WHAT NEGLECT MEANS.
ga Long Pull and Strong Pull
and a Pull Altogether" Needed.

1t requires time and money to
put ones residence property in
first class condition and keep it
so. To clean up the premises,
make a lawn, put out and train
flowers, build concrete walks and
keep everything in the best pos
sible shape means something
both in labor and expense.
But it is a matter of pride with
the individual and he feels re-
paid for his trouble by the beaut-
iful lawn, flowers and ornament
al trees and shrubs that respond
so quickly to his labor, and the
result is a benefit to the entire
city, because attractive premises
make an attractive town, and an
attractive town brings home
seekers and home-buyers.
But it is discouraging to spend
money and labor on a place only
to have the neighbors on either
side or all about neglect their
yards and join their rickety old
sidewalks onto ones new con-
crete walk. 1t is an outrage to
ones sense of the beautiful; it
destroys the harmony and one
feels that the effort put forth in
beautifying the place is half lost
because of the neighbor's neg
lect. The effect is marred by
the unsightly yards and walks
round about, and the fact is very
discouraging to the progressive
citizen.
If all would pull together for
a cleaner, prettier town, for more
) beautiful lawns, better fences
and better walks, what changes
} would be wrought 1t is the
> only way to get results quickly,
| certainly and with only moderate
4 expense. Much complaint is
S heard because the ''city" does
t not do this or that in the way OF
g improvements, but let us ask
T who is the city? You are a part
: of it and your neighbor it part
e Every resident is a part ano
must do his share if anything
e great is to be done.
n Let no one detract from the
# beauty Of his neighbor's hom
i by neglecting the property ad
h Joining. If you are guilty o
tc spelling the effect OF his labor
it in this manner, get busy and Sc
al if you cannot make your ow
to place even more attractive tina,
IL his. A spirit of friendly rivalr
n. is more to be desired than is
IL. don't 't-care habit such as is tc
H. plainly evident in many quarter
9n Of town.

For Instance.

For instance, there is a deep sea
fish in shape like John dory, which
has literally a globular electric light g
hanging in front of its mouth at the
end of a long arched cord springlng
from the back of its head. Ihls
light illuhlinates the darkness OF the
depths and serves to attract the
small fishes, I suppose as a lamp at
tracts moths, for they float rapidly
into the open and expectant mouth
of the larger one, which thus with
very little trouble enjoys sub

HawIey's Candidacy Popular.

A. w. Hawley, republican
candidate for county commits
sioner, owns a large farm
near Bellefountain. He has been
a resident of Benton county 81
years, being a native son. He
is thorough gentleman, is
qualified as d business man, and
if elected to the position OF coun--
tv commissioner will doubtless
| fill the Office to the satisfaction
of all. Residing in the country
as he does he is more familiar
with the needs of the rural dis
tricts than would be the case
we're he a resident OF Corvallis,
thus making up the county
court entirely of town residents.
His opponent on the democratic
ticket resides in Corvallis and
his election would mean a coun-
ty court made up wholly OF Cor
Wallis citizens. This condition,
| it is said, would not meet with
general approval in the country.

To the People of Corvallis.

This is written to all those who
are willing to render a little help

has shown that the people OF
Corvallis are of that sort, once
they are convinced that the pro-

The OAC Y. NJ c. A. is a
branch of an organization that
aims to help men in all ways.
That there is need of a steady
ing force in the life Of a college

this purpose the Y. M. G. A. is
Indispensable. It is doing what
no church or league can 40.
During the past year the Y. M
| G. A. has found rooms for ap-
proximately 400 students, and
has secured work for about. the
same number. 1t has now paid

sPENcER's TREE.
An Incident of Pioneer Life In Old
Tennessee.

One seldom hears nowadays OF
the man who gave his name to
Spencer's tree, SAYS Miss o. u.
Bond, the author oi ''Old Tales Re
told; or, Perils ard Adventures OF
Tennessee Pioneers. but IN olden
times the name of Thomas Sharpe
Spencer was connected with many
tales of Tennessee adventure. He
was a man of extraordinary size, re
markably kind and gentle hearted.
He went to Cumberland county IN
1776 in company with John Halh-
day to explore and hunt In the un-
known forests.
Halliday decided not to stay, and
Spencer went with him as far as the
border of Kentucky to put him
safely so far on his way home. Kind
and thoughtful to the last, the big
man with the big heart broke in two
pieces his long hunting knife and
gave half of it to Halliday, who had
unfortunately lost his own.
With only half knife and his
rifle Spencer turned back into the
forest and began to look out for a
site for his home. He was fortu-
nate in finding not only a suitable
place for a field, but also ready tc
hand large dwelling, vacant OF {
tenant.
The foundations of the structure
were fastened deep in the earth, tn
walls we're tinted silver gray, tn
lofty roof was lichen green, and 1t
frettcd pinnacles lowered toWar'
the sky.
The dwelling had tall openln|
! in one side, through which Spence
walked into the hollow Of the grea
sycamore tree which was to be nj
home and took possession Of a spa
cious chamber which measured neal
ly eleven feet across and thirty Zee
and more around. :,
The new proprietor stood his rlfl
against the wall, hung powderlhor
and drinking euPsAren preJeetlef
Of the wood and was ready fe
housekeeping. At nightfall r
spread down a furry bear skin an
lay serenely down to sleep.
Spencer lived in his tree throue
Y the varying seasons of a full yea
n caring nothing for wind or rain al
- minding neither heat nor cold
f: his snug retreat. The tall sycamoo
known as Spencer's tree stood 1
: many years after its tenant HI n
passed away and was long point
out as an example Of the magnl
cent growth found by the plonee
l. in our primeval forests.

Cleaning Rugs and Hangings.

In cleaning rugs and upholstery
hangings it is good plan to make use
of sawdust and ammonia. Put the
sawdust into a tub and pour in enough
household ammonia to soak it to the
bottom. Beat the draperies or rugs
free of dust. Put them into the saw
dust, and with small whisk broom rub
the mixture well into othe article to be
cleaned. The dirt will disappear at
once. Hang. out of doors to dry and
air.

Milford Peach Market.

This week was the first real peach
week OF the season, and the first good
fruit commenced to come to market
freely on Monday, when seven CARS and
a fraction were loaded at the depot,
about 1000 baskets were shipped on the
steamer City OF Milford. Mt. Rose
peaches were highly cOlored and sold
from 50 to so cents, just according to
the size and quality II the fruit. CTaw-
ford Early brought from 40 to 50 cents
per basket, but most OF the yellow fruit
was ordinary stock. The growers by
stringiDg out down Railroad Avenue
get the buyers split up, and then it is
difficult to get the usual competition in
bidding. Ifall would drive to a certain
spot, sell their fruit and pass on, the
prices would be fairer to all, and the
unloading Of wagons be more rapid.
Tuesday the supply of fruit was not
so large and the buyers were greedy
for them, and as a result the prices
were higher s. John Abbott received
S62 for SO baskets, but there was much
ordinary fruit sold at from 40 to so
cents Good fruit averaged about 60
cents. A little under five car loads
were shipped.
Wednesday the market was not so
strong, as advices from the markets
indicated that peaches were not carry
ing as well as they should this was
not to be wondered at because Of the
excessive humidity. 1t requires a dry
to have fruit ship well. The
prices started in at 40 to 80 cents for
average fruit, while some better stock
sold as high as 20 cents. A few really
fine lots of Crawfords and Fancy Mt.
Rose sold up to so cents.
Thursday the rain shortened the sup
ply of fruit and prices ranged from 40
cents early in the morning to $l.06 per
basket Just before the market was over.
Philip Griffith received $l.06 for sixty.
four baskets Of fancy colOred peaches,
and others brought 81, 95 and 80 cents
in large loads. The weather is very
much against the fruit carrying well.
