Frederick Warde.
The idea that Corvallis is not
big enough, nor able to make it
worth while for the best attrac
tions in the United States to ap
pear here, prevails to a consider
able extent, and has doubtless
often prevented high-class enter
tainments being given here. In
fact, this idea is shared by many
Corvallisites themselves. How
ever, when any one has shown
the temerity to bring a high
class, expensive entertainment
Corvallis people have shown their
appreciation in a substantial way.
Rice's "Evangeline" and Kean's
"Hamlet" were the most liberally
patronized attractions that have
ever visited Corvallis.
It was a matter upon which
our people congratulated them
selves that they had seen these
plays at home and while some
very excellent plays have been
giver at the opera house during
recent times, yet nothing of so
high an order has since been pre
sented. To make it possible for
an actor of National reputation
to visit Corvallis, some one local
y must assume more than an or
dinary amount of labor and ex
pense. Because it is not an easy
matter to do this, iV not infre
quently happens that men of ex
ceptional talent and wide repu-
ation as actors pass Corvallis by.
Last week Mr. Fox, the repre-
senative of Mr. Frederick Warde,
visited Corvallis to arrange, if
possible, for his appearance here.
The matter of the possibility of
his coming, was brought to the
attention of Mr. B. W. Johnson
and Mr. E. E. Wilson, and these
gentlemen appreciating Mr.
Warde's national reputation as
an artist, have undertaken the
direction of his Corvallis engage
ment which occurs on April 13th.
The press and critics unite in
acknowledging Mr. Warde to be
tha greatest actor of Shakespear
ian roles and the most profound
student of Shakespeare's plays,
in America. During his long
career as an actor ne has stood
or. the highest , and . best in his
profession and whether on or
off the stage, has always heen
known as a cultured and refined
gentleman. His personal repu
tation and popularity draws the
people to hear him wherever he
goes, and Corvallis people will
certainly not prove exceptions.
While the Gazette does not
wish to appear over enthusiastic
in the matter, it fee's that it is
of such importance that it may
be pardoned for urging
Corvallis to make Mr. Warde's
engagement here a brilliant suc
cess.

A Story With a Moral.
Not long ago an institution of
a semi-public nature in a little
Kansas town incurred consider
able debt in erecting a. building.
To pay for it the directors
said institution were ; compelled
to -call upon the merchants ot
the community for assistance.
The merchants responded liber
ally and several hundred dollars
were raised from this source.,
The last man asked to subscribe
was John Tones, a jeweler.
A4I will give you $5 if you will
let me add something. to the sub
scnption." he said. The per
mission being granted, he wrote
at the foot of the list: ,
John Jones, Jeweler, $5.00.
Sears, Roebuck &Co. $.00
Montgomery Ward & Co. $.00.
The people saw the point and
the matter was given out and
publicily aired and since the dedi -cation
of that building no mail
orders have been seat out from
that little Kansas town.
Can our people sav the same?

Don't Fail to See it.
Affairs Looking Up.
Commissioner Frank Thomp
son, of Lincoln county, says that
the people of that county are
predicting splendid times there
for the next few years, if not
eternally. They have every
confidence in tha propped rail
road from Portland to Yaquina
bay via tha coast.
So certain do some of them feel
that a construction crew will be
at work on the building of this
road before the passing of the
summer season that some of
them are figuring ou planting
large potato crops this year in
order that they may feed the
dagoes.
Air. Thompson believes there
is a good future for an apple
raiser in Lincoln county and
predicts that many young
orchards will be set out this
season. . He says that apples do
exceedingly well in that country
and are entirely free from worms.
There are more boats visiting
Yaquina bay at present than for
some years past and the indica
tions are that much business will
be transacted by coasting vessels
during the coming year.
WILLIS C. HAWLEY
FOR CONGRESS
I
There is no better nor more able man
to be up for election this year than Mr.
Hawley. He will serve to the best of his
ability the people of the state and the
country, and deserves the support of the
people who desire to see any man repre
sent us in Congress who will be a power
ful factor in just legislation, to whom
graft will make no appeal, to whom we
can look for an upright and fearless pro
tection of our laws and rights, a man who
is no mere flowery, meaningless speaker,
but a powerful, hard-working leader,
prominent in committees and in open
debate. Cottage Grove Leader.
