The storm clouds that have
hovered over Corvallis for the
past week, parted Wednesday
morning, and the sun with tem
pered rays enticed hundreds of
our citizens to attend the Com
mencement exercises at the Col
lege armory. Many visitors from
abroad swelled the throng and
when the doors were closed at 10
o'clock scarcely a seat in gallery
or auditorium was vacant. The
fair sex were greatly in the ma
jority and they ,were supremely
happy, for the bright morning
had given them opportunity to
indulge their dearest weakness
display ot dress. The sterner
members of the audience found
pleasure in the excellent pro
gram, so the graduates from their
places on the platform looked
down upon a sea of pleased and
smilirg faces.
Those who have made it a cus
tom to attend these exercises year
after year, find plenty of rvi-
aence 01 tne erowtn 01 rms
splendid institution. It seems
but recently that the little Col
lege chapel was sufficiently large
to accommodate those who ap
peared upon the program, and
those who were attracted to hear
and see. Now the Armory,, with
capacity many times as great, is
taxed to the limit. Today, the
chapel will scarcely accommodate
the student body, and interest in
the College has grown with its
attendance.
Promptly at 10 o'clock the
class entered the west entrance
to the Armory and marched the to
stage, preceded by members of
the board of regents, the faculty
and ministers of the city. The
class was arranged on the left of
the platform, the faculty and
board in the center, and the choir
on the right.
The program was shorter than
in former years, but quite as en
joyable. No orchestral numbers
appeared; instead, two selections
by the quartette, Messrs. B. W.
Johnson, Pritchard, Herse and
Fulton, were delightfully render
ed. After the invocation by
Rev. Joseph Emery the quartette
opened the exercises with -the
song, "The Ruined Chapel," the
audience showing its apprecia
tion by" hearty applause.
Miss Mabel Abbe, salutatorian,
in her oration, "A Plea for the
National Supervision of Pris
ons," took to task the present
method of managing and con
ducting the places where are con
fined those individuals who
choose to forfeit the privileges of
freedom. She argued for more
cpinfortable and cheerful sur
roundings, and kinder treatment
for the inmates of our prisons,
and appealed for greater leniency
on the part of the courts. When
these reforms are brought about,
the speaker believes that those
who enter our prisons as crimin
als, will exit at the expiration of
their, term, good, law-abiding
citizens. These views are trib
utes to Miss Abbe's innocence
and gentleness, but they disclose
a lack of understanding of the
criminal character. As well ar
gue that kindness and pleasant
surroundings would transform
the . inmates of a madhouse iHto

The closing of Bert Van Cleve's

week was not without the ele

Gait, California, can be believed.
He writes. The troupe arrived here
from the south on the morning train
in a special car of its own elaborate

appropriately named "Buster."
The company got. stranded here
and members of the troupe quar
reled for their back pay. During
the performance the manager was
compelled to call upon the local
constable to preserve order in the
hall and eject some of the striking
showmen who were tantalizing their
brother actors on the stage. In the
meantime some Gait - wag had em
bellished the name of the troupe's
private car, by substituting a "d"
for the final letter in "Buster." ,

Under present condi
tions prisoners are accorded hu
mane treatment, and that is all
they deserve. Prisons have
state supervision, and it is diffir
cult to understand how national
supervision could better condi
tions. Miss Edna Irvine contributed
to the merit of the exercises by
reading Longfellow's "The Le
gend Beautiful." This was the
first opportunity her friends have
had to hear Miss Irvine since her
course in oratory and elocution,
and they marked decided im
provement in conception and
delivery.

But Mr. Johnson is looking

the sunshine of our prosperity is
clouded by conditions that threat
en the future. The chattel slave
of anti bellum days had greater
reason to be happy and contented
than has the wage slave of to

Governor Chamberlain re

educational svstem and found in
the agricultural college of today
the ideal school. Students leave
these institutions with minds
evenly developed, having com
pleted a course of studies where
in tne classics and sciences were
happily blended. This school
ing must be regarded as prepara
tion ; the race is yet to be run.
He who ceases to study when he
bids farewell to his alma mater,
has wasted his time within her
walls. Unless the graduate puts
his training to some good use,
he is a debtor to the state for the
privileges she has given him.
There is abundant room in the
world for the class ot 1903, and
plenty of work for it to do.
Governor Chamberlain spoke of
the problems that had grown out
of our war with Spain. He
stepped aside to discuss the causes
of that war and t6 inf press on
his listeners the inevitableness of i
its cowsequences. We could not
avoid retaining the. territory that
had providentially fallen into our
possession, nor would it " have
been advisable to part with it if
we could. No-country can grow
and progress if it pursues a policy
of isolation. Contact with other
peoples and other customs are
necessary to advancement. Out
of the war havev grown prob
lems that are awaiting solution,
and the rising generation will be
called upon to solve them. The
race problem, the differences be
tween capital and labor and
many other vital questions are
yet to be properly disposed of,
and upon their correct solution
depends the perpetuity of this
nation. "I for one." said the

A Popular Department.
The popularity of the recitals
given by the School of Music of
the Agricultural College, was at
tested by the large audience that
assembled to hear the last recital
of the year by the pupils of the
department in the Armory last
Monday evening.
The nature of the program
and the efficiency of the pupils
who appeared were splendid tes
timonials to the character and
thoroughness of the work lhat is
being done under the direction
of Mr. Goodnough. The . pro
gram was long, and there was
not a light number performed,
yet the audience gave excellent
attention and .never , appeared
restless. Little Misses Gertrude
Nolan and Frankie Hout were as
generously applauded for their
efforts as were the more advanc
ed pupils, and they deserve credit
for the excellent rendition of two
exacting numbers.
Mr. Alpha Murray acquitted
himself admirably in performing
Chopin's Polonaise, Op. 40, No.
1, which makes such demands on
the technique. He played with
accuracy and precision and show
ed no hesitancy even in the most
trying passages.
Mr. White's number, "Lur-
line," by Seeling, was probably
the most popular selection of the
evening, although his rendition
of the Beethoven Sonata, Op. 13,
was almost faultless. His com
mand of crescendo and pianissi
mo passages is delightful.
"To the Spring," Grieg, was
played with excellent eftect by
Miss Lillian Rannev. Her sec
ond number, March in d flat; by
Hollaender was one of the most
meritorious performances of the
recital.
A Beethoven sonata by Miss
Gretta Harrington elicited much
applause, and , the audience was
oud in its appreciation of her ren
dition of Weber's "Les Adieux."
Miss Juliet Cooper played with
credit -Mendelssohn's "Song
Without Words." and the ."Scarf
Dance" by Chaminade. -
j Mr.Otto Herse, tenor, assisted
in the. exercises, and his solos
were well received. He was in
excellent voice, and responded to
hearty encores after each of his
numbers.

Creamery for Alsea.
Alsea is one 01 tne most en
ticing spots in Benton county,
and the people of that section
are wide awake and progressive,
The one barrier to their perfect
contentment has been the diffi
culty of communication with the
outside world during . the winter
months, on account of the great
mountain ranee which stands
between them and the Willam
ette valley. They have remov
ed this obstacle, however, by
outtiner in a telephone line be
tween the store and the mills
of the Benton County Lum
ber Co. , which will be in
operation the first of July. This
will be of great convenience to
residents of Alsea.
In keeping-with this enter
prise, is the effort being put forth
to develop the resources of the
little valley. A number of pro
gressive citizens met last Monday
evening to discuss the proposition
of establishing a creamery, with
the result that temporary organi
zation was effected and a meeting
will be . held June 22nd, to or-
ganize permanently, a. com
pany will be formed with W.
H. Malone, Jasper Hayden and
J. E. Banton, as incorpora
tors, the purpose of ,which
will be to purchase the cheese
plant located one mile below the
store, and now owned by J. H.
Dorsey, and to establish a cream
ery plant and operate tne two.
Alsea is an ideal stock and dairy
country and an enterprise of the
nature contemplated should yield
a splendid revenue.
