GREETING AND GOOD BYE.
Spoken at the Commencement
Exercises Last Wednes

"UO, isesar, we, wno are aramt
S.itnte you ! was the gladiator's cry
In the arena, standing face t face
With death ami with the Kotnau popu
lace." Dear friends, this day we enter the arena
and salute you. Like the gladiator, we go
into combat facing the stem realities of life.
19 is indeed with pleasure that we welcome
you to our commencement exercises. We
are glad to have you with ns on this occa
sion, and every member of onr class appre
ciates the interest that you have manifested
in our behalf.
. Dear parents, you are thrice weVmt.
919 kduw tmt you rova
the progress we have mde from year to
: year, and that you now rejoice with us iu
; onr final success.
To the members of the Board of Regents
and the Faculty, we feel that we are greatly
. Indebted for the advantages that we have
enjoyed. Vfe owe it to your kind and con
taat supervision that we have at last
attained this honor. Knowing that you
- jprre 9o3e so earnestly for oni upbuilding,
t we welcome yoa and once more thank you
. for what yon have done for us.
Wkat the future has in store for ns, what
obstacles we must surmount, and what diffi
eulties are to be overcome, we know not;
Vit we oefTsve that the training we have
received during onr school days will aid
ns when we meet them and will stimulate
ns to great success in life's hard school.
Host easily we recall those days when we
Regan- ear ascent of the ladder that we have
since been climbing: Oh, what a distance
' it seemed to the round on which we now
stand! Countless were the steps that inter
vened! But, planting our feet firmly on the
base, and growing in strength, we were soon
enabled to take one step higher, and thus
by degrees we have ascended.
Fellow classmates, we all remember these
steps. Recall the suspense after the ex.im
nations, when we waited to know how
much our instructors thought we had grown
whatjad been our progress whether they
were convinced that we were ready to step
on a higher round. But now these experi
ences are all iu the past; we have reached
the round which takes us into new scenes,
where we shall find other tasks, and where
the lessons to be learned are of a widely
different character from those we
have been studying. In this school we will
not have our instructors to depend upon
when we are in the midst of difficulties.
.We mnst be self-reliant, going forth deter-
- , . X 1 1 i
that "the world is a looking-glass and gives
to each- individual the reflection of the face
lie brings to it; smile on it and it will smile
Ml return, frown on it and it will frown in
return.
And now again to all we extend a hearty
welcome. We fully appreciate your kind
ness in aiding ns whenever circumstauces
permitted. It is through your assistance
VM we have enjoyed countless advantages
thatare afforded only to the few; therefore
as we go out into the world facing the
responsibilities and duties ot life, we will
endeavor so to live that oor lives will reflect
credit upon ourselves and this institution of
learning; We hope that success will be the
reward of our efforts, and that you may
tutve occasion to look with pride apuu the
career of the class of '94.
TALED1CT0BY DELIVERED BY W. FRANK
H0LMAN.
Every beginning mnst have an ending
and every pleasurable duty must find a
lose. Today, for the last time, we stand a
nited class" and must now sever the ties
that have bound us together during four
short, happy -years of school life. Tomor
row we will be alumni, and following where
duty calls; our paths will then begin that
- ill MRMBAA - 1L'flun !n A fanr ira.t-o will
scatter ns far and wide over life's battle
field. Commencement and graduation does not
signify that our education is finished or that
jgar knowledge is complete. Far from it.
We have only mastered that which has
foen attempted. New fields have been
revealed tojus which will require a life-time
of etndy and application. We have only
-risen out of the valley into the foothills
with higher mountains farther on and as
these are m mounted, one by one, others of;
greater magnitude nresent themselves to
view. As we approached from the valley
only the lowest bills were at first discern
able and after these the mountains, so we
can imagine that beyond these discovered,
still greater ones exist which, to the patient
traveler who succeeds in overcoming the
opposing f obstacles, are bound to be filled
with beautiful and luxuriant fields of
thought and rich mines ' of . undiscovered
treasure.
Not only have oar school days been profit
ably spent, but onr environment has been!
.an added source of strength and comfort.
to the good citizens, of Corvallis from
whom we have received so much kindly
.encouragement, we shall ever remain greatly
indebted. At our public efforts you have
ever graciously honored a with your pres
ence aud expressed your approbation. Yon
have rejoiced with ns in onr victories and
extended your sympathies in our defeats.
During our - brief stay your homes have
been open to ns, and we believe the result
will prove a lasting benefit. We are grate
ful for the privileges you have granted us,
and thankful that the O. A. C. was placed
ja your midst. Assuring you that your
, .kindness will ever be treasured in memory's
jhalls, we must bid yon farewell
- To yon, Honorable Board of Regents, we
' shall ever remain grateful for your untiring
efforts in onr behalf, in surronnding ns with
- so many com torts ana advantages, lor pro
TfKHPg such aue ana emcient instructors in
' "etar ' aeveral departments, and for placing
oca excellent and improving courses of
study within oar reach. We thank yon for
tbeee numerous advantages and for your in-
- ierest in onr own and the college's welfare.

- vvisniDg you IOB buhvh U IUD IUIDID
you have enjoyed in the past and hoping
the board may ever, as now, be qpm-
po3ed of men anxious and able to advance
the best interests of our college and of
education in general, we bid you farewell.
And you. Honored President, we cannot
speak too 'highly of jonr kindness and gen
tleness, of your firmness and impartiality,
of your consideration and wisdom jtf'deal
ing with our various shortcomings an"
offenses. We feel that when heroic trea
ment has been practiced it was a necessit
and that on your part no pains have bee
spared to reclaim the wanderer, to reform
the erring and to strengthen the weak. In
you we find a worthy successor to our
lamented President Arnold, under whose
kindlv influence and able instruction we
passei 1 two profitable years. To yon we
feel indebted for the beautiful st.md of
colors with which onr battalion has been
recently presented (by the college authori
ties.) We are urnnd of onr nation and our
national flag and feel honored at being the
first into whose care it was entrnsted.
Fellow c-mrades, let it not bo carried simply
f..r show, bnt carry it hecsnse we love it and
believe that the sentiments which it incul
cates should be instilled into the heart and
life of every American; ynnth. Wishing
you and your administration of the college
the continued success and prosperity which
it deserves, we bid you a warm hearted
farewell.
To you, kind and honored instructors,
who have patiently' guided nnr'wandering
footsteps in thepaths that lead to knowl
edge, we owe a debt of gratitude. Slowly
bnt snrely. step by step, have you led us
into the beauties and intricate depths of ap
plied scionce, and with simple, repeated
and patient explanation have tried to arpnse
onr enthusiasm and develop Sin our nn
trained minds the capacity of full and
thorough understand. Yon fhave been
kind and obliging and even, indulgent to
seenre our ad vancement which has seemed
to be your greatest sr.uro of pleasure.
Though at'times we may have seemed inap -preciative
of yonr pffnrts.'f weihone to be
able to prove that they have not been in
vain.
On the marble tablets of memory yonr
names withjthof e of our classmates, shall b
deeply engraved" in letters, which time and
change of surroundings can:never efface,
each there to remain till life's brittle cord is
severed. Trusting that j on may ever fol
low yonr noble callings with unalloyed suc
cess, and that yon will at life's end be re
warded with the plandit "Well done good
and faithful servants", we must now re
luctantly bid you farewell.
Dear classmates, at last we. have reached
the goal for which we have so long been
striving. The long coveted prize is just
within onr reach, yet we pause a moment
before grasping it. Are we undecided as to
whetherthere will be more pleasure in its
possession than there has lieen in it pursuit?
No; we now find that we are not so anxious
to sever onr connections with our alma
mater as we had anticipated. That act will
mark a new epoch in our lives, the passing
of another mile' stone. It is the passport
from pleasant school days into the active
duties of life. Side by side and full of
hope we have glided through the halcyon
days of school life. We entered collese
from three to five yearsjago. Each launched
and steered his own vessel; but together we
have sailed peacefully onward, following the
same general direction and being borne on
by that swift and irresistable, yet unseen,
nnder-current of time toward that un
known realm our future. Suddenly, and
seemingly too soon. We find ourselves at'the
end of this pleasant jouraeyand all pause
for a moment to speak one last word of
parting, to give a word of encouragement
before entering 'upon the- stormy sea of
reality and experience. But the pause is
only for a moment. Again we pass on and
strike ont boldly on the broad expanse of
lite. As we are bound for different pvts
and each will soon be left to his own re
sources and companionship our directions
will then diverge and we will soon he fur
ther separated by the winds of circum
stances and the calls of duty. We enter
tain no fear of not arriving at the haven
where we would be, for each has been here
fully equipped for piloting his own croft.
It is possible that we may be lost to each
other for a time, yet later pn we will learn
of each others victories and defeats, and
ofttimes we hope there will be happy meet
ings npon the sea of life. Could we but
dissolve the mist which obstructs our view
and peer into the future we would no doubt
be pleased and gratified at the result.
Some of these vessels we should see heavily
laden with the imperishable cargoes of fame
and honor- others with the transient treas
ures of wealth; and not a few we hope like
unto A bow Ben Adhem, crowned by angels
with that royal diadem, "one that loves
his fellow man." Did we possess the power
of choosing the pathways which you are to
follow, how beautiful ami ennobling they
would be not free from all sorrow -nd care,
for no one would be strengthened by such a
life of ease and yon wonld soon cease to en
joy it. , The robe would lose much of its
beauty were it not for "the accompanying
thorn. As nations prove themselves strong
only after surmounting obstacles, so do we
gain strength only in overcoming difficul
ties. Difficulties we must expect to meet
in all new environments, The removal of a
tree from nnwholesome surroundings is a
delicate process and at first somewhat re
tards its growth, yet later on the tree begins
to take new root, showing a brilliant foliage
and a strong, healthy and symmetr-ica1devel-opment
in marked contrast with thn stunted
unhealthy 'growth that had marked it as
one perishing from want of opportunity.
So in life. The passage from one stage into
another with new surroundings may seem
difficult and dangerous, yet it is just what
is necessary . for our development and
growth. Let us never lose sight of our
class motto, "esse quam videra" "To be
rather than to seem;" and no matter in
what condition of life our lot may be cast,
be earnest, be real aud fulfill the highest
ideal that opportunity will allow. - Duty
has been described as the most sublime
word in the English language and in follow
ing its highest - behests we cannot go far
wrong. - Whatever we do, the memory of
our school days should ever be an incentive
toward the good, tke beautiful and the
true. Wishing for each of you a life of
honor and influence, of usefulness to your
fellow-man, and of duty well done, we bid
yon one and all farewell and God-speed.

The "Statesman's" courier, C. B. Craven,"
arrived here on his wheel at 8:30 yesterday
bringing a large and welcome bundle of
morning papers,-which were- disposed of in
very short order. The distance from Sa
lem is about, forty miles and was made in
four hours. The pnsh shown by this en
terprising paper is more than commendable
and is especially appreciated by those who
gleaned the news from its valued columns
whilst eating their breakfast.
One day last week Ed Davis, who lives
on Beaver creek, was coming down the hill
from the Coom sawmill with a load of lum
ber when the brake gave way and the team
ran off. Mr. Davis was violently thrown to
the gronud, .as a result of whiclf he
received a broken rib and a serious shaking
np, but will soon recover. The team was
stopped by Mr. Mercer, who was alsohaul-
'ng luniber,before any further damage was
accomplished.
The unusual number of runaways occur
ring lately certainly" shows a general dispo
sition to be careless by those having horses
in their charge. Ou Wednesday morning a
light rig containing two small children and
draWn by a pair of big grays, came dashing
down Main street and was only stopped
and the lives o the little ones saved by the
courageous effort of bystanders. Less than
half an hour later a team belonging to H.
L. French cut up high jinks . and spilled
out two of his boys and then only desisted
partly because there were half a dozen men
at their heads and partly because there
was no more horses or wagon left, on which
to vent their ill temper.
From Mr. George Mercer it is learned
that bis son, Albert, who lives on Beaver
creek, lost his hoase and contents last Sat
urday aftemoon by' fire. No one was in
the dwelling when the fire broke out and
when first discovered the blaze was beyond
control. He had just laid in a supply of
provisions sufficient to last nntil after har
vest, and from the fact that ' nothing of
value was snved, the loss at this particular
time of the year is all the more serious. It
is bad enough to be left homeless and with
out clothing' and provisions during any sea
son of the year, but just as the busy season
opens it is a great inconvenience. The loss
will aggregate in the neighborhood of $400
with do insurance.
"Cleanliness is next to Godliness" is a
familiar quotation from which our business
men seem to have gathered an inspiration.
On coming np town last Friday morning one
might have seen in front of each business
the proprietor or his chief clerk armed with
a broom and busily engaged in sweeping
the accumulated dust and dirt into little
heaps, which latter in the day were .hauled
away. The result of this cleaning spell is
plainly apparent. Main street now makes
a very presentable appearance and is almost
entirely freed from the disagreeable
dust which has been such a constant source
of annoyance for the past month. It is to
be hoped. that the merchants will take such
cleaning np spells often.
A BUSINESS THAT PAYS
Scenes at the Pioneer Rock
. Quarry Working Day and
; Night Large Orders.
An enterprise that is fast assuming large
proportions is the quarrying of building
stone at the Pioneer quarry in Liucoln coun
ty. Last Sunday a representative of the Ga
zette visited to the quarry and from Supt.
ti. G. Luker, learned that they are unable
to fill their orders as fast as they are com-
g iu. The force of men employed was
augmented this week until now twenty
eight men are engaged in the work. The
men are divided into two shifts and work
nijjht and day and Sundays. Their wages
vary from $1 50 to $3 00 per day. During
the day time, the work of quarrying and
loading cars occupies the attention of the
for while at night the channeling ma
chine is in operation. , This machine is a
great labor-saving invention. It is operated
hy steam power which is generated in a
boiler about a hundred feet distant; runs
ou a railroad track, aud cuts a channel in
the rock to a depth of six feet. These
channels or grooves are cut parallel from
six to ten feet apart and six feet deep.
The rock Js split up into convenient sizes
for shipment.
The stone is gray sandstone of an excel
lent quality for building purposes. When
first taken out it is quite soft and easily
worked but on being exposed to the atmos
phere it becomes hardened until it will
stand a pressure nearly equal to that of
granite. Hereafter with the aid of their
chanueling machine they will be able to
get out from 1000 to 1200 cubic feet per
day.
Alwat 170 cubic feet makes a car load of
ten tons. For this they receive, as near as
cau be learned, 40 cents per cubic foot on
board the cars at the quarry. This stone
is largely being used iu San Fraucisco,
although several car loads have been
shipped to Portland. Nine thousand cubic
feet have beeu shipped to San Francisco
to be used in the c instruction of the
Spicckles building. An order was re
ceived last week for 63 000 cubic feet for
use in the erection of the Parrott building
in the same place. - Some of the stones or
dered for special purposes are of an enor
mnus size, many of them weighing from
ten to fourteen tons each and l&ing suffi
cient to load a single c ir. The company
now have one ship under -charter and hope
soon to have another vessel on thu line.
The quarry is located about 1000 feet
north of Barney Morrison's place on the
Yaquina river. The Oregon Pacific has
constructed a siding and the .blocks of
stone are conveyed directly from the
quarry to the cars by means of a large
steam derrick. The land i owned by J.
M. Howell and the company operating the
business has secured a nine year lease on
the ground. This company is composed of
H. G. Luker, G. W. Davis and W. II.
Alexander, all residents of Salem. The
location of the quarry is a high bluff on
the right of the wagon road and at- the in
tersection of two canons. Several ledges
of an inferior quality of rock are found
above the stone used for shipment, the re
moval of which is necessitated to permit of
the use of the channeling machine. At
paesent the surface upon which the chan
neling machine can be nsed is ah int 100 feet
long with an average width of thirty feet.
This area will be increased as rapidly as
possible to admit of the use of another ma
chine which at present is hardly- practi
cable. For George Lay Aaker, who was
j recently killed by falling from the top of
the bluff down a perpendicular precipice of
fifty feet to the ledge below, a monument
six and one half feet in height is being
constructed by Supt. Luker. The monu
ment is of handsome design and is being
cut from stone taken from the qnarry.
It will be placed at his grave' in Salem.
A large watering trough is also being con
structed on the ground for John Alberts, a
resilient of Salem. From all indications
there is an inexhaustible supply of this
stone and when ouce its excellent qualities
become known to builders there is little
doubt. that it will be largely used. The in
dustry already yields good returns and
promises at a day not far distant to be one
of the leading industries of the growing
county of Lincoln.
Mr. Luker, the superintendent, is a very
pleasant - gentleman, and to him the
Gazette man is under obligations for
favors extended.
Nearing the Grave.
In old age infirmities and weakness hasten
to cloe the gap between us and the grave.
Happily - scientific research and pharmacal
skill have allied themselves in furnishing us
a reliable means of ameliorating the ailments
incident to declining years, and of renewing
waning physical energy. Its name is Hog
tetter's Stomach Bitters, a widely compre
hensive remedy in disease, and an inestim
able blessing to- the elderly, the feeble and
the convalescent. - Rheumatic ailments,
trouble with the kidneys and lumbago aro
among the more common ailments of the
aged. These are effectually counteracted by
the Bitters, which is likewise a prevention
and curative of malarial complaints, dys
pepsia, constipation and billiousness. It is
highly promotive of appetite, 'sleep and the
acquisition of vigor. .. ,.

.The Oregon Racific railroad, that much
malaigned and never sold road, that, to
quote Judge Whalley, "starts in a mud flat
at Yaquina and ends in a snow bank some
where in the Cascades," stands today as
the peer of all Oregon roads. It is the
only road over which trains are running on
schedule time and to which we have to look
for the tidings of time's flight and of the
occurrences in the outside world, for it is the
ooly road that is delivering the mails to
this and .sister cities, and iu the line of
always being thankful for small things, we
are extremely thankful, indeed, when we
hear the welcome toot of No. 11, 13, or 1G,
as the cat-e may be, that we live along the
line of this extremely poor, but extremely
punctual line.
There are excursions advertised, both
east and west, and they will run them too,
and they will be well patronized, fo many
who have planned little outings over other
roads at this most auspicious time, hare
given up in disgust and will take their
lunch baskets and fishing rods and light out
for some cool spot via the Webfoot Route
the route that keeps Corvallis wheat within
a few cents of Portland's.

of interest to many mothers. She says: "I
spent several weeks in Johnstown, Pa., after

being employed there. We had several
children with us, two of whom took the
diarrhoea very badiy. I got some of Cham
berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem
edy from Rev. Mr. Chapman. It cured both
of them. I knew of several other cases
where it was equally successful. I think it
cannot be excelled and cheerfully recom

Why uot lire single? . The desert of life
Is all the nisi e dreary when coupled with a wife.
Its sunrise is perfect. Its beauty we feel.
But, ere midday, the cactus is pricking our heel.
The evening- draws on there is no sifjn of water;
We carry a load 'lis a son ori daughter;
The sun sinks to rest, the shadows descend,
A cajote is heard and this is the end,
Won't some of our young ladies take this

it you must take internal remedies. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts
directly on the blood and mucous surfaces.
Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine.
It was prescribed by one of the best physi
cians in this country for years, and is a regu

tonics known, combined with the best blood
purifiers, acting on the mucous surfaces.
The perfect combination of the two ingredi
