Caiiahan's Sidewalk.
It is not- of tan that a little
Tip of new sidewalk sets an
etniratown agog with gossip,
but such has been the case in
Corvallis since Tuesday morning.
sometime ago the city council
passed an ordinance establishing
the b3undarie3 of a 'concrete
sidewalk district," which ordi
nance made it unlawful to build
any but concrete walks within
said district, or to even repair
board walks. Down in front of
the new skating rink there was
au old walk hardly in keeping
with the appearance of the new
rink, observing which Peter
Callahan, who owns the lots on
which the rink stands, bagan
Monday to have built a new
board walk along the north side
of the lots. Mr. Callahan was
immediately notified by Chief
Line to suspend operations as it
was a violation of the concrete
walk ordinance, and Mr. Calla
han called in his men and appar
ently decided to abide by the
law. Between that time and
eight o'clock next morning, how
ever, the sidewalk was all laid
and is still in place. When and
by whom the work was done no
one knows, but it was built, law
or no law.
Just what the outcome of the
case will be is uncertain, but it
seems likely that the matter will
now rest until the next meeting
of the council. The final act in
the play will be awaited with
more than passing interest in
Corvallis, as on its adjustment
hangs the .question of whether
or not Corvallis makes laws to be
enforced or only for the sake of
appearances.
Quotes the Senator.
While Senator A. J. Johnson
will not admit it in so many
words, he will endeavor to have
his slaughtered good roads bill
passed over the veto of Governor
Chamberlain when the legisla ture
convenes in 1909.
"It's a long way ahead," re
marked the senator, who is in
Portland on business, "and re
member there are 60 members
in the house, even though the
senate should favor refusing to
sustain the veto.
"Since the Governor vetoed
the bill there has been much
; complaint in the Willamette
Valley, at his action. There is a
pressing need for good roads and
this measure would have been of
great benefit in helping the state
have good highways, since it
would have extended state aid,
the state paying one-third the
cost of improvement. Governor
Chamberlain himself said that
this was the best system. He
made the statement in Coralli3
before the meeting of the legis
lature."
"What do you suppose induced
the Govarnor to veto the bill?"
"Politics and a de?ire to make a
grandstand play," replied the
senator. Tuesday's Telegram
"THE K3N3 OF TRAMPS.1
To hs Given at the Opera House
Next Tuesday Night.
Taa King of I;ramp3,' a
Yankee Doodle comedy, in four

more innocent miscnier, an 3

The play is a feast of pulsa

Phenomenon at Hood River.
Something that is considered
most remarkable by fruit grow
ers here, says a dispatch from
Hood River, is the discovery that
-ipples which have been allowed
to lie on the ground all winter
have not been injured by the
icold. weather during the past
months and are practically as
?ood as the day they dropped
from the trees. The apples are
seconds, and, owing to the fact
that they were slightly bruised by
contact with the ground, they
were not considered fit for ship
ment. Triey were left to lie un
til the snow came, which covered
them up and acted as natural
cold storage. In the middle val
ley the snow is just commencing
to disappear and the fruit during
the past few days has become ex
posed to view. Visitors from the
city and also abroad have brought
many of them to town, where
they are being exhibited as curios
ities, dowers account for the
phenomenon by thi fact that
there was no frost ia the ground.
Dowie's Sermon.
The .late Alexander Dowie
wrote his own funeral sermon
about six weeks before his death.
This sermon has just been given
out for publication and the final
paragraps are full of a spirit that
is hardly in Keeoiug with the
command, "I,ove thine enemies,"
for the fallen high priest says:
"I shall return and with ruth
less hands shall I exterminate the
vipers and the dogs of hell that
now hold the high pi ices in the
CityofZion. They dreamed and
in the grossness of their dreams
they thought they had prevailed
over the first apostle. And now,
priests and elders of Ziou, I shall
return and strike ye down.
"I shall return in another
form brighter and more beautiful
and 10,000 times more terrible.
to cut ye off in the midst of your
sins and to win back Z on for the
truth and tor them that held to
the word and did no evil."
Resolutions.
From Alpha Rebekah Lodge
No. 34, Tue passing away of a
good woman is not sadness, nor
is it death when the beauty of
her good woiks live after her.
After a career of loviag deeds,
of noble and loving self-sacrifice,
of Christian fortitude, at the
noontide of life our dear sister,
Nora D. Lafferty on the 23rd of
February, 1907, entered into
rest. -
It is said to think that a life so
good and beneficient, so bright
and cheerful, diffusing in its
pathway the rays of perennial
sunshine; the very best spirit "of
kindly sympathy and gladness,
should ever close.
"There ia no death but angel forms
Walk o'er the earth with silent tread
They bear oar base loved thiag awiy
And then we call them dead.
Bjt ever near us though unseen.
The dear humor tnl spirits tread
Foa all the boundless uaweraa U life
The.-e are no dead.

OAC Easebali Nine.
Out at OAC every evening
there is a . bunch of about 28
young "huskies" at hard prac
tice, each one trying his prettiest
to win a position on the OAC
baseball nine that will this season
represent the college in this line
of sport. Heretofore there has
been no regular team at the in
stitution but Prof. F. C. Mc-
Reynolds has been engaged as
coach for this year and it is the
intention to put out an aggrega
tion that will be able to keep up
the reputation of the college from
the beginning to the ' end of the
season. Coach McReynolds
states that he has an abundance
of excellent material from which
to select a nine, and that all who
are practicing are making an ex--cellent
showing in the various
positions.
New suits are expected to ar
rive soon. 1 ney will be maroon.
with orange Jerseys and hose,
and the OAC monogram on the
sweaters. These will certainly
be very attractive and will stim
ulate an interest and a pride in
the sport on the part of the play
ers. While the first team has not
been officially announced, it is
understood that the personnel
and positions will be as follows:
Todd, pitcher; Wolfe, catcher;
center field, Moore, short stop,
Murray; right field, "Dugaa"
Rooper; left field, Bilyeu; 1st
base, Beatty; 2nd base, Swann;
3rd base, Jones.
Among others who are mak
ing a record at pitching are Roop
er and hSrague. and taere is
other good material for sevetal
other positions, wh'ch makes the
final selection for firct team hon
ors a matter of some doubt as yet
even to Coach McReynolds.
Received Their Medals.
The cross country run has be
come an annual event among the
OAC sport and it requires men
of remarkable endurance to suc
cecssully compete for prizes or to
make even a fair showing in the
race. A four mile run over hill
and level, means a terrible strain
on the man performing the stunt
and that it has been done in a
little more than 27 minutes out
at OAC, shews that there is good
material in the bunch of fellows
that won out ia the recent
event.
The winners by classes
first run were: Senior
in the
class.
Spires; Juno , Da Volt;
Sophc-
more, Totten; Freshman,
Cross.
These became not Oiily class
represen'atives but candidates for
honors in the final run which was
pulled off a week ago. In the
final event DaVolt won first place
and Cross second, and Tuesday
morning in chapel Prof. Berch
old in ai appropriate speech pre
sented the gold medals to the two
winners. The medals are very
pretty and bear the words, "OAC
Cross Country," together with
name, date and the class of which
the winner is a member.
The voung men may well be
proud of their hard-earned tro
phies.
Is a Success.
Fred Stump is one OAC grad
uate who is making a success of
fjrmln?. ' He is ODerating a bi
place ia Polk county and deals
extensively in high grade stocs.
Aa item coacermng nun appears
iu the ''Independence Westside.
It says:
"Fred Stump reports numerous
sales cf puie-b:ed stock from the
F.racre.-t farm this spring which
includes Lincoln aud Cotswold
sheep aud Berkshire hogs.
'rheia:m now bi3 about 210
acres seeded dowa to clover and
worst is to Di comia-.ieu a.u i
tha line until several hundrtd
acres more are se Urd. Very
good returns have been secured
from the clover seed crop which
taken in connection with the pr;-
duction of the pure-bred animal?
on the farm and other sources cf
revenue makes the operation of
the farm fairly profitable. While
Ferncrest farm is a large one,
Mr. Stump is an advocate of
smaller fanns, he believing that
with intelligent effort put forth
in diversified farming on smaller
'racts, the returns can be made
as profitable as on larger farms
and at the same time with much
less worry and trouble to the
owner."
Have Ambition.
Ambitions rule the world
control human destinies.
Know a man's amoitiou
and
and
you know his life.
Some men have ambition to do
things. Then the world hears of
an Alexander, a Caesar, a Na
poleon, a Grant or a Roosevelt,
savs a writer. With mn of this
stamp ambition is a postilion,
driving hard spurs of necessity
into the foremost horse that
draws the chariot of progress.
Other men there are whose onlv
ambition is to do nothing not
even "sit by the fire and spin."
When such men die the world.
says, and says truly: "Lrooa nu
ance; there goes nobody."
Men who have ambition to d3
nothing are found everywhere.
They are the curse of society, the
drag ot business and the dregs in
the cup of life.
Just the other day Willie Dol-
ess was discharged from his posi
tion by his employet. In exten
uation ot himself Willie said to
his employer: "Why do yo 1
discharge me? I ain't done noth-
ing." "Yes," said the employ
er, "that is j'ist the reason I dis-
charge you, because you haven't
done anything."
Years ago a yonng man wrote
to Henry Ward Beecher, asking
him to find an easy position for
him, as he wanted to come to the
city, and Mr. Beecher is said to
have replied. "My dear bov,
there is only one easy place and
that is in the grave." Yet there
are many men who are in search
of the "sott snap," content to
forever sit down doing nothine,
being nothing, living idle, aim
less, doless lives.
Such men as these are forgetful
of the fact that wealth without
use of that position, and leisure
unearned are the very things that
take awy tbe zest of life, fiil tne
mind ot man with unutterable
bitterness and mad jealousies that
iuflime the passions and incite to
the pe.formance of the worst of
deeds.
Nothing comes from nothing
is the old law of life. It needs
to be empha-iiz'd again and
again. Eery reat creation of
art, every masterpiece in litera
ture, every vie "rv for the right
and truth has b.en won at the
price of hard and continuous la
bor. Proposals for Wood.
