NEW YORK, May PA special to the
sun from Washington says: In view of
the reports that Japan. is preparing for
possible conflict with Russia a bit of
news that has been received here is re-
garded as important. 1t is to the effect
that live torpedoes are being placed in all
the japanese harbors This is a measure
adopted by nations only when war is i'm
ninent or hostilities are in progress. The
only explanation offered for Japan's ac-
tion here is that the Japanese expect
that they will soon have q conflict on
their hands.

IS. 90 kind, come here. The only
difference is in the absence of the

for the hat, come here. Agent

nUR glove stock is the best
~ patronized and most popular
in this vicinity, because we make
a constant effort to show a larger
line, and offer better glove values
than any other local dealer. It is
not easy to do a satisfactory kid
glove business. It requires long
experience, careful buying, con-
scientious selling and a wiling
ness to be content with a small
profit. We recognize all these
requirements and conform to them.
That's why Corvallis women can
get better gloves here for the
price than elsewhere.

LIBERTY'S FAIR GODDESS.
Her Representative Will be Chosen
by Ballot.

A happy move on the part of the
committee having the Fourth o1
July celebration in charge was the
placing of the choice Of Goddess for
that occasion in the hands of the
people. Ballot boxes were placed
in the various business houses and
already the voting is spirited. Any
lady in the county is eligible, and
who the fortunate one will be is a
mere matter of conjecture. Each
day adds new names to the bulletin
board, and when the result of the
days ballot appears at five o'clock
each afternoon, crowds gather to see
the position held by their favorite
candidate. This balloting serves a
double purpose. 1t arouses interest
in the coming celebration. and
everyone is given an opportunity
to contribute to its success and say
as emphatically as his pocketbook
will allow who in his opinion
should be goddess. Here is one in
stance where it is considered no
crime to buy votes, and the ballot
box is stuffed every day.
The result of today's count is as

Jimmy Hayes received a letter
from Pole Avery a few days ago.
Jimmy prizes the letter on account
of its having been written from
"Old Ireland" also because 1t was,
written in Irish. Pole was well
and expected TO leave Ireland short
ly after writing and proceed to
Scotland, thence through England
to London. He expected to be in
Paris on the Fourth of July. -

The selection by the male

their previous efforts, was most
acceptable. The wonderful ad-
vancement made by Ruthyn
Turney in broadness of concep-
ton and 1nasterful Interpretation,
since last heard here was a sur
prise and delight to his auditors.
A storm of applause followed his
violin solo, which continued un-
til he responded with an encore.
The piano accompaniment, by
Miss Edith Gibson, was played
with much taste and added great
ly to the charm of the solo. The
selections of The Cecilian Chorus
were worthy of especial mention.
A feature not to be over looked
was the piano accompaniment
by Mr.. Goodnough. Even here
the touch of the artist was evil
dent.

COMMENCEMENT.

The dark clouds and drizzliug
rains of Wednesday 1essened in
no wise the commencement at
tendance. The audience was as
large as on any former like occas-
ion, and the applause which fol-
lowed each number on the pro-
gram attested its merit. The
music by the orchestra, under di-
rection of Mr.. Turney, has never
been excelled at these annual ex-
ercises.
Two delightful numbers on
the program were vocal. solos by
Miss Mabel Johnson. Since her
departure from this city she has
received instructions from some
of the best vecalists in the coun-
try and her improvement is
marked and gives promise of a
brilliant future for this young
lady.
The class of 1900 has a mem
bership of thirty-seven. They
have chosen for their motto:
"Learn to see by seeing; learn
to do by doing" :" With the ex-
ception of Mr.. Lea, who is a
master of science, all have taken
the decree of Bachelor of Science.
The diplomas were presented by

Excellent Programs and Large Audience
at the o. A. c. Commencement
Exercises.
The 3Ist annual commence
1nent of the Oregon Agriculture
College has marked the close O.
what President Apperson, of the
board of regents, said in his re-
marks to the class "Wednesday
morning was the most success
full year in the history of the
school. The class of graduates
numbering thirty-six young men
and women is one of the largest
which ever passed out of the in
stitution. Beginning with the
baccalaureate sermon last Sun
day the people of this city to-
gether with a large number from
abroad, have been edited and en-
tertained by the various classes
and the alumni.
Monday night the Seniors
gave their annual entertainment
at the Armory. The exercises
consisted of song, "The Noun
tains," by the Senior Quartet;
a recitation, "The New Lochin-
war;" by w. c. Abrams; "Cata-
Inns Defiance" a dialogue by
A. J. Bier and J. G. Elgin; Act
III, scene " from "Mary
Stuart" by Misses Minnie Bux-
ton and Inez Fuller; and Act I,
scene I,:from "King Lear" the
various characters being distri-
buted as follows: King Lear,
w. w. Garrow; King of France,
J. H. Gallagher; Duke of Bur
CANDY, J. G. Elgin; Duke of
Albany, A. J. Bier; Duke of
Cornwall, w. c. Abrams; Earl
of Kent, A. H Frazier; daugh-
ters of Lear-Ganeral, Joyce
Hershner; Regan, Lillian Ran
ney, and Cordelia, Garlan Hill.
The costumes used in these
various sketches were beautiful
and appropriate, and while in
many respects the various roles
were crude i'll conception and un-
furnished in presentation, much
natural talent was displayed and
the performers were earnest in
their efforts.
Miss Minnie Buxton presented
the senior mantle, and Fred
Stump received it On behalf of
Junior Class.
The prize contest by the class
i'll elocution drew a crowd which
filled the arrnory to the doors.
A first prize was contested for by
the gentlemen aud first and sec
ond prizes were awarded the
ladies. The program was too
long to admit of Individual crit
icisrn, and the decision of the
judges settles the question of SUI
periority. 1t must have been
toss of the coin, with the judges,
however, to decide between Miss
Spangler, Miss Looney, Miss
Burton and Miss Holland. The
bit elias" undoubted-
ly turned the scales in Miss
Looney's favor and she was
awarded first honors. Miss Hol-
lands rendition of 1.-THE Spin
ning-wheel song" won for her
the second place. Of the gentle
men, Mr.. Bilyeu was the choice
of the judges. The entire pro-
gram was a credit to the perform
ers and their instructor. 1t was
as follows:
Music, male quartette; decla-
nation, "Patrick Henry's Plea
for Liberty" !" George Thompson;
recitation, "The Old Actors
Story" Ethel Kyle; recitation,
"Aux Italiens," Lulu Spangler;
