The Benton County Citizens
League, if they want to advertise
Corvallis and vicinity, could do
nothing wiser than to mail copies
Of the GAZETTE to parties in the
East. This will prove to those whe
follow farming that F. L. Miller
pays the Portland price. or more,
for produce. A good LEGAL market
is the best advertisement.
It is estimated that there are
only about 100 bales of hops in
Oregon at present. By those posted
the statement is made that hop.
yards have wintered well. Oregon
dealers are already looking for con-
tracts at offers Of from 10 to II
cents, on the usual terms. The
usual terms" are cash for eultivat-
ing purposes and assistance in pick
ing time. Growers de not seem
anxious to come to terms on these
L premises. \
The Albany Democrat gives space
to the GAzETTE's item concerning
the egg guessing contest" in F. L..
Miller's store recently, and says
that no such number Of Linn eeun.
ty eggs could be gotten into. a tub
of the dimensions stated in our ar
ticle. Wreng again, Brother Nut
jty. Nearly all Of the eggs in that
tub came from Linn county and
from very near Albany at that.
Better prices are offered in Corval-
lis fer eggs than Albany can aferd
to pay and they naturally gravitate
in this direction.
On Saturday evening at 8 e'cleck
the department of gymnastics will
give an exhibition of the work done
so far this year in the Agricultural
College. The program will EN-.
brace class drills, apparatus work
tumbling, and music by the 0 A G
band. One of the numbers which
has attracted the attention of the
visitors is the hvgienic dumb bel
drill by the mems class. 1t is one
of the first performances of the kind
ever given in this city, but tits very
popular in the East and will prove
worth many times the small ad.
mission fee of fifteen cents. Tickets
or sale at the college library.
An Albany "theatrical troupe
went to Corvallis and displayed
their amateur talents to their best
ability. The CORVALLIS GAZETTE
gave a mild and friendly review oi
the performance, not, hewever
gushing with the fulsome fattery
which the company" thought they
deserved. and now the editor of the
GAZETTE is receiving bitter abuse
} from the Albany people. His oriti
cism is now charged to the fact thai
an Albany girl gave him the nit
ten and bestowed her smiles on an
