TO MEET IN PORTLAND.

The American Pathological Society has
accepted the invitation of the State Board
of Horticulture to visit Portland upon the
conclusion of its annual meeting in Sacra.
mento. The society, which will probably
be represented by every fruit. growing state
in the union, will meet at Sacramento on
the 18th, 10th, aud 18th of this month, and
expect to arrive in Portland on the evening
of the 23d inst. in accordance with these
expectations arrangements have been made
for the State Board of Horticulture to meet
at Portland on the 22d inst. and get through
their business on the same day. On the
following day, the Northwest Fruit Growers
Association, comprising the three western
states and British Columbia, will meet and
get their; business out of the way. Should
everything take place as arranged and
expected, the members of the Stase Board
of Horticulture and of the Northwest
Fru1tgrowers' Association will meet the
train on its arrival from Sacramento On the
23d and tender the visitors welcome.
After this it is probable that the committee
on reception will entertain them to ban
ouet, when the evening may be spent in
giving addresses and pleasant chats The
session will probably occupy whole week,
including the two days work of the State
Horticultural Society and the Northwest
Fruit Growers Association. The program
will be made up principally of speeches
from representative fruit growers from diff
,ferent parts of the state, showing the soll'
GU alities of fruit they grow, area planted
etc. 1t is the intention of the Northwest
representatives to impress upon their visit
ors that this coast means to be in the race
with them in the future.
This meeting is largely the result Of Prof.
Lakes persistent efforts, and Will no doubt
prove of incalculable benefit to Oregon and
her large fruit interests

THIS. THAT AND THE OTHER
A Few Simple Things You
Mayn't Have Been Told.

In reading over the published testimony
of the Sleeves trial, one wonders why Allen
was not indicted as well as the lawyer.
The evidence was crcumstantial, and was
very vague to convince an honest, practical
mind "beyond reasonable doubt" Accu
sation is half proof. The prosecution failed
to show a reasonable motive on the part oi
Sleeves. For several ballots, the jurymen
voted mot guilty. 1t seems strange that
these men, who, believing man innocent,
should finally compromise" by finding him
guilty of manslaughter.
The mill race bridge, mile south of this
CITY, has been surrounded with water the
past week, and constant menace to the
safety of travellers. This bridge has been a
perpetual expense to the county for repairs
and renewal The owners received from the
county free, the franchise for the ditch, and
the county court should compel them to
widen OF deepen the race near the bridge,
or cut another channel for the overflow.
The county should not pay the damage
caused by private parties.
People in the neighborhood of the Oregon
Pacific depot are petitioning the council for a
srreetalight. They should get it, and doubt
less will. Those who have had busines at
the depot or carriage factory on dark nights,
and have trembled at every sound and
deeper shadow, dreading sandbag or q
holdup will realize the importance of light
to those who live out there. Our council
men are commercially disposed to econo-
mize, but not to the degree of crankiness,
and if the petitioner makes fair showing of
the urgency the city fathers will probably
grant their prayer.
Corvallis and Benton county people gem
orally demand no special appropriation for
the Agricultural College in this year. This
is the time for retrenchment, and in order
to advocate .ublic economy our representa-
tives should 60 into the legislature with
clean hands, and ask for nothing for their
county. The distribution of appropriations
has been the lever used by the Portland
men to move the county legislators to their
interests. The citizens of Benton county
want nothing but an economy that will les
sen their taxes. Amy affiliation of our rep
resentatiye with the Simon cabal will not be
excused on the ground of necessity for the
passage of local measure. 1t is easy for a
member of the legislature to commit politi-
cal suicide. Our last representatives learned
this. If Msssrs. Carter, Cooper and DAILY
canvass the county on the senatorial ques
tion they will find how dearly the people
who elected them, love the Portland ice-
berg. And they should remember that the
people do not care to sell their tirthright
for mess of frozen pottage.

SOCIAL HAPPENINGS.

The Social Whist Club met at Mrs. Robert
Huston's last Wednesday in regular bi.
weekly session. The afternoon was delight
fully passed in playing cards and concluded
with refreshments. The next meeting will
be at the residence OF Mrs. w. r. Peet
From 3 until o'clock Friday afternoon,
Mrs, Robert Wilson entertained few of
her lady friends at her home. A screed
prepared by Mrs. Bryson was read during
the afternoon, creating endless amusenent.
Crokinole and anagrams, with dainty re-
freshments added to the pleasure of a charm
ing afternoon.
Saturday evening the Misse, Lyford gave
an informal card party. The evening SO
stormy outside was the very converse within
the hospitable parlors. A novel guessing
game of the objects represented on copper
penny was the feature of the entertainment
Cards, dancing and refreshments were in
order until the hour of midnight which came
to soon.
