CARED NOT tOB RUV.
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.

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. The inside
is divided into four compart
ments, forty-four inches long and
fourteen inches high, in which to
carry the appurtenances of the
waexn. the personal effects of the
tnissinnarv. and the stock of
books, Bibles, etc. There is al-
so a compartment in wuitu iu
place a folding organ The
canopy top is so arranged that it
can be raised from its usual posi
tion five feet above the bed ot
the wagon to a point seven and a
halt feet above the 'bed of the
wagon. With the top of this
raised, the missionery has a plat
form which amply accomodates
himself, his organ and an organ
ist, and from which he can con
duct an open air service
The Cramer Organ and Wagon
Company of Corvallis are the
builders. 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. Whirrev, of McMinnville, for
merly pastor of the Baptist
church at Stayton.

Sunday Horse-Racing.
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.
