Corvallis Times. Official Paper of Benton Uonntr. CORVAXLIS, OREGON, MAT 80, 1903. TO MEET SATURDAY. and Athletes of two Colleges 0. A. C - State University. W Next Saturday afternoon will be a day of deep interest . to ; tbe stu dents of itwoj of Oregon's biggest educational institutions. It will also interest lovers of amateur ath letics all over Oregon and the INorthwest. It is the date for the track and field meet between the teams of OAC and the state univer sity. It has been made more inter esting by the overwhelming defeats OAC men have administered to all teams they have met this - season. These victories have given the OAC track team the best reputation it has ever enjoyed. The state uni versity has always been a victor in recent years, and the appearance of a team that promises to give the university players a hard struggle makes tbe occasion of double inter est. Concerning the meet the Ore gonian of Monday has the follow- ing: ' , : ' What promises to be one ot the most interesting: "athletic events of the year will be the dual field meet between the University of Oregon and the Oregon Agricultural Col lege, which is scheduled for next Saturday afternoon at Corvallis. As there is no end of fiendly ' ri valry between these institutions, and as the teams are evenly match ed, the contest will doubtless prove interesting. If the athletes are in good trim and the weather is fair, it is not unlikely that some state or Northwest record will be smash ed, for there are some' speedy, men on the contesting teams. W, O. Trine, who trained the victorious team of the State ' Varsity for five years, has been with the Agricult ural College since April i, and the results of the meets already held show that be has a strong team in the field. ' In the early meets of the season the Corvallis aggregation won from Dallas and McMinnville Colleges hy overwhelming scores. Then me the contest with the Pacific iversity, which the 'Agrics" also won, the score being 80 to . 46. These meets have seasoned tie Agricultural College men, and have ' put them on their mettle for the championship meet with the .State University team, the strength of which is a mere matter of . conjec ture. The 'varsity men have held no meets this year and when they appear at Corvallis next Saturday, many of them will be representing their college for the first time. There are a few seasoned men on the Eugene-team, however, and it is safe to say tlat Trainer Ray wSU have tbe whole bunch in good conditions .The 'varsity team as a whole is probably more experienced than the ''farmer" aggregatiog, al though the latter is more advanced in the work at the present season The Agricultural College men will have considerable advantage in bvl ding the meet on their own grounds, and they will also - out number their- opponents; whose ELECTED CITY OFFICERS. Coryallisites Did Was a Quiet Con-:- test Happened Monday. Corvallisites elected city officers Monday. ' The contest involved the selection of a mayor for a term of two years, a police judge, - chief of DOlice and treasurer for terms of one year each, two councilmen each i n the upper and middle wards, one in each for a term of three aad one in each for a term of two years, and a councilman in th$ lower ward to serve a full term of three years. For three of the positions there were ho opposing candidates, and the nominee for each was el ected without opposition. These were the mayor, the, police judge and treasurer.' " For the office of chief of police there was.' a sharp contest, and considerable skirmishing done ' by each of the candidates and his friends. The candidates were, W. G. Lane and J, M. Howard. Samuel King, earlier in tbe fight was a candidate for the place but withdrew from the race last week. The contest resulted in tbe elec tion of Mr Lane. .. ' ' I For councilman, there were two tickets of candidates in the field in each ward, each in a measure re presenting certain views with res pect to regulation of the liquor traffic. Practically all in the field are supposed to have favored en forcement of - all existing laws, while it was urged that with; some of tbe others that they might favor additional restrictive legislation. Lines' were not however, drawn severely on this issue, as is shown by the fact that an equal number of councilmen were elected by each side The activity at the polls was infinitesimal compared with that on former occasions of the kind. 1 The result of the election was as foUows: for mayor, B. F. Irvine; police judge, E. P. Greffoz; chief of police, W. G. :Lane; treasurer, William . McLagan; 1 councilmen. ' 1 st ward, Punderson Avery and Taylor Porter; 2nd ward, Monrce Cameron and James Tayjor: 3rd ward, Robert. H. Colbert. In wards where two councilmen were elected lots will be drawn to determine which shall have' the three and which the two years terms.' SIX OF THEM. CAPTAIN HARDEN HERE.

The forenoon is to be taken up with a -literary and musical- programme.- A -basket dinner is to be a feature of the day. Games, races, contests and various other sports will occupy the after noon. A great time is anticipated.' Orators From Three States In College Armory Next Friday Night. The contest v which - will take place in the college Armory next Friday evening has some features which are especially worthy of note, from a .literary, and oratorical standpoint. No other association in America has ever conducted such extensive oratorical contests as the National Inter-Collegiate- Prohibi tion Association ; no other has of fered such large prizes; consequent ly it has attracted the best talent in the colleges and great Univer sities. Scarcely a large university in the land but that has furnished representatives, As far back as 1894 a contest was held on Staten Island where thesstate winners of thirteen different - states met and competed for first honors. Since then not a year has passed but that scores of colleges have held Prohi bition oratoiical contests to be fol lowed by state and interstate con tests.. . ".. This vear. Corvallis happens to be the place where the' state win ners of the coast will meet, Stud ents along the coast have ,been looking throughout the year to the coming of this event. . Sixty five wrote orations, their sole object being to be one of the speakers . of next Friday evening. , Attention is now being called to the fact that nowhere in the United States is so much interest taken in oratorv as is in the Western and Middle states. And from this de velops the fact that the leaders in great movements of today are com ing from the West. ; So next Fri day evening the people who listen to the orators,, will doubtless hear better productions and hear orators whp have gained the honor to re present their respective states , after severe competition than if they were listening a contest pf similar . char acter in New, York or. Massachus etts. . v " ; . , . . The convention t which occurs Friday afternoon from 2:30 to 5:30 and Saturday morning from 8:30 to 10530 will be taken up by speeches from the brainiest young men of the coast whose names have been men tioned in previous articles. No one can afford to r miss the contest or convention! , : Notice to Contractors. t ,Bids will be received until the 31st day of May 1903 for the construction of a sewer through the , alley in' block 5 old town of Corvallis according to the plans and specifications now on file.

The presi dent passes there about eight a. m. and his train is expected to stop for five minutes. Others will go to Salem, expecting to return home by the regular S P and C & E afternoon trains. A BIG DAY. That is What the Circus Made' for Corvallis. i A mass of men, Women and chil dren thronged tbe streets of Cor vallis Saturday afternoon. All the feed stables of the town were filled and the adjacent streets were almost blocked with wagons, carriages and buggies. People came out of tbe remotest parts of the Coast moun- tains and valleys, and it was really a big; day in Corvallis. All these people came to see the Norris & Rowe's tented show?, comprising a great variety of entertainment. The parade formed at 11 o'clock and it was in no way disappointing. At the afternoon performance there was not standing capacity for the attendance, and the show was well patronized in the evening. Norris & Rowe give a clean entertainment and instructive show; and do what they advertise. The elephant stood on his head, the seals performed some, wonderful . i k", tnd the ponies, monkeys, dogs and other animals acquitted themselves to the satisfaction of all.- About Quality. Occasionally we hear people say that pricts seem higher on certain goods. While this may seem to be a fact to casual observer?, everyone should remember that the standard of. quality has been-raised all oyer the country. The object of these manufacturers has-'not been to'pro duce goods at lower price?, bnt to put cut better goods at. the fame prices if possible.
