How many people in Corval
lis, or Benton county for tfcat
matter, know how much land
belonging to the Agricultural
College adjoins the City ot Cor
vallis? Business men, and even
members of the board ot regents,
have Dleaded ignorance ot the
exact figures when the question
was put to them oaring the past
few days as to the number o
acres in the college farm. About
a week ago a stranger in the
city, making investigation for
the 'purpose of determining
whether to locate here and send
his children to school, asked
numerous questions concerning
the college. One man told him
the school was under the domi
nation of the Southern MethoA
ist church, and 50 acres was the
extent of its land holdings m
Benton county. The pamphlet
issued by the Omens' Ieague
says 275 acres; quite a discrepancy.
The Gazette man has looked
over the records in the office, ot
the countv recorder, and these
seem to show that the college
property adioining Corvallis
comprises 100.9 acres. i.ne
catalogue issued by the college
states that its grouads comprise
198.91 acres. The question
arises, wnat are tne Correct ng-ures.
It is quite probable that there
is a general lack of knowledge on
matters relating to the college.
There is one simple way to cor
rect this condition of affairs, and
place the people of this county
in a position to enlighten strang
ers concerning our great institu
tion of learning: A neat adver
tisetnent, containing facts and
figures relating to the college,
concisely compiled, and made to
appear in the columns of the lo
cal papers every month of the
year.
Such data would make inter
esting reading for subscribers in
other portions of the couatrv
who anticipate moving to Cor
vallis to take advantage of the
opportunities offered by the college.

The World-Herald, of Omaha,
Neb., contains a partial list of
the bequests made by the late
Frank H. Peavey, of Minneap
olis, and among them we find the
sum of $2 ,000 bequeathed to N..
P. Peterson, ot this city.
Before coming to Corvallis
last fall Lir. Peterson had been
in the employ of Mr. Peavey for
nearly eighteen vears. Me is one
of the several hundred who hive
been remembered by the great
financier. More than this, Mr.
Peavey provided in his will that
every employe who has been in
the service of his firm for three
years shall receive a month's
pay, and the executors are in
structed to retain the old em
ployes and to care for them after
they are too old to work.
Mr. Peavey was one of the
most remarkable and command
ing figures in the Northwest,
and the most admirable charac
ter in the world of finance. He
was born in Eastport, Maine,
January 18, 1850, and died in
Chicago, December 30, 1901.
Left fatherless at the age of 9
vears, ha began his business ca
reer as a newsbov. Bv dint of
hard work and conscientious,
righteous effort he amassed a for
tune and attained a position in
the very front rank of business
men. He was the head of the
most extensive grain elevator
system in the world, and carried
the largest life insurance policy
ever written. His life should be
an inspiration to every young
man who is carving nis way
alone, and his example might be
emulated with profit by the Car
negies and Morgans of finance.
A few months beiore Mr. rea
vey was stricken with the attack
of pneumonia which resulted in
his death, Mr. Peterson entered
into correspondence with the
great financier, his purpose be
ing to get Mr. Peavey to pur
chase a large tract ot the Coe
lands in Lincoln county. In re
ply Mr. Peavey stated that he
appreciated the opportunity of
fered for an excellent investment,
but he had let contracts lor the
building of a line of steamships
and made other investments
which would require all the cash
he cquld command at present.
However, he would bear Mr.
Peterson's proposition in mind.

Mr. W. O. Heckart has just completed
a new staircase in his residence on 5th
street, and it is as handsome as a piece
of parlor furniture. Only Oregon wood
has been nsed in its construction and the
ornamentation is all hand work. The
newel post is made of curley maple and
is beautiful in design. The panels are
of the same material and finished in the
natural wood, as are the balisters. The
hand rail and portions of the grill are
made of ash and finished to represent
antique oak, while the panels under the
stairs are given the appearance of mahog
any. The staircase rises in a hall of
ample dimensions, from which folding
doors lead to the parlor, sitting room
and dining room. Thse can all be
opened, throwing these rooms and the
hall all into one.
A landing reached by ascending two
steps, has a window in front and at the
side, making a cosy corner, which looks
artistic and inviting.
that absence makes the heart grow fond
er. The applause began at the first in
timation on the part of the wife ot the
prosecuted parson that she was an hon
est woman and .would have none of the
villain, and it continued with scarcely an
interruption all through the long and
weary separation of the good man and
his wife, through the scene at the park
where they are aearly reunited, through
the biting poverty and bitter woe which
is the lot of both, and to the triumphant
finish. The play is crowded as full of
heart interest as it will hold, but there is
room for comedy here and there and the
audience was as prodigal of its laughter
as it was of its applause.
The company which is presenting the
play this year is if anything stronger
than that of last season.
