" Young men are apt to be very particu

fussy: cranky.
It's all right; a good appearance means
a lot to a young fellow sometimes : may
even be his chief asset; it pays to look
well.
We make a specialty of young men's
clothes; styles that have snap and "go"

More than GOO loads of gravel
were hauled and placed on the
ihe roads of this vicinity up to last
Monday evening. The gravel was
hauled from the bar across the
river just above town. Late Mon
day afternoon the ferryboat sprung
a leak and it was only by vigorous;
hailing that Ihe vork could be con
tinued during the balance of the
aflernoou. Tuesday morning tbe
boat was submerged in the water
and the work of hauling had to be
discontinued. The assistance of
Fred Blumhart, an experienced
ferryman, was secured and the boat
repaired, when te::ms and men
were again put at work. At one
time nearly thirty teams were haul
ing gravel. This is graveling the
roads at a very lively rate.
A delicious luncheon was given,
Wednesday evening at tbe residence
of Mrs. E. Woodward in honor of
Misses Elsie and Cathleen Canfield.
The young ladies have attended the
O A C for tho past" three years and
are very popular students. A
number of guests were present at
Mrs. Woodward's and the oecaf'on
was most enjovable. Yesterday
the young ladies left for their home
in Lafayette, Oregon.
Married, Thursday, June 19th,
at n:?o a. m., at the residence
of the bride's mother in this city,
Mr. Ellsworth Erwin and Miss
Maud Iaughliu. After the cere
mony, which was performed by
Kev. iirs. jriuniDerr, tne young
couple left lor Albany, Salem
and Portland, where they will
make short visits. On their re
turn to Corvallis they will be at
home in their new residence at
the corner of 9th and Monroe
streets.
The authorities at O A C are ex
perimenting with silage. They are
putting up two large eilos of clover.
One silo of clover is being put up
whole, just as it comes rrom the
mower, and the other is being chop
ped fine, like saur kraut, before it
is placed in the tank. Steam is
being used to cook the clover in
one silo, and to accomplish this a
pipe 13 run from a boiler and con
nected with the tank. Steam is
kept up all night in order to thor
oughly cook the feed. It is hoped
that something of benefit will be
discovered as the result of this ex
periment. A close watch is being
maintained over tbe work in ques
tion and when the season for feed
ing arrives a record of the two silos
will be kept so that there will be
no doubt of the results of this ex
periment. Senior Play Was a Success.
The senior class entertained their
friends with the grand play, "Ingomar,"
at the Opera House, Tuesday evening.
The undertaking was ambitious, but it
was accomplished quite creditably. The
play is exceedingly difficult, and those
familiar with its requirements, wera ap
prehensive of its suci es8 (in the hands of
wholly inexperienced players. "While
there was no attempt at use o the stage,
in the sense of grooping the players and
producing effects, the various characters
read their lines most intelligently, and
maintained their conception of their roles.
Mr. McGHIivray was the 4-brigVtt, par
ticular ftar." A more finished perform
ance, amatuer or professional, is seldom
eeen in Corvallis, than Mr. MiGilvray's
portrayal of "Polydor." "Miss Thomp

Her work at the close of the third act
was one of the cleverest 1 its cf the eve
ning. Miss Ewing was acceptable as

cast contributed to the success of the eve
ning's entertainment.
The costuming was beautiful and appropriate.
treat upon "The Unification of
the Anglo-Saxon Race." Miss
Ewing is earnest and graceful in
delivery. There was evidence
of much care in the preparation
of her composition. It contain-
eu mucn literary merit, and was
pure in diction. While some
of Miss Ewing's conclusions were
open to debate, she treated her
subject quite intelligently.
John E. Smith, Valedictorian,
is somewhat of a socialist him
self. His oration, "The Gospel
of Discontent, was the gospel
ot the pessimist: albeit, Mr.
Smith had the optimism to treat
it cheerfully. His paper was
well written, and although the
audience was impatient for the
number which was to follow, he
was given close attention.
Strangers present did not need
to be told that Mrs. Walter Reed
is a favorite with Corvallis audi
ences. When her number on
the program .was reached, she
was loudly applauded before its
announcement, and her appear
ance upon the platform was greet
ed with a storm of applause.
Her interpretation is more that
of inspiration than ot art. Her
voice is wonderfully pure and
full throughout its entire com
pass; tne lower tones ricn as
those of the saxophone: the up
per register, soft and flute-like.
The audience insisted upon an j
encore to tne double number,
"Berceuse" by Godard, and
"Just A-Wearing for You," and
Mrs. Reed kindly responded.
But there is music in oratory
as well as in song, and it thrills

enough to say that his effort was
scholarly, that it was fitting,
that it was able. It was more than
this: It was manly; it was cour
ageous; it came from the heart.
His voice is deep and- musical;
his presence distinguished; his
manner dignified No class has
ever left the Agricultural college
more soundly advised or more
wisely counseled than the class of
1902.
Dr. Wise said in part;
The things of which yoa are most in
need today, as you go forth to wage life's
battles, are vision and character. As the
Hebrew proverbialist has put it, "Where
there is no vision the people perish."
Men speak of the gift of vision. The
term does not signify that vision is a
gift, something fallen from the heights of
heaven to tjje depths of earth. There is
no gift in that sense. We must meet the
gifts of God more than half way. The
things of God are not to be had for the
askiDg. Let your vision be your best
gift to yourself, self-given, self-wrought,
self-achieved.
The want of vision fills the legal fra
ternity with pettifoggers instead of up
holders and upbuilders of tbe law; tbe
medical profession with quacks and
charlatans instead of physicians and
healers: the ministry with cunning
priests and calculating bigots, instead of
fearless prophets and preachers, wise,
tolerant and unafraid; the arena of
political lite with shrewd and unprin
cipled politicians, instead of far-seeing
and conscientious statesmen ; the fields
with worthless farmers instead of with
skilled agriculturists ; the factories with
hands inetead of heads.
The state educates you that you in
turn may educate the state. The aim of
the state is not to make men scholars,
but scholars men. Formerly the scholar
was the servant of the church; today
the university and the church must serve
