con-
ceived the idea of having q series of lee
lures delivered before the officers OF his
brigade. These lectures were mainly by
officers Of the United States army and his
own staff, and embrace tersely and in mill
tary manner nearly all of the points which
pertain to national guardsmen In active
service.
This information, it is believed. has
never been given in such q concise and
practical form before and supplies long,
felt want to the officers.
VALUE OF THE LECTURES.
The first seven lectures, between Janu-
airy 9Th and April 9th, by officers of the
United States army, were followed on April
goth by General Ordway In compre-
hensive review of tho lessons already given
in them. In addition to the eight lectures
above referred to four special subjects.
such as the preservation of health (care of
the wounded), street-riding duty, rife
practice, and military law, were given by
staff officers Of General Ordway's CON-
mand.
The Virginia volunteers particularly
have long felt the want of such informa-
ton, and it is the intention OF the COM
handing officer General Anderson) to
read or otherwise communicate this essen
tial knowledge and the substance of these
lectures to the officers in view of the anti
cipated visit in camp to the North Carolina
Guard at Wrightsville.

SUIT FOR DAMAGES.
Two Important Cases Argued In the CITY
Circuit Court Yesterday.

Two Important Cases Argued In the civ
Circuit Court YESTERDAY.
In the City Circuit Court yesterday the
argument on the demurrer in the case OF
G. NJ. Langhorne against the City Railway
Company was continued TIL Monday. The
case Is a suit for damages brought by the
mother of the plaintiff, the latter being
under age, for damages TO the amount OF
S25, 900 tor injuries claimed to have been
received in July, 1890. near the corner OF
Fifth and Broad streets.
The case has been heard several times,
but when it was last brought up verdict
was rendered for the company. The style
of the case has been changed several times
and this last action is O new one, as it was
claimed the company was sued in O name
other than its real title. Messrs. w. p.
De Saussure and James Lyons are counsel
for the plaintiff and Messrs. w. r. Mere
dith and jackson d Jackson for the de-
PENDANTS. The plaintiff, it is claimed, re-
ceived injuries that have made him Grip
pie for life. He was not IN court yester-
day.
In the case of Charles Miller against the
Richmond and Danyille Railroad Company
q motion was made by the defendant to
set aside the Judgment and verdict. The
motion was partly argued and continued
till Monday.
The case Of w. G. Graham against the
Richmond and Danville railroad was con-
tinued until the next term on account Of
the absence of witnesses.
Two suits were instituted in the Circuit
Court yesterday, to one of which attaches
much importance. 1t ia entered by John
Wheelwright against b. @. Baylor, an ac-
ton on the case for libel-damages,
$4,000. The other suit is by b. I. Turner
against A. s. Gordon. 1t is an action for
debt for $3.50. S.
