No other resort offers equal attractions and advantages." B. Fallows, of Portland, an ex pert mining engineer and geologist, who was for a number of years em ployed by the Northern Pacific rail road Company, was in town a few days this week. He interested some of Our citizens in mining prop erties In the Ladrean district In British Columbia north of Ross land. We believe they will not re gret their investments. Fallows is not the man to misrepresent any thing. Quite a serious accident oosurted Monday afternoon, up on Greasy. in which Robert Legan was the vic tim. Mr. Legan was employed in Prickett & Logan sawmill and in stepping over a revolving pulley the leg of his trousers caught just be low the knee and his leg was ter ribly lacerated.

A few days ago Amy Cameron erected a gate, built on the lines of the patent taken out June 6, 1899, by Ephriam Cameron. The gate is one of the finest in simplicity of action that one can conceive ef. The gate has what is called a lock in? beam, consisting of two parts locked together. This locking beam is connected to a post with a hinged swivel, and by means of a pulley the gate is operated . It is very simple and the price ef a gate and appliances will range from $2 up, according to the kind of a gate- that is nut in. However, toe cost of appliances will remain the same' regardless ot tne gats iiseir. For fine, dress goods, silks and velvets go to Nolan & Callahan.

The animal is of the Alack roll Angus breed and is a remarkably fine one. Few men in this or any bther state take as keen an interest in fine eat tie as does Mr. Porter, and it would be a difficult matter to find a finer herd of full-bloads than is owned by him. D. C. Rose was in MoMinnville last' week to attend a meeting of the executive Committee of the Ore gon Fire" Relief Ass'n. The meet ing was called to elect a president of the association to fill the place made vacant by tbe death of the late O. H. Irvine. Mr. Rose nom inated Emanuel Northap, dean ef the faculty of McMmnville college, who was elected. There is some uneasiness felt by farmers regarding the . weather of the past and its effect on growing creps. The general opinion seems to be that if it is good weather frsm now on everything will be all right. Mr. Allingham and wife were dewn from Peoria during the week. Mr. Allingham stated that grain orops were looking fine in his section. It is an undisputed fact that this weather has not been ideal hay weather. ' ? Muoh anxiety has of late been j expressed by interested parties as to what has become of the race crusher : purchased sometime ago by the' county. We have the pleasure now ef informing all interested in said machine that if they will go to the: ferry landing they can have a free look at it, as everything is free down that way. The crusher came ! up on the last boat, and on account ! of its weight, was discharged at the ferry landing. It is not large but is a heavy machine. During commencement exercises Wednesday morning, President Gatch spoke a word to stragglers, which was duly appreciated by punctual members of the audience and to which the tardy may well give heed. There was a neat bit of sar casm in the announcement that the O AC would held commencement exercises next June, and the hope that a portion of the, audience woald arrive a half-hour earlier, which should not soon be forgotten. It would he well in the future, to lock the doors at the hour set for beginning the program, and open them after the benediction. Prof. E. J. Lea will leave in a few days for Cottage Grove to visit relatives, Since leaving here a year ago he has been for many months in the employ, as chemist, of a large beet sugar manufacturing con cern at Grand Junction, Colorado.

In a short time he ex pects to leave ; agai a for Grand Junction, having . been- offered a goad position as chemist in the sugar lactory. Thirty-Foar Graduates. The thirty-second oommenca Hient of the Oregon Agricultural college occurred in " the armory Wednesday morning at 9:30 o'clock. The showers of early morning deterred many of the fair sex from attending these ex ercises, but for all that the gallery arid auditorium of the armory- were crowded with a happy and expectant audience. Promptly at the hour set for beginning the orchestra was signalled Jo begin the opening , number. Rev. Humbert pronounced the invoca tion, the orcnestra played a beau tiful selection from "Martha," and Charles H. Horner, saluta- torian of the class of 1901. stepped, forward to deliver his oration on "Intellectaal, and Technical Training." His pa per was ably and concisely writ ten; his delivery easy and ia per fect keeping with his subject. Mr, Hornej is practical and thoroughin all his undertakings, and his effort Wednesday was a credit to his class and to himself. A solo by Professor Fulton fol lowed. Mr. Fal!n has a voice of remarkable parity and power, and . his name always add3 strength to a progtam. The address to the class was delivered by Hon. W. W. Cotton, of: Portland. The speaker did nol indulge in any flights of ora tory or flourishes of rhetoric. His words were those of a parent to his children: words of wisdom spiced ''with wit just enough levity to relieve the occasion 01 solemnity. No finer address has been delivered to & graduating class of the O A C. The speaker told the class that so far in life's jonrney they had. trod & common pass but now they reached the parting ot the ways. 'Think of a pass," he Said, "in the mountains ftnding upon a great desert over which no road is marked. Through the defile the road is plain and must be followed; btst when the desert is reached the traveler must pause, take his bearings; consider well the course to be pursued, and then follow that course without deviation. If he dees not take these wise precautions, he will probably ' never reach a place of safety and will wander miserably about until death overtakes him. 'It seems to me that you, in company with each other, have just passed over a well-marked road, and are standing today looking out upon the great plain of life. Is it not fitting that you should now paase and de termine upon the point which you' intend to pnrsue-and then resolve that you will follow that course with a fixed and steadfasu purpose?" A vocal duet by Mrs. i,. b. Pernot and Miss Chamberhn, preceded the oration by Miss Ivy Barton, valedictorian, on "Lather and; Liberty." Miss Burton's paper . was elegantly written, and her delivery was stirring and effective- President Apperson, ot the board of regents, presented the diplomas, and President Gatch conferred the degrees.

Paul,; tinder whose direction the plav was pro duced, discoveied talent in the cast and developed it to a degree which surprised the faculty and students, and delighted the audi ence. Monday night's perfor mance shows what may be ac complished by a month of hard work intelligently directed. ' Mr. Stump and Mr. Brown do their best work in the second act; when "Colonel LyOn" attempts to prove "Derby Dash wood" a liar. Tne scene between Mr. Stalker, Mr. Shepard and the uncle which leaves all three ih tears, was admirably worked up and evoked roars ef laughter. Miss Burton as "Nellie Golden gate," and Miss Holden ia the role of "Prudence Mayflower," were pretty aad graoefnl. . Mueh praise has been accorded the fidelity of their impersonations. Miss Rusk cleverly sustained the part of "Baby," while Miss Wilson made the most of her op portunities ia the character of "Kitty." Roy Ortel Hurt. While getting ready to onload some hay off of a wagon at the barn of H. F. Fisher, Tuesday, quite an aeeident occurred. The wagon load of hay had been driven into the driveway of the barn and one of the men em ployed to mow the hay started np a ladder for the loft. This scared the borees and they dashed eat of the barn. Roy Ottel, an Al sea boy, was oa the load of hay at the time, hut it was impossible lor him to get the reins and eaeck the animals. He saw that he would strike ssme timbers and be badly injured and undertook to save himself, In some unac countable way ha was thrown to the barn floor, a distance of some 1 2 or 14 feet. He struck on his hands and face, and in the fall his throat was quite severely cat aad both of his wrists were badly spraiaed. A physician was sum moned ana the sufferer was made as comfortable as possible. The team did not ran a great distance before it was stopped. The team and wagon escaped with slight "damage. Mr. Ortel Is getting along as nicely as oonld be expected, bat It will be some time before he fully re covers. Additional Loeal.

The alumni of the Agricultural College held its business meeting Wednesday afternoon. James Gib son was elected president, but aBide from this little else was done at the meeting. The annual banquet was held at the armory Wednesday evening. The class of 1901 was welcomed in an address by Prof. Berchtold. There was an address no set program, although numerous excellent toasts were given during the progress of the banquet. ( : The gymnastic exhibition given by the classes in physical culture at the college armory Tuesday eve ning, was largely attended and highly enjoyable. After numerous drills by tbe various classes and feats of dexterity by a picked team, A. C. Gilbert gaye a marvelous ex hibition of fancy bag punching which elicited much applause. A pleasing feature of the program was the, Amazon drill and series of tab leaux by a special class of young ladies under the direction ot Prof. Helen Crawford. The posings were graoeful and every tableaux formed a beautiful picture. Arthur Bier came nelr being the victim of a serious accident Wednes day morning. While passing over the mill race bridge south of town in a single baggy, he met Jack Wright, who was driving a- double team hitched to a wagon. The bridge was a trifle narrow for Jack, and he crowded Arthur's horse on into the water. As the animal passed over the railing, the treat wheels of the bnggy followed. Arthur was thrown into the stream and was saved from injury by the depth of the water. Jack assisted in extricating the horse and badly broken vehicle from their perilous position, and oflered words of sym pathy to the owner who stood drip' ping in the road. . ; .
