J3 G or vail is Times. Official Paper ot Beaton County. . BOXTAIXJB, OKKttON. MAY 87, 1903. NAUGHT SPAKE HE. The president has come and gone. ZXcMig before he reached Oregon it rs promised that he would, while ia the state, call upon republican ters to support Mr. Hermann for cotigress.That immense pressure was brought on him by the party managers to make such an expres sion, is well known. But he came nd went . without uttering one word in defense or indorsement of TSfr. Hermann's candidacy. It was impossible for the pres ident to indorse Mr. . Hermann, It was the president who demand d of the Oregon delegation the resignation of Mr. Hermann on the . occasion of their visit to him at the TKThite House before the spring elections last year. They pleaded ' -with him to allow Mr. Hermann to remain in his office as commis sioner until after the Oregon el ections; and it was Mr. Roosevelt ; that finally consented to allow Mr. Hermann to remain in hia position until July ist of that year. After an T examination of the Umber land operations in Oregon, Special Commissioner Green made a report to Secretary Hitchcock, and it was because of the inform ation contained in this report that the president insisted most vehem ently on Mr. Hermann's resigna tion. - The substance of that , re port was of such character as to make it impossible for the presi- ' -dent while in Oregon to ask ' re publicans to support Mr. Hermann. The very fact that Mr. Hermann 'though repeatedly urged and chal ' lenged to do so, has not con sented '' to - have this .. report made public, proves that the in formation it sets out is of damaging "character. If it were not, its con tents Would have been given to the newspapers long ago, .. The fact 6iat this report does not appear tells the story certainly and signi iicantly of why the president did not, as he passed through ; Oregon, speak even one little word, in--.be- half of Mr. Hermann. He did not dp it, because he could not. He is the man who required the dismis sal of Mr. Hermann, and any plea for the latter' s return would have been a direct condemnation of ; Sec retary Hitchcock, and a slap at .his own administration. X If there were a way to ascertainV the innermost desire pf the president, it would probably be found that he hopes searnes'tly that Mr. Hermann may be defeated. If this be 1 not true, -why ' did he not come out. boldly ,xn& request Hermann's re-election? "Buy your W. O. W.' Carnival Buits and furnishings at Nolan & Callahan's.

The red nose shall not illuminate the politician's complexion. The ornament is too costly. One hun dred forty seven college associations in America have said so; and among the list is the student prohi bition movement at O AC. They're for fresh air and against all. impure drinks. In this movement, Oregon" Cal ifornia and Washington were fairly represented in the Conference at chapel last Friday afternoon. The exercises were under the direction of Virgil E. Henshawi traveling secretary of the national intercolle giate prohibition association, who was ably assisted by Miss Mary Sutherland, state secretary of the intercollegiate movement of Oregon. During the afternoon addresses were made by President Emerick, of Philomath College; Rev. Phelps. of Portland; student Millican, of the University of Washington who is well known in football circles; and by Chester P. Gates, of Dallas College. The tend of the argument set forth was that men should be educated to abstain from all things injurious; and that educated men should lead in this effort. There was nothing of the hair-brained order, which advocates hatchets, . broomsticks, crusades and other irregularities; but throughout, the discussions appealed to the higher and nobler instincts. . - At 8 o'clock in the. evening, about 800 seats were taken in the Armory, where the musical pro gram was furnished by Miss Edith Gibson, with an instrumental, and by Otto Herse and Miss Mabel Cronise , with delightful solos. There were five contestants and two cash prizes The first of which was $75, and the second $25. W. ' Clif ford Smith, of Berkeley, took first prize; and Dan A. Polingj of Dallas took second' with J. W. Iough of of the University of Washington, as close contestant for second hon ors. Aubrey Kramien, of Newberg, was fourth in the race; and C. JN. Bowman, of Whitworth college, was a strong fifth man. Smith was the most mature and finished spea ker. Poling the most earnest , and impassioned, while Lough the most pleasing and persuasive. V: ' This is the first interesting con test, of any character held at the OAC, andits high character will appeal to young men and women in the college to aspire to oratorical excellence. While financially the undertaking was very successful; in an intellectual and esthetic way, the influence of the first intercolle giate meet at the O A.C will long be felt in college circles, where strictly hygienic living, is the motto of many a student who is destined to lm-1 prove the farm the workshop and the home. . - . 5 A WORLD-BEATER. A Two-Year-Old Colt Weighing Near ly a Ton, and 18 Hands High. Oregon has a large share of ' the glory of raising the best horses produced in America. From this state has gone out many great run ning animals; many : great trotters and pacers, many fine carriage and other driving horses. Oregon has been a great producer of splendid eeneral curoose horses, and is a rich field" for buyers of draft horses It is believed that she can claim the largest two-year-old colt on earth. This colt is a Benton county product and is the property of Sol King. Monday Mr.' King brought the filly to town and had her weighed, and five days after, she was two years old she tipped the beam at 1.740. The animal is 18 hands high and is beautifully formed. She is now oerfectlv proportioned. The sire of this remarkable animal is Can nock Oak, and the sire, of the colt's -dam was Bobby Burns The nlly embodies three"strains of the large breeds. There seems to be no doubt that in time the animal will weigh 2500 pounds if not more.

Dated, Corvallis Or. May 11, I903; -- THOMAS A. JONES, - " Surveyor. IN SOUTHERN CHURCH. By Southern Pastor Many Were There The ' Memorial Sermon. 1 The annual memorial sermon was delivered belore the Grand Army' veterans in the M. E. Church south last Sunday morning.It was a plea for a good citizenship'and an uni ted country. The text was "Estab lish thou the work of mine hands." The speaker was Rev. John Reeves and the auditors were G. AR. vet erans, members of the Relief Corps members of the church congrega tion, and many citizens. The. au ditorium was filled with people. It was decorated elaborately with fes tosned and unfurled flags. " . The occasion is perhaps one - of the first in which a memorial ' ser mon, a - Northern : institution has been delivered in a church nee known as a southern church and by a Southern preacher. - This fact was acknowledged and applau ded by the speaker. He declared that he felt honored and that "his church felt honored by the invita tion for him to make the address in his own church. He added that the Post, in laying aside prejudices and extending the invitation had set an example of breadth of view that was equally or even more hon orable to themselves and their I or ganization. The minister declared that in the removal of slavery, the war, costly as it was, has brought beneficent results. For these he lauded, the work of the veterans, and urged them and others to bend their - re served energies now in the solution of great moral questions, that are upon the land. The sermon has been the subject of much favorable comment. The whole incident is a pretty illustra tion of the new and irrevocable re union of the Blue and the Gray. Social Notes. , - r, -.
