Harvey Sargeant has just placed a fender back of his shooting gallery for the protection of those who might be in the rear of the gallery luring target practice. A few days ago a party whose nerves were un steady missed the buliseye so far that the bullet sppd ac ross country and passed through it window in Marshall Miller's residence. The fender is of fuflicient proportions to make it a good protection for par ties anywhere in the rear of the gallery. In case a man is so poor a shot that he cannot hit tho gal lery from the inside there still may hf some danger. During the recent high water, E. j?. Wilson, the popular young attor ney of this city, -telephoned to Dick Kig'-r for information regarding the wild duck situation in that, neighborhood.

Small & Son have a su perior article of mixed candy which' they are offering three pounds lor 2;" cents: and itillv beans, two pounds for 25 cents. The case, mentioned in Friday's Gazette, wherein several Corvallis youths were suspected of having purloined various articles from the store of E. J. Dunn, has been set- I'lt-d out of court. The boys paid for what they had taken and set tled the co3t incurred. During iho recent .frosty nights some of tho boys near the central part of town poured a lot of water on the sidewalk, thereby creating a skating link that was second to none.

Lst Thursday evening, .-Mor-dauut Goodnough, director of the department of music at the O A C, gave a pupils' recital. A good-sized audience greeted the young people when they assem bled in the chapel. Although there are about forty pupils en rolled in this department, but A. twelve appeared on the program Promptly at the appointed hour the exercises began. The pro gram consisted of piano numbers by various well-known compo sers, even including Chop'in and Brahms. The program was ren dered with a great degree of con fidence on the part of the pupils and during the entire recital no blunders were made, which is somewhat unusual when it is un derstood that everyone of the pu pils was new to the concert stage. The audience proved ap preciative and they were liberal and impartial with their ap plause. Mr. Goodnough has been in charge of the department but three - months and he has every right to be pleased with the performance of his pupils. He, as well as the pupils are to be congratulated. Miss Mabel Cronise, vocalist, assisted Mr. Goodnough by sing ing two numbers. Her numbers were, "Come Jesus Redeemer" and "Nach Sevilla," and she was heartily encored, responding to a recall on one number. She was in splendid voice that evening and fully upheld the reputation she has gained as a vocalist. She has a sweet voice of unusual range and technique. While all of the pupils acquit ted themselves in the most cred itable manner, special mention is due the playing of Mr. White, Alpha Murray and little Miss Pearl Horner. The little miss, if she continues to do as gcodj work in the future as she has in j the past, will develop into a pi aniste of yreat merit. - i In conclusion, we cannot re- j frain from rebuking those wl:o were so iguoraut, ill-mannered and ill-bred as to chatter and oirrrrle' during the rendition of & a ..... , rr .1 . several or me numo:rs. ii rue disturbance was made in a spirit ot pure "cusscdness" the perpe trators should be bastinadoed. But if, on the other hand, the party or parties, guilty of this of- j lense, are so ignorant as to know no better, it is hard to define a remedy, but to be on the safe side, they might stay at home j next time. Prof. McKay Visits O. A. C. Professor G. L. McKay, head of the dairy department of the state agricultur al college- of Iowa, who came to Oregon to attend the Oregon Farmers' Congress, was a vieitor to the Agricultural College at this city last week. He was greatly pleased with the work he saw at the ex periment station. Professor McKay was appointed a special dairy expert by the United States Department of Agriculture ta visit Eu ropean countries in 1900 and study the conditions of the d,iiry industry. He visited Holland, Belgium, Denmark, Germany and England, and made a full report of his observations to the Depart ment of Agriculture. His knowledge of the subject as gained by his studies ia this country and his special investigation j in Europe make him an authority unsur passed by none on this subject. The absence of extremes of tempera ture Professor McKay considers a very great advantage in this state, for obvious reasons. As one consequence of the very favorable climatic conditions, the season is very long during which green feed may be had, and the ' quantity of forage plants that may be grown on an acre of ground is probably surpassed nowhere else. The climate, Professor McKay says, is much like that of Holland, and it has been determined that climate has much to do with the flavor of cheese. Tho same conditions which give Holland cheese and the Oanadian cheddar cheese their excellent flavor should also make Oregon cheese equal to them in this re spect. The fact that peas and barley make an excellent crop in Oregon leads Professor McKay to lhe conclusion that bacon pork can be produced here with great success. Speaking on the subject, he said : "Thore 13 r.o question ia my mind but that dairy products and bacou pork can j be p reduced in Oregon cheaper than i.i any other country in the world. I am deeply impressed with tho outlook for these industries in this state, favored as it is by the wonderful advantages of cli mate and feed production." The corn-fed pork is no longer counted the best in the u:arket, for that produced by a feed of peas and barley brings a cent a pound more i-i the Eastern mar kets. This feed gives the desired "streak o' fat and streak o' lean," which makes the best bacon. With the development of dairying, which is now certain, and the abundance of good hog feed other thau the f-kim milk, Professor McKay thinks that the production of pork should increase rapidly until Oregon supplies not only her own markets, ' but aiao the markets of other Coast States and Alas ka. Tiie market for both dairy products and pork products Professor McKav con siders practically unlimited. Just before he left "Wash igtoa "recently he hada conversation with Secretary Wilson, ef the Department of Agriculture, ia which the latter said that' the coast states can find a market across the Pacific for all their surplus dairy products. ' . "Oregon Literature. "We ara in receipt of a copy of "Oregon Literature," from the publishers; J. K. Gill & -Co , of Portland, which we are asked to review. John B., Horner,' A, M , Lilt. D. , professor of history and lat in in the State Agricultural College of Oregon, ia the compiler. Tha edition is just from the pressland is the second and larger volume, under the same titta by Professor Horner. It contains 253 pages, is neatly and substantially hoand, and the paper used is of excellent quality. Numerous half-tones serve to illustrate and embellish the context. They in clude a group of the five pioneer college and university presidents B. L, Arnold, Sidney H. Marsh, T. F. Campbell, Thoa. M. Gatch and John W. Johnson; like nesses of authors, orators and journalists, who, in the opinion of the compiler, de serve a place in a work on literature, and upon whom Oregon has a claim. Various bits of Oregon scenery add to the attractiveness of the volume. Much tasle has been displayed in the selection and arrangement of the half-tones illus trating Simpson's "Beautiful "Willam' ette," making this the feature of the book. Professor Horner has proved himself an assiduous compiler, and one muet ad mire the energy, enterprise and indostry he has displayed in collecting the data contained in his little book, but in "se lecting nuggets mid6t a Klondyke of literary gems," it is evident that he has mistakenjhe boundaries of his claim in some instants; and his desire to over look no specimen of whatever value is responsible, no doubt, for the presence of considerable mica. We- find the title, "Oregon Literature," therefore, a misno mer. Much matter in the compilation ia not literature, and many of the writers quoted can not be claimed by Oregon. Professor Horner is of a too-sympathetic disposition to select "judiciously and se verely" where the literary efforts of hia friends are appealing for recognition. He has given U3 a readable little book, and much that i& contains posterity will not williDgly let die, bat he has not suc ceeded in lidding us of the conviction that Oregon is too young to have a liter ature distinctly her own, or of the bs lief that she has produced more, than t'ireo or four writers who3e efforts are worthy of serious cousideratioa.
