Reports From Benton Teachers About School Fair. Reports from all parts of Ben ton are being received by Super intendent Denman, who fur nishes the following for publi cation, as this seems to be appre ciated by teachers, pupils and the public alike. Mr. Denman says in an introductory line: "In case your district is not repre sented it is the fault of the teacher, as every teacher has been asked to report." The let ters follow: District No. 5. Corvallis, Or., May 26, '07. Mr. Geo. Denman. Dear Sir: I enclose "District No. 5's" report for . the fair. The pupils of this school district are very busy preparing for the lair. We will have excel lent (exhibits in the agricul ture, drawing, writing, sewing, and cooking departments. Our d strict will have a complete ex hibit, aud all are trying for one of the grand prizes for the dis tricts and pupils. The children are ail deeply in terested and great enthusiasm exists in the coming first school fair ever held in our couaty. Everyone is doing their very best to make a fine showing. The parents also aie interested and are enconraging the children to put forth their best efforts. Every child iu the school and in the distriot will be represented in August. Things look bright and promising for our pupils and ' district. Very truly, Etta Young, teacher. District No. 74. Albany, Or., May 88, '07. Dear Sup't: Since your visit to our school new interest has been awakened on the part of the pupils in the big tair this year. I desire to report that interest is getting bet ter each day, and judging from present indications, district No. 74, will be chere with a good showing. The following pupils will represent our district: Helen Hodges, Erwiu Rodgers, Harold Bailev, Willie Krocker, Charley Hale,' Albert Hale, Verl Hale, Pearl Bailey, Herman Bailey, Elswortb Kay, Hazel Kay, Dollie Glen, Alva Krocker, Monroe Wyn, Anna Halman. We will be represented iu the agricultur al, sewing, cooking, fruit pre serving, and in all the other con tests. Look out for district No.. 74- Very truly, Clecna Dewitt. - District No. 43. Corvallis, Or., May 26, '07. Mr. Geo.'W. Denman. Dear Sir. The following is my report on jhe Benton county school fair. The seeds given by Mr. Butzar were distributed among the pupils immediately a:ter receiving them. Each of the pupils selected the seeds he or she wished to plant. The boys choosing the vegetables, while the girls mostly the flower t,erds. Much interest has been Miown in the work, and it con ditions are favorable, I think their display will be a creditable one, consisting of almost every contest, open to the pupils. Considering the size of the dist rict, the age ot the pupils, I have no tears as to the outcome. Much encouragment has been given the pupils both at school and at home. I think the par ents in this district are so much interested in the coming fair that when summer comes, you will find each father directing his boy and each mother her girl. The people from this district are not ed for their ability as gardaerb and therefore are doubly inter ested in the coming event. They realize the benefit to be derived by their own children through the fair. The school will make a good showing on August 29, 3o, 31- Yours respectfully, Edith McCourt. District No. 36. (This report was sent us on re ceipt of our first request for re ports frem teachers. Since re ceiving it Mr. Miller has retired from the school, but we desir to publish this report as it shows what is being done in this dist rict. Since receiving it we have asked the present teacher, Miss Mattley, to send us a later report which has been received. This later report will be publiseed with the next list of reports to be printed. ) Mr. Sup't: In response to your invitation to send you a report of what the school at this time was doiug in the preparation for the coming Benton county school fair, I send you the following: I believe you will find your efforts in this matter highly ap preciated by this school and pa trons. The children are pleased with the prospect of a pleasant and profitable time with the other schools and the opportunity for comparing the hard work they are doing with the work of other schools. I think it is an added impetus to the pupils, and the teacher as well, tor thoroughness in their work. I note new and better interest on the part of the pupils in their work of the school room. Although trie spring nas been backward and the work in gardening greatly retarded, the seeds distributed to the pupils, with many others, have been safely put away in boxes of loam prepared by the children in their homes, and the knowledge of conditions necessary to pro duce the best results are eagerly sought. I have noticed the rainy day play time seems to be pleasantly employed by the girls in the var ious kinds of sewing, aud as for baking bread, every method known to woman is being inves tigated and tried. The enthusiasm in the fair is not and should not be confined merely to the school and to the teacher. These are only factors in the good work and results to be obtained. But every father, every mother, every man and every woman should do their part to demonstrate this fact, to the many visitors who will be at the big fair, that Benton county was not merely seen from the car window. The fair will even be an eye-opener to our own cit izens. Many there are who have lived in Benton connty for the past 25 years who do not even have a conception of the fertility, the advantages, the resources ot our own county. This is the only opportunity ever given our people to demonstrate Benton's resources. It is an opportunity never enjoyed before by the ru ral neighborhoods to show the public the special advantages of tueir respective neighborhoods in the way of good schools, in dustrious children and produc tive soils. The fair should be highly educational. Our social and financial resources also shar ing in the benefits to be derived therefrom. R. R, Miller. District No. 3. The pupils from this district expect to be heard from as well as seen at the coming lair Gardening is in progress, and if work and interest has anything to do with it, we will get our share of the various prizes. We also expect to take part in the writing, drawing, spelling, ciphering, and all other con tests. We have our shoulders to the wheel and we're going to live to make the fair a success. Look out for us for we are going to be there. Walter Winnit'ord, teacher. Mra. H. W. KaupUch has been ! the guest, of Albany re.'atim- and 1 fr.ends this week. BEGINS TODAY.

A Salem dsspatch to the Tele gram says: The breaking ot the ratchet dog in the capstan of the steamer Pomona, while the boat was try ing to extricate itself from a log jam at the mouth of the McKen- zie river, at 5 o'clock Monday morning, resulted in the serious injury of two of the deck hands and possibly the death of John Fronmader, who is now lying at the point of death at the Samar itan hospital. The boat was descending tne river from Corvallis on the last trip when it got caught in the logjam. An attempt was made co pull her on by band with the capstan and a cable to shore, when the cable broke and the donkey engine was hooked on. The ratchet dog gave wav under the strain, and the capstan lever whirled around with tremendous force. Frohmader was struck in the. head and knocked back against the cabin and the anchor. His head and body are terribly lacerated, and although' he was brought the entire distance by rowboat, team and launch to this city and placed in the hospital, be had not regained conscious ness this morning and the extent of his injuries cannot be ascer tained. The regular session of the Sunday School and the morning service at the Congregational church will be suspended on account of the Bacca laureate address to be given at the college a r no ory. nextbabbath morn ing. The C. E. service at 7 p. m. and the preaching eeroice at 8 p. m. will be held as usual. The tf p- ic for the evenine will be, "Tie Earnest Life." Rev. A. W. Mono smith, pastor. Committed Suicide. John Stahlbu ch, who was ex amined Monday before Countv Judge Woodward, Dr. Farra and Dr. Newth and adjudged insane, commiUed suicide during the night Monday, and was found dead early Tuesday morning by Sheriff Burnett. An asylum attendant came up from Salem Monday evening to take Mr. Stahlbusch to that city, and the two were to leave on the early morning train. Sheriff Burnett therefore went to the jail about 5:15 Tuesday to awak en Mr. Stahlbusch and give him breakfast,- but upon speaking to the prisoner, received no reply. Peering closer, Mr. Burnett found the lifeless body hanging to the door, the bed blanket hav ing been torn up and made into a rope for the purpose. The feet dragged on the floor and had he desired; the victim could easily have stood erect and removed the noose after deciding on tse fatal act. This, however, it was plainly evident he did not at tempt nor desire. The body was left hanging until Herman Stahl busch was summoned from the island above town and arrived to give instructions. The remains were then examined by a physi cian, after which they were re moved to the morgue. Tiie funeral occurred Wednesday af ternoon from the undertaking parlors and interment was in Crystal Lake cemetery. Jonn Stahlbusch was a Ger man, aged about 45 years, and unmarried. The survivors are two sisters, Mis. Ben Woldt of Portland, Mrs. Joseph Fierstein of Albany, and Herman Stahl busch, residing above town. Commencement at U. of O.
