Ruthyn Turney is now at the home of his parents in Los An geles, Califs In a letter to a friend in this city, dated March 28th, he tells of a'severe 'attack of illness he . had shortly after leaving Corvallis. He says: You remember I said I smell -ed a spell of sickness when I left? Well, after getting away from Albany I felt better until about 10 o'clock that evening, when I took a fit of coughing that de-4 veloped a stitch' in my left side and affected the action of my heart. I shall always believe I nearly 'winked' out. The pas sengers and trainmen assisted me to a berth and did everything ia their powtr to render me com fortable but I passed a horrible night, and concluded to proceed direct home. On arriving here I had another hard spell, but not so severe as the one on the train nor of as long duration. Since my arrival have only been out of the house once. 4From what I have seen, I ami very favorably impressed with this city. .You will see more people on the streets of Los An geles, in a day than you will see in, Portland in a week." Preacher a Player. A few years aeo many of the Pacific coast papers were publish ing entertaining accounts of the doings of one Rev. Edward Davis, who attained much prom- - " j i . . 1 ineuce auu notoriety as me enamorado of Fayne Strahan. formerly of Albany, and by giv ing an exhibition of dancing in his pulpit in the Christian church ot uakiand, uai , as an illustra tion of his theory that mere dancing: in itself was not harm- tuU Un that occasion the Rev. Davis donned his claw hammer coat and in the course ot one of his popular Sunday evening lec tures, waltzed a little as. an object lesson to his congregation Some of the members liked the radical .pulpit methods of their postor, while others made strenu ous obiections to them: but all agreed that he looked -handsome in evening dress, borne went so far as to suggest to him that he might be more successful on the stage as a leading man than as the leader of his flock. He seems to" have taken their hint tor late advices Irom the east state that he- has been appearing at tHe star Theatre, in Williams burg, in. a melo-drama - written by himself called "Over Niagara Falls. ' ' He "says he is getti ng along first-rale, - and making money to pay off some of the debts contracted in California, and that his drama is a soul stirrerrihat show how vice is pun ished and virtue rewarded. Oratorical Contest Tonight. The Agricultural College Pro hibition League was organized last February 1jy Mr, Hinshaw, representative of the Prohibition League among the colleges, dur ing his visit nere at that time. The purpose of the organization is to study the liquor problem and to arouse the interest of the student body in this subject An important feature of the work of the organization is an oratori cal contest each year, the - ora tions to treat some phase of the saloon problem. The contest to; select a repre sentative from O C to the state contest, will he held at the col lege tonight. There will be five orations, and the winner will take part in the contest at Dallas the latter part of this month.

The county camp, composed of delegates from the various local camps of the modern Wood men of America in Benton county, met in Corvallis Wednes day to elect a delegate to the state camp which meets at The Dalles, May 6th. . Nine delegates were elected to the county camp,. and seven were in attendance: E. J. Fowells, T. W, Dilley and Q. J. Black ledge, Corvallis; E. H. Bellknap, Bellfountain; C. W. Davis, Philo math ; J. G. Dennis and Robt. Kyle, Monroe. The camp met Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock and elected O. J. BJackledge, chairman, and J. E. Fowells, clerk. Adjournment was taken until 1T10 p. m. At the after noon meeting O. Healy was elected delegate to the state camp, asd E. H.f Bellknap, al ternate". elect a delegate to; the head camp meeting,' which will be held at Indianapolis in June for the pur poses of enacting, legislation and making some adjustments in the rates of assessment? Surprised Senator Daly. A little incident occurred last Monday evening which illustrates the esteem in- which V Senator John Daly is held in this commu nity: It ' was known that he might be called to Portland any day to take charge of the office of surveyor -general ; to which he was recently appointed, and it was felt that his departure should oe fittingly observed. Mr. Daly is not given to cere mony and display and his friend ship is not of the obstrusive or demonstrative sort, and his friends knew that a quiet, uncer emonious manifestation of their regret at his leavetaking, and " - j - some - simple toicen 01 their re gard, would be more highly ap preciated and prized by him than a public function would be. It was arranged with a friend, with whom Mr. Daly was to dine Monday evening, that he should make some . pretextto get Mr. Daly to his office about 8 o'clock. In the meantime friends to the number of 12 or 15 had assem bled at the Occidental, and shortly before the specified hour they went to Senator Daly's office and gained admittance by means of a pass key. When the latter's approach was heard, the light was turned down.- The Un suspecting senator unlooked the door and struck a match as he stepped inside. He. was dumb with surprise, when - he saw his office crowded with uninvited guests. Thenl-someone laughed and the spell was broken. When Mr. Daly had been given time to take in- the situation, Professor Lake," on behalf of those present, presented him with a handsome gold-headed ebony cane. Mr. Daly was deeply affected and it was with difficulty that he con trolled his emotions when he re plied to Professor Lake's' presen tation address. .-. f ; AH present congratulated Mr. Daly on his recent, appointment, and expressed their high personal regard for him ,and' regret that nis new uuues wouia necessitate his absence from this community. Frost Fighting Device. . Orchardists . in this vicinity whose crops have suffered from the eflects of frost in the past, may profit by installing the frost fighting device perfected by Mr. P. D. Bane, who owns a splendid 40-acre orchard near Rc-dding, California. Mr. Baneisabrotbt-r of S. B. Bane of this city. He has given the matter of frost fighting devices careful study for years, and - the plant hi has in stalled in his orchard is said to meet all requirements. "What caused frostr enquires Mr. Bae. He anBims the question by say ing: "Poorly drained fcif, and if by means we could prevent streaks, pools or basins of stagnant cold am we could prevnnt frost to a great extent. "Not being able to combat with for mation or location, we are forced to battle bv means of artificial devices, or submit to nature though it often comes high. "The vapor of Water condensed to water and congealed to ice, is not of it self injurious. In fact, the action of tbe water throughout retards a too rapid chance in temperature, and as frost is simply an index of temperature change, a friend rather than, an injury to plant life. It cannot be emphasized too clearly that it is the low temperature and not the solidification of the water which does tbe damage : If there be but little vapor in the air there will only be a light frost appear and yet the temperature niav be bo low as to cause injury. A heavy frost when the top of the ground is dry is usually killing. ; 'It has has long .since been proven that the coolest air is nearest the ground, while a few feet above makes a differ ence of several degrees. After years of experimenting it is now a conceded fact that in order to ward off tbe damages caused by frost, you have to warm up the lower stratum of air in order to raise the temperature. ' . ' "With organized preparation along these lines already demonstrated to be valuable, frost can be successfully com- batted by warming up the lower stratum of air and diminishing radiation." "This has been accomplished by using a large number of fires in pots with crude oil as fuel. The oil makes a very hot fire and is inexpensive when . compared with- its efficiency. By using a lid di rectly over the pots and a few inches above, the heat is kept down and forced to warm up the air by convection, keep ing up a steady heat for hours. It is now. generally believed that as much injury results from the sudden warming up of the chilled plant as from the chilling it self. It is now fully concluded by mo3t practicrl frost fighters that there is no method superior to the one I have recently installed." As the most critical time dur ing a freeze is at sunrise, it is best to arrange the lighting so that the pots of oi will.be burn ing: at least one hour alter sun- e. . Mr. Bane has placed his pots much thicker around the outside of the orchard, as the wind or even the cool air has a double hold on these trees. About forty pots are placed to the acre and one gallon of oil put 1 into each pot. A lid with three ksupports, is placed directly over the pots leaving a space ot about four inches between tbe top of the pot and the lid. This ar rangement of the lid has a ten dency to hold the heat downward and cause the heat and smoke to spread over more territory and stop xany direct drait which would have a tendency to carry both heat and smoke upward. One gallon of oil will burn four hours or more. The number of pots to fire on a cola nignt aepenas upon cir cumstances. When the location is arr average one and the ther mometer only drops a few degrees below the danger mark, probably 20 pots per acre will be sufficient. Should there be more heat than necessarv, it can be checked by turninsr the lids uoside down. This will extinguish the flames. Republican ; Primaries.
