FOR POWER PURPOSES.
Waters of McKenzie to be Called
Into Use.
I
FnT-Ver efforts are now on ioot
ir Lin county to turn to ac-
crt'f the powerful forces of the
V- Kei zie river. An article
fi m Albany has the following
to f the project.
Pi wfr enough to operate all
the electric cars in the Willam
ette valley and furnish light tor
Engine, Albany and neighbor
ing towns will be in abundance
when the waters, of the swiftly
flowing McKenzie river are uti
liz- d
Steps to harness this enormous
. enerev. now wasted, were taken
yesterdav, when S. W. Curtis
filed notice with the county re
corder of the ' appropriation of
40.OCO miners' inches of the
waters of the McKenzie river
nnder a six-inch pressure to be
taken and utilized by means of
a large canal which will be dug.
The site of the proposed oper
ations is just below the outlet to
Clear Lake and about 77 miles
southeast of Albany in the Cas
. cade forest reserve. Here the
waters of the McKenzie rush
with great force down the steep
sides of the mountains from ' the
lake and pour over two falls not
far down the lake. It 1? the pur
pose of -Mr. Curtis and those
whom he represents to construct
a canal on the right bank of the
river near the outlet of Clear
lake southwest to empty again
into the McKenzie river one
mile above the mouth of the
Smith river and about a half a
mile helow the lower falls.. The
canal will be six miles long. A
dam will be built across the Mc
Kenzie river near the canal, and
thus a reservoir will' be created
of Clear Lake. Just what the
specific purpose ot the projectors
is has not yet been given out,
but it is believed to deal with
the ultimate furnishing of power
for the development of electrical
energy in the Willamette valley.
Passing of Sam Jones.
Among the telegraphic news
in Tuesday's papers appeared
the following item which is of
.interest to everyone, as Sam
Jones is known to great and
small, young and old:
"Sam" Jones, the noted evan
gelist, dropped dead today on a
Choctaw, Okhhoma & Gulf
train near Little Rock. Mr.
Jones' home is at Gartersville,
Ga. The body was found in his
berth in the sleeping car and was
taken off the train at Little
Rock. It is believed Mr. Jones
died about 4 o'clock this morn
ing. Sam Jones, the evangelist, had
been holding revival services, in
the tabernacle in this city for the
past two weeks. He was to have
addressed audiences yesterday,
but it developed early in the day
that he had disappeared. Al
though a vigorous search was
made for him, nothing was
learned as to the whereabouts of
the evangelist until news was re
ceived today of his death on the
train near Little Rock.
It developed that Jones left the
citv hurriedly last evening, hast
ening from his hotel to the station
while a carriage waited to carry
him to the evening: service. No
reason for his sudden departure
was'given, nor did he state his
destination. Jones' meetings
had been held in an unfinished
building. He had spoken to
large audiences, and it is be
lieved that he became suddenly
ill as a result of speaking in the
unfinished hall, and started home
for that reason. ,
Short Courses at OAC
The Oregon Agricultural Col
lege will offer this winter, as
usual, two special courses along
agricultural lines, which will be
designated The Short Course in
Agriculture, and the - Special
Dairy Course. ,
The short course in agricul
ture will cpen on Tuesday, Jan
uary 8, 1907, at nine a, m.. and
continue two weeks, closing on
Friday, January 18. The course
consists of a series of popular
lectures along lines suited to aid
horticulturists, . dairymen, and
others engaged in agricultural
pursuits in developing the great
natural resources of our State.
The lectures are supplemented
by laboratory work under the
auspices of experts, who strive to
make the . course thoroughly
practical by adapting the work
as far as possible to the needs of
each individual.
The special dairv course will
also open on January 8, 1907,
and will continue six weeks,
closing on February 15, 1907.
The purpose of this course is to
familiarize students with the
modern forms of dairy apparatus,
and teach the - underlying princi
ples of the production, care and
manufacture of iiiilk into butter
and cheese. -
Students will meet for work
six days per week. The fore-
noou of each day will be devoted
to practical work in the dairy
rooms. In the afternoon ot each
week, except those devoted to
cheese making, lectures and reci
tations will occupy the time dur
ing two or three hours.
In addition to the . regular
teaching force, the services of an
expert cheese maker, Mr. L. B.
Ziemer, have been secured. Mr.
Ziemer is a graduate of the Wis
consin Dairy School, and for a
time was traveling dairy instruc
tor in that state. For the past
four years he has been actively
engaged in the manufacture of
cheese , in. Tillamook county,
Oregon. -i ; " ; ' "x ' .
Theie w'll be no charge for
tuition, and no educational en
trance requirements, for either of
these courses. Board and room
can be had ia Corvallis at $3.00
to $4.00 per week.
Small Boy Resists Officer.
A very small boy flourishing a
life-sized revolver cut quite a
swath in the vicinity of the O.
R. & N. dock, a few days ago.
The people of that vicinity sent
a summons to Chief Lane and
arriving on the spot the latter
found a ten or twelve year old
boy who had bren cutting such
"shines" with a shooting iron
that residents had become terror
ized. Those who had been
around the place stated that the
youthful marksman had been
shooting recklessly in all direct
ions, firing back over his shoul
der, looking into the barrel of
the weapon and doing other fool
hardy stunts that sent the ner
vously inclined 'almost into ner
vous prostration.
When approached by the chief
of police the lad admitted having
a revolver in his pocket, but
when Chief Line sought to gain
possession of the dangerous fire
arm the youngster fought like a
demon and gave the Corvallis
policeman a lively tussle to de
cide the ownership. ......
After gaining his point, Mr.
Lane marched the little rebel
home, giving him a "fatherly"
lecture en route, and turned boy
and gun over to the rightful
guardians. It seems that the
boy's name is Hall, that he re
sides with his grandmother and
had sneaked the revolver out ot
the house for a plaything. It is
little short of a miracle that some
one, or the boy himself, was not
riddled with bullets from the
gun while it was so recklessly
brandished by the youth.

RENO HUTCHINSON.
His Tragic Death in Spokane
The Story.
- Reno Hutchinson, the.' well-
known athlete' who acted as um
pire in Corvallis . hast year at the
OAC-Willamette University foot
ball game, and aijain at the
OAC-Multnomah game in Port
land, is dead.' . His tragic death
has sent a thrill of horror over1
the whole state, where his name
is a very familiar , one. . Some'
thing of the story is told by the
.Portland papers -ot luesday as
follows: , ;;
Reno Hutchinson, the newly
appointed general secretary of
the Young Men's Christian: As
sociation, was murdered at the
northeast corner - of Seventh
avenue and Howard street at
7:35 o'clock tonight. Mr.
Hutchinson was shot through
the body, tumbled into the yard
of Postmaster Miliard T. Hart
son and expired absut 15 minutes
after he had received the wound.
The assassin fled across the Hart-
4son lawn and made his escape by
running eastward ' through the
back yard ot the late-. James A..
Sloane, escaping on .Stevens
street. ' .
The first supposition was that
Mr. Hutchinson had been mur
dered by a thug, but -later, this
idea gave place to the theory, of
assassination byv an enemy and
the story goes on:
- That Reno Hutchinson was
murdered last , night by some
secret enemy who sought re
venge, is now the theory that the
local police are working ,, upon.
The' officers flout the story of
hold up and attempted robbery.
. The murder is supposed to
have been , committed by a man
walking side by side with Hutch-,
inson, when the fatal shot was
fired. A man boarded a car on
the same corner with Mr. Hutch
inson last evening. The latter
was sitting inside and the former
on the outside of the seat. The
stranger wore a dark suit and
lhatfand his description tallies
with that given by the people in
the neighborhood who saw a
man hurrying from the spot after
the shooting,' instead of toward
the point of excitement. The
burned clothing points to . the
theory that the man as walking
with his victim. ; There is no
clue as yet to the identity of the
murderer, suspicion resting on no
particular person. t
The sbnnd of the pistol was
heard by." the people liviug in the
vicinity, some hearing the foot
steps of the murderer as he rush
ed across the lawn. The murder
was committed in the fashioaable.
hill district iu the neighborhood
of the Turner, Sweeny, .Clark
and Cofbin mansions. ,
Has Cref field Arisen?
A religious frenzy has been
aroused this week in Salem, and
according to the Capital Jour
nal's account there is promise of
developments as sensational as
those which made the Holy Rol
lers notorious in Benton, county
and later throughout the United
States.
The leader is Rev. M. L.
Ryan who claims to bej endued
with power from on high for the
curing of diseases, casting out
evil spirits and ' performing other
miracles. He also claims to re
ceive power at times to speak in
unknown tongues and in differ
ent languages and dialects.
Seven workers from Los Ange
les are to come to assist in the
meetings and. these workers are
designated "Tongues of Fire."
In a meeting Sunday night
Rev. Ryan asked those to come
to the alter who desired . to re
ceive the psntacostal fire and
nine aged and infirm men ' and
women gathered and began pray
ing each in his or her own way.
The Journal says at this juncture
the situation was .thrilling and
intensely theatrical. More than
man u was solemn, wierd and
dramatic. There was an ;un
canny feeling- in the room. One
felt like spooks were cpming
Over and over again, the preach
er said, "These' signs shill come
to them that believe," anq sud
denly ; he began saying things
that really sounded like oriental
dialect. It certainly seems im
possible for anyone, however,
adept he may be to imitate
language in this way. He kept
this up for fave minutes and then
began t& preach and pray in Eng
lish. ; - ; .
After the service he told a re
porter that the language he spoke
was a dialect spoken in Northern
Africa. He said sometimes he is
given the power to speak in Hin-
aoo ana in otner dialects in . use
in India. He claims that he
understands some of it and that
some of it he does not, - but as he
continues to grow in grace and
the power ot the spirit he will by
and by understand it all.
For a while the small audience
was worked up to a white heat of
enthusiasm. Everybody in the
room except two were on their
knees. It can easilv be seen
that the enthusiasm will know
no bounds when the seven work
ers come from the south with
many more unknown tongues.

nual football raily will be held
