Sword F0und.

While rummaging about in
the garret of the ice factory,
last Sunday, D. G. Rose, of this
city discovered a sword. 1t was
quite badly rusted, but the in
scription On it furnished a clue
to the owner. At present it is
the property of Mrs. M. A.
Hemphill, of this city.
The sword was presented to a
brother of Mrs. Hemphill, Lieut..
G. F. Denniek, in Pennsylvania,
at the close of the civil war.
He is now deceased and Mrs.
Hemphill is very proud of his
sword and was much grieved
when it was stolen from her
some twelve years ago.. One
hundred dollars would gladly
have been given for its return.
When found all of the gold-braid
furnishings were missing. The
suppesition is that some boy took
it and fearing discovery secreted it
in the garret of the ice factory.

Because every advanced method of the
mechanical art is employed in building
the Rambler wheels. All the elements
of beauty, strength, originality and high
quality are blended in the eight Rambler
models offered this season. The RAM
bier bicycle has always been the easiest
running wheel on the market, and in the
twenty-three years of its manufacture it
is recognized to be as strong as any wheel
made.
The sculptor's reputation is not made
by the first work of his chisel. The best
in everything is the result of Imaking the
good better, and in keeping everlastingly
at it. The Rambler is equipped with the
famous G. & J. tires; the handiest and
most durable tire made.
This wheel is on sale at J. K. Berry's

Winner in Doubt.

The question OF who is the
winner of the intercollegiate or
atorieal contest held at Salem,
Friday evening is still in doubt.
This condition of affairs occurs
with aggravating regularity. At
the close of the contest the sum-
nation of ranks showed that w.
c. Hale, of P. u, and Chas.
Sternberg, of Albany College,
had tied for first place with 16
points each, while Herman Tar
tar, of o. A. G. was given second
place with TN points. To de-
eide the tie the average of the
gradings On composition and de-
livery was taken and Hale was
found to have received 542 points
and Sternberg 535H. Tartar's
grade was also 535H.
The finding of the judges were
reaveraged Saturday and it was
discovered that a mistake had
been made and Albany College
was first by one point. Upon
discovering the error, President
Swaford called a meeting of the
executive committee to be held
in Salem today, when the matter
will receive official cons Iteration.
Tartar was awarded first place in
delivery, receiving 272 points to
Hale's 26s and Sternberg's $50.
In composition, however, he was
given but a634 points, while
Hale's grade was 273 and Stern
berg's 275H. All three judges
on delivery gave Tarter first
place; one of the judges OH COM
position gave him third place,
and the other two placed him
sixth.
About 90 students and men,
bers of the faculty from o. A. G.
left on Friday mornings boat to
attend the contest. About 50
returned after the contest, while
the remainder stayed for the
banquet and came home On Sat
urday nights boat.

What Oregon Needs.

In letter to the GAZETTE, dated at

Nicholas writes the following:
While I am making a little trip
through the East for business and pleas
ure, 1 cannot help looking out for the
West, especially old Benton, and 1 find
that the greatest need is advertising. The
people in the middle West have some
idea of Oregon, hut the people in the far
East have not the slightest-a few Of
tkem have heard of such place. A par
ticular incident that caused me to write
was the finding of a small piece of Ben
ton county literature in the hands of a
s'down East" Yankee, who was delighted
with the same, and will start West next
year, and declares he won't stop until he
reaches Benton. This is the only thing
l have found from Oregon in all my long

The Foot-Hi11 Baldwin

In an article entitled "Best
Commercial Apple" recently
read before the third annual con-
vention of Oregon Fruit Crow
ers, by George Armstrong. who
has an apple orchard of 1900
fruit trees about five miles north
of Corvallis. He says:
Looking at the ordinary apple
for sale in most of the grocery
stores the best Of these seem to
be mostly Baldwins. These
facts Cooking at them from a
sort of Darwinian survival of the
dttest theory seem to point to
the Baldwin as being one of the
best apples to grow in the Will
lamette valley foothills. I
know that the Baldwin has some
defects ..and that it is liable to
speek in some soils and seasons:
but have an idea borne out
somewhat by observation that it
is a harder and better-keeping
apple in the foothills than in
the valley. I am also inclined
to think that it has not been so
scientifically grown and packed
as Newtons and Spitzenbergs
and, therefore, has not been so
much esteemed by Eastern
connoisseurs.

T he May Festival.

At the Tuesday evening meet
ing of the Festival Chorus up
| wards of 100 singers put in an
appearance. It had been intend
ed to use the City Hall, offered
for the purpose by the kind
courtesy of the Council and the
Firemen. This building was
more accessible to a majority OF
the singers than the College
Chapel, and therefore more de-
sirab1e. But the lonly light
comes from the one group of six
small lights in the center of the
room. That is still further OBJ
scuIed by the green wreaths
hanging from it. So that it
proved impossible to hold the
practice there, and an adjourn
ment was made to the College
Chapel, where future practices
will be held until farther notice.
The chorus work shows mark
ed Improvement with each meet
ing. Last Tuesday the singers
had gained in courage and the
volume of sound and fullness of
tone far surpassed anything yet
heard. Nearly all of the Messi.
ali choruses have now been at
tackled. Next Tuesday will
finish this going over. Mr..
Nash expressed himself as we'll
satisfied with the progress made
and confident that by the Festi-
val time in May the Corvallis
contingent will do credit to their
city. Gratifying enthusiasm is
shown, and willing perseverance
in the frequent repetitions order
ed of the difficult passages.
The Finance Committee of the
Festival have held several meet
ings and have fully discussed
and agreed on the measures to
De taken 10 raise tne necessary
funds.
A canvass has been undertaken
beginning with the college, and
SO far, the results Indicate that
Corvallis will nebly respond to
the call, first by pledging the
taking of tickets, and second by
joining in a guarantee of defci-
ency IN the unlikely event of the
sale of tickets in May falling
short of the estimated sum.
Liberal provision is being made
in arranging for the best Festi-
val yet held, both in numbers
and in quality of performers. A
grand success is in sight, and
very one must do his part.
