ident of the O A O, in a recent let
ter to an Oregon friend, made this

tion of how earnest the Rustians

they will ,be here Russia is the
country that tbe United States will
have to deal with in Oriental mat
ters. We should have many young
men here learning their language."
An eye-witness
seen a young lady
relates having
thrown from a
horse in the western part of town,
Saturday. Her younger brother, a
lad of about twelve years, was
riding behind her. when the horse
became unmanageable and threw
them off in the mud. Luckily
neither of them were hurt. The
horse, after relieving itself of its
riders, began grazing on the road
side. The young people were pret
ty badly scared, but otherwise un
hurt. The boy made quite a dem
onstration over the fact that he Ioet
his hat in the deal. It took quite
a search to find his "lid," as it had
been trampled in the mud.
The May Festival.
At the Tuesday evening meet
ing of the Festival Chorus up
wards of ioo singers put iu an
appearance. It had been intend
ed to use the City Hall, offered
for the purpose by the kiad
courtesy of the Council and the
Firemen. This building: was
more accessible to a majority o:
the singers than the College
Chapel, and therefore more de
sirable. But the only light
comes from the one groap of six
small lights in the center of the
room. That is still further ob
scured - bv the green wreaths
haneiasr from it. So that it
proved impossible to hold the
practice there, and am adjourn
ment was made to the College
Chapel, where future practices
will be held until farther notice.
The chorus work- shows mark
ed improvement with each meet
ing. Last Tuesday the singers
had gained in courage and the
volume -of sound and fullness of
tone far surpassed anything yet
heard. Nearly all of the Messi
ah choruses have now been at
tacked. Next Tuesday will
finish this going over. Mr.
Nash expressed himself as well
satisfied with the progress made
and confident that by the Festi
val time in May the Corvallis
contingent will do credit to their
citv. Gratifying: enthusiasm is
shown, and willing perseverance
in the frequent. repetitions order
ed of the difficult passages.
The Finance Committee of the
FestivaVhave held several meet-
ings and nave luiiy discussed
and agreed on the measures to
be taken to raise the necessary
funds.
A canvass has been undertaken
beginning with the college, and
so tar, the results ludicate that
Corvallis will nobly respond to
the call, first by pledging the
taking of tickets, and second by
oininr in a guarantee of defici
ency in the unlikely event of the
sale of tickets in May falling
short of the estimated sum.
iberal provision is being made
in arranging tor the best festi
val yet held, both in numbers
and in quality of performers. A
grand success is in sight, and
every one must do his part.
The Foot-Hill Baldwin.
In an article entitled "Best
Commercial Apple," recently
read before the third annual con
vention of Oregon Fruit Grow
ers, by George Armstrong, who
has an apple orchard of 2,000
fruit trees about five -miles north
of Corvallis. He says:
Looking at the ordinary apple
or sale in most of the grocery
stores the best of these seem to
be mostly Baldwins. These
facts (locking at them from a
sort of Darwinian survival of the
fittest theory) seem to point to
the Baldwin as being; one of the
best apples to grow in the Wil-
amette valley foot-hills. I
kaow that the Baldwin has some
defects "and that it is liable to
speck ,in some soils and seasons,
but I have an idea borne out
somewhat by observation that it
is a harder and better-keeping
apple in the ioot-hills than in
the valley. I am also inclined
to think that it has not been so
scientifically grown and packed
as Newtons and Spitzenbergs
and, therefore, has not been so
much esteemed b y . Eastern
connoisseurs.
Sword Found.
While rummaging about in
the garret of the ice factorv.
ast Sunday, D. C. Rose, of this
city discovered a sword. It was
quite badly rusted, but the in
scription on it furnished a clue
to the owner. At present it is
the property of Mrs. M. A.
Hemphill, of this city.
The sword was presented to a
brother of Mrs. Hemphill, Lieut.
G. F. Dennick, in Pennsylvania,
at the close of the civil war.
He is now deceased and Mrs.
Elemphill is very proud of his
sword and was much erieved
when it was stolen from her
some twelve years agro. One
hundred dollars woald gladly
have been given for its return.
When found all of the gold-braid
furnishings were missing. The
supposition is that some boy took
it and fearing; discovery secreted it
in the garret of the ice factory.
Left by Request.
The quarantine was raised at
the Brown home Saturday, and
Billy Williams was down town
for the first time since his
confinement with the smallpox.
He celebrated his restoration to
health and liberty by imbibin
freely of the beverage that ine
briates, and began decorating the
names of the various city officers
with apoellations more forceful
than complimentary. . As a con
sequence he was - arrested for
using: indecent language and
fined $20 and fifty days in jaiL
Sentence was suspended upon
his promise to leave the city
within one hour and a half. He
failed to comply with this agree
ment and at the expiration of the
time of respite, he was lodged in
jaiL : '"
The blankets placed in his
cell were thrown out by the
prisoner, and he was permitted
to spend Saturday night without
them. He cursed the officers for
their delay in bringing his sup
per, and he got none.
Sunday morning when the ef
fects of the liquor had worn off,
Billy was more docile, and said
he realized that he had made a
fool of himself. He promised to
leave town if released, and his
offer was accepted. "About noon
he started for Albany afoot. It
is believed that his destination is
Everett, Washington? Williams
is not la. stttpid fellow, and he
can be as gentlemanly as any
body when he chooses. .
Winner lit Denbt.
The question cl who is the
winner of the inter-collegiate or
atorical contest held at Salem,
Friday evening is still in doubt
This condition of affairs occurs
with aggravating regularity. At
the close of the contest the sum
mation of ranks showed that W.
C. Hale, of P. U., and Chas.
Sternberg, of Albany College,
had tied for first place with 1 6
points each, while Herman Tar
tar, of O. A. C. was given second
place with 17 14 points. To de
cide the tie the average of the
gradings on composition and de
livery was taken and Hale was
found to have received 542 points
and Sternberg 535 . .Tartar's
grade was also 535.
The finding of the judges were
reaveraged Saturday and it was
discovered that a mistake had
been made and Albany College
was nrst by one point. Upon
discovering the error, President
Swafford called a meeting of the
executive committee - to be Ijeld
in Salem today, when the matter
will receive official consideration.
Tartar was awarded first place in
delivery, receiving 27a points to
Hale's 269 and Sternberg's 250.
In composition, however, he was
given " but 263! points, while
Hale's grade wa& 273 and Stern
berg's 275. All tbree judges
on delivery gave -Tarter -first
place; one of the judges on com
position gave him third place,
and the other two placed him
sixth.
About 90 students and mem
bers of the faculty from O. A. C.
left on Friday morning's boat to
attend the contest. About 50
returned after the contest, while
the remainder stayed for the
banquet and came home on Sat
urday night's boat.
What Oregon Needs.
In a letter to the Gazette, dated at
New York City, March 12th, 1902, Ross
Nicholas writes the following:
While I am making a little trip
through the East for business and pleas
ure, I cannot help looking out for the
West, especially old Benton, and I find
that the greatest need is ad?ertising. The
people in the middle West have some
idea of Oregon, but the people in the far
East have not the slightest a few of
tkem have heard of such a place. A par
ticular incident that caused me to write
was the finding of a small piece of Ben
ton county literature in the hands of a
"down East," Yankee, who was delighted
with the same, and will start West next
year, and declares he won't stop until he
reaches Benton. This is the only thing
1 have found from Oregon in all my long
journey. I find Dr. Wilson with the
Board of Health and J. B. Walker with
the Scientific American. Both families
are well.

RAMBLER IS KING
Because every advanced method of the
mechanical art is employed in building
the Rambler wheels. All the elements
of beauty, strength, originality and high
quality are blended in the eight Rambler
models offered this season. The Ram
bler bicycle has always been the easiest
running wheel on the market, and in the
twenty-three years of its manufacture it
is recognized to be as strong as any wheel
made.
The sculptor's reputation is not made
by the first work of his chisel. The best
in everything is the result of making the
good better, and in keeping everlastingly
at it. The Rambler is equipped with the
famous G. & J. tires ; the handiest and
most durable tire made.
This wheel is on Bale at J. K. Berry's,
and in buying a Rambler you have your
choice of all the latest equipments for
bicycles; such as saddles, handlebars,
