LETTER LIST.
The following letters retrain uncalled

Sunshine rules again in Corvallis, and
while some wish for more rain, others
are elad of the chance to pleasant wtath
er. Impossible to please everyone, no' A clock over
matter wnat trie conditions.
"Yes, I met President Roose
velt in Washington : had a glimpse
of the Tombs where Harry Thaw
is incarcerated in New York;
saw the famous Madison - Square
root garden where the White
Thaw tragedy occurred, and the
tower wbere Stanford White's
rooms were located, and ten mil
lion other sights that I can not
describe," declared Miss Alda
Metcalt, the Cotvallis girl who
has just returned from a three
weeks' trip East as a guest of
Phillip S. Bates' contest party of
girls. It was the trip of a life-
time, for Mr. Bates was princely
in his treatment of the lucky
girls who won the free trip, and
their every wish was gratibed.
Their first important stop after
leaving Chicago was at Washing
ton, D. C. , where they were tak
en about the city in an automo
bile, all the points of interest be
ing explained by a lectuier who
accompanied the party. "This
is a city ot great wealth," said
the lecturer, "and everyone has
money in Washington. Every
bird has a bill in its mouth,
every horse wears a check on its
head, every flower has a (s) cent,
every blade ot grass has a green
oack, every nigger who mows a
lawn gets a good rake-off and
everyone goes out of town m
summer for the change." By
the time the speaker had com
pleted the list and stopped te
catch his breath the Oregon girls
were convinced that Washington
was indeed a city oi vast riches.
The home of Mr. and : Mrs.
Nicholas Longworth was viewed,
but with its uninviting, cold
brown stone front and its lawn
grown knee-high with rank grass
it did not appeal to the Oregon
"peaches." The Lrongworths
are away for the summer. All
the homes of the government of
ficials and high dignatanes were
seen, but none appealed parti'
cularly to the bunch ot lassies
from the far West. "They are all
so much alike, all so severe and
cold, and so jammed together
that it would kill me to have to
live in one," said the Corvallis
girl who saw them.
The girls visited Mt Vernon,
the old home of George and Mar
tha Washington ; they visited the
tomb of the illustrious pair and
saw the coffins that hold the
ashes of the father of his coun
try and his wife. Much of the
furniture used by the Washing-
tons is preserved at Mt. Vernon
and was seen by the Oregon
party, including the bed in which
George Washington died. A
leaf from a magnolia tree planted
at Mt. Vernon by the "boy who
never told a lie" is among Miss
Metcalf's treasured souvenir .
President Roosevelt was at Mt.
Vernon the same day, and Miss
Metcalf petted his favorite riding
horse while the groom awaited
the appearance of the President.
"We had dinner at the Ebbitt
house that night," said Miss
Metcalf, "and Senator Bourne
diaed with us. The next dav he
went wiib us to the White House
and introduced us to President
Roosevelt. The latter greeted
as cordially and as he shook
hands with us made a tew re
marks to each. He looks exact
ly like his pictures and has a
rather odd style of speech."
The girls were shown through
the White Hcuse and the use of
the various rooms was explained.
The dining room is in brown,
including all the furniture; there
is a large, elegant fireplace, din
ing table and chairs, and the
walls are adorned with beautifully
mounted heads of deer, moose,
bear, elk and other animals. A
silver loving cup of superb work
mauship, presented President
RooseveU by some high foreign
dignitary, was one of -the thing'.
especially observed by the girls.
200 years old, a
wedding present to Alice Roose
velt, was also shown the West
ern guests. The White House is
described as elegant and luxur
ious but possessing the genome
'homey" atmosphere probably
its most charming characteristic.
The Bates party visited most
of the points of interest in the
national capital, which is des
cribed as the most beautiful city
seen. From there toe girls took
the steamer Washington for Old
Point Comfort, where the sol
diers came in for a share ot at
tention and the cannon and other
sights of a military post were
viewed.
While the Jamestown exposi
tion was the principal point in
the trip, it received scant atten
tion from the travelers. They
spent but half a day at James
town and the revson is given by
the Corvallis girl, who says:
"Why, there is nothing to see
there, absolutely nothing. The
buildings are just like barns, and
all of them are decorated with
signs ot tresn paint' or tnis
building will be finished in
days.'
The only place where we saw
anything was in the Government
building and even there the ex
hibits did not amount to any
thing."
The partv went from there to
Norfolk, and thence to New York
City by steamer, spending a day
and a night on the ocean, a de
lightful trip enjoyed by all the
girls, none of whom were sick.
Reaching New York City the
party pnt up at the Martha Wash
ington, a hotel for women only,
twelve stories, and a block from
Broadway "The Great White
Way." In this city the homes
of Rockefeller, the Goulds, ;As-
tors, Vanderbilts and other people
of vast wealth were seen but they
elicited uo enthusiasm from the
Oregon girls, accustomed to
plenty of space and fresh air.
"From the Martha Washing
ton we could see the Madison
Square roof garden all lighted
up, where 5000 people at a time
can find entertainment; we could
see the tower where Stanford
White had his suite of rooms,
and we passed the Tombs where
Harry Thaw is confined," said
Miss Metalf.
The girls had a ride in the sub'
way, "did" Central rark, saw
the "Zoo," and two of them
Miss Metcalf and Miss Woolrey
crossed Brocklyn bride and were
entertained all one afternoon at
Coney Island.
A trip to Buffalo, a visit to the
home of Elbert Hubbard, the
noted writer, at East Aurora, a
jaunt to Niagara Falls, where
they were in "The Cave of the
Winas." and the party was off
for the "Twin Cities" St. Paul
and Minneapolis, en route home.
Thence to Portland over the
beautiful Canadian Pacific, and a
very unusual and intensely in
teresting three weeks' journey
was ended in reality, but it will
live in memory forever.

From Teachers in Benton
Pupils are Busy.
School District No. 12.
Blodgett, Or., May 14.
Mr. G. W. Denman:
I desire to tell of the efforts of
the pnpils of Blodgett school
district No. 12. They are pot
ting forth great efforts to have
their school take a prominent
part and place at the All Benton
School Fair. The pupils are
very enthusiastic over their work.
While they are on the play
ground I hear them saying;
among themselves "I'm going to
make a doihe, I have the silk
and thread and the lace select
ed." "Yes, and I have selected
a certain verse from Longfellow
to write." "I have been prac
ticing making butter," says
another; still another is practic
ing in the bread making con
test. Some one else has been
making jelly. Some I hear tell
ing how quickly they have learn
ed to hemstitch and make but
ton holes. Others tell how
quickly the garden seeds sprout
ed and appeared through the
ground. Some talk about how
to raise corn and wheat. To
listen is all one has to do to see
the future benefit derived from
the work done for and by this
fair.
Mrs. Anna Hall Mathany.
School District No. 1.
Preparations for a splendid ex
hibit are being enthusiastically
carried out by the pupils from
this school. The aim of the pu
pils is nothing short oi a com
plete exhibit, and having the
hearty co-operation of their par
ents it is believed they will have
no occasion for having their
standard lowered.

"Qrandma" Nichols.
Another kindly, aged face is
missing from the ranks in Cor
vallis, and out in Newton ceme
tery a monnd of freshly turned
earth marks the last abode of
"Grandma" Nichols.
A few weeks ago deceased fell
and sustained a fracture of the
hip. Gradually thereafter her
strength failed and death came
peacefully Wednesday evening at
the home of her son, Charles
Nichols, where she had made her
home for a long time.
Mrs. Hannah Nichols was born
in Derbershire, England, Dec
ember 27, 1824. She was mar
ried to Edward Nichols in 1848
and came to America in 1849.
one was a kindly disposed, up
right, honorable woman who
made friends wherever she went
and in Corvallis she was fami
liarly known as "grandma" and
was beloved by many.
The funeral occurred from the
Wilkin's chapel Friday forenoon,
conducted by .Rev. G. H. Feese,
a choir furnishing appropriate
music. There was a generous
supply of Oregon's choice roses
and numerous friends were pres
ent to pay their repects to the de
parted. Interment was in New
ton cemetery.

It was not a Corvallis little
girl who wrote the following es
say on King Solomon, but
an Illinois girl who had caught
the spirit from attending a high
school commencement and lis
tening to the flowery orations of
the yonng graduates, btae wrote :
'King Solomon was a man
who lived ever so many years
ago, and in the country he gov
erned he was the whole push.
He was an awful wise man, and
one day two wot en came to him
each holding on to the leg of a
baby and nearly pulling it in
two, and both claiming it. And
King Solomon was feeling right
good, ana he said, "Why could
not the brat have been born
twins and stopped all this both
er?" And then he called for his
sword and was going to chop the
kid in two and give each ot them
a piece of it, when the one who
was the real mother said: "atop,
Solomon; stay thy hand! Let
that old hag have it; if I can't
have a whole baby I won't have
any." Then Solomon told her
to take the baby and go home
and wash its face, for he knew it
was hers; and he told the other
woman to go chase herself.
"King Solomon built Solo
mon's temple, and he was the
father of all the Masons. He had
700 wives and 300 lady friends,
and that is wuy there are so
many Masons in the world. My
papa savs that King Solomon
was a warm number, and I think
he was hot stuff, myself. That's
all I know about King Solomon"
Another respected citizen of
Corvallis has passed on, and rt. 1
latives and friends have bnen
left to mourn the loss of a kind
husband, brother, friend . and
neighbor. He is A. N. Locke,
who died at 11 o'clock Thursday
night after suffering for more
than two months from paralysis.
His last weeks of life were made
as comfortable as possible by the
family and friends, but from the
first there was little hope of re
covery.
The funeral occurred at 2
o'clock Sunday afternoon, from
the residence, the services being
conducted by Rev. J. B. Ellison.
Interment was in the Locke cemetery.
Deceased was aged about 65
years and was a native ot Miss
ouri. He came to Benton coun
ty with his father in 1847, the
Lockes being among the early
settlers in Benton. There was a
large family consisting of two
girls and six boys, only two of
whom survive A. R. ana W.
Locke, both respected residents
of this locality. The surviving
widow was in girlhood Miss bin-
married in Missouri 23 years ago. .
Mr. Locke was a good citizen
ish his memory.

Different Training Needed,.
There are more young men iri
the penitentiaries in this country
learning trades than there are
outside of them learning trades,
declares an exchange. The prin
cipal cause for this is that we are
educating our young men for idle
gentlemen, trying to make law
yers, preachers, doctors and
clerks out of material that is
needed for blacksmiths, carpen
ters, merchants and other honest
"hewers of wood and drawers of
water." It is a mistake, and a
bijj one, to tea "h boys and girls
to believe that labor is disgrace:
ful, and to do nothing for a liv
ing is more becoming to society.
Han such societv!
It is rovten to the core and is
ruining our country today; and
there are sons and daughters who
are being educated to play the
"leading lady" and the "walk
ing gentleman" in the drama of
life, who will light out for the
poor house or the penitentiary
before the curtain drops on the
last sad act of the play to which
they hav been educated by their
too indulgent parents.
