T. Vincent. 'The Abe Lincoln of Ben ton," is what his friends call T. T. Vincent, republican candidate for recorder of Benton county. There is much in Mr. Vincent's appearance and manner to justi- ! fy this sobriquet. Tall and an ieular, with a swinging gait; tmd ana genue m his manner; I nr-nr-A rf o Vion lorn rniintenance Ui3V.33tuu " and a penial smile. Mr. Vincent 0 attracts attention aad mases 4 warm and abiding friends. Mr. Vincent was born in Al len county, Ohio, March 14,? 1853. His parents moved to Minnesota in the fall of the same year. He completed a thorough public school course, and attend ed the state university of Minne sota at Minneapolis for several terms. Having his own way to make in life, he began teaching whea 18 years ol age, and. taught four terms in Minnesota, coming to Oregon in 1875. He contin ued teaching in Marion, Polk and Washington counties until 1884, when he was elected coun ty school superintendent of schools in Washington county. He was re-elected in 1886, prac tically without opposition. Mr. Vincent then engaged in the lumber business in Yamhill county for two years, and in 1890 was one of the original or ganizers of the "Capital Lumber ing Co." of Winlock, Wash., with a capital stock of $50,000. He was president of the company and general manager of the busi ness. The firm employed, in 189T, between 50 and 60 men. Mr. Vincent retired from the above firm in 1892, and in 1893 bought the old "Brit Wood" olace in Kings Valley, this coun ty. For the last few years he has been living on his farm, and has been leaching in Kings Val ley and schools adjacent to his home. He is highly respected by his neighbors and acquaintances for his sterling integrity, his up right and consistent life, and for Hi's genial and agreeable manners. He has the confidence of all his friends, who number some of the most prominent men in the state. - Writing under date- of Nov. 4 , 1900, from Eugene, the late Pro fessor E. B. McElroy -said: ' 4 It affords me pleasure to say that 1 have been personally acquainted with i Mr. --T.'r. -Vincent,, of Kin?s Valley, Vthis state, for many 'y ears, and: i cermy-iirms persori&l worth, bis educatioTal qualifications, and his ability as a teacher." J. N. Hart, ex-superintendent of schools in Polk county, writ ing from Dallas, Nov. 2, 1900, said of Mr. Vincent: "Prof. T. T. Vincent is cue of the most successful public school teachers in this county. Daring my term as school superintendent of Polk county I had the opportu- nitv to gain a personal knowl edge of his work, aud I can say it ranked along with the best." D. M. C. Gault wrote, under date of October 26, 1900, from Hillsboro: "I have known T. T.Vincent for nearly, or quite, 20 years, and have known him as an honest, conscientious, ca pable man, and can see no reason why he should not be successful wherever employed." No further proof than this is needed of Mr. Vincent's stand ing throughout the state. He is even more highly regarded here at home. He is thorough, capa ble; an excellent penman, and will make as good a recorder as Benton county ever had. Geo. II. Waggoner. Geo. H. Waggoner has given such excellent satislaction as county surveyor for the past two years, that the recent republican convention rewarded him with a second nomination. If splendid service and unexcelled fitness count for anvthinsf, the nomina tion should be paramount to an The difficult task of finding and locating the disputed boundary line between Benton and Lane counties was completed with such accuracy and dispatch by Mr. Waggoner that not one word of complaint or dissatisiac tion has been heard. All other business of this nature done by him for the county has met with the same approval. Mr. Waggoner has been a lesi dent of this county for the past 25 years.

Local Field Meet A local fieldrneet at. the college Saturday afternoon attracted quite a "number of students arid townspeople. Considerino; the condition,of the track-and the rawness of the weather, the rec ords made were favorable, A new feature at these games was introduced by the young ladies of the college.

Manager Kaupisch, of the Corvallis Creamery, 'said to the Gazette man yesterday, the conversation having turned to the subject of the new enterprises recently established n this vicin ity'" and , the., kind-f encourage ment the people i were giving them:'. "There is rio accounting for what people-will do. The get into an oldjrufand it is diffi cult to get them oaf" of it. For instance, they now ; , have the op- poi uiu'iy - to Curesa ? Lair.j, every day at the Corvallis Cream- ery. Every roll' is lull weight, 32 ounces, and guaranteed abso lutely pure. The price is 35 cts. per roll. Yet you will find peo ple who still keep on buying store butter that is invariably light in weight, of unknown age, and with no one to stand sponsor for its, purity. If they were get ting it cheaper than they can get butter at the creamery, that might be an inducement. But they can't. They pay 35 cents per" roll for it, and as a rule it doesn't weight over 1 3-4 pounds to the roll. Our creamery is near Main street, and very convenient for shoppers, being only one block east of the Occidental hotel. The highest market price is always paid for cream and but ter fat." The Festival. This will be a week never to be forgotten by the music lovers of Corvallis and the Willamette Vallev in general. The first concert will bs given in the Ar mory tonight. It will be an or chestral concert by the members of the Portland Symphony Or chestra. Tomorrow evening Mendelssohn's "Hymn of Praise" and Rossini's "Stabat Mater" will be produced by the orchestra and a chorus of about 200 voices, and on the following evening Handel's "Messiah" will be given by the same people. Be yond a doubt, this will be the greatest thing of the kind ever given in the .Pacific Northwest and no one can aflord to let such an opportunity to hear such world-renowned works escape them. Everything that would in any wav assist in making this an ar tistic success has been looked af ter. The advance sale of seats has exceeded all expectations, so that the financial end of the un dertaking is on a safe basis and the artistic side of the matter is equally assured. There is no better building in the state for the production" of these musical master-pieces and the placing of 100 electric lights above the or chestra and chorus and the fine stage decorations will make the whole scene resplendent music, beautv and light. Here's to the success of the May Festival of Music as Corvallis will give it. Oat of Litigation. The Hotel Corva'lis property which baa been in litigation for the past 10 or 12 years is now out of the hands f the courts. - In pursuance of an order of the circuit court issued last March the prop erty was sold at sheriffs sale last Satur day afternoon. The property was sold in three parcels, and was bid in by E. T. Tasrgart, of Portland, acting for Francis , I. Dunbar. The first parcel, a half lot, brought $2,000; the second, a full lot. $3,500 ; aud the building $2,000. Vhi!e the property is in the name of Francis I. Dunbar, Mr. Swanson is believed to be the equitable owner. . Mr. Swanson was present during tlio sale. Business called him to Portland, but he will return Friday at which time it is believed that he will let contracts for extensive repairs on the building. It needs a new roof. The lower floors need raising and bracing, and the south side of the hotel should be covered with gal vanized iron or be otherwise protected. Mr. Swanson will, in all probability, fit the building up fcr a hotel and have it In operation as soon as possible. rant mm Will Speak at Opera House This Afternoon. W. J. Furnish, republican candidate for governor, accompanied by Hon. C. W. Fulton, will ba in Corvallis today. They will make addresses at the Opera House this afternoon at 2 :30 o'clocfe- A program has been arranged and arousing good time will be enjoyed by all who at tend.
