and the O A C brass band will be

that a lady of Corvallis, while

guest from Corvallis, were out driv

Although earlier in the season it
as feared that the fruit crop of
Benton county would be a total
failure, it is now believed that there
will be considerable of crop. The
fact that the market will not be
glutted seems to give assurance of
better prices, so that those who
have fruit to sell will not suffer the
great financial loss that was at one
time feared.

this occasion and will be apprecia
ted beyond a doubt.
The Tune number of th ClaWacrp.
Barometer reached our desk a few
davs aco. This is the last number
of Volume 5 and it presents as neat
an appearance as it ever did, and
this is nraise sufficient. It con
tains considerable well-written mat
ter that is of public interest and is
a credit to all who are connected
with its publication, from editor-in-
chief to Drinter. During the next
few months many people will miss
this popular journal, as it takes a
vacation until the doors of the
O A C are again opened to the stu
dents of the state.
Commencement day at the O. A.
C. will be on the 20th inst and

there will be a series treats until
the alumni concludes the social
work of the school year.
"Dilley. the fixer," and his assist
ant started out Saturday evening
for the Santiam, where they fished
during Sunday. They had fair
success, but if "the fixer" had suc
ceeded in landing the fish he lost,
we could all have eaten of it.
The struggle between Mr. Dilly
and the fish was long and fierce and
was considered a draw. After all
was over the fish lay on the top of
the water and took his breath, while
Dilly sat on the bank and watched
him. Have "the fixer" relate the
story with all attention to circum
stance and detail and you will have
heard the best fish story of the sea
son.
FIVE RECORDS BROKEN.
U. of O. Won the Inter-Collegiate Meet
After a Thrilling Contest
Defeated, but still undaunted.
This is the position of supporters
of the orange today. The stoic
manner in which she takes de
feat and the - fate: have been
most unkind to the O A C and
the determination with which
she enters each new contest, has
won for her the admiration of
her victorious rivals, and the ap
pl ause of the onlookers.
While the team from O A C
failed of the championship, they
were right in at the finish of
every contest, and new records
were made to beat them. Collec
tively they were superior to the
crack team of '97 which made
more points than all other colleges
together, but unfortunately the
strength of the teams of other
colleges was so distributed as to
be in nearly all cases to the dis
advantage of the orange.
The statement in Monday's
Oregoniaii that there was a gen
eral desire on the part of other
colleges to see Eugene lose the
cup, is unfair and without foun
dation. Had the other schools
wished to show partiality, they
could have thrown the cup to
O A C.
Against any team singly, the
orange could have secured an
easy victory with the exception
of U of O, and a glance at the
result of each contest, if the
names of other schools be elimi
nated, would show that the
strength of U of O and O A C
would be nearly equal in a dual
meet.
In several instances the "farm
ers"' did better in the events en
tered than they have ever done
in trials. Burnough covered
five fieet and six inches in the
high jump, breaking the inter
collegiate record and excelling
all previous record by three
inches. Woodcock vaulted 10
feet, and this was six inches over
his record. Burnett and Stimp-
son each did several seconds bet
ter than they have been doing in
the trials, and Cathey bested the
redoubtable Dick Smith in the
low hurdles. Scott, in the broad
jump and Colvig in the 100-yard
dash were a disappointment, but
Smith, U of O, in the- broad
jump, and Payne, U of O, in the
mile run, also made no showing.
The surprises of the day, even
to their most ardent
was the performance
in the half mile and
great performance
run. Heater,
of the occasion
in his arms, preventing Stimp
son from finishing, and losing
another point for the orange.
New records were made in the
half-mile, high jump, 120-yard
hurdles, mile and hammer.throw.
U of O earned 41 points; O A
C 25 points, W U 25 points, and
P C 20 points. Following is a

CLOSING EXERCISES.
in
admirers,
of Payne
Wilkirfs
the mile
P C, was the star
for he took first
place in the tour events in which
he was entered. His victory in
the two hurdles alone took 12
points from O A C, while U ot
O lost but three points.
Two things conspired to bar O
A C from second place. The
miserable act of Kerrigan, judge
of the walk, in disqualifying
Huffman, and the unfortunate
circumstance of a spectator inter
fering with Stimpson at the fin
ish of the mile run. Huffman is
considered the crack walker of
the northwest and has covered
the mile in 7:43. He had no
one to compete with Saturday,
and the mile was made in 8:13.
Still Kerrigan cautioned Huff
man in the first quarter where
the pace was yery slow and
finally disqualified him. This
took one point from O A C. In
the mile run, Stimpson was fin
ishing a good third. When
within ten feet of the tape, a. too
sympathetic admirer caught him
Elizabeth Taylor.
The death of Mrs. Elizabeth Tay
lor occurred in this city May 31,
1900. Funeral services were held
in the Christian church last Sun
day and were conducted by Rev.
L. F. Stephens. The remains were
interred in the Odd Fellows' ceme
tery. Mrs. Taylor was born in Porter
county, Ind., March 29, 1847, and
was a little more than 53 years of
age when death overtook her. Her
maiden name was Harlan and at an
early age she went to Iowa with her
parents. Here she resided the
greater part of her life. She was
married in Cass county, Iowa, Sep
tember 4, 1870, to R. L. Taylor
and there resided until August,
1889, when they came to Oregon.
Early in February last she be
gan to suffer from a fibrous tumor
and in April Mr. Taylor took her
to the Good Samaritan hospital,
Portland. After an examination
the surgeons concluded that it was
useless to operate on her, so she was
brought home to await the inevi
table. Until the last month her
suffering was not acute, but just
prior to her death ehe underwent
great pain. Her husband and four
children survive her, and were all
at her bedside to the last. The
children are Mrs. OHie Baldwin,
Roy Walter, Chester and Harlan,
the youngest being 15 years old.
During lite Mrs. Taylor was a
good Christian woman and made
niady friends who will be sad in
deed to learn of her death. She had
been a faithful follower of the Chris
tian church doctrines for the past
35 years. j

In former issues of this paper ar
ticles have appeared on the Belgian
hare industry, now gaining ground
in different sections of the state.
There has been quite a considera
ble inquiry as to cost of production
and percentage of profit arising
from a venture at the rearing of
the "Leporine. Local interest has
caused one of our townsmen, John
Simpson, to engage in the business
and he now has a rabbitry started
on a small scale. His son, Eugene,
who is at present in San Francisco,
recently sent three Belgian hare
to Corvallis as a starter. . They
are of the finest breeding and have
pedigrees. In California the rais
ing of Belgian hares seems already
to be looked upon as an industry of
great promise, and people are readi
ly engaging in it, -both as a means
of profit and pleasure. Breeding
as rapidly as the Belgian hare does,
it will only be a short time before
Mr. Simpson will have a rabbitry
established in Corvallis that will be
of interest to many citizens, inso
much that it will demonstrate the
profitable side of the industry.
Eugene Simpson has written his
parents that he will be home dur
ing the summer and he and his
father calculate to give the Belgian
hare business a most thorough test.

This store offers many attractions to

A store that relies solely on low prices to win and
hold trade is playing "a losing game." To win such
success as this store is" winning it is necessary that the

OUR glove stock is the best

profit. We recognize all these
requirements and conform to them.
That's why Corvallis women can
get better gloves here for the
price than elsewhere.
