OUR NATAL DAY.

The Hath anniversary of the
nations birthday was not, IN any
marked degree, unlike those which
had preceded it for number of
decades. Almost everybody did
substantially the same things
they did year ago, the exceptions
being those who had "turned
over the new leaf" in the inter-
vening time.
Corvallis, as city. did not cele-
brate, but almost all her inhabi-
tants preferred to pass the day
away from home.
The excursion to the front
claimed the largest number of our
people who recreated on the
Fourth. There was ample room
on the train for the 25O people
who chose the invigorating ride
into the heart of the Cascade
mountains and the scenery along
the route-the grand mountain
scenery than which nothing more
readily arouses the patriotic in
stincts of the human mind.
A goodly number of our citizens
celebrated in Portland where
everything was conducted upon a
grand scale. An advance agent
of Robinson's circus stated that
the procession was five miles long,
and of all the parades which he
had ever witnessed this was Sec
end only, in grandeur and i'm
mensity, to the one produced each
day by the aggregation which he
represented. The modesty of all
circus men stimulates the belief
that the agents account is correct,
and 1t is so ordered.
Corvallis was quite we'll repre-
sented at Salem, and those who
spent the day at the capital were
we'll pleased with the entertain
ment. The firemen's races were
among the chief attractions. j.
w. Minto, A. B. Seal and VIM.
Mackay acted as judges, and NJ. S.
Neugass, W. H. Warner and Hen
ry Haas were the timekeepers.
The hose and engine races were
won by the Corvallis team. These
two prizes amounted to $3.50.
The names of those who pulled
Corvallis colors to victory are G.
w. Young, Chas. Beach, Clyde
Beach, Wardie Harmon, Ellsworth
Cameron, Chas. Taylor, John Dyer,
Geo. Houck, VIM. Hunter, James
Horning, Ebert Phillips, Ed. Zeis.
Among the other places which
attracted our people on the Fourth
are Lebanon, Summit, Little Elk,
Toledo, etc.
Every available conveyance in
the city had been engaged by ex-
cursionists, and there was the usu-
al amount of clatter and hustle in
the morning. Soon, however, the
city quieted down and to portion
of those who remained at home it
was a day of gloomy inactivity
and to others an opportunity for
genuine repose. Our friends who
celebrated abroad are all GONZALES
cent-doing as we'll as could be
expected, and If they will forego
their summer vacation their pres
ent indisposition may soon be
overcome.

Down in one Of the rooms Of the fremont
house is bodstead which strikes terror to the
heart of every man who is assigned to that
room. The strange feature about IL is its i'm
mense proportions. 1t is bed fit for or q
bed that would fit a giant, and it is a bed
with history. Years ago, in the old days
Of the fremont, "Long John" Wentworth
used to board there, and this bed was con-
structed especially for him, He stopped at
this hotel for a long time, and left there only
when colored help was introduced. Mr..
Wentworth did not like colored men, and he
went over to the Sherman house to board.
There he remained until he died. But col
ored men did not like Mr.. Wentworth, so it
was sort of stand Off The big bed is still
at the fremont, however, and it is usually
reserved for extra tall men. Once in a while
a mistake will be made, and a small man will
be assigned to the room. II such cases
search warrant is usually sworn out to find
the man IN the morning. This happened once
when Frank Daniels, the sawed off comedian,
was given the bed, but he was discovered be-
fore the evening performance They found
him in one of the side pockets, and the next
night they drew a fourteen inch balk line
around the bed.--Chicago Herald.

An impression prevails in England that
Prince Albert Victor of Wales will never re-
turn alive from India. 1t is well known that
he has from the very outset been extremely
averse to making the trip, and that he has
regarded his Indian Odyssey with the most
gloomy forebodings The news, therefore,
that on the very first day Of his arrival in
BQsbay the elephant on which he was riding
stumbled and fell, and that at later hour on
the same afternoon the horses which he was
driving boitod and smashed his carriage to
pieces, has been received with much uneasi-
ness in London. 1t is true that the prince
escaped on each occasion with nothing be-
You'd a few scratches and a severe shaking,
but the fact remains that the two accidents
on the same day are regarded by the super
stitious as an exceedingly ominous beginning
to the Indian tour of England's future king.

The Ancient Art of Embarn,inr.

In view of modern progress in embalming,
desiccation, and other methods of preserving
the dead for an indefinite time, it is interest
ing to note that it has been estimated that
more than 100000 600 human mummies were
made in Egypt from the beginning of the art
of embalming until its discontinuance in the
Seventh century. There were three grades
of embalming. For preserving his relative
in the most approved style the Egyptian had
to-pay 81, 225; in the second grade, the opera
ton cost about 1915; the third method was
so cheap as to DO considered "within the
