ON THE DIAMOND.

The game of; base ball which was to have
been played some time ago between the
clerks and the employees IN the O. P. Office.
aud which was postponed on account OF bad
weather, was played last Friday and re-
suited in victory for the-O. P. boys by a
score of II to l3. The game was well
played, considering that neither club had
not practiced any previously. 1t is rumored
that the clerks want satisfaction and will
play another game in the near future.
The boat hands and picked nine played
match game at the ball grounds Sunday,
and the deck hands were beaten by score
of % to l6. No expert playing was exhibit,
ed on either side.
The game at Salem Saturday and Sun.
day between the Salem and Albany teams,
proved to be very uneven game. The Al
bany team can play faverably with clnbs In
small towns and boast of their superiority,
but when it comes to playing with the ''pro-
flesh" they are not in it. Saturday the score
stood Is to o in favor OF the Salem boys
The Albany boys were not discouraged at
this, however, and resolved to play them
again Sunday, which they did, and were
again defeated by a score of 43 to 6. Better
take in your sign, Albany.

BITE LIKE FIsH.-All stranger has to
d, is to stand in the street and deliver a
fowry harangue to sell all the cheap John
articles he can pack in a valise The rapid
ity with which they fly is astonishing.
Sometimes, though, the purchaser gets con-
siderable substance, the fact is though,
never without paying an enormous ercent-
age on the value of the article, for they are
universally of a cheap order, made to sell on
'snaps." Saturday night two of these oily
tongued street fakirs placed dry goods box
In the street opposite the Occidental hotel,
piled an old dilapidated trunk, filed with
cheap, refuse, and in few minutes had
the usual crowd of suckers gathered about
with open mouths ready to swallow the bait.
They sold four papers of pins for ten cents,
which went as fast as could be handed out
for some time. This was simply bait,
thrown out to catch larger fish, and when
they went down into the bottom of their
carpet-bag aud drew out sheep-skin purse,
placed therein pair of gold cuff buttons, a
diamond pin, a gold ring, and wound about
the circus had just opened and the sucker
of suckers was fairly in it. This is the
kind of worthless trash that used to be
used in swindling thu Indians with, but
since they have became civilized the fakir
finds it necessary to dupe the lower classes
of the white population. The city council
should protect those who do not know
enough to protect themselves, by imposing
such license upon this class of peddlers as
will make it impossible for them to sell
their wares in our city. The license is now
$40 per day, make it S25.

A VALUABLE HORSE LosT.-Last Tues
day while H. F. Fischer of the Corvallis
FIGURING Mills was blowing in his garden
on the river bank, his horse became fright

edge of the plow struck the horse in the
hind leg, nearly severing it, rendering the
animal worthless, and to put it out of misery

WILD BLAcKBERRIEs PLENTIFUL.-This
is one of the grandest wild fruit seasons
blackberry is larger and more abundant
than ever before. In the woods near this
city one can fill gallon bucket in very

just across the river in Benton county
where these berries are ripening very fast.
1t will probably be about two weeks before
they will ripen back in the mountains. -

in view of making it the finest engine on the
coast. After serving for several years i'll
Virginia City it was sold to San Francisco,
being one of the first engines used in that
city, where it served for many years, but
was finally crowded out of use by modern
improvements. 1t was then purchased by
the citizens of Corvallis, and did good work,
but as it required the combined efforts of
every man in town to operate it. it was
never very popular, and was stored away
in an old shed near the river for many years.
Upon hearing that the engene had been dis
carded the fremen of San Francisco offered

ments were made of gold and valued at $500

his remarks a Political Shot or Two" Ho
said: The Democratic party opens the CAM

suit. New York - a Democratic State. Let
me call your attention to the fact that in
State issues tie party has lost the State but

set the fig Of tariff reform upon our shoul-
ders. ard there we shall carry il on to VIC

issue they can abandon it. We shall carry
IL 20 the end The speaker denounced the
Mckinley bill and said the Democratic party
believes the place for the surplus TO be in the
pockets of the people. not in the Govern
ment Treasury. Applause.
The Governor condemned the Republican
Senate for not passing the bill TO redistriet
the State after the last census. He pronounced
the Republican platform on high license
"delusion anda a snare.n While the platform
declared in favor of local option,
both houses Of the Legislature failed
