has changed hands, and the house will
hereafter be under the charge of Mrs.

months ago from Michigan. Mrs. Will

expecting him to follow in few weeks,

Last Tuesday B. F. Jones went to Port
land in response to telegram from the
Portland hospital, to bring Judge Burt
home. The hospital physicians had
made a critical examination of the
judges condition aud had decided that
they could give no relief. Mr.. Jones re-
turned with the judge Wednesday even
ing. The judge stood the trips to and
from the hospital mach better than it
was expected. It's with sincere regret
that his many friends learn that he could
not be helped at the hospital.---Lincoln

They claim to be picking up gold in
Yamhill county. The Hook & Ladder
company will coin fun in Corvallis, Sat-
urday night, at the opera house. The
theatre will be crowded. Delegates to
the republican county convention will
take in the ELECTION of Morrissey."
There will be crowd over from Albany,
and Corvallis folks will, of course, turn
out en masse. The boys deserve to be
generally patronizcd by the citizens of
Corvallis, apart from any merits
performance, for the money they q
to raise will be expended indirectly
the further protection of the city against
fire. Volunteer FIRE companies can not
be too highly encouraged. Reserved
seats on sale at conover's, and those de-
string choice ones should not delay.
There is strong competition between
the o. c. & E. and the o. R. & N. Co.
for the Willamette river traffic. The Off
cials of the latter company are watching
with keenest interest the operation of the
Albrny, and when that boat leaves Port
land tomorrow morning she will have a
rival and there will be merry old race
to reach the locks first. The o. R. & N.
will put ON the Ruth to compete with the
Albany. o. R. & N. men claim that the
Albany cannot make her schedule time,
but she actually gained twenty minutes
on her schedule between Corvallis and
Salem yesterday. She left Corvallis 7:o5
a. m, five minutes late, but arrived in
Albany at s, ten minutes ahead of time
She took on there 21o bales of hay, leav-
ing Albany 45 minutes late, and arrived
at Salem at 1855 only as minutes late.
The o. c. & E. Co. is out with time,
schedule for the steamboat Albany that
is of considerable interest to the people
of Corvallis and vicinity. Commencing
yesterday, the boat leaves Corvallis Mon
day, Wednesday and Friday at a. m,
and arrives at Portland 6:3o p. m. She
leaves Portland Tuesdays, Thursdays and
Saturdays at 6 a. NJ, and arrives at Cor
Wallis II:2o p. m. The boat has been ele-
gantly furnished, including new piano,
and is especially prepared to cater to the
passenger trace. The fare is remarkably
low. From Corvallis to Portland the rate
is $I,25, and the round trip, good for 80
days, is only $2.oo. Freight rates are
equally reasonable. A steamboat ride to
Portland is a pleasant trip. and the AL
bany, with its capable and accommodating
officers and good travelling qualities, will
no doubt be literally parronized.
Benton county this week received two
valuable accessions to her steadily in
