higher prices from wholesale manufac-

THE MEDALS AWARDED.

That the interest the Corvallis public
feels for matters of literary or musical
nature is no transient thing. is manifested
every time all opportunity is given it to
show its appreciation for affairs of this
kind. Although those who were to en-
tertain last Saturday evening, at the con-
test given under the auspices of the w.
R. c., were for the most part scarcely
more than infants, when the curtain rose
there was large audience to greet them.
Seated upon the stage were the contest
ants who were chosen representatives
from the various grades of the public
school. There were sixteen of them and
they ranged from the tiny tot of six or
seven to the prirn young lady of sixteen.
This disparity in the ages of the compe-
titors for the two medals, made it difficult
| task for the judges to decide who were
| the victors. As each number was render
the little elocutionist's chance for the
| medal, and when the last contestant had
finished, it was generally conceded that
Miss Edna Irvine was entitled to the gold
medal, with Misses Flett, Linville, and
S.easgreen worthy foemen of her steel.
The decision of the judges confirmed
| their opinion so far as Miss Irvine was
concerned, hut surprised many by award
ing the silver medal to Miss Mary Will
| liams. The defamation was varied with
vocal solos by Misses Mabel johnson and
Lulu Spangler, and instrumental select
ions by Misses Uhlman and Wilkins. So
pleasing were these numbers, that the
audience accorded each an encore.
DR.. E. J. Thompson, Rev. P. A. Moses,
and Prof. G. w. Shaw composed the
board of judges, and Judge Burnett, S.
L. Kline and E. E. Wilson were selected
as the council to canvass the decisions
of the judges and make the report.
Judge Burnett presented the medals in
behalf of Ellsworth W. R. c. in a very
neat speech, and the recipients accepted
them with much grace and modesty.
Following is the list of contestants and
their standing:
Blanche Hershner, 77.2; Laura Flett,
S4.5; Edna Irvine, 9o.3; Anita Harkin,
7S2; Jennie Clark, IT'S; Frank Crosby,
72.e; Ralph Erwin, 1874; Aileen Peter

JOHN HENRv,s PROXY.

~"John Henry is now anita. p. A. sdi-
tor Of the Times by proxy. Poor John has
been reduced from the editorial to the local
page. 1t was probably in disgust that he
transferred his nom de plume to a legal
Tammany boss and retired to the beautiful
Alsea valley where he is tolerated if not re-
spected. John Henry" Is pretty good
fellow. But the trouble with John is he
came out to Corvallis to exterminate the A.
p. A. dragon that to his fsfyid imagination
was threatening to deyour the great republi-
can party. The dragon refused to show its
head, but John was determined to fight. He
went out of the convention sore because he
f1ourished his sword in air, but brought no
blood. He consulted with Tammany bosses
and Pope Wilhelm. and they persuaded
poor John that the dragon was there, but
was invisible and clothed in impregnable
armor. John has been dazed ever since.
He jumped wildly into Tammany ranks,
and last Saturday the Times had another
article over his signature. But John didn't
write it. He had simply transferred his
magical pseudonym to Tammany's high
cock -alorem. Such expressions as these,
"Imagined he is all booted and spurred
with all the a.coutrcments of a modern cow
boy, and with lasso and lash is out on the
raid;" ..Swinging the old party whip and
yelling like Colnanchs he rushes after the
fleeing herd cutting right and left indiscrim-
inately;" 1.-THE poor old ring boned and
spawned cayuse, which still bears the brands
and ear marks of tho now defunct o. P. r.
R." sound very familiar to any one who
has attended the circuit court for Benton
county during the past twenty years. John
Henry, proxy" wanders from the subject in
troduccd by John Henry, original" The
original "John Henry" is all right. He is
now back on his native heath, and after he
has eaten heartily of a few messes Of mus
tarJ greens, he will regain his normal condi-
ton, hire some good populist to kick him
over Digger hill, and then swear to nevsr
again listen to the siren voices Of Pope Will
helm and Tammany bosses.

RIVER AND HARBoR BILL.

The GAZETTE received this week from
Congressman Hermann, copy of the
river and larbor bill. AS the bill passed
the house it carried $25, 900 for Yaquina,
and provided for placing the work under
the continuous contract system at cost
not exceeding one million dollars. Ap-
preparations were also included in the
bill for the improvement of the Yamhill
and Willamette rivers. This week the
bill passed the senate where the Oregon
items were zea1ously guarded by Senators
Mitchell and Mcbride. Last week it was
reported here that special fight was be-
ing made before the commerce commit

wired that it was of the utmost import.
ance that these items be retained. In
reply. Senator Mcbride telegraphed that
the Yaquina appropriations would be
held as it came from the house. Senator
Mitchell, writing to this paper under
| a recent date, states that "The report as
to the effort to defeat the Yaquina pro-
position has been greatly magnifed. The
difficulty has been simply this: The
chairman of the committee on commerce
Senator Fry. of Maine, for some reasor
or other, had gotten it into his head tha
the commerce did not justify so large ap
preparations, and he has been disposed a
chairman of the committee to oppose thu

FRUIT COMMISSIONER DALEY
HERE,

Chas. L. Dali ey, member of the Stat,
Board of Horticulture, is in town. Mr..
Daley is fruit commissioner of the second
horticultural district, which comprises the
counties Of Marion, Linn, Lane. Benton,
Lincoln, and Polk. and he is at pres
ent on tour of inspection Of the orchards
Of the district. He arrived in Corvallis
Tuesday afternoon. having spent most of the
day in looking over the Benton County
Prune Company's orchard in company with
its general superintendent, Prof. e. K. Lake
Mr.. Daley is practical and experienced
fruitgrower of Marion county. He bears
the reputation of being one of the most
thorough and careful fruit men in the state.
He has an orchard near Salem OF about
thirty-fiva acres planted in prunes, which has
been in bearing two years, and last season
netted him the :nug little sum of 81 200.
Mr.. Daily contracted for the sale of his crop
of prunes on the farm at five cents per pound
before he had finished dryihg them. The
fact that this crop was disposed of for five
cents while other growers received from one
half cent to a cent and half less per pound
would certainly indicate that he understands
the business in all its details.
During his present tour of the district Mr..
Daley will make speciality of visiting the
small orchards. It is his business to exam
inc the various orchards for pests and fun
gus diseases, and report his findings to the
growers and give them instruction in apply
ing the proper remedy. In fact Mr.. Daley
is running sort of school Of horticulture,
he being tho instructor and the orchardists
of the district the pupils.
As the fruit industry is yet young, it needs
to be fostered and encouraged, and to that
end the State Board Of Horticulture was
established-to disseminate information on
the subject of fruit culture, thereby giving
the young and inexperienced grower the
advantage of all the information cleaned
through years Of study and experimentation
along the lines of horticulture.
Mr.. Dailcy speaks very highly OF the
Benton County Prune Co.'s orchard. which,
he saws, is one of the best in the state, and
which, he thinks, is in a very much better
condition than when he visited it two years
ago. Speaking of the fruit interests of the
| county, MIR. DALEY said: eat the present
time Marion county is the fruit center OF the
Willamette valley, the orchards about
Salem being generally two or thrce years
oil Ter than those in other sections of the val
ley. Benton county, however, with her
$500 acres of fruit is rapidly coming to the
fore and is destined soon TO become one ol
the leading fruitgrowing counties Of the
state. The orchards in this vicinity are
with few exceptions, looking splendidiy
Frosts have apparently done little damage
around here except to peaches, cherries and
pears, although the late heavy rains have
undoubtedly injured all the fruit more OF
less, but to what extent it will be impossible
| to estimate for couple Of weeks yet
Mr.. Daley expects to leave here tomor
row for other sections of the district, bu
will return again in about month.
