Dr. Withycombe reports the farm work progressing very satisfactorily un der the supervision of Prof. Lcken ly.

Ahout six weeks ago T. W. Dil ley loaned a young man a Vidette bicycle to ride to Eugene, the bor rower promising to express the wheel back to Mr. Dilley. The young fellow claimed that h want ed to go to Eugene to visit bis aged mother. Time passed and the wheel was not returned. The owner made inquiries, but learned nothing fur ther than that the young man had tried to sell the wheel to various parties for different sums. The joung man's old mother finally grew suspicious that all was not right and wrote to relatives here to look into the matter with the result that Mr. Dilley was found and the wheel returned to him last Thurs day. Out of regard for the young man's mother Mr. Dilley took no action in this matter, as it is hard, indeed, to be the mother of a way ward son. Tuis young fellow has certainly made a bad start in life.

The alumni re-union and ban quet occurred in the evening in the Armory. There was a splen did attendance and the banquet was of such au order that left nothing to be desired. When all were at the banquet table, Prof. John -Fulton, in a neat speech presented the class of 1903 to the association. J. H. Gibson, pres ident, received the class into the association in a fitting response. Mr. Gibson acted as toast master an;! at the conclusion of the banquet the following toasts were given: "ine -uream 01 Life," bv Miss Blanche Hoi den; "Prisoners of Hope," by E. A. Tulley; and "The Ladies," by Wm. Y. Masters. By request, Miss Edith Gibson, who recently arrived home on a vacation from Boston, where she has been studying music in the New -England Conservatory for the past two years, played piano solo. She gave a good rendition of Chopin's C sharp minor polonaise. It was unfor tunate that the pedal of the piano was not m working order, as this detracted greatly from the ef fects she sought to produce. However, all were pleased, and she has made great progress dur ing the past two years. After the banquet dancing aud general conversation wera en gaged in until about 11 p. m., when the commencement exer cises of O A C were a thing of the past for 1902. Just About Roads. Roadtnaster Smith left yester day for Kings Valley where he will remain for a couple of days overseeing the road work in that neighborhood, and ascertaining- the condition of bridges. Road improvement is progress ing rapidly and systematically in nearly every district in the coun ty. Splendid results are being accouiDlished under the new law. More good is being accomplished in a shorter time aud for the money expended than ever be fore. Last Saturday evening completed seven and one-half days of gravel hauling in the Corvallis districts and 1165 loads had been distributed in that time on the five roads leading oat of this city, and there is enough left of the 2 per cent, tax to pay for 200 loads more. From 25 to 30 teams have been hauling dai ly. Each load measures ;a full yard, and every man employed received wages commensurate with the work performed. In road district No. 16, in the Bruce neighborhood, Supervisor Albert Zierolf has had 500 loads of gravel distributed. Down at Wells, Supervisor E. M. Dodele has had one mile of road on the Reed hill covered with crushed rock, and Supet visor Fehler has been no less active in Philomath district. Much gravel has been placed on the roads leading out of that city. Supervisor Monroe Childers began yesterday with a number of teams to put gravel on the roads of Willamette dis trict. John Rickaid is receiving more compliments than any other supervisor in the county. He has charge of the work on the road leading from Corvallis to Monroe. He superintends the placing of every load of gravel, and with his shovel spreads it evenly. It is said that a string stretched from one end to the other of the five miles of road just graveled under his supervi sion would touch every part of it. Monroe Picnic. The be6t picnic of this season so far as our own county is concerned, was held at Monroe on Saturday, Juue 14, under the auspices of the schools aud the Modern Woodmen of America. Sudi. Denman had charge of the work of the schools, and Hon. E. H. Belknap officiated in a like manner for the Woodmen. The day was ideal, and each of the 2000 peo ple assmbled to spend a day together wa3 in a good, old fashioned picnic mood. At ten o'clock, the procession of 200 echool children with their flags and badgei and from 75 to 1J0 woodmen with a beautifui-float started from the Post office, led by the O A C band, and marched to the grounds, just east of Monroe. The nay's pleasures began with an ad dress of welcome by Mr. G. A. Peterson, who proved himself to be a pleasing and ready speaker. Another feature of the program deserving special mentien was the Sth grade graduating exercises of the pupils from the schools of this part of the county. Supt. Denman has again shown his usefulness and foresight by thua giv ing this work the recognition it deserves. The following were the members of the class: Misses Inez "Williams, Golda Howard, Beta Price, Edith Price, Ber tha Edwards, Floy Haw lev, Florence Zierolf, Iva Barclay, Mandilene Nichols and Miss Irvine; Messrs. John Minton George Tompkins. The following exer ciees was given by the class : Salutatory Golda Howard, recitations, Inez "Wil liams, Edith Price, Floyd Hawley Man aeiine JNichols. John Minton; essay Florence Zierolf ; valedictory, Keta Price. Rev. M. Peck, of Monroe, made the ad dress to the class. Hia address was full of good advice to the young. Sapt, Dan man then presenced the diplomas to the class. The exercises by the thirteen schools were of a high character. The pupils reflected credit on oar schools, teic hers and parents. The quartette, consisting of Mrs. M M. Waltz, Mrs. J. II. Edwards. Mr. R J. Nichols and Mr. Wilbur Starr furnish ed some excellent selections. Mr. C. F, Atkins kindly assisted by sinking two solos. Hon. M. A. Miller, Senator-elect, of Linn county, and the state lecturer for the M. W. A. gave an excellent address. Mr. Miller is an able and eloquent speak er. The manner in which his address was received was well shown by the ap plause that greeted him at its close. The contests of the day as arranged by Supt. Denman and the Camp of Monros did much to enliven the day's work, Many contests were held and many were those who entered. Among the contests were : flour eatiug contest, drinking con test, threading needle on jug, sawing contest, chopping . contest, nail driving, foot races, aud catching greased pig. The Modern Woodmen, of Monroe, showed themselves to be a wide-awake, enthusiastic order. The members of the Camp deserve much credit for their alert ness. A camp made up' of such mem bers is bound to succeed and make its influeace felt in the community where it works. Valley Lodge Woa. Twenty-five knights from Val ley Lodge No. 11, K. of P., of Corvallis attended the district convention of the order held at Salem last Saturday. Over 250 visitors were in attendance, rep resenting Laural Lodge No. 7, of Albam'; Valley Lodge No. 11, ot Corvallis; Home Lodge No. 35, of Silverton; Leon idas Lodge No. 56, of Scio; Homer Lodge No. 45, of Independence; Arion Lodge No. 57, of Hubbard; Her mes Lodge No. 56, of Aurora, and Diana Lodge No. 63. of Mc- Minnville. The chief feature of the con vention, or at least the one which excited the most interest, was the competitive degree work be tween teams from the various lodges in the district in conferr ing the Knight rank. Prizes were offered as follows: First prize, conferring of degree, pair of' silvef -plated altar swords; second prize, pair of nickle-plated urns; prizes for officers for the completion of degrees of Knight, best "King, Past Chancellor's Jewel, and for the best Pythago- raSj Past Chancellors Jewel. Of the result of this contest the Statesman says: "The degree team of Valley Lodge No. 11, of Corvallis, per formed perfectly in the competi tive degree work, received tre mendous aoplause and was awar led the first prize of an ele- oratir nair nf sii vpr-rYIflteri altar 1 r swords. As best 'King' F. W. Steusloff was easily a winner and carried off the prize, a Past Chancellor's Jewel, and George Paul quite as' easily carried eft the honors as best 'Pythagoras' and the award of a Past Chancel lor's Jewel," The convention was called to order by L. R. Stinson, G. K. R. S. at 7:30 o'clock in the eve ning. Hon. F. T. Wrightman, Grand Tribune, delivered the ad dress of welcome which was re sponded to by a representative from each visiting lodge. J. F. Yates, of this city, did the hon ors for Valley lodge, and he did them with credit to himself and his brother knights. An elaborate banquet followed the evening's program. Those who attended from this city are loud in their expressions ef praise of the cordial treatment and hospitality shown them by the knights of Salem. A Timely Suggestion. Drug clerks should be in dealing ex out treraely careful their wares to a Especially in trusting public, measuring out powders care should be exercised and no guess work indulged in. A case which might easily have caused some druggist serious trouble happened a few days ago in the west part ot Corvallis A lady took a powder to relieve" neuralgia pain, and immediately became numb throughout the body, though still able to use her vocal organs. She sat for some time perfectly helpless, and it was several ' hours before the ef fects of the dru wore entirely away. The powder taken was prepared ior a reliable physician's prescription and surely a mistake of carelessness in measuring the powder into doses, by the drug- gist, was result. resoonsible for such Fryer Hit the Mark. Tuesday of last week was class day at the college, and following time honored custom the senior fla was hoisted over the administration building to remain until the day': program had been completed. The juniors hare a time-honored cus tom, also, and that is to see that the senior flag does -not float. The flag was placed at the mast head about 10 o'clock Tuesday morning and the trouble began. Strategy was employed at first to trail the senior emblem, and it came nea being 8uccesstui. with tnree or four stalwart seniors standing guard at the foot of the nag staff, and the trap door leading to the'tower over which the class colors floated fasten ed down, it was no easy matter to reach the flag. A rifle was secured and the' unerring aim of Student Fryer sent a ball through the pulley at the mast head and the deed was done. But the seniors were equal to the emergency. I hey - nailed the ll-ig to a pole and lashed it to the staff. Baffled, but undaunteJ, the juniors held a counsel of war and deter mined to take the tower by storm A desperate encounter followed in which the seniors were worsted, but the guard at the tower withstood the attack. Finally the besiegers withdrew and the nag waved until the completion of the day's program Additional Local. Ride a Rambler. Galling cards for the ladies at the Gazette office.
