Far OAC, U. of p. an J State Nor- r mals Palmer's Oplnibn- Ex-county Judge Eune Palmer, of Albany, was ' in' th city this week gathering up the petitions that have been circulat ed with a view to obtaining a referendum vote en' the Univer sity of Oregon appropriation bill,' says the Telegram. - Mr. Palmer states that he will have the re quired Dumber of 'signatures, with iooo to spare, and that the petitions have been extensively c rculated in Clackamas, ' Linn. Marion, Multnomah and Uma tilla, as well as in other counties. 'Not one man in twelve ha? lelus-ed to s-iyn our petition," si.id Mr. Palmer this morning. "Y r have been severely rriticis td, but 1 would like to sav that we are not opposed to the uni versity or the men connected with it, but we do denounce the manner in which the measure whs passed. Neither do v e think the school is. getting tot: much money for imorovements, hut we do believe that the ap propriation as a continual one, i too large. Personally I would have consented to an appropria tion Of $200,000 this year, if the university needs it, but I blame the legislature for not providing a method for raising revenue, other than a direct tax on the people of the stite. I am entire ly friendly to the cause of higher educaiion, but belive that the s ate should have one board of regents for the University of Oregon, Agricultural College and Normal schools. We have too many normals; two would be quite sufficient. Mr. Palmer stated that the course of study at the Univer sity of Oregon was a partial dup licate of that of the Oregon Ag ricultural College. The L, nn county man said he favored raising the standard of the pub lic schools all over the state to include the ninth and tenth grades. He was asked if he b -lieved the defeat of the appro priation bill would result in in crease of the common school fund, and be answered in the ifBrmative. Found Guilty of Murder. Many people in Corvallis re member Miss Rose Eytiuge, the actress, wuo spent some time in this city a year or two ago and who gave a public recital here, assisted by her pupil iu dramatic art. Miss EJna Irvine. Re meinbering this pleasant lady, a dispatch from Phoenix, Arizona, in Wednesday's Oregonian, comes almost as a personal shock, for it says: Louis V. Eytinge, who claims to be a nephew of the ta iHcus actr.ss, Rose Eytinge, was today found guilty of the muidcr ot John Leight, ot She bovgon, Wis., and will be sen tenced to life imprisonment. The jury was out all night and re turned a verdict of murder in the iiit-t degiee. Evtinge received the verd.ct unmoved and smiled j 1 he foreman rean the fiading jury. Ssntence will be formerly pissed upon the pris oner June 4. . Eytinge and Leight came to Pbcnix together several months ago. lney were bota suttenng from long trouble and while bound for Arizona had become acquainted. I bey roomed to gether here and on March 17th took a ride together into th -desert, Leight never returning His body was later found in an unfrequented spot and at the in quest it' developed that be had been poisoned. All his money and valuables' had -disappeared: A month later Eytinge was ap prehended iii Sari "Francisco, brought back here and " tiled fo mhrder.

Dorris, the '" Eugene attorneys who went tor'Frisco ' list 'week For the' purpose of tendering pay ment for a large ' acreage ot the Sonthern Pacific company's tim ber land in Lane county, have arrived home in Eugene. In re gard to their trip and the results the Eugene Guatd says. Messrs. Woodcock and Dorris represented the Gross company, which has collected 50 each from 45 or 50 persons for the purpose cf rrshinp- the matter throrgh. If successful a part of the money is to applied to a loca tion fee. If unsuccessful, the money is lost, but those who have paid the sum seem to be willifg to risk the chance and rxnect a favorable decision by the courts. Mr. Woodcock, when seen by a reporter, stated that the tender of the money wa ; made the offi cials, who refused to accept and who really became very angry. Suit wiM now be commenced to compel the company to sell, and those interested in the matter are very hwpeful of the outcome, al though a good many think it will be a number of years before the land will be secured by those filing on it now, or not at all. The acreage represented by Mr. Woodcock consists of about 20 sections. Prosperity Here. Things are not standing still in Corvallis this spring, if any of your neighbors happen to in quire." " There are several things that have already happened, and numerous others are on the bills. One of the latest is the horse and livestock show that happens on the 7th and 8th of June and for which great plans are now being made. This will be not only the biggest affair of the sort ever attempted in Benton, but it will be one which will have a far-reaching and beneficial eflVct which will mean much to the county tor many a "moon." Another thing: Corvallis will celebrate and do it up about right. : Committees are hard at work on details and there is no doubt that the eagle will scream with a vim in this city July 4th. Corvallis is growing: Ttie Johnson brick is rapidly nearing completion; so is the Small brick, and a thousand and one minor buildings and improvements are under way. " Every working man in Corvallis is busy, or it is hi own faul, for there is work at good wages for those who seek it, and prosperity smiles upon alL Married- x An noon Sunday, at the home of the bride's- parents on Five Rivers, Mr. Frank Peek and Miss Ellen Seits were united in the holy bonds of matTimonv. M'ss Ernest played the wedding march as the couple entered the room and Rev. W. D. Risley spoke the impressive words that I made the couple one. Tne bridegroom wore the convention al black and the bride was at tired in a beautiful costume of white siik and carried a bou quet ot red and white roses. Be sides the parents and near rela tives ot the contracting parties, chere was a goodly number ot ycung ladies and gentlemen pre sent, about 40 in all.

" ' . " -;". . ":- -: AGED 120 YEARS. Oldest Person in the' World Cele brates Birthday. About the time that the Amer ican colonies realized the- neces sity of federation, while the United States constitution was yet unwritten and the nation still unborn, there came into the world oh a farm near Knoxville, Tennessee, a girl baby who was destined to witness the marvel ous changes that have since transformed the world and to survive out ot the old time into ours. The child that learned to lisp when Washington was pres ident in the eighteenth century, still lives to talk of President Roosevelt in the twentieth cen tury, and eyes that a hundred years ago looked lovingly upon her first born, today smile with a fading light upon the "child of her old age," a woman now nearly 77. Mary Ramsey Wods was born as Mary Ramsey on May 20, 1787. She was a tiny maid when the French revolution was dyeing the gutters of Paris red; she was a laughing school girl of 7 when Tennessee was admitted as a state to the union ; she was a blushing bride when the great Napoleon ceded Louisana to the United States, and a prond young mother when Lewis and Clark tramped over the conti nent to "where roils the Ore gon." And she well remembers her father taking down his gun, shouldering his blankets and go ing out to fight the battles of his country in the war ot 1812. Monday Mrs. Woods spent her 120th birthday receiving a few callers and cleaning gooseber ries. Though probably the oldest woman in tne world, her intel lect is still keen, as is shown by the fact that a little over a year ago her testimony' decided a law suit and settled the title to pro perty which was deeded over 42 years ago. We can scarcely realize the marvelous changes that have taken place in the world during Mrs. Woods' eventful lite. When she was a child people lit erally lived the "simple life" none of the comforts o: conven iences of today were in existence. Gentlemen still wore the fancv costume, knickerbockers, frilled shirts and cocked hats, while the common people wore homespun. She was a babe of two years when this government began business. She was 20 vears old when Robert Fulton ploughed waters with his primitive steam boat, and 40 years old when the first railway was laid. In those old days the spinning jenny was not invented and the tiusta thin, undreamed of. Oa feels a sort of awe in talk ing with and gazing upon some one who has seen so much and lived so lone in this world of ours. Her face is a study in wrinkles. Her voice is a quaver, but her carriage is good and her manner alert. And yet no one can see her and yearn to live to - be 120 years oid. Mr.. Woods home is at Hillsboro. Oregon Journal. Mops in Polk. The prospects for a fair price for hops the coming year looks a little dubious at present, declares a Polk county exchange. ' The idea is reflected by some hop men who think that the present condition of the crop is below the average. Ochers say that they are about in average condi tion for this t;me of the year. Some of the older bottom land yards show a good growth but taking the' old, new, upland and bottom land the present condi- tton;i,s fully np to the- standard. , 5 T.he worst, feature is that the large yards are not able to get enough men to keep the yards in snape. The two high waters spring have made an extraordi nary amount of work necessary to get the bottom lands in good shape. Krebs Bros, for instance having nearly 100 acres on which they have been unable to get the trellis poles set or the land plow ed even once. If there were enough men one week would be enough to get the balance of the strings in, and the vines trained, and none of the vines would be badly tangled by that time. The last rain came just right so that they have all been able to get the yards plowed in fairly gool condition. THESE XiZXZ V5NNE33. In City Election Monday Amendments Carried. The lour chatter amendments that were voted on at the city election Monday carried by large majorities. The amendment making the wa"er committee elective canied by 256 majority, and the others went through with a large, number of votes to spare. George E. Lilly was electel mayor of Corvallis over F. L.
