Oorvallis Times. Official raper ol Benton tunty. COBY ALUS, OEEOON, MAR 15, 1905. THEY DESERVE BETTER. An absurd . condition prevails 'With respect to the Alsea mail serv ice. A considerable portion of the year the carrier leaves Philomath shortly before the arrival of the train. As a result, mail destined j for Alsea, lies in the Philomath postofflce for a period of nearly 24 hours. If it happens to be on Sat urday, the delay is nearly 48 hours. . A newspaper printed in Corvallis Friday evening, goes to Albany, thence to Junction and Monroe, and is delivered in the box of the subscriber near ' Bellfountain, per haps by noon Saturday. It has traveled a distance of sixty miles. The-same newspaper printed at the same time reaches the -Alsea post office at six o' clock Monday night, more than three days or full 75 hours after being printed. The same paper that it is possible for the Bellfountain subscriber to read Saturday noon, the Alsean prob ably gets about the following Tues day. The people of Alsea deserve a better service, and they should howl until they get it. It is worth while to keep in mind the idea .01 a clean Corvallis. It is worth while to reach a determina tion to have a clean Corvallis. Only a little effort on the part of all the people will bring about results that will both surprise and delight, not only our own people but the strangers soon to come among us. A little paint here, a little tidying up there, a few rose bushes about the home door, a plat of green grass in the door yard, with no rubbish in the ad!oiningstreet, alley or back yard and the effect is marvelous. It is well worth the while of all people to join in a movement for a general clean-up," "first, lor the satisfaction, pleasure arid comfort it will give ourselves; second, for the appeal it "will be to the Strang' er to pitch his tent and spend his dollars in our midst.

The late state oratorical contest at Newberg was a' great occasion. Much improvement is noticeable in the standard of oratory since the state contest at Corvallis four years ago. .The orations as a whole were better. There were no poor ones among them. The delivery at Newberg was much better. There is no doubt that the effect of the rivalry for places and .honors in these forensic struggles is for a bet ter standard, and that it ought to be continued. OAC took second place in the contest. OAC has never won farst honors. It is true however, that she entered the association several years after it was in existence, and that she has not yet had the time for making a showing that other in stitutions have had. , UAL won second place once before. - W. I. Patterson was second at McMinn ville seven or eight years ago, im mediately after the college was first admitted to the association. Since that third and. fourth places have been the rule. Herman Tartar took third position two years in succession. In his first attempt, he won first place in delivery, but his paper was cut to pieces by the markings of a judge up in Wash ington, and his opportunity for first honors destroyed thereby. Guy Moore was representative and won third or fourth place at Eugene two years ago. One reassuring fact is that the OAC representative has never trained with the rear guard, but has always managed to make a fairly good showing. A Newberg man won first place, Withycombe, OAC's representative beat him two points on delivery, and beat all others in the contest on delivery by a larger score. Withycombe and Templeton of Eu gene, drew larger applause trom the big audience than did any oth er speakers. The delivery of these two orators was of the polished dignified Websterian style. That of the winner was of the ranting, shouting, barn storming' kind. Many would have considered the style of the Newberg man rather that of the stump ; speech ,or the circus spieler than an exemplifica tion of true oratory. - It won a med al and first honors, however, and that is the main thing. The lucky man is named Miles. Next year the contest is to c be held at Albany. After1 that it goes to McMinnville, then to Mon mouth, and then comes again to Corvallis. At Newberg, it was held in the Friends church. That is the Quaker church, and it is a credit to the sect. It is larger, handsomer and more elegant than any place of worship in Corvallis. It has a commodious gallery in ad dition to tie main floor, and when filled Friday night with excited students and waving banners, pre sented an imposing scene. There were college yells and ' noisy dem onstrations before the program, but when the play began these things were dispensed with and demon strations confined to handclapping. The judges on delivery were, Mr. Rhodes of Portland, ex-Governor Geer of Salem, ahd Mrs. B. F. Ir vine of Corvallis. Those on com position were, Prof. Hopkins Jenk inks of the Portland High School, President Baldwin of the College of Philomath, and President Penrose, of Whitman College. The order of the speakers and places won were as follows, Miles, Pacific, 1st; John Withycombe, OAC, 2nd; Marker, Willamette University, 3rd; Tem pletonrJUniversity of Oregon, 4th. Sparks of Pacific, 5th; Gowan of McMinnville, sixth; and Hurley of Monmouth, seventh. Great fea tures of the occasion were numbers by the McMinnville Glee Club, and the banquet. Newberg is a thriving little city of 2,200 or 2,400. It is on the banks of the Willamette, 17 miles south of Portland. -It is on the line ot tne railroad that used to be a narrow, but now is a standard gauge. It is a thrifty place with an immense sawmill and a variety of business interests. It is a Quaker community, with a Quaker church and a Quaker college, and appears like a spot where it would be de sirable to live. A. S. Hall, a form' er OAC student who graduated with the class last Jane, has been, since leaving college, a pharmacist in one of the drug stores of ' the town. G.A.I: For Sale.

Stone, ; Sooth Main street, Corvallis. j ; ARE ENTERTAINMENT. At the College B7 the Vocal. Music and Senior Elocution Classes. A- charming programme was rendered at College chapel Friday evening by the music classes ,;of Mrs. Green and the senior elocu tion class of Miss Crawford. There was a good attendance and the pro ceeds were contributed to the Vil lage Improvement Society. Among the numbers presented there wer? no special features, unless it should be said that all were such. Between the various scenes of two dialogues, a ladies' chorus gave a number of high class selections, while 1 other numbers were vocal solos and duets charmingly rendered by Misses Mabel Keady, Margaret Herron, Agnes von der Hellen and Minnie Phillips. "The Old Country Aunt's Visit to the City," was a dialogue with Miss Iena Tartar in the leading part, Misses Stella Parsons, Leon Webber and Laura Pratt. In the dialogue and the acting of jhe young ladies, there was a real charm not frequently attained by amateurs. ' 'Cinderella' ' was pre sented by others of the senior elo cution class in a "most creditable manner. Miss Lura Flett assumed the character of Cinderella, - and herappearance in the role of dish-1 washer, wearing tattered garments and a most dejected mien, deeply affected her friends, and when she gave expression to a weared ex clamation, tears welled to the eyes of many present. Misses Isabel Wright and Alice Wicklund en tirely satisfied the part of. the two sisters, and Miss Myrtle DeHaven presented the role of the god-mother most acceptably. Roy Harlan as the prince, and JohnMcCormack as warden, presented a most pleas ing interpretation of the characters. Participants in the dialogues were attired in appropriate costumes and the characters were presented in such an easy and natural manner that the quality of the renditions was very much of a surprise to the audience. The easy grace which, as wen, cnaractenzea tne manner of the vocalists, is alike creditable to the performers and to their in structors. , Real Estate Transfers. ; The following real estate trans fers haye been filed for record at the recorder's office: Duncan Scott to A.
