It is estimated that 75 silver
cups will be required as awards
in the big livestock show that is
to take place in Corvallis next

will be required also to guarantee
tbe success of the undertaking
and $250 had been raised up to
Tuesday morning, and up to yes
terday rODn the sum pledged bad
reached a higher figure.
Frcm the woid 4,go" the horse
and stock show has been put
down as a certain success, and
every day witnesses a deeper in
terest and enthusiasm in the pro
ject. Not only those who are in
charge of details, but farmers
throughout the county are en
thused, and are determined to do
all in their power to make the
show a big affair.
Tbe general committee con
sists of W. H. Savage, Henry
Ambler, Thorras Fawcett, W.
H. Currin and Grant Elgin, the
latter being secretary. The ex
ecutive committee is Thomas
Fawcett, W. H. Currin and

Everything points to the show
not only being interesting and
successful, but al o beneficial to
the best interests of Benton
countv, and all farmers should
take a personal part in the event
and enter their stock for exhibi
tion purposes.
Addition to Newport.
Great interest is being taken
in Yaquina bay developments,
and it is said that more cottages
will be put up there this summer
than ever before. 'The result
will be numerous additions to
Newport, along the coast north
of Nye Creek.
Arrangements are now being
made, according to an exchange,
for an addition just south of Big
creek, near the Monterey, only a
half mile north of Nye creek, to
be known as Beach Park, by sev
eral Albany men. There will b
one hundred lots, 40x80, with a
number of pretty driveways
through the park, splendidly sit
uated, running down to the
beach. The price of the lots has
not yet been agreed upon, out it
is said that it will be somewhere
between $50 to $100, according
to location. Several have si
ready expressed an intention of
building cottages the comiug
summer. It will be awhile be
tore the promoters have tbe lots
ready to put on the market.
He Will beWekcmed.
Friends of education should
welcome the advent of a new
man of attainments and inde
pendence in the state. Accord
ing to reliable information Prof.
Kerr, the new president-elect of
the Oregon Agricultural College
is such a man. He is pot a ma
chine man and will not allow his
work to be dictated by political
manipulators. Oregon wants the
best there is available in the field
of education. She neees all the
acquisitions within reac 1.
just now when tbe people are
dissatisfied with the legislature's
disposition of tbe higher educa
tional question, it is very desir
able that an ontside man should
be brought to pour oil if possible
on the troubled waters. The
life of some ot the state schools
is threatened, in fact, are hang
ing in the balance. When a man
with the repntation and attain
ments of Prof. Kerr can be se
cured to lend tbe power of his
assistance to clarify the situatiou
and to assist to lite the state-aided
schools from tbe state of dis-
favor into whicb they have fallen
he should be warmly welconed.

Her Lectures.
Tbe lecture of Mrs. Jean
Morris Ellis, the phrenologist,
cn "Love, Court hip and Mar
riage," given at the Christian
church Monday evening, drew a
large crowd and was very enter
taining, amusing and instruc
tive, Mrs. EH is is a pleasing and
al6 a convincing speaker and
keeps her audience interested
from start to finish. In this lec
ture she declared that people
rush into marriage with no more
serious thought, many times.
than is given to an excursion or
a tsncy ball, and when they dis
cover that the one thev have
married is not an angel, they
cry "L was deceived" and either
rush to the divorce courts o-
spend the rest of their days in
complaints - and murmurings
against "fate."
If, instead of seeing or seeking
all the faults in ones husband or
wife, the other would see and
praise all the good and lovable
traits ot character, one would
soon be convined that the other
person was not so far short of the
ideal as might at first glance be
supposed, declared the lecturer.
We are all given to building air
castles which have no founda
tion in real, every day facts, and
alter marriage, when these cas
tles fall with a crash about our
ears, we should not blame the
other party for not being as we
had fancied, but rather blame
ourselves for our own building of
such impossible structures.
After the lecture Mrs. Ellis
examined the heads ot two
youug ladies, reading their dis
postiions and characters with con
siderable skill, atter which she
went into the audience and se
lected two young men who were,
she declared, suited to the young
ladies and who would make ideal
husbands for them. This prac
tical match-making created much
merriment.
A lecture to ladies or ly was
given by Mrs. Ellis Tuesday eve
ning, which was very good in
deed, and this closed the lady's
engagement in this citv. She
met with splendid success here,
as her lectures are well worth
hearing.
New Enterprise Laurcbed.
Every new industry is of ma
terial worth to Benton county.
One of tbe latest enterprises to
claim public attention is tbe saw
mill of S. H. Moore. It is lecat
ed on the P. A. Kiine place a
few miles west of Ccivalhs. Tbe
mill was started in operation
last week and bas a capacity to
saw 7,000 feet per day.
The plant will be able to put
out first class lumber. A p!iuer
is on tbe ground ard will be in
stalled at once. At present there
are 17 men employed and tte
pay roll is $40 per day. Mr.
Moore has control of 600 acres ci
fine timber and estimates tbat his
timber holdings will run his
mill for five ears. fTbis looks
like a good proposition for the
owner of tbe plant and the com
munity general .y.

well wnen be entered tbe meet,
which was the cause of his fail
ure to keep up his tssual brilliant
record. In the above event,
however, he finished only a cou
ple of vards behind Thomle.
The mile run, although gen
erally conceded to OAC was de
cidedly in favor of OAC from
the start. It was won by John
son ef W. S. C, with Coail and
Welch both of W. S. C. as sec
ocd and third. OAC's runner
in the event was quite a distance
