ANNUAL" LOCAL INST'TUTE.
A Large and Enthusiastic loratneriHE
of Teachers Mich Good Accomplished.
The city of Corvallis was filled
last Friday and Saturday with a
large number of strangers. The
occasion being the holding of the
thirteenth local teachers' institute
of Benton county. The session be
gan Friday in the Methodist Epis
copal church. This large and com
modious edifice was comfortably
filled with patrons, teachers and
citizens. The object of this meet
ing was to assist the teachers of our
city school in their effort to obtain
a school library. The literary pro
gram was prepared by the teachers
of this school, under the supervision
of Prof. A. (3. McDonald. Supt.
Denman asked for Prof. McDonald
to come forward and take charge of
the evening exorcises. The pro
gram consisted of a flag song by
a number of little girls; recitation
by another little girl; vocal solo by
Dr. Oathey, and the address of the
evening by President W. C. Haw
ley of the Willamette University.
His subject was "The Brain Cells
and their Development." President
Hawley has acquired a reputation,
second to none, as a lecturer. His
last effort only added new laurels
to those already won. His address
showed careful research, much
study, and was greatly enjoyed by
everyone. After the lecture Prof.
McDonald made an appeal for
financial help for the library.
Slips of paper were distributed
throughout the audience for pledges
to assist in the undertaking. It is
understood that the library work
received a substantial sum.
The Saturdav session bejjan
promptly at 10:30 a. m. in the
Public School building with about
forty teachers present. The pro
gram was as fellows: Singing by
Institute, lead by Mr. D. A. Prich
ard; Rev. F. L. Moore offered invo
cation; song by pupils from Miss
Alderson's grade; address, "Work
of the Dust," President W. C. Haw
ley; phonic reading, Mrs. May
Nelms. This was one of the best
exercises of the day. Mrs. Nelms
gave her methods in teaching this
system of reading, and took the
teacher through all the necespary
steps. Her work was made more
interesting by regular class work.
The pupils participating in these
exercises gave a good account of
themselves and of their teacher.
"Methods in Arithmetic" was.
taken up by Prof. N. Tartar. He
gave his method of presenting com
pround proportion. A lively dis
cussion arose over this subject, lead
by Prof. J. M. Martindale, princi
pal of the Albany schools. Prof.
R. P. Goin and Pro- J. W. Craw
ford continued the 'discuseiou by
giving methods of teaching certain
subjects in arithmetic. Prof. J. H.
Ackerman, state superintendent,
talked for a short time of changes
that had been made in the school
law. He discussed the new law
on attendance of teachers at the
institutes, the new teachers' regis
ters, library law and course of
Study. Under the new law which
will go into effeGt May 24, each
district will have to furnish their
school with a janitor. Heretofore
the teacher has been compelled to
do this work after school hours.
This will no doubt be good news to
the teachers of our county. After
May 24 the school districts of this
state can only spend 15 per cent of
tne money received trom the county
and state school funds for expenses
incurred in running their schools.
The new law makes it mandatory
for every school district to spend 85
per cent of the money drawn for
teachers' salaries. Not one cent of
this 85 per cent can be used for any
other purpose. It might be well
for the echool beards ef our county
to take notice of this change at the
beginning of the school year. .
Prof. W. A. McGb.ee gave a very
interesting talk on "School Man
agement" and "Nature Study" waB
presented in a very interesting and
profitable manner by Prof. A. B.
Cordley. The subject ef "Spelling
was not discussed by Prof. Horner,
owing to the lateness of the hour.
Instead of this he talked briefly
on the "Normal Institute" which is
to be held at Newport during the
coming summer under his super
vision. He carefully outlined the
plans and gave other - information
concerning this coming meeting.
The indications are bright for a
very, successful meeting at this
time. The leading educators of our
state have signified their willing
ness to assist. Such men as Supt.
R'gler of Portland, Pres. Hawley,
Prof. Ackerman and Pres. Camp
bell are interested in the meeting
With such a support, this gather
ing of teachers promises to be not
only a success but a valuable
acquisition to our teachers gather
ings in this state. It will compare
favorably with the Chautauqua at i
Oregon City.
Miss Edith Alderson officiated as
pianist and Mr. L. W. Oran as sec
retary. 1 he next institute isto be
held in Philomath the latter part
of April or the first of May.
Very Accommodating.
One tlaing. suggests another.
Let a man tell a good story and
he is no sooner through than
someone tells a better one. On
account of the flattering prices
offered of late by tie Corvallis
merchants for eggs, this valuable
article has been the 'nurce ef
much discussion and a few good
stories.
Some days age an old-timer,
from Polk county, grew remi
niscent and launched forth in
good style, with all attention to
circumstance and detail with a
tale that finally turned toward
eggs. He recited the condition,
some years ago, of the old narrow-gauge
which ran between
Airlie, Polk county, and Port-,
1-1TT .1.
ianc. now tne tracK was un
ballasted and it took two full
days to make the round trip.
Sometimes the cars were derailed
and hoars were lost jack-screwing
them back. The conductor
was a jolly good fellow and his I
name was "Jack ." If
hunting was good he mightt stop
his train anywhere and marshall
his crew for a few hours' bird
shooting. If it was the season
of the year for such things the
whole "capoodle" would go
swimming or picking berries.
It was supposed to be an accom
modation train, aud it was any
body shipping for Portland must
needs take a lunfth basket and
his blankets.
There were no stations or
station houses in those days
and all one had to do was
to wave his hat when they were
traveling at "high speed," or
run the train down when ran
ning on schedule time in order
to jet aboard. Jack was known
to everybody, and would take a
dozen eggs or a roll of butter to
market for any good farm wife
and bring back whateves she de
sired in lieu of the produce. He
was always equal to the trust im
posed in him, although he was
obliged to procure everything
from a paper of pins to a spring
hat, or a wedding dress. At one
place the road ran between the
farm house and the barn of a very
respectable lady whose place was
situated between Dallas and Air
lie. On a certain occasion the
good lady "flagged" the "ac-j
commodation" and handed Jack
a basket of eggs, remarking that
it contained five dozen and elev
en, out tnat tfiere was a hen on
the nest and if he would wait
aDoui nueen minutes sue could
send an even six dozen to mar
ket. Jack waited.
In Oregon City.
G. W. Bigham, of Corvallis,
who recently purchased the Pa
cific Ssda Works in Oregon City,
has taken possession of the plant
and is getting ready to extend
the business of making and sell,
ing soda water. Mr. Bigham
has a large plant! aft Corvallis
and is a successful manufacturer
f carbonated waters and flavor
ing syrups. He will soen meve
from the west to the east side of
Main street so that he will be
able t pipe pare water to tlis
factory from a well near the
ledge of rocks. Mr. Bigham is
not very complimentary while
speaking of the water used for
domestic purposes in Oregon
City. He says ift is so impure
that ha cannot use ifc for making
soda water. He says that dead
cats and mortified mud turtles
are not good in soda water. He
declares that when Willamette
river water is strained through
the teeth, the larger pieces of
organic matter do not enter the
stomach, bnS that any impurity
spoils pink pop. Oregon City

An Historical Hunt.
. Jesse Spencer is a great hand
at saving all sorts of letters,
notices, documents, programs,
and goodness Tinows what not,
that have any bearing on the do
ings of the people of this com
munity. The other day, while
rummaging through his effects, he
unearthed a document that is
quite ancient and will prove of
interest to those who participated
in the hunting matches last win
ter, and also to the old-Vlmers.
The document in question was
an agreement between T. J.
Buford and R. J. Hudson, cap
tains of two hunting parties.
signed by all members compos
ing the contesting teams. It is
quite an imposing and legal aps
pearing paper and was drawn m
December, 1878, by Judge W.
S. McFadden. A section reads
as follows:
"We and each of us, hereby
certify on honor as gentlemen,
with the same solemnity as if
respectively under oath, that
each point, or all points have
been killed by me or members of
my hunting side between the
hours of 1 o'clock a. m. and 8
o'clock p. m, of the 30th day of
.December, 1S78; that no points
have been obtained from any
parties other than members ot
my own hunting side."
Captain T J Buford was backed
by the following men: A L.
Young, Zeph Job, E Wrenn, E
H Taylor, Frank Rayburn, John
Huffman, N Baesen, W Al
brecht, W T Huffman, John Gol
mer, Geo Biddle, L- Wilson, Eli
King and TJ Creighton. RJ
Hudson placed his chances of
victory in tha hands of Billy Ba
ker, J Lufler, John Rock, Mark
Bailey, Rnbe Kiger, Abe Kiger,
John Baker. J S Palmer, W S
MeFadden, Dr. Green, Jesse
Brown, Ed Thayer, George
Emrick, E Kerslinger and Robt
Irvine.
The score was, Bnford's team,
2,158 points, against 2,006 ef
Hudson's sporfemen. It is wor
thy of note that Judge McFad-
rWn had ATiW
as & op
"skun" ponent and that Nick
him 20 points. ("Mac" may
not like public mention made f
this fact.) Many of the men
who participated in this graad
hunt of more than twenty-two
years ago are unknown to the
majority of Corvallis residents f
today, while some have passed
to the great unknown. T J
Buford, the victorious captain,
is agent at the Siletz Indian Res
ervation. R- J. Madson, died
in this city many years ago.
Nick Baesea and Thayer are
both in Alaska. Wffi. Baker,
f Eastern Oregon, was in Cor
vallis last winter when death
overtook his sister, Mrs. G. B.
Smith. Many of the partici
pants are still residents of this
city and couaty, whila others
have gone forth into Ike great
world and all trace of them has
beea lost.
Miachin Acquitted.
The executive committee of the
intercollegiate oratorical association
met at Salem Saturday, and offi
cially aequitted Elwood Minchin of
the charge of plagiarism preferred
againBt him by McMinnville col
lege. The meeting consumed sev
eral hours, and the matter was
thoroughly discussed. . A secret
ballot was taken, resulting in seven
votes for acquittal and one for con
viction. After the decision had been
reached, H. B. Esson, of Mon
mouth, introduced the following
resolution, which was adopted with
out a dissenting vote:
'Resolved, "That we, the exec
utive committee of the Intercolle
giate Oratorical Association of Ore
gon, do hereby exonerate' Elwood
Minchin, of Pacific College, from
the charge of plagiarism, preferred
against him by McMinnville Col
lege, and that we assure him our
heartiest support in the interstate

Three Questions.
Before purchasing a piano or organ
there are a few questions it is well to
consider. First: Is the instrument made
to use or simply to sell ? Second : Is
the the tone, action and finish first class?
Third: Is the price reasonable? Cheap
instruments are expensive at any price.
Why? Because they never givesalis
faction, beingconstructed of the cheap
est material hastily thrown together.
To secure the value of your money there
is one certain way. Buy an instrument
which has not only an established repu
tation for years, but which has kept up
with every improvement of msdern
times. If you then would like such an
instrnment with a tone, action and fin
ish unsurpassed, I have tham, and cin
furnish you any at the lowest price.
