Melville C.'. Lewis, a brother
of A..E. Lewis of this city, .ar
rived in Corvallis on the 1 130
train from Albany, Tuesdav. He
came direct here from Oelweiri,
Iowa, for the purpose of visiting
his brother. - : ' -
Melville C. Lewis was aged 55
years and had been in ill health
for some ti me and it had - been
hoped that the trip to the coast
would prove beneficial for him.
He had many "old friends among
the Iowa people who have settled
in this city and called to see a
number of them on the after
noon of his arrival.
In the evening several friends
called at the home of A. E-
Lewis and. visited with the recent
arrival. It was noticed that
Melville Lewis was not in a very
cheerful frarne of mind; his "mel
ancholy was -mistaken for the
weariness that would naturally
be ascribed to so long a trip, es
pecially for a" man in ill hea'th.
He retired that evening without
giving any evidence 01 contem
plated suicide.

into the kitchen to build a fire
While thus engaged his brother

Building one of the most famous
pictures in the world. This is
none other than the largest" and
best known of Rembrandt's works,
the celebrated "Night watch."
This painting is 15x30 ' feet in
size, was painted ia 1642, and
has remained in the city of Am
sterdam for 260 years. The pic
ture represents the march out of
Frans Baumng Cocq's company
ot musketeers, through the high
arenway ot tneir L,ule, crossing
tae street in iront or it, and go
ing up a bridge." To the lover
of the beautiful in art, the picture
needs no further mention.
The visitor who takes a hur
ried look through the buildings
is apt to miss some of the best
things. One exhibit that should
not be missed is the Curtis col
lection of Indian Photos. This
is located at the south end, east
side, of the Forestry building, on
the second and third gallery
floors. These photos are without
doubt the finest, not onlx in the
ExDOsition, but on the Pacific
Coast. They represent some of
the most remarkable scenery of
Arizona, New Mexico and the
Southwest Country, in addition
to scenery and natives of Alaska,
Apache, Sioux, TJte and.Moki
Indians, in characteristic attitude-;
Indian villages, cliff dwell
ings, feast day revels, dances,
ceremonies and processions. On
the whole there is not a finer ex
hibit on the grounds aud : it is
one that should not be missed.
