The question is frequently asked in Corvallis, "Have you heard anything concerning Sam Thurston, of late?" and for the benefit of his many friends a let ter recently received from him i-i given in full. Sam is an eld OAC man at which institution he was a popular student: and football player. He is a brother of Mr -J. L. Jones of this city and is known throughout Benton county. Mr. Thurston went to Arizona because of lung trouble, and he says: I am now at A ham bra. Arizona, and am feeling some better. I have to keep , verv quiet, however, and as long as I do that I tee as good as I ever did. I am in bed about all of the time but in the last week I bave got up and dressed myself and have eaten one meal at the table. I bave lost little or no flesh, and hope oy the time summer is over to be able to show my old self again. I have great confi dence in this climate, and am sure that if I can get health any where I can get it here. I ' Sspeaking ot climate, one can get it here if it is to be had. We have had considerable rain and many cloudy days, but you j would not notice it in Oregon. Here in the valley, rains never last more than a day, but it is long enough to make the people .orget all of their religion. The temperature ranges fiom 70 to 80 degrees in the day time, and between 40 and 50 degrees at night. For a few days it was above 90 degrees and the hum idity down to ten per cent. "Alhambra is a little burg on the Santa Pe railroad about five miles from Phoenix. We have a saloon, etore and post office, all in one; no church, but a goad dance hall. There is to be a dance tonight. Old glory climbs up and proclaims it to the coun tryside. "There are many sights here that would claim your highest appreciation. For lastance, 200 or 500 fat cattle in one field, with the alfalfa up to their backs. It is claimed that stockmen here can raise a tour-year oid steer and fit him lor the market foi $7- . . Another grand sight is the sh' aring . camps. Sheepmen gradually work their flocks down the valley, or desert, and all sheer at one center. There is one camp close to this place where over 15,000 sheep are ready to be shorn. The shear ing is dune by machinery at th rate of 3.000 sheep per day. Buyers come here from the East and the wool is all bought up earlv in the season. 'The ostrich farm is also very interesting. It is all fenced off in ha. f-acre lots ana each pair is kept by itself. There are about 1 500 or 2,000 birds in the vicin ity of Phoenix, claimed to be the largest number in captivity at any one place in the world. "Indian blankets and relics and the mounds of the old mound-builders and many other things are dear to the tourist, but the most, impressive leature to the Oregonian is the excellent system ot county roads. Today I watched a team hauling a wagon with over 100 bales of bay on it. They use what we call bundle-racks, and it beats all how they load them. "Arizona is certainly a grand place to spend the winter, but is rather warm in the summer. I must close for this time. Please remember me to all of my old friends and tell them I would like to be with them again." U. nf O. Begins Practice. The U. of O. boys evidently have a firm rwliVf in tri time 1 j .1 . . j Muuu,cu w "ai tuccariy uiru catches the - worm," for football practice is to begin immediately, according to th Guard. It says : The university football candi dates for next year, will begin spring practice next Tuesday. Kicking will be one of the things practiced most assiduously, for that part of the science has be come ihe most important. In fact, to kicking was due Ore gon's success last year, and Coach Bezdek is desirous that nearly every man be able to punt the ball aoout so or 60 yards. Place and drop kicking, as well as punting, will have a place in the training. Signals will be run a intie, our the main em phasis will be put on the indi vidual work of each man. as falling on the ball, catching passes and throwing from one man to another. These things are very important to the new style of game. Sprinting and starting will also be a part of the routine. ' GREAT RELAY RACE. Something Unique in Athletic Events Happens on 27th. The great relay race, as pro posed by the Portland Y. M, C. A. is no doubt destined to be pulled off on April 27th. Gov ernor Chamberlain his received a letter in which the scheme is fully set forth. There will be several teams interested in the race, each team being composed of ten men and each man run ning five miles and delivering a message, which is to be placed in the hands ot the first man by Governor Chamberlain at the capitol, to his relay. The mes sage is to be delivered to Mayor Lane of Portland and the first team to do this gets the award, which, as far as is now known, will be a silver cup and which will be presented by the govern or. The relay promises to be of a unique and interesting character and will no doubt arouse unusual interest among young men ot blood and spirit who are in any way athletic. A race such as the one proposed has never been run in the State of Oregon and it will prove an event well worthy the attention of Oregon athletes. It is proposed that in the near future a meeting of the managers of the respective teams of the basketball league will be held in order to plan more definitely for the big event. The race is to be under the auspices of the state league but will be open to teams not in the league. Willamette University will be represented in the race. The Chemawa Indian school has also signified its in tention of entering a team. The event is arousing interest among the schools and a warm coutest is expected. Willamette Items. The sale ot the Isaac Porter estate was a success in every re spect, the weather being ideal. There was a good attendance. Several Albany people were pres ent. Some of the horses sold as follows: A roan filly, Alice, went to Fred Buchanan ; Porter Brothers purchased the dapple gray stallion "Duke;" Kate, the mother of the two, went to Jess Peterson, and the yearling to C. C. Pritcheit Sam Dixoa is the owner of a handsome black mare called "Pearl." Senator A. J Johnson purchased the sheep, preparatory to making a perma nent home among us. J. P. For Chief of Police. in respond to the request of many citizetut, I nereby announce myself as a candid-tie for t i- office of chief of po.ice wf the city of Corvallis, subject to the will of the people at the oomin city election. If electa!. I shall consider my oath of office binding, and shall do my duty without tear or favor. 30f J. D. WELLS. TO KNOW HER BUTE?:. Should Help Advertise Oregon Germans CoTiing. Every citizen of Oregon should get busy and advise their friends and acquaintances in oiher states that there are Only lour weeks left in which to get ad vantage of the colonist rates 10 Oregon points. These tickets will be sold up to and including April 30th ; there is lots of time to get in good work. All the com mercial bodies of the state should get busy with all the schools, tor while the home makers are pour ing into the state their nuinbeis can be materially increased by proper effort. To know Oregon better and particularly the community in which you live has become epi demic all over the state. Chief Gritzmacher, of the Portland police, has opened a school of in formation tor all of his officers, and they are familiarizing them selves not only with every detail of the city but with important matters relative to the state. Manager Ed Lyons, of the Northern Pacific Terminal Com pany, in charge of all ' the em ployes of the union depot, has opened a similar school of infor mation, and will test his men every two weeks as to their effi ciency. John H. White, ol New Or leans, Louisiana, one of Amer ica's very best publicity men, has come to make his home in Oregon, having accepted tion in Astoria. posi- The Oregon Development League is nearer up with its correspondence than at any time in four months. During last week, however, the names of more than 600 inquirers about Oregon were forwarded to the 64 organizations making up the state body. Two thousand Ger mans who nave inquired about Oregon received a special immi gration number of the Deutch Zeitung during last week. There is no class of people more wel come in this sta.e tnan the Ger mans. Looted the Luggage. That thieves, experienced in their work, took advantage of the recent blockade of passenger trains in Southern Oregon and Northern California, to ply their vocation has been made evident by the artival of baggage in Al- oany that had been looted. Among those who were suffer ers trom the vandaJism ot the robbers, were Mr. and Mrs. Brandshagea of San Francisco, who arrived Sunday from the South after being in the block ade. Their trunk, containing valuables and personal belong ings, arrived there yesterday and when inspected was found to have been looted of its contents, with the exception of articles of inconsiderable value. The lock of the trnnk, which was newly purchased, had been broken and the trunk opened, and the con tents of any value removed. The missing articles were valued at over $150. The cunning of the robbers is evidenced by the tact that after looting the trunk of its contents the lock was loosely adjusted and the straps which bound the trnnk refastened securely, so that the crime was not discovered until Mr. and, Mrs. Brandshagen re ceived the trunk. Business for Rural Carriers. If one may judge by the amount of business transacted throughout Benton county by the rural carriers as they make their rounds, things are on the move in a business way. During the month of March a splendid showing was made. On jiue lour ruru routes a tubai ux '18,185 pieces of toai were deli- the four rural routes a total of ver;d t f-.V" parous on f use lines; the total number of pieces collected was 3,857, and the total amount realized from .sale of stamps, stampted envelopes, etc. on tha rural routes aUvi-s was $55.28 and for the same items on both rural routes and in the lo cal postoffice the sales amounted to $780.05. The business transacted by the four routes is as follows: No. 1, pieces mail delivered, 4167; collected, 582; sales $.53. No. 2, delivered, 4709; collect ed 874; sales $16.53. No. 3, delivered, 5173; collect ed, 1854; sales 18. 76. No. 4, delivered, 4136; collect ed 557; sales $10.36. The busiest place in Corvallis, nearly any tims of day is the handsome new post office, of which everyone is proud, and the above item 3 prove that things are doing on the "inside" as well as "outside" the estab lishment The showing made certainly tells an eloquent tale of pros perity in Benton. REFERENDUM INVOKED. Prominent People Sign Petition Plenty of Signatures. Petitions Cilling for a referen dum vote on the University of Oregon appropriation bill passed by the last legislature have been circulated in Albany this week by members of the Linn county grange. The petitions were printed prior to the meeting held last Saturday when it was de cided to invoke the referendum upon the University of Oregon appropriation, and their circula tion was commenced the first thing Monday morning. The work is going on under the dir ection of the joint committee of the Linn county, grange, ap pointed for that purpose. That the move of the Linn couutv grange to invoke the re ferendum is looked upon with favor by a large number of per sons was shown by the experience of those securing names for the petition. Their success seemed to be almost universal and they state that very few persons re fused to affix their signature to the petition,' when it had been explained. One petition circu lated by C. H. Walker was quick ly filled and was filed with Coun ty Clerk J. W. Miller who will forward it to the secretary of slate. The petition filed con tains the names of two of the heaviest taxpayers ia Linn county, the Mayor of Albany, County Judge, two ex-sheriffs of Lmn county, besides other prom inent persons. The other petitions which are being circulated throughout the county, the committee reports, were being rapidly signed, and it was anticipated that there would be no difficulty in securing the required number of signatures ia time. Why Not Use Elcitric Lights? Stop scratching matches on ) our wall. Tnose streaky match scratches look mighty bad on any wall. But as long aa you continue to nee gas or oil you'ye got to use matches. The "matchless light" is the electric light, a simple twist of the wrist does it. We are improving and perfecting our lighting service in this city and can give better service for less money than ever in the history of the city. The cost of wiring baa been reduced until it is within reach of all. If you would like to know more about it, call on ns in our new office opposite the O. J.
