But, on the other hand", it is Jatally true, as the bank books at the conit house show, that Mr Wilson received his salary up to the very hour that the bank closed, and that the said salary came out of the money of de positors, forthere was not and - had not been for a long time, any other than depositors money in th9 Insti tution. Corvallis was full of Odd Fellows at the noon hour yesterday. They came via the O & E from Newport where thy have been attending the various grand lodges of the order, and took the Westside for Portland and other points.

Preparations are now in progress, and this picnic is to be a big .affair. The programme has been arranged, but the purpose is to have It complete and interesting. Remember the date. News was - received yesterday that the Fischer Flouring mills in this city had just been awarded a brocze medal at the Charleston Exposition for wheat flour. The mills or the en tire country were in competition. The medal is the third the local establish ment has received in recent years, " -r-News received- in Corvallis by Warren Hartley is to the effect that his. father has made a fine strike on a claim just opened up in the Bohemia mines. The vein of ore is three feet and assays, give returns of $245.61 per ton. The claim is one of five lo cated by Mr Hartley tor a number of Corvallis people, and is said to be me or tne best locations in . uonemta district. Mr Woodcock's Gazette raises the question that because Mr Wat- ters has had office he ought not to be elected again. It a farmer has a first class farm hand, does he turn him off and hire a green band? Did -anybody ever hear of a business man who dis charged a good clerk to hire one. that bad everything to learn? In what respect does county business differ from private business? Is not special training as desirable for county busi ness as private business or farm busi ness? Is It likely that the manage ment of the county business could be better done by a raw hahd than by a trained one? Is not the very argu ment that Mr Woodcock s paper uses against him the very reason why Mr Watters should be elected. A republican drummer . was in town yesterday. Like most all drum mers, he is an ardent Chamberlain man; "They cannot beat George Chambeilain." hesaid,'In every office he has ever filled he has performed his duties so faithfully and so wholly in the interest of the people that bis public record cannot be attacked. Everybody Knows this. Besides, all men who , ever knew him are Mr Chamberlain's friends, and all of them are worning - witn tremendous energy ror nis election. It Is probable that If Mr Furnish had not gone on the campaign that he would have been gov ernor. But bis campaign la fatal to his chances. Every man who meets him is dissapointed. They see that he is a very ordinary man, His cold ness repels them. His attempts' at epeechmaking lose him many a vote, for men reason that, it he has Ideas to fit him for governor, he could at least say something. It Is true that Mr Furnish has a Bar'l, but it is the history of Oregon that men who run for governor- with a Bar'l as their only assets, do not get elected." This drummer has just returned from Wasco county and he said that re publicans admitted up there that Chamberlain was likely to carry that county. Prohibition Cickct Senator P. P. Morgan, Corvallis.

The aunual catalogue at OAC is about completed. The publica tion brings out several interesting facts: , The total enrollment for the cur rent year is 488, showing a health ful growth of fifty-two ' students since last June. Of " this number 321 are males, indicating a propor tion of nearly two to one on the basis of sex. The department, of music : including voice .. culture, piano-forte, and harmony has an enrollment of 94 for the first year, however all but 14 of this number are pursuing studies in other de partments. The miniug - depart ment instituted last year is steadily growing, and the . bookkeeping de partment has for the first year an enrollment of 58. . This course has met with such favor that it has been extended to four years, in coporating more . English,: indus trials, and other studies given by various agricultural colleges that have studied the needs of practical men and women, and the name of the course . has . been " changed to Literary Commerce. The courses of study, which .practically remain ed unchanged, have been well pa tronized throughout the year.

Does this training unfit & farmer's boy or a mechanic's boy for the farm or the workshop. A careful examination of the records has - resulted in these figures: . ; Students irom the iarm, 71 per cent; from the homes of mechanics and day laborers 10 per cent; from homes of merchants and capitalists 8 per cent; from homes reoresent ing professions and other pursuits, 1 1 per cent. - Exclusive of the graduates, who form but small per centage of ; ; the college family, about 80 per cent of the , students return to the workshop and the farm. ; ; .

The committee on matriculation of students has found that a large percentage of candidates for ad mission holding teachers' certifica tes have stood well in their classes. Upon the whole the teacher's cer tificates has proved one of the safest tests of a candidate's 7 attainments hence in recognitinn' of the, thor? oughness required at the regular county teachers' examination, the .following regulation - has been adopted to accommodate students living at a distance: "The holder of .a certificate or statement signed by the county school board of examiners certify- ing that at the regular- teachers' examination be received a satis factory grade to entitle him ' to a teacher's certificate, may be ad-mitted-to all freshman classes " ex cept algebra. He may , remove such deficiency in algebra upon furnishing the president with a sat isfactory statement from a teacher or school superintendent that the applicant is familar with the subject of algebra to quadratics, or upon the arrival at the college he make good such deficiency by examina tion or class recitation." WITH A DONKEY ENGINE Big Logs Yanked From the Shore Into the Willamette at Corvallis. Corvallisites have been interested the past few days in .watching log ging operations , across the river at Corvallis. The thing that most ly attracted attention was a big donkey engine that with .tremend uous power wrested great logs from their resting place several hundred yards from shore and drew - them swiftly along . and finally left them on the river bank" ready to be rolled into the river. - - - ' The operations are by the Ore gon Logging Company. The logs are out of big balm trees ; that were cut along the bank of the Willamette opposite Corvallis, three or four weeks ago. They are for a basket manufacturing establish ment located at Fort Johnson, a town several miles below Portland. The donkey engine, which is the business end of the operations is on the east bank of the river. Under and belted to it are two huge skids, many feet long and two feet in diameter. . Sometimes it is .neces sary to move the engine, and it is then that the skids perform an im portant function. For this moving purpose, a big cable is fastened to a neighboring tree. . The other end works over a huge pulley on the engine. Steam is then turned on and the big engine pulls itself to the spot where the men who are conducting the operations want it, But the interesting sight in' the operations is when this powerful machine handles the big logs. The latter ranee from 16 to 24 feet in length and run as high as four feet in diameter. Some of them have a lumber content of 3,000 feet Some are 400 to 500 yards distant from the river bank.' They are drawn to the river by a seven-eights wire cable 1,800 feet long. When the cable is attached, the engine is put in motions and - the great log - at once begins to move. Its progress is about as fast as an ordinary team walks. No matter what ob stacle is in the way, the journey to the water s edge continues. Some times a furrow is digged m the surface of the ground deep enough and big enough : to comfortably bury a dozen men. " If a tree top or Hi stump is m the way it is brush ed aside. Nothing delays, nothing impedes. The log is finally de posited on the river bank. There iron dogs are put in it, and again the iorce or the engine is applied, and it rolls into the river, where in due time all will be snugly formed into a . raft to be taken down the river. - - ' ' The engine is a sixty horse with double cylinder. Of the logs. 125,000 feet "were cut . and are to be rafted at Corvallis. When not in use the donkey en gine occupies a biar barge, sixty feet long, on which there is a house with quarters for the logging crew Sewing Machines Repaired x.yjair Austin, tne wnite sewing macmne -agent, Dy noo tying Stewart & Sox, Abany, Oregon.
