f Vol. XLH. Corvallis, Benton County, Ohegon Fwday, March T, 1905. DO YOUR PART. Benton County Must Make Splen did Showing at Lewis and Clark Fair. Do not flatter ; yourself if you desire a certain thing, well done ' that some other person is the one to do it Go at it and do it your self Get any such idea . out ; of your head at onceT particularly so as regards . Benton .county's ex hibit at the ' Lewis and Clark Fair. Beyond a shadow .of a doubt there will never again in the history of : any Oregonian now living be another such op portunity presented to advertise the products and resources of this great state to the people of other states as this exposition will at- ford. . ; . . - . Whether Benton shall be proud of her exhibit after all is over de- rends largely on the action of her citizens now. and until the close of the Fair. . Let all who , think it possible for them to do anything or produce anything worthy a place in the ' exhibit, 'make calculations at once and . begin preparations as soon as ad visable. It makes no difference be you man or woman, do , your best - Each county of the' state has been allotted 600 . square feet in . ; the Agricultural Palace a space 20x30 feet. The more enter - prising counties will likely make .,a demand for more than this . si lowance of space and it Is likely that they will receive it. Our county court has taken up the matter and naturally desire to see a successful and flattering exhibit sent from Benton, Henry L. French has charge of our county exhibit, and it is only plain truth to sav, in view, of his past efforts in this line of work, that Benton has no man more fit for the task. - - V,-'; :'-'" - Mr French is extremely anxi ous that all who are tillers of the soil,' plant with a view to con tributing something at some time during the Fair. Even the smallest quantity will, be aicept able, but of -course a fair amount of anything will ' make a better showing. One by one or alto gether, it makes no difference, everybody having anything to exhibit should communicate their intentions and - prospects to Mr. ' French so that he may, if advis able, make a demand for an addi tional amount of space for dis playing said exhibit ; Mr. French states that he will gladlv accept anything, no mat ter what, if it's good, in the way of agricultural and horticultural products. He wants all sorts of grains and grasses, vegetables, samples of wood both h ard and soft fruits in every state. Those having Iruits of any kind, or berries, had better take the same to Mr. French, as he is especially prepared to care for it. He under stands the process of placing it in jaTS so that it will keep for an indefinite time without boiling it, and so it retains an ; appearance of naturalness and freshness. - He desires people to bring him things right now and tor arrange, to send at any and all times during the Fair such articles or products as :-. they maybe able to procure. If any person cannot bring their exhibit to Mr. French they have but to drop him a card and he will go and get it, no matter ""now remote from town said article or product may be. He will 'call within a day -or two ; whenever notified. Many of our stockmen .will -;-. soon,,if they are not already, be shearing goats and sheep and it is urgently requested that they prepare and notify .Mi, -French of, samples of mohair and . wool Now is the time to keep think- r ing 01 mis maner, Samples of stone will be very acceptable. Some time ago Mr. Ryecraft, of Alsea, found a very : fine specimen of coal in the Alsea . country and Mr.. French , was State Fair at Salem, last fall. The same chunk of coal will be seen at the Exposition. Any thing along this lime is desirable. There is a demand for rare birds that may be found within the confines of our county. Should anybody secure birds not known to be very common notify Mr. French without delay. 1 Now, in conclusion, do not al low your , interest in this matter to Jag, ; let all classes do their part fcr 1 all will be benefitted. This is Oregon's greatest oppor tunity for advertising. Advertis ing conducted with brains and energy will bring a great reward. SOMETHING DOING. Our Ideas of What " Occurred in and About Corvallis During -the Past j Week. Miss Christal Miner. The death of Miss Christal Minef occurred at 4:30 a. m. Sat urday, at the' home in this city of her father, G. P. Miner. The funeral services were, held in the TJnited Evangelical church at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon and the services were conducted bv Rev. Winters. The remains were interred in Crystal Lake ceme tery and were followed to their last resting place by a large circle of "relatives and friends. , ; v j1 The voung lady was about 24 years of age at the time of her death.' In 1902 she graduated from OAC and was considered a bright student.at that institution. Something more than a year ago she became a victim to consump tion and little by .1 little her life ebbed from her. It seems hard to face death at any time but doubly so when one is so young and life and , the future promises so much. The relatives have the sympathy of all .' ' Miss Miner was born in the state of Kansas, and, came to Oregon with her parents -in 1891. -In 1898 the family moved to this city, where they have resided ever since. Lenten Season at Hand. Tomorrow, March 8th, marks the advent of the Lenten season. A large proportion of the Chris tian world will observe itand all the faithful not legitimately dis pensed are obliged in conscience to conform . to the laws of the church concerning ; the '.Lenten fast Those excused from " fast ing on account of hard labor, age,' or some other good reason, may eat flesh meat more than once on the days on which it is allowed. V ; ;Lent" ' 'lengthen the days are getting longer; the springtime. According to the Roman Catholic church, , a fast; formerly of varying duration, but now of forty days and pre paration of the Easter festival The former severity ; of the Len ten fast of '. this . church is now greatiy modified, both as to fine and law.' ' ' " ' :X ,:7 In the Greek "church Lent lasts for seven weeks, but there are only thirty-five days of fasting. as on all Saturdays except Holy Saturday and all Sundays v the law of fasting is not in force. During the middle of the past century the ' question of fasting during the Lenten season fell in to desuetude in the English church, but of recent years there has been some effort to restore ancient practice and make the laws governing fasting, more strict. The weather of late basTbeen ideal from almost every point of view. Still there are those among us who have seen better (?) weath er here at this season of the year. ; Others are .' to be found who hold pessimistic views and pre dict all sorts of violent weather to follow on the heels of this pleasant spell. So full are their minds of evil weather conditions yet to be forced upon "usrtEat they could not eniov the sunshine 'of . the past. .;-V'- True, . it may 'be raining like fury when this paper comes froui press, but that does not detract from " what has been. . The -.following is list of recent happen ings" on account of the good weather and what will transpire if it continues on good behavior: - , - ,: , "People are making garden, night and day almost. Some are setting' out all kinds of seeds for table use; others are very indus triously planting and transplant ing flower- seeds, shrubs, etc. a few are setting hens. ; v v - . . C : ; . - '- ; i'.:- .'- Last Friday the air passed the "balmy-' point and when on the south side of a brick our mind reverted to "dog days',' and ice cream. Speaking of ice - cream, reminds us that on this occasion we trod upon the first ice cream ad of the season while meander ing along Main-street on this day. It ; was artistically executed and we felt in our pockets and pass- sadly on. Bees , and birds are busy the one making honey and the other singing songs. ; When bees are on the ramoage there always seems to be plenty of them about, ' but the ruling price of honey con vinces a person that the" country can accommodate more bees honey makers, not dronesl ; This 4s r.a splendid country- tor birds and it "is a wonder there are not more feathered songsters here. Nightingales and mocking birds are strangers to us-as yet. But the sunny days of the past week made such birds as we can boast sing their sweetest songs.: pool mohair. This crop is geiaer ally'harvested along about now. Perhaps there are many things that we have failed to observe and it is barely possible that others wiU not see those things which have been mentioned from our point of view. If not, ; it is not to be helped, and if anybody chooses to apologize, the. same will be accepted in the spirit in which it is tendered. l ? COLLfliE JOTTIMGS. Items of Interest In and Around the O. A. C. ... Corvallis Wins Out, After something more than two years OAC has succeeded in de feating Dallas in a game of bas ket ball. The contest occurred in the Armory lastFriday even ing and attracted Ja large crowd of. basket ball enthusiasts. The final score was 25 to lo in favor of OAC. V.- i-'-A, '. The game was fast and furious and some of our people can scarce ly tell yet how ' we managed to defeat Dallas as we did. ,. Dallas has a good team there is no deny ing this fact. At the end of the nrst nan UAU nad secured a points and Dallas 3. In the be ginning of the' second half Dal las made 6 points almost before one could wink and some of our people were badly frightened in consequence thereof. ; But OAC took a brace and let into it with a vengeance and the result was that during the, second half she added 16 more points to her score, mak ing her total 25. . -Although Dal las played a rattling good game. she was able to add but 7 to her score of the first half, making her total 10. .V ' ' v; About 75 people came up from Dallas on the Monmouth motor and arrived here shortly before 6 o'clock dn the evening:. Natur ally, they were ardent support ers of their home team, but they accepted defeat gracefully and there was no wrangling nor hard feelings over the result. The motor left Corvallis , for Dallas shortly after 10 o'clock. ..-: Incredible Brutality, It would have been incredible brutality ifChas. F..
