During the present week J. L.
Gibson bas had workmen employed
at the. task of removing the fire bell
from the old tower of the city hall
to a tower that has been, construct
ed near the center of the roof of the
building. The place that the bell
formerly occupied was never satis
factory for the reason that the ropes
for ringing it did not come straight
down, but pulled off over, the front
of the building1 so twat it was diffi
cult of ; manipulation. Another
cause of complaint was that it was
housed in so that the clang of the
bell did not ring out as it should.
By the present arrangement they
will get direct- attachment and
have the bell in the open so that it
can be heard to a greater distance.
Fire Chief F. P. Sheasgreen has
superintended the work.
-The regular semi-annual meet?
ing of the board of regents of the
Oregon Agricultural College was
held in the office of the president
of the faculty at the college,
Wednesday atternoon. All mem
bers of the board were present,
except Geer, Dunbar and Leedy.
Little, aside from the formal
routine business, claimed atten
tion. r
The resignation "of Professor
Patterson, physical instructor,
was accepted, and President
Weatherford and President Gatch
were authorized to secure a per
son .competent to fill the position.
Regent Killin reported that
the college committee had been
unable to find suitable ground
for a model farm for exhibition
during the Lewis and Clark fair,
and the matter was continued.
Ah order was made to have a
program of the Farmers' Short
Course appear in next year's cat
alogue. A resolution was passed, en
couraging members of the faculty
and station to supply newspapers
and magazines with articles con
taining information concerning
the work of their department cal
culated to be of value to the pub
lic, when such information could
be supplied without embarrassing
the work in any ot the depart
ments. The idea is to acquaint
the public with what the college
is doing through the newspapers
as well as througn Duiietins.
And as soon as an experiment is
completed and definite results as
certained, the board believes that
this knowledge should be dessem
inated through the press of the
state, in concise, readable arti
cles. The idta is'-an excellent
one and is bound to be product
ive of good results.
The board conclude'd its labors
early in the afternoon. The
members accepted the invitation
of Mrs. Haywood to dine at Al
pha Hall, where they enjoyed a
delicious repast after the meeting.
Thinking Makes It So.
The other day, surrounded by
a number ot nis -mends, a prom
inent attorney of this city related
some or his experiences on nis
arrival in Oregon thirty years
ago." He reached Corvallis "dead
broke," about April ist, 1873
He secured the position of honor

of the position;- having . been re
fused by other attorneys an d
the first year received for his ser
vices the "measly" sum :of $15
j Next he was given a sort of
bob-tailed case in Philomath,
won it, and was paid" a dollar or
two. Following in the wake of
this case he was retained for a
"heads-youvwiurtails-you --lose "
proposition in Linn county it
came ' 'heads' ' - for him and he
felt as though he inhabited the
Holy City.
Late in the following fall his
wife was expected to arrive and
he was busy for some time previ

He made several tables, and the
lees of these he coated with a
dark wood stain when the cover
was over them they looked like

and no use for either so he sold
one to assist in keeping soul and

He bought some articles or

Knight for many- months there
after. Finally his wife arrived
and they started housekeeping
with a borrowed stove that had
but three legs it looked-nice
and the attorney and his wife"
were always afraid the owner
would call for it. -
Christmas day dawned and the
young attorney expected tnat
New Years would see him work
ing on the sidewalks of Corvallis.
He had but 75 cents. Of this
sum he "blew" himself for 25
cents worth of ..peanuts and re
ceived about as , manv as one
would get now for a dime. The
peanuts he and his wife ate and
wefe as nappy as kings, despite
the dismal outlook. The attor
ney in question succeeded and
many Christmas days have passed
with turkeys on his table, but he
says that perhaps the happiest of
them all was the one on which
he and his young wife ate the
peanuts. After all, 'tis "think

The man-o'-war which "Joe"
has just completed is about three
feet over all and has two double
turrets, and carries, all told,
eighteen guns and looks for the

During the week the craft has

needless to say that it attracted
great attention.' :
