OREGON'S FRUIT DISPLAY.

DR.. ]. R. Cardwell, president of the State
Chicago, where he went to see the great
fair, and especially to visit the horticultural
display and see for himself how Oregon's
products compared with those from other
states. He is we'll pleased with tho show
ing made, and says Oregon is ahead, and
will certainly receive the prize for tho best
prunss and plums. Some very fine fruit
has been sent of late, aud he Is very de.
siroua that fruit growers throughout the
state shall send in the best specimens they
can find to be forwarded. There was .
great deal of good.natured rivalry among
exhibitors as to who should exhibit the
largest apple. First one would get ahead.
Idaho, Kansas and Arkansas led, the latter
standing at the head with 26.ounce apple,
measuring ISL inches in circumference. OF
course DR.. Cardwell was certsin that Ore.
gon could beat that, and he has already for
warded a number of Isl inch apples and
one measuring sixteen inches around. DR..
Lewis, in charge of the Oregon exhibit, was
80 certain that he would get bigger apple
than the biggest shown that he had big
rooster prepared. carrying streamer in his
bill, on which is inscribed, "Come down
Arkansas" DR.. Cardwell says he has seen
Oregon apples weighing 38 ounces, and he
is in hope to be able to find one measuring
20 inches around. Everv orchardist In the
state should be on the lookopt for the
biggest apple and send forward the best he
can find.

A PIONEER GONE.

In Corvallis on the 26th of September
Mrs. Drusilla Witham passed from life tt
the realms of that mysterious home beyond
the grave, aged 68 years, month and Il
days, thus clio ling q useful christian life.
| She was born in Crawford county, Ohio,
| August IS. 1925, and Sept. Is, 1912, was
Joined in wedlock's sacred bonds to Mr..
A. M. Witham at the age of II. to which
union thirteen children were born, eight OF
whom survive and all but one of whom were
present at the funeral obseauies on Monday,
the services having been performed by Rev.
w. G. Kantner, owing to the illness of her
pastor, Rev. Gould of the M. E. church,
and were attended by a large concourse of
sorrowing friends and neighbors who will
treasure her in their memory as a loving
wife, devoted mother, and an endearing
christian friend.
With her husband che crossed the plains
in ls47, undergoing all of the hardships in
cident to the journey of those days, the
story of which has ofttimes been re.told,
but which is yet full of interest and vividly
reminds us of the dangers to which our
forefathers were heir in their enterprising
and commendable struggle to better the
condition of themselves and their posterity.
Mr.. and Mrs. Witham cast their lot in our
beautiful Willamette valley in l84S after a
short residence of about "a year In the
southern portion of the state, and have
since made Benton county their home. The
deceased became member of the United
Brethren church at Philomath in 1866 where
her membership was continued until 1888
when the family removed to Corvallis and
she united with the M. E. church. Hers
was well spent life; and according to the
faith which joyously stimulated her in the
last long and suffering illness she is now at
rest with Gods chosen people among the
blessed. May the example of her life be
emulated.
THE GAZETTE extends its most sincere
sympathy to the bereaved husband and
family in their irreparable loss, and appsnds
these lines as appropriate to the occasion:
Dearest mother. thou hast left us,
Here thy loss we deeply feel;
But 'tis God that hath bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in the grave SO low;
Thou no more will join our number,
Thou no more onr voice shalt know.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life is fled;
Then in Heaven with 'joy;to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed.

TO RAISE HOPS.

The hop business promises to bloom in
this vicinity in about two yaars hence.
George Avery expects to put out a ten-acre
patch south Of Mary's river next spring. D.
A. Osburn has purchased the Millard Beach
place just across the Willamette Of 120
acres, and threatens to put it all in hops.
William Hairless is organizing syndicate
for the purchase ..of another 1OO-acre tract
over in Linn for the special purpose ofsetting
it out in hops. J. D. Howell and w. A.
Cumming have leased fifty acres Of John
Whitaker for ten years. with the privilege
of fifteen years, every foot Of which will be
set in hops. Beats all how business keeps up.

HuFFS CLOSE CALL.

The recent rise of water in the William.
cite caused about 1000 of Max Friendly's
logs to break loose from the boom in the
river ct this place and distribute themselves
promiscuously between Corvallis and few
miles below Albany, and workmen have
since been quite busily engaged in trying to
corrall and save this floating timber, much
Of which was lodged in Dead river and Half.
Moon bay. 1t has been matter of consid.
erable expense to Mr.. Friendly in recover
ing his escaped property and of more or less
danger to those engaged in the work. Mon.
day forenoon, while in company with several
others who were drawing the timber from
the water in Half.Moon bay Mr.. J. M. Huff
and his team of horses had very narrow
escape from drowning. He had hitched his
horses to q log and was moving towards
shore. Being unacquainted with the lay OF
the land he pursued direct course which
led him across what proved to be hole OF
the depth of about fifteen feet, into which
tho horses and their rider plunged. Mr.
H., instead of allowing the horses to man
age themselves attempted to guide them to
the bank and in consequence the horses,
harness and rider were submerged, in con-
siderably entangled mass, and to the look
ers on it seemed for time that all would be
lost. However, the harness was loosened
and with the assistance of the men present
Mr.. Huff and his team were rescued, but
not without more or lesasinjury to the un-
fortunate swimmer who was kicked in the
face by one of the animals in his desperate
plunges for safety, leaving quite severe
wound. Mr.. Huff was brought to town
Monday evening and his wounds dressed
A thought of this experience reminds one
that it was really "Huff's close call" and
suggests as guide to future occasions like
this the little ballad sung when we were g
