WHEN.--When the time comes Corvallis
will have a canrery. When the citizens
become stirred up to renewed impulses, and
they see about them the constant demand
for more enterprise, then there will be IA
general move for cannery. When present
prospective institutions are in full operations
and their success is fully recognized. then the
people will come to the conclusion that the
greater the factories in a town the greater
the town is, SO they will go to work and
build cannery. When it becomes univer-
sally known that the Willamette valley is
the greatest fruit producing soil in the land,
and that Corvallis is Ill the heart of the Will
lamette valley, cannery will at once go up.
In fact, when the people find out that they
want cannery, why, they will have it built.

THE EXPOSITION.

People returning from Portland, after
visiting the Exposition there pronounce it
the greatest ever held on the coast. The
exhibits are far ahead of any previous year,
not only in number and arrangement, but
also in variety and general appearance.
The attractions, especially the music and
art, are away above expectations. The
Zapadores band, from the City of Mexico,
is discoursing wonderful music, and has
made decided hit. The range of music
performed seems to be without limit, and
the fear that the band would contine itself
to Mexican and Spanish music has long
since disappeared. The art gallery is a
revelation; the paintings being the greatest
that have ever been placed i'll an exposi
ton. The mineral. horticural, and agri,
cultural exhibits are a genuine surprise.
1t was supposed that the superintendent,
not being connected with mining or agri-
cultural industries would neglect this inn
portant branch of the Exposition; but the
result shows that it has received more than
the usual attention, and it is gratifying
success. The horticultural department is
larger than it ever has beer, and the quail
ity of fruit is source of great admiration.
Other features have been added which
bring the. exposition far beyond expecta-
tions. With the rates: :on all transporta-
tion lines this year, there Is no reason why
people should not go and partake of the
benefits the Exposition offers.

The COrinth Canal,

That great engineering work, the Cor
NTH canal, which will sever the Pelopon-
nesus from the mainland Of Greece, and
will permit the largest ships to pass
directly from the Gulf of Athens to the
Gulf of Corinth, is said to be rapidly APP
preaching completion. The canal will
have no locks, but is level. from end to
end and perfectly straight, the width
being ninety-six feet and the depth thirty
six. At the Corinth end it is crossed by
railroad bridge 1854 feet high, under
which the tallest ships may pass without
lowering their topmasts
With the exception Of short space in
the center, the channel, it is stated, has
been excavated down to the sea level,
and water has been admitted for some
distance at the Corinth end, as also at
the other approach. 1t is assumed that
about 300 vessels from Trieste and Fiume,
and about the same number from Italian
ports, will pass through the canal an.
nually, while it is calculated that be-
tween 700 and 800 Greek ships will use
the canal-a total, say, of more than
1900 vessels annually, averaging 1900
tons each. York Sun.

A Terror to Road Agents.

Stephen Venard, famous as hunter
of highwaymen, has died at the County
hospital after lingering illness, at the
age of sixty-seven years. He came to
Nevada City from Ohio in the early
ffties and engaged in merchandising.
Subsequently he mined and did police
duty here, and was for time engaged
in cattle raising in Nevada.
On the morning of May 10, 1865, the
stage from North San Juan in this city
was stopped few miles from here by
George Shanks, alias Jack Williams;
Bob Finn, alias Cation, and George W..
Moore, who captured $1,000. Venard,
who participated in the chase a few
hours later, came up with the highway
men in one of the widest and most in
accessible portions of South Y1ba canon,
where they divided the spoils. An en-
counter ensued, in which Venard, with
a rife, killed all three, and escaped I'M
hurt.

PHILADELPHIA, June 19.-The jury
in the suit of Meyer & Dickinson
against the government to recover
excess of duties levied on material used
as hat trimmings, this morning rem
dered a verdict Of $43240 for the
plaintiffs. The government appealed
the verdict to the supreme court.

case the government is made liable for
from $50, 100000 to $50, OoO,Oe which it
has collected in duties from. importers
of millinery materials in various parts
of the country.
The suit of Meyer & Dickinson was
test suit, and was intended to test the
right of the government to collect
duties on the goods in dispute. Other
pending suits will be affected by the
verdict, and that is where the large
amount of money expended and the
great interest taken by importers
comes in.
Taking the suits altogether, the i'm

The Republican leaders ara badly
frightened at the prospects of having

to the Republican ticket in Ohio this
year. 1t is said that the Knights of
Labor, through its executive board,
which is making a fight for the re-
moval of Capt. Meredith, chief of the
bureau of engraving and printing, has
given Mr. Harrison it's ultimatum, and
it is that Meredith must be removed,
or every Knight OF Labor in the state
of Ohio will vote against the Republic

ton. Secretary Foster who is an
adept in the art of bamboozling, is re-
lied upon by Mr.. Harrison to help him
out of the scrape in some way, but he
will find it very difficult.
