Musical Recital.
The most successful musical
recital of the season occurred in
college chapel last Saturday even
ing. A large and very . attentive
audience was present to greet the
various pupils. It is a fare thing
indeed tor students to present so
difficult a program as was given
on this occasion, many of the
pieces calling for such skill as is
usually found in virtuosi.
The O. A. C. orchestra began
the entertainment by playing in
a highly spirited manner "My
Native Hills," a splendid. over
ture. The students then perform
ed in turn, many playing from
memory long and difficult bravura
selections. Miss Ranney and Miss
Spoat exhibited good technic aud
expression at the piano, while
Mr. Harry Kerker and Master
Max Miller both proved them
selves equal to the technical re
quirements of their numbers. Mr.
Kerker' s high notes and harmo
nics on the violin were fine, while
Master Miller's number brought
forth so much applause that he
responded with a highly effective
bow.
Miss Verna Kerker, a very
promising violinist, played a Gip
sy Dance by Mr. Turney. The
composition speaks for itself.
The performance of it showed
abandon and interpretation not
often found in violinists, whilst
at the same time the execution
was flawless. Miss Agness Love
gave the emotional and severly
classic pianoforte, "Scherzo" by
Brahms, and it is a matter of no
small compliment to the audience
that a number requiring so much
culture can be given in a town of
this size, and received as it was,
so heartily. This recital was oi
more than ordinary interests since
it was the graduating exercises of
the music department, Mr. Frank
A. White being the first to receive
a diploma from the O. A. C.
School of Music. That he de
served it no one in the audience
doubted after hearing him play
the Star Spangled Banner in such
a masterly manner.
The last number on the pro
gram was the very difficult and
brilliant "Valse Caprice" by Ru
binstein, a piece seldom played
on account of the extraordinary
development of the arms, hands
arid fingers that it requires. His
playing of the composition would
rank him as a most excellent
pianist before any critical audi
ence. He responded to a stormy
encore with the Beethoven Ada
gio. Op 13, bringing out the mel
ody with so much feeling and
with such a beautiful singing tone.
Mx. White is a pupil of Mordaunt
A..Goodnough in piano, harmony
and musical history and of Ruthyn
Turney in theory. ' "

Corvallis Wins From Eugene.
- .
In the field meet last Saturday
at Eugene between U. of O. and
O. A. C. there was nothing to it
but Corvallis. For the first time
in many years the local team ap
plied a drubbing to Mr. Hay
ward's lads that will long be re
remembered. Of course, the U.
of O. men were out of form.
Most teams are when they meet
deteat. Of- the thirteen events
O. A. C. captured eleven first
and eight second places while the
little bunch or first handed to
Eugene numbered two, with five
second places to their credit.
Perkins of Eugene, was ex
pected to win the half-mile with
ease, bat Greenhaw of O. A. C.
finished first with Perkins second.
As . expected, Williams and
Smithson had everything their
own way ' in the dashes, and
easily won both first and second
places in the events in which
they were both entered. Wil
liams added new laurels to his
string by running the ioo-yard
dash in io-flat. This is only
the second year of this sprinter
and in every meet he lowers
some of his previous records. It
will be a good long time .before
any college or university in the
state can put out such a runner as
Williams. Smithson, who is
only a freshmen, is already num
bered as one of the best sprinters
in Oregon, and next year some
fine work on the track will be
done by him.
E. R. Thompson, ot Carson
Cit, Nevada, was in Corvallis
Friday. Mr. Thompson is known '
in the state in which he lives as
the man who . exterminated the
alfalfa gopher. These little pests
became so troublesome a fewj
years ago that the United States
took up. the matter and spent a i
large sum employing scientists j
to investigate and provide aj
means of protecting the farmers I
against their ravages. , i
Mr. Thompson, a farmer, was'!
experimenting with one thing
and another when he finally hit
upon phosphoric acid. It worked
so pertectly that where the prep
aration was placed the ground
was literallv coveied with ueal
gophers. Wheat was thorough
soaked aud a very small quantity
mixed therewith. It was neces
sary to do this at night as the
rays of the sun would set it on
fire, also it had to be mixed very
quickly as the affinity ot this
acid for water would also cause
it to bum. .' The mixed wheat
i was scattered about the ground at
night and the next morning the
result was as aforesaid. Mr.
Thompson said that although he
offered men $20 a day to assist
him in his factory he had to do
the work all alone. The farmers
were so afraid to handle the prep
aration that on one occasion a
farmer who was taking some
home biought two wagons fas
tened together about 50 feet apart.
He rode in the front one and
placed the poison in the one be
hind. He also said that a sure
preventive for phosphoric burns
was gold dust.
Mr. Thompson said that the
same scheme applied to this state
would effectually rid it of ground
squirrels.
