White in Corvallis they were the guests of Pro fessor and Mrs. Horner. .Vjj Five houses in Wilkins' addition, that have been vacant during the summer months, are now occupied by people coming here to enjoy our ; excellent school "facilities. In fact, the vacant properties about town are now " pretty generally filled, and if the influx of new residents continues, more ' : houses will have to be built to accommodate - them. This plainly shows that the wave of re turning prosperity is upon us. Let us do nothing to retard it ' , The chairman of the testimonial com mittee for the battleship Oregon, C. H. Dodd, of Portland, has selected Mrs. Olive S. England, of Salem, to assist the committee in the work of raising funds for the purpose of obtaining a silver ser vice to be presented to that famous float ing engine-of-war in the near future. In his letter to Mrs. England the chair man suggests several ideas that could be used as a means of inducing people to subscribe toward the project . One is to prepare a booth at the coming state fair, appoint several of the handsomest young ladies of the capital city, having them dressed in naval suits, and let them solicit ' donations, large or small, from every man, woman and child, as they pass by the booth. Mrs. England is in every respect capable of takeing charge of this patriotic movement and carry it to success and the committee displayed its good judgment in selecting her as an assistant Statesman. " About a year aero Mrs. Will Holgate build a portable desk for her use as state secretary of the Order of Eastern Star.. It was a very ingenious and. convenient affair, large eriougfi to hold all. the books and records of her of gce in good shape, beirig-nio're conven ient to carry around than a trunk, and ai the same time furnishing a fine desk. A lady in" Roseburg," who holds a similar position in the Rebecca, admired the desk and has ordered one from Mr. Holgate. She was unable to have it made in her city. . The college is to have an exhibit at the state fair this year that will prob ably eclipse anything of the sort on the grounds. An O. C & E. car, containing the exhibit, was shipped to Salem Tues day. It will be in charge of Professors French and Coote, and .will o-cupy a space in th- paviilion 14 feet wide and 64 feet loug. The display will include a large variety of plants from the green houses, 50 varieties of grain, 150 varie ties of potatoes, 40 or 50 varieties of fruit, samples of work turned out by the stu dents in the mechanical departments and an interesting exhibit from the de partment of photography; Major Bruce and Wm. Gird have for many years occupied -1 45-acre tract of laud to which they hold no title. The tract was deeded to them, but the person making deeds had, no equitable title to the lands until, the third of this month, when a filing was made on the tract by John A. Ta; lor, a recent arrival from the east, it was the property of Uncle Sim, the land having never been patent ed. Since making the filing, another difficulty has arisen that may prevent Mr. Taylor from completing his title to t the premises. The Oregon & California ! R. R Co. claims the land under the a.t of 1863, which granted the companv the unoccuoied lands in the o.ld sections for a distance of tweuty miles on either side of its line. " The land in question was in- spected last week by T. E Grote, ap - l praiser for the Oregon & California, who placed the company'-, valuation upon it with a view to offering it for sale. What the outcome will be is a matter of con- jecture. The matter will probably be settled in the U S. courts, in which eveht a decision is not likely to be had for tnonts and perhaps years. . - . j J. S. Felton returned Monday from a brief visit in Eugene. While in that cily he was the guest of H. D. Wylie, whose farm adjoined that of Mr. Fentou in the state of Minnesota, where they resided for mnnv v-efire rr,i-irhiia f-r, rptiiAinnr tn - j j f-v .uv....& v Oregon. Mr. Wylie's wife is the lady who recovered so miraculously last Easter after being without the use of her lower limbs for a period of eleven years. Mr. Felton, who is an old friend of Mrs. Wylie's, says she attributes her cure to faith and prayer and claims that Christ alone was the healer. After losing the ' use of her limbs she received medical at-' tendance for several years without any relief and her physicians claimed her ; trouble was incurable. She read the ! bible constantly for comfort, cs s! e claimed, and prayed finally for divii;e assistance.. On Easter . Sunday a strange feeling took possession tf'Ler which finally induced her to make an ef fort to walk. She made the effort aud strauge to relate it proved successful. Since that, time she has been able to carry on the duties of her household and has suffered no pain whatever, her cure having seemingly been complete.

Later on, his sister, Mrs. Lafe Stewarf entered the saloon and entreated I him to ro home with her and mend his ways. This he refused to do at first rml fi nally was induced to go with her to Skip ton's stable, where, according to a pre arranged plan, Sheriff Osborn and Deputy Skipton were in waiting. In turning him over to the officers Mrs. Stewart stated that she was unwilling to longer, as one of his bondsmen, allow him his liberty as he had threatened violence to numerous persons who were in danger unless he was confined in jail. Scott was immediately taken to the sheriff's office where he was searched and re lieved of his personal effects before being again incarcerated. The scene at the court house is said to have been a most affecting one. There he abused his sis ter so shamefully for her action in turn ing him over to the- officers- that she fainted several times and was in. a faint when- he was taken from the sheriff's office to the jail. Scott, is a desperate character when drinking and the opinion prevails that he should be kept confined pending his trial.

Fire broke out Monday morning about 10:30 o'clock in the establishment of the Corvallis Evaporating company, in Wilk in?' addition. The flames quickly comniun- I i0"16'1 to Doffm"n'8 planing mill, which ad joined the evaporator,' and both buildinjjs were entirely consumed. The evaporator had been completed only a few days aud was built by Messrs. Uartless & B'akcsVe at a cot of 1,000. The engine, boiler and most of the machinery in the planing mill had been removed or otherwise the loss on xwtaWishment would have been quite heavy. As it was Mr. Hoffman sustained loss of about $600, one-half of which was on the- building and the other half on contpnts, consisting of window - frames, mouldings aud similar manufactured stuff. Neither o!' lh( buildings wus inurnd. . The fire is supposed U h ive caught from a spark from one of the flues of the dryer. When the alarm was turned in tho di'pait ment responded promptly, but upon the ar rival of the hook and laddert'ompnnv upon the scene the flanrwhad gained such head way that nothing could be done to save the buildings. A that, section of town is en tirely without water service the hose com panies cuuld render no assistance whatever. The fire was intensely hot, The wind was blowing quite strongly and., adjacent build ings 'were in danger f aeirg set on tire by the flying embers, but the hook and ladder company's bucket brigade was soon hard at work and kept the flames from spreading. Theuppvr floor of the pinning mill was used by Messrs. Hart.!p. & Blakslee as a store room for their dried fruit. . Th lower floor was stacked with boxes of green prunes waiting to 1 dried. Of those some threo hundred bushels were carried out and left in t,m -e,rets, hut they might just as well have burnvd. for it will He. impoMfihli, to save them owing to an entire lack of drying fa- eilities.

OPBNBD UKOKS FIATVBalNO CON DITIONS. Monday, Oregon' Agricultural College b,gan its -J8th schohis.ic year under the most flattering .urance of a successful ten months of school. In almost every reject the" institution starts out this fH with more favorable conditions than usual. By every train students have been flocking in, until at noon y-iterday the total enrollment was 1!72. Of this nnsiher, 39 are taking the agriei 1 tural course; 113 the mechanical course; 74 household economy, and , nine members of the 4Ui year class. aw -tiiking the B. S. d igree, and 38 arc in the preparatory de partment. . One hundred and eighteen s'u d nits are taking first year work and are divided in four divisions. Last year th total number enrolled was 201 and of this numbr 51 were included in the 'class that graduated in June. At the open ing exercises Monday each of the new pro fessors made a -hurt talk to the students briefly outlining the work in their respect! -e departments. They are all young men, fuil of enthusiasm, and in their opening re marks, favnrrtblv imnriKiiMl the tnHellt-- fcmdered the new students and the new pro- j f'isso" and their wives, in the assembly hall.

The program began with a piano selection by Arthur Wood, followed by a vocal solo by Miss Jennie Gellatly. Both, number--were enthusiastically received. The feature of the evening was an address delivered by President P. L. Campbe.ll, of the state normal school of Monmouth. His remarks were in keeping with the occasion and were attentively listened to. Some of the reason he advanced why young men and women should make an effort to obtain an oducation, were: To be able to honestly make a living; tomako a financial success in life and to bocome intelligent citizens. Education firt developed the man; then the artist, poet or statesman. He thought the student owed much to the state, and through lile should labor for Its welfare. Speaking of the climate of Oregon, he said it was simi lar to that of Europe from whence had come the brightest men the world had ever pro duced. This climate .Sere as not. as many supposed, calculated to came indolence, but on the contrary, was favorable to the fullest development of both mind and body, and he believed that graduates from the institu tions of lcarni.tr of Oregon would be called upon to fill the highest positions of honor in the country, and they would be moving spirits in shaping the destinies of the repub lic. - . .

What Should .Oregon Give the Oregon ? -Suggestions Wanted From Boys and Girls. Onaof the finest war-hips ill the United States navv has been named the "Oregon." It is pioposed that the people' of the state acknowledge this honor by some suitable gift to the gallant guardian of our national peace and safety. A committee has been appointed by Governor Ird hi take charge of the matter and it is hard at work. The public school children .-re going to be asked to co-operate with the committee in raising 'iinds, for the children are a. patriotic as the older folks. It has not yet oeen divided what the gift sbuli be. and the coinmiUee is anxious for suggestions. Boys and girU have very deeided ideas on the question of presents and the Uazuttu thinks they should be heard from, so iiis going to offer prize for the bej-t suggestions from school children. The boy or girl who sends the Gazkttk the best composition on the subject "What Should Oregon Give thcOn-gon, add Whv?" will receive & in cash, and the second best composition will earn one year's subscrip tion to the Oazkttk. X committee will be appointed to deciae which is the best, and neatness, penmanship and style will te taken into con.-ideration. The olmpo.-itions must not have lest than 200 words nor more than aftO. Only actual public public school children under 17 years can comjiete and the compositions must he sent in before Nov. 1st, lrt!iS. Each con testant must certify that the composition is his or her own work and the parent or taaeher inusi certify as to attending school and being under 17 years of age. Sow boys aud girls gut to w rk. It won't hurt you to try even if you doii'i get the prite, and yoil have a good show to get it. Send in your compositions as soon as you can, for the Gazlttk will publish nil the best ones, telling who wrote them aiid what schools the boy and girls attend. The testimonial committee appointed by the g verr.or, it might be said, exp.n t to raise about $10,00.1. - WARSHUS OF TUB FUTURE. A recent issue of the Scientific American contains an article from , the pen of J. U. Walker, formerly of this city, which will, no doubt, hold the attention of the navy de partment, by reason of the many valuable facts and excellent suggestions it contains, with regard to the construction and arma ment of - future warships. Mr. Wa'ker points out the lessons taught by the battle of the Yalu; that greatest of naval encounters which occurred during the. late Cniiut Ja pan war. liuiutotore, the manner of construction and equipment of our warships has been all theory, now wo have had a practical lesson, and the significance of that lesson is splen didly toid by Mr. Walker. We hare been stocking our navy with an admirable collec tion of speedy excuraion boaM instead of formidable warships. We give below the five important points taught by thai dramat ic slaughter at the mouth of the Yalu, as pointed out by Mr. Walker: - 1. A" more extended use of stout side armor, with a tendency to carry water -line armor completely fore and aft; as in the French and Kussinu ships. - 2. In the case of armored barbettes or turrets, the extending of the armor down to a connection with the water line belt; so that the protection from axis of gun down to water line may be complete. 3. .Fewer guiis with heavier shields. 4. The. elimination of all wood or com bustible material lroni the coiit-truction. 5. As far as compatible with desiderata, an increase in the speed. Pedal Spheroid. With the opening of the O. A. C, football talk is again in "the ascendancy. The boys have already laid their plans and are look ing for material among the new students. Terrel, McAllister, Bodine, Phillips, Owsley. Nichols, Godwin and the two Stimpsons will be the nucleus, of this year's .' team. Einil Zeis will doubtless play and ought to be invincible. The boys realize that the rival teams mean business and that they must get right to work. Eugene is deter mined to win this year and is moving heaven and earth for money and players. Their work last year proved that they have rood material. The people of Corvallis have always taken a strong interest in the college football fortunes and have given the bovs substantial financial aid. Abe team will need considerable money this year. They must have it. Arrangements are being made for a popular concert to be given about the 15th of next month for the bene fit of the football fund. It promises to be a big affair. The participants are already re hearsing. Fuller announcements will be given later. , ; RIP-A-N-S The modern stand ard Family Medi cine: Cures the common every-day ills of humanity.
