The Corvallis Times complains as fol-
lows: One Corvallis business house
moved TO other and fresher fields lac,
Monday. and two or three others are pre-
pairing to follow suit. Their departure
lessons the number OF persons who pay
rent, spend money fcr a living, and help
to bear the common tax burden. Il di-
minishes the towns wealth and the
number OF people in it. Lark OF business,
caused by Corvallis people sending abroad
for their clothing, dress goods. groceries,
printing, etc., explains why these firms
are going away. II enough people per.
sist in sending away for articles that
they can get just az good aud just IS
cheaply at home, by and By there will
be no town left to tell the tale.

What fools We mortsls be-" Ths
Salem Journal emphasizes this old say
ing witt the following incident. A young
lady student OF willamette university,

thought she would place lier pure con-
tanning $40 in gold and about So in ell

should any of the numerous burglars
about the city call during her absence.
With this purpose 10 view she placed
her purse on the CRATE in the parlor

about an hour later, she looked within
the stove aud found-no. her purse as
she had left it-but a mass OF melted

All the papers are demanding more
diversified farming. This is all good
theoretically, and the farmers are get
ting around to diversified farming az
fast as possible; bat the truth ia this can
only be done gradually and as bnsines,
iusti6es. Wheat will have to be the
main product for many years. As Q
matter OF fact, though, the farmers who
are raising every thing possible and
turning their attention TO different
things are the ones who are making the
most money.

The following appears in the dis
patches of the Goth, from Montgomery,
Ala. MANY persons have recently
witnessed q remarkable manifestation
in James Regions cottage, near the
state line in Choctaw county. Each oc-
currence has begun with loud rumb-
ling, which, upon reaching the roof OF
the cottage, dies away into continuous
ticking as of q telegraph instrument.
Upon one occasion, when child fell
asleep in bed, tho ticking began upon
the floor. Suddenly a stream of light
penetrated the floor, and enveloped the
sleeping child. When che awoke she
said che had been in heaven, and thai
the Savior had told her he had manifest
ed himself in the ticking upon the roof
The phenomenon is regarded by PASTOR
as miracle, aud is bringing hundreds
to conversion in that neighbc.hood.
This is very silly stuff. Depend upoi
it the Savior will never manifest him
sslI by any ticking process. He will d
it in an intelligent way. There is prob
ably some trick in these manifestation
just for notoriety.

SATURDAY NIGHT THOUGHTS.

Several years ago on two occasions
Albany was absorbed over the failure OF
a -four mill. On each occasion much
talk was INDUCED in as is natural when
anything of this character occurs In
which so many people are interested
financially. There were exciting events
in connection with them; but no one
was hurt, though there was plenty Of
smoke in that direction. This week for
the third time Albany has been sgitsted
with mill failure. All OF our mills
have had tn cir failures. This one has
come at different era, for it finds us in
the midst Of greater depression than on
the other occasions. But on the other
hand it probably affects much less
number OF PEOPLE seriously. As nearly
as can be learned only four persons had
over IGo0 bushels stored in the Red
Crown Mills, they in amounts ot 5000
1000, 5000 and 1l00 total of 10. 100
bushels, cnly two or three bad more
than 500 and less than 1000 bushels, d
very few over 100 and less than 500; the
! number between 30 and 100 even was
small the greatest number ranged iIom
10 to so bushels, left in the mill for flouI
purposes, grand total of about 2SOOt
bushels. OF this amount the use o1
about 10000 bushels had been obtained
while the remainder had not. This lefI
an unpermitted shortage OF about l30Ol
bushels, upon the bins In the mill beer
found to be- empty. 1t is peculiar thint
