THE CORVALLIS GAZETTE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 26, 1894. OUR MAN ABOUT TOWN. Mixes Much Meaning Matter for the Many Mirthful Minds. Corvallis ha a justice hia name is Hol gate. He has his office in the court house and don't know when to go home to meals. Last Monday afternoon he went over to his office, where he became deeply interested in one of Bullwer's novels. That evening about eight o'clock a friend, seeing a light in his office, concluded to call on His Honor, but found both doors of the building se curely locked. Going around to the win dow from whence issued the light the friend enquired if the- court was to be in session all night. "No," came the reply, "just wait a minute and I will go up town with you." Putting on his overcoat he pro eroded to the rear doer, but found it locked. This was also true of the front entrance. The judge had no key and the only means of egress afforded was through the window, which was a long distance from the ground, but by means of a ladder provided by the pal outside a landing was effected in safety. The squire has since given notice to the public that no business will be transacted in his court after the janitor locks the doors. On learning that the O. A. C. football team had challenged Stanford for a game, Bill Hsrtless sent in his unconditional resit; nation, to take , effect immediately. He claims he is going toswear off; its too wet a Kama. fT.ar.er The football team at the last meeting considered the resignation of Mr Hartless and decided that they could not dispense with his services and therefore fused to accept the same. The "thief that relieved the safe in "The Leo." of about $100 one night last week was discovered and made to disgorge. No arrests. Billy Chandler's troubles still occur anew. Since he began housekeeping several little articles of convenience have disappeared the last of which was an xe, taken from his woodshed at 4:30 p. m. on Tuesday. It will be remembered that Billy had an ex perience with a bold, bad burglar one warm summer Jiight, and when he arose in the moraine he was pantless and penniless. The Man About Town suggests that these prow lers find new fields for their operations and eive Billy a chance, now that he's married and settled down to business. We told yon some time ago about George Waggoner's park of Denny pheasants Well, about four of them made their escape the other day and au old cock was seen down on the river front investigating the surroundings and has not returned. Henry Pape has always been a democrat and until reoently boasted of the fact. " It was whispered to the Man About Town that he was about to get on the fence and study the question of political ecanomy, As to what he will do after giving the sub ject due consideration is a question, but Jim Crow thinks that Henry will still keep plodding along in the old democratic rut, advocating his free trade theories. COLLEGE NOTES. Gigantic preparations are being made for the contest, which will positively take place on the second of February. Every. one should come to hear the young ladies and gentlemen of the Ciceronian society make their debate and those of the Wei sterian society strengthen. their former good reputation. A good musical organization ought to be a credit to this institution, but strange to say the cadet band is not receiving the support it deserves. The boys have been very con siderate and accommodating about furnishing music and have always given satisfaction. The members at present possess unusual talent and it seems wrong to let this talent lie idle, but nevertheless the cadet band is on the vary verge of death and unless some- one comes to the rescue its death will be soon. Why don't the college sustain a band? Until it does it is in the rear of all institutions of its kind. The college male quartette, under the ef ficient direction of Prof. Berchtold, has be come quite popular and the improvement of late has been marked. Several changes have been made and it is at present com- posed of the following members: First tenor, J. Fulton and M. R. Johnson; sec ond tenor, A. Lambert and W. T. Lee; first bass, Prof. Berchtold and E. G. Em mett; second bass, H. R. Clark and W. H. Bloss. Prof, and Mrs. Coote received a number of the young people of the college at their residence last Friday evening. The time was s$ent in an unusually pleasant monner, after which a delicious lunch was served. Those present were as follows: Misses Barclay, E. Willis, Simmons, L. Willis, M. Caul horn. Hannah. Nash, Barnett and Wicks, and Messrs. D. Adamson, Doughty, C Johnson,' Desborough, W, Johnson, E. Adamaon. Kidder. G. Clark. Holman and Keady, Prof. Letcher and Mr. and Mrs, Pernot. .

Mr. Albert Favorite, of Arkansas City, Kan., wishes to flive our readers the benefit of his experience with colds, lie says: contracted a cold early last spring that set tled on my lungs and had hardly recovered from it when I caught another thatjhung on all summer and left me with a hacking cough which I thought I never would get rid of. I had used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy some fourteen years ago with much success, and concluded to try it again. When I had got through with one bottle my cough left me and I have not suffered with a cough or cold since. I bave recom mended it to others, and all speak well of it. 60 cent bottles for salelby Graham ft Wells, i CALIFORNIA IRRIGATION. San Francisco, Cal., ;Jan. 23, 1894. To the Editor: There are some things which to be understood must be seen. One day last week, having occasion to go up into the San Joaquin valley to the town of Merced, I availed myself of an opportunity of examining into the natural resources of that country and shall ask your indulgence fnr oivimr the readers of THE GAZETTE an j- ' " idea of what I saw. I am one of those persons who believe that the products of the soil, in some form or oilier, constitute the true basis of national wealth. With that conception 1 naturally conclude that our country will "be rich and powerful in proportion as the soil is made to yield, to the ingenuity and industry of man, its stores of wealth. It is marvelous to me that so many men cling to the idea that wheat raising is the only industry worthy of their attention. When I think of it I am tempted to believe that they only exer cise the quality of industry without that of ingenuity. Every community has its quota of ingenious men who are too lazy to work. You will readily mark those who combine the two qualities of ingenuity and industry. They are always in the lead, always pros perous and always respected. A man may be industrious, work himself about to death and still remain unsuccessful. Such men, under ordinary conditions, will usually be found to possess but little ingenuity. At Merced I found seme good object lessons illustrative of the above fact. To appre ciate the value of soil in a climate adapted to fruit raising one should see it with irri gation and without it. Land which will yield a good quantity of wheat per acre without irrigation will produce fruit, vege tables and other products ten fold under the influence of irrigation. I learned from dif ferent persons that the land around Merced would go from 15 to 30 bushels of wheat per acre. And wheat yields of over 1,000 acres, are the rule. So I inquired where they could get water for irrigation and was informed they had an artificial lake about six miles out of town some ninety feet higher than the surrounding country. I went out to see it and found a body of water covering about a section of land and holding as I was informed, 300,000,000 gallons of water. This lake was supplied with water from Merced river bv a large canal. The river flows down from the snow clad Sierra Nevada mountains, through the Yosemite valley, and furnishes an inexhaustible sup ply of water for the lake and irrigating canal. The temperature at Merced varies from 22 above zero in winter to 114 in sum mer. The ordinary winter temperature is about 50 to 60 and summer 70 to 100. I took these figures from the weather record kept there and they indi cate about what the average temperature is. It is just the right climate for fruit. By bringing water on the soil during the warm season the production is always great where the soil is of good quality. . The lake and canal are owned by a company who also own some 40,000 acres of land contiguous to the canal and I was told they have re cently been offering the laud in small tracts to bona fide settlers, and at prices and terms within reach of most industrious men. I asked an agent of that company how much cash a man would need to get settled there with, and was told $1,000 would easily locate a man on 20 acres and make it possible for him to live from the products of the place. For instance: His land and water being furnished by the company he would pay seven per cent, of the purchase price down, and have enough left to build a small house and barn and buy a team and implements enough, to cultivate the place with, and pay seven per cent, of purchase price each year until paid for. It is hard for Oregonians to realize how twenty acres can be made to produce enough for a living; but when one can be harvesting some kind of a crop dur ing every month in the year it is a very dif ferent proposition from taking only one crop per year. Alfalfa hay is cut five or six times a year and yields one to one-and-a-half tons each time. Grapes mature one part of the season; olives, nuts or some cer tain fruits another; oranges and lemons in January and February and through the spring months; vegetables, berries, etc., in the summer. Take alfalfa, for instance, and feed it to hogs and with some grain feeding, market bacon and hams. I learn that most of the cured meat that is used up there comes from the east. I understand that the company who own the water rights up at Merced have lately made some large reductions in the price of land and water rights but did not inquire into that. The selling of it, I believe, is in the hands of the Central Pacific land agent, W. H. Mills, who has an office at the company headquar ters at Fourth and , Townsend streets, San Francisco. While I know but little about farming or fruit-raising myself. I have the faculty of observing the success or failure of others in that field, and it struck me that a good many men now struggling almost against hope to make a living, would be considerably better off located on a good piece of fruit land with plenty of water to insure certain crops. M. J. S. FROM LORD DTJNRAVEN. After the defeat of the English yacht Valkyrie by the American vessel Vigi lant some ..months since, Mr. J. Ber nard Walker, of this city, offered the dis tinguished owner of the English craft some suggestions concerning alterations that might be made to adyantage and received the following courteous letter: 27 Norfolk St., Park Lane, W., London, England, Jan, 4. 1894. Ddar 81b: I have to thank you for your letter of Nov. 22nd, which I have read with interest. It is not possible for me to pronennce at once upon the numerous sumrestions which reach me for the alter ation of Valkyrie, bnt all of them, your own in cluDed. ate very acceptable as evidence of interest in yachting, which the recent contest for the America cup appears to naveaone no murii w munaiaie. very respectiuuy, Dlnrrvem.

Brief Resume of His Sermon to the O. A. C Football Eleven Sunday Evening:. x Dr. George F. Plummer preached last Sunday evening upon the topic, "Athletics from a Christian Stand noint." The O. A. C. football team and many other young men interested in athletic sports were in at tendance. The doctor is a logical and earn est speaker and his words were listened to with the closest attention. The excellent music rendered bad been especially selected for the occasion. The. following is a brief synopsis of the sermon: The Christian church has always com batted the materialistic theory that all in life is dust dirt. All that is true in that philosophy was taught by Moses 2,000 years ago. We must be taught by example and precept. There are examples that a man seeking a true theory of life can not afford to ignore. St. Paul put his body under subjection to his religious convictions. May God help us to learn something frcm that great man. We cannot contend with the ills of life unless we have some ideal. There are spiritual victories as well as ma terial There are spiritual athletes as well as physical. The good man is not the work of chance, but the result of combat against evil the result of spiritual training. Many a man who never flinched at the cannon's mouth was deterred from doing a manly act by the fear of flings from his mates. Many good men who dare and do many remarka able things in athletic games are afraid to pray to the author of their being. I rejoice to see a young man who brings his body up to a state of comparative perfection, but it is a grievous thing if he neglects to beaut ify the inDer man. Each man training for athletic games has some special defect to overcome. The swift runner does not need to so train for fleetness as the man who is slow. Every man has his particular moral weakness to overcome. Some must fight a tendency to be; others to steal; some, ex cesses of the appetite. A horrible thing is doubt. We must fight against it. Train our bodies and our souls for the fight and we will gain the victory, Paul's life was a fight a hard fight but we have his own words that testify to his victory: "1 have fought a good fight ; 1 have finished my caurse; I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteous ness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day." I can understand the enthusiasm that can take hold of a body of joung men and sub ject them to unusual privations, in order to gain a little ciown of - praise and honor. But oh, how I wish the same enthusiasm would seize them to fight the fight of life; to train their souls to make them Christian gentlemen. The body is dust and to dust returns with all its graces and all its defects, but the soul lives on forever." WHY I BELIEVE IN FREE TRADE. Editor Gazette If our factories could get the raw material cheaper than they now do then the consumer would get the manu factured article cheaper in proportion; and this, you can plainly see, would benefit the masses just what we are wanting. It is an old, mistaken idea that the producer and manufacturer need so much protection. It is the consumer who needs protecting. High wages are not so much a matter of importance as is the purchasing power or value of our money. If we can get our food and clothing cheap, then yon readily see that we can work cheap. In other words to protect our wool grow ers of America would be simply creating a monopoly against the interest of the masses. You ask ask why? Because every body wears wool and only a very few raise it. Therefore I say the greatest good to the greatest number. And I believe that if we do not have free trade, a reduction in officer's salaries, and several other very im portant congressional acts during the pres ent administration, that both the old par. ties may sing farewelt "Our glory hath departed," and two years hence the people's or third party will elect their president with an overwhelming majority. "So mote be," says C. B. W. Corvallis, Jan. 22nd, 1894. it CHANGE OF FAITH. An unusual incident took place yesterday afternoon at the Christian church, Mr. John Will, the father of our well-known J.

Sharp before the immersion was clear and instructive and was listened to wit, deep interest by all the congregation pres ent. ' J. Wm. Will. WILLING TO DIVIDE. Judge Burnett, attorney for the college, Judges Burnett, McFadden and Hufford, attorneys for the county in the suits against the assignee of the Job bank, and Assignee Bryson, have signified their willingness to make arrangements whereby a dividend may be paid to the creditors of the Job bank out of the funds now on deposit in the First National bank. If these expres sions of willingness are realized an order for the disbursement of a ten per cent, dividend may be expected : to be issued by Judge Fullerton at the adjourned term of court that meets February 1. This will be welcome intelligence to many unfortunates whose all remains tied up from the channels of circulation. HARD TIMES SOCIAL.

Against a man's happiness by his stomach the enemy may be pacified and brought speedily and easily to terms. That potent regulator of digestion, Hustetter's .Stomach Bitters, disciplines the rebellious organ thoroughly. Iucliuestion arises from weak ness of the stomach ami the food in it, for want of the power to digest, decomposes and aciilih'e, giving rise to heartburn, fl.-.tu leuce nnd piin, besides a nuifcitude of symptoms both changeful and perplexing. But peace soon reigns when the great stomachic is resorted to and used with per sistence. Dyspepsia gives rise to morbid discomposure of mind, and even sleepless ness and hypochondria in chronic cases. To the complete dismissal of these the Bitters is fully adequate. Liver complaint, consti pation, debility rheumatism and malaria are completely subdued by this genial medicine. The O. A. C. football team of this city has challenged the Stanford university team, of California, for a test of skill on the gridiron field. Time, Oregon day; scene, mid winter fair. While the boys have, perhaps, undertaken no small task, Stanford will find in them "foemen worthy of their steel." A game between Stanford and the O. A. C.'s would bring our institution intu prominent notice. If the home team should prove successful, Judge Burnett will make them a present of $500 to show bis appreciation of their ability.

ANOTHER WHITE HOUSE BABY. The birth of Esther Cleveland at the ex ecutive mansion will take from Julia Grant, the first-born grandchild of President Grant, her position as the latest born of the daughters of the White House, but it can not rob her of her position as one who is doing honor to the place which gave her birth, writes Alice Graham McCollin in a BKetch, with portrait, of "General Grant's Eldest Grandchild" in the February Ladies' Home Journal. On June 7, 1876, Julia, the child of Gen eral Grant's eldest son, Frederick Dent, and his wife, Ida Honore, was born at the ex ecutive mansion. A month later she was christened in the same building. The baby was given but one name, Julia, in honor of her paternal grandmother, her maternal grandmother, Mrs. Honore, with President Grant acting as sponsors. FOR SALE.
