People Should Keep Clean Look Pretty. and It is an old, old saying that 'cleanliness is akin to Godli ness," but there is need of a more modern phrase which should affirm that neglect of one's personal appearance is the next thing to a crime. In this dav and age of pro - gress, with its attractive styles which can be duplicated in the cheapest of materials: in a land where soap, water and combs are within reach of all and the bar- . bers' charges are reasonable, there is absolutely no -excuse to be offered for the apparent mon strosities in human 'form that are constantly to be seen at any and air times and in all places. Were these same people denied the privilege of the - bajh and other means of personal neatness , and adornment, what a wail of complaint would they send up! Yet day after day men and wo men go about in slovenly attire, the former with unkempt beard and disheveled hair until in ap pearance they resemble gorillas or apes; the latter with strag gling locks and sagging skirts, , shoes down at the heels, neglect ed finger nails and even with un clean hands, until the beholder loses sight of the fact that this creature is a woman, "lovely woman." Such specimens of humanity are the most disgusting creatures that can be encountered. Man, created in the image of the Mas ter, should have pride enough to be decently clean and ,to pre serve as attractive. an appearance as financial circumstances will permit. And what is true pf the man is doubly true of the woman, who should pride herself in the un usual advantages that nature .has bestowed upon her in the -way of beauty and graces, and she should strive ta maintain such an appearance as would add to rather than detract from this beauty of face and figure. It is a duty one owes the public to be neat aud clean and civil, and the man or woman who does not, for decency sake, observe such rules should keep off the streets and away from their fellows until they ate willing to effect a change in their habits. Will Go to Ashland. At a meeting of the official board ot the Congregational church Thursday night the resig nation of Rev. Edward Forrest Green as pastor was accepted. Rev. Green has accepted a call to the pastorate of the First Con gregational Church at Ashland, and the household goods leave here tomorrow for that place. Along with this resignation comes :that of Mrs. Green as head ot the. vocal depart ment at OAC, a position which she has filled with gratifying suc cess the past three years. Since Rev. Green has been pastor of the local church the membership has been trebled, while the church building has been remodeled and greatly mod ernized, a new heating plant be ing among the improvements. Steps have been taken by the official board to fill the vacancy caused by the removal of Rev. Green, and it is possible that Rev. Burgess, of Oakland, Cali fornia, may be the new pastor. During their three and a half years' residence in this city, Kev. and Mrs. Green have made hosts of friends and their going is wide f ly regretted. The good wishes of the community follow them. There is as yet no one in view to take up the work laid down by Mrs. Green at OAC (Hops and Rain. WMte tittsaia the latter .part of. the .week, caused great uneasi ness ia Corr&Ilis among hop men, there is no damage as yet to the crop unless the storm continues. A few pickers have moved home and will not return to the yards, but they are not the majority. Inregard to conditions at In dependence, the Westside Enter prise of Saturday says: No very great damage has yet been done the hop crop by the rains of the past few days, yet growers are on the anxious seat, dreading the possibility of heavier rains, or a clearing up with warm weather to follow. Some few re port vines down, but to no con siderable extent. All the yards are picking right along, though the conditions are not favorable for pickers and less progress is made than if the weather had re mained clear. - There is no report of pickers leaving in any numbers, except Irom the Krebs yard south of town, and those are Portland peo ple, who become easily discour aged when the conditions are not entirely to their liking. - Most growers . are trying to remain cheerful under rather a gloomy prospect, though you can see they are apparently "whistling to keep up their courage." Honors For Him. W. G. Emery, formerly a Cor- vallis photographer, now of Van couver, returned from attendance at the convention ot the Pacific Northwest Photographers' As sociation at Spokane, Thursday. Mr. Emery had the honor of being elected president of the as sociation for the . coming year, was presented with a silver lov ing cups . and had one of his pic tures selected for the souvenir award besides securing one of the awards of merit. ' The photograph that was chosen by. the judges was the "summer girl" pose of Miss Claire Holgate of Corvallis. It was a -Sepia Carbon on a lemon tinted :cover paper. Many ;at the "convention - preferred the vio lin study of Miss Marion Chap pell, of this city, but the summer girl caught the fancy of the jud ges. In criticizing the picture one of the judges said of the sum mer girl: "This is .not a perfect portrait by any means but it is a picture, graceful and aitistic in its composition and pase and shows harmony in every detaij." .The judges for the souvenir award were? A. I. Jackson of Tacoma; A. L. Hicks of Colum bus, Ohio, and Robert S. Let of Jamestown, New York. Mr. Emery has long been re cognized as an artist of pronounc ed ability, and his success will be no surprise to- vhis friends in this city.' He has filled the posi tion of secretary-treasurer of the Photographers' Association the past year. RealvEstate Transfers. W A Wells & wf to M F Mc Lagan, Bl 30 Jobs Add. Corvallis $1,000.

The examination 'of Esther Mitchell and Mrs. Creffieid is not yet completed. A ""dispatch from Seattle Saturday says: Examinations behind closed doors were" the features of the session of the commission ap pointed to examine into the san. ity'ot Maud . Creffieid and Esther Mitchell today. j' O. V. Hurt and his son Frank were questioned in regard to the practices indulged in by' the Holy Rollers and the commis sion learned many details ; that the witnesses, heretofore had re fused to divulge. .According to the witnesses the exercises were far more vile than would be gathered even from the reports that have gone out. ' It developed in the" testimony of O. V. Hurt that there had been insanity in his family. He also stated that it was one of the beliefs of the Holy Rollers that Creffieid would be killed and that his life must be reveaged by one of the members ot the sect John E. Miller, Deputy Prose cuting Attorney of King county, was placed on the stand. His statements concerned conversa tions he had had with the . pris oners from the time of the killing of Creffieid up to and after the shooting of George Mitchell. He declared his disbelief in the immoral procedures alleged to have been indulged ; in by , the followers of Creffieid, but - said that if such practices were ' car ried on they were certainly un usual and . irrational. - Chief of Police Wappenstein, of Seattle, verified the written statements made by the two wo-, men after their arrest. Mrs. O. V. Hurt, of Corvallis,' upon hearing the news of the in sanity examination (jollapsed. She will not be brought toSeat Ue unless absolutely necessary. Tonight the physical examina tion of the two women was held, but no statements were made by the members of the Commission as to their findings. Maud Creffieid, who is t ;be tried separately' fiom 1 --Esther Mitchell, charged jointly vwith the killing of George Mitchell,; is to b? on trial October 22 before JucUe Frater, providing the medical commission now.making the examination of the woman does nut find her insane. Coun ty Attorney Macintosh - is deter mined upon prosecution even in that event, but ithis'- question would have to be fought out on legal grounds. , , The sanity commission in secret session this afternoon had Sheriff L. C. Smith betore it. The sheriff was only asked two qaestions about the- women s conduct. He declared that they acted cooly on their trip up t the court house from the city jail and that summarizes the re suit of the doctors' inquiry. Monday the commission' ex pects to conclude its labors, but its final report may not be made until some time later, as it is in tended to go entirely through the evidence that, has been pre sented before making the decis ion on the mental condition of. the women. At the conclusion of the session this evening, the members of the Commission made a visit to the prisoners in their cells at the county jail. This was for the purpose of ex amining into the manner ia which they cared for themselves in their temporary home. They found everything as clean as could be expected. The women welcomed them and for a long time conversed on different topics. An attempt was made to draw them out.

McElfresh at the Wallace fruit orchard near Salem, of which he was superin tendent, has aroused no end of surprise and regret among the Mazamas, by whom he" was held in high esteem, says the Salem' Journal. Professor McElfresh it was who performed a' spectacular feat in saving the life of a young woman who fainted in a buzzard near the summit of Mount Hood, in July, 190 1, while the Mazamas were scaling the big peak. With a fine display of courage he offer ed himself as a human sled, and with the unconscious young wo man, Miss Bethel Rawson, of DeMoss, Ore., lashed to him, he was lowered by ropes down the. steep sides of. the peak , by .other brave Mazamas; It was the. only I effective way of getting ; the 1m Denied . voune woman .down , on the peak and to safety. Profess or McElfresh not;orily devised .the means, but volunteered himself for the arduous feat. The Mazamas'" party was near the ; top ot ; the - peak, when Miss Ra wson fainted from exhaustion and exposure to a. blizzard. All other means of getting .her. off the mountain, after efforts to restore her had failed,; proved .unavailing and Professor McEltresh's mgen uity and fine coorage solved a! difficult problem and made him a popular hero.. He declined to take any credit on himself, how- ever, ana witn a moaesiy mat was seconded only by his courage dismissed his conduct as'not un usual. At the Fair. Thursday was Poitland Day at the State Fair arid the result was very gratifying to the manage ment, for in spite ot the bad, weather, three heavily loaded trains of people from that city ar rived. The Poitland people at tending the fair Thursday reach ed a total ot 1.800, and Assist. Supt. G. C. Morris of the South ern Pacific, who personally look ed aiter the excursion trains, stated that had the weather, been good the crowd would have num bered 6, 000. The county exhibits were judged and -awards made. In this department were seven ex hibits and Linn county was given fourth with Marion county first, Lane county second, Jackson third.
