COLUM BtTS DAY FESTIVITIES.
FITTINGLY OBSERVED IN CORVALLIS BV
THE schools and fiee DEPARTMENT.
Corvallis was not behind other localities
and western cities in pVoperly -observing
Columbus Day. The 4 banks were closed
and the city had the appearauce of a gen
eral holiday. The firs!; - program ar
ranged for the day were the exercises at
the public school, which begau promptly at
nine o'clock.
The scholars assembled in their usual pla
ces at the appin-ted time, and the tmilfiing
was soot, crowded with visitors, also the
members of the G. A. R. Pr.iyer was of
fered by Rev W. C. Kantuer, ami Presi
dent J. M. Bloss, of the agricultural col-
ege, delivered a short but appropriate ad
dress. The "Song of Columbus Day" was
well rendered, and the address read by Wal
ter fin lie nd was good. Miss Dora Blum-
berg read the ode, "Colombia' - B.iuucr,"
and did j-actice'to the 'words conveyed.
Part 3.:cond consisted Hi raising the fl-ig Ity
a committee of veterans after the people
and studcnt3 had marched to the front of
the building. Then each grade saluted tho
flag in order, which was followed by the
song, "My Couutry, 'Tia of Thee," by the
pupils. The teachers of the school Were
highly pleased to meet many of the patrons
of the school, and appreciated their words
of encouragement. The teachers have
at the suggestion of the board concluded to
give a primary entertainment on the even
ing of Dec.. 23rd, the proceeds 'to be applied
toward tho purchase of books, supplies', etc.
AT THE AGUICULTCKAL COLLEGE.
Immediately at the close of the exercises
at the public school, an immense crowd
of j
pcople-iittered in tho colleen chapel and
hallways to listen to the program prepared

Ims Day as a national holiday, while Prof.
French read Governor Peuuoyer8jlrief epis
tle to the Oregonians, containing the sanio
commandments. An interesting essay on
the life aud character of Christopher Colum
bus, was read by Mis3 Jennie Gallatly. A
recitation by little Mi3a Whitby next car
ried the vast udieuco by storm. Presi
dent Bloss, Whose reputation as an orator
is already widely known, delivered a:i elo
quent eulogy on Coluuibns, and his iudom
nitable energy and persevereuce in reaching
this continent, of Columbus Day as a na
tioual holiday, the exposition etc. He ex
plained what part the colleges and schools
would take in the exhibit, and friends of
education would be called upon to assist in
defraying the expenses of Oregon's educa
tional exhibit. ' At the close of this elo
quent appeal 75 was raised for the purpose,
and the amount is still growing. State Su
perintendent McE'roy is exerting himself
energetically to raise the sum of $2,500 to
defray the expenses of the educational ex
hibit, and Corvallis has mule a m vo in
that direction worthy the emulation of
other localities.

by Miss Leon Bonis and Miss Sarah Ja
cobs, Mayor Burnett responded to the
toast, -Tl:e Day we Celebrate.'' in his
usual cloquct t and pleasing manner, aud
was attentively listened to by all. John
Fulton S'Uig "I Can't Forget the Happy
Past," in bis ever pleasing way, following
which, S. T. Jeffreys responded to the'
toast,. ."'The Volunteer Fire Department, its
Aims and Needs," aud succeeded in covering
himself with clory, it being one of the most
enjoyable numbers on the program. Those
present were then favored with a novelty
iu the way of a guitar duet by Marion
Johnson nnd L. V. Eberhart, and was thor
oughly appreciated. Iu response to the
toast, ''Exempt Firemen," Jndiro McFad
den answered, took the ludicrous side of the
question and soon had the audience con
vulsed with laughter, closing with a good
hit on his "venerable" friend, Jess Spencer.
The r'endi'lon of Gounod's waltzes from
Faust, by Miss Uattie Friendly is deserv
ing of especial mention, and shows evi
dence of careful training.
President F. A. Helm made a verv neat
little response to the toast. "The Ladies'
Coffee Ciul," after which C. Elton Blan
ehard responded to "Our Flag," and proved
himself a trno disciple of Bellamy. Miss
Addie Davenport then sung in a very sweet
style, "A Leaf From the Spray," receiving
the only ercore of the evening. The toast,
"Young America" Avas responded to hy
Jas. A. Can thorn in which h paid a hand
some tribute to the valor and persistent ef
forts of that compaliv. Geo. E. Fish proved
himself quite a genial s- irit iu his response
to "llonnmenta! Hose
ise Co. Next being a
well rendered male
quartette.' followed l.y
F. M. Johnsons response to the toast I
"Christopher Columbus." in which he
evoked considerable merrimpnt ill referring '
to the hoi in ass of that honored personage.
Next iu order was a piano solo by Mrs. T. I
Canthorn, which was rendered in her own
inimitable way. J. II. Wilson concluded
the program with! an able response to tht
toast, "Corvallis Hook & Ladder Co." J.
O. Wilson, the general t astmaster, then
announced that he wocld turn the audience
over to the tender mercies of Carl, who it
seems had . prepared the tumptnons lunch.
The way everyone ate was a caution, and lieved to bo cholera, but subsequent inves
did ample justice to Carl's sandwiches, , titration Droved it to be a violent form of
cakes, and other eatables. The committee
on - arngements, Messrs. T. E. Wilson.
Dunn, Johnson and Hodes, are deserving 6f
credit for their efforts in making the even
iig so ir.u :!i ofasuCesi, and one that will be
long remembered as both pleasant and prof
itable. , Theboys inform the Gazetts that
this was but a prelude to a grand ball that
will be given on the evening .of Dec 23rd.
Judging from their past efforts, we are safe
in s-iyiog it will be a success in every re
spect. Assault with as Axe. Last week Geo.
