OREGON.
WAS AN OAC STUDENT.
"Pink Domino" Burglar Played
. Football at College Last Fat.
It now transpires that the
Pink domino" burglar that has
been terroiizing Nob bill resi
dents ia Portland, and who was
captured Wednesday through "the
assistance of Mrs. 100 Hauimer-
sley of that city, is a tormer OAC
student. When in Corvallis. the
voung man was known as Ernest
Lane and he played football last
season on the second team. It is
said that he did not leave this
city until January, in which case
he must have gone direct to
Portland to engage in his nefar
ious practice. He came to OAC
t the beginning of the scho 1
yeor last fall and left here in Jan
uary as stated. He was a good
student and was not regarded as
vicious by his teachers. He
played football and stood high in
his classes, in fact was regarded
as an ideal student, until he
made a trip to Portland about the
holidays After his return from
there he appeared like a different
bov and because of immoral con
duct was finally expelled from
college, although nothing was
known of it outside of college at
the time, as it is the way of
j President Gatch to give such
bovs an opportunity to redeem
their reputations, and therefore
the fact of expulsiou is not nois
ed abroad.
Young Lane, as he was known
here, had a refined, rather effem
inate face, and was well liked
until the latter part of his stay in
school when his conduct became
questionable. His photos in the
Pottiand papers were recognized
instantly by many former class
mates and college friends
The crimes for which Lane L
held are too numerous to permit
of details here. In one burglary
be is said to have beaten a lady
into insensibility after she had
given him her diamond earrings.
When captured he had three re
volvers on his person and fought
desperately with the officers, by
whom he had to be clubbed into
submission. A worse career for
so young a criminal would be
hard to unearth. Lane is but 19
years of age and is an Oregon
boy, his home being up the Col
umbia. Raw Meat for Tuberculosis.
In order to ascertain the value
of raw meat in the treatment of
tuberculosis, which has lately,
come into vogue on the conti
nent, a series of experiments on
dogs were undertaken by Richet,
the results of which have just
been published in the Journal of
the French academy, says an ex
chauge. The author decla.es that these
experiments show raw meat to
have great value as an aid to re
cuperation, and that its merit lies
more in the nature of the food
than in the amount of protein it
may contain. That is to say the
same quantity of nutrients in
raw and cooked meats do not
give the same results.
A number of animals were fed
on restricted diets made up tor
different periods of raw meat,
porridge, consisting ot rice, milk
and sugar, cooked meats and
cheese. The animals fed on a
mixed diet remained in good
condition. The animals ted on
porridge died before the termina
tion of the experimental period.
Animals fed on cooked meat
lost 20 per cent in weight, while
the raw meat animals maintained
a constant weight and rapidly re
covered after periods of fasting or
undernutrition on other diets.
Passing of Keeler Gabbert.
Keeler Gabbert, a former well
known newspaper man of this
city where he was at one time
employed on the Times, is dead.
The story of his passing was re
lated in Thursday's Tonrnal. and
the story wai repeated about j
town manv an old acquaintance
spoke kindiv ot the quiet, unas
suming nun who - was 7 a good
printer and a 'good fellow" in
newspaperdom. The story is as
follows:
Keeler Gabbert, a well known
newsptper man of Portland and
vicinity, dropped dean of heart
disease this morning at abont 11
o'clock at the corner of First
and Washington s reets. He was
picked up bv bystanders and was
taken to , Finley's undertaking
parlors by the police.
Gabbert was well known in
Portlaud and was about 50 years
of age. At various times he has
been employed by the Journal,
the Oregonian and the Telegram.
He was also the editor of the Sr
Helena Mist three or four years
ago, but sold that prop rty to E
H. Elagg, the present editor.
For some time pst be has been a
newspaper correspondent at Ore
gon City.
Mr. Gabbert married Miss
Stella Rowland of Roseburg, but
was separated from his wife some
time ago. Mrs. Gabbert. is now
living at Eugene. The deceased
has two sisters in Portland. Mrs.
Lulu Kramer of 781 York street,
and Miss Ethel Gabbert, a sten
ographer for the diug firm of
Archer & Schantz. A brother
also resides in Salem.
At the Skating Rink.
Raie sights are seen these days
at the Corvallls skating rink.
where men, women and children
are making a desperate effort to
become graceful skaters. Men
who are by nature modest and
retiring forget all bashfulness and
go through stunts before a crowd
ed house thatrival anything ever
seen in Oregon, if not on earth.
One fellow who put on the rollers
oue day last week is said to have
gone through all the movements
usually made .by a man fighting
yellow jackets, and in addition to
swinging his arms and striking
wildly with his feet, he got in
some remarkable side twists and
lunges of the body that were the
amazement of all beholders.
Another person is said to have
strongly resembled the move
ments of a Dutch windmill in
full operation, while on all sides
stunts more or less remarkable
were constantly taking place.
In the forenoons the ladies of
the city have been allowed to
skate tree, in order to learn, and
the way some of them have jar
red the rink in alighting has cre
ated much admiration of their
courage in returning again to
the task ot learning.
The small boy is there in all
his glory and ot course he can
skate. Not infrequently he is
asked to escort some 209-power
female infant around the rink on
ber trial trip, and comes in at
the finish exhausted but enthu
siastic, for by all who have tried
skating there is only one verdict
it is simply the finest amuse-
menc in Corvallis.

MANY
Cut Rates ' Begin Jnne 1st Con
ventions Mean Half Fare.
Every active commercial or
ganization should get full details
relative to the summer tourist
round- trip rates whi;h will be
on sale from Junelst to Setpem-
ber 15th with final return limit
of Oct. 31st. These' tickets are
on sale at all Missouri river
points, St. Paul and Minneapolis
for $60; from St. Louis, $69, and
from Chicago $75, and should
add enormously to the transient
travel to every town in Oregon,
but it is just exactly like the
colonist rates, if we do not push
them and keep them constantly
before the people the travel will
go to some other section, and
certainly we have the most ad'
vamageous summer climate m
the United States.
Timber Values Increased.
Timber land values in Linn
county and in Oregon seem des
tined to increase right along, un
til they are quoted on the basis
of $10 to $15 a thousand stump
age, according to dealers in such
lands, says Sunday's Albany
Herald. At present the average
value is about $x per thousand.
The demand for timber lands
on the part ot Eastern capital
ist is on the increase from week
to week, and to use a crusier's
expression, "You don't have to
hunt up a buver if you have a
good tract of timber to sell. The
buyer will be sure to hunt you."
'Timber lands are no longer
bought and sold by the acre,"
said a well known timber laud
operator who was in Albany yes
terday. Crusiers are now put on
the road to ascertain just bow
much timber is growing on a
given tract, and the value t such
a tract of land is based on the
number ot thousand teet of
stumpage. In Linn and Lincoln
counties values are the highest,
a? the tinioeris considered more
avai'able. In the remo e dis
tricts, east or the mm a tains,
timber land is cheaper, because
logging roads will have to be
constructed at considerable ex
pense o bring the timber to mar
ket. "I look for even the most re
mote of these lands to be brought
into requisition in the near fu
ture, and the world will continue
to demand all the timber avail
able iu the northwest until the
supply is exhausted."
"BROTHER" IN TROUBLE.
Globe Trotter Writes Oregonian of
Treatment in Corvallis.
Alphabetical Swackhanner is
in trouble again and this time he
carries his grief to the Oregonian.
He has been camping around
Corvallis. and the students of the
College city lit on him like flies
around a molasse . barrel and this
is what the colored "lecturer"
writes to the Oregonian.

Gone to Debate.
The debaters who will repre
sent th- Uaiversitv of Oregon in
the interstate debate jham'pioa
ship of the Rockv Mountain re
gion and the Pacific Northwest
with the Uaiversity of Utah, left .
for Salt Lake Siturday. The
two men are F. V. Galloway, off
McMinnville, and J. C. Veatchr
of Cottage Grove. The former
was leader of the negative team
in the try-state league, and the
latter ot the affirmative.
The debate which the menu
will take part in on April 26,
will probably be the most im
portant oue ever held on the Pa
cific Coasr. for the reason that
both institutions which the teams
represent are champions of the
respective sections.
The question will be exactly
the same as debated with Wash
ington and Idaho, .the repeal of
the fifteenth, and a clause of the
fourteenth amendments. While
Oregon won on both sides of the
question, it is generally consider
ed that the side the negative
adverse to the repeal, is the
strong st, and that side Oregon
will have it in this debate.
