Returning TO the Nicaragua Canal mat

blessed thing that the project is not in

that IL is one which every true American

to success. II VIC hear that in British in

old and ratified ghost of the Clayton Bull

is inclined TO ask questions relative to our
willingness to divide control of isthmian

Mr. Reeves Hustlinc.-There was "a
long and exciting colloquy between Repre-
sentative Walter Reeves and Senator Gull
lon in a corner Of the Senate chamber yes
terday afternoon. The Representatives
manner was characterized by many and
earnest gestures, and the Senator's by a
vigorous shaking of the head apparently in
dissent to the propositions being made It
is understood that the subject of discus
sion was the Illinois GOvernorshp. The
withdrawal of John Riley Tanner is said to
have broken the force of Mr.. Reeves can
didacy as the Administrations Representa-
tive, and he is reported to hold Senator
CulIom to the bargain made when Tan
ner's obstinacy was a dangerous factor in
the Illinois situation. Your "Uncbe Shelby
can distinguish as quickly and as accurate
ly between a hawk and a hernsaw as the
keenest eyed among the youngsters. and il
is said that under the changed conditions
in Illinois he realizes that every fellow
must look out for himself lest he be the
unlucky hindmost man consigned by the
rules OF political competition to his sl-
tanlc majesty. the devil. Whether or rot
the Administration has also turned the cold
shoulder to Mr.. Reeves is not yet known.
though 1t Is said that some of the Federal
officeholders who were working for Reeves
while Tanner was In the race have lost
their enthusiasm for him.

Clever Entertainers.

The amusement loving public
Of Corvallis has 10 cause for
complaint at the quality of en-
tertainment now being offered.
The latest treat was the per
formanco Of Alba Haywood and
his company, Saturday evening,
fo- the opportunity of witnessing
which, we are to thank the JEFF
fersonian Society of the college.
Mr.. Haywood is in the very first
rank of entertainers of his class.
AS character inpersonator he
has few equals. Probably the
strongest of his new specialties
is "Mr. Dennis Mudd," an orig
ina1 character sketch. Mr.. Mudd
is pessimist of the genus popu-
list. He finds fault with every
thing but himself, and scorns all
who gets weak eyes from looking
on the bright side Of things.
Aside from the work of Mr..
Haywood, the strongest numbers
ON the program were rendered
by Mr.. Gustav Ulrich. As
'oellist Corvallis audiences have
never heard his equal. His first
number was stornily encored
and was responded to with the
intermezzo from "Cayalleria
Rusticana." His rendition of
Peppers Spinning Wheel
displayed technique almost
faultless. AS a second encore
he played "Asleep in the Deep"
with excellent taste and express
sion. AS much can not be said
for the work of Miss Monroe
with the violin. She lacks the
power necessary for a truthful
rendition of De>Beriot's Military
Concerto, which she essayed.
The ringing bugle calls were
mere echoes of what the selec-
ton demands, and the fire and
warmth of the composition we're
entirely lost. Miss Cole has a
pleasing voice and winning
manner, but she is not a prima
donna.

that day and were largely at

Rev. Humbert delivered the ser

In the afternoon large NUM-
Der of people gathered ON Main
street to listen to the concert
given by the Corvallis Band.
And from words of praise be.
slowed on the boys, it is safe to
say that they were both sur-
prised and delighted with the
selections given and the style OF
their rendition.
AS a~matter of history it will
be interesting to learn that the
observation of Thanksgiving was
instituted in Oregon within II
months after the admission OF
the state into the union, or al
mest 4I years ago. The day
set apart was Thursday, Decem-
Der 2o. The proclamation was
issued by John Whitaker, the
first governor Of the state, at the
request of 7o pioneer women of
Oregon City. A copy Of the
proclamation, the briefest ever
issuebd y all Oregon governor, is
now in the possession of George
Fl. Hines, secretary of the Ore
gon Historical Society. threads
as follows: -...
BE 1t known, that in con-
formity with the wishes of many
citizens of Oregon, I do appoint
and sat apart Thursday, the 2oth
day of December, 1859, as a day
to be kept for public thanksgiv.

out the state in such a manner
as the good citizens of thereof
may deem most appropriate.

"Unc1e Josh" Coming.

"Uncle Josh spruceby," a
rollicking farm play, tinged with
just enough of the earnest side of
life to bring into strong relief the
honest, fun-loving New England
agricu1turist, played to large
houses all week at the Metre
politan Theater. Specialties
were numerous and we'll done,
and the acting throughout in
keeping with the scenes. The
strong feature of the play was
the musical side. An excellent
orchestra and band accompanies
the show: and their work was
decidedly good. Every day at
noon time the streets of the city
were paraded by the "Rube"
band which was not only funny
in its outlandish and ronde-
script uniforms, but was also
very good indeed on account of
the high grade of music fur
nished. ''Uncle Josh" will play
to good business should his all
around good entertainers play a
return engagement. - Sunday

Home Oh a Visit.

Mr.. e. J. Garrow and sons, Jos.

urday, from MoCloud, Calf, where
Mr.. Garrow has permanent employ.
ment as superintendent of the large
sawmill at that place. Joseph and
Wilbur have been employed in
these mills since early summer and
will return to resume their duties
next spring. Mr.. Garrow will leave
again for MeCloud about the last OF
January. One Of the largest lum-
bering Enterprises on the coast is
located at this point From 2OO,-
600 to 100000 feet Of lumber is
shipped daily from these mills.
Vast quantities Of ties, ETC., are
supplied to the S. P. railroad com.

logs brought from the forest by rail !.
This summer six engines were kept
busy night and day hauling logs
and still the mills were unable to
keep up with orders. Unlike agri.

Farewell .sTi."

If six feet of earth makes us
all of one size, then "Ti' is to.
day the peer Of imperial Caesar.
II after days of suffering, ex-
perienced the cold transition from
life to death last Sunday anorn-
ing sometime between the hours
of 3 and 9. At the former hour a
visitor to his home near the Sal
vation Army barracks found him
s'resting easy," and at 9 o'clock
he was found dead by one of his
countrymen. During the day a
collection was taken to defray
funeral expenses, and yesterday
at O'Clock he was buried with
all the wierd rites of Chinese Gus
tom, at Crystal Lake cemetery.
Ii came to Corvallis something
over twenty years ago. How
long before that he left his native
heath, seems to be unknown to
his most intimate acquaintance.
He was young and powerful then,
was not afraid of work and had
the faculty of getting along.
Having amassed a small compe-
te11ce, he visited his wife in
China some eight years ago and
was absent about fifteen months.
He was the father of two child
rem, but they are both dead.
For some years Ii has been in
failing health; and recently made
a trip to Portland to consult a
physician. There he learned
that his ail1nent was cancerous
consumption, and he came home
to die. At the time of his demise
he was about fifty years of age.
tt was a pretty decent fellow.
He was always ready and willing
to work, and never asked some
thing for nothing. He had the
esteem of his countrymen and
the confidence of those who en-
ployed him. He probably did
his duty as he saw it. That is all
any of us can do.

Somewhat Excited.

A short time ago J. E. No
Gilverv, in the employ of the
Oregon Telephone Co., was in
Corvallis looking after the in
terests of his company. 1t will
appear from the following, taken
from the Albany Democrat, that
Mr.. McGilvery was the cause of
considerable uneasiness to our
local ferryman:
J. E. McGilvery, the we'll
known telephone Dan last Sat
urday crossed the ferry at Cor
wallis with rig for Shedd. He
had the ferryman sign the Gus
tomary telephone oompany's re-
|ceipt as voucher, which he
did without reading it. After
McGilvery had gone he made up
his mind that he had signed
away his farm or had given his
note for a fortune and had been
taken in, so he rushed to Cor
wallis, got a Livery rig and
started after McGilvery. When
he reached Shedd --AcGilvery had
just left for Harrisburg. The
excited ferryman telephoned to
that place to have him arrested
en his arrival, but matters were
finally explained to the excited
ferryrnan and he returned home,
out several dollars on account of
his wild goose chase.
