MiSSouri'S Fruit Crop

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 16,-The Repub-
lie says today: The fruit crop of Mis-
souri, this year is roughly estimated to
be worth S20,00O,000 and many who
ought to know what they are talking
about say these figures are too low.
The Importance of this crop may be bet
ter understood when it is stated that 1t
is worth more than the wheat crop of
Missouri and Illinois combined, with the
cotton crop of Missouri thrown in for
good measure.

Local Teachers Institute.

Notwithstanding the rain and storm Of
the past week the fourth local teachers
institute, Benton county, Oregon, adyer-
tised for Friday evening and Saturday.
was held in in Monroe. The session
Friday night was success both as to the
program and attendance. The meeting
was held in the Methodiste church instead
of in Wilhelm's hall on account of the
hall not being supplied with heating
apparatus. The program consisted OF
recitations, and an address by Prof
Berchtold. The Saturdays session was
also held in the church owing to the mad
equacy of the schoolhouse to acconnmo-
date the crowd that had arrived. The
programme of the day consisted of dis
cussions and papers on The Recitation,
Industrial Training, Geography, Lam
guage, Relation of the Parent to the
Teacher, and talks on History, Reading,
and Physiology. The institute was well
attended at both sessions Persons living
as far as six miles distant came to the
day and night meetings. There were
twenty-seven teachers registered. The
discussions and papers were both enter
tanning and profitable. At the close of
the evening session vote OF thanks was
unanimously extended to Prof Berch-
told for his excellent address. ALL went
home at the close of the days work feel
ing amply paid for their time thus spent
and the inconvenience under which
they had been laboring.

The Populists.

At meeting of the county central
committee of the peoples party for Ben
ton county, Oregon, held at the court
house on Saturday, October %, 1897, the
following was unanimously adopted:
Whereas, It has become the custom OF
the people of all political parties to turn
the primaries over to the few and let that
few control the nominations in the inter-
est of rings, cliques and corporations
against the best interests of the masses
and,
Whereas, There is great need of a
change in the methods of conducting
nominations so as to give all the mem
bers of political party voice in saying
who their nominees shall be, therefore,
be it,
Resolved, That the peoples party OF
Benton county, Oregon, through its GEN.
tral committee, adopt the primary election
system OF nominating candidates, and
use the preferential system OF voting, as
we consider it the best method of reach
ing the people and ascertaining the wish
es of the greatest number of voters.

A True Story.

Tom was big freck1ed faced boy with
him like prize fighter, he was raised on
the canal and at TN time | first saw him
was living at the Basin a place on the
| canal where the boats passed. There
was small town there and big ware
house, and an Office belonging to trans
portation company. Toms mother did
washing and we IN the office first became
acquainted with Tom when he delivered
the washing and collected the money.
TOMS environment was about as bad as
it could be, he drove horse on the tow
path, worked in the stables and ware
house and at anything he could get to do.
He had to associate with about he rough
est and worst class of men in the state
and he lived among saloons for there
were about dozen of them at the Basin.
One day when Tom had collected the
wash bills Mr.. Innis thought he would
90 around and see TOMS mother and ask
if he took the money home. 1 guess
that day made Toms fortune for Innis
never tired OF telling how the poor wo-
man Dragged about her boy. They no
ticed Tom after that at the Office and
found that he was civil and polite, never
swore and did not drink, and that he
loved his mother, his great fault was that
he was always fighting and whipping
someone, but strict inquiry into his fights
showed that they were to his credit, he
was defending himself from gang of
toughs who were abusing him for the
very qualities that were best in him. He
had no education, but one day Innis en-
ployed him in the warehouse, then Tom
commenced to study and we helped him.
After short time he came into the Office

Tom was a gentleman. ] left there

of the city and that his little mother rode
in his carriage behind his spanking team

barefooted Tom had delivered washing

there any miracle about Toms success ?

Wheat Market.

The farmers of Benton county have
reason to congratulate themselves on
having the best market for their wheat
that there IS anywhere in the valley. In
most, if not all, of the other valley towns
the wheat market is controlled by the
Portland Mills Co., and just as soon as
wheat goes up little they stop buying,
In Corvallis the price is always higher
than at other valley points and the buy
ing never stops. A good deal of this is
due to the Corvallis mill-owners who are
always ready to buy at the top market
rates. But Yaquina bay and the 0. G.. &
E. railroad is the place and the instru-
ment to which it is mainly due. At this
point San Francisco market rates rule
and no Portland combination can regu-
late the price of grain for us as they do at
other points. The importance of Yaqui-
ma bay to the farmers of this valley is but
family realized by those whom it most
benefits.

Farmers Short Course.

To give the many Oregon farmers, who
are unable te leave home to take four
year course in the Agricultural College, q
share in the advantages of higher edu.
cation the Experiment Station has fol
years conducted farmers institutes in
various parts of the state.
The success of these encouraged the
Station, four years ago, to establish at the
Agricultural College what is known as a
Farmers Short Course. This covers q
field which on account of limited time
and lack of apparatus cannot be attempt
ed in farmers institute.
The course consists in series OF popu-
lar lectures along lines suited to aid hor-
ticulturists and dairymen in developing
the great natural resources of our state.
The lectures are all supplemented by
laboratory work under supervision of the
professors who strive to make the course
thoroughly practical by adapting the
work so far as possible to the needs of
each individual.
There is no charge for tuition and no
laboratory fees in this course, neither is
there any educational test for entrance.
Any man or woman who desires informa-
ton along the lines of horticulture,
dairying, ETC., will be welcomed. Good
board and lodging may be obtained in
Corvallis at from $3.50 to $4.OO per
week, and those desiring to lessen expen-
ses by boarding themselves can obtain
furnished rooms at reasonable rates.
Work will begin promptly Tuesday,
January 11th, and close Thursday, Feb
ruary 10th. The lectures, which will be
illustrated by a stereopticon under the
skillful management of Prof. Pernot,
should be taken consecutively to secure
the best results.

Football.

A football game between the Albany
College and the o. "A. c. took place on
the grounds here on;-Saturday last. The
game was won by the o. A. G. boys.
There was large crowd in attendance,
and the weather was bad. The Mite
says that the result of this game only
goes step farther to prove that the O.
A. G. team will be formidable one this
year and the championship for this little
game will probably be put in the inter-
collegiate silver cup won at Salem last
year, before the season is over. Next
Saturday a game will be played with the
Indians of the Chemawa training school,
and our boys will be put on their mettle,
for the Indian boys are swift, strong
players. Saturdays game promises to
be an interesting one.

The Cider Mill.

AT Mr.. HorsfalPs cider and vinegar
factory they are doing very useful work
for the farmers. Many hundreds OF
bushels of apples would waste on the
ground that ale now being turned into
cider and vinegar. They have made,
since they started 80 days ago, 10000
gallons of cider. OF this they have
shipped about 5000 gallons to San Fran
cisco, and have standing order from
there for all they can send them. They
expect to run for couple of months yet.
Everything about the premises is clean
and kept sweet by constant care and
scrubbing, and no one need hesitate to
buy Mr.. Horsfalls cider or vinegar.

it merely as the most brilliant of sea
fights, and in France it has been spoken
OF as reverse indeed, but one which
cannot cloud the splendor of tho battle
