The eighth annual track and field meet of the Inter-Collegiate Athletic Association of Oregon, held at . the state fair grounds Saturday afternoon resulted in a decisive victory for the Univer sity of Oregon. Out of a total of 153 points the Eugene athletes won 84, OAC 56, Willamette University 10, and Pacific Uni' versity 3. Smithson, of Corvallis, sprint er and hurdler, clipped a fifth of a second from the Northwest rec ord for high hurdles, and Louns berry, of Willamette, raised the state college record for the high jump. Captain Hug, of Oregon, made a new state record for the hammer throw. Dan Kelly was the star per former of the meet, winning a total of 18 points in the sprints and jumps. George Prideaux, an Oregon freshman, gave Green haw, the swift Corvallis man, the race of his life in the 440-yard dash, and Lowell, another fresh man from the state university, gave Davolt, the Corvallis miler, a merry chase. Smithson, of OAC, surprised the crowd by defeating Moores of U. of 0. in the high hurdles, but Moores , turned the tables on the Corvallis lad in the 220-yard hur dles and the 220-yard dash. Re cent rains caused a slow track, but the time in some of the events was creditable. They are "Rustlers." Things are doing up at Belle fountain, where plans are on foot to celebrate the Fourth of July in splendid style. Just what the nature of the celebration will be is not yet determined, ' but it is certain to be a day of pleasure for everyone who goes out to that place. . . The Bellefountain camp ground has recently been bought back by the Bellefountain Park Association, composed of the cit izens of that neighborhood. The grounds were sold about two years ago and the raouey used in the purchase ot Simpson's chapel. There were many who regretted the sale, however, and efforts were put forth to. secure the grounds and keep them 'open ror all sorts of public gatherings. The place has been cleaned up recently, and as rapidly as funds are obtained a large stage will be erected, permanent candy-stands put up, seats provided and every thing painted and put in first class condition. An attraction of the grounds is a natural spring of pure cold water, and the location of the park is said to be the most beauti ful in this section ot the state. The camp ground contains eight acres, and is a portion of the Oren Belknap place. Only $64 is left to be paid by the Park Association in re-buying the ground and more than this sum will probably be realiz ed on the Fourth. Many Corvallis people are already planning to celebrate at that place, and posters are out drawing attention to the propos ed event. Big Show Coming. The great Burch & Reiss show, which closed a successful engage ment in Portland last Saturday night, will exhibit in Corvallis Saturday, June 16, giving shows at 2 and 8 p. m. This show trav els by its own special train, and is said to be one of the best of the kind in America. There are over 350 performing auimals in the aggregation. , It ia said that the people camping -oat ia Golden Gate Park, San Francisco fairly clamored for the daily newspapers.

Feature of Commencement Week at the College. The O. A. C armory has a seating. capacity of nearly 1,200, but it was filled to the very doors Sunday with the throng that gathered to listen to the annual baccalaureate sermon. Pretty . . a gowns, fluttering ribbons and frills, "sweet girl graduates" and sweet girls who were not grad uates, dignified seniors and smil ing "freshies" all mingled in the scene and made it one of unusual interest and beauty. The armory was prorusely decorated with bunting, flags and flowers. and on the rostrum was seated a large number of singers, the chorus singing being a spial feature of the occasion. The sermon was delivered by Rt. Rev. Frederic W. Keator, D. D., bishop of Olympia. His thought was that education with out religion would prove unsatis factory and incomplete to the student; that religion was natural to the normal man, and that it was not merely a profes sion, but a full and loving ser vice to God, gratefully rendered in acknowledgement of all that God has done for man. The speaker wished to impress upon his hearers that religion deals with the present every-day life, and that it is a reality, here and now, not merely a means of getting into heaven at some re mote future time, as it some times seems to be considered. Bishop Keator is an impressive and earnest speaker, and held the attention of his audience well. The services began at 10:45 ani concluded at 12:15. There were no services at any of the city churches, all joining in the bac calaureate exercises. ; The seniors, in a body, occu pied a postiion in the center sec tion of seats, at the front, and were an interesting and interested g"np. of Benton County Election June 4, 1906 !

TO OUR AGENTS AND THE PUBLIC: The greatest conflagration that the world has seen has fallen up on San Francisco, but it has not shaken the stability of - the great Liverpool & London. & Globe Insurance Company,:, which stands tqual to the occasion With its reserve fund more"; than suffi cient to meet ?11 "of its obligations uudcr the appalling disaster. :. ; With its.uuat promptness the company is adjusting its losses -ud paying, them' without any disc mnt whatever. '. Our net loss will probably be about $4,000, 000. , ' " Our United States statement on December 31, 1905, was as follows, viz: Assets -T $12,234.948 26 Liabilities - j - 7,972,668.49 Surplus - 5,262,279.77 These assets form a part of the total assets of the company, which exceed . fifty millions of dollars. Our home office announces that, so far from making any as sessment on its stockholders, it will be able to meet the San Francisco losses without even ex hausting its reserve, or diminish ing its assets in the hands of the American Trustees for the pro tection of policy holders in the United States exclusively. ' But should our loss at San Francisco have been so large as to have en tirely exhausted our home office reserves and capital, there would still remain for .the security of policy holders the unlimited lia bility of the share-holders, under the English law by which the company elected to be incorporat ed, and which is sure and easy of enforcement. The company desires its policy holders to know that in accept ing its promise to pay, the en gagement will be faithfully ful filled. In all the large conflagrations, Chicago, i$7i,- Boston," 1872, Baltimore, 1904, San Francisco, 1906, we have made our policy holders secure and safe. Having performed our duty to the American . people for fifty eight years, we believe that we will be favored with the confi dence and with the business which we; deserve, and we are suie that every one of our agents will be especially - active to ac complish this result and thus show their appreciation of the financial standing and high character of our great company.
