shop at the college one day last

when the sleeve of his jumper got
caught in the machinery. " He
braced himself to prevent being

the machinery before any serious
injury was inflicted.

from free throws. O AC made 10

TJijwrmms
county postponed action in the
matter of the Albany steel bridge
until the vMarch term, in order "to
see how the feeling of the people is
on the subject' A member of the
court says, if a petition" is presented
to that body at the nxt meeting,
signed by five per cent of the legal
voters of Linn county, asking that
the question of that county taking
the bridge be submitted to the vot
er?, that the bridge would not be
accepted until the people could vote
on it at the next general election.
The sentiment seems strongly in
favor of the county taking the
bridge, which it will do in all prob
ability at the March term of court.
SlltCllD AN ORATOR.
Guy Moore vas Chose u to Represent
- O X C in the State Contest.
the
The Armory was crowed with
townspeople and student sup
porters of the eight participants
in Friday evening's oratorical
contest. Enthusiasm J was iam
pant, and each orator was en
couraged by the applause ol his
adherents. Besides the literary
program, there were vocal solos
by Mrs. Pernor, Miss Cronise
and Mr. Herse, aud a piano
duet by Misses Davenport and
Stewart.
The markings of the judges
show a wide difference of opinion
regarding the merits of the indi
vidual performers, and proves
the contention that winning a
contest depends mostly upon who
the judges may be. For in
stance, one judge -gave a paper
first place on composition, while
another, judge rated the same pa
per eighth. One judge on deliv
ery accorded a contestant first
place on delivery, another judge
thought the effort entitled to
fourth place, while a third placed
it in fifth position.
As a result of the contest Guy
Moore, who took for the subject I
of his oration "Oliver Cromwell,"
wilL- represent the Agricultural
College in the state contest to be
held at Bugene, March 13th. He
was also awarded a gold medal
and a cash prize of $15. John
Withycombe, who also chose
"Oliver Cromwell" for his sub
ject, took second place, a gold
medal and ' $9 in cash." Miss
Elsie Canfield won third placet,
a gold medal and $6 in cash. Her
subject was "Stephen A. Doug
la?." Miss Effie Michael's paper on
"The Unsolved Problem" stood
highest in com position, and Miss
Juanita Rosendorf was given first
place in delivery.

Amount of Appropriations.
May TQSitZQ Operations.
Creditors are. pressing heavily
upon H. C. Mahon, who has the
contract for sunplying the piling
for United' States Senator Clark's
Utah railroad. : Mr. Mahou es
tablished a caino at Blodgett on
theC& Esome months ago, and
business has been lively in that
neighborhood until the present
bad weather stopped operations.
Revenue ceased - with the non
shipment of piling and creditors
grew uneasy. The Albany Hard
ware Companyattached Mahon.'. s
store at' Blodgett for $ 123; Hus
ton & Bogue, of this city, have
filed an attachment for $264, and
other creditors have claims, it is
is said, aggregating $8,000. This
indebtedness h.as accumulated be
cause of the unavoidabe idleness
at the camp on account of bad
weather.
Mr. Mahon's pres nt contract
calls for three cents per foot for
piling delivered in Utah. He
has shipped 89 double carloads
and has several more ready for
shipment. It is said that he has
another contract awaiting his ac
ceptance, under the provisions of
which he is to receive 54 cents
per foot for piling on board the
cars at Blodgett. There seems to
be a disposition among the cred
itors to appoint a receiver and
permit Mr. Mahon to complete
his contracts. It is hoped that
some such arrangement can be
made, for thecamp at Blodgett
has distributed considerable mon
ey in that neighborhood.
The Albany Herald says that
the report that a special train
was run from that city last Thurs
day evening t take creditors to
Mahon's camp i3 a mistake. The
tain was a Corvallis & Eastern
work train, sent in the interests
of the railroad company, and "did
not carry any of Mahon's credi
tors or any other passengers.
The Ways and Means commit
tee 01 the legislature has com
pleted its report upon the amount
to be appropriated at this session
and will file the same in the
shape of three separate bills. "The
total amount pf the appropiia-
tions, as recommended by the
committee, aggregates $1,384, 245
of which 1,249,897 is included
in the general appropriation bill;
$62, 963. 30 in the special ordaims
bill, and $71,385.73 in the de
hciescy bill, whicu latter was
filed in and passed by the House
last week.
The amounts carried in other
bills, passed and pending, which
are not included in these bills,
will bring the total amount up to
nearly $1,500,000.
The report provides for an ap
propriation of $15,000 for the
payment of the deficiency in
curred in the maintenance of the
State Agricultural College during
the years 1901' and 1902, for
which past appropriation was in
sufficient; for finishing and fur
nishing the new buildings, and
for the general repairs, improve
ments, etc., at the State Agri
cultural College, at Corvallis.

At the last regular meeting of the
Independence Improvement League
an article was read from the Corval
lis Gazette regarding the improve
ment of the West Side train service.
It was ordered that the tecretary
confer with all the towns along the
proposed line of improvement in
train service, through letter to the
representative bodies there. - A
committee was appointed to circu
late a petition to be presented to
the Southern Pacific system, asking
for the proposed improvement.
Inspector Clement has recom
mended the establishment of the
two proposed rural free delivery
routes heretofore descrird" in the
Gazette, with these alterations in
the routes as originally planned:
The route leading east from this
city to Frank Francisco's, and in
tended to cover the territory west
to P. A. Kline's, will be as petitioned
for, except that it will only extend
to tho Woodcock place, the three
miles of road leading from that
point to Kline's being in very bad
condition. The other route will
eliminate the territory from Fern,
to Inavale. The inspector may
recoramend extending tfce the route
frotr, Fern to the Beaver Creek
school house. Individual boxes for
receiving can be put up at this
point, and a general box for hold
lng mail ior forwarding can be es
tablished. This would improve tho
present service." It is hoped that
carrier will ; begin . operations . on
these new-routes about May 1st.
