Corvallis celebrated Between S bowers ' nnd the Biz Crowd bad a Good Time. ' It takes something more than rain to dampen the patriotic ardor of an American citizen, and especially if that citizen be an Oregonian. Last Thursday was wet and cheerless and gave no promise of anything better on the morrow, yet preparations for the celebration did not abate. Contrary to expectations and in dications the weather on the Fourth was fairly decent. A few light showers fell during the dav. but not enough to interfere with the program as scheduled The crowd, too, was double what was expected. The parade formed in the fol lowing order at the City Hall, and moved at 10:30 a, m.: Goddess of Liberty, Miss Mary Danneman, in chariot drawn by four white horses, Shedd band; float, peace and plenty; float. Martha Washington, Miss Gracie Sjnith, and George Washington, Master Victor Nolan; liberty car filled with children representing the states and territories; citizens in carriages. The parade halted at the court house square where the literary program occurred. After music by the Corvallis and Shedd bands, J. B. Irvine, president of the day, introduced Herman Tartar, who read the Declaration of Inde pendence. Judge H. H. North- rup. ot .Portland, tne orator 01 the day, was then introduced. He had scarcelv began his ora- tion, whea he was interrupted Dy the worst shower ot the day. The audience voted to remove to the circuit court room, and the address was completed there. Judga Northrup did not content himself with delivering a spread eagle speech, full of fustian and bluster as is common with Fourth of July orators, but regaled his audience with a polished, sensible address. The morning program of sports consisted of a ball game between a team from Willamette and a picked nine from this city, which resulted in a' victory for the form er by a score of 11 to 4; a clay pigeon shoot between Philomath and Corvallis teams with the following entries: Philomath Frink, Newton, Allen and Bryan; Corvallis Burnett, Lilly, Elgin, Dillv and Smith. Each team scored 33 paints. The following program of athletic events occurred 011 Main street' in the afternoon: 100-yard dash Woodcock, of Corvallis, 1st; Parker, of Albany, 2nd. Prize, $10. 440-yard dash Roy Wood cock, 1 st; Moore, 2nd; Beach, 3rd. Prize, $10. 50-yard dash Woodcock, 1st; Burnett, 2nd.

The boat race on the river from the O R & N dock to the ferry and return was won by Bert Winkie; prize, $10. A dance at the Opera House in the evening was largely at tended and completed the eve' ning's program. Was ttot Young Bell. The bodv found last week, a few miles south of Independence, saoDOsed to be that of a son of Caotain Bell, proved to - be that of another. The Enterprise says Sunday morning Chris Bell, a brother of the supposed dead man. accompanied by a friend named Ferrell, came up from Portland, and were taken to the office of T. D. Irvine, where the bones were stored awav, and per mitted to examine them. Both men were positive that the re mains were not of young Bell. In the first place, Bell never wore a shoe over a No. 5, while the shoe found was easily a number 7. The lower iaw of the dead man had teeth very uneven, while both men testified that Bell's teeth were even, very small and had many fillings. The bones would indicate a very tall erect man; Bell was about five feet and very scooped. Thi blue unitorm was the only thing in common. Who, or how the body came where it was, seems to be des tined a mystery. And the most mysterious part of it is that this is the third body to be found within a radius of a few miles during the past three years, and the identity of each seems to be destined to forever remain a secret. I In the other two instan ces evidence of violent death by suicide or murder was easily ascertainable. In this instance there is no hope of ever - ascer taining even- the method by which the man met his death. A. Military Play. The Fourth of July is calculat ed to bring a man's patriotism to the surface. To one who is of a martial spirit a . taste of good wine will work wonders on this day above all others. There are none of us old enough to have any personal knowledge of the struggle that gained our national independence, but there were later struggles that finally result ed in victories for our arms, and these are events that furnish food for a reminiscent mind. But all of this is a little distant from what we desire to relate. On last Friday, our "Glorious Fourth," two old chums, one of whom had seen service in the Philippines during the late un pleasantness between this coun try and Spain, were so unfortu nate as to imbibe too freely ot the filling of the "flowing bowl" anl found themselves prisoners of war, confined to barracks in the city bastile. The one who was by instinct a 1tj a. warrior bold, concluded to put his chum, a raw recruit, by the way, through the manual of arms. He procured a "broom and pa tiently drilled the recruit. All went well and in an incredibly short time the man became pro ficient in the use of this play firearm. It then became necessary "to go to war." ne rniuppine veteran played he was a Filipino and the newly inspired soldier got in ambush behind a box and shot him with the broom. This military play was very exciting and while it continued the crowd of spectators increased. The two actors of this military drama were unconscious ot the attrac tion they were presenting or of the "house." In this manner they passed a day that will ever remain green in their memories. Colportage Wagon No. 23. The era of the colportage wagon in Oregon began Sunday, June 29, 1902. At the hour ot ?o, in the afternoon, in tront of the First Baptist church, Port land, this wagon was dedicated and appropriate services observ ed. This is known-as wagon "KTr, ri fVm men tine on the wagon, tne racinc capusi says: "The box is eight teet long, forty-four inches wide, and thirtv inches high.

Mr. R. M. Cramer has personally supervised the construction which has been most thorough. We are greatly indebted to the builders for the personal interest they have tak en, which has contributed so much to the completeness of the waffon. They are master Duna- ers. The total cost of the wagon and accessories approximates $225." . . . THp micsinnarv placed in charge of this wagon is Rev. J. L.

The oppressive quiet of a Cor vallis Sabbath was disturbed last Sunday by preparations for a horse race. The painful still ness which as a rule is broken onlv bv the solemn tones of the church bell, was rudely dispelled by the clatter of hoofs and the sound of many voices. What is to become of us? Are we going to forsake the example of our Puritan ancestorsr and depart from the ways of the Pilgrims? Is Sundav horse-racinara fad or a fixture: a generally accepted con dition, or a coming political issue? But to the event in question : A horse race, ffrowmsr out ot a similar event July 4th, was ar ranged for last Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The place was Kiger's track; the stakes, $10 a side. The animals were the property of Clyde Cook and Gene Tortora, and each was to be ridden by his owner. The dis tance was a quarter of a mile. By the time the horses were ready to start a crowd, number ing '200 or 300, had gathered, and a couple of hundred dollars were up on the outcome. The horses were to start from the crack of the pistol. Gene's ani mal was left on the mark, and the judges gave the race to Cook. Gene toak his defeat like a phil osopher and a sportsman: Another race was immediately arranged for $25 a side and horse against horse. Gene's horse got slightly the better of the start and was leading by three lengths when the first 200 yards had been covered. But the hoodoo was on him. At the halfway post he plunged into the ditch, stumbled for a dozen strides and fell. Gene went over his head and the spectators held their breath. Over they went, horse and rider together. The fright ened animal regained its feet and galloped across, the field, while Gene got up grinning and brush ed the mud from the bosom ot his trousers. The crowd caught its breath just as Cook's mare passed under the wire, a winner. Gene bought his norse uacK for $50 and another race is n process of incubation. Ben Scott Stabbed. A telegram from her daughter, Grace, called Mrs. John Scott to The Dalles, Friday, to be at the bedside of her son, Ben, who was lying at the point of death. he cause of his condition is thus explained by a dispatch in Sunday's Oresronian: While under the influence ot iquor yesterday, Alva Wilcox, a resident of Sherman county, stabbed and severely wounded Ben Scott, a well-known young man of this city. Scott was with a number of friends when oined bv Wilcox, who was in toxicated and quarrelsome. With out warning, it is alleged, Wil cox drew a knife, stabbing Scott in the side before his intention was realized. Scott's wound is considered a dangerous one. Additional Local.
