Taylor, of Rock Island, 111., arrived in Corvallis last week to look over Benton county with a view of investing here, he sent back to his wife a copy of R. F. Baker's "Oregon Pros Dfector." marking the description of the J. W. Foster farm as one of the properties he would look at. Yesterday he received a telegram from Mrs. Tay lor which read: ' "Get Foster place, Don't delay." "As he had, the day be fore, bought this same fine farm for $72,500, he thinks it quite a coincidence that his wife should have decided upon that particular property also, and is quite satisfied that he has done just right in buying the place.

BELL'S NEAT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT 0PULAR MINISTER THANKS THE JUNIOR CLASS OF 0AC ' PPREGIATES THE DEDICATION He Compliments the Students for Their Token of Regard and Praises the Ex cellent Work of the '10 Orange in an Open Letter to the Class Rev. J. R. N. Bell, to whom the 'Ju- nior Class of OAC dedicated the '10 the the Orange, writes an open letter to students gracefully acknowledging honor and thanking them for this token of their regard. This letter was published in the Barometer and is as follows : "To the Junior Class 1 of OAC, 1910 would say: My dear young Friends: "When I was made the recipient of 'The Orange 1910" with your compli ments, and on the dedicatory page read these words, 'This book is dedi cated to Dr. J. R. N. Bell, who has at heart the interests of evary student ac tivity.', I assure you a thrill of unex pected pleasure went to the inermost soul, of my 'being, and I fully, realize, that any words of heartfelt appreciation which I can command are incomparable to tne joy 1 experienced on receiving such a token of regard from you to one who feels so keenly his unworthiness, "I received this splendid tribute -of your optimistic trend of thought . and enterprise as college students, evincing the fact that you believe in the dynamics of an, inspiring' optimism, wbicn is not a chance purpose., . but an embodied will, determinate and which will, insure you success in any calling in life which you may select. As Priscilla Le6nard well says, 'He believes in himself and other people. He casts himself into these beliefs as a swimmer trusts himself to the water boldly, knowing that he cannot sink as long as he keeps on swimming.' The pessimist shivers before what happens; or what is likely to happen. ; "All hail to the Juniors of OAC! My interest in your college has been con stant and unwavering for a period of thirty-five years, being connected with the same directly and indirectly all this time, v My interest increases in you with each succeeding year, and having known personally every president from W. A. Finley to W. J, Kerr, and most of the entire-faculty during that. time. I have always cherished an abiding con cern lor every student, from the youngest matriculate to1 the ; gravest Senior. . "The Orange reflects hard work, dili gent study, and analytic reduction. The press work is superb, photos most excellent, .and the book as a whole, reflects superior merit. And now Ju niors of 1910 of OAC I would say I shall never forget this distinguished mark Of honor conferred, and in your pursuit of knowledge in the class room I shall ever be ready to -extend a helping hand, and in your athletics I shall wave the magic wand as your ' 'mascot' ' until victory shall perch upon your banners, and as the years may come and go, I shall ever hold you in grateful , remember- ance. ' ' "And while we remain in touch with each other in the college, or on the campus in this beautiful city, within the embowered retreats on the banks of the far-famed Willamette, where it flows on its smooth winding way to the sea, and as you young ladies and gentle men stroll along its shores in summer days, when cupid darts his arrows and you are seeking to find the altar where Hymen presides, I will then tender you my professional services in my happiest style. Again thanking you most sin cerely for the special regard you : have bestowed upon me, which makes life worth living. I beg to remain, . y " Yours very truly, -V .- J. R. N. Bell. , Motto: Mas vale saber que haber." Letter List.

Each time we have gone up against the best ability of two colleges that bore very eff ecient English courses and a greater number of years training. So if we have lost, we know we have Ipst to good men, and if we . have won it is over worthy opponents. This year Mr. P. H. Cale represented our Institution and won second place. First -honors were won by Mr. Ver non W. Cooke, of Whitman College. His subject was "International Peace; power greater than force. ". His deliv ery was strong and his excellent English training gave him first place. .; ' Mr. Cale's subject was "America's Call. Report comes ; that he did the e$ he has ever done in a contest '. and weKiiuw uiai. iagooa, ana ieei sure tnat the college was well represented. Third place was won by Mr. Thomp son of W. S. C. ' . ' The visiting delegation were well en tertained at Whitman College. They are a loyal hunch there and are good entertainers and all have gone awav with a fine impression of the college and the feeling that we have friends there. - At a meeting held after the contest Mr. C, L.

The largest pool of Willamette Valley wool made up this season, and one of the largest lots ever pooled west of the Cascade : Mountains, was offered for sale at auction at Corvallis and then withdrawn the bids being rejected by the pool managers. v The Corvallis pool . contained 10,500 fleeces, aggregating . 100,000 pounds. The quality of the wool in the pool was good all around, and some of the fleeces were exceptionally fine. There was a large attendance present and the bids submitted were 25 1-8 cents, 25 1-4, cents, 25 1-2 cents and 25 5-8 cents. The highest bid was made by A. Wilhelm & Son, of Monroe. The manager, how ever, decided not to accept any of the bids, and the pool was broken up. Afterward some of the individual clips were sold to the buyers present and all the wool will probably be disposed of in a few days. A wool pool of between 3000 and 4000 fleeces has been made up at Scio and will be offered to the highest bidder Saturday. ' Several other, small pools. have been made up in the state. One of the largest private wool sales in Eastern Oregon this year has just been closed at Echo. The Scouring Mills Association of that place has sold to J. P. Dufur, representing the Rhode Island Worsted Mills, 255,000 pounds at a little less than 20 cents. Senior Day. At 2:30 p. m. next, Sunday there will be a big meeting conducted by the Sen - iors.

COUNTING JHEIR CHICKENS Great Expectations Expressed by U. of 0. Team for Friday. The Eugene Guard says that Oregon men will strive next Friday to make 90 points in the annual dual meet with OAC and to give the Farmers the worst . beating that they have had for years. Press notices from Corvallis indicate that either the track management or the' correspondents are egotistic, but Portland critics oelieve Oregon will win. - -' - i- "Bill" Hay ward says in the Midnight Doughnut: " ''OAC is due for an awfifl drubbing next- Friday. We should walkaway, with the meet by an overwhelming score. With Huston, Davis, McDaniel, Reid, Lowell, Johns, Kellogg, Mclntyre, .' Means, Hawkins, Moon and the rest of f ! our boys, in good shape, I can see no other outcome to the event. When it is in condition the OAC track is as good as any in the Northwest, and I would not be surprised to see a few records grazed or broken.
