They Have Cleaned Up.

The Congregational church
grounds have been nicely clean
ed and fixed up during the past
few days, adding greatly to the
appearance of the premises and
showing that the people back of
the movement have the right
spirit and desire to do their best
for their own property and the
improvement of the city in
general.
This is commendable, and the
example should be followed by
other churches, and not alone by
these, but by every private citi-
zen on his own premises, and by
every body of citizens who have
anything to do with the public
buildings and business houses OF
the town.
When one has leisure, an OBJ
servation trip over the city will
pay for the time and trouble that
is spent. Conditions exist in
more than one supposedly we'll
regulated alley, back yard and
woodshed, shack and shanty that
are constant menace to the
health of residents of the immed-
late vicinity, and these should
for sanitary reasons, if not for
the sake otorder, be overcome.
If anyone thinks these hints
are far-fetched, let him stroll
around town some day, using
eyes and nose for proof, and he
will certainly be Convinced that
things are in need of betterment
in many a quarter.

From Lieut.. Williams.

A letter from Lieut.. Floyd
Williams was received by Claude
Swami, in Corvallis, Tuesday.
1t was written in Manila, June
23, and stated that the writer and
his wife were getting along finely
and that Lieut.. Williams liked
his position very much. 1t said
that the writer had been as
signed to the command of the
Second Company and would re-
main in Manila until ordered te
Ilocus, in the northwestern part
of Luzon.
Lieut.. Williams asked many
questions concerning OAC affairs,
and said, {" All 1 ask of you fel'
lows this year is to beat Eugene
in the annual football game, ano
I will be happy"
Mrs. Williams, he said, liked
the county there even better
than he did, and they were enjoy
ing the situation very we'll.

of pedestrians. The walk after
being in use for years, was last
sprlng rem owed and wire fencing
erected so that all travellers across
the bridge, whether On foot or
driving, have to pass over on the
roadway. In case of a runaway
team passing over the bridge
there is no cnance of get ting out
of the way and it is feared that
some serious accident will follow
some day if the old walk for
pedestrians is not restored. This
walklwas a part of the bridge
when Linn county took the care
of the structure and people max
ing use of the bridge daily, think
that it should be kept up as it
was when it became the property
of the county.

Permanent Club.

There has been considerable talk
among the members of the Benton
County Citizens League of organizing
a Commercial and Social Club with per-
manent quarters nicely furnished for the

president of the League some time ago
to look into the matter, and will be pre-

About the Bridge.

The following item appeared
in a recent issue of the Albany
Herald with reference to the steel
bridge at that point between the
counties of Benton and Linn:
The Linn county commission
ers' court meets this afternoon for
the August term with consider
able docket on hand. Among
the matters coming up Tor con-
sideration will be some road
work and bridge construction,
and with the latter it is expected
that some Albany people will ap-

Factory For Corvallis

A Michigan man, now residing
in South Benton, was in Corval-
lis this week and during a CONVEX
sation with friend dropped sew
feral suggestions of general inter-
est.
81 don't want to say anything
against your country, for the
Willamette Valley climate cannot
be beaten" said the gentleman in
question. 'But," he added,
'you people have got to have
better returns from your land, or
a man cannot afford to live here.
eff the people would devote
their time to diversified farming,
they would make dollars where
they now make cents. For in
stance, back in Michigan in the
section where 1 lived, only in
certain places is the soil adapted
borrowing peas, beans and sweet
corr, but in these sections they
raise these things entirely. There
is a factory in the nearby town
where they can peas, corn and
beans, and the farmers make all
kinds of money out of their little
Iplats of ground.
SHOW, if Benton farmers
could be persuaded to let wheat
alone, they could make from $50
Ito $50 per acre every year out of
their farms, and by establishing
Ia canning factory for such products
IA corvallis the town would be
greatly benefited, asweH as afor-
ding market for the farmers
produce. Your soil here is ad-
mirably adapted to pea and bean
culture. and all that is lacking
is tor the Willamette Valley farm
er to awaken to his opportunity.
GAS for nae, 1 arm going back
to Michigan, for I can't make
anything here. raising wheat, and
one can't raise anything else un-
til people get awake and establish
market for other things"
These suggestions arepractical,
and every year in Benton sug-
gests the wisdom of getting
out of the old rut of continual
wheat raising, and trying diversi-
fed farming, which in othe,
states is pronounced the bette'
plan by far.

Strips Horse.

The recent electric storm was
an eye-opener for the oldest in
habitant of these parts. While
the storm appeared quite severe
to the initiated, those who came
from certain eastern centers
would consider it very mild.
However, the thuuderbolts of
Jove were guilty OF some freak
ish capers. From the following
dispatch sent out from Indepen-
depce it seems that a most pee
uliar occurrence took place in
Kings Valley.
Report of lightning freaks dur
ing the electrical storm Saturday
comes from Kings Valley, IS
miles south west of here. John
Price had harnessed up his
horse preparatory to driving to
town and left it hitched to a
buggy in front, of his hon>e,

duced to kindling wood.

the writer had been assigned to
the command of the Second Com

If this program were followed

A BIG ORDER.
Buying Hardwood Lumber for
Frisco Hotel.

w. B. Bradbury, the San Fran
cisco capitalist, has been in Cor
Wallis this week seeking lumber
of the finest kind obtainable for
the interior flushing of a big hotel
that he is to build in devastated
Frisco. It will be only three
stories, but elegantly finished.
Mr.. Bradbury is millionaire,
and before the fire, owned two
big hotels in the ruined city, one
of which was situated on Veness
Avenue. Mr.. Bradbury and wife
were in this hotel when the quake
came and the fire broke around
them. With woman's presence
of mind, Mrs. Bradbury, think
ing the fire might reach them,
packed two or three trunks OF val
uables and awaited Developments.
They came.
The fire swept onward and the
soldiers broke in the massive
plate glass windows at the hotel
and ordered the owners to get out
A $3.50 seal-skin coat hung in the
hall and this Mr.. Bradbury at
temped to secure but was told to
get out, and he ''got," saving
only his diamonds and the trunks
that his wife had packed. The
soldiers then fired the hotel, to
prevent spread of the flames on
VanNess Avenue, but as the pub
lie knows, to no avail.
This hotel commanded a rental
of $500 per month, and before
the ashes were cold the site was
rented out by Mr.. Bradbury for
$500 per month, so high have
the rates gone since the fire, and
even higher figure could have
been secured by waiting until the
present.
It is to rebuild this destroyed
hotel THAT Mr. Bradbury came to
Corvallis in search of lumber.
He has placed an order with F..
w. Strong for 1000 feet of hard
wood principally white maple,
for the castings, doors, mouldings
and other inside fnishings of the
building. The order includes
no doors, IA inches thick, and
Mr. Strong has arranged for the
Buxton planning mill to do the
work of getting the material in
shape and to furnish some of the
wood.
Mr.. Bradbury visited Everett,
WASH, where ne bargained 70,
200, 600 feet of fir, for which, in
the rough, he paid SIS dollars
per thousand f. o. b. and as this
will cost $40 laid down in Frisco
it is then $8 cheaper on the
thousand than rough lumber can
b pure ha:ei for in Frisco today,
so Mr.. Bradbury figures that he
has made money by coming te
Corvallis and Everett to deal.
The lumber for the outside of the
hotel will be shipped from Port
land.

HOP PROSPECT.
Authentic Claims OF Fifteen
Cents Offered.

Sh&S
The Portland Telegram of
Friday night endeavored to dis
credit the report that IS cent
offers for hops were authentic,
the reason being that the few
bearish hop buyers who make
headquarters in Portland would
not allow themselves to believe
the fact and gave the Telegram
a fill to the effect that the report
was untrue. Last evening, how
ever, the Telegram had received
new light and admitted that such
offers were heard of. d.
Yes, indeed, they are heard of
in every direction iu the real hop
center of Oregou-Salem-where
there is always a strong set of
live, up.to.date hop buyers, who
keep thoroughly informed on
conditions in all parts of the
world and are always ready to
respond to them.
During the past forty-eight
hours, several buyers here have
made contracts at IS cents and
more than likely the coming
business week will see offers con-
siderably above that figure.
Louis La.hmund & Co. made
some purchases at the figure
named. Joseph Harris took in
600 bales at that price; Klaber
& Wolf have MEN in the fields
offering IS cents in any direction
where good hops are to be found;
Krebs Bros. have made several
buys at the same price and they
want several more, SO it can be
readily seen that there is no lack
of offers, the only trouble being
to find growers who will accept
them.
Julius Pincus is author of the
following facts concerning the
sales of hops of Yamhill and
Washington counties: Oscar
Weidner of Portland bought $50
bales of Hatchcroft Brothers at
North Yamhill at IS cents. The
same firm bought up several
other small lots aggregating 400
bales at IS cents.
BENZ. Schwarz of New York
through his agent, JOS. Harris,
bought 12o, 900 pounds of the
Miller and Obye crops at Nc
Minnville and Whiteson at IS
cents. Klaber, Wolf and N etter
bought $50 bales at Forest Grove
at IS cents.
Growers are not inclined to
sell even at IS cents and buyers
are taking options at 16 cents,
owing to the unfavorable reports
from England aud the conti-
nent. In speaking of the con-
ditions in this section, Mr.. Pin
Gus says:
81 see no reason wtlv hops
will not be selling tor 20 cents
before harvest. The shortage in
Europe is bound to bring the
price of Oregon hops up. There
will, nevertheless, be a shortage
of several thousand bales in the
American 1896 crop over the
1905 CROP"
This is encouraging for the
growers, since it came from a
buyer.
In letter received yesterday
from the secretary of the Sonoma
County Hop Growers Exchange
at Santa Rosa, Calf, it is learn
ed that hops are being contracted
for at IS and 15H cents. The
writer goes on to say that Sono.
ma county is only going to have
a fair crop.-Salem Statesman.

The well-Bred Girl.

It Is said that the girl of to-day is lacking in breeding and manners. That is because two classes of daugh- ters are in the public eye-the daugh- ters of the super-rich. who have grown arrogant and who imagine that wealth endovs them with the right to be rude. and the daughters of the poor who faunt bad manners in public be- cause they know no better. Between these two Is that great mass of we'll bred girls. some daughters of old fam flies still well to do. and others whose fathers may have laid bricks or even carried them. but vho through edu- cation. self-eulture and contact with the better class of men and women in the business world have mastered the true art of gentle vomanhood

ROGERS BROTHERS.

This year the Rogers Brothers find themselves in Ireland. They are not Irishmen themselves, and in that they are unlike anybody else that appears in "The Rogers Brothers in Ireland" the musial comedy by Me- Nally, Hobart and Hoffman, to be presented at Polls Tuesday evening. The brothers adhere to tue broken German dialect, which has been theirs from the time they iirst ap- peared, and which will probably re
 main with them until the last cur tain drops. In the second and third acts are presented the parodies without which the Rogers brothers could never feel at home. There are fourteen musical spcialIies. Irish melody characterizes the tunes. Much money was spent on the seen cry and costumes. Herbert Gresham and Ned Wayburn staged the new play. The cast includes Gus and Max Rogers, Josie Intropidi, Bessie De Voie, Ethel Intropoili, Julia East man, Maurice Darcy, Arthur V. Gibson, William Torpey, Grace Grin dell, Lillian Collins, Lynn Darcy and 100 others. Seats Monday Tel ephone 116-2. Positively no free list. Prices 50, 75, $1 and $1.5O.
