' Among the effects which fell into the hands of Miss Kate Ge r hard, of this city, on the death of her friend, Mrs. Margaret Ma dy, in Albany recently, was a copy of the Ulster County Ga zette, No. 88, VoL II, published by Samuel Freer and Son, Jan 4, 1800; price ,25 cents. - It is a most valuable piece of old paper, containing as it does the notice of the entombment o the remains of General George Washington, whose aeath occurr ed on the 14th of December, 1799. The paper is printed in mourning. . u nder the su o-head 'Washington Entombed" is the following notice: "On Wednesday last, the mor tal part of Washington the great The Father of his Country and Friend of .Man -was consigned to the tomb, with solemn honors and funeral pomp. "A multitude at persons as sembled, from many miles around at Mt. Vernon, the choice abode and last residence of the illustri ous chief.- There were tne groves, tne spacious avenues, tne beautiful and sublime scenes, the noble mansion but, alas! the usfc inhabitant was now no more. That great soul was gone. His mortal part was there indeed; but ah! how affeeting! how awful the spectacle of such worth . and greatness, thus, to mortal eves fallen! yes! fallen! fallen! "In the long and lofty porti cos, where oft the Hero walked in all his glorv, now lay the shrouded corpse. The counte nance was composed the dignity of the spirit, which late ly dwelt in that lifeless form. There these who paid the last sad honors to the benefactor of his country, took an impressive a farewell view. "On the ornament, at the head of the coffin, was inscribed surge ad Judicium about the middle of the coffiin, Gloria Deo and on the silver plate, 'GENERAL GEORGE WASHINGTON . Departed this life, on the 14th December, 1799, Et, 68.' ," Decscriptive of the occasion are the following paragraphs: "Between three', and "four o'clock, the sound of artillery from a vessel in the river, firing minute cruris, awoke afresh our solemn sorrow the corpse was moved a band of - music with mournful melody melted the soul into - all the tenderxess of woe." "When the procession had ar rived at the bottom of the elevat ed lawn, on the banks of the Potomac, where the family vault is placed, the cavalry halted, the infantry marched toward the Mount and formed their lines the clergy, the Masonic Brothers, and the Citizens, descended to the Vault, and the funeral ser vice ot the Church was perform ed. The firing was repeated from the vessel in the river, and the sounds echoed from the woods and hills around." 'Three general discharges bv the infantry--the cavalry and 11 pieces of artillery, which lined the banks of the Potomac back ot the Vault, paid the last tri bute to the entombed Command er in Chief of the Armies of the United States and to the depart ed Hero." "The sun was now setting, Alas! the son of glory was set forever. No the name of WASHINGTON the American President and General will tri umph over death! The un clouded brightness of his glory will illuminate the future ages." and "Elijah"- for the last night.

Manager Glen, of the festival to be given at Eugene next May by the Willamette Valley Choral Union, has been in Corvallis for the past several days making ar rangements for getting rehears al work "under wayin this city. As a result of his labors, rehears als will begin next Wednesday night at the college' chapel, and will occur once each week for the present. -Ail local vocalists, who desire to join the chorus, and have a determination to practice faithfully and participate in the festival at Eugene, are in vited to appear at the . college chapel Wednesday evening at 7:45. Mr. Otto Herse will di rect the Corvallis chorus. The program .for the festival at Eugene, contemplates a con cert by the Portland Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Edgar Coursen on the first night; "Feast of Adonis," and "Re demption,1 the second . evening; There is to. be no football game next Saturday, between teams from OAC arid Albany College. The great blow and bluster in dulged in by the management of the champions of Linn county some weeks ago, bas been gradu ally growing weaker, until it fi nally winked out in an expiring gasp last Saturday evening. .Knowing that OAC had every available date filled up to Thanks giving, partisans of the Albany team began aspiring to the cham pionship of the state, and taunted i the farmers with being afraid to meet the Albany aggregation. Manager Johnson on behalf of the Agricultural College team, sent Albany College a challenge for a game after -Thanksgiving, which Manager. Thompson re fused to accept. He, however, sent a counter challenge which stipulated that the game be plav- ed on the Albany grounds on December 6th, 1002, the details to be agreed upon by the mana gers of the teams. - - Before this challenge reached he farmers, they had considered Albany's failure to accept their i first proposition, and, being ex ceedingly anxious to nip the as pirations of the Albany school, they sent a challenge containing five propositions, giving Albany er choice. - What followed is thus told by the Albany Democrat: ' "In a telephone conversation last evening between Coach Ed wards and Manager Johnson of the Corvallis team, Manager 1 hompson ot the Albany team being sick, arrangements were made for a game on the college campus at this city on Saturday, uecemoer o, wituout gate re ceipts." ' The Albany Herald gave a like account,; showing that it was thoroughly understood at Albany as well as at Corvallis that defi nite and final arrangements had been made for the game. The terms named in Albany's chal lenge that the game be played in Albany, Dec. 6th, and that details be agreed upon by the managers (Edwards officially rep resented. 1 nompson, who - was sick) were all complied with. The OAC management be lieving that Albany was acting in good faith, began preparing for the game. Coach Herbold was engaged for an additional ten days and Coach McFadden, 01 dtaniora, was securea as an assistant. Arrangements were also made to run a big excursion to Albany on the day of the game. Then Manager Thompson, of Albany desired to- negotiate again. He wanted to alter the conditions already agreed to, Although OAC had offered to play at Albany and divide the gate receipts after the expenses of the teams had been paid, Al bany chose to refuse this proposi The season for killing China j pheasants "closed Sunday. - Game Warden Quimby estimates that .S.ooo - upland birds - have been killed since the season opened. Mr. Quimbv believes there have not been so many viola tions ot the law as during former I seasons, Out there was enough 1 to: keep him and. his deputies busy. In fact, at the present time, sev eral cases are pending. . The Warden has confiscated one case sent from Benton county, and consigned to - parties in . Seattle, as well as three other - lots from other places intended .for San Francisco parties. Oner of the latter confiscation was shipped by a banker in ;: Salem, who claims that the birds were for friends in San Francisco, and while that is undoubtedly the truth, it is iust as much aa in fringement of the law as though they were actually for. sale. If the Warden winked at one per son for sending birds out of the state to friends,, he would soon have his hands full, as many persons would sell them outside and claim that they were giving them away to friends. The line must be drawn somewhere. ' New School House at Monroe. tion, the first one in O A C's challenge, and accept the one providing for a game with jio ad mission fee. Now comes Manager Thomp son, declaring that the team will not play unless an admission fee is charged. It was feared that as Manager Thompson had acted in bad faith in one instance, his conduct might not be better in the future, so he was asked to wire immediately and place him- telf on record as to his inten tions, as the farmers were under heavy expense; which they did not wish to continue if there was tobe no game. Thompson re- mafaed firm in his refusal to play under the conditions that had been agreed upon, and the game was declared on. Uoach Her bold is visiting in Eugene, on his way to Montana, and Coach Mc Fadden has - returned to Forest Grove.

According to the con tract it should have been completed a month ago. It is now painted and plas tered. The windows have been placed ur the casing and the blackboards hare' been completed. The building presents a most attractive appearance. When it is entirely completed it will be one of the best school houses in the county, The rooms are so arranged that by opening folding doors the two rooms can be made into one large room. The halls and cloak-rooms are most conveniently ar ranged. Such a building as this is a credit to the entire county-. It will do much to ward building up Monroe. It will cause many of the citizens of southern Benton to go to Monroe during the winter to ed ucate their children. This will no doubt be the cause of many, new dwellings be ing built. The citizens of this district are to be complimented on their progres sive 6pint. The clerk, Adam YViIhelm Jr., and the board, Mat Wilhelm, James Martin and James Pfouts deserve great praise and credit , for their efforts in se curing such an excellent addition to Monroe. .With such officers - in charge a wide awake and successful school insured. - it! l v::- r V 11,1 - 1 . a. a. a- Tlie Best Dresser We want the man who thinks he's the best dresser in this vicin ity to come in here and try on one of our Hart, Schaffner & Marx suits.
