Corvallis Times. Official Paper of Beaton County. COBTALIIH, OBXGON. JULY 6, 1904. BANISH THE BOMB. It is to be hoped that before Cor vallis celebrates again, the firing of bombs, firecrackers, and other explosives will be strictly prohibit ed on the principle streets The practice, to most people, is a ser ious interference with the pleasures of the day, and is a constant source of danger to life, limb and property. Huge bombs are exploded in the midst of crowds of persons for the purpose of seeing the weak-nerved jump. They are thrown in the street to burst as spirited horses are passing, or as ladies are driving by. That last Monday , passed without a serious accident is an actual source of wonder. The bomb and the firecracker, as a mat ter of fact, are of heathenish origin, and best beliked in heathen lands. If there is real pleasure for any body in firing them, such should congregate in a broad field, outside of town, and there ' with all such explosives as cunning can, design, make Rome howl with the noise. In that way harm will not come to the innocent, and the pleasure of many people will be heightened. A city ordinance to binish the the bombs would be popularly ; ap preciated and be a measure of safe ty. Nearly five thousand "people were killed or injured by use of explosives at the 4th of July cele brations of last year. Over 600 were killed outright, 10 were made totally blind, and 75 lost an eye. The property lost by fire, result1 ant from the explosives, ran into millions of dollars. Worst of all, the explosives, it has been demon strated, cause tetanus r lock jaw in human beings, and some years ago, this horrible death overtook so many people after a . celebration in an Eastern town, that there result-, ed a belief for some time that an epidemic of tetanus might at ady time follow a celebration attended with a carnival of explosive firing. OREGON AT, ST. LOUIS. Has Longest Timothy on the Grounds Crowds Admire Webfoot Fruit. World's Fair Grounds, St. Louis Mo., July 5 The last week has seen many visitors in the Oregon state agricultural exhibit in the Louisiana Purchase) Exposition. Occupying, as it does, a good lo cation on the main aisle of the .agri cultural building, the exhibit draws very good crowds. '" '' Y The most noticeable feature of the state display is .the excellent showing and arrangement o! grains and grasses: It is said to have the longest timothy hay in the .whole building, quite an honor when it is remembered that the whole world is represented. Beside tbe displays of grains and grasses there are Oregon hops and hundreds of jars of preserved fruits. The farming industry of the state -has been well examined, and the resulting exhibit speaks very cred itably for Oregon. . The principal part of the horti cultural display is the prunes and apples. The prunes especially attract considerable attention, and at a banquet of horticultural super.' intendents held last week, they were served up in style, and many words of commendation were ex pressed for the Oregon fruit. A . couple of boxes of Oregon apples were also opened which brought similar results. Each day Oregon prunes are demonstrated in the exhibit by C. V. Galloway of Yamhill, superin tendent of horticulture. The prunes are cooked without sugar just to show how sweet they grow, and served cold to the crowd. . They are very popular and advertise the fruit to young and old. Our sample line of swell summer clothing is now in. OAC Pressing Co Baseball Players and Foot Racers. Louis T.

Though there are 300 millions of people in India, murder is almost unknown there. The condition is phenomenal in contrast 'withl other conntries.iin all of - which murder and murderers abound. The fact is ascribed by Mr. Maknrdji, a Hin doo now in Corvallis, to the influ ence the Hindoo religion : wields on the people of IndiaV Mr. Maknrdji is highly educated, speaks English fluently and is an intelligent young man of 28 or 30 years of age. Sat urday night, he delivered an infor mal lecture before the Ladies Read ing Club at the home of Miss Snell, with the religion and literature of India for a topic. ' . " v ;l -The Hindoos, according to Mr. Makurji, are far more devout than our own Christians.-;They ' "believe every man to be the son of God, and accept Jesus Christ and believe, in the new testament. They believe man after death is born again as a child and he lives cSver and over a gain on earth, being always uncon scious of his former life.: The length of the period between death and the new birth is neither fixed ncr understood. "Every Hindoo lives, not lor bis own, but for everybody's benefit A Hindoo marries, not for helping himself or for fulfilling his own particular desires, but with the, idea of bringing another worker in to the household. V The new wife is brought into the family; where the son remains to help the parents until the father at tains the age of fifty, when the lat ter retires fr.om work and spends his time in thought ; and religious meditation Many Hindoos retire from the world, and live in caves in the Himalaya mountains, subsisting mainly on the fruits that abound in that ' tropical clime. Charity and alms-giving is a national trait, and the beggar to whom a suit of clothes and money is given at night, may have bestowed it all on a fellow beg gar by the ;morning. Y The , main thought of the people is their relig ion, and but little attention is paid or interest taken in the accummular tion of property. Though in social life there are castes to the, number of four, with lines of .etiquette tightr ly drawn, there are no. sects in their religion, and they are amazed" at the number and variety of . denomi nations and churches in the Chris tian religion. They "dislike ftthe, missionaries, whom Mr. Makiirdji says undertake to teach -them about a Christ that the Hindoos have, al ready accepted as He is, but whom the missionaries undertake to give to them as the American or Europe an churchmen accept him - They ' want to dress Christ up in ; their kind of a nectie, and hat and coat, and give him to-us that way," said the Hindoo student The literature of the Hindoos contains an epic, similar to Homer's Illiad, that tells a beautiful story, which narrated in the foreign ac cent and graceful style of this Hin doo student, far removed now from his native land, was charming en tertainment for those who listened to it at Miss Snells home. Mr. Makardji is doing work in the college laboratories, while - he waits for a friend who is to reach Corvallis from Japan in two weeks or a month, after which both leave for the St. Louis Exposition. Mr. Makardji may return to O. A. C-, when school-opens in thefall. Horse races, hose races, bicj cle and fat man's races, aad lots of good thing that have not been mentioned.. In Coivallis.lhe 4tb. .

THEY EYED HIM. - Small Boys and a Firecracker Shooter Celebration Incideat. . A stranger of 21 or thereabouts en tered a local establisement and in quired the "price of firecrackers. "Give me a dollar's worth was his next remark. He took the package, walked outside, sat down on a box, and proceeded deliberately to fire off the crackers a bunch at a time. Then he re-entered the storecalled for another dollar's worth, and again seating himself on the box. repeat ed the operation. r'S " By this timej he was surrounded by a crowd of small boys, who eye him with wonder and admiration. They had never seen such princely prodigality. He fired his crackers nonchalantly as though it were a duty, r or a business transaction. When the second dollar's worth was exhausted, he walked back in to the store. This time, the prop rietor, who had been a silent obser ver of proceedings, 'expected his customer to buy out his whole stock of crackers. Only half a dollar's worth was ordered on this trip, how ever, and the new supply was explo ded in the same prodigal way that the others went, after which the in cident closed. v-' The wOndef is, if the cracker buy er got $2 50 worth of fun. His crowd of small boy onlookers could have had a whole lot more pleasure out of the big pile of good firecrack ers he spoiled.
