Editor -Chronicle:- Mr. Ernest Miller,, whose illness J mentioned last week, left, this world, to try the realities of the next, between 9 and 10 p. ml "Feb. 17th. The funeral was conducted at the College about 9 a. m. the next day by Dr. Thompson of Corvallis. . Of course there were no reci tations and the students walked in a sad company to the O. P., depot, bearing with them the lifeless remains of their highly esteemed schoolmate. The story of a strong young man may be told in a few words : "He came to college for an education, but was taken home for burial." Mr. J. Ii. Mott of New York, - general secretary of Y. M. C. A., stopped at Corvallis Thursday afternoon and organ ized an association iu the O. A. C. The first state convention of the Coi lege Y..M. C. A., met in the State Cap itol building at Salem, Oregon; Feb. 19, 1892. ' Following are the colleges repre sented and number of delegates from each: Albany Collegiate Institute 28, McMinnville College 17, Pacific College 16, Pacific University 17, ' Portland Academy 8, Portland University 22, State Normal 30, State University 9, and Willamette University 21 to 85. The Alumni of Princton, Williams, Wesleyan, Oberlin, Wheaton, North Western, Bethany Penn., and several other col leges were represented. There are 968 young men iu the ten colleges that were represented in the convention, 500 are now students. The convention was conducted by four young men from a distance: J. R. Mott of Cornell Uni versity; S. M. Sayford, of Boston; Harry Hillard, college secretary of Cali fornia and Jas. A. Dummett,. traveling secretary Pacific northwest. - Mr. Sayford gave his "confidential talk to young men" Saturday evening in the Assembly hall of the state capitol About 400 were present and of that number fully 300 took the "higher ground stand" promising to quit smoking cigar- arettes or give up some other bad habit that is spoiling them. Harry Hillard led the Sunday con Be cration service, in which prayer was of fered by twenty different delegates, and such songs as "I gave my life for thee," and "Jnst as I am without one plea," were sung by a packed audience. ' I should like to write of the fourteen young men who volunteered to be For eign Missionaries, in fact all about .this great conference of students, but I have not the time to do so. The following college presidents and proffessors made brief speeches ; Presi dent McClelland of the Forest Grove school ; President Stratton, of Portland. University ; Prof. Shaw, of the State Agricultural college ; Prof. Jessup, of Pacific College; Prof. Lee, of Albany Collegiate Institute; .President Whitta ker, of Willamette University ; Presi dent Bronson, of McMinnyille College; President Campbell, of the State Nor mal, and, in the absence of a proffessor, the State University was represented by a student who was warmly applauded. The chairman of the Executive com mittee, the pastor of the M. E. Church of Salem, and several others made; short speeches. . When I say that Prof.' Lee of the Albany Glee Club led the music, and that we all visited the Insane Asy lum and State prison, I just as well quit for this time. Bukchgbass. Views of the citv and also of Celilo Falls for sale by Hunt at 128 Court St. 2-25-3t . A Supreme Conrt Decision. Yeeterday's telegraphic news reported a decision of the supreme court in the case of McLeod vs. Scott which was carried up from-,,Sherman county in which the decision of the lower court was affirmed. Some time ago Neil Mc Leod applied in the - usual regular way to the county court of Sherman county for a retail liquor license. The court re fused the license holding that .the law was not mandatory. It was carried up to the supreme court at Pendleton and that court' decided against the county court's decision. McLeod sued out a writ of mandamus but Judge Boise, presiding over the circuit court of this Judicial district, decided that a , writ of review was the proper remedy. This is the decision, so far as we can learn from the meager telegraphic report, that has just been affirmed. McLeod's attorney at- this place thinks the decision does-O' not .affect . .the question of the ability "of th&'; plaintiff- to -compel the County court of Sherman county to. gran t the license .demanded. The Demorest Medal Contest,. A good bouse greeted - the contestants for the Demorest medal, last night. After the singing of a few selections Mrs. Smith French, in a few well chosen worda explained the 'origin and objects of these contests. W.-J. Demorest, a wealthy resident of New York city,, con ceived the idea, : some few years ago. The books from'- which -the selections are made as well as all the medals are famished entirely at Mr' Demorest's expense. r Not ;less than eight ''persons are permitted to enter a contest. ' In the present case' a silver medal' is : the re ward. The victor in this contest will drop out of the next and transfer the medal to the winner. After eight per sons have won tke silver medal they may contest for a gold medal on the same general method. The gold medal ists may then contest for a gold diamond studded medal which is permanently re tained by the winner. Nine young persons had prepared for the contest last night. One for some cause dropped out, leaving eight. The programme already published in the Chronicle was gone through with this exception. .. The following are the names of the contestants: Georgia Sampson, Lortne Lee, Ruth Fisher, Archie Bar nett, Pearl Butler, Daisy Alloway, Neddy Baldwin and Nona Rowe. The prize was well and ably contested. The only regret was that each could not have had a medal. Where all did so well it was no wonder the judges, took some time to settle who should have the' prize. . Fin ally Judge Bennett appeared and an- j nounced that the judges tiad awarded it to Miss Nona Rowe and Mrs. Smith French presented it to the young lady in a short and appropriate speech. . The subject matter of these contests cannot fail to have a' good moral effect. The tendency and object of the -contests are wholly in the interests ftf. sobriety and temperance As such thej. deserve the sympathy of every good citizen Many will .be pleased to -learn that another contest, is expected to .'come off in the near future. - The Slic-Mac Glee Club promise a rich musical treat to all- who attend the concert to be given next Monday even ing, the 29th, for the benefit of St. Paul's Sunday school. Miss Lang has kindly assumed . charge of the instrumental portion of the programme, and Mrs. Loch head is training the vocalists. Miss Meyers will sing a very bright and prettv new song called "The" Devoted Apple' Mrs. Bradshaw has been good enough to promise a vocal solo, and a contralto solo will be given by Miss Crandall. Mr. Charles Clark, assisted by Messrs. Win terton Curtis, and Victor Marden will make the Court house ring with the stirring strains of "Nancy Lee.", The nrst half of the programme will conclude with a duet by Mrs. Varney and Miss Meyers. 2-25dlt Something new Pabsts Bohemian Milwaukee Beer only one bit a, bottle.
