Corvallis Times CORVALLIS, OREGON, FRIDAY EVENING, MAR. 22, 1907 B. F.Hyland. The death of B. F. Hylaod, which occurred yesterday, makes public gitt of $500 that he recently bestowed on the people of Corvallis end which at his reqnest has re mained a secret, waiting for his passing. At the time of the Moun tain water bonds sale, he purchased a $500 bond, and within a few months thereafter presented it to tbe Water Commission with the provision that he should receive the interest until his death. The request was carried out, and the first of the bonds against the city is held by itself and will be cancell ei at once. Whatever may have been other estimate of Mr. Hyland, his act of generosity and public spirit, give him title to public gratitude and is one that thousands who pretend more, will neither du plicate, nor emulate. TWO GREAT HORSES. Imported From Europe Owned and Kept now in Corvallis. Two big, handsome horses, DerhaDS as nne ones as mere are anywhere, have arrived in Benton county. They were brought from Nebraska by Thomas Faucett, who went East after them more than a month ago. The owner and his horses made the trip in the same car across the continent, arriving in Corvallis Tuesday night. - Both horses will remain permanently in Benton as a part of the fancy breeds ing stock of the county. Their ar rival is a distinct cause for con gratulations among those who want to seethecommuuitytiorge ahead in every line of progress. One of the animals is a Royal Belgian. He came from the loyal stables in Belgium, where he won a gold medal and first , prize at one of the royal horse shows in the kingdom. He took nrst prize in 1906 at the Nebraska state fair, and first prize the same year at the Iowa state iair. He is ahandsoms dapple black, and will be five vears old this sprite. He is mas sive in build, and has superb ac tion in spite of the fact that he tips the beam at 2,300 pounds. He is . now at Abbott's feed barn, where he is seen and admired by a great many people. The figure has not been given out, but it is known that his cost to Mr. Fawcett runs well into the thousands of dollais. He is undoubtedly one of the best horsn of his class in the world. The other horse is an Oldenberg German coach horse. He will be four years old this springand was raised by Lubin, the most famous breeder of coach horses in the world. He is a beautiful mahog any bay in color, and weighs be tween 1,500 and 1,600 pounds. He has been a noted show horse in the stud of Frank lams, a well known - importer of St. Paul, Nebraska, from whom he was purohased. In 1905 he was awarded first prize at the state fairs of Iowa, Nebraska, and Illinois, and took the sweep stakes over all coach, hackneys and other horses of the character at the Nebraska state fair that year. He is in appearance probably as proud a looker in the shape of horseflesh as was ever seen. His head is high in the air, his contour is in beauti ful curves, and his action is prob ably as near the perfect standard as is ever obtained. He has not only speed and action, but is ot power ful build' forming a carriage horse of a character that the Oregon country has never yet had. A team of horses of this breed sold in Se attle recently for $4,560, and the same breeder has a similar team that he holds at $4,000. Both teams are a cross between trotting breeds and the German coach. The incident illustrates the possibilties of the cross. Mr. Fawcett, who also owns Pa tache, will keep all three of -his horses in Corvallis. Patache, it will be remembered never was beat en in a horse show, having taken first prize at tbe Worlds fair at St Louis. - The farmers and stockmen in so county in Oregon have so eminent a stud of horses within reach, as have those in Benton by reason of the importations of Mr Fawcett.
