Gibson bas had workmen employed at the. task of removing the fire bell from the old tower of the city hall to a tower that has been, construct ed near the center of the roof of the building. The place that the bell formerly occupied was never satis factory for the reason that the ropes for ringing it did not come straight down, but pulled off over, the front of the building1 so twat it was diffi cult of ; manipulation. Another cause of complaint was that it was housed in so that the clang of the bell did not ring out as it should.

The idea is to acquaint the public with what the college is doing through the newspapers as well as througn Duiietins. And as soon as an experiment is completed and definite results as certained, the board believes that this knowledge should be dessem inated through the press of the state, in concise, readable arti cles.

The members accepted the invitation of Mrs. Haywood to dine at Al pha Hall, where they enjoyed a delicious repast after the meeting. Thinking Makes It So. The other day, surrounded by a number ot nis -mends, a prom inent attorney of this city related some or his experiences on nis arrival in Oregon thirty years ago." He reached Corvallis "dead broke," about April ist, 1873 He secured the position of honor able city attorney on account of the position;- having . been re fused by other attorneys an d the first year received for his ser vices the "measly" sum :of $15 j Next he was given a sort of bob-tailed case in Philomath, won it, and was paid" a dollar or two. Following in the wake of this case he was retained for a "heads-youvwiurtails-you --lose " proposition in Linn county it came ' 'heads' ' - for him and he felt as though he inhabited the Holy City. Late in the following fall his wife was expected to arrive and he was busy for some time previ ous at a sawmill manufacturing clumsy furniture to set up house keeping with when she appeared He made several tables, and the lees of these he coated with a dark wood stain when the cover was over them they looked like walnut. He had two trunks and no use for either so he sold one to assist in keeping soul and body together. He bought some articles or August Knight, now deceased, on "jaw-bone" and dodged Mr. Knight for many- months there after. Finally his wife arrived and they started housekeeping with a borrowed stove that had but three legs it looked-nice and the attorney and his wife" were always afraid the owner would call for it. - Christmas day dawned and the young attorney expected tnat New Years would see him work ing on the sidewalks of Corvallis. He had but 75 cents. Of this sum he "blew" himself for 25 cents worth of ..peanuts and re ceived about as , manv as one would get now for a dime. The peanuts he and his wife ate and wefe as nappy as kings, despite the dismal outlook. The attor ney in question succeeded and many Christmas days have passed with turkeys on his table, but he says that perhaps the happiest of them all was the one on which he and his young wife ate the peanuts. After all, 'tis "think ing makes it so." which appeared . in the Gazette a year or more agoon the occa sion of his completing - a small steamer that was perfect in all its details.

It has the usual complement of lifeboats It has a couple of searchlights and everything that is necessarv for a model fighting . machine On board is ; an electric battery which drives the propeller, and it drives it, too. The little craft is made of zinc and weighs about fifteen pounds It is nicely painted and together with the "Stars and Stripes" flys a Chinese dragon, it . has . two air-tight compartments v which makes it float nicely and when the electric battery is turned loose it is capable of considera Die speed, rne propeller is re versible and the craft can be run either forward or backward. During the week the craft has been in charge of ? Clinton Cam eron, who had it tor the purpose of raffling it off, and who placed it in the show window of nis father's harness 'shop. It is needless to say that it attracted great attention.' : James Hayes is Dead.
