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.

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. HOOK AKD LADDER COMPANY 3 RECEPTION. Probably the most enjoyable event in the history of the Corvallis fire department was the entertainment given by the Hook & Ladder Company, on the evetiing of Dis covery Djv. Their hall is the 1-C3t fur tuabeil of any in town and presented a mi si inviting appearance, being handsomely dec orated with flowers, bunting flags, besides two. life-sized crayons of Columbus, and other things in keeping with the occasion. At about 5 o'clock the guests began to ar rive and were greeted with a concert of na tional airs by the Marine Band. Promjitly at 8-30 the program begin, the first osin ber being a greeting, by a quartette' of male voices, consisting of Messrs. . Fulton, Wilson, Johnson and Wilson, and was well received. President B. W. Johnsou then welcomed the guests in a few lifting re marks. Col. John Kilsay i:i his reply caused considerable merriment when he dis covered that the time allotetl to him Ii wl been exhausted, by remarking that he -"had said enonglu' After a well rendered instrumental dpt 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. Walker, of Yaquina city was assaulted hy Lee Foo, a Chinaman.
