The neatest and best publica tion of its kind in Oregon is the ".Barometer" published by the literary societies of the Oregon Agricultural College and equals any seni out Dy the larger insti luuous ot the coast. Issued monthly, it contains literarv and scienuno articles of merit, and uepanments devoted to news of the societies and alumni, loeal and intercollegiate irmc bright clippines from excha Aside from what moneys are re ceived from advertisers and sub scribers the expense of the onMi- cation is borne by the managers. The "Barometer" exchanges with every college paper f note In the United States, and it is spoken of most flatteringly in all 9i mem. as aa arivorticina medium for the college It" is especially valnable. It keeps the alumni in touch with .hir alm mater, and awakens college opui t in me student. Editor-in-Chief Chas. H. Horn er, and Manager Rebt. Withv- combe, are entitled to all the more credit for the excellence af this publication when it is noted that many of its contemporaries receive aid from the funds of the J institution from whioh thev are issued. The U. of O. monthly receives $ 300 per year from the Board of regents of the nniver sity. The merchants of Cor vains are quite liberal in their support ot the "Barometer," but snbstantial encouragement from the board of regents would not, we believe, come amiss. Death of Mrs. Neugass. A telephone message to rela tives in Corvallis, Sunday, from fcan rancisco, conveved inteli ligence of the death of Mrs. : Neugass, that morning in that city. The deceased had been in poor health for some time and death was not unex. pected. Mrs. Neugass was born in Kurland, Russia, April 12, 1829. With other members of her fami ly she came to America in 1847, and was married two years later to Simon Neugass at Cincinnati, Ohio. They moved to Oregon and located in Corvallis in 1858. Here Mr. Neugass engaged in business and at .the time of his death, October 29,.- 1883, was a member of the leading mercantile firm in this city.?.; About'" ten years ago, Mrs. Nlugass moved to San Francisco, where she iias resided with her ..daughter, Mrs. Greenberg, ever since. The furt eral occurs this moxningl at o'clock in San Francisco' and in terment will .be made. nea:r,;that city. Mr. and Mrs. Jacobs left Sunday evening for 'Sari Francis co to be present at these, services. Mrs. Neugass was the mother of three children, two of whom survive her,.M. S..- i Neugass arid Mrs. Bertha Greenberg,- of San Francisco. Other-relatives are a brother and sister , in Europe, a brother living in New York, a sister in Cincinnati, a sister, Mrs. M. Jacobs, of this city. Mrs. Neugasswas highly esteemed in this city for her charitable dispo sition and many noble traits ef character. Many friends here hold her in fond remembrance. Everybody, Interested. Prof. J. B. Horner evidently is meeting with success in his arrangements for the summer normal school which is to be held at Nye Creek;, this summer. Referring to the professoi'a trip to the coast a little mora than a week ago), .'the Yaquiaa Bay News says:, Prof. Horner informs m that the arrangements and plans for the school arid seaside lecture cenrse are progressing most favorably and the encouragement he is receiving from many dif ferent sections of the state, already ensures the success of the undertaking. The musical department will be a special feature ef the school; three pianos will fee provided and the class instructed by one . of the most prominent music teachers in the country, whose services have been secured for the season. A class in stenography will also be mads a specialty, under an able and well known instructor. Altogether the hearty co-operation Prof. Horner is receiving from all sides bids fair to fulfill expectations of a successful term of the sammet normal school. Some New Laws. Perusal of the session laws passed by the last legislature. discloses numerous changes in laws heretofore existing, and I with, the operation of which the public had become fairly familiar. Under the new law no public school is permitted to be in ses sion on any Saturday, or legal holiday, or during the time of holding teachers' institutes in their county. Heretofore, any person overj the age ot 21 years, who had re sided in the district thirty days, and paid taxes on preperty val ued at $100 could vote at a school election held in said district Un der the present law, only those persons, otherwise aualified. whose names appear on the last assessment roll, not assessed by tne sheriff, are oermitted to vote at such elections. It has been the custom for the probate court to hold its session on the first Monday in each month, and for the commission ers' court to meet on the first Wednesday after the first Mon day. The law now requires that the commissioners' court shall meet on the first Monday in the month. In any month, there fore, where the first Wednesday precedes the first Wednesday, pro- Date court will be held alter the meeting of the commissioners' court. A Sahealtfrl's Write-up. Dena M. McFarland, a miss of fifteen sammers, who is attending school at Summit, was asked by her teacher a short time ago to contribute a paper on Oregon, The result reflects great credit on the pupil and shows her to be very well poited on the general history and resources of the state. We have seen requested by a friend ef the young lady to print the essay, which appears below: Oregon is a good-sized state. It is sit uated in the northwestern part ef the United States, and is bounded on the north by Washington, on the east by Idaho, on the south by California and Nevadayahd on the west by the ' Pacific ocean. Oregon has a very mild climate and almost anything can be raised here. The people of the state are engaged in many different occupations. Wheat raising is carried on very extensively ' in some parts of Eastern Oregon, while many are engaged in sheep raiting in all parts of the state, and others devote their time to poultry rai.ing aud dairy ing. Quite a number are engaged in general stock raiting, which is profitable, as there are many fine imported 'cattle in Oregon, and the cattlemen keep trying to get better animals all the time. Min ing is carried on in the mountainous parts of the state. Oregon, like other states, it divided into counties ; they are 32 in number. The state is very thickly settled in the western and northern parts. Its history dates back to 1543. It was then owned by Spain, and was oc casionally visited by navigators, but lit tle attention was paid to it until near the end of the century. " In 1788, two trading ships from Boston, the Washington and Columbia, came to this coast. In 1789, Capt. Robert Gray, commanding the Columbia, having taken on a cargo ef furs, sailed to Canton, thence to Boston, being the first to carry the "Stars and Stripes" around the world, In 1790, he returned to the Oregon . eoast, and on May 11, 1792, discovered, and entered the great river ot Oregon, which he named Columbia's River,' for his ship, but it was afterward changed to Columbia River. , Oregon was organized as a territory in 848. Alter that its growth- was very slow until the discovery of gold in Cali fornia, ana in ' 1850 .congress passed a law giving to each settler in Oregon a donation land claim. Then the country began to fill up, and in 1859 it was ad mitted as a state. Since the completion of the Pacific railroads its growth has been exceeding, ly rapid, and it still continues,' to in crease in population. rortlana, in Multnomah county, is Oregon's largest city. SWith the old cities of Bast Portland ' and Albina, which became a part of Portland in 1891, the city occupies both banks of the Wil lamette river, . for nearly twelve miles above its mouth and in 1895, had a pop ulation of 81,000. This city commands the trade of the agricultural and lumber ing section of the Willamette valley. It has good schools, among them the Bishop Scott Academy, "a school for boys." - Oregon has , many fiue schools, and keeps improving them every year. The Oregon Agricultural College at Corvallis, is considered a very fine school. It is supported partly by, the -'general govern ment and partly by Uhe state. Many attend this college, not only from Ore gon but from other states as well. The State University, located at Eugene, is also ; considered a good scheol. -. The State Normal Schoel is at Monmouth. The favorite seaside , summer resort is at Newport and many people go there every summer. 'Long Beach and Sea side are also popular resorts. To the Public. Notice is hereby given that J. M.
