Re cently we published words of commenda tion by Governor Lord in his final mes sage. Below is the final report of Supt. G. M. Irwin to the legislature: "The Since Mr. Waggoner's departure for the frozen north the general public has heard little from him. The following letter gives evidence that he is in good health and equal to any emergency that may arise in that land near the pole, Day before yesterday we sailed forty miles in five hours, the finest ride I ever had. The wind came down from the North quite strong enough for racing and the little ship flew before it as though it had life, and like me was impatient to hear from home. The water rolled about us, dark green, broken here and there : into caps which flashed in the morning sun, scattering sprays of white and some times grains of silver and gold around and upon the deck of our little bark. Nothing seemed wanting to make the morning perfect, nor could the eye re gret the absence of anything in its search for natural beauty. On either side of the channel, as far as the eye could reach, mountain peaks. ' white with the first deep snow of winter rose one above another like kings among the hills look ing down upon their subjects, or priests whose ermine robes in heavy folds lay carelessly about their feet. When the sun first peeped over the mountain tops all was white, down to the waters edge ; but soon the sturdy pines along the shore challenged to wrestle with the northern breeze, threw their white mantles upon the ground and in their dark green native costume resolutely stood, .quiver ing with energy to meet the contest. The rocks near the waves, too strong to feel lhe breeze, still wear their snowy hoods, some of them inclining towards the water pointed do ah withicycles whose prism forms reflected the light throwing prismatic colors along the A shore. The channel was decked here and there with huge floating traginents of glaciers, whose imposing forms suggested ancient toners or ruined palaces. Some were white, some green, and some were blue. Their varied colors being due to different, forms, thickness and angles being presented to view.- Occasionally grotesque forms, denizens of the deep rose to the surface to sport or bask in the sunlight, and myriads of white;winged birds floated idly through the air or with sudden start dived into the waves for a morning meal. Over all there arched the clear, calm beauty of a northern sky and a northern sun shed'a radiance which only such a scene could have been worthy of. It was the sight of a lifetime, and worth a trip.from the antipodes to see. My only regret was that others far away were npfr with me, for "things seen are mightier than things heard." We sailed on, enjoying with keen relish alfthis beauty so lavishly .thrown around us. I held the wheel and Victor. my only ship mate, stood on deck s much entranced as myself. Our journey was nearly done. Another hour's: sail would bring us to our harbor, when sud denly the wind ' freshened almost to a gale and our schooner darted forward like a spirited horse when he feels the spur. A moment later the sun had darkened. Black clouds were rushing toward us and we realized tfiat we were at the mercy of a furious storm. A regular north-wester was sweeping down .1 .1 11 1 1 T. iut cnannei penma us. it came on so suddenly that we had no time to shorten sail or make other preparations so neces sary in such an emergency. I called to Victor to reef the fore sail ; to do this he must lower it. Carelessly it had been allowed to reach and rest against the braces. The increased pressure of the wind held it there, and unaided he could not haul it down. We had all our canvas spread. The schooner was built of oak and sound in every timber, but she creaked and groaned like one in mortal agony and dashed on like a mad steed under the lash. Glancing behind, I saw we were running ahead of the most furious part of the storm, and. even in those exciting moments I could but notice the change wrought in all around us. The storm had not only blotted out all beauty from surrounding objects but had transformed them into sights to in spire terror. The snow-clad peaks, which a few moments before stood in such silent grandeur, were nov swept by the winds which hurled the snow about them ; at moments obscuring them alto gether, at others showing them dimly through the storm angry, seething, and hideous. The waves which had ap peared to caress our little bark as it glided among them now leaped about it, angry and threatening. The icebergs were no longer objects of admiration, but appeared like enemies lying in wait for our approach. Suddenly the waves were seen leaping about a dark green mass a few feet beyond our bow. A quick turn of the wheel aud a harsh grating sound is heard, as we rush past a mass of ice large enough, had we struck it fairly, to have wrecked our boat in an instant. The ice-bound, snow-hooded rocks which lined the shore, appeared no less threatening. We realized that the sea was charged with destruction and -ailed for a moment, doubled his hotly in it effectually keeping the water out while he kept his place by Holding on to the side of the cabin, al'liough the waves covered hint unti1 he sometimes nearly strangled. I had become so chilled that it was with difficulty I kept my place. Several times my numbed hands slipped from the wheel and I feared I should lose control of it'. I thrust my knees between the spokes and by pressing my body against the side of the wheel man aged to control the rudder and keep the vessel before the wind. One difficulty after another we sur mounted, one peril after another " we escaped until hope emerging from de spair was planning herself for flight, But now, as if all the elements had conspired for pur destruction, a new danger threatened. The incoming tide met the storm in the narrow part of the channel and formed what sailors call a tide rift. Wind and wave struggling for mastf ry had thrown a chain oHirige foam crested waves, a cables length in width, from shore to shore. ' lhe waves were leaping it seemed as they had never leaped before, darting against each other to burst in mid air, recoiling only for another spring. It is impossible to de scribe the terror they inspired. For an instant the blood stiffened and the heart stood still. The little ship, as if in mercy to end our suspense rushed in For a moment she quivered beneath the surging mass. Her decks were swept and her sails dipped into the waves, then rose and like a mastiff leaped beyond the rift, darted around the point 'and with her sails steadied by the lessening breeze sailed proudly into port. .' An- hour later we were secure at anchor, and in our little cabin over a cup of steaming coffee laughed over our wild race with the wind, yet even amidst our mirth the thought "obtruded itself that our day's experience was like that of many even of those who dwell far from the perils of the .deep, and we breathed a heartfelt prayer. ''that all who encounter the storms of adversity, all tempest-tossed souls on the. sea of life may weather the storms, gain the port and ride as safely at anchor as does our little ship, today."" not now so irksome to some of the agricultural college located at Corvallis ntudents, from the fact that each Tuesday j presents at this time the boldest front of and Wednesday there is a Senior oration. any of our institutions, and by its past The next on the program is one from our friend Nolan Smith, who is a promising mechanic at the college His subject will co doubt be one of interest. j At the annual meeting of the stock holders of the Benton County Prune Co.. . held last Saturday evening the following officers were elected: E.

Such an institution must be a matter of much slower military growth than mere liter ary work, and this institution has been toiling oo through difficulties and possi bly mistakes until learning by experience, it has become able to say it is ready to be classed with the best. Its literary and practical labors harmoniously blend and bring out the well-rounded man and woman fitted for the struggle of life to wtiich so many are subject." Knocking for Admission. , The question of expansion is being thrust upon the people of Benton county just about as vigorously and rudely as it is at present upon the national govern ment. In the case Ii'erc at home, how ever, the governed are clarnmoring for the consent of the government. Through Representative Nichols, sections of Lane and Lincoln counties risked 'recently to be taken into the foid. Mr. Nichols did h is duty but the request met with so much opposition that it lias, practically been withdrawn. . Now comes Yachats, Lower Alsea and Waldport as penitents asking that they again be given a place in Benton's household, . But tye question is one "or business-not sctinieut, and the petitioners are asked, "In return for the benefits which you will derive from Benton county, what may she expect?" The answer has not proven altogether satisfactory and it is probable that nothing will be accomplished at this session of the legislature. People of Lincoln are deeply in earnest in the mat ter however, and it is believed by those who are in a position to know that such pressure will be brought to bear that the ultimate outcome will be the consolida tion of the two counties. i i-producing vegetables and fruits,.

The California gold mines furnished a high-priced market, and many of the old settlers received as high as $5 per bushel for their apples. But for some reasons their orchards were neglected, the moth and worms took possession, and the apples of the Wil lamette were no longer beard of in the market. There has, however, been a great reviyal in the fruit industries of the state in the last few years, and the prunes, apples, peaches, pears and ber ries of Oregon are attracting the atten tions of the markets of the world, and beginning to be a source ol profit to the grower. While certain portions of our state excel in raising apples and peaches, the prune is at borne in all parts of the state, and especially does the Italian prune reach its perfection in Oregon. It has been well said that the fruit indus try is fast becoming one of the leading industries of the state, and is one that the people of Oregon can well afford to foster and encourage. It is estimated that we shipped out of the state during the year 1898 between 400 and 500 car loads of evaporated prunes, or some thing over 12,000,000 pounds, which have brought to the erowers nearly $500,000 ; and many of the orchards are just com ing into bearing." Beginning with the morning sessior at 9 :00 o'clock exercises were held all day yestereay. Dr. James Withycombe's paper on "Tillage and Leguminous Crops in the Orchard," was discussed by H. M. Williamson, C. K. Schmeltzer and G W. Dimick. Much that will prove of benefit was brought out- in the talks concerning "Evaporation and Evaporators," two of those taking part, T. Bell and C. J. Kurtz lieing inventors of evaporators, which have given splendid results. A paper by Professor Cordley on "The Prune Tree and Its Enemies," and another by H. B. Miller, "The Oregon Apple and Its Outlook" constituted the work of the afternoon meeting. Last night was devoted to literary and musical exercises and an address by Hon. H. E. Dosch. All of the papers read are deserving of special attention and we will give a more detailed- account of the proceedings in our next issue." No Foul Play. Mr. J. H. Wilson returned Sunday from Fall City, whither he had been to investigate reports of foul play concern' ing the disappearance of A. K. Handv. Mr. Wilson says these rumors are un founded and the evidence all tends to prove that the unfortunate man became lost and perished from cold and ex haustion.' The blood stains found, in the snow were across the river and a long distance trom where ' Mandy was last seen. The hunter was thinly clad, Snow began falling early in the evening of the day he was lost, and bp the next morning was three feet deep. It is be lieved that when the thaw occurs in the spring the body will be recovered. Fruit Growers Meet. The .fruit-growers convention just closed at the Agricultural College was undoubt edly the most largely attended and bene ficial gathering of this nature ever held in this county. Nearly 30 counties of the state were represented by the most promi nent and widely experienced fruitmen of Oregon. ' The congress was held under the aus pices of the State Horticultural Society and the State Agricultural College, and papers were furnished and part taken in the discussions by men of practical ex perience and scientific knowledge. The exercises began Wednesday after noon with an address, "Stock for Prune Trees." by S. T. Malehorn, and the inter est aroused by the address and discussion which followed continued to the conclu sion of the convention. J. R. Shepard read an. excellent paper on "Pruning for Different Varieties," the shore spotted with death. We were which called out much discussion. The increasing our speed at every moment but the storm kept pace, bearing with such tremendous pressure our wide spread sails that the bow of the" little boat kept almost continually under water, while the waves swept the deck to the stern. The little door or cubby hole through which the cabin was reached was made by a cut partly in the side of the cabin, which was only a foot above the deck, and partly in the roof of the cabin. This last was closed by a sliding door in. the roof but the opening in the side, about a foot wide and two feet long, was open and a portion of each wave which climbed the deck ran through it into the hold of the vessel. If this continued long enough to fill it we would go to the bottom like a rock. As nothing to close this door could be found, Victor, whose courage had never Horticultural Society completed the after noon . session by electing officers and transacting other business. Wednesday evening's session was one of entertainment as well as business, and music and recitations interspersed the program-. Mayor John Burnett delivered the address of welcome and in the course of his remarks said : "I take great pleas ure in bidding you a hearty welcome to our city and to your college, and I hope this meeting of the fruitgrowers will be most pleasant and profitable. The good book informs us that "iron sharpeneth iron, so a man sharpeneth the counte nance of his friend ;" and in the inter change ot views and laudable conflict oi opinions which are likely to arise in the course of your discussions, one can learn much. With our great variety of soil and climate, our unsurpassed capacity' Will Come Wednesday. It is now' a settled fact that the legis lature, slate officers and the board of regents of the college, will visit Corvallis next Wednesday and great preparations are being made for their reception. Sena tor Daly has arranged with the railroad companies for transportation and a special train wid leave Salem Wednesday morn ing. It will arrive at Corvallis about 10 a. uk They w;ill be met at the entrance to the college grounds by the- cadetjbat talion and band and a committee of citi zens and escorted to the college where they will be shown through the institu tion and grounds. At one o'clock a grand banquet will be spread in the city hall, where appropriate excerises will be held. The train will leave for Salem about 4 p m. Pharmacy Course Endorsed, At a recent meeting of the Oregon State Board of Pharmacy, the following resolutions were unanimously passed en dorsing the course there offered at the State Agricultural College and giving recognition to the graduates from that course : Whereas, The Oregon State Agricult ural College has established a course in pharmacy and chemistry that meets with the hearty approval of this board, inas much as it offers a large proportion of practical work, therefore be it Resolved. That the Oregon State Board of Pharmacy, acting in accordance with sections 5 and 6 of the Oregon pharmacy law as amended, does grant to theTStudents of the Oregon State Agri cultural College who have completed the full course and have received a diploma from said institution, afterth'ey shall have been subjectedUo such, an examina tion, at Corvallis, Ore., as,;. this board may approve, on the completion of the senior year, certificates to act as register ed pharmacists in this slate. Provided, That any student who may have taken the last two years of the course only and who does not hold the regular .diploma from the said institution, on passing the examination aforesaid shall on ly. be granted the certificate of a registered assistant. Heretofore those persons who desired to study pharmacy have been obliged to go to some other state to secure this instruction, but it is now possible to secure this at home This course in no way interferes with the others offered at the institution, for the students which will pursue this course would not other wise attend the institution. In a number of cases students have attended the in stitution to gain the advantages of the chemical work and then have left to take up the study of pharmacy in some other state or in a store. It is expected that these students will be held for a full four years course in the institution.

Anyone wishing a competent man to do light work in the nature of cleaning yard, trimming vines and hedges, etc., can secure such service by enquiring of W.

An advertisement placed in its columns appears in every copy of the paper printed the issue it was inserted. This means 700 copies of your ad. To have 700 dodgers or circulars struck off would have cost you at least $2.00. The ad cost you, say $1.50. But the advan tage don't end here. The paper is placed in the post office and goes into 700 homes, without extra cost to you, where it is read by 3,500 , persons. Suppose you had been able to secure a list of 700 names, which would be no easy matter, the postage alone would cost you $7.00 and your time and envelopes would add another $4,00, or a total of $J3.00. Even the the dodger doesn't command the respect that an attractive, well-printed ad in- a decent newspaper does. Write to the OREGON UNION and get termB.
