MEN OF THE FUTURE. No better or more forcible il lustration could be shown of the kind of men who will make the future history of Oregon than that shown today on the college campus in this city. It would not require a very keen student of human nature to arrive' at the conclusion that the coming years may be safely entrusted to such manly young men as the ranks of the cadeu 1 ' T 1 T " T-l corps contained loaay. livery young man of the many hun dreds who passed the rigid in spection had proven by obedi ence to discipline, by ability to execute and strength to with stand, that he possessed the qualifications r.e:essar.v to tak ing a -place in the buy life of the state and by his brain and brawn helping to work out the glorious destiny of this great commonwealth. Just such men as make up the cadet corps of OAC are the kind that will make their impress felt in the years to come. Young men of keen intellect, clean habits, high aims and practical knowledge, all gained by the truly beneficial course of study carried out at this great institu tion. . - There need be no fear that Oregon will not maintain its high : Si. -Mm t&m Bw$ Wti rik-U -p -:li$tfersC. position in the roll of states so long as it can have the aid of that class of young men who make up the student body of OAC. Big Meeting Tomorrow will be the day for the big horticultural and agricultural meet ing at the court house and every person in Benton county should make it their especial business to be present. The program is one of the best that has ever been planned, the speakers all being able and experienced in the sub jects assigned to them, and. there will be an opportunity afforded for acquir- I ipg practical information on the ques j tions which most affect the fruit grower, the farmer and the house- keeper, that could not be obtained from any other source. With such eminent speakers as W. K. Newell, president , of the State Board of Horticulture; H. M.-: Wil liamson, secretary of the same board;' W. J. Kerr, president OAC; Professors ; A. B. Cordley and G. I. Lewis and j Miss Juliet Greer, of OAC and Walter S. Brown, who selected Benton county j in preference to all other sections of j Oregon for fruit growing, there is cer tain to be some helpful talks given. ' Let everybody turn out and show their appreciation of the good work that the Commercial Club, the Benton County Court and Booster Waggoner and fruit inspector Roberts are taking to bring this section to the front. Good News From Seattle. Realizing that Seattle's reputation for hospitality is at stake, the Restaur ant Keepers' Association, which repre sents 52 of the largest cafes in the city, has pledged itself not to raise the prices of meals during the period that ' the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition is in progress. The association has already signed an agreement with the Cooks and Waiters, the Waitresses and Bar tenders' unions to maintain the present scale of wages until June 1, 1910. With this agreement, the restaurant men know in advance that wages for help will not be increased during the Exposi tion season. This action of the restaur ant keepers will be glad news to per sons contemplating visiting Seattle dur ing the fair. . - - Button Making at Home. Corvallis has one industry that is not generally found outside the larger cities and it is proving to be a great conveni ence, especially to the ladies. This new enterprise is the manufacture of covered buttons and it is in operation at J. M. Nolan & Son's store. The capacity of the machine is practically unlimited, but the output now for local trade is about six gross of buttons per day. '.'Shorty" Gagnon is the operator and he is timing out buttons that will compare favorably wi-h the best made in the east. There will be splendid racing tomor row afternoon at the Corvallis Driving Park'. . Every lover of the sport should turn out. . AGRICULTURAL HALL, ONE OF THE M TELEPHONE HECTOR Subscribers Should Call by Numbers to Get Prompt Service Call by number. The Telephone Company has a new direc- j tory out and the same is now being dis- j tributed.. The directory contains a lfst ' of all the towns in Oregon, Washing ton and British Columbia which may be reached over the Independent Tele phone line, and this list is supplemented bv a map of the Northwest coast with the line marked thereon. j The directory proper is. a complete list of all the subscribers of the Inde- pendent Telephone Company in Benton and Linn counties alphabetically ar- ranged, and in addition there is a busi-; ness directory classified accordine: to the different businesses. Among other plaoes. showing a cor- siderable list of users of the Indepen-; dent Telenhones besides Corvallis and Albany is Alsea.' Bellf ountain, Leba-i non, Brownsville, Crawford svil e, Plain-; t J1 A view, Sweet Home, Scio, Tangent and Peoria. Since the directory was issued sev eral new names have been added and these are on a supplemental list in the front part of the directory. It is the intention of the company to furnish their subscribers each month with a supplemental list showing new telephones that have been added, and also changes that have been made since the last directory was issued. In this way the subscriber's directory will be kept up to date. The' 'company espec- ially requests that their patrons call by number instead of by name. This is not so much on account of the com pany's convenience as it is for the con venience of the subscriber and his more prompt aud . efficient service. When parties are called by names, it is fre quently necessary for the operator to consult her directory requiring a cer tain amount of time and thus delaying the call. If subscribers will use the numbers, this will be avoided and the 4fU 3 w DRILL SCENE, O. A. C. CAMPUS HANDSOME BUILDINGS AT O. A. C. operator can get parties much more quickly. , . The directory also contains an invi tation to all patrons to visit the office ,any day from two to five o'clock in the afternoon to witness the operation of I the new and up to date exchange which ; is complete with all modern appoint Independent T n J nva Local Manager. Students Have Friendly Feeling The student body of the U. of O. have shown their friendly feeling to- ward OAC in the public expression of their opposition to the referendum that is proposed against the college here, The full text of their resolutions unanimously passed Wednesday are as follows, "Whereas, A referendum move ment has been instituted against the last legislative appropriation for the Oregon Agricultural College; and r t t' w. "1 1 -Wo-""' " 5. S. iZ.i-. CRACK COMPANY OF O. A. C.

(Signed) "T. R. Townsend, '.'Student Body President." Ready to Welcome Band.. The O. A. C. Military Band will find a warm welcome awaiting its appear- : ance in all the valley towns.v ' Albany is making preparations for a big reception on May 10, and Hillsboro will turn out May 12. Other places will be included in the tour and they will be given a rich musical treat. R. E. Lafferty, . representing J. A. Folger & Co., of SanFrancisco, called on. the trade Friday and will be an over Sunday visitor with his father and brothers. - P6HTUSD ROSE FESTIVAL Big Show Will be Held on Lewis and Clark Fair Grounds. A contract has- been closed for the lease of the California building on the Lewis and Clark Fair grounds for the next annual floral exposition of the Portland Rose Society. The building is in the form of a Greek cross, 200x200 feet, and contains more display space than either the Forestry or Oriental buildings, which have been used in the past. ' ' Mrs. John W. Minto, president of the Rose Society, expects the entire avail able space will be taken up by local ex hibitors. Request will be made of the city au thorities to keep the Forestry building open both days and nights during the Rose Show, as an easy means of access to the California pavilion. According to figures being prepared by the various committees of the Rose Society, there should be no fewer than 4 W,- .4,A--a 1 "41 2o00 individual exmoits at the coming show. This is estimated from requisi tions for space coming in. The exhibition space will be a frifla more than 20,000 square feet, or t!out half rf sc'; l rcses. Districting of the citj ic? guwhtrlny exhibits has been undertaken and community .rk in iv-ju ;ing interest in all parts oi' the city will be started directly. Mcumouth Defeats Amendment. At a special election held in Mon mouth Wednesday the proposed amend ment to the charter, which would grant a large? bond issue for municipal light or water plant, was defeated, and at the same time an amendment was adopted providing for retaining the road polltax for use on the town streets. The committee having in charge the raising of funds for the entertainment of the Oregon State Encampment, G. A. R., in Corvallis, , June 2, 3, 4, was out yesterday securing subscriptions, and met with the most gratifying suc cess. Everybody in the city should contribute to 1;his fund so that the hos pitality extended here to the veterans may be talked about for years to come. Don't forget the open air concert and ice cream social to be given this even ing on the court house lawn by the Cor vallis marine band. The boys will ap pear for the first time in their new uni forms. , Edison records for May now on sale at Graham & Wells. 4 27 4t PHYSICIANS G. R FARRA, M. D , PHYSICIAN ATSD Surgeon.
