Indian Did Pretty Well, but th
White Man Did Better.
Among the famous Indian trad
ers of the past was George Galphin,
whose trading station at Silver
Bluif, S. C, was frequented by In
dians from far and near. In "Bench
and Bar of South Carolina a char
acteristic anecdote is related of Mr.
Galphin and an Indian chief.
Chief Mogoloch from beyond the
Savannah river spent the night at
Mr. Galphin's. In the morning the
Indian said, "Me dream last night."
"Ah!" said Galphin. "What did
mv red brother dream ?"
"Me dream you give me fine big
rifle," in Galphin's possession at the
time.
The trader instantly passed the
rifle to the chief, saying, "If you
dreamed it, you must have it." -
Next morning Galphin said to the
chief, "I dreamed last night

there is an irresistible scene which
6ome of the critics condemned as
too absurdly impossible. .A farmer
and his pretty but strong minded
wife arrive for service, put up their
horse asd cart at the village inn,
then take their p'aces in their pew,
bringing 'in their whip with them.
During the sermpn the farmer, ren

after efiucts of a heavy week's work,
nods ami finalh falls asleep. His
wife quietly reaches out for the
whip in Mjc corner of the pew, picks
it up ard gives him a regular deal
er's cut across the ear with the lash,
with a supremely funny tableau for
sequel. That was what the critics
declared ti be an impossible silua- i
tion. A? it fact, the present writer'

From this point the operations
of all mining companies should b
scrutinized very clcsely before
any money is paid out on tbeir
stocks. Tbe means employed to
finance the treasury corresponds
to the chatacter and necessities of
the promoter.
Tbe first question for anyone
with money to risk in a mining
speculation is, wbe actually con
trols tbe property and tbe cash?
Ttose men should be most closely
investigated.- Their regard for
security of treasury funds ard its
intelligent application to the le
gitimate busijjessot exploring and
opening the mining ground ought
to be es sacred as the regard of a
Bank President for tbe Bank's
tunds. Not like some Presidents
we have all heard oi lately, but
like , tbe banker whom all trust
and who prove faithful. -
The , best of men frequently
make tbe mistake ot inspiring
hope that returns . will come
quickly cn money invested in
their stock. Persons believing
them buy their stock, and when
be time ccmes for tbe anticipa
ted dividends, a partially devel
oped' mice, with no pay ore. or
net enough to work at a profit,
stares them in the face and tbey
are disappointed. At this point
most stockholders get cold feet
and re iuse to buy more stock or to
encourage their friends to buy,
ard" the property remains idle.
Nethirg chills a -mine to death
like stcck-holders with cold feet.
Tbe trouble is tbey lock for divi
dends too scon.
When a legitimate mine oper
ator, staits in to open a mire ne
prepares to do so, just as carefully
and vth, as much foresight as
would a man planltngafr:Yp'ple'
orchard. Tbe man with an or
chard would not expect returns
from his trees tor five or six years.
Neither does tbe miDe operator
expect any returns until be has
opened and blocked out a body of
ore of enough value, and large
enough to present a tangible cash
investment , or, at least, enough
to enable an engineer to forecast
the probable contents ot his vein.

Teachers' Examination.
There are other causes than
over capitalization which
tend to lower the opinion of the
public inregaid to mining stocks
Sometimes a company will be
wrecked, even though possessed
of valuable mining property
Seme man has discovered good
mining ground, be opens i;
enough to attract attention, then
a promoter locks him up and ob
tains an option ; perhaps be pays
$100 to bind the bargain fcr three
or four moBths. The promoter
then forms a corporation with
one million shares of a pal value
of $ 1 a sbare. He finds persons
to buy enough of the stock to pa
the miner who found tbe ground.
The promoter and these persons
take six-tenths of the stcck ano
issue it, as paid upstctk, to them
selves in payment for the mine.
(It is now cel?ed a mine, although
$ ico would usually be a big price
tor all the work on it.) The
property is deeded to the com
part', and if tbe promoter is ex
perienced, he will have the six
tenths o. the stock pooled for si
or twelve months. The remain
ing four-tentbs of the stock h
then placed in the treasury, and
a stock-bcok with certificates hav
ing green, red or yellow back aru
gilt front is purchased, and th'
company is leady for business.

come later in tbe season. Each
literary society bad a representa
tive entered, and the hopes of the
various groups ran high as one
by one tbe orations were delivered
and tbe large audience voiped its
approval in hearty applause. It
seems too bad that anyone should
have bad to be disappointed when
all did so well, but since this is a
condition that must alway be
met, it is pleasant to relate that
the markings were very close,
and that the final decision of tbe
judges met with favor trom tbe
audience.
John G. Scbroeder, editor of
tbe College Barometer, a young
man rf sterling worth and
marked literary ability, was
awarded first place, securing a
handsome gold medal, suitably
engraved, $15 in cash, and the
honor of representing the Oregon
Agricultural College in the Inter-
State oratorical contest at Pull

subject was "Nature's Call," and
be represented the Jefiersonian
society.

and the honor of representing
OAC in tbe Inter-Collegiate cou
test in Monmouth next month,
was the reward for E. E. Calla
way, of the Zetagathean society,
"whose ' subject "was A'Nation's
Need."
Third place was won bv Miss
Mamie Scoggin, of the Pierian
society. Her subject was, "The

oration was very pleasing. She

"KERRY GOW "
Famous Play Coming Feb. 6th
All Corvallis Will See It.
The management of the opera
boose takes pleasure in announc
ing that tbe best play ever pre
sented in Corvallis, "Kerry
Gow" will again be produce
here next Thursday night. IF
ou haven't seen this beautiful
play you cannot afford to miss the
opportunity. If you saw it last
year tell youf friends about it and
come again.
No drama has lived so long as
beautiful Kerry Gow, the sweet
love s'ory ot Dan O'Hara, the
village blacksmith, and the pret
ty colleen, Norah Drew.' The
heart throbs, the troubles, the
trials they endure and their ulti
mate happiness, the story sr
beautifully told is always new
".Kerry Gow" is tbe play whicft
brought Joseph Murphy both
tame and fortune for more than a
quarter of a century, and this sea
son Bernard Daly will appear a
the heio. Mr. Daly has had an
extensive experience with many
leading stars, last season with
Denman Thompson, before that
with Cbaimcey Olcott. Besides
his great capabilities as an actor,'
Mr. Daly is the possessor of a .
phenomenal high tenor voice
which be uses with cousumate
skill. In the famous horseshoe
ing scene, Dan O'Hara makes a
horse shoe in the full view of the
audience and the shoeing of the
horse is accomplished in like
manner."" The last act isoneof -beauty
and simplicity combined.
Tbe glad tidings when the doves
come back with the news that the
race is won and tbat the home is
saved has always aroused the
most enthusiastic appreciation.
Supported bv an excellent com
pany of actors and surrounded
with an adequate production, tne
r r rr
coming ; pertormance or A-erry
Gow will be a notable feature of
this season's attractions.
Reserve seat sale opens Wed
nesday morning. Prices 35c to

Whn produced he.e last season,
"Kerry Gow" gave such univeisl
satisfaction that , it is a foregone
conclusion that the opera house wilh
be crowded again next lhursday
night. Those deeiring good seats
must secure them early. Several
theatre parties are forming. It is
one of the prettiest sketcr.es f pure
Irish character ever written, and is
a wholesome ph;y for anybody to
