Its mission is to devise, support and enforce measures and legislation and schemes of admin istration designed to advance the welfare of our whole citizenship, and it cannot do these things by knocking out from whole struc tures the very cornerstone, of United States senators. The Ore gonian opposes Governor Chamber lain because he is a democrat and supports Wthycombe because he is a republican. That is sufficient reason good reason. It thinks Mr. Withy combe will make a sat isfactory executive and it knows he will not, because he cannot, ap point democrats to vital political offices." Oregonian. O. V.

Mr. Porter contemplates putting a cement walk in front of his property in this city which is occupied by (J. A., uerhard and Grant Elgin,, but owing to a cement amine oceasioned by the San rancisco disasters he will be bliged to wait a short time. Canvass for Funds. The canvass for funds icr the college Y. M. C. A. ; building, which was stopped temporarily about two months ago on account of the " illness of the secretary, Mr. Shepard, has been resumed under the direction of the build ing committee and with the co operation of the state committee of the Y. M. C. A. The base ment and swimming pool have already been put in on a lot ad- joing the campus. It is hoped to erect the building this summer so as to have it ready for use at the opening of the fall term. "Of the $15,000 ; necessary for the erection of the building $12, 700 has been subscribed, leaving $2,300 yet to be secured. The building committee does not wish to resume ; building . oper ations until all the money : is pledged. It is expected to raise $700 of the amount needed from the citizens of Corvallis and Ben ton county. $1,300 has already been subscribed by" Corvallis people, but a large number have not yet been seen. The recent San Francisco disaster has made it difficult to secure subscriptions from Por land and other places in the state outside of Corvallis though Portland people have contributed nearly $3,000. The erection of the building will mean much to tae moral and social life of the student body. It has already widely ad vertised the institui ion ? and the people of the state are expecting to see it erected. This will be the seond building of this char acter on the Pacific coast, the other being at the University of California at Berkeley. The college Y. M. C. A. has beena mostefficient organization, but has been greatly handicapped on account of a lack of adequate quarters. The new building will aid very materially in. carrying on an enlarged and more ag gressive work. Hot Time Tonight. Tuesday, Roy and Elmer Raber pent the day fishing on the place ot the latter, some five or six miles belcw this city. They fished in what is commonly known as Dead . 11 1 1 . 1 TTT - river, tne old channel 01 ine vvu- amette. As a result of the day's port tb.ev hooked 16 fine black aee. The largest weighed four pounds. The fish are reported to be very gamey. Black bass were brought from the East at.d placed in the Willamette many years ago and it seems that they multiplied rapidly. J. S. Booth came out from Newport, Wednesday, after an ab sence of three months. He was en gaged during the time he was over by the rolling deep at the task of fitting up some of his property pre paratory to the summer rush for this famous resort. He expects to return tomorrow as he has about a month's work to do before he is through with the repairs under taken. Mr. Booth says that during the entire winter there have been many people in the City by the Sea for the benefit of their health and far the further reascn that it is a nice place to be. The selection of Dr. James Witbycombe as the republican nominee for governor at the recent primary election in Oregon is dis tinctly a ' victory for the farmers. While Dr. Withycombe's closest competitor, ex-Governor Geer, i3 a farmer, yet he was not the candi date of the farmers in the sense that Dr. Withycombe was. Mr. Geer became known to the people of Oregon, through his political activities. Dr. Withycombe became known to the people through work directly relating to agriculture. He stood out as a candidate represent ing agriculture to a degree which rarely happens. Oregon Agriculturist. Friendship Lodge No. 14, A. O. U.

Com. a gushing young creature asked a wounded soldier if he was one of the heroes of Santiago, and he replied: "I'm no hero; I'm a regular." It was his business to obey orders and in doing so be took what came to htm 1 as his duty. So it was with the three dynamiters. They had orders to stop the destruction bv fire, and they did it, and having performed the duty demanded of them, thev returned, to Mare Island, . madt their report and c went to their quarters as if nothing had hap: penea. - J Prom our point of, view thev savea a large, part of : the doomed city; from their -standpoint they naa simply performed their d-itv, and whatever of credit there is in the transaction goes to Admiral McCalla. It is ever thus in war. The private soldier, carrying out the orders of his superior, accom plishes wonders, wins :s victories, and we erect monuments to the Generals. The man with the gun does not care." He does his duty, and if promotion ' reaches him, all right. If not, he falls back on the phrase ; a uoted: I'm no hero; I'm a regular."- Rx. . Additional Local.

L. Beard, Director. - Duty and Heroism. It seems that it . was the dyna mite squad from Mare island that stopped the fire at San Francisco. Three experts in explosives were sent over from the naval station by Admiral McCalla, with orders to check the fire at any cost ot life or property. They took with them a ton and a half of gun cot ton, destreyed a million dollars' worth of property and made a waste of ruin over which the fire could not jump, and the confla gration was stayed. The names of these three heroes are not given, although what they did, and the danger they braved, en title them to be so designated. The incident is a reminder of the Spanish-American war when H. Harrisin and family moved Wednesday from Summit to Corval lis. They occupy the Houck pro perty which they recently pur chased near the S. P. depot. Engraved calling cards per 100, $3.00 and up.
