A big audience was in College chapel Ftiday night to hedr Sorosis cirls debate with the bovs of the Zetegathean society. The contest resulted in a defeat for the boys, similar calamity having overtaken a boy's team in a debate with girls in the initial contest of the series. A fact that makes the case interest ing is that of the three years .the Gatch cup has been debated for, the boys bad won but once while girls have twice captured the prize. The Amlcitia boys first captured the cup, then the Pierian girls and last year the Feronian maidens. In Friday night's debate, the question was "Resolved that the president of the United States should not have the power of veto.' The boys have the affirmative and the girls the negative, and the teams were,- Zetegatheans, Mr. Thayer,' Mr. Forrest and Mr. Clark; Sorosis; Miss Ieona Webber Miss Pauline Davis and Miss Edna Irvine, The boys maintained that the president had already greater power than the constitution origin ally designed, and with much force endeavored to establish the fact that the veto is not necessary. The girls pointed out that .of the 433 measures vetoed time but 29 have been passed over the presid ent's negative, 15 of those being in a partisan contest between con gress and Andrew Johnson. This fact they urged, indicated that the veto had been wisely used, which was a reason for its continuance. They also urged it to be needed as a stay against corrupt and bad legislation, and as a means for the president to defend the executive power against possible encroach ments of congress. The judges were, E, R. Bryson, Prof. Horner and Prof, Tartar. In addition to the debate, there was a piano solo and encore by Mrs. Green, and a vocal duet, pleasantly rendered, by Miss Juliet Cooper and Miss Una Stewart. For Sale Good milch cows. - W. H.

Among the early day farmers of . Benton county who come to Cor vallis occasionally is William Rid enour, who resides on Big Elk, in Iyincoln county. Mr. Ridenour is well down the shady slope of life, a time when a reverent man becomes reminiscent and dwells largely upon things that havebeen, and those which might have been. Upon the occasion of Mr. Riden our' s recent visit to town he exhib ited a number of relics which are a source of pleasure to him and of interest to others. In his collec tion, for example, is a certificate of good character and proficiency in the blacksmith trade issued by his instructor and employer, Jacob Flaugher, Jr. It was dated- at Tiff an, Ohio, in 1852, just prior to Mr. Ridenour' s departure for the California gold fields. Other relics prized by him are several du plicate drafts upon the Adams and the Wells, Fargo & Company's express companies, The originals were sent by Mr. Ridenour to - his father at various times soon after the former arrived in California, a'nd began taking out the yellow metal. , Several articles in his pos session have been sought by the Oregon Historical society, but the owner on several occasions declin ed to part with them. Mr. Ridenour came to Benton county in 1859. Later he married Jane Kenney. whose father, the colonel, located the Newman place, in the Long Tom settlement. Mr. Ridenour, himself owned a farm a mile south of Corvallis, for many years. He and George Houck were partners in the stock business for a long period, and were quite successful. In 1868, Mr. Riden our ran for sheriff, of this county, against Judson Palmer, in what was a memorable campaign, ! The first count of the votes showed Rid enour to.have been elected by two votes but a recount gave the office to Palmer by one majority. Mr. Ridenour was prominent in the af fairs of Benton many years, but 25 years ago he took up a ranch on Bisr Elk, and there he resides in retirement and comparative enjoy ment. OVER SEVEN INCHES. Of Rain in March Two Frosts To tals for Past Years. Only 7.05 inches of rain fell in March. - It probably looked to the old inhabitant that it was raining more than that, but 7.05 inches was all the college weather clerk found for measurement. The highest temperature during the month was 77, on the 9th, and the lowest, 31 on the '30th. The latter was the morning when there was general averment about town by citizens that they had found ice about thir places that morning. lhe greatest rainfall in 24 hours was 1. 14 inches on the 25th. Twen- tyone days were rainy, nine were clear, seven part cloudy, and 15 cloudy. There was frost on the 29th and 30th, light in both in stances. The total rainfall for the period beginning the 1st of last September and ending March 31st, was 34.77 inches. The total for the same period last year with the month of April added, that is from. September 1st to May 1st, was 51.64 inches. The total for the year before that, with April in cluded, was 38.25 inches. Wood Srwing.
