St Louis Fair Will not be Ready for
Opening day Visitors Should Wait.
In a letter to a friend in this city,
H5?ill Johnson tells of some condi
tions on the World's Fair grounds
at St Louis. He says the exhibits
will not all be in place by the open
ing day, and advises visitors not to
be there until a little later. Up to
Monday of last week, nothing had
been done on the Oregon exhibit,
and there was some trouble in the
work on account of labor complica
tions. In the construction of the
Oregon booth three union labor
men, with Mr. Johnson and Mr.
Douglas of Albany were engaged.
Mr. Johnson's letter continues J" We
had not been long at work before a
walking delegate of the union ap
peared and tried to make us quit.
We had three union carpenters
working and he threatened to take
them off the job if we kept on. This
gave us a little scare so we referred
the matter to Senator Wehrung. He
told us to go ahead which we did.
The next day the delegate came
again while Senator Wehrung was
with us and they had quite an argu
ment, the result of which was that
Senator Wehruing told him that if
he did not get off our space and stay
off, that he would smash his face
for him. Since that time we have
not been bothered, but as we are
not yet out of the woods it is not
too late for trouble. Tomorrow we
commence tacking up the burlap
and as this is claimed to be union
labor it may come then.
Union carpenters are getting 65
cents per hour. Those in the edu
cational block struck for 75 cents
per hour, but could' nt make it.
I think it safe to say that nothing
will be completed by April 30th,
and for this reason would not ad
vise the Corvallis people to come at
that time. .

Perfect Rubber Band Thr6kgh
Flesh A Mystery and a Guess.
its
Here is a story about a dog. Vir
gil Watters has one that went lame
10 days ago. After repeated ex
aminations as to the cause, a rub
ber band was finally found encir
cling a portion of the limb above
the knee. The reason that only a
portion of the limb was encircled
was that the band passed through
the fleshy part of the limb in the
rear, leaving a part untouched by
the band. , Of course, the first guess
was that some boy had run his knife
throughthe dogs leg and then slipped
the rubber through and tied the ends
and slipping the knot back into the
wound. That theory was quickly
exploded however, and the mystery
of the case deepened when it was
found, on removal, that the band
was perfect, and without a knot m
it.
The surmise now is, that when
the dog was yet a puppy the band
was slipped over the tiny limb, and
as time went on the limb grew larger
the band pressed deeper and deeper
into the flesh; that by and by it was
so far in that the flesh outside of it
grew together and continued to en
large until the mischievous band
had actually become a part of the
leg. The dog is now seven months
old. Since the removal of the band,
the lameness has disappeared.
Parip, April 21. The Yinkaw
correspondent of the Paris Journal
Bays he has tried repeatedly to as
certain the extent of the recent dis
asters to the Russian arms, and he
has failed to do eo because of the
perfectly organized secrecy of the
Russians. In his concluding state
ment, he says:
"The people of France will be 0-
bliged to be satisfied with notices!
marked 'official or semi-omeial
statements sent trom Harbin or
Mukden many miles removed from
the actual scene of the war. I ana
close to Port Arthur, and might
give the true version of many inci
dents, the news of which, as pub
lished, has been mere conjecture,
but the Russians strictly forbid all
communications of land or sea
events. At the moment of sending
this message, grave happenings are
proceeding on the peninsula; in
fact, I am told that another battle
is being fiercely contested in the
neighborhood of Port Arthur.

STUDENTS TO MAKE TOUR.
Senator Booth Again Contributes for
the Purpose Boys, go Soon. ;
The class in animal husbandry
at the college is to make another
tour of Oregon stock farms this
spring. Senator Booth contributed
a sufficient sum of money to pay
the expenses of the class for the
tour, and he has made, a donation
for the same purpose again this year.
.Last year the class visited nve of
the principal stock farms in the
Willamette Valley, including the
well known Ladd farm at Reed
ville, and the J. B. Stump farm in
Polk County. This year, the tour
is to be more extended, and will oc
cupy more time. At these the boys
will have more opportunity to see
and study seven different breeds in
fancy cattle, a wide variety of sheep
and several breeds of swine. At
each place the manner of keeping,
the character of the buildings, and
the methods of feeding will be ob
servable. In all respects . the trip
will be of great value to the stu
dents who are to go. The expense
of the trip is estimated at S250.
The friendship shown the college
and its work by Senator Booth
in this manner is creditable alike to
the senator and to thes institution
The announcement that the sum
would be available for the purpose
was made by Senator Booth to Dr,
Withycombe in Salem the other
day. , .
