Mr. George T. Myers, president of

everything as progressing favorably,
and thai there is no doubt that the
Oregon exhibit will be in Chicago and
in place on time for the opening on
May 1st. This is, of course, upon
the basw of the representations mads
up to date by the heads of the depart

Hiring the same. No relaxation of

however, that might cause any delay.

A BIG TIMBER DEAL.
SCHOONER WRECKED.
Concerning the vessel that came
ashore at Yaquina Wednesday after
noon, particulars are very meagre.
A note received by Cam Hemphill
from his father, living on the bay,
states that the wreck is a 3-niast
schooner; that she floated in on the
tide at 1 o'lock p. m., Wednesday and
grounded on South beach, inside the
jetty, opposite the south beach hotel.
She is a large vessel and is full of wa
ter. The Albany Herald learned that
the name of the schooner is the "Al
ice Blanchard," but nothing else as to
her identity, nativity, crew or carfo
had been reported at last accounts in
this city. It seems that Receiver
Hadley and Supt. Mulcahv, cf the O.
P. com puny were informed of the
wreck Wednesday evening, and im
mediately took a special for the bay
with the hope of assisting the vessel
off the sands with the tug at Yaquina.
Mr. Hemphill states iu his note that
she will go to pieces.

A hardwood deal of considerable
magnitude is reported to have been
consummated at this place on Wednes
day last, involving a no less historical
location than the Greenberry Smith
island, a few miles south of Corvallis.
Max Friendly, of this city, was the
purchaser. The tract comprises 1200
acres of the choicest ash and maple
timber in this section of the state.
A nominal price was paid and the
timber, being easy of access to the
Willamette river, can be rafted to the
mills at slight expense and placed on
the market at a reasonable figure.
A. W. Symmes, representing the
nursery department of Posson's large
seed emporium and nursery interests
of Portland, has been in the city sev
eral days taking orders, and expects to
remain some days further. A new
thing he has to introduce is the "Web
foot fertilizer."
The newly elected officers of the
Christian Endeavor society of the

I uesday afternoon the report went
flying about the streets that a man was
about to die at the city iail. Dr. Wil
son was called and found the man suf
fering from a lesion of the heart but
the worst of the attack was over and he
was coming around all right. The
doctor gave him a needed heart emoli-
ent and with the advice to take a good
rest could da no more for him. The
stranger, whose name was not learned,
i-i said to be a sailor discarded from
his calling because of his inability to
work aloft, and he had made his way
on foot to this part of the country from
tne coiumoia river. JNotmng turtner
was known of his intentions or identity,

The leading members of the athletic
association of the Oregon Agricultural
college are making arrangements to go
to Brownsville on the 2 2 ml lust, and
there give a rendition of their pro
gramme which won so much applause
and creditable comment when it was
recently presented here. Their feats
upon the horizontal bar and their fly

general atheletic make up, made racy
by the clowns who belong to the party,
will afford our neighbors on the east
side with an evenings entertainment
of geuine interest and amusement,

THE Y'S OPEN MEETING.
It will bo to your advantage to step
into Nolan's store and see the stacks
of goods already there, wnile many
more are constantly arriving. One
is thus assured fo the fact of which he
was well persuaded before, that the
proprietor has stated the truth in
claiming to have this year the largest
and most attractive stock of mens
youths', boys' and children?' clothing,
furnishing goods, hats, shoes, neck
ties, etc, erer brought to the city.
There are a lot of "special bargains"
in clothing, which for prices on the
quality of goods defy the record of the
past. It will pay you to call in and
see for yourself, examine goods and
be convinced.
The Y's held a very interesting
meeting at the Presbyterian church
last Tuesday evening. The audience
was lavored with a very appropriate
reading by Miss Birdie Osburn; Mr.
A.M. Weaver rendered a recitation in
a very creditable manner, portraying
well the effects of intemperance in the
darky's home, over which even the sol
emest forgot their gravity for a moment
and gY vent to their feelings in
smothered chuckles. The solo by Don
Ray was fine as usual. Rev. Gould
delivered an excellent address of fifteen
minutes which was well appreciated by
all. It can be truly said that the Y,
are accomplisning a great deal. They
are showing an ability and willingness
in their work that would be creditable
to any organization, and so may they
continue, while they should be heartily
encouraged bv the community in thei
noble work.
Onr new Spring Stock is now arriYing. We will show this season a much larger and more attractive stock that

of meetings to be continued for some
time in this city, at the M. iu. church
south chapel, last Tuesday evening.
The room was densely packed with
people at the introductory meeting.
Captain Bryant and his wife, Mrs.
Zimmerman and another lady compose
the exhorters, and ncccrdinc to their
usual custom they began the campaign
with spirited work, in a tone ot earn
estness that could hardly fail to be
heard by anyone , within the building.
They came from Eugene to this place
and are the sa me people who recently
stirred the people of Philomath to
such a religious awakening.
The board of regents' meeting last
Monday was for the purpose of appoiut
ing a buildiug committee. The com
mittee appointed was Governor Fen-
no er, Supt Mcl-lroy, Hon. A. 1C
Shipley: assisted by Pres. Bloss. This
committee was appointed to look over
the gr rands for the most suitableIo
cation, confer with architects as to the
designs, etc., and obtain the plans and
specifications in the near future. The
llding wilt be erected during the
summer months. - A. new green nouse

are the buildings contemplated.

As usual, police surveilance is di
rected to the meetings of the Salva

and while it is all wrong, it is a perfect
ly natural consequence.
