About two months ago .your salesman,

given me and hoping for your success,
I remain yours,

The Prohi's Nominate.
Wliile the populists were en
gaged in nominating a ticket
last Saturday at the court house
the prohibitionists were holding
the fort in another part of town
for the same purpose. Rev P.
B. Williams presided over the
assemblage and Rev. Frank
Abram Powell acted as secretary.
A sufficient number had volun
teered to offer themselves up as a
sacrifice", to enable the conven
tion to place a full ticket in the
field, which was as follows:
County judge, A. M. Herbert;
clerk, Prof. H. Sheak; sheriff, J.

adopted favors tariff for revenue

Oakville Republicans.
The republicans of Oakville,
I,inn county, held their regular
meeting on Tuesday evening of
this week. J. Fred Yates of this
city had been invited to deliver
an address. As he was born and
raised in the neighborhood, the
announcement that he was to
speak had the effect of bringing
forth to the muster place a whole
host of his friends and school
mates.'"" Many of them had trav
eled several miles and they were
well repaid for their pains. The
address was able and patriotic,
and brought forth many hearty
rounds of applause from his en
thusiastic listeners. , The Shedd
orchestra, composed of seven
pieces, were present and dispens
ed plenty of music for the occa
sion that would have been credit
able before any audience. Two
carriage loads of candidates on
the republican ticket of Linn
county, were present, and each
responded with short and appro
priate remarks.
Hon. S. A. Dawson and Hon.
A. J. Johnson, candidates for the
state . senate, made rousing
speeches and ably discussed the
political issues of the day. Mr.
Dawson has already served four
years in the state senate and was
elected to that office by one of
the largest majorities ever given
a man in Linn county. This
club, presided over by Jas. Y. Mc-
Cune, is rapidly growing in num
bers and enthusiasm. It is one
of the many florishing republican
clubs of that county, and the
times certainly seem propitious
for a sweeping republican victory
over the river in Linn, in the
coming June election.

tried to enter into negotiations with
Judge- Hufford to perform the ceremony
for less . than the - statutory fee of
$5.00, but the judge refused to entertain
the proposition. Later a certain minister
was induced to perform the job at half price.
Judging from the deportment of sevaral of
the troupe's members on the street, and
from the estimation in which the company
is held by this community, it is somewhat
strange that any of them would indulge in
the formality of a marriage ceremony.

THREE TREES DEDICATED.
One Each to the f Memory of
W. S. Ladd, A. R. Ship
ley, and E. M- Belknap.
Although the wind blew a gale, it did
not deter a goodly number of people from
being present at the college arbor day ex
ercises last Friday afternoon, which had
been postponed from the 13th instant on
account of inclement weather. Some
time ago trees had been planted in honor
of W. S. Ladd, A. R. Shipley and E. M.
Belknap, which were to be dedicated to
their memory on this occasion. On the
veranda of Cauthorn hall, where the
ceremonies began, were seated tti facul
ty, Hon. E. B. McElroy, Mayor McFad
den, William Lindsey, of Washington,
Pennsylvania, aud about two hundred
Corvallis citizens. On the lawn a few
feet distant, and facing the audience, two
companies of college cadets were drawn
up in company front, under command of
Lieut Dentlar, U. S. A. Standing in
double rank at "oarade rest." their nrea-
etice added much to the impressiveness
of the exercises, which tegan with an ap
propriate selection by thejcollege male
quartette. In a brief, but neatly wordedV
address President Bloss dedicated one of
the trees to the memory of Mr. Ladd,
late president of the board. In sketching
his life, reference was made to the many
struggles and privations endured by the
deceased president during the pioneer
days, who arrived in Portland a penniless
stranger and accepted the first work of
fered him that of digging up a stump on
first street for the small sum of ten cents.
He spoke of his untiring devotion to thes
college work, interest in its success and
in a most touching manner referred to
his chnracter as a man and a christian
gentleman. The other tree was then
dedicated by Prof. Letcher to the memo
ry of Mr. Shipley. The life of the late
treasurer was briefly reviewed from th
uiucui uis uiuu 111 101 in mu vermin,
Ohio. He was a fellow law student of
William Windom, late secretary of the
treasury, and Senator Norton, of Ohio,
under Attorney-General Taft He came
to Portland in 1852, with less than fc.oo;
iwas energetic.fattentive to business, was;
twice master of the state grange, a thor
Aufh christian, beloved bv all who knemr'
0 .
I him, and his life was an example which,
I all might follow with profit. "
Superintendent McElroy was introduc-
A q ti I cn1r frtr a C "tit t,ii.e in wliiffl .
i
he paid a high tribute to the late Sena- -tor
Cauthorn, who he said introduced the
arbor day law into the Oregon legislature
and through whose offorts was largely
due its passage. Hon. William Lindsey
followed and gave a brief account of his
travels, covering a distance of 6,000 miles
which he was just J' completing. He ex
pressed himself as highly pleased and
greatly surprised at the beautiful Willam
ette valley, and spoke in commendation
of Agricultural colleges. To illustrate
the advantage of such institutions he de
scribed a visit recently made to one in
the City of Mexico, where American,
plows were in use drawn by oxen. Fol
lowing each were several students en
deavoring to familiarize themselves with
the use of a two-handled plow. In that
country the old fashioned single-handed .
wooden plow is still in use. An effort
mad been made to introduce the Ameri
can plow in various parts of Mexico, but
the attempts, the speaker said, had as a
rule proved unsuccessful, and whenever
in use the natives insist in cuttiug off one
of the handles. For some reason or
other they have no adaptability for learn
ing the use of a plow other than the old
wooden affair that has done duty for over
300 years. -The
assemblage then marched to the
mechanical hall where the exercise
were concluded. After a song, Prof. Co- .
veil in a very fitting address, dedicated
the tree planted in memory of Mr. Bel
knap, late foreman of the mechanical
department, and whose duties had been
performed for a period of nearly three
years under the supervision of the speak- ,
er. He spoke of the fir tree as being so
fitting and emblematic of the life of the
deceased, in that during all season of
the year and under all circumstances it
remained the same; of the esteem in
which he was held by the students, and
whose life was worthy of their emulation .
Should be Re established.
H. F. Fischer, proprietor of the Cor
vJlis mills, recently purchased one and
one-fourth tons of sewing twine, the re-,
maining stock of the Albany flax milL
It is as good an article, as to quality and
finish, as can be obtained in the east.
Considering the large quantity of thread
consumed on this-coast, and the. adapta
bility of the climate to raising the fiberr
the enterprise should be re-established.
The price of labor has row depreciated,
to a point' even lower than when thte
mill was in operation. The failure of the
concern was due principally to . the fact
that twine dealers in San Francisco,
found out that up here in Oregon an ,
article was being manufactured equal in. i
quality to the output of eastern mills,
and was being placed on the market at a
price so low that the California dealers- ;
could not compete with it This led -
them to purchase the Albany plant ,
which has since been closed out, s
