A SWORD FOR HIM
Corvallis Sends Money for one for
Captain Clark of the Oregon

"Don't hamper me with orders;
I am not afraid of the whole Span
ish fleet. That is what brave Cap
tain Clark of the batt1eship Oregon
wired the department at Washing
ton, when the bureaucrats attempt
ed to direct him by wire how to
get his ship into Cuban waters.
O'course everybody thought then
that the Oregon's captain was talk
ing to the galleries, but when Clark
threw his vessel into the thick of
the fight at Santiago, events
proved that he was not indeed,
"Afraid of the whole Spanish fleet. :"
They are raising money in Ore
gon now to buy a sword to present
to Captain Clark, whose gallant
service has received but tardy rec
ognition. The sum required is
$1,5 and contributions were
asked of all towns, according to
population. The share of Corvallis
is $40 and Senator Daily and Robert
Johnson were the committee. The
sum has been raised and sent away
and local citizens suggest that there
be engraved on the sword the i'm
mortal words, Don't hamper me
with orders; am not afraid of the
whole Spanish fleet" Why not?

HE COULDN'T PAY IT
Tax Question is Early Presented to a
Corvallis Boy.


Since the dog tags arrived, Chief
Alexander is making things lively
for stray CANNES and their owners.
The enforcement of the law has it's
pathetic aspect, and the collection
of dog taxes is the source of many
a heartache. Just before certain
little Corvallis boy went to the
coast, for his summer outing, the
council ordered collection of the
dog tax. The little chap had dog
and father who had said he
would not pay the tax. During
the boys stay at the coast he pract-
iced such rigid economy with his
spending money that, as hethought
he had sufficient funds to pay the
tax on his return home, when ac-
cordingly,, he proudly rendered the
tax-col1ector one dollar. The
pathos of this incident becomes
quite apparent when we have learn
ed that the tax On this particular
boys dog was three dollars instead
of one dollar The little fellow
went home in tears. He has since
made heroic efforts to keep his dog
tied up, but without such success
as to prevent the authorities from
giving him warning that if the dog
is again seen on the streets, the law
will be allowed to take its course.

RALEIGH MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.
What the Southern Medical Journal, of La
Grange. Thinks Of the Proposition

The Southern Medical Journal, of La
Grange, has the following to say of the
proposed Medical Department of the
State University, to be located at Raj
eigh
mot many States in the Union are
without their legally chartered and well
equipped medical schools for the train
ing of their own sons in the profession.
North Carolina, however, does not De-
long to the class that possesses first
class medical schools. Why it is we do
rot know 1t should have one that VIII
equal any of this period not only IN di-
dactic but clinical instruction, SO that
when one of her sons desires to perfect
himself in medicine he will not have 10
look elsewhere for a suitable school
which shall become his alma mater.
The action Of the trustees of the State
University for the establishment of a
medical department to be located in
Raleigh is timely. The University now
gives q two year course in medicine
which euals any of the best medical
schools in the country and, as we un-
derstand it, this department will be con-
tinued With the course extended Two
years more, which will be given III
Raleigh, making four years course,
leading to graduation. Raleigh is the
best place in the State for medical
school, and being city of 10000 people,
which equals any of the best medical
for thorough instruction. 1t has sew
eral well equipped and modern hospitals
under good management, and we believe
ii to be wise selection of the trustees,
With the establishment of this depart
ment, giving the first two years al
Chapel Hill and the last two at Raleigh.
we will have as good medical schools as
there is, and those who begin their
studies at Chapel Hill can finish them
without leaving the State. as has form
erly been the case"

hardening copper, which is known to
have been possessed by some of the
mound builders, is not strictly true.
This inventor was subsequently, par
doned and has since been working q
his invention in Des Moines.
A letter has been received in this
city by John Slocum General Pres
ident of the International Brother
hood OF Blacksmiths, from the inven-
tor, who at the same time sent him a
specimen OF welded pure copper.
The writer says: Il do not temper
pure copper, nor do | shape it before |
harden it. | take any pure copper and
fuse it, and add the treatment that i'm
parts the peculiar hardness that will
take keen edge, that fills every re-
quirement for surgical instruments,
knives of all kinds, etc. But it is not
hard enough for iron and stone tools,
but it is for woodworking tools.
''After I have given it my treatment
it i too hard to forge cold, and it will
not forge hot; therefore all tools OF
whatever kind must be cast to desired
form. then polished and edged.
THE meal can be cast to the most
delicate and intricate design, giving
sharpe, smooth, homogeneous casting,
and can be recast as often as may be,
losing none OF its peculiar qualities.
BY actual microscopic measurement it
has shown a perfectly smooth edge,
finer than the I-40. .000th of an inch.

elements, two of which analysis will
not diyulge."
