ARE COMING TUESDAY.
Party Nnmbering Forty-Five German As-
cuiturisfs viii Visit Oregon AgricnI-
furs1 College.

Preparation for the entertain
ment of the party of German ag-
riculturists who will be in this
state next week, have been in
the hands of General Passenger
Agents w. E. Conan and A. L
Craig, though the citizens of the
various towns which will be Wis
tied have had a great deal to do
with the detail work.
The party, which numbers As,
will reach Oregon next Monday.
The run from Medford to Al
bany is to be made during the
night, and the visiting agricul-
turists will reach the metropolis
of the Valley at 8 o'clock, Tues
day morning. Only half hour
is to be spent at Albany, and but
little opportunity will be given
to study farming methods at that
point. A run. to the Corvallis
Agricultural College will be
taken, and from 9 a. m. to D.
m. the party will be shown
through the station.
Railroad men regard the visit
of the party as one of the most
important expeditions that has
ever come to Oregon. The
showing made Of this states re-
sources will be as complete as the
time will permit, and it is ex-
pected WREN the party returns to
Germany it will carry a good
impression of this state.
While there has never been
any authorized statement to this
effect, it is generally believed the
tour has the sanction of the Ger
man government and that a re-
port on American farming meth
DDS will be made to German Off
cials. In this report it is believ-
ed the State of Oregon will fig
ure. Railroad men hold that
California is widely known on
the European Continent, while
Oregon has not been put forward.
If the German party is impress
ed by the resources Of this state
and the farming methods en-
ployed here, it is believed the re-
port will show the fact.
The value of such a showing
is explained by the fact that
whatever reports are made will
fall into the hands of agricu1tur-
lists who are inclined to follow
advanced methods. If any of
these people are induced to come
to this state, they would be of
the most enterprisiug class and
add materially to the develop
ment of the state.

CORVALLIS, OREGON,
May 90, 1909.

CORVALLIS, OREGON,
May 2o, 1903.
Mr.. w. S. MCFADDEN,
SIR:-In boiling from the
broadside of facts fired at you by
"X" from the columns of the
GAZETTE, of the 22nd inst, you
ran amuck of several citizens,
myself among the number. To
be sure, your purpose was to lose
yourself in the crowd, but your
'identity" is still discernable.
Taking you at your word, that
"Life is too short to either cringe
or dodge when insects blurt and
buzz away their brief existence, "
there is evidence that x must
have dealt you some serious
blows, you vince so perceptably.
l would not add to your discom-
torture, but you present such an
amusing spectacle in the roll of
"Injured Innocence" that I can
not resist a few comments.
You have gone cut of your
way to call attention to the fact
that l was present at meeting
held in the Office of E. R. Bry-
sou, the Sunday preceding the
recent city election, and to imply
that the dest;nies of the city were
thereby endangered. In naming
those present you state that be-
sides E. R. Bryson, B. w. John
son aud myself, "two others" were
there. Why 1.-TWO others?"
They were B. E. Irvine, editor of
the Times, and Robt. Johnson.
So far as l know there was moth
ing sinister about the meeting.
My presence is easily explained,
for, like yourself, 81 was called
by phone" !" E. P. Greffoz, act
ing in his official capacity, had
brought the tickets for the city
election to the GAZETTE Office to
have them printed. This ticket
contained the names Of all per-
sons who were seeking Office in
the city election. 1t was the
only ticket in the field May 18th,
and the names of your candidates
were upon it. I was called by
phone and asked to bring one of
these printed tickets TO Mr.. Bry-
sons Office. I did so. So there's
your insinuation stripped to
bedrock.
I enjoyed the meeting, how
ever. I thought your explana-
ton of how you chad acted as
wet nurse for the saloons of this
city for years." was in your best
vein; and the indignation you
displayed when you spoke of the
ingratitude of the proprietors of
these places, was splendid.
Then, too, your argument that
your candidate for councilman
in the third ward was more
literally inclined toward the sa-
looms than you were; that he is
in favor of letting matters, re-
garding the saloons OF Corvallis,
run along as they are at present,
was convincing.
In conclusion, I cannot sub
scribe to your contention that
there are but two honest men in
Corvallis, and one of these grows
old.
Respectfully,
! Gro r. PAuI..

The Rural Telephone.
Neighbors not so far from here
Pus In telephones last year.

Nelghbors not so far from here
Pus In telephones last year.
Farmers built rural line,
Instruments all talked up" fine,
All you had to do was ring
Every bell went ting-a-ling;
One for Swanson, two for Boggs,
Long and short call f. r old Scrogs.
Every neighbor had his call,
Twist the crank and that was all.
Mighty nice when work was through,
To gossip for an hour or two
With your neighbors one by one;
Mighty nice-but lots of fun
When you heard some other two
Telling what was not for you.
Every time the signal rang,
TO the phone each farmer sprang,
Slyly grinned, and softly took
Each receiver from its hook.
Other peoples secrets dear
Poured into his large red ear;
How he slapped his legs, II swum,
Telephonin's lots of fun"
Somehow in a week or two
Troubles dark began to brew;
Farmer Jones got fighting hot,
Heard Scrogs calling him sot
Farmer Scrogs seemed angry too;
Heard Smith telling what he knew,)
Smith heard Johnson telling lies,
Paid him off with two black eyes.
Johnson heard young Isaac Boggs
Underbid him on his hogs;
Boggs o'erheard sneaking churl
Making love to his best girl.
Women, too. were in the muss,
Raised most tremendous fuss.
Every one from Scrogs to Jones,
In glass houses throwing stones.
Now the line has silent grown,
Wires rusted, poles o'erthrown;
Twenty friends are deadly foes,
Each one full of griefs and woes,
Each too mad to speak word,
Cause OF things they'd overheard.

Origin Of aRudCet ~

1t Is difficult to realize that the term
"budget," now so often in every ones
mouth, is q term less than 200 years
old, the earliest mention of the word
dating no further back than 1873. We
borrowed it from the old French Ian
guage-bougette, meaning a small bag,
in which in former times it was the
custom to put the estimates of receipts
and expenditures when presented to
parliament; hence the chancellor of the
exchequer, in making his annual state
ment, was formerly said to open his
budget In time the term passed from
the receptacle to the contents, and,
curiously, this new signification was
returned from this country to France,
where 1t was first used in an official
manner in the early part of the nine
teenth century.-London Chronicle.

Arab Dancing Girls.

An English traveller thus describes
the Arab dancing girls he saw at a
fair ut Biskra, in the Sahara: Here,
surrounded by rope. on raised deal
benches, sit the dancing girls. Beneath
them is deal table covered with
strange sweetmeats and sirups. Oppo-
site to them is bench, upon which,
after small payment you may install
yourself and admire Fora, Fatima, Al
chouch or Algia at your ease. They
are worth seeing in their gala attire.
Indeed, they look like troupe of mag

tufts of tinted ostrich feathers. Upon
their painted fingers are heavy bar
barrie rings. Upon their arms are
massive gold and silver bracelets Wells
of gold and silver tissue float around
them, half concealing their robes of
pink, yellow, magenta, scarlet and
bright green silk. One wears a broad
band of diamonds across her broad
forehead Another has sewed her ear
rings upon strips of velvet and is lit
orally clad in gold coins, which make
the eyes OF the Arabs glitter greedily.

The Name Moses.

II Is curious fact, unknown per-
hapS TO majority of readers, that
Moses of Scriptural fame was called
by eight different names in various
places in the Bible. Bathia, the daugh-
ter of Pharaoh, called him Moses be
cause she drew him out of the water.
Jochebed, his mother, called him Jeku-
thiel, saying, II had hoped for him. "
Miriam, his sister called him Jared
because she had descended after him
into the water to see what his end
would be. Aaron called his brother
Abb Zanuch because his father had de-
serted their mother. Amram, the fa-
ther of Moses, called the boy Chabar
because he was again reunited TO the
mother of the lad.
Kehath, the grandfather of Moses,
called him Abigdor because God had
repaired the breach in the house of
Jacob. The nurse of the grandfather
of Moses called him Abb Socho because
he was once hidden three months in
the Tabernacle. All Israel called him
Shemaiah because lin his days God
heard their cries and rescued them
from their oppressors."

The onest For a Place to Eat.

He was hungry. Before he finished
his mornings work he consulted his
watch with a frequency born of gas
tronomic longing. The perfume Of
Hamburger steak waited through the
office window from an adjacent Ger
man restaurant convinced him that he
would not hunt long for place to get
luncheon Once out of the office, how
ever, the old indecision returned. The
Teutonic repast did not seem half so
attractive as it had twenty minutes be-
fore.
He went on up Nassau street Res
taurants to the right of him, restau-
rants to the left of him; signs in big
letters told of the joys of living. He
passed them by. Cafes, three to a
block, told him where he could dine
like q prince on anything from roast
beef to canvasback duck.
What did he do? He rushed into a
dairy lunch room.

of coffeew he cried to the waiter. ut

get something you want to eat."-New

Gallant Victor ILuzO.

During the latter years of his long
life Victor Hugo was very fond of sur
seying mankind from the vantage
ground of the top of an omnibus. He
used to make long excursions through
the gay city perched on the top of the
homely bus, which he seemed to pre-
fer to any other vehicle. An amusing
and characteristic anecdote of the
great poet, who was most courteous
and attentive TO the lovely sex, is re-
lated by review. One fine day. rs he
was enjoying Il ride under these condi-
tions, fascinating young woman
climbed up to the summit of the tram
car on which he was seated and steered
her way toward the only vacant place,
which happened to be the one next to
him. She was about to take possession
of it when q sudden Jolt sent her in
stead into Victor Hugo's lap. AS soon
rs she had recovered herself the pretty
girl turned 10 the poet and, her fair
cheeks suffused with crimson. said. Il
beg your pardon, monsieur" And L."
he replied gallantly, thank you, made
moiselle."
