Make it Into Vinegar.

The opinion prevails among
these who have studied the ques-
ton that the most effective legal
measure for inducing spraying is
to prevent the sale o. fruit infect
ed with either the codling moth or
the San Jose scale. The rigid
enforcement of the law against
the sale of such fruit may be an
ticipated by fruit growers in all
counties where the inspectors are
at work. There has been some
misunderstanding about the law,
however. The sale of the infect
ed fruit will not be permitted,
but there is nothing to prevent
its use on the farm for making
vinegar. The vinegar made from
scaly or wormy fruit may not be
so appetiziug to think of, but it
is wholesome and good and there
is no objection to tine use of in
fected fruit in that wav. We
know 10 reason why infected
fruit which has been treated with
kerosene cannot be used for max
ing denatured alcoho', but at
present factories tor making de-
natured alcohol are lacking.

Additional Local,

The practical joker has turned loose in
Portland again. This time it is Attorney
Marion Dolph who is the victim, and to
his Office the other day came nine baby
buggies, one at time, from nine differ
ent furniture houses in the city, After
dismissing the sixth deliveryman, Dolph
locked himself up and ordered his steno-
grspher to tell the rest that he had gone
fishing, and for while the stenoZraphe
had busy time of it. AS Mr.. Dolph is
single man the joke was doublv absurd.
The johnson building is growing with
wonderful rapidity since the good wealth

walls are well up. Every body has an

At SALEM.
Wnat Has Been ssDoing" the Past
Few Days.

Some of the news from Salem
The last of the week has special
interest Tor Corvallis and Benton
county, while other items are of
general interest. Among the
dispatches are the following:
For maintenance for the next
two years the University of Ore
gon will receive from the state
$3.50, 900, unless the house bill
making this appropriation which
passed the senate be vetoed by
the governor. The appropria-
ton bill met with considerable
opposition, and OH the ground
that too large a maintenance fund
was being established. Some of
the senators believed that the
university should have generous
appropriations for all its needs,
but that part of the total sum
should be devoted to betterment
of the university and new build
ings.
Senator Smith of Marion coun-
tv said that the state has the be-
ginning Of a great educational
institution at Eugene, and that if
the state could afford it as much
as $500, 900 ought to be given for
the development of the uuiversi-
ty. He believed, however, that
the appropriations should be Sc
gregated, instead of being voted
in a lump sum. Senator Coke
said:
eve have just voted $37,5oo
a year tor the Oregon Agricul-
tural college which has more
than 500 students. If the Agri-
cultural college with that number
of students can get along with
$4,000 year for maintenance
the university certainly does not
need $125,ooo year for mainte-
nance when it has less than half
as manv students as the Agricul-
tural college"

ONLY SIX DAYS.
Instead of Ten State Fair Items
Many Changes Made.

The effort to have the state
fair hold for ten days has failed
and it will last only the usual six
days. That people attending
this year will find many improve
ments about the fair grounds IS
evident, aud that there will be
better accommodations than ever
before is also certain. Some of
the improvements are mentioned
in dispatch from Salem, as fol-
lows:
Since the fair of last year the
board has been considering the
feasibility of holding the show for
ten days out at the request of the
North Bend Pacific Coast Live
stock association it was hually
agreed to hold it for the same
length OF time as formerly. This
is made necessary because many
of the members of this associa-
ton are accustomed to m lake the
northwest circuit with their herds
and a logger session at Salem
would interfere with their en-
gagements at other fairs.
An innovation that will be
made this year is the building of
boxes along the front row of the
grand stand which will be rented
to parties by the week or day.
Last year there were many calls
for preferred positions among the
spectators and it was very diff
cult for the fair commission to
satisfy all in that respect.
Some changes were also made
in the revision of the classical
ton of horses and the arrange
ment of the premium mouey.
which has increased considerable
bv offers from outside sources
Most o. the changes, however,
were made in the poultry and
horse department
The bar privilege has been
awarded to w. R. Blown of Port
land, whose bid was 1875. The
other two bidders were Daniel
Sherret of Portland, $3.50, and
w. E. Wiley, 1926, who had the
privilege at the last fair.
The big restaurant privilege
was awarded to E. M. Law for
$125. At previous meeting
the pool privilege was granted to
w. B. Ayre and the score card
privilege to R. ]. Hendricks of
Salem.
Among those who attended the
board meeting was J. D. Gordon
of Dundee, one of the new horse
breeders OF Oregon. He recent
ly arrived from Dakota. He
signi6ed bis intention of bring
ing IL horses to the coming fair.
He raises Clydesdales.

Legislature Does Handsome
Thing by Corvallis College.

ASK and We shall receive"
was the belief of those who made
known to the Oregon legislature
this year the needs of the Oregon
Agricultural college, and their
faith in this case proved well
founded for OAC was handsome
lv treated and all Corvallis and
Benton, as well as the state in
general, has cause to rejoice in
the good fortune that has come
this way. The story is told in
Fridays Oregonion in full as
follow
BY vote of "a ayes and II
noes the House this afternoon ap-
propriated $I5o.ooo f'r new
buildings and Improvements at
the State Agricultural College at
Corvallis. Of this amount $75,-
600 is made availa ole for expen-
diture during the present year for
the following purposes: Addi-
tional land and building of
walks, $4,000; erection and
equipment of machine shop
building, $40, oao; state barn for
farm and dairy and other neces-
sary outbuildiugs, $40, ooo, A
similar amount is placed at the
disposal of the college for the
year 1908 for erection of an ad-
ministration building, necessary
Improvements, purchase of nee
essary tools and other equip
ments for the different depart
ments, and other incidental ex-
penses.
The bill was first considered
by the House in committee of
the whole, with Vawter in the
chair. Carter in brief state
ment presented the ne ds of the
institution which by an increased
growth from $50 students in 1904
to a present enrolment of moe
than 800 has entirely outstriped
its facilities, making additional
buildings for which the appro-
priations provided essential to
prosecuting successfully the work
OF the school.
Barrett, of Washington, sup
ported by Campbell, sought to
have stricken from the appro pria-
tion for the year 1907 the item of
| SIS, 900 for the purchase of ad-
ditlonal land and construction OF
walks. Carter agreed to such au
amendment, which was carried,
only to have the vote reconsider
ed few minutes later and the
item restored to the bill. The
section was then adopted with
out amendment.
Barrett and Campbell then
sought to have the appropriation
of $4,000 for the year 1903
stricken from the bill, but this
was defeated by large majority.
The bill was then favorably re-
ported back to the House with
the recommendation that it pass
j without amendment.
The vote on the passage of the
bill resulted in IS ayes, II noes
aud 4 absent. Those voting
against the bill were: Barrett OF
| Washington, Brix, Campbell,
I Crawford, Dye, Edwards, Jones
of Clackamas, McCallon, Purdy,
Racklef, Upmeir.
| Friends of the Agricultural
College also won point in the
Senate this afternoon by having
the annual maintenance appro-
priation raised from $37, 500 to
$50, 900. The bill as introduced
provided for $50. 900, but on mo-
ton of Senator Kay the amount
was cut to $37,5oo, and raised
again today, ou motion OF Joha-
, son. The bill passed with only
three dissenting votes-Kay,
Smith OF Marion, and Haines.
| The House bill for appropria-
tons tor Improvements will
