To the seekers for health and recreation who have not yet de cided where the summer vacation shall be spent, the dainty little booklet "Yaquina Bay" comes as an inspiration and an effective answer. If you have not seen it. send for one. The R. R. Co. sends them gratis. See how quaintly it tells its story. 'There is wisdom in recrea tion. An outing should have a place in the yearly program of every man and woman. True test is not loafing; it is not idle ness. It is escape from routine, from the monotony of work, from the treadmill of business or the rounds of tasks on the farm or in the home; it is a new direction of our energies the refreshment of change; a closer touch with nature. There's an aborigine in every one of us a primitive man. Civilization has only polished, not changed, the fibre, and when spring comes we sigh for the woods or the seaside, the camp by the mountain stream, or tl e tent on the beach. Fresh air, the tonic of the sea, large space more sky than bends over any town, and the life untrammelled by conventional formi this is hunger as natural as the appetite of the growing boy. And change means rest r-refreshment. It re news our energies; it fills up the organic spring, out of which we have been drawing too rapidly; it recreates us, so that we go back to our work with fresh vior. It is a good investment; it pays. More work will be done and done better. 4 'All work and no play," that old proverb packed the wisdom of centuries in a sentence. The best prescriptions are not written by physicians. They come from nature's sanatorium, and are free. They do not cost any thing, and are easy to take. Try ours? Stop and rest.

A project is on foot to extend the Dallas-Falls City railroad from Dallas to Salem a distance of 14 miles Salem has already accept ed the proposition made by Mr. J. W. Coovert, the engineer of the Dallas-Falls City R. R. Co., and will donate a terminal 500 by 800 feet, secure a right of way through the city, and grant a loan ot ,$72,000 at 5 per cent, interest half to be paid when the road is half done, , remainder when the road is completed, se cured by a first mortgage on the road, Thestimated cost of the road is $ 167,034, . $90,000 ot which Mr. Covert promises to put into the road himself, before any one else is asked to contribute. Work will -probably commence in July. The matter was taken up by the . Commercial Club of the city, some time ago, when committees were appointed to in vestigate and report upon the proposition. In its report th$ committee deemed it not only a feasible project but that the re sources of the Falls City country were such that a road would be highly profitable. Wheu it came to a vote on the proposition pre sented by Mr. Coovert there was but one dissenting vote,- ; An Evening of Song and Story. Thi Seniors on the Stage Class i Day No Flag, No Program. Buy your 4th of July outfit and furnishings of Nolan & Oallhanm The people of Corvallis have a local as well as state pride in the O. A. C. . and Commencement week is ever anticipated with pleasure. One of the events that is always looked forward to is the entertainment given by the de partment ot elocution and music which occurred Tuesday evening in the College; Chapel. The vo cal music ui der the -direction ot Florence McDowell tireen was well rendeed and showed effi cient training. "r The Ladies' choir gave two numbers with -pleasing effect. A pantomime "The Ho sung by Mi Edna Allen,, was veiy much enjoyed. Miss Allen has only been before the' public this ear, but her voice is one of creat sweetness and she bids fair to become one of our favor ite singers, while the pantomime was beautifully rendered by Miss St German. Her work showed careful training as did all the pantomimers. The vocal num bers bv Miss Lilly and Mr. Kil- pack were well received. Mrs. Pernot sang with fine effect, "The Erl King" by Schubert. Mrs. Green deserves praise for her year's work, and she had rea son to feel proud of her pupils on this occasion. The numbers under the direc tion of Miss Crawford were' quite up to the standard if they did not excel her former entertainments. Her work is thorough and pains taking and is always greeted by a large and appreciative audience. The recitations by Miss Wicklund and Miss Tartar were well ren dered, while the honors were even ly divided between Mr. Selleck, and Miss St German who both did exceptionally well. This is Mr. Sellecks first year at the O. A. C. He has marked ability and we shall expect to hear from him in the future. Perhaps the most finished work of the evening was the recita tion by Miss St. Germain VThe Wooing of Berenice" which was given with fine effect. , Miss St. Germain has marked talent in elo cution and her work oa this oc casion reflected credit on her in structor! Taken as a whole the entertainment was a decided suc cess. The Chapel was filled to overflowing while many stood in the halls during the entire program.

SENIOR PLAY. .Tbe play given by the seniors last Tuesday night in the Opera House was a great success. The house was crowded and all were well pleased with the entire play. T, he success of the play was due in a -large part to Mr. Paul, who was secured by the class to direct the rehearsals for the production. Guy Moore, in the difficult part of if Aires" did himself credit and possesses excellent ability in that line,,--The others of cast ; did goodwork and proved a surprise to their ' friends when it came to handling a play like "The Rivals." . . , ADDRESS TO CLASS. Hon. G. H. Durham in his ad dress, to the class Wednesday morning, spoke ot the war be tween Russia and Japan. He said :. that it was a strained situa tion between England and Rus sia and later involving Japan. He said that the time for the war had come and although states men tried to put it off the causes had been at work so long that a climax, could not be averted. He spoke of the size and popula tion' of Russia, her length being 1 0,000 miles and her population 100,000.000. He said that one reason of the great power ot Rus sia is that Peter the Great recog nized the fact which the history of the world has always demon strated that commerce is a more potent factor in the enlightenment ot a people than all other human agencies combined. He then went on to say how the working out of this idea . by Peter the Great and his successors . had re sulted in the present Russian government. - He - said that the object of this, eastern conquest by jeatn an-v Outlet ..to their, great empire. He closed bv saving that since Asia has been entered by people bent on conquest she must undergo a great change. But that her final destiny will be determined by Him to whom a thousand years is as a day and yet He notes the sparrow's fall. . , CLASS DAY. Tuesday afternoon at 1 o'clock the seniors gathered at the col lege to raise their flag. The juniors were tneir first ana naa their flag up. The seniors were not ; expecting this but promptly made their way to the- top of the college building in spite of much opposition, captured the junior flag, and tearing in it shreds hoisted their owns, amid cheers from below. The juniors, when they saw that their own flag was torn down were equal to the occasion and raised a pole with their flag on it out on the campus. The president told the seniors to take down their flag and raise the Stars and Stripes. This was done, but it made the class rather indignant and they refused to have their exercises without their flag. The juniors then gave a mock program around their flag on the campus. - - THE ALTJMXL Wednesday afternoon in the chapel the alumni had their busi ness meeting. They re-elected the same president ; George Den man was elected and F. E. Ed wards, treasurer. t At 8:30 Wednesday evening the Alumnal Association received the class of 1904 into full mem bership.
