this water route and boundless posi-
bilities confront our people. but the
coastwise along our entire
border would seek this safe and pro-
tected route and thereby avoid the dan
gers Of our coast. South of Beaufort
Inlet coastwise navigation is practically
without hazard.
Can we succeed in inducing Congress
to recognize this project and provide
appropriations for its construction? That
depends upon several important condi
tions. The first are unity ard enthusiast
TIC support among our own people; the
next condition is to continue to present
1t persistently to the commercial interest
Of the country at large. This waterway
would give US an inland route Of suf-
flclent depth and capacity for our coast
wise shipping as far north as Baltimore.
The commerce Of Philadelphia and New
York are interested in making free and
capacious waterways connecting Chesa-
peake Bay with Delaware river and
Delaware river with the Raritan river,
either by the construction Of new canals
or by the purchase or the enlargement
OF existing routes. Boston is clamoring
Tor a canal across the narrow promon-
tory of Cape Cod and these interests
united will be inyincible and success will
follow.
You must not charge me with egotism
or undue personal pride in urging this
great project upon your attention. 1t is
not an original proposition. Washing
ton, himself, with engineering skill and
prophetic vision, advocated the construc-
ton of Dismal Swamp Canal. Marshall
Parks wrote and dreamed Of this great

ton. The entire State delegation, both
in the House and Senate. are united.
Hold UP their hands and let us show to
the world that we know what we want
and that we expect to knock at the
doors Of Congress until sectional dis
elimination shall be obliterated and sue
cess shall be ours.
Gentlemen, if you expected an elabo-
rate historical review of this great sound
section, you have been disappointed. /

the pleasure and honor of producing an
historical essay which shall be more
credItable and certainly more complete.

The last address at the morning scs-
sion was that of Justice Walter Clark.
He was presented by the Rev. Chas. K.
Taylor, OF WaucheSc, in a most fitting
manner. He referred to the historic i'm
port Of this gathering and held that
Justice Clark had ingratiated himself to
this people for his untiring efforts in
e~ndcavor. When he named Mr..
Clark there went up a shout of applause
was not equalled in the conference
save when this much traduced, g%loriously
and much loved man arose to
his address, which is as follows:

SAW THE ECLIPSE
All Conditions Favorable and There
We're Many Observers.

Ali Corvallis was out to see the
eclipse of the moon Thursday
night. The event transpired on
schedule time as laid down by the
astronomers, and was a bowling
success. The eclipse began to show
itself on the east edge of the moon,
and slowly advanced until it be-
came total. Then it passed slowly
off, exhibiting many interesting
phenomena. When the totality
was passing off, one enthusiastic
female observer declared that the
moon looked then like it had big
black log across it. After the
eclipse another observer said the
moon looked like it had blood On it
In fact a very red hue was notice
able, due to refraction of rays of
light in the earth's atmosphere,
enabling the moon to be seen be-
fore it had really passed out of the
shadow. Every condition was
highly favorable for observing the
phenomenon, and many old in
habitants declare the eclipse to have
been the nearest up-to-date of any
thing they have ever seen. One
young woman said it was lovely,
and Just as good an eclipse as we
fused to have back in Bosting."
AS everybody knows, the moons
eclipse is caused by the moon pas
sing through the shadow of the
earth, always thrown out through
space on the opposite side from the
sun. On account Of the immensely
larger size of the sun than the
earth, this shadow becomes smaller
as the distance from the earth is
increased. 1t is in fact perfect
cone in shape. Immediately at the
earth, it is 5000 miles in diameter
Two hundred and forty thousand
miles away, or at the moon, it is
something like 1900 miles in diam
eter. AS the moon is something
like ?, 900 miles iu diameter, the
earths shadow at the point where
the moon passes through it is about
twice the moons diameter. AS
4, 900 miles of earth's shadow
swept itself past the 1000 miles of
moons diameter, making 5000
miles covered during the brief con-
tinuance of the eclipse, some idea
is gained of the tremendous veloc
ity at which are old earth and its pu-
ny inhabitants are rushing through
space. No wonder Our express
trains and our young men are
learning to be swift.

Portland, Ore, Oct. IS, 1902. =
Hon. J. K. Weatherford,
President Board of Regents,
Corvallis:
extend congratulations over
the complrtion of Agricultural Hall
at the Agricultural College, and
deeply regret that official business
prevents me from filling the part
assigned on the days programme.
GEORGE E. CHAMBERLAIN."
It was after four o'clock when
the exercises in the Armory
were concluded. After the dedi-
catory address, came an address by
State Lecturer Buxton of the
Grange, another by Congressman
Tongue, and speech by H B
Miller. Congressman-e1ectW William
son wasa1so to have been a speaker
but the programme turned out to
be so long, that not only was the
1atter's address eliminated, but Mr.
Mi11er's was cut to the brevity of
a five minutes talk. The addresses
were all of high character, and each
pronounced in its praise of the col
1ege and its work.
Before their departure, a large
number of the visitors took a look
at football as exemp1ifed by o A c.
men. The play was on the field,
within few yards of the Armory.
Farmers, senators, university presi-
dents and others hocked thither as
soon as the game was announced
They filled the new grand stand to
overhowing, and as the play went
on they became heated with inter-
est and enthusiasm. The noise
that came from the grand stand
was as real and as characteristic as
though the place were filled with
excited college students instead of
staid old citizens. The game only
lasted until the first team made a
touchdown, when the players were
called from the field. Then the
visitors diverted and pleased with
the varied events of the afternoon
hurried from the grounds to the
railroad stations, and all of them
earnest in commentator of what
they had seen and heard.
No past event in the history of
the college has been SO calculated
to quicken the pulse and give i'm
petus to the advancement of OAC
as will the few hours of simple
ceremony out On the hill, Wednes-
day afternoon.

Found Escaped Prisoner Near Corval.
is-Sheriff of Polk.
Sheriff Ford of Polk county, and
a deputy, were in town Thursday
morning looking for an escaped
prisoner named Marshland. The
latter walked out of the Dallas Jail
when the sheriff went to feed the
prisoners Saturday evening. Marsh
land was allowed the privilege of
the corridor. While the sheriff
looked after other prisoners, he
sneaked out the back way, stole
down stairs and gained his liberty.
While in Corvallis, Sheriff Ford
received information that his
man had been seen the evening be-
fore between Suver and Wells, and
that he was making his way to-
wards Corvallis. The sheriff left
for the scene early Thursday morn
ing. A dispatch in yesterdays
Oregonian relates that Marshland
while walking On the railroad track
near Corvallis, was captured by
the sheriff and his deputy, and
taken back to jail.

TAKING TIMBER
Crowd of Portlanders Went to Alsea-
Thirty Two in the Party.

Another big crowd of timber
seekers was in Corvallis Wednes-
day They arrived on the west
side, and at once set about hunting
vehicles to take them to A1sea.
They were unable to secure enough
conveyances in Corvallis, and two
or three rigs were secured in AL
bany. The party numbered 81,
and hailed from Portland. A con-
siderable percentage of them are
women. They left the same after
noon for A1sea. and at last account
had not yet returned. Their trip
in the heavy rains that have pre-
vailed since they started, has not
been strewn with sunbeams and
beds of roses.
