wiaicn greeted Mr. urnisa was
hearty and prolonged. In a few
brief words Mr. Furnish told
what policy he would pursue if
elected governor. He said: "I
can promise the people of the
state of Oregon that when I am
elected governor their every right
shall be deeply respected. I be
lieve that I can truthfully say
that when my term shall have
expired the people will have no
lis for complaint against my
administration."
I have ibeen told, said Mr.
Furnish, that the report is being.
circulated that I will be disposed
to devide the Agricultural Col
lege and start a branch institu
tion in Eastern Oregon. Have
no.fear in this direction. I shall
do all in my power to maintain
the integrity of that splendid in
stitution. At the close of Mr. Furnish' s
remarks, Hon. C. W. Fulton was
introduced as the speaker of the
day A s'orm of applause wel
comed Mr. Fulton, and during
the course of his address, cheers
interrupted his remarks. Mr.
Fulton's throat is troubling him
severely and it was necessary for
him to come off of the platform
on to the main floor, that -he
might speak with less, exertion.
The speaker began by calling
the attention of his hearers to the
character of campaign being car
ried on by the opposition. Mr.
Chamberlain is going about the
state with a' paint pot in each
hand. Out of one he is pictur
ing himself as the paragon of
public and private virtue, the
cynosure of the democratic politi
cal constellation, the beau ideal 1
of the royal and select order of
hail fellows. Out of the other
; he is daubing a distorted picture
jin dirty colors and labeling it
! "W. J. Furnish." If Mr.
Chamberlain had that sense of
modesty common to ordinary
people, said Mr. Fultou, I be
lieve he would leave- the task of
eulogizing himself to sortie third
party. I have been with Mr.
Furnish throughout this cam
paign, and I have the first lime
to hear him say an unkind word,
either privately or in public con
cerning his opponent.
Refering to Mr. Chamberlain's
evasion of the Philippine plank
in the democratic state platform
aud his statement that a party
stood on one national platform
until another had been adopted,
Mr. Fulton called attention to
the fact that by his own admis
sion Mr. Chamberlain still stands
on the democratic national plat
form of iqoo which declares for
scuUle.
The speaker quoted Mr.
Chamberlain's statement that the
constitution of this state had
been violated when its officers
all of the "constitutional "officers?
on nat salaries notwitnstanciag
the apparent limitation contain
ed in the "constitution itself.''
After roaring about- violation of
the constitution, Mr. Chamber
lain finally discovered that the
constitutional limitation is only
"apparent." "
We have not the space to de
vote to Mr. Fulton's able and
logical effort that it deserves.
He riddied every plank in the
democratic platform, and made
Mr. Chamberlain look like thirty
cents marked down.
After the exercises at the
Opera House, an informal re
ception was held by Mr. Fur
nish at the Occidental. JHe was
kept busy accepting congratula
tions upon the splendid pr
FGiiTTH ANNUAL fESTlVU,
prospects
for his own success, and that of
the party generally.

Corvallis, Ore., May 14, 1002.
Editor Gazette:
I understand that interested
parties, m an attempt to injure
Mr. C. E. Woodson m his can
didacy for judge of this county
in the coming election, are cir
culating the report that nobody
in this county knows anything
of Mr. Woodson previous to the
time of his coming to Corvallis
about three years ago; that it is
being insinuated that he is weak
and iratic in character and hab
ts, and is a man of no business
ability. These reports will, of
course, have no weight with
business men and citizens of
Corvallis, who have learned to
regard Mr. Woodson as a man
of firm character, pure in his so
cial life, and a leader in all pub
ic movements tending to the up
building of this community and
Benton county. But those per
sons in distant parts of the coun
ty who have no personal acquain
tance, with Mr. Woodson, and
whom these reports are designed
to influence, should not be de
ceived by them.
A high regard for Mr.Wood
son, which has grown out of an
intimate acquaintance with him
for the past seventeen years, j
moves irie to write this article in
his be half. As t say, I have
known Mr. Woodson for the past
seventeen vears.
Fliave found him to posess quali
ties of sterling worth. My first
acquaintance with .-him began in
Clackamas county, where he had
the confidence and esteem of all
with whom he came in contact.
I have watched htm irraduallv
work his way upward. I have
known him as a farm laborer, as
a stage driver, as a clerk in a
general merchandise store, where
all the duties and responsibilities
of manager were reposed in him ;
as a student, as an instructor in
the university, as a lawyer, and
he has always been successful in
his everv undertaking.
I take the greatest pleasure in
recommending him to the citi
zens of Benton county for the of-
nce or county judge. tie is a
broadmiuded man of sound judg
ment; conservative- and scrupu
lously honest. He will admin
ister the affairs of the county
without partiality and with firm
ness and justice to all.

.TIieEvent of the Year in this State.
"When the "Willamette Valley
Choral Union was cganizect four
years ago, its promoters did iot
dare toyhopethat their earnest wish
es for its great success would Tn
this May-morn of its youth r?ah
so glorious a consummation as that
realized at the Festival which has
just closed in this city. '
When, through the efforts of Mr.
Wallis Xash, Corvallis was selected
as the place to hold the Festival in
1902, timid ones said "We cannot
hope to equal what has been ac
complished by Salem, Eugene and
Albany." But Mr. Sash. Mr. B
W. Johnson and thosa other in
domitable gentlemen unto , whose
nana the management - of this
event was placed, answered: "A
high standard has been set, the la
bor will be great and the responsi
bihty is enormous, but with the
people of old Corvallis at our back
we wnl master the task imposed."
Their success is manifest and the
completion of - their purpose is wel
wortn tne labor of attaining, and
the result is a musical triumph for
these gentlemen, for the performers,
soloists, chorus and orchestra: for
Corvallis, the state of Oregon and
the Northwest. It is the musical
event in the history of this section
of the country.
The concert by the members of
the Portland Symphony Orchestra,
Tuesday night, was a most auspici
ous introduction to thi3 feast of
music and of s hit. The orchestra
program included selections from
Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Moszkow-
ski and Greig. W. Gifford Nash
conducted, ' Such music as these
forty players rendered has rarely
been equalled on this coast. The
audience sat entranced. Mosz
kowski's "From Foreign Parts,'
drew such a storm of applause that
it was repeated.
Mr. Frazer received an encore for
his daintily -rendered piano solo.
The soprano solo, from Tannhaus
er, by Mrs. Rose Bloch-Bauer was
to many the event of the program
and. they waited with eager delighV
for her appearance. No higher
compliment could have been paid
Mrs. Lauer than the glad acclaim
accorded her performance. Nature
has endowed this little lady with a
magnificent vocal organ, and been
lavish in her bestowal of the drama
tic instinct.
Near the close of ihe program the
T . It ..1
orcnesira responded witu two ex

audience.

Brooker occurred in this city last
Sunday and the following day
the remains were taken to Port
land and interred in the Lone
Fir cemetery.
The cause of death was Bright's
Disease, with which she had suf
fered for two months prior to her
death. It had been the intention
of Mr. and Mrs. Brooker to move
to Portland during the fore part
of next month to take up their
residence, had Mrs. Brooker
lived.
Mr. and Mrs. Brooker came
from England to Corvallis in
1S79, where the lived until
1891, when, they moved to Port
laud. They made their home on
East Side for several years, when
they removed to Corvallis. Hsr
husband, Richard Brooker, was
in partnership with J. A. Wilson
in an extensive sheep ranch near
Corvallis. Mrs. Brooker was 65
years of age, and w-as a woman
of highest worth. Her husbaud

Mrs. Icy Plummer.
Mrs. Icy Plunamer died at the
home of her sister, Mrs. Cathy, in
this citv, Saturday, after an illness
of sixteen months. Twelve or thir
teen years ago Mrs. Plummer fell a
victim to cancer of the breast. Al
though a severe operation for its re
moval had been performed the
dread disease refused to be concuor-
ed and death finally resulted; Du
ring all the period of pain and suf
fering which ha3 followed the first
appearance of this affliction, Mrs.
Plummer was patient and uncom
plaining. She bore it all with
christian fortitude and womanlv
resignation, until God placed His
finger on her and she slept.
The funeral occurred from the
Cathey residence at 12 o'clofk Sun
day. Rev. L. R. Bond, of Soda
vilie, formerly Mrs. Plummer'spas
tor, conducted the service assisted
