If weather conditions are favorable
hop. picking will begin about the 10th
of September, The growers seem to be
pretty well agreed that not more than
forty cents per box will be paid for
picking. They say that for several years
the pickers were the only ones who got
anything out of the hop crop. They
made wages while the growers were
losing money, so that even though hops
bring a much better price this year the
pickers should be satisfied with a 40-cent
rate, at which good wages can be made
in the excellent condition of the yards,
The sad news was received in Albany
the first of the week, telling of the death
of Miss Mary Cundiff, at Ruston, La.
Miss Cundiff was a graduate of Albany
College, leaving that institution in 1893,
she v as also a graduate of Willamette
University in the course of oratory. In
1897 she went to Chicago, completing
course in oratory iu that city from where
she went to Ruston to take up the woik
of teaching. Miss Cundiff was a talented
woman and the announcement of her
death was received with much regret by
her many friends, not ouly in her old
home in Albany, but in Corvallis and the
vicinity as well.
Colonel John T. Grayson, the veteran
mining man and promoter said recently
in the columns of the New York Trib
une : "The outlook in mining has never
been brighter than it is today, and the
opportunities for sound investments
have never been better. The beauty
about our mines is that we have no
stock gambling propositions in Oregon
We work our own mines, and wo work
them for busiuess purposes. Some of
the best paying gold mines in the coun
try are in Oregon. I predict that within
the next two years this country will be
just the same as California during the
old Comstock boom. It will be ' the
banner mining camp of the world."
That the OAC has in : its faculty men
whose influence is more than state-wide,
and whose efforts are appreciated, is at
tested by the following deserved tribute
from the Pendleton East Oi egonian :
Prof. Shaw was one of the men to whom
the Grande Ronde valley owes the start
ing of the beet sugar industry, for he
persistently maintained a course of expe
riments for several years, and did as
much as any man towards the final re
suit that has been attained. He has
made the government experiment sta
tion of practical utility to the ' producers
of the state and the coast generally, and
that is quite generally the : opinion
throughout the state of Oregon."
A. C. Miller, the genial postmaster of
King's Valley was in town Friday. In
speaking of the possible damage to the
grain in his district from recent rains,
he said tnere is some uneasiness among
farmers but no damage has yet been done
Preparations had been made for the be
ginning of the threshing season last
Monday, but the showers prevented.
Mr. Miller has 1500 bushels standing in
the shock, Dick Dunn has as much in
the same conditions and there are nu-"
merous other smaller crops. There was
considerable spring wheat sow,n in the
valley, and this will be benefitted by the
rain. V
It is' not popularly known that fruit
acids are germicidal. The juice of lemon
and linie is deadly to cholera germs as
corrosive sublimate, or sulphur fumes,
or formaldehyde, or any other disenfect
ant. , It is so powerful a germicide that
if the' juice of one lemon or lime be
squeezed into a glass of water, that is
then left standing teq or fifteen minutes,
the water will be disinfected-; it makes
little difference where the water has been
obtained, or whether it has been boiled
or filtered. This is a fact worth knowing
for any one in the vacation season may
find himself under circumstances in
which it is impossible to get either
water of known wholesomeness or boiled
or filtered water. In such a case the
juice of a lemon or lime will purify the
water perfectly. '
Things have been buzzing very lively
in the new mechanical hall out at the
college during the "week. .The two new
tea-horse" power motors that run the
machinery of the woodwork' and machine
rooms were put in motion , Monday and
the several new machines of each de
partment were tried, The machines are
all of the best and ' latest pattern and
their equal can be found only in the
leading machine shops of the. country.
The colkge printing department is also
now stationed in its new quarters and
and the college printers are taking
advantage of their new -surroundings.
The "mechanical students of the OAC,
from; henceforth will have far better
advantages than has ever been offered
before and the institution in general will
no longer- take a back place with any
similar school.
The sawmill still continues to do a
rushing business and many thousand
feet of lumber are turned out each day.
Nothing points more strongly toward a
revival of better times than to hear the
busy hum of our factories and mills. Mr.
Strong, the manager, has on his payroll
at present, over 45 men who receive
from $1.50 to $2,50 per day. Besides
the crew kept constantly at work in the
mill, he has in charge three logging crews
up the river, whose names' are listed in
the payroll and who work constantly in
preparing logs for the mill. Most of
the men have families to support and
hence their subsistence depends largely
on the Corvallis sawmill and its success
This all means that the sawmill under
its present management serves as a well
deserving benefactor, and is worthy of
the patronage of the builders and con
sumers of the city. While Mr. Strong
sells all, or nearly all the lumber he
turns out, yet nearly all this is shipped
to distant points, but little of it being
consumed at home. The promoters of
home industry and those who need lnm
ber should remember that in order to
encourage local advancement, one must
patronize home trade.
Regular services at the Christian church
Lord's day Aug. 20th. Preaching by the
pastor, morning theme, ''The Teaching
of Jesus regarding the Kingdom," in the
evening, '-'Distinctive Peculiarities of the
Christian Church." , All are invited.-
Miss Ida Maxwell, who attended the
OAC last year and who was appointed by
Gov. Geer as Oregon's representative at
the Oread Institute in Massachusetts,
has returned home. She graduated at
the eastern institution and received the
degree given the graduates of the house
hold economy department.
Some remarkable specimens of wheat
and oats were left at this office Monday,
They were taken from the fields of Mr,
Wm. Toole, 4 miles east of Corvallis,
the oats having been raised on a piece of
beaver dam land, 11 acres of which
averaged 92 bushels to the acre. This
land which was little more than a swamp
four years ago has been drained and re
claimed by Mr. Toole. The wheat was
raised on what had been an old orchard,
and averaged 72 bushels per acre.
The recent continued rains have
caused much anxiety among the farming
class of the community. The rain began
on Sunday and could scarcely have come
at a worse time. This is the opinion of
the wheat men and hop growers of the
community. The threshers were all
drawn ou the fields, some of them had
begun work while the others were in
readiness to start up Monday morning,
The fall grain is all in the shock and
should the rains continue it will be
damaged by the rain. Thus far no
damage has resulted either in the hop
yards or wheat fields, and a few days of
sunshine ill put all in better shape
than ever. Spring wheat, that two
two weeks ago had but little prospect
whatever, is in fine condition, the grains
are much plumper, and the yield of
spring wheat will be much more favor
able than was expected. Hop picking
will begin about the middle of Septem
ber, about two weeks later than last year,
threshing will be detained nearly as long.
The weather people say the present
downpour is the wind up of the Porto
Rican storm, and that it is only a ques
tion of a little while till it will blow over,
It is hoped anyway, that the rain will
cease soon for the good of everyone, for
when the farmer fails, it becomes abso
lutely necessary for us all to quit buying
chewing gum.
BURIED AT SALEM.
Frank Crawford Laid to Rest at the Home
of His Childhood.
Death, that visitor as old as Time,
whose coming we all expect, and whose
blight we all must feel, ever is un
welcome and ever finds us uuprepared.
The dear one whose heart is chilled by
his icy clutch may meet him bravely
and with resignation, but it is the living
hearts bereaved that are torn and bleed
ing. Let the departed be young and full
of vigor ere his death, and the community
is shocked and friends refuse to be com
forted; So it is in the sudden passing
out-of this life by Frank Crawford. But
one short week and the transition from
joyful, vigorous, youthful life to the cold
solemn hush of death is complete.
Sunday morning, August 6th, found
him ailing and by noon the severeness
of the attack compelled him to go to bed.
A physician was summoned who pro
nounced the malady peritonitis. Men-
day anxious friends were told the patient
was no better, and as the days wore on
and no improvement was noticeable a
specialist was call ed to advise with the
home physicians and all that human
skill and friendly aid could do to relieve
J.he sufferer was done. Racked with pain
and coascioua of the serious ness of his
condition, Frank bore his suffering man
fully, uncomplainingly ; and bravely
waited death. "I am not afraid to die,"
be said, when loved ones with choking
voices told him he must : go, and the
watchers at his bedside were buoyed up
by his ever cheerful manner and quiet
fortitude. Sunday morning, August
13th, at eight o'clock the fihal summons
came, and . young, manly, kind-hearted
Frank was dead.
The funeral services were held at the
family residence Tuesday morning at 10
o'clock. A short impressive sermon by
Dr. Thompson, prayer by Rev. Noble,
and beautiful singing by the Presbyterian
choir completed the simple services
which were listened to by a host of
friends of the departed. The casket was
deposited in the hearse, and escorted by
Valley Lodge No. 11, Knights of Pythias,
of which order Frank was a member,
the procession moved with solemn slow
ness . to the C. & E. depot where the
funeral party took their . places in a
special car chartered by Valley Lodge
to convey them . to Salem where the
interment was to be made.
Thirty-six Knights from Valley Lodge
accompanied the party. These brothers
in the heart to 2 rank felt his loss
scarcely less keenly than did the im
mediate family and every hour of his ill
ness and during the solemn watches after
death found these faithful friends ever
near him. Their vigil was unrelaxed
until the body was returned to earth
which gave it.
At Salem the funeral party was met by
members of Central Lodge and the casket
was taken to their hall where it re
mained until six o'clock when it was
conveyed to the cemetery for burial.
Here the lieautiful services of the Knights
of Pythias were held. Dr. Lester de
livered the inspiring lines of the Prelate
set down in the ritual, the choir from
this city sang softly "Only Waitine" and
the last farewell was said. The mound
was heaped with fragrant flowers, and
lovely set pieces, tributes from friends in
Salem.
Frank H. Crawford, was the youngest
son of Mayor J. W. Crawford. He was
born in Salem, Or., December 9, 1877,
For some years the family lived at Uma
tilla Indian reservation, where Captain
Crawford was U. S. Indian agent, but
later they returned to Salem, and here
Frank resided until 1895 when his father
became purchasing agent at the OAC,
and the family moved to Corvallis.
He graduated trom the Agricultural
college in the class of '98. Frank neads
no eulogy where he is known. The per
sonal loss felt by the entire community
and the universal sympathy extended to
the family speak most eloquently of his
worth. His kindly disposition, cheer
ful manner, gentlemanly behavior and
noble character bound his associates
more closely to him than they realized,
and claimed for him. the. esteem . of all.
He leaves a father, mother, brother, and
two sisters.
IT WAS A GALA DAY.
CORVALLIS OUTDOES ALL SISTER
" TOWNS WITH HER WELCOME.'
Five Thousand People Take Part
In The Reception. Addressed
By Congressman Tongue.
Last Frid ay was a gala day in Corval
lis. At an early hour people flocked
into the city in all directions from the
country, to aid in welcoming the volun
teers home again.' The stars and stripes
floated from every mast, bunting and
flaes adorned the public buildings and
homes, the small boy popped his fire
crackers during the entire day and tak
ing it all in all, it was a glorious recep
tion, a kind of Fourth of July in fact on
the 11th of August.
At 10 :30 the cadet baud gave a con
cert near the Occidental and did tkem-
selves credit by rendering as good music
as this organization, has ever given
After the concert the band led tho great
concourse of people to the college
grounds from where Prof. Earlston was
scheduled to make an ascension in his
balloon, but owing to the strong north
wind the professor was unable to make
the ascent and the crowd were obliged to
return disappointed, with the promise of
witnessing the parachute leap in the af
ternoon. . , -
When noon came there was a grand
spread of edibles at the court house
grove and both city and country united
in doing ample justice, to chicken,
pickles, .sandwiches, cake, pie and scores
of other delicious things that only a hun
gry stomach on a picnic day can appre
ciate.
At 1:30 the parade occurred. The line
was formed at the city hall, being led by
the college band followed by a eompany
of cadets in arms, a body of ' school
children bearing flags, then the Grand
Army corps, the volunteers under com
mand of Sergeant Thurston, and the
carriage coutaining the orator of the day
and officers of the occasion. When the
triumphal arch which spanned the street
at the Allen s Woodward corner was
reached, a counter march was formed
and as the old soldiers
and volunteers passed under it,
they were showered with roses and
flowers by a group of little girls who
stood on a platform in the arch. It was
a beautiful ceremony and those who wit
nessed it received an impression from
the scene that will not be soon forgotten.
At 2 p. m. the exercises of the after
noon opened at the court house square.
In the absence ot Mayor Crawford, J. B.
Irvine acted as presiding officer. The
-address of welcome was read by Dr.
Thompson, Harry llolgate responded in
behalf of the volunteers, The address of
Mayor Crawford contained in part :
It is a very pleasant duty that has
been delegated to me to perform, on be
half of our citizens on this occasion, tli at
of extending to you the home welcome..
To you that have ' parents here, any
words that I could speak will be feeble,
and as idle tales lightly told, in compari
son with the welcome that has already
been extended to you by the loved ones
at home.
Boys, from the time you left Manila,
we followed your trail as well as we
could from the meager dispatches we
received. We were just as eager for
news as you were to find the Filipinos
in the open country, and when the Ore-
gonian arrived, the page of telegrams
was eagerly scanned to see where the
Second Oregon was, what they had been
doing, who was wounded, or killed, not
that "we were anxious to hear that any of
you had fallen by the way. Like the
the tramp at Pasco, we kept our eyes
upon you, until Malabon was reached,
we read of your splendid courage, and the
grand charges you made there, of your
killed and wounded. .' Our thoughts and
anxiety were particularly directed to our
Corvallis boys, but I would like to
whisper in your ears that we were proud
of all the men in the Second Oregon.
When you were' attached to the flying
brigade under the gallant fighting Law-
ton, we followed you in your course
through swamps and jungle, as you
passed on up the Grande Pampamga
river. Our sympathies - followed you
when you were making -those forced
marches by day and fighting by night.
We that have been there, thought of
your scant rations by times, the suffering
from heat, thirst and hunger, when
many of you thought . in your
hearts that death would be a relief.
Yes, boys, we are proud that Oregon
furnished some of the pall bearers, to
help ' move the corrupt old carcass of
despotism from, the face of the earth,
that has been blocking the wheels of
advancement in the Orient for the past
three centuries, and we gladly and
cheerfully welcome you home from the
funeral. Now that you are home, our
earnest prayer is, that the white angel,
of peace may be restored, and the boys
will all come sailing home.
"Boys, you have had a grand welcome
since your proud ship cleaved and cut
the waters of the Golden Gate, your way
home has been strewn with flowers,
honor and acts of kindness have been
showered upon you, and if you will per
mit me, I will just say a word or ' two at
this time for you to think about in the
quiet of home. Look out for j our heads.
See that all this fulsome outpouring of
the grand triumphal entry, and home
coming does not surmount your nian-
hood, and rattle your brain. Remember, ;
boys, that the screen has beea removed,
and all at once your life work stands
before you ; be men in all the walks of
life, as you have been in camp and orf
the field of battle, remember that this
greeting and praise will last but for a
day, as compared to the life before . you.
Be men, and may the good reputation
you have brought home with you," ever
grow brighter and brighter as the years
pass swiftly by. Boys, with - all my
heart I extend a cordial welcome." S
The address of the day was delivered
by Congressman Tongue. - It was ah
eloquent address and . was most-highly
appreciated. He said in part:
''Governments must be carried on.
Officers must be elected, laws must be
enacte d, national history will be made.
If good men will not do these things, bad
men will. But bad men will elect bad
officers, pasB bad laws and make bad
history. .' Writers and educators some
times imagine they are tlping their full
public duty because engaged in diffusing
general intelligence and advancing the
education of the masses of our citizens.
It is said that the safety and welfare of
the state, the perpetuity of free institu
tions, and especially of government by
the people, are in the general intelligence
of its citizens. This is a statement of
only one-half the truth. Intelligence in
a voter is essential to the preservation of
free institutions, but it must be intelli
gent acting, not intelligent onlooking.
Intelligence and thoughtfulness alone J
did not win a glorious victory at Mala
bon, but action, terrible and effective
action.- Intelligence must be wielded
and directed to the object to be accom-
piisnea. vn en Greece ana Kome were
tottering to their fall, through all the
period of decay, there was more science,
more art, more lilerature, mare eloquence
culture, refinement, wealth than in the
days of . their greatness. The highest
poetic gifts will not ' make a great sur
geon. The most profound knowledge of
theology and in the intricacies of the
various creeds will not win great battles,
"I admire a fighting soldier. I defer
to him as my superior. How men of
action dwarf men of words!" The pres
ent universal outburst of enthusiasm
upon the return of the boys from the
Philipine islands proves that this feeling
is as universal as mankind. The true
hero is kin to all humanity, His glori
ous deeds are the heritage of hi3 race,
They shame the coward. They disarm
treachery, thev nerve the arm ot cour
age, . they inspire the soul of hero
ism in all lands and in all ages.
Whatever we may think of war, it calls
out the best 'ye breed' and the highest
qualities of magnificent manhood. It is
action, grand, sublime, magnificent
action. What a destroyer of shams!
How cowards and weaklings shrink to
the rear and manliness steps to the
front ! How it stirs the blood and ele
vates the national life ! The , grandest
thing humanity can do is to offer life for
others. This every member of the
Second Oregon has done, and some, alas,
have completed this great sacrifice. The
greatest treasure that any nation' can
have is its heroes. In these the present
war has made Oregon more than rich.
Summers, Case, Thornton, Harrington,
O'Neal, High, Lions, Marshall, and
Smith are onlv a few of the names that
Oregon will hold more sacred than its
snow-capped mountains, fertile vallevs
or magnificent rivers."
J ust after sunset Prof. Earlston made
the ascent with his balloon. Many of
the country people had returned home,
but there were many people for miles
around who had the opportunity of see
ing the balloonist make his leap for the
earth at a distance of several thousand
feet. - ;' -
After the illuminated bicycle parade,
the exercises of the day closed with the
campfire exercises and ball at the college
armory.

OREGON
AT PARIS.
Are We as a State to be Represented
the Exposition?
Will Oregon be represented at the
Paris Exposition in 1900? This is a
question that every Oregonian should
giye a most thoughtful considerat ion.
During the past two years, Oregon has
justly won for herself a reputation
that will never fade and one
which is not only a surprise to
the people of this state, but of eastern
states as well, for our resources and
wealth are far above the expectations of
eastern people. The Btate of California
has appropriated the sum of $130,000 for
the purpose of making an elaborate dis
play of that state's resources in the
United States building at the Paris Ex
position. In this building will be exten
sive exhibits, but they will not be segre
gated. There will be grain, fruit, min
ing and lumber exhibits but they will be
from various sections of the country and
each wilt bear a little tag, telling of the
state and section of the state from which
it was taken.
Oregen should be represented, and well
represented in Uncle Sam's building at
the Paris fair. This is a matter that
should interest every producer, not only
for his own benefit but for that of the
state in general. From her remarkable
resources Oregon can gather an exhibit
that will astonish the people across the
sea and cause the people of our sister
states to open their eyes in astonish
ment as they receive the realization that
they have in Webfoot a dangerous rival.
In Benton county can be fonnd plenty
of samples of feuit and graia that no
one should be ashamed to hold up
proudly before the eyes of the entire
world.
To make the Oregon exhibit all the
more piomiuent and marked, a side
exhibition composed entirely of the rep
resentative exhibits of Oregon resources,
together with those of California and
Nevada, will be made. This movement
is being made by the Southern Pacific
Company and should be considered by
the agricultural people of the western
part of the state more especially.
The offer made to Oregon is a generous
one.' If our people will contribute the
materials for an exhibit massing them
at Portland the Southern Pacific will
transport them to' Paris,
pay all the
charges of transportation,
them here or elsewhere in
States, And if, further, our
and return
the United
people will
send an agent or commissioner to take
charge of the exhibit and explain it to
the visitors, special advantages in the
way of transportation will be afforded
him. How much an effort under this
plan will cost, the Southern Pacific rep
resentatives do not undertake to say.
The more the better, of course: but $5000
would probably make an effective display
and pay an agent to accompany it. There
should be no difficulty about raising this
moderate sum, and there will be none,
Oregon will take advantage of this extra
ordinary chance, and will be represented
at Paris in a way that cannot fail to ad
vertise widely the potentialities and
charms of the state, "'
While the exhibit is to be a state
affair in the fullest sense, the advantage
will be raost likely to lie with Western
OreeonTuirough which the lines of- the
Southern Paeific- pass. It will be especi
ally to the interest of the western coun
ties to stir themselves to the end of set
ting forth their attractions in the best
form. The timber the grains, the fruits
the minerals and the vast multitude of
other interests must all be represented.
Contributions will be freely made, inge
nuity and art will be taxed to present
them in beautiful forms, and the result
cannot fail to be a prodigious benefit to
Oregon.
