THE GIST OFT ALL.

THE GIST Or " ALL.
Here's the ''sensiblest"
thing yet said about the
Sampson.Schley discussion.
A Mr.. Thomas, of New York,
talking to a Washington Post
reporter asked: What if
the Spaniards had won in.
stead of the Americans? Who
would have been blamed by
the Navy Department, the
country and the world? Who
would have been court.mar.
tailed and disgraced? 1t
would have been Admiral
Schley? 1t would not have
been Admiral Sampson, who
was miles away when the en-.
gagement was begun.
ANOTHER POINT.
Admiral Robley D. Evans
says: 1t will be remembered
that Schley was severely cen
sured for delay at Cienfuegos,
Cuba, Of thirty.eight hours
on the belief that the Span
ish fleet had entered that
port, when it was actually at
Santiago. According to Ad-
miral Evans the delay was
because Admiral Sampson
had not informed Schley or
the captain of the Brooklyn,
of a code Of signals for COM
municating with the insur-
gents on the shore, and the
possession of which would
have enabled Schley to have
known in an hours time that
the Spanish fleet was not at
Cienfuegos.
AND STILL ANOTHER.
All that Rear Admiral
Schley will say in answer to
the criticism OF the course of !
the Brooklyn during the bat
tie Of Santiago is that she in
flicted fifty.eight per cent of
the damage inflicted by the
American vessels and sustain
ed fifty.two per cent of the
damage inflicted by the Span
ish fleet. |

The heavier work in cennec-
ton with the college farm also
employs a number of men at
present. In fact, nothing is be-
ing neglected from the most
scientific professional work down
to trapping the industrious and
most ofieious enemy of the gar
dener, the gopher. After one
has noted all of these signs of
progress and industry stroll in

prove to one that there is a move

The Hand of Providence.

A most sxeiting runaway is
reported to have occurred a short
time ago in this city. From
what is learned, it appears that
Jacob Blumberg and his ''ene.
horse shay were transaeting
some busiaess along ''junk"
lines in the alley back of the es.
tablishment of John H. Simpson.
Jake became anmindful Of ths
mettle Of his steed and Left him
unEuarded for a moment. Some.
thing very unusual must have
occurred to frighten the eld
charger, for he dashed cut Of the
alley at a pace that made onlook.
ers hold their breath. His old
legs worked like they were
wooden, but he was deine bis at.
most and most likely thoaght he
was setting a pace that weule
have done him credit twenty-five
years ago. When be was fairly
out on the street tho old hsrss es'
pied bunch Of grass near ths
hardware store Of R. M. Wade &
Co. and could 90 no farther. Ii
his runaway the old animal trav'
eled at least $50 feet but luckily
mo- damage resulted. It il
thought by many of our eitizsn'
to be providential that gfas'
grows so promiscuously abou
town, and In the face Of the evil
dence furnished ia this case tn.
task Of convincing people to tn
contrary seems doubly hard. w

Miss Barry's Recital.

No more charming woman has
beeA heard in recital In Corvallis
than Miss Margaret Barry. She
delights mere by her winning
personality than her work as an
artist. Her every movement is
grace personifed; her voice is as
seductive as a lutte, though lack
ing In richness and dramatic
power; her smile as a1luring as a
sirens. Bat if one can forget
this outward charm, and coldly
consider the merits of her per
formance there is much which
makes extravaganza praise ful-
some fattery.
Her nambers from Eugene
Field, Little Boy Blae,n and
,sSeein' Things Phyllis" and
the second selection from Les
Mlserables, shew her to best ad.
vantage, and in these her inter-
pretation is little short of perfect.
To those who have heard Miss
Katheryne Oliver ia "The Lit ID
Minister" Miss Barry's reading
is disappointing. She has neithel
the dialect ner the conception.
Her rendition is pleasing, bu1
not masterful. True, she make.
a fascinating ssBabbie," but thii
is only because Miss Barry her
|self is not less witching than Il.
heroine of The Little Minister.
and she exercises this faculty
in swaying her audience, muel
as aBabbie" does to beguil'
"Gavin.''
Miss Barry Is in nsany respect
a remarkable woman, and Will
lit is too much to say that sh
4 ranks with the greatest reader
of the age, she certainly deserve
many of the kind things tha
have been said of her.

Cenntry Observations.

On Tuesday afternoon, oul
friend, Joseph Yates, loaded hi.
two-horse automobile with
bottles and grub, hitched up his
praneing steed, squared himself
in the seat, drove around to our
place of business and insisted On
the writer making a flying visit
with him to Sodaville. We
rather hesitated, knowing that
he was tongue-tied and fearing
that we would be compelled to
do all the talking, but finally ac-
cepted his gracious offer and we
were soon speeding across the
valley in fine style, arriving at
our destination at 6 P. n.
After anchoring "Billy" and
his mate and laying an ample
supply of clover hay within their
reach, we proceeded to ''eamp
out' in the presence Of that
bountiful supply Of grub.
At the spring were carpenters
and plasterers making some i'm.
provements In and about the
springs, cleaning the reservoir,
eementing the floor, and making
general repairs about the build-
ing, a thing mach needed, and
which they will be able to do
with the $1,000 appropriated by
the last Legislature. It afforded
us great pleasure to note the
prosperous condition of the coun-
try; the immense piles of hay,
now almost all in the cock; and
it is now especially gratifying to
note that instead Of the ordinary
crop Of cheat great fields Of Glow
er and some timothy could be
seea5e thus indicating that cur
farmers are awake to their inter.
ests..
The moving machines and
hayrakes were visible on all sides.
The rich fields of golden yellow
wheat with heads bending as il
beckoning to the husbandman to
make ready for the harvest, and
not bug to be seen-the "bug-
gers" net having made their ap-
pearance this season as predicted.
The oats also promise an abund-
ant yield and an occasional piece
of rye could be seen, one Of which
"FatheT'' Yates insisted had
made a luxuriant growth Of at
least 7 feet in height, In the
pastures were great herds Of
sheep and cattle rolling in fat,
and by the roadside milk cans
were waiting to be transported
to the creameries. The fruit
crop is also wonderful to behold,
and garden truck is abundant.
Then, too, as an evidence of that
deep and lasting prosperity we
noticed numerous barns In course
of Construction. We looked in
wonder and amazement at the
beuntiful harvest now awaiting,
and thought Of the striking con-
trast as compared with the
dreadful conditions now existing
in the East, and came home su-
premely happy. w. P. L.

patch from Lord Kitchener:
PRETORIA, Sunday, January 10.
about fourteen hundred Beers
crossed the line, attacking both Zuur-
fontein and Kaalfontein stations. but
were driven off. They are being pur-
sued by a cavalry brigade"
Lord Kitchener reports also several

ling British losses, and ADDS:
Three agents of the peace commit
tee were taken as prisoners to De-
Vets laager near Lindley, January
10th. One, who was a British subject,
was fossaa AND then shot. The other
two B~urghers, were fiogged by DeWet's

PRETORIA, Sunday January H.
Last night the Beers cut the wires be-
tween Irene and Olifantsfontein sta
tions. Early this morning eight hun
dred Beers, under Commandant Boyer,
Invested Kaalfontein station. A hot
rifle fire and shell fire with two field
pieces and a maxim was maintained
for six hours.
An armored train and reinforce
ments were sent from Pretoria. but be-
fore they had arrived upon the scene
the garrison had driven off the Beers
who retired unmolested with a trans
port train half a mile long. The Beers
blew up the line beyond Ka~alfontein,
compelling the mail train to return
here.
1t is supposed their object was to
obtain supplies, a great quantity of
which is stored at K~aaifontein.
The British had no casualties. q.

PEkIN, Sunday, January 13.-The
joint note of the powers has finally
been signed by the Chinese peace COM
missioners. Prince Ching signed yes
terday and Lii Hung Chang, who is bet
ter, signed it to-day.
1t is understood that the malady
from which Ii Hung Chang is suffer-
ing is Bright's disease. He was feel
ing worse yesterday and therefore
postponed the affixing of his signature;
but Prince Ching was hopeful that he
would be able to sign to-day, which
proved to be the case.
Prince Ching has protested to the
court against the appointment, said to
be contemplated, of Viceroy Chang
Chin Tung as a plenipotentiary in the
place of Ii Hung Chang. He thinks
the latter's advice absolutely essential,
although it believes it might be ad-
visabIe to appoint a third p%lenipoten-
tiary for China, and re%iterates his de-
sire for the appointment of Sheng,
who would be acceptable to the for
eigners.
So far as Chang Chih Tung is con-
cerned, the ENJOYS who know him per-
sCIally say that, while he is strong
ly anti-foreign and has never made
an ysecret of his likes and dislikes,
they believe he would be a satisfactory
report of the Chinese; and there would
not be any objections t him on the
score of his recent utterance5. Indeed
some of the ministers think it would
be wise for China to make Chang Chin
Tung a plenipotentiary.
Most of the ENJOYS have received
word from their governments that the
negotiations must be conducted in Pc
kin, on the ground that for various
reasons other places suggested will be
Objectionable.
The Russians say they will formally
turn over the railroad to the Germans
