The Oregon state agricultural college and experiment station will hold sn institute in Portland some time . next month. It has been the practice te hold such institute meetings in ths more important pisses in the state. An invitation was extended by the chamber of commerce to bold the next meeting in Portland, and Mr. John M. BIoss, president and direstor of the college, has accepted. No definite time has yet been sst, bnt the institute will probably be held during the latter part of August.

Hitherto the Gazette entertained high regard for John Linger, believing that he was a friend of the newepaper man. But when he allowed himself to be kicked by horss lest Wednesday evening just after ths two local papers had gone to press, he evi denced an unfriendly attitude toward us. It would seem thst without any real incon venience, he could have arranged to have had the affair take place a few hours earlier so that the item could have been published before it was a week old. ' Mr. Lenger seems to .be having bad lack with his ribs, for it is oely about a year since he was laid np for several werks with a similar trouble, caased by fall in his express wagon. Fred ' Adams. - a young Englishman employed on the farm of Wra. Castle, near Philomath, met a shockingly violent and sudden death last Friday afternoon. - 'At the time the aecident occurred, the deceassd was assisting in the nnloadiag of some bridge timbers. These were of green timber, and very heavy. One stick had been safely re moved from the wagon, aad the end of another, the one that did the fatal work, had been laid on the ground, the other end resting on the wagon wheel,, suddenly slip. ped from its . position, knocking Adams down. He fell backward with the heavy timber aoross bis breast, and as the stick rebounded, it struck its victim the second time, ia his face, then rolled off down an incline. He lived only thirty minutes after the accident aud during the most of this time remained unoon scions. He was 23 years of age, a native of England, and came to Corvallis about two years ago. Ths interment occurred Saturday afternoon at the .Newton ceme tery. Gloves! Gloves! Gloves! From 25 cents to 12.00, F. L Miller. ,; See Nolan & Callahan's aU wool fine black iltoef7.50iid10.00.

" Ths morning was dark and heavy clouds overcast the sky, indica ting that the day would be a rainy one, but this did not ssam to. deter the patriotic of Corvallis and vicinity from carrying ; out their plans to celebrate with us. Nor did the unpropitiousness of ths weather dampen the ardor of those who came, for a more en thusiastic obssrvancs of the nation's birth day could hardly havs bseit expected nnder the most favorable circumstances. - The committee of arrangements had worked hard and enthusiastically for the success of the day's exercises and the efforts of its members wsre thoroughly . appreciated. They have the ' satisfaction of knowing that every event arranged for was earned oat as advertissd, and those who celebrated here will long remember the Fourth of 1895, aa being one of the most pleasant days ever spent ia Corvallis. Of course the weathsr was not such as would tend to promote the enjoyment of all, yet the ahowsrs were not heavy, and during the afternoon the sun came out and scattered ths clouds for several hours, affording an opportunity for the im mense crowds to witness the events of ths afternoon without being ia danger of drown ing from the drippings of somsone's umbrella. The parade was to have formed at 9:30, but a gentle shower at that time caused it to be postponed until promptly at 10 o'clock when it moved south on 4th street, ia the following order: Grand marshal and aides, Marina Bsad, national colors, carriages con taining officers of the day, float containing Goddess of Liberty, Hook & Ladder Co.. libsrty oar, : Yonng America Engine Co., float representing the navy, Young America Hose Co., wheelmen, citizens in earriages sad on horsebaak. A conspicuous feature of the procession was the handsomely decorated 'liberty car, containing a bevy of prettily attired little girls representing the states aad. territories of the Union. Ths selection of the girls aad their arrangement was nndsr the charge of the ladies' special committee, of which Mrs. L. Kline was chairman, and excellent taste was displayed. Another feature al most as attractive as the liberty oar was ths float containing Miss Lillian Pomerey, who, elegantly attired, and vary creditably repre sented the goddess of libsrty. and Miss Eva Wiley, who caarmiarly represented our own stats, Oregon. The fire apparatus was tastefully decorated aad added much to the attractiveness of the pageant. Owing to the rain the procsssisn did not eover the ground that was intended. The original plan was to march dowa' Sec. ond street to Jackson, and thsnce west to the court bonse square, where the oration and other literary exercises were to take place.: On reaching Madison street, how ever, the parade moved west to the opera house. Here the exercises were held. Seated upon the stage were the little girls representing the different states and tsrri toriee, and othsrs who wsre to take part en the program. The exercises began with an overture, "The Silver Bell, by ths Marine Band, followed by prayer by ths chaplain, Rev. Geo. F. Plrmmer. Then the children sang in a spiritsd manner, "America," after which Miss Mildred Linville read in a clear voice, with excellent expression, the Declar ation of Independence. When ths children had finished singing "Red, White aad Blue," President BIoss introduced ths orator of the day, Hon. C. K. Wilkinson, of Eugene. Mr. Wilkinson is, perhaps, ths youngest orator in the state. In 1893, he was nomi nated on the legislative tioket in Lane county, several months before his 21st birth day. "Although Lane is a strong republican county, Mr. Wilkinson, a democrat, was elected by a good majority, rnnning some 450 votes ahead of his ticket. He proved himself a competent. legislator, and earned tor himself an enviable reputation as an orator. His address here was indeed a mas terly effort. While his oratory was hot of the spread egle sort, his address abounded in lefty thoughts and patriotic sentiments aad there was muoh in it ef practical worth. The wrapt attention paid the speaker throughout the thirty minutes consamed ia delivering the oration, was an evidenoe thst his remarks were heartily appreciated " by the vast assemblage. When Mr. Wilkinson had finished, ths band playsd another beau tiful seleotion, and the audience, was dis missed. ' ' - ' '' - At 1 o'clock the. baby show occurred at the opera house..;. Eight mothers ' were on hand with thsir youngest born, each anxious to secure for her child the $5.00 cash-, prize, and with it the honor of being, he mother of the handsomest; baby - in -Beaton - county Each of ; the little contestaate seemed alive to tha situation, for each wore its prettiest smils, and behaved its best, apparently in the hope of coa-vinoing the I judges that was the prettiest babe in the lot.

Throw ing the 16-ponnd hammer for a prize of $5, came next, with the following entries: F. J. Oberer, L. Eelsay, B. Harris, G. Ohphsnt and Theo Bohanon. Oberer won with a throw of 09 feet. ? ; ; : : The two above coatests occurred on the vscsnt lot on the corner of Third and Jack son streets, and wbea they were concluded the crowd returned to Second street, where the sporting program was completed. The next event was the boys' 100-yard race - for a cash prize of 95.00. O wing to the rain the track was hsavy aad sloppy aad the time made in the races was necessarily slew. .The boys enteviaa- th mm werey r.: GeW latly, El wood Clark snd G.-BV Woods. The ratter won in'132'seooads. r" - . - Ia the 100-yard-handicap that followed, Fred Oberer won in 10f seconds. ' The en tries were, G. W. Woods, Fred Oberer, Clyde Beach and J.

In the fat mens' race for a cash prize of $5.00, there were seven eatries, as follows: B. Harris, JL. J. Brown, C. L. -Hacker, Capt. Bert Hatch, Marshall Allan, W. H. Bryan aad J. Walksr. Ths first hsat was won by Capt. Hatch, but owing to some hitch in the start the judges ordered the raee run again. In the second heat, Hatch failed to show up, aad Marshall Allen was declared the winner. The quarter of a mile foot race for a $25 gold medal was wen by Fred Oberer, this being his third prize for the day. The other entries were, G. W. Woods, Chas. Bohanon, Juliaa McFadden and Percival Nash. . In the 440-yard bicycle raes, Brady Bur nett won by a scratch, his ' brothsr, Bruce, coming in a olose second.

By a leap of 8 feet, E. T. Wood won the pole vault and a cash prize of $10.00. The catohmg of the grsassd pig' was the last event of the afternoon, and it proved te be intensely interesting. In this . contest Marshall Allen, H. Bryan, C. Clark aad C. L. Hayker were the only ones wishing to distinguish themselves.

The anticipated departure within a few weeks of Miss Leon Louis for her Indiana home was made the occasion of a pleasant party given by the "Maids of the Mist" on Monday evening. Miss Louis bad organized this social and literary club, and acted as its president during the winter. : The members, with s few gentlemen friends, met at Miss Aimee Ly ford's at half past five snd from there walked ever to the grove across Marys river. - Here a lunch was served under ths trees and a happier party never gathered about a sylvan board. After respects had been paid to the refreshments, toasts wsre ia order, and the original poem detailing the history of the "Maids of ths Mist," rscited by Miss Louis, captured the hearts of her hearers. As the shades of night were gath ering, Chinese lanterns wsrs lighted and hung among the .frees, stories and songs filled in tha interim uutil the moon arose, when the party wended its way homeward A. C, True, director of all the government experiment stations, with -headquarters at Washington D. . C, :arrived in .Corvallis Saturday; rsmaining- nntil . Tussday noon. Mr. True ia chief of the sub-division of the department of agriculture having control of the experimental station work throughout the country, and is now on an official tour of inspection of the differeut stations, number ing in all fifty-three, xhe hrst one visited this trip was ths . Minnesota station. Coming westward, hs has inspected the work at the stations in North and. South Dakota, -Montana, Idaho and Washington. From here he goes te Utah, tbance to Den ver to attend the annnal meeting of the asso ciation of Amsrioan agricultural colleges and experiment stations, that convenes tha 16th inst. Prof. True is very much pleased with Ore gon, especially the Willamette valley whose green foliage and waving fields of ripening grain, famish a striking contrast to the bar ren,' sandy deserts which he has recently traversed. When asked regarding the work at the Oregon experiment station, ha had no criticisms to offer. The result of bis in vestigations would be reported in detail to his superiors; such information as hs had ob tained, not being deemed proper matter for publication at this time. He, however,' ssemed to be pleased with much of the work carried on in Oregon. . On acoonnt of our favorable climitio conditions, this was an exceptionally good field in which to carry on experimental work, and Prof. True anti cipates that . the world of agriculture will derive much valuable information from tha scientific investigations that are now being1 carried on here. The work of the agricultural colleges and experiment stations has already resulted ia benefitting the agricultural interests of the country to a great extent. These benefits will increase as the investigations which have only begun, are carried on to a success ful termination. Mr. True believes that changss in the personnel of the faculty should rarely be made. Much pains, how ever, should bs taken in the selection of ic. struotors, to secure the best men obtainable. Those connected with the station work should bs especially well qualified fer the duties thsy are required to perform. Those experienced in scientific research and inves tigation will accomplish mors good for the institution and be of far more value to the agricultural interests than ths inexperienced ones. The demand fer ths ssrvicss of the former class is growing eaeh year, snd, with this increased demand, there has been a steady advance in salaries, so that now, to attain the best possible results, colleges, particularly thoss in which the scientific course is made most prominent, are required to raise ralaries rather than decrease them. Mr. True says that the salarias paid in Ore gon are much lower thaa those paid at most of the agricultural colleges of the country. He also stated that in establishing these in stitutions the federal government expected the different states to bear a fair share of ths burden. So far the states havs not done this, although in some few instances, they have made liberal appropriations for the oarrying on of experimental work. In any avent they are expected, since they receive sash magnificent endowments from the fed eral government, to furnish the needed buildings and apparatus. In this regard, Mr. True intimated that Oregon bad been somewhat neglectful of hsr duty. Before returning to Washington, Professor True intends visiting the stations ia Utah, Colo rado, Wyoming, - Nsbraska and, perhaps. Kansas. The duty of inspecting the work at the other stations will be delegated te assistants. COTJWTY COURT. Upon the petition of T. W. B, Smith, Elvin Witham and others residing ia the county, R. C.

There seemed to have been more pains taken with the decorations in honor of the occasion this' year than formerly, nearly every business house in town making a liberal displry of flags, festoons of bunt ing and patriotic emblems'. A detailed de scription of the decorations would require columns of spaoe to do them . justice. However, the stores that were especially noticeable for the attractiveness ef their displays were these of S. L; Kline, Hodes k Hall, F. A. Alexander, the Gazettjs of fice, and G. F. Cecil, the decorations of the latter, being without doubt the most elab orate ef any. The windows, and, in fact, the entire front of Mr. Cecil'a establish ment was beautifully ornamented with flags and bunting. In the large show window was the proprietor's little 2-year-old girl, Vera, who looked like a miniature Goddess of Liberty in her dress and drapery of na tional colors.
