A feature of the Woodmen carni val of interest to mothers, is the baby show. It is believed that the display will be a sight that would be a sight that woull tickle Presi dent Roosevelt nearly to death. The meeting of old soldiers, which occurs tonight, will be held at the Court House instead of at the Woodman Hall as hitherto an nounced. All old soldiers are in vited to attend and participate in the meeting. The following bands submitted propositions to furnish music dur ing carnival wees: ueniountam, Sheridan, Monmouth and Philo math. The latter's bid, was the lowest and the committee awarded the' contract to that organization. The college sheep were sheared vebterday 'with a shearing' machine that works like the hairclippers used by barbers and.is operated by band-power. This is the first time the machine has been used on the farm. The station men say there is little gain over hand shearing. Readers of the Gazette are given a tip that they will miss a most en joyable event if they take in the picnic at Bellfountam camp ground May -2olb, under the auppices of the Woodmen of the World.

The O A C students in chapel "rah rah Wednesday morning rahed" and "zip boom beed" loud j and long for Dr. Hill and Hills Portland Military Academy. The cheering followed the reading, by President Gate i, of a letter from Dr. Hill inviting the O A C faculty j and students to be the guests, at lunch, of the academy. About 300 j O A Ceans accepted Dr. Hill's gen erous hospitality. Three hundred, and eight ticketB were sold here for the yesterday ex-! cursion to Portland, including those purchased for the O A C cadets, i It was expected that there would be 500 excursionists from Corvallis, but nearly all of the president seers went to Portland on the regular train Thursday. A car of Philo math people was a part of the ex cursion tram. : ine. kj a v; caaeis, in spotless uniform and with shin ing Springnelds, made a handsome appearance. - Mies Ethel Kyle, who is teaching school over in Aisea, has proved herself equal to the occasion. This week being the week of the teach;, ers' institute held in Philoma'K and the roads being impassable for a vehicle, and not being able . to procure a horse in the valley fo ride, and the law compelling Yrr tobejn attendance, she toother foot in hand and in company with Mr. Jns, walked to Philomath, a distance of 22 miles, v She then pro cured a team and driven and was at home by 6 p. m.

"The Unburied Dead." Service at Witbam's school house at 3 p m. H. A. Deck, pastor. That the O A C cadets were able to go to" Portland and participate in the .parade yesterday was due chiefly to the energetic and effectr ive' efforts of Dr. Withycombe, di rector of the Experiment station. The people '. who went to Albany to see the president were disap pointed. It had been announced that his tram would stop there five minutes, but instead it whisked by at the speed of 50 miles an hour. There is to be a big go . at Wil-J lamette,. tsaturday, June 6th. A grange and union school picnic is scheduled to occur at that date. The program has not been com pleted but a stirring time is assured. G. E.

A large number of prom inent . Sunday school workers will Jake part. - . It is probable that there will be no referendum on any of the acts of the last legislature. - Petitions for the referendum oh the Lewis' & Clark's fair . bear 2751 signatures, and: many of the signers are not registered votera As 4386 signa tures are required to have any act referred to the people, it is not probable that the attempt to delay the fair will succeed.; Yesterday was the last day for filing petitions. It is possible that sufficient' names hare been hied to make it neces sary to refer the portage railway bill. . : . Hermann Tomorrow. One Oregonian received a spe cial invitation from the president to accompany him from Salem to Portland. The recipient of this unusual attention is Binger Hermann.;-' , r ; ' x " The invitation is exceptional for all such matters are usually left with the , lqcal committees," but Roosevelt resents the false pleading, of Mr; Reames' that the president and Hermann are "at outs," and beside his pre previous announcement that the relations oetweerr him&elf and Mr. Hermann have alwas been and are very : cordial, he extends this special proof of friendship. Mr. Hermann speaks in Cor vallis at the., court bouse tomor row afternoon. He does not come here s s a stranger but will speaks to old-time and present time friends and supporters. A great - many . democrats of this county knowr. Mr.' Herman's ability to "do things,' and will support him at the polls. Mr- Hermann will not de nounce ? his opponent. - He is above that sort ef campaigning. He will speak plainly and direct ly of the matters that concern us as citizens and no one . will re gret hearing him. The meeting opens at 1:30. r. Zurcher-Howard Nuptials, Mr. James Drummond Zur cher, of Enterprise, Oregon, and Miss Edith Howard, of this city, were united in marriage Wednes day morning at the home of the bride's parents Corvallis.

They will make, their home at Enterprise, Oregon. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs." Joseph Howard, who have extensive stock inter ests in . Klamath county. Dur ing her stay in Corvallis she has made many friends by her gra cious and - charming- personality. Mr. Zurcher formerly attended the Oregon Agricultural College and was popular among the stu dents and townspeople. He was a star in the football team. A large party of friends, ac companied by the- college band, gathered at the station and the newlv married bair beean their bndal tour amid strains of music. showers of rice" and hearty con gratulations. i The Best iff Sixty-Five. For the past few weeks much interest has been manifested in the work being done in connection7 with the National In tercollfgiate -Prohibition Association. ToBight in College Armory this interest will be centralized about the eix orators who have been chosen fiom sixty-five competitors representing various col leges in California, Washington and Ore eon. .. -.p.; - From a literary and oratorical stand point this contest has a peculiar interest. Interstate as it is, it offers opportunity for the larger institutions of each state to meet and tonight no small part of the interest will be directed toward the rep resentatives from some of the most noted colleges and universities on the Pacific Coast. . " ' The phenomenal growth and keen in terest in this branch of intercollegiate oratory is nartly "due to the substantial prizes offered. No other oratorical asso ciation in America ' offers better and naturally the "competitors have been anions the brightest to be found in tie largest colleges apd- universities in the countrjv " - .v As far back-as 1-E94; an interstate con test was., held ion - the Atlantic Coast at which thirteen . states competed.; Since then not a single ,y ear has passed without its contest. :aefeieari at Lincoln, Ne braska, it was decided. to hold three con tests, one for tie- -Atlantic, .One for the Central .end one,' for' the Pacific .states.

Improving Their Work! -The. annual teachers institute closed its work at. Philomath, last Wednesday. It is reported to ave beea the best in stitute held in our county ibr many years. The attendance was regular and the en thusiasm- and interest pi the teachers could not have been . better. The en rollment was., the .highest for several years. It reached., 00, Ifivery teacher in Benton except, one .was. .present. One teacher showed her interest in her work by walking from V Alsea . to Philomath. By the way, this w(aa not a male teacher but a lady teacher. V - Those (acting aa instructors were : Supt. J. H. Ackerman, : Prof. B. F, Mul key and ProI.Sheldon. Prof. G. A. Peterson was:; appointed secretary and Prof. F. . Baroun acted as choris'er. The work of . the instructors was of the hiehest order. . The teachers were highly pleased wi th the work of each. one. . The evening sessions were well attend ed.. After, avpleasingymusical program on Monday evening,. Pres. B..F. Mulkey delivered a most interesting and enter taining lecture on "Sciences of An cientp.".

The democratic managers of this, th. First Oregon Congres sional district began the cam paign by protesting against Her mann's hand-shake. They - are concluding by apologizing for Reaines' "hand-write." 'Those mimographed "confidential" let ters, scattered broadcast through ! out l&e strict were really very '?"'' undignified and.impotent. A Rooseveltian incident that has escaped the notice oi the press is told by a Corvallisite who is employed at Washington, D. C. The president was entertain ing his warm friend, Jacob Riis, the well known essayist, at din ner. Mr. Riis stated that his old mother, was quite sick at her home in Holland. The presi dent expressed his sympathy and calling his secretary immediately dictated the following cablegram, which was sent to the old lady : "Your son dining with us. You have our heartfelt sympathy. T. & Edith Roosevelt." . It is presumed that this leflee- tion upon our White House chef was entirely unintentional. President Gatch, of the O A C enjoys fun. This week James Zurcher, a former popular stu dent and football player, married a charming young Corvallis lady. The intended parties took pains to keep the approaching event from the public, and James drove into town, from Albany, after dark Tuesday night. But there was a leak. Wednesday morn ing at chapel exercise President Gatch spoke in the following vein: . "I am about to entrust you with, a secret, and I wish every student to keep it. Mr. Zurcher, who last year did valiant service - for the college on the football field, is to be " married quietly this morning and wishes to depart quietly on thefternoon train. . As old friends we should respect-his wishes. There are enough students who have no first hour classes to prevent a noisy demonstration, and this they will doubtless do. If nec essary they might take the cadet band along to drown undesirable cheers. " r So.; it .happened that the young couple slipped away unobserved - except by a large crowd of friends from the college and town, and if the strains of music did not . altogether drown, the cheers it:wasu riot the band's ferity - "; V :r ''eV- - .At the beginning of the school year a number of new students were gathered in Pres.'' Gatch's I omce ; 1 ne president oDservea that one young lad -kept his'hat on. The ;- president was Jiot shocked at the breach of courtesy but he was afraid the other student- would "josh' ' the boy, so he went up quietly to the hatted one and said. "I will find a place for your hat." "No, thank you" responded the boy, "I'll-' keep it on. I'm not going to stay long." . Orville Jennings, a former Cor vallis boy, and now a S. P. en gineer running between Portland and Roseb'urg, has 'begun suit in the Multnomah county courts to compel his wife to re deed him. a house and lot in Portland valued at $8,000. He is compelled to live at Roseburg but his" wife refused to leave Portland unless he deeded her the-property in dispute. He did so, but Mrs. Jennings concluded that since she had now a pretty Portland home all her own, the Oregon metropolis was . good enough for her. She refused to go to Roseburg and Orville wants his home back. , ' Department Says August ' c Postmaster Johnson has been urging the immediate establishment of.
