Our athletes are again victori
torious, having taken more than
twice as many points as any
other college in the indoor meet
in Portland, held last Saturday
evening. Smithson, of OAC, broke
the indoor record by a tenth of a
second. The following will give
a pretty good idea of the affair:
The second annual state indoor
track meet went to the Oregon
Agricultural College, as did the
last one held a vear ago. Prac
tically all the best Oregon track
and held athletes west in the
Columbia gymnasium yesterday
afternoon, and they suceeded in
breaking two -world's records and
one Pacifie Coast record. Kelly,
of Columbia, by jumping a dis
tance of 22 feet, i XA inches,
broke the indoor track- world's
record ot 21 feet 10 inches.
Smithson of Corvallis, by sprint
ing the 50-yard dash in 5 2-5
seconds, smashed the indoor world
record in that event by the tenth of
a second, and Bert Kerrigan, of
the Multnomah Club, by jump
ing a height of 5 feet 10 inches,
made a new record tor indoor
work on the Pacific Coast, the
old height beiug 5 feet. 9 inches.
The aggregate number of points
won at tne meet gives tne ure-
goi- Agricultural College 41,
Multnomah iq, Pacific XJniversi-
13, Columbia 11, Oregon 5,
Y. M. C. A. 5, Fort Stevens sol
diers 5t Tualatin Academy 5,
and the High School 4. . ,;
The race of the day was the
220-yard dash, in which Kelly,
of Columbia, was pitted against
Smithson and Williams of Cor
vallis. Kellv won, with Smith-
son pressing him hard on the last
stretch. Williams was not in
condition, and Smithson was al
so handicaped by not being used
to the snort - turns, out it was
Kelly's race justly enough with
time of 2X -3-5 seconds, onlv
bettered once on a covered track,
by Corcoran, 01 JNotie uame,
with 23 I-.S- . : ' ,
All the events were interesting
and fought for ' in ; good fields.
The distance runs, which usually
become a walk : over - in a dual
contest, were fast and closely con
tested.5 .The quarter, which was
agreed to be Williams race, went
to a collegemate, Greenhaw, Wil
liams coming second, after be
ing boxed, most of the way.
The pole vault became a drawn
out struggle between Wilcox, of 1
Multnomah, and Swan r , o cor
valhs. tne former winning at 10
feet 3 inches. "
The half went to Pe ers in, 0
Pacific, and the mile to Gates,
both - winning in well congested
races. The hity-yard ' nurdies
brought the Y. M. C.A. five
points, with Livingston as , win
ner. . ." He is . developing into a
second .Coates, and with more
practice will hold a few records
himself.
Hug, the only Oregon man
there, won the shot-put, with 39
feet 6 inches. - - -'
The regular order of track and
field events was relieved by aca
demic races and grammar-grade
and . parochial-school relays.
The events were well run.

MISS WICKLUND SECOND.
O. A. C, Does Well in Prohibi
tion Contest at Mc- .
Minnville..
There was quite a delegation
from Corvallis and Philomath
who accompanied their orators to
McMinnville last Friday,- the
occasion being the state prohibi
tion contest. . When the news
reached Corvallis that Miss
Wicklund, representing OAC,
had been successful in taking
second place in the contest there
was much rejoicing on the part
of her friends in this city.
There appeared a half-tone of
the various orators in Saturday's
Oregonian and perhaps no better
account of the affair can be
found than is given in that paper
of above date, as follows: . .
Chester P. Gates, representing
Dallas College, won the state
prohibition contest here tonight. -
Miss Alice Wicklund, the orator
for the Oregon Agricultural Col-
ege, at Corvallis, took second
honors, and Miss Myrtle Calavan,
speaking for McMinnville Col
lege was given third place. Six
orations were delivered- i
' 'My Nation's Hope' ' was the
subject of Mr. Gates' address,
Young men were the chiet re
liance of the country at present
he said. He followed this theme
throughout the oration.
Miss Wieklund took "Why a
Prohibitionist?" She asserted
that the Prohibition party was
the only one which can solve
the problem facing the Nation.
"The Better Way" was the sub
ject of Miss Calavan. She laid
stress on the benefits of evangeli
zation. "
Big delegations from Dallas,
Philomath, . Newberg, Albany
and Corvallis crowded the Opera
tiouse, wnere tne orations were
delivered. " ,
The other speakers were:
Louis Saunders, "Pacific College;
Mrs. R. : N. Lewis, Philomath
College and A. Carlos Marsters.
Albany College. The subjects
of these speakers were : ' 'The
Problem of. the Hour," "The
Power of the Drink Habit" and
"The Movement of the Age."
Six judges decided the merits
of the speakers. On composition
were Rev; G. W. Barney, oF
Whatcom, Wash. , and I. B.
Rhodes and Rev. T. E. Coulter,
both of Portland. The delivery-
judges were Reno Hutchinson
and Rev. W S. Gilbert, both ot
Portland.", aud Rev. Phelps, cf
Davtou, Or, ' -:
After the orations the State
Prohibition League held a busi
ness meeting and tne touowmg
officers were elected: Piesident,
Miss Marv Sutherland, Oregon
Agricultural College; vice-presi
dent, Edward Wines, Willamette
University; secretary, fL. ' A.
Hunt, Albany College; treasurer,
E. Bales, Pacific College.
- The Oregon Agricultural Col
lege was selected as the place for
holding the contest in iqo6. The
interstate contest will be held in
Portland some time during the
Lewis and Clark Exposition
Lady Agent.
The resignation of Logan Hays
from charge of the Western Union
Telegraph office, and as agent for
Wells Fargo & Co.; this city, has
worked several changes in the
affairs of the city. : ' '''.
Ernest Miller is to have charge
of affairs for the Western Union
Telegraph Co. This is satisfac
tory to our people. J, F. Baker,
route agent for Wells Fargo & Co.,
was in Corvallis,-' Saturday, and
arranged the transfer ot the charge
of affairs here from Mr. Hays to
Miss Eugenia Shelby. Miss Shel
by took charge Saturday after
noon. , , ,
Miss Shelby is the daughter of
Eugene Shelby,, of Portland, who
is agent and assistant supermten
dent for Wells Fargo & Co. at
Portlaad, Her grandfather was
General "Joe? Lane, one of .the
most prominent men ot th state
in the days of his vigorous man
hood. . "..
It is thought that, both- busi
nesses will continue to be carried
on together, in the same office,
as has been the case in the past.
While in this section, - Mr.
Baker arranged to have the C. &
E.r train that leaves this city at
6 a. nO and arrives at about 8
p. m., to and from Albany, carry
express matter. This will prove
quite a convenience in many
ways and will give us far better
service, which is something al
ways appreciated by our people.
It is thought that the new ex
press service will go into effect at
once, if, indeed, it has not al
ready started.
Grandchild Wanted.
John and Elizabeth Senger, of;
this city, have taken legal steps
to secure their granddaughter.
The facts ot the case are set forth
in the Albany Herald, s follows:
Elizabeth and John Senger. of
Corvallis, yesterday afternoon fil
ed a petition for habeas corpus in
the county court, ; asking that
Wilma Ruth Warren, iheir grand
child be produced in courts The
petition alleges that the daughter
of petitioners was married to one
Luther Warren in 1902, that later
the daughter returned to the home
of her parents where the child
was born and where their daugh
ter died, after exacting a promise
of her husband that the child
should remain with the mother's
parents. The petitioners further
allege that their daughter carried
an insurance policy for $iooo
payable to petitioners and that
$700 of the proceeds were given
to the son-in-law in return for the
promise that the child should re
main with them. The allegation
is made that the father of the
child took the little one to the
home of his parents who now
have control of the little girl,
that the father is intemperate and
unfit to bring up a child and they
ask that the little one be returned
to them. The writ was issued.
returnable Wednesday, April 19,
when it is expected the little girl
will be brought into court, W. E.
Yates,- of Corvallis, is attorney
for the petitioners.
Frightful Suffering Relieved.
Suffering frightfully from the virulent
poisons of undigested food, C. G. Gray
son, of t.ula, Mies., took Dr. Kind's New
Lite fills,, "with the result," lie writes,
"that I was carer)." All stomach and
bowel disorders give way to their tonic,
laxative -- properties. 25c at Allen &

Belshazzar's Feast.
The snperb spectacular opera which
has been in preparation for the past two
weeks will be given at the Opera House
on Wednesday and Thursday evenings,
April 26 and 27, by a; cast and chorus
composed of about 75 of the leading
sinneri, who have combined .to make
this the greatest hiufrkal event ever un
dertaken by local singers,
v The grand sacred opera, Belshazzar,
or the "Fall of Babylon," under the di
rection of Maitin . Robinson, of Chica
go, has received universal praise. Air.
Robinson has given this opera iu many
cities in Oregon, Washington, Llano,
and Montana, and the press throughout
tbe Pac.Sc Coast is jnetinted in its
praise of the excellence of his work. If
the public needed any guarantee ot the
uierits of. this production it could' be
found in the enthusiasm with which
Belshazzar was received at Chatanqua
last summer, when it was sung by a
chorus of 140 singerB to the largest audi
ence ever assembled for a musical enter
tainment at Gladstone Park, or in Port
land, where it was given in the Mar
qu'am by 100 of the best singers in Port
land. -
It is difficult to find so many rare
gems of musical excellence anywhere iu
the realm of sacred music as in the opera
Belshazzar. The special parts have beeu
assigned to competent people and will be
rendered in a manner to please all lovers
ot music. ; The concerted parts are being
carefully prepared and the costuming
will be representative of the times.
BIG FIELD FOR MAIL THIEF.
United States Post Office Service
Affords Wide Scope for Craft
of Letter Crooks.
; "Yes, there are some pretty nice
pickings in the mail service if the
:lerks want to take chances," said
ne of the postal inspectors to a
Philadelphia . Kecord reporter.
'Take the case of just one fellow
Dn whom we landed recently. In
sne year we traced ?475 of missing
iioney to him, and there is, no tell
'.pg how much he got away with
that couldn't be accounted for. Of
the ? 475, he swiped as high as $50
in cash from one letter, and as low
is 60 cents. And these were not
registered letters, which shows
the foolishness of sending money
through the mails without taking
proper precautions. In one in
stance a traveling man sent his
wife $4 in a letterl It never
reached her, and her kick brought
3 more. That was swiped, too,
ind the circumstances of two
thefts in one family, one following
:he other so closely, was largely
instrmental in casting suspicion
an the culprit." -.';".'-''"-"
