will cost nothing, and it is worth
that much at least: The strain upon
the musicians and their auditors can
be greatly relieved if the former will
not blow so strenuously when play

come as a soothing relief. " Try it

Surprised President Gatch.
A pretty incident occurred dur
ing chapel at the college, Wed
nesday morning. After the reg
ular morning exercises, when
President Gatch had made his
announcements preparatory to
sending the students to the vari
ous class rooms, Professor Berch
told stated that he wished
to say a few words to the stu
dents. He called attention to
the draped flags at the back of the
rostrum, and the potted" plants
and floral decorations about the
chapel and said that all present
were curious, no doubt, to know
the occasion of this display. He
explained by saying that -President
Gatch had first seen the
light f day January 28, 1833,
and this recognition of the 69th
anniversary of the president's
birth was meant as a feeble ac
knowledgement of the service he
had performed for education, and
the value of his efforts in be
half of the Agricultural College:
When President Gatch recovered
from his surprise, he responded
happily and the students mani
fest their pleasure and apprecia
tion by hearty applause.

OWNS LOCKE CEMETERY.
This Property, Valtted at Mote than $1200,
Was Deeded to Benton County in 1855. .
Situated five miles north of Corvallis,
on the top of a small hill, and in the
midst of the moat picturesque surround
ings, the Locke, or Mountaia View cem
etery, has long been considered an ideal
place of sepulchre. The earth is some
four" feet deep, underneath which.is a
soft sandstone, easily- excavated, makes
J in leality a stone tomb lor those who are
there laid at rest '.
For a number of years no One seems to
have known just what was the status of
the cemetery as regards it ownership.
Persons using it . for members of their
family hav9 naturally desired to obtain
deeds to the ground they . have used, and
this has resulted in a survey being made
at the request of Mr. A. N. Locke, under
the supervision of Professor Skelton of
the college, who found many difficulties
in the way of making a plat on a uniform
arrangement of streets and lots.
Mr. Locke, having the perpetuity of,
the cemetery in mind, arranged to have
an association formed which could take
title to the property, and give deeds to
those persons whose relatives were in
terred there, and the values were pro
posed to be made in harmony with values
in similar cemeteries, which would pro
duee an amount sufficient to beautify and
adorn the cemetery and make it an at.
tractive place to visit.
Among the proposed improvements
was to be a running fountain and a per
manent supply of water to be brought
from a spring on a neighboring hillside
above the elevation of the cemetery. A
small and elegant chapel in which to
hold church services, and, on occasions,
funerals were included in the plan,
streets paved, a drive-way, shrubbery
and flowers were to be added, and in
general the cemetery made as beautiful,
as the $1,200 or $1,300 represented
in the land now used for graves would
supply.
The association was to be formed under
the law which requires seven members
and three trustees, and that the proceeds
of all donated land go to the permanent
maintenance of the cemetery. Bat before
beginning the work of improvement the
records of the county were examined,
with the result that a deed was found,
which donated this cemetery long years
ago, so that no one can make deeds to the
land. Those who have buried there,
hold by possession. Following is a copy
of the deed:
"This Indenture made and entered

Eats Up Revenue.
When the damage done, by the
high water of this week to the
wagon bridge across the Will
amette at Albany, has been re
paired there will not be -much
left of the revenue derived irom
toll on that structure during the
past year. Last Monday, thirty
feet of the approach from the
Benton county- side was washed
away.
The Albany Herald gives this
account of the matter:
All forenoon people were cross
ing the bridge t watch the whirl
ing waters on the Benton county
side. About 11 o'clock there
was heard the sound of breaking
timbers and shortly afterward
that part of the approach nearest
the bridge proper . fell with a
crash into the swiftly flowing
water. People who were stand
ing on the weakened bent, barely
had time to retreat to firmer foot
ing when the approach gave way.
As it was, three-people. Miss
Laura Hackleman, Elvin Crutch

left on the remaining parfof the

capable company, and are always glad to
greet this little' lady whom they admire
so much for her womanly qualities and
cleverness as an actress.
While the Gazette has criticised Miss
Shirley's interpretation of various roles
in the past, it has not done eo because
of lack of appreciation of her ability,
but for the reason" that it thought her
efforts worthy of serious consideration.
It takes pleasure now in commending
her company to the patronage of Corval

Corvallis Ore
of a circular to agents with the re
quest that the information be
spread as wide as possible, con
tains the, following highly per- '
tinent and useful matter: -
"I would inform you that the ,
greatest need, next to increased
production, is a better finishing
of the stock before sending it to
market. During the early part
of this fall, when fat hogs were
in strong demand -at 6 cents,
about two-thirds of the hogl
shippd failed to meet the re
quirements of the demand as rep
sented by this higher price, and
consequently had to be sold at a
much lower figure. For instance,
one morning there were five car- .
loads of hogs in the yard, with a
market that morning represent
ing a demand from Seattle, Ta
coma and Troutdah which"
would have used this many hogs
for any one of the towns men
tioned, yet but one carload could
be sold at the 6 cents, because
the rest were too poor to kill out
profitably to the packer. These
four remaining carloads were sold
at 54 and 5 cents. A few
days later nearly the same condi
tion was repeated, only in this
instance the thin hogs could not .
be sold , and the shipper was
compelled to reship them to the
vallev for feeding. 1 "
(I have made careful inquiry
of trie many shippers who bring
hogs over , your lines into this
market,' and I am convinced that
it is possible more thoroughly to
finish these hogs, before attempt
ing to sell them. The complaints
of some exclusive wheat farmers
that this grain is too expensive to
feed to hogs is so thoroughly dis
proven by the magnificent 'suc
cess of so many others, who are ,
every year increasing their use of
this food for fattening hogs, that ,
the contentioni of the former
class are unworthy of considera
tion. Their failure can always
be traced to some other source
than the wheat."
