The Fossil Journal tells this story on
Mr. E. Jacobsen of this city, who is
making a business tour through the
counties south of The Dalles :
The ladies of Mayville tackle every
drummer that comes along the roud for
a donation to their church now being
built, and so potent are their blandish.-,
ments that every knigtit of the grip they1
have approached to date have pungleu
up something or other. Their latest
victim waB E. Jacobseii of The Dalles.
He told them he had a fine $10 stove in
his store in The Dalles he would like to
give them, but he had no way to haul it
out. The ladies told him he need not
worry about the hauling, as freight teams
are going between The Dalles and May
ville all summer, and they could easily
get some friend of the church to haul
the stove out. Jakey rather felt that ho
bad been buncoed, but he had made the
proposition which they accepted, and
what more could he door say?

Mr. Win Curtis, son of Rev. W. C
Curtis, iB among thoee who has brought
credit to his friends and to the city he!
claims as his home. Mr. CurtiB wasl
for several years a student of the Wasco
Independent Academy in this city, and
from thence went to Tualatin Academy at
Forest Grove to complete his prepara
tory course. He then began study in
Pacific University, in the same city,
where he remained two years, and going
from there ho entered the junior class
of WilliamH College, in Massachusetts.
.While at Forest Grove, under the influ
ence of Prof. Lloyd, he became interest
ed in Biology, which interoat became
greatly increased by the larger opportu
nities furnished at Williams. lie Bpent
his junior vacation at Woods Holl, Jiuz
zirds Bay, at the Marino Biological
Echool established there in conncctson
wth the Smithsonian Institute, and
this year he goes back with the position
for the summer of collector of specimens
f6r the associated colleges. He aleo has
a position a representative of tho col
leges on tho U. S. Fish Commission.
"HiB college class has hadrat-onOtlme
and auother, 110 members. The num
ber at graduation was seventy, among
whom he ranked eighth in point of stand
ing. He has also been chosen a member
of the Phi Betta Kappa Society a soci
ety of poBt-graduates having chapters in
several of the leading colleges of the
East. The society is nominally secret,
but is in reality literary and honorary,
none being eligible to membership who
have not attained a certain rank In col
lege work.
Mr. Curtis has not fully decided as to
his permanent work for tho future, but
Prof. Lloyd, of Pacific, and Prof. Peck,
of Williams, both predict lor mm a
bright future in lines of biology, should
he wish to engage in such pursuit.
The theme of his graduating oration
was "The East and tho West," a sub
ject on which, from his experience of
both, he may bo expected to speak with
discrimination. He certainly Is not
wanting in enthusiasm for Oregon.
We congratulate our young friend on
the success he haB achieved.
