Some- of the friends of Senator Daly, surveyor general elect, pre sented him with a handsome tes timonial Monday evening. It was a fine gold-headed cane, 'and it3 be stowal was in token of the esteem tin which Senator Daly is held in this community, and in apprecia- tion of his services in a public '.'ca pacity. :"- 'i The presentation happened in Mr. Dalv's office, and was partici- Dated in bv a dozen or fifteen of his friends ; Senator Daly had been out to dinner at the home of a friend. During his absence the surprise party gained access to his office by means of a pass key. When he arrived and opened the door, the office light, which had been burning low, was turned on. and the astonished senator, found himself face to face with as- many guests as his office could well ac commodate, all ranged around the room. Surprises are not al ways genuine, but this one was completely so. In fact, he was so wholly unprepared for what was before him that it was several moments before he could gather himself together enough to con vince himself that he was neither officiating deacon at an orthodox prayer meeting or bell wether in a woman's rights convention. After an interchange of greetings, how ever, equilibrium was partially restored, when E- R. Lake, form ally addressing Senator Daly began an explanation of the purpose of the visit. The early future was to witness the latter's departure to another field of labor and these friends felt there was due some ac knowledgment of his worth and in tegrity. In words of kindliest in terest and sympathy, the speaker paid a graceful tribute to the talents and probity of the senator, and asked acceptance of the cane as a grateful remembrance of earnest friends, In language made doubly elo quent by depth of feeling, Mr. Daly accepted the gift and assured his guests of the deep pleasure af forded by the incident. He re ferred to the honors his county and friends had conferred on him and expressed regret that the exigencies of the present were to place him temporarily among others. In con clusion he declared that- wherever he should be. Benton county was to be his home, and that to Benton he would certainly return as soon as .contemplated engagements should terminate. - The incident was one long to be remembered by Senator Daly, and all others who witnessed it, for the bestowal of the gift was by friends whose impulses are freighted with unquestioned sincerity. OVER FIVE HUNDRED. Enrollment ' at OAC far Past all Former Records Third Term Begun. " The third term of the college year began at OAC Monday. Reg istration for the term began in the morning, and at evening 305 stu dents had their names on the roster. The registrars office presented a busy, scene throughout the day. Of strong effect in showings the' per fect organization that exists at the institution is that matriculation, which formerly accupied a number of days, is now practically accom plished in one or two days. : Stu dents enter promptly at term time and are at work almost immediately.' Recitations began yesterday, and today everything about the insti tution will be clockwork. - ' The enrollment up to Monday night was 515, as against 488, which was the total at the .; end of last year. It is expected that the grand total will be about 520 bv the end of the current week. The excess is more than thirty above last year's figures. A fact somewhat out of the usual is that of ths total enrollment of 515 up to last Monday night, but 155. or much less than one-third are of the gentler sex. The number of bovs enrolled is 360. The figures do not include me students who matriculated m the Farmers Short Course. .

The political sensation of the week is the broken pledge that ex Senator Simon lays at the door of President Roosevelt. - Last year, it seems that the president promised at the request of Simon, to appoints George A. Steel to a place in the Oregon City land office. February 17th, of that - year, the president wrote Mr, Simon as follows; , "I shall take things a little into my own hands." Senator Mitchell still insists on his objections to Mr Steel; but I have told him that I shall overrule him on this point, and that I shall send in Steel after Bibie has been sent in. 1 1 think Bibie should go in first. As you know, I signed his . commission some time ago, and have been hold -ing it up ever since. It is very clear that his name should go in at some little interval before , Steel's but within three or four- weeks, I shall send in Steel's. I do hope that on the next appointments, you two can goet together." Mr. Simon has given the letter to the press for publication, and it ap peared in Monday's Oregonian. He accompanies it with remarks about the president s "piecrust promises intimating that since Dresser, ap pointed to the coveted place, prom ised to vote for Corbett but did not and that Roosevelt promised to ap point Steel, but didnt, that they are not unlike in kind.
