Death to Fruit Pests.

To make the orchard pay you must
spray, winter and summer, with Prof.
Browns Insect Exterminator. The only
insecticide known that will kill all insect
life without injury to tree, fruit or foliage.
Endorsed by the State Board of Horti-
culture Of California, Oregon, and Wash
ington. Used by many nurserymen and
0 chardists. My winter wash is the only
solution that will kill the woolly aphis,
(use only while the foliage is off. My
summer wash is sure destroyer Of the
codllng moth e--s..s,s, and all insects except
woolly aphis, (use just after the blossoms
fall Off. My hop house wash kills all
insects that infest vines, vegetables or
plants.
The ingredients used in my formulas can
be found in any drug store, costs much
less than o:her washes. Full and explicit
directions fo- mixing and using.
Knowing I have sure remedy, some
unprincipled patti are now selling imi;a-
tions. Therefore, to discourage all parties
have concluded (for short time only
to reduce the p,ice Of the three formulas

WANT AN INVESTIGATION.

Affairs in Lincoln county do not appear to
be running as smoothly as they might. 1t
is said that the county, now less than three
years old, is $50, 900 in debt and according
to street rumors in Toledo some persons have
bee, before the grand jury and asked that an
expert be appointed to investigate the books
of the various county officers. Speaking of
the matter, the Lincoln Leader s,ys:
If any person has sufficient evidence to
show that such an Investigation is liable to
produce results that will be at all commen-
surate with the expense that will be incurred,
then let the investigation come. But if we
must be put to this expense let it be done in
a manner that will be beyond question, and
let it be fathered by some one who can be
barren Of results And if we are to put this
expense let it start from the fist official act
Of the county and come down TO the last
Let us have it straight and complete, no
shielding, no shamming, no buncombe, no
campaigning, no lodging, and let the conses-
quences of such an investigation, be they
good or bad, fall exactly where they belong.
And also let every county office be subject to
the same rigid examination, ON coroner to
clerk. Let US have no oEe-sided business.
And, further, if we have to have this added
expense placed on the taxpayers, let it be
done by a totally dis;nterested and a wholly
competent person from some place outside o
the county, so that no political charge OF
charge of favoritism can be made.

The Secret of Good Crops.

The modern farmer is not content to use
the antiquated tools and methods of his
fathers. In this age of keen competition,
the farmer who wishes to prosper, needs and
gets the most improved fa ming implements;
and by reading the best agricultural litera-
ture, he keeps in touch with the spirit of
progress that porvades our farming commu-
mites. He is particular, also, in regard to
the kind of seed he plants and the manner
of planting it. The seeds must be Of high
est fertility and grown from the highest cul-
tivated and most profitable varieties of stock.
The great seed firm of D. M. Ferry g. Co.,
Detroit, Mich, fully appreciate this fact, as
is attested by their progressive business
methods and the quality of the seed which
supply farmers and gardeners through the
dealers all over the country. The relia bilty
and fertility of their seeds are proverbial
and the largest seed business in the world
has been created by their sale. In evidence
of this firms knowledge of the wants and
requirements of planters, large and small,
is Fe. i.ys seed Il AusuGl for 1896. This book
is of the greatest value to fermeas and gar
deners-a veritable encyclopaedia of plant
ing and farming knowledge. 1t contains
more useful and practical information than
many text books that are sold for dollar
or more, yet it will be mailed free to any one
sending his name and address on postal
card to the firm.

mutt 'tudes of persons in this great city who
do not have such things. Another great in
congruity has occurred to me several times.
Ones heart bleeds at the thought of so much
suffering as the city contains; but when one
sees the average poor man or poor woman
the heart some how stops. bleeding, so to
speak, as if it were the next one that would
be meritorious. The truth is the human

ample and the inevitable tendency of the
nineteenth century human heart, to follow

night, and in the morning, nothing but cheat
hay. In closing his letter, Mr.. Tom asks

Lazarus Van Bebber, an Oregon Pioneer
of 1876, died Tuesday morning at the
residence of his grandson, Sam King, in
Kings valley. Had the deceased lived
until the 27th of the present month, he
would have reached the advanced age of
90 years. He was born in Clayborn
county, Tenn. At the age of 2I years he
emigrated to Illinois, and there followed
farming until the spring of 1916, when,
with his family, he started across the
plains for Oregon. Arriving in Benton
comfy that fall he located donation
! land claim in Kings valley where he has
lived for over fifty years On the morn
. ing of his death the deceased ate a
hearty breakfast and seemed as we'll as
usual, but about an hour thereafter he was
stricken with heart disease and survived
but few minutes
Barney Martin arrived in Corvallis
Tuesday on sad mission. He brought
with him for interment the remains of
a younger brother recently found dead
near Myrtle Point, Coos county. Dur
ing recent sleet and snow storm, the
deceased, who was about 26 years of age,
started on foot for his home some miles
distant from Myrtle Point 1t is sup
posed that enroute he became exhaust
ed and benumbed with cold and stopped
by the wayside, dying from exposure. The
body was found few days later on the
bank of small stream, the feet and
legs under water to the knees. The
remains were brought by a coasting
vessel from Coos Bay to Portland and
from the latter point to Corvallis by rail.
The deceased was the son of Bobby.

Gen. John G. Black paid the following
magnificent tribute, only few days,

"Oh, my cOuntrymen, the few years
that are left to him OF all the centuries
he won for you should full Of honor
and repose. He comes in and goes out
before you, bent and grazing; now and
then he recalls the brave days of old;
he looks with dim eyes upon the flag
he saw lifted in glory; he falters in the
long march while 100000 stAlwart
men usurp his place in civic paths
and crowd his tottering steps back
into that wilderness where he brayed
the storm and saw the whirlwind, and
laid his dead away and listened for the
voice of his country, and, thank God,
heard it swell in triumphant tones
from Pennsylvania mountain and
mingled with the voice of the great
river and heard all the trumpets blow
for victory. Bear with him lovingly;
he upbore you and your cause before
you were. He vanishes slowly as the
years go by, but not lost! AS star
dust gathers to the rolling and con-
fragrant suns, so his deeds, his work,
his sacrifices, will gather into that
grandest figure, that, rising above the
whole continent, shall shine superb
through ages. Colossus of liberty,
serene, secure, unapproachablei
