Dennis Stovall, a former Corvallis

is coming to be recognized as au

mines and mining in Oregon. He
has been asked by the department
of metallurgy of the University of
Oregon to prepare a write:up of
Southern Oregon's mines for a bul
letin that will be issued by the Uni
versity in October. The article
will include a description of all the
principal Southern Oregon districts
and leading mines, and as these
'bulletins will be liberally distribu
ted to mining men eyerywhere th
article in question" will no doubt be
of value to the growing mining in
dustry of this section.

The ethics of his profession do

Blackledge says that 'region' is the
paradise of the hunter and the fish

abound with gam ey fish, and game
of all kinds is to be found in the
surrounding forests. The sight

He has had a number of com
panions until about a week ago,
when they left for other signal
stations. Mr. Wright is employ
ed by the. government to compile
a table of heights of mountain,
elevations and distances, and
with other engineers he is work
ing to periect trie new signal
code. During his stay on the
peak he has been in communica
tion bv signal with Eugene, Sa

He expects to complete his work
on the peak this week, and will
move to some other mountain in
the Coast range.

If the person who wrote me

that "there is no Royal Road"

Dairying vs. Wheat Growing.
A barbecue and picnic was held
at Stay ton last Saturday in dedi
cation of the new chetse factory
just completed there. Dr. Withy
ooinbe was the principal speaker
of the occasion, and he devoted
his remarks to the subject of
dairying. "The former sys
tem of shipping ; grain," said
he, "is selling the fertility of the
soil, while dairying builds up the
soil and it gets better all the time.
One ton of wheat, worth $25,
takes 7.50 worth of plant food,
while one ton of butter, worth
$500, takes less than 50 cents
worth of fertility."
. Referring to two-years' experi
ence in soiling at the O A C, Dr.
Withycombe said :
One acre of crimson clover,
2 acres of alfalfa and 2 acres
of Canada field peas and oats,
furnished the rough feed for 17
head of cattle mostly dairy
cows and 25 head of hogs from
May 13 to July 31, and at the
present time there are at least
three tons of green alfalfa, the
third crop, ready for cutting.
As near as can be arrived at,
the cost of soiling, as compared
with pasturing, for a herd of ten
cows, the additional cost would
be approximately 30 cents for
the herd, or three cents per day
for a cow. With a larger herd
this expense would be reduced.
This includes labor but not ma
chinery. Figuring on a basis of 30
pounds ofinilk a day per cow
4 per cent milk would yield
27,000 pounds of milk; and but
ter fat at 24 cents per pound,
would amount to $259. 20 for the
two and one-half months. This
is in addition to the whey return-!
ed, which is worth about i2
cents , per hundred pound, used
for feeding swine, which would
be an additional $25.
This land is not above the
J. R. Parker, field manager o
Philomath College, has a plan
whereby it is proposed to have
all the smaller colleges of the
state afSiate with the University
ot Oregon.
A summary of the plan is this
Mr. Parker argues that the
smaller colleges, such as the Al
bany, Willamette, Philomath,
Pacific University and Pacific
College, other academies and
such fcmallor institutions, have a
hard time to live and make their
results equal their aspira'tions,
"In view of this fact" says Mr.
jrarKer, "wouia ic not De wiser
to put these schools on a basis of
being feeders to the State Uni
versity , at Eugene? These
shools cannot do the work they
attempt; their degrees granted do
not carry the weight they por
tend ; they cannot subsist on the
present support; constant defici
encies are occurriug; and many
things make it apparent that it
would be for the best interests of
every one ot these smaller insti
tutions to make themselves of
high school grade, teach the
lower branches and prepare their
5tnHfntu f-vr t Vie TTn
It is said that Mr. Parker's
scheme has the endorsement ot a
number of prominent educators
of the state. But the trustees
and managers af-these schools
will hardly take kindly to the
idea of acting as incubators for
the University. They are sec
tarian institutions, and their
sup- orters have , purposes aside
from the educational features.
Rev. Parker's idea is all right,
but it doesn't seem practicaole.

The new fountain for the court of
the Hotel Corvallis arrived from
New York, yesterday, and will be
placed in position immediately.
Corvallisites who have not visited
this handsome building since the
work of repairing and refitting has
been completed on the' first and
second floors, have no conception
of the beauty of the interior of this
new hostelry. Ihe bedrooms have
all been finished in delicate tints,
and the iurniture matches the
walls. The parlors are elaborate,
and the court with its- fountain
playing beneath the Jaige skylight
makes the place most attractive.
Workmen are now hurrying the
completion of the third story, and
when this is done the hotel will be
open to the public. Mrs. Hamil
hopes to open the building about
the first of September.

Prizes were not awarded, as exhib

considered in grading: The num
ber of clusters on a spike; the size
of the cluster; evidence of culture,

is very hardy, there is no reason
why Corvallis should not be a
veritable garden of them during

Afternoon Reception.
Mrs. J. C. Taylors reception
on Wednesday afternoon was one
of the most delightful afternoon
affairs of the present social sea
son. Her home- is beautifully
adapted tq entertainment, and
the pretty hall and parlor were
made doubly inviting with their
decorations of carnations and
sweet peas. The fireplace was
draped with sweet peas and trail
ing vines, and in this recess Mrs.
J. O. Wilson presided over a
bowl of punch. Cake and other
light refreshments were served.
The guests arrived at 3 o'clock,
and the afternoon was spent in

Rivers. This baby was fortu
nate in having a grandmother,
Mrs. Oglesby, and that grand
mother prizes that baby above
all things else.
When the time arrived for
giving the little fellow a name
Grandma was given this respon
sibility. The family had had
some business dealings with the
firm ot Montgomery-Ward, Chi
cago, and Mrs. Oglesby said the
baby should be named for Mr.
Ward.
A letter was written to that
gentleman, informing him that
kings, presidents and other celeb
rities had been denied an honor
that had been gratuitously con
ferred upon him. When Mr.
Ward recovered from the em
barrassment occasioned by this
unexpected compliment, he has
tened to make his little name
sake a suitable present. In his
letter to Grandma Oglesby, Mr.
Ward said the finest baby car
riage in his establishment had
been expressed to Baby Ham
mersly, in care of her.
The baby's mother lias been
making investigation', and she
has discovered that General
Ward, of military fame, was the
grandfather of Mr. Ward, of
Chicago. It is hoped that the
little Alsean will-grow to man
hood and will add luster to au
illustrious name.
