A Fine Exhibit.

During the past few days the
wood work department at OAC
has had on display many useful and
ornamental things made by stMd-
ents taking this course. The work
has been examined by many
visitors and found favor with all.
This department is under the
supervision of Thomas Rilyeu,
and the work is certainly credit
to him, as we'll as OAC.
The collection consists of some
five or six Morris chairs of differ
.ent designs, and they are very
fine. There is hat and um-
brella rack combined that is
worked out on original lines, as
is also a screen rack. Fine stand
tables, beautifully inlaid, demand
attention, and there are a numbe,
of wooden models made for use as
patterns in the manufacture oi
machines. Many beautiful orna-
mental pieces have been wrought,
all most skillfsllv, too. As a
whole the collection is splendid
and well worth going consider.

minds of many victims of Brisht's dis.

thankfulness by the benefit derived from

81 am fully cognizant of the
fact that the above does not ap-
peal to US encouraging1y, and on
the other hand, taking the same
as basis for our operation and
conduct of the City's affairs for
the coming year, it appears quite
discouraging, but I am no be-
lever in the impossible thing in
this day and have long since
learned that the harder the task
found before me the closer one
must apply oneself in order to
overcome the obstacle encounter
ed and I feel this to be no
exception. And by our each
giving his earnest individual
effort to the task set before us, at
all times working in harmony, I
feel sure success will eventually
perch upon upon our banner, or
rather upon the banner OF onr
beloved city. We, too, are con-
fronted with the fact that being
in the midst of an age of great
prosperity, our towns and cities
all over this great Northwest are
forging ahead as never before
we, too, showing greater growth
just at this time than at any other
period of time in the Citv's
history. Hence, funds or no
funds, we cannot lay down at
this stage of the great game be-
ing played, in which especially
all our valley cities are contest
ants. In fact, we>must keep
pace with our internal growth and
the growth Of our institution
of learning, for which we all en-
tertain a great pride, even though
we should be compelled to resort
to an income tax. But 1t is to
be hoped that such may not be
found necessary. If we have the
support of our entire citizenship
as we should and as I feel we will
l have no hesitancy in saying
that such an extreme will be
unnecessary.
However, we must under
stand that it is possible for us to
make ourselves personally liable
IN case of our exceeding our au-
thority or acting contrary to the
law in such cases provided. And
especially is this true just at this
time, as it appears that notice has
been given (or to say the least,
attempt has been made) of our
worthy predecessors having ex-
ceeded the limit OF indebtedness
as allowed by charter to-wit:
$40, 900, (not particularly our i'm
mediate predecessors, but all
those coming before us)."
we are sorry that lack of space
compells US to forego the desire
to print Mayor Johnson's state
ment to the members of the
Council entire. 1t may be stated
that while he outlined many
plans for future civic improve
ment, he was we'll aware that the
financial condition of the citv
required an economical admins
tration.

EXPOSITION ITEMS.
OF Interest to Benton County
People by Special
Correspondent.

The first week of the Fair is
over, and it is to be hoped that
the rain, which has stayed with
US most of that time, is. also over.
The attendance, after the open.
ing day, has been necessarily
slim. But with the advent o1
the second week bright weather
has commenced, and the crowds
of the last few days are but fore.
shadow wings of what may be ex-
pected later in the season. The
bulk of exhibits are now in place
and the Fair is we'll worth a visit.
The Odd Fellows procession
was the great feature of Friday,
and was something of which the
order can well be proud. 1t ex-
tended for ten blocks, and was
composed of as fine body oi
men as ever turned out in a pro-
cession. After the procession
most of the visiting delegates
took stroll arousd the Fair
grounds.
Among the Corvallis delegates
were noticed John Erwin, your
genial assistant in the county
clerks office, also Harry Cronise,
the afable manager of the c & E
company's affairs in your city.
Milton Morgan was also in this
city on Friday, attending bust
ness. He was billed here for
several days. Geo. Waggoner
was to be seen around the Fair
retailing ''Stories of Old Oregon"
as a Benton county product.
Harvey Sargent is carefully ex-
amining the foundations of the
different buildings, and search
ing for gopher holes. Dr.. Lee
was here earlier in the week.
Wallace Baldwin, an old time
citizen of Benton, was a caller
at the Booth last week. Mr.. and
Mrs. Heron, who live near Mon
roe, were also seen viewing the
agricultural exhibits.
Benton county is fortunate in
having two such energetic and
courteous young men in charge
of her agricultural exhibit, as
N. L. Raber and H. S. French.
One of them can be found at all
times at the booth, where citizens
of the county will always find a
warm welcome. Every visitor
from this section should call here
and register their names.
Benton county has very neat
exhibit, as far as it goes, but it
should be increased. There is
not enough of it, and it does not
attract the attention it Should.
Stir yourselves good citizens, and
let Us have something that the
county will be proud of, and
something that will attract the
eastern people who are coming
here looking for homes. Our ex-
hibit is too thin and scattered. It
needs filling up.
Probably the most interesting
exhibits of the Fair are grouped
IN the Manufactures aud Liberal
Arts Building. Here are certain
ly some of the finest displays o.
the grounds. Beginning with the
southeast corner where the print.
ing exhibits are grouped, may be
found the fastest printing press in
the world that prints from type

The above are mainly in the
nature of estimates and we will

any repairs to the main sewer
system, hence, barring any ex-
traordinary heavy expense for the
repair of our main sewer at the
foot of Jefferson street, feel sure
that by economical management
we may be able to keep within
the limit given above. You will
note that I am not making any
estimate of warrant issue tor

out of the general fund, as un-
derstand the law requires such to
be issued against special fund
known as the sewer fund; and
here permit me to recommend
that all sewer warrants be SO
drawn and designated.

CASTLES FOR THE FISHES.
And Various Other Curious Things
Provided for Home Aquariums.

From the New York Sun
An odd sort of business is the manufac-
ture of the pottery ornaments used in home
aquarium tanks, engaged in which there are
In this country two concerns, one in Phila-
delphia and one In Chicago.
These ornaments serve a decorative pur-
pose, and they give, also, coverts for the
little fishes In the tank. such as they might
find among the rocks In their native waters
Tank ornaments of this sort are made,
for instance. in the form OF castles. Some
OF them are castles with single tower,
some have two towers with an archeo
bridge between. The fishes IN the tank swim
through the opening under the arch be-
tween the towers, and they swim In and
out through openings to be found in the
pottery rock on which the castle stands
Among these pottery aquarium orna-
ments are to be found imitation piles of
rocks. these also with perforations, ana
imitation tree stumps, likewise perforated;
and there are little rocky caverns. Ana
Mere are figures Of old fishermen, in va
rious sizes, including some separate fig
ures, and some of figures sitting on q rock
this with holes through 1t SO that the fish
can swim through under the fishermen.
