KELLER MADE GOOD.
His Blind-Fold Drive and Hypnotic Feats
Pleaae All Beholders.
Not one of the large crowd
that assembled on Main street
last Wednesday afternoon to see
Keller make his blind-fold drive,
will say that the feat was not
genuine. The crowd selected
its own committee to accompany
the hypnotist on his perilous
journeyi and all were given every
opportunity to satisfy themselves
that the performance was on the
square.
A carriage and big team of
grays was drawn up in iront of
the Occidental at o'clock and
Keller announced to his expec
tant audience that he would
drive blind-fold over the route
previously covered oy the com
mittee and unknown to him;
would find the key, take it to
the postoffice, open the box, take
therefrom a letter and deliver it
to the party to whom it was ad
dressed. All of these thiiigs
would be done while lhe was se
curely blindfolded;and knowledge
of these matters was possessed
only by the committee.
Of course there were skeptics,
but when Messrs. Welsher, Wat
ters, Wells and Bryson, all promi
nent citizens, consented to act as
the committee, confidence began
to take the place of incredulity.'
The committee held a secret con
ference at the conclusion of
which a letter was addressed and
placed in a box at the postoffice.
Then, while Keller waited at the
hotel, they drove about the city
andsecretlyjhidakey. Upon their
return Keller, blindfolded and
standing in the carriage, began
his drive. Although he had no
contact with the members of the
committee he successfully cover
ed the route previously1 driven
over, the horses m:a gallop. He
entered Simpsoh's hardware store
and found the key hidden under
a book on the counter, reentered
the carriage, drove to the post
office, took a letter from box 212,
and,, holding on to the hands of
Messrs. Bryson and Watters,
took them on the . dead run to
Allen & Woodward's drugstore,
which address the envelope bore.
The skeptic was convinced tht
Keller could do what he pro
fessed. At the Opera House in the
evening the audience was treated
to a refined entertainment of sur
prising feats in hypnotism and
mental telepathy. Those who
consented to act as subjects for
the hypnotist were above all sus
picion of being in collusion with
that gentleman, but if strangers
had any doubts of the genuine
ness of the performance these
must have them removed by the
realism of the subjects' actions
and facial expressions.
If merriment and laughter to
the very limit of enjoyment have
value that can be measured by
coin of ths realm, all who at
tended Keller's entertainments
got their money's worth.
Building Committee Met.
The building committee of the
Board of Regents of the College,
Messrs. Weatherford Apperson
and Daly, met in President
Gatch' s office in the administra
tion building, Wednesday after
noon. The committee visited the new
horticultural hall and determined
what furniture was necessary in
the way of chairs, tables and
other items, and these will be
supplied immediately.
Architect Burgraff was asked
to prepare plans, tor an addition
to the present heating plant to
serve as a power nouse. lne
addition will be the same size as
the building now occupied by the
heating plant and will be placed
on tho east side of ;the present
building. It will contain an
office, bedroom arid dynamo
Toom. Jlhis bmidine will be
ready for occupancy bv the time
school opens, and the present
power house will be converted
into apartments, for the mining
department. Here will be djne
assaying, etc. ,
It is the intention ultimately
to fit the present chemical build
ing for an administratiou build
ing, containing offices, a meeting
room for the regents: and a num
ber of vaults. ? This 4T will add
class room 10 the College.
A contract has been entered
into with Mr. Weitman, by the
terms of which that gentleman
is to sink a two -inch well near
the heating plant insearch, of
water. Should he succeed in
finding an abundant!" supply of
good water a number ot wells
will be sunk.' In case water is
not found he will receive nothing
for his services. Mr. Weitman
will begin operations next week.
The Committee will meet in
Portland in a few days, at which
time final action will be taken oh
matters considered at Wednes
day's meeting.
Will Begin September 15th.
The Gazette of Julv 31st
informed those interested that
Postmaster Johnson had re
ceived a telegram from'the Rural
Free Delivery Division of the
postoffice department which in
dicated that Corvallis routes
No. 2 and 3 would be es
tablished, notwithstanding the
fact that the department had
ordered these routes abandoned.
Later a letter was received - by
Senator Mitchell stating" that the
department had reconsidered its
action, after reading the vigor
ous letter from Postmaster John
son and clippings from the local
papers, and indicating that the
routes would be established.

ity which set all doubts at rest
and brought joy to that official
and all patrons of the proposed
routes. This letter contained
orders and instructions for the
establishment 4 of these routes

the carriers have not yet been an

HERMANN ON YAQUINA.
The Congressman from the First District
is an Old Friend of the Harbor.
Hon. Binger Hermann was in
Albany, Tuesday, "en route lor
Newport accompanied by his w'f'.
and granddaughter. He will dc
vote some time lo a study of ihr
needs'of Yaquina Bav and rein
force his present fard of informa
tion regarding that harbor wih
additional data.
In an interview with the Her
ald, Mr. Hermann is credited
with saying that he is hopeful of
securing a sufficient appropria
tion to make Yaquina a good
deep-water harbor. .He realizes
that he has very serious obstacles
to face in the accomplishment of
this task. The government en
gineers have reported agaiust
further 7 improvement work at
Yaquina and are apparently an
tagonistic to any more work on
the harbor. In congress the
recommendatiou of the engineers
is almost final, but Mr. Hermann
is very optimistic in regard to
the matter. "Just because we
face serious obstacles is no rea
son why we should give up,"
said he. 44 We must agitate the
matter. Agitation that is the
word. It we cannot secure what
we want we must secure what
we can and keep agitatiag the
matter and arouse the oldtime in
terest in the improvement of the
harbor."
"The trend of the times," con
tmued Mr. Hermann, "is for
larger vessels and consequently
deeper water. Boats are being
constructed larger than formerly.
It costs so much to make a trip
anyway and companies how de
sire vessels of the largest possible
capacity, and ye not so large to
be Jim practicable. These vessels
must have deep water and it is a
moticeable fact that the demand
for river and harbor improve
ments from all over the country
is for deeper water. "
But vessels engaged in the
lumber carrying traffic do not
need as deep water as' others, the
congressman explained. They
are usually built in about the
shape of a flat-bottomed scow
and do not require a very , deep
channel. Since lumber will be
the chief export . from Yaquina
the harbor does ? not . need to be
deepened as much as it ' other-
wise would;
:Tri view of these facts Mr. Her
mann .thinks a. good appropria
tion should be made for the im
provement of Yaquina harbor.
He says it will be hard for him
to secure but he intends to agi
tate the matter continually. He
thinks the entire Oregon delega
tion should go in a body to the
War Department and by explain
ing the situation endeavor to
overrule the adverse report of the
governmental engineers in re
gard to the harbor.
When Yaquina harbor is im
proved and commerce follows as
a natural consequence the ex
tension of the Corvallis & East
ern '.Railroad will follow as a
matter of course. Mr. Hermann
predicts a bright future for Ya
quina Bay and as he is accus
tomed to back his optimism by
energetic work it may be de
pended upon that earnest efforts
will be made to secure an ap
propriation for the improvement
of Yaquina harbor at the next
session of congress.
