turned out by Sheasgreen & Newhouse
for use in packing dried fruits The
prune boxes are neatly constructed of
dressed cottonwood lumber, and the
ends are labeled "Choice Oregon Dried
Prunes. - These boxes when filled will
contain twenty-five pounds of dried fruit
The same firm is also turning out boxes
for dried apples, which are about double
the size of the prune boxes and hold
fifty pounds. Orders for these boxes are
coming in rapidly and before the season
is over several thousand will likely be
sold
Several Corvallis hop-pickers are
mourning the loss of their dollars paid to
an Independence photographer for pic
lures that never came During the
month of September/a number of per-
SONS living in this vicinity were engaged
in picking hops in the yard of Heron &
Bouzie, near Buena Vista. A photogra-
pher came along and took cash orders
for pictures of those working in the
yard, agreeing to send the photographs
the following Tuesday. About six weeks
have since elapsed and the failure of the
pictures to arrive is causing those who
plid their hard-earned cash to believe
they have been fimfannled.

monuments that are erected in honor of
the departed that are buried in that quiet

Corvallis on the last steamer and was set
up this week by John Scrafford, the we'll
known marble cutter of this city.
Stock Inspector R c. Kigor called at
this Office last week and requested the
GAZETTE to call the attention of owners
of scabby sheep to the fact that during
the present month was the proper lime
for treatment of the disease. Mr.. Kiger
has already discovered two or three
bands of scabby sheep and is of the
opinion that there are others. Persons
having knowledge of any such bands are
requested to notify Mr.. Kiger in order
tlat he may require their owners to
apply the proper remedies. Unless he
is put in possession of the necessary in
formation it will be impossible to pre-
vent the spread of the disease with its
attendant losses. 81

and if its removal would cause a new
