Lime and Humus.

Il IS claimed by many investigators
that lime conserves humus: or, in other
words, retains it in the soil. Any eau.
tious observer may have noticed that
the drainage water of recently MANFRED
sandy soils deficient in lime, are colored;
whereas, the drainage water from limy
soils, when similarly MANFRED, are color
less This would naturally lead to the
conclusion that lime helps to retain hu-
mus. This can be shown in another
wav-if lime is added to the liquid off
manure, it viii make it nearly colorless.
Lime does not only assist in retaining
hufaus, but it also brings about more
rapid change of inactive or unavailable
humus, or vegetable matter. But lime
does still more, it increases the power OF
humus tofx potash and ammonia in the
soil: that is, fix and retain these sub
stances in the available.
Both the color and the extreme fertility
81 the wonderfully fertile black soils of
our middle Western States and prairies
seem to be due to the presence of these
Slime compounds. These compounds form
combinations which retain the color and
fertility contained in the humus, and that
IS made available by the decomposition
Of the soil particles.

Oregon Ffunes.
Would Make Line Across United
States. Build Long Wall.

If placed in a straight line
the prunes which have been
shipped IRON Albany this season
would reach all the way across
the United States, and from Port
land to San Francisco besides.
Or they would built a wall three
feet high from Albany to Port
land. Ninety-four car loads
have been sent out thus far this
season, and the total shi pmeut
will be brought up to at least
100. This is the greatest amount
of prunes ever shipped from an
Oregon city in one season.
Each carload of this shipment
contained 40, 600 pounds. The
prunes ran from 40 to SO to the
pound. Taking As as an aver
age, the total shipment would
contain 18o, 900, 900 prunes.
When dried and prepared for
shipment the prunes are about
~ inches in width. Thus, if
placed in a straight line they
would reach $3.50 miles declares
the Portland Telegram.
The prune crop of all the sur
rounding country was shipped
from Albany this year. The
shipment was made by Lasselle
Brothers, and their prune- pack
ing hous in this city has been
running day and night for weeks.
Cars have been sent at the rate
of one car per day. One carload
was billed straight through to
Liverpool, and shipments were
made to New York, Kansas
City, St. Louis, Cincinnati,
Cleveland, Chicago and Winni-
peg.
Two years ago Laselle Broth
ers began shipping prunes from
Albany on a large scale and have
made that city the prune center
of Oregon. Though their ship
ment last year was record
breaker, they have exceeded it
this year by several cars.

The goods are packed and the
doors of the N. A. Fisher music
store are practically closed to the
public, The proprietor suddenly
took himself out of Corvallis
on last Friday night, and
the mystery of his whereabouts
is closely guarded by the young
wife who is supposed to know
whittier he has gone, tits de-
clared the motive for his sudden
fitting is not due to financial
difficulties, but to personal mo-
tives which are only guessed at
by those who are most closely
concerned. While it has all
along been given out by Mr..
Fisher that he represented a Eu-
gene piano house, it is asserted
now that he was operating the
local establishment for the Eilers'
firm of Portland, who will take
possession of the stock. Mrs.
FISHER is to go to her people at
Drain. She is an estimable lady
and has made many friends dur
ing her brief residence here.

Jerry From Kerry.

Jerry from Kerry, a funny
musical farce comedy, in which
that cheerful comic character is
the central figure, will be the
attraction at the opera house to-.
morrow night. The interest in
the laughable, diverting and
humorous incidents, events and
happenings of this comedy never
ceases or fags, and its success has
been little short of amazing. The
profuse comedy it contains has
had much to do with its securing
popular favor, and the scenes
hustling in animated action, per-
meated with unadulterated mirlh
and startling novelties, quaint
originality in catchy music aud
elaborate costuming, and pre-
sented by caste of the best arr
lists possible to secure, have all
contributed to its success.

Another Shippers Congress.

To hold another congress OF
Willamette Valley shippers just
before the Legislature meets, to
show the Oregon lawn akers that
the sentiments recently expressed
at Eugene about the car shortage
situation have not cooled, is now
the expressed purpose of num-
Der of heavy exporters in this
part OF the state, says dispatch
from Albany in the Portland
Telegram this week. Albany
will probably be chosen as the
place for this second car-shortage
conference. Shippers who be-
lieve another conference advis-
able to consnmmate the objects
set forth at Eugene have practi-
cally decided on conference
early in January.
The principal purpose is to put
the demands for legislation on
the car shortage evil in more de-
finite form. The embryonic
measures advocated at Eugene
are now being generally discus
sed, and it is believed opinion
will be crystalized before the
date OF the proposed Albany con-
gress. The shippers will then be
able to formulate their demands
in definite and exact resolutions
to the Oregon Legislature. It is
expected that a call for the con.
gress will soon go forth.

Should Vote Tax.

A prominent rancher Of South
eru Benton, in Corvallis, Tues
day, talked of roads above this
citv. Beginning at point four
miles south of Corvallis and ex-
tending to the Buttes is a stretch
of road that is knee deep with
mud just now and over which no
one would attempt to haul much
of a load.
"The farmers on either side OF
this stretch of road are well-to-
do, in fact, rich," declared the
rancher who discussed the mat
ter Tuesday, land they could very
easily vote tax to have the road
improved. Monroe has repeated
ly voted such a tax until almost
all roads in that district are era-
veled, aud in district No. IS,
known as the Barclay district,
they have done the same"
The section first mentioned is
declared to be the only real bad
road between Corvallis and Eu-
gene, and by adopting the same
methods by which other districts
have graded and graveled their
highways this stretch could be
placed in good condition also,
aud the farmers residing along
either side would thus rid them
selves of the censure to which
they are now subjected, and gain
immeasurably besides in having
a good, hard road over which to

BIG Meeting There.
Summit Has Great Timetables
are Fine Cooks.

A big educational feast was
enjoyed by a packed house of
parents and friends of the public
school at Summit last Saturday,
where Sup't Denman had arran-
ged to hold one OF his successful
meetings of parents and school
patrons. The roomy school
was filled until a large number
had to remain standing during
the entire day.
The Summit and Nashville
schools furnished an excellent
literary program. There was
photographic music and select
ions by an orchestra. The band
came to the trout with a number
of fine pieces. During the noon
hour the ladies served one of
their delicious dinners. Ali had
brought their dinners with them,
and to say fine time was had
and that the dinner was very
tempting, goes without saying.
Everything disappeared from the
table in a comparatively short
time, that is to say, most every.
one present could not get away
with all they wanted to. 1t was
a splendid eff ,rt on the part of
the ladies of this section of the
county.
The regular program consisted
of discussions of questions which
concerned the school directly.
M. J. A. Coldren, an ex-teacher
OF ten years experience, gave
so nae excellent suggestions which
were practical and helpful to the
parents on The parents atti-
tude toward the school," He
handled his subject without
gloves, andtold the parents things
they needed to be told.
Sup't Denmau discussed the
plans and contemplated arrange.
ments for the All Benton School
Fair next year. This subject has
aroused intense interest all over
the county. The parents and
pupils of Summit and neighbor-
ing vicinity are going to get in
and be in the front ranks when
the time comes for awarding
prizes. Mr.. R. R. Miller,
teacher of Summit, read an ex-
cellent paper on "What should
a teacher do besides teach" 1t
contained excellent suggest
ions for every teacher. Teach
ers not present lost al
good thing by not being able to
hear it. T. T. Vincent gave a
talk on "What is complete edu-
cation" He discussed his SUBJ
ject thoroughly. and in his pleas
ant way held the attention of all
present. During the day vocal
music was rendered by Miss
Hymes and Horace and Manly
