An Ideal Outing Place.

AT THE COLLEGE.
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.

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. Go and hear
what the waves are saying. Take

and go home to better appetite,
and sweeter sleep than you have
known tor years." " .

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,- ;

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.

K'l f THE. 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.
