Oorvallis Times. . rr OBelal Payer of Bentea Cenntr. VOBYAXXIB, OKEGOK, FEB. 7, 104. me omciai raviiaiura , um uccu received, for Benton county to make an exhibit at the Lewis and Clark Fair. The response ought to be the very best display of prod nets that the intelligence and re sources of the county can put for ward. The occasion will be the greatest of all opportunities for ma terial good to result from. an exhib it of products. Unlike the case of most exhibits,, such display as Ben ton may make at the exposition will be looked at, by many an actual homeseeker, who will be materially influenced by what he sees therein, to come to the county, or not to come. Any investment the county may make in the direction will be like buying pure gold, save that it will come back, not one, but many fold. It will be an opportunity that it would not only be folly, but criminal folly to fail to take ad vantage of. Do our people want more property-owners to help pay taxes, more farm owners to help build roads, more citizens to make a bigger, richer and better Benton? Then, act. THEY MUST NOT DRINK. Dor use Tobacco How to be Healthy Trine to his men. r In the latest issue of the OAC Barometer, there is an article by W O. Trine that should disarm all those who offer objections to college athletics. In it, Mr. Trine tells his men what rules to follow in order to secure the best results. He tells them first of all, to eschew all dissi pation and says that "dissipation cannot be mixed in the making of an athlete." He tells -them what foods to avoid and what to eat, lay ing down rules in this particular .-that appeal to the ' good sense, to science and to well known- facts. other intoxicating drinks must not be used and continues,, "use of tobacco in-any form isdeterimental, more particularly so, is the deadly cigarette." Sleep must be regular with an inviolable -rule of "early to bed and early to rise," After de scribing the method and importance of light early morning exercise, and decrying scuffling and other violent forms of exercise, the article conclu des: "Be on time regularly for in structions on track and field, and you will not only benefit yourself physically but mentally, and morally and will learn to respect the laws of nature, and gain the discipline over yourself, so necessary to perfect manhood and business success." The article is well worth the time of any man to commit to memory, and ff all would observe it, disease, physical weakness and . debility would become far more rare and physicians would have far less em ployment. It is a temperance lec ture, a sermon, a parent's injunct ion and a doctor's best advice, all in one.

X ne secret society idea possesses Corvallis boys now, and there are many juvenile lodges in town. They have great sachems and other ped estaled and pedigreed officials, and systems of ancient and mythical rites, wierd and spookfuL Among them is the Rough and Ready Sons of Webfoot, whose meeting place is the loft of John Smith's barn. At the meeting last Saturday night.' it was unanimously voted by the lodge that a fitting tribute should be paid to the noble and departed Washington, and the celebration that resulted included incidents thrilling and hairbreadth enough to make the hair of grown folks stand on end and that incidentally very nearly killed a valuable horse. THE START. " At the meeting, it was solemnly decreed that on Washington's birth day, each member of the lodge should ride a wild horse. A couple of members objected to the pro position, but they were informed that the slightest exhibition of cold feet would be promptly followed by expulsion from the order. ' In the McFadden stables there were two young bronchos, halter-broken, but they had never been ridden. They would answer the purpose so far as they went. Up in Avery's pasture there was a three-year old colt which had never seen a halter. Ttiis animal belonged to a member of the lodge and was at the service of the boys. Those : participating in the day's sport were "Jigs" Fel ton, "Timmy" Flett. ' Ike" Smith, "Fat" and "Dubs" McFadden, and "Socks" Avery. At one o'clock p. m. the Rough and Readies assembled at the Mc Fadden barn. The larger of the colts was saddled, and Dubs was to put him over the road to Avery's pasture. The other . colt was a two-year-old and Timmy Flett was selected to ride him bareback. Other members rode horses already broken to the saddle. When the boys were securely mounted and the calvalcade started, Dub's horse gave as fine a'n exhibition of buck ing as could be desired by the most ardent buccaroo, but the boy stuck to him like a herioc rough rider. In the meantime Timmy's mount had sulked and no kind f persuasion could move the animal . from his tracks. He was' finally led back to the stable, Tim then mounting be hind Ike, and all reached their destination without extraordinary incident. LHE CAPTURE. 1 At the pasture the boys rounded up the bunch of horses which con tained the object of their designs. They turned out of the enclosure all but the one which they intend ed to ride. Then various mem bers of the party made ineffectual attempts to lasso the colt. It came Ike's turn to wield the lariat. He was mounted, and the deliberation and precision with which he ar ranged thenoose and coils stamped him as an expert, . as his lineage and opportunities would have war ranted in advance. When the lasso had been arranged to Ike's satisfaction he directed his comrades to run the colt his way, at the same time swinging the noose so - that it should attain the required poise for the supreme moment. As the colt shot by him, little Ike made the cast with charming precision. The coils unfolded without a kink and the noose encircled the throttle of the frightened animal. Instant ly the boy made two turns with the lasso about the pommel of his saddle, and the sudden stop and the following struggle were exciting features of the day's sport. At length the colt fell from exhaustion and strangulation, inis was ex pected and the thing desired. As manv little chaps as could do so, planted themselves upon the pros trate animal's head with the view of holding it down until it could be bridled, -but all the bridles at hand were found to be too large. The colt breathed with much difficulty and it seemed necessary to act quickly else it might stop breath ing altogether. The noose was loosened with the idea of improv ising a halter with the rope, but with this actionthe animal recover ed strength and the boys proved too light to hold it down. uespite the best efforts of the little fellows the colt reco"vered its feet. Again the choking process was resorted to. The broncho fought. Sufficient tension was acquired to cause the colt to breathe with a gurgling sound, but the rope had become wet and. the noose re fused to tighten to the point of again prostrating the poor animal. After due effort to overcome the difficulty the boys gave it up, and when the rope was given slack it was found to their dismay that while the loop would not slip to tighten, neither would it slip to loosen, and, to add to their trouhlesj the colt had become vicious,, and wholly unapproachable. , . How to free the colt became the question before the assembly, and its dis cussion evolved a plan which was acted upon.-, The lasso was passed around a gate post, encircling at the same time, the forward upright of the gate. By the combined ef forts of one saddle horse and . the boys, the colt was snubbed up close. Timmy from the opposite side of the fence, made a slash with a knife to cut the noose. The colt dodged and the weapon' took effect a few inches below the .slip-loop, freeing the animal with a very uncomfort able necktie. WHAT HAPPENED AT HOME : Night was then coming on the boys', were worn ..out, and although they believed the noose would slacken when it got dry or got wetter, they left -the scene with much misgiving as to the colt's fate. On the way home the spirits of the youngsters were somewhat en livened when Dub's colt, taking him unaware, suddenly went to bucking and threw its rider into a mudhole.. No injury resulted and the boys were shortly on the wary again. So far as is known to the outside world, this closes the boys' adventures of the day, but maybe somethings happened in the cloisters of their homes that the near neigh bors, only, were aware of. SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS. They Organize in Corvallis and Rent a House of Worship. The building on the east side of Main street, between Washing ton and Adams, which was fitted up a year or more since for a place of worship, for the Holy Rollers, is once more to be devotedl to the purposes of religion. In Corvallis there are a number ofSeventh Day Adventists, and something of an organization having been formed, they rented the building referred to and will hold services therein. The pastor, Rev. C. J. Cole, a gentle man, who with his wife resides in Job's Addition. - Mr.. Cole has charge oi, the Adventist work, in Benton, Polk and 'Linn counties. He is said to be a thorough Bible student, and while he delivers ser mons upon occasion, be believes that in a general way more can be accomplished by teaching as in the Bible class. In their new house of worship Sunday school will be held each Saturday afternoon, followed by Bible readings. The Adventists as is generally known; hold that the seventh day, or the legal Sat urday, is the time appointed by holy writ as 'the day for worship. RevJ F. M. Berg, president of the Western Conference, is expected in Corvallis soon to look over the ground with tbe view of deciding whether or not the annual camp meeting shall be held in this lo cality. LADY MACCABEES ASTIR. Preyaring for a big Entertainment Wednesday. v ' Just now there is considerable stir among the local hive of !Ldy Maccabees. If it were a little later in the season a- casual observer would suspect that they were about to swarm, but that is not what ails them. Neither are these disciples of the ancient warriors planning an attack upon the descendants of the old enemy. They are not bustling about securing bandages to send over to the Japs. Whatever their movements may indicate, their activ ity in reality is not in pursuance of any warlike purpose. Their ef forts are rather in the promotion of peace, good fellowship and the financial and numerical prosperity of their fraternal home. The ladies are simply preparing to entertain their friends and all who may choose to meet with them at their hive in Odd Fellows hall, Wednesday eve ning, March 2nd. There is to be a program, games, substantial refresh ments and a number of features to be held in reserve as a surprise for the evening. This being the season for "reductions" and the disposi tion of things V'at cost" the price of admission to the main tent and all the sideshows, has been fixed at 20 cents. This offers a rare op portunity to lay in a large supply of entertainment at an expense within the reach of all. Among the special features will be the presence of Turney's orchestra. Other things in proportion. You can't afford to miss it. ! Lots of fun, lots of socia bility, lots to eat, lots to drink, all for 20 cents. No street parade, on account of the probable inclemency of the weather. THE RAINFALL. More has Fallen Than Entire Rainy Season Last Tear Other News. .- UpNto five o'clock Thursday ev ening, the rainfall for February was 12.13 inches. The amount is more than half as much as fell during September, October, December. and J anuary. The.total from Septemb er 1st up to Thursday evening was 34 09 inches. As it rained all Thursday night the - total is now above 35 inches, or more than fell during the entire rainy season of last year. Charles Nichols and Miss L,. Worrell were married at the Meth odist parsonage Wednesday even ing. The groom is an' employe' at the Benton Mills,, and the bride, a niece of li. Walden. R. St. Clair, a deaf mute, was in town a couple of days this week, soliciting assistance to eqable him to attend the famous deaf mute in stitution at Washington. D. C. The latter is said to bethe best institu tion of its kind in the world. Mr. St. Clair was for some time a stud ent at the Vancouver deaf-mute school, where he attained some dis tinction as a worker. The faculty and students at the college con tributed about $32 for his assist ance. , -- In the past six days. "52 -loaded cars of transfer freight have been sent over the C. & E. from Cor vallis to Albany. A large part of the shipment was lumber from Port land to California, New Mexico, and other southern markets. The Westside freight train went out over two hours late' Thursday morning on account of an accident. A big car of prunes, enroute East from Corvallis, got off the ' rails on account of a spread in the main track and it was with much diffi culty that the mammoth freighter was returned to the track and sent ahead. , ;. A topic that will be of extreme interest to people now is the subiect of a lecture at College chapel next Friday night. The lecturer is Har ry DeWindt who has traveled all over the countrv he is to describe- and his theme is, Russia and the mines of Siberia. More extended notice appears elsewhere in this issue, LatesfWar News. There is nothing startling in the latest war news.. It turns out that the reported sinking , of Japanese war vessels at Port Arthur came from the sinking of old hulks that Japan herself was trying to drop in the harbor entrance for the purpose of bottling up the Russian squadron. The Russians discovered the at tempt in time, and by a well direc ted fire prevented the hulks being sunk in the entrance. . A late dispatch related that the Japs have landed a force at a bay ninety miles south of Vladivostok, and that the Russian garrison there fled before the Japs without firing a shot. A future attack by Japs either upon Vladovostok or for des truction of the Manchurian railroad is supposed to be the plan the Japs have in view by this move. White Leghorns.
