CALDWELL DIES
 FROM INJURIES.

Virgil Caldwell of Bradford, who was literally cut to pieces Saturday night in a drunken brawI in the red-light district north of the Iron Mountain track by one Will Galloway, who runs on the steamer Harry Waltz, died Sunday from the wounds received.
 Galloway rests in jail, having made no attempt to escape and was arrested on the boat appa- rently unmoved by any sense of feeling in having killed a man. He was drunk when the act was committed and his victim, too, is reported to have been under the influence of liquor.
 c. T. Bateman of Oil Trough returned Tuesday from Bald Knob, where he was called by the serious illness of his son, William, whom he left rational, however, and much improved.

ly Ton, and IS Hands High.

u
q Oregon has large share of the
glory of raising the best horses
produced in America. From this
state has gone out many great run
ming animals; many great trotters
and PAGERS, many fine carriage and
other driving horses. Oregon has
been a great producer of splendid
general purpose horses, and is a
rich field for buyers of draft horses.
It is believed that she can claim the
largest two-year-old colt on earth.
This colt isa Benton county product
and is the property of Sol King.
Monday Mr.. King brought the hlly
to town and had her weighed, and
FIVE days after she was two years
old she tipped the beam at I.74o.
The animal is 18 hands high and is
beautifully formed. She is now
perfectly proportioned. The sire OF
this remarkable animal is Can
mock Oak, and the sire of the colt $
dam was Bobby Burns The hHy
embodies three -strains of the large
breeds. There seems to be no doubt
that in time the animal will weigh
$500 pounds if not more. Mr.. King
offers $500 for colt that will near
ly match his.

IN SOUTHERN CHURCH.
By Southern Pastor Many Were
There-The Memorial Sermon.

The annual memorial sermon was
delivered before the Grand Army
veterans in the M. E. Church south
last Sunday morning. 1t was plea
for good citizenship and an uni
ted country. The text was "Estab-
|lish thou the work of mine hands"
The speaker was Rev. John Reeves
and the auditors were GA. R. vet
Grams, members of the Relief Corps
members of the church congrega-
ton, and many citizens. The au-
ditorium was filled with people. 1t
was decorated elaborately with fes-
tosned and unfur1ed flags.
The occasion is perhaps one of
the first in which memorial ser
mon, Northern institution
has been delivered in a church
once known as southern church
and by Southern preacher. This
fact was acknowledged and applau-
ded by the speaker. He declared
that he felt honored and that his
church felt honored by the invita-
ton for him to make the address in
his own church. He added that
the Post, in laying aside prejudices
and extending the invitation had
set an example of breadth of view
that was equally or even more hon
orable to themselves and their or
ganization.
The minister declared that in the
removal of slavery, the war, costly
as it was, has brought beneficent
results. For these he lauded the
work of the veterans, and urged
them and others to bend their re-
served energies now in the solution
of great moral questions, that are
up on the land.
The sermon has been the subject
of much favorable comment. The
whole incident is pretty i1lustra-
ton of the new and irrevocable re-
union of the Blue and the Gray.

THE CALIFORNIAN WON.
But an Oregon Boy was Close Second
Friday Nights Contest.

=
The red nose shall not illuminate
the politicians complexion. The
ornament is too costly. One hum
dred forty seven college associations
in America have said so; and
among the list is the student prohi-
bition movement at OAC. They're
for fresh air and against all impure
drinks.
In this movement, Oregon Cal
ifornia and Washington were fairly
represented in the Conference at
chapel last Friday afternoon. The
exercises were under the direction
of Virgil E. Henshaw, travelling
secretary of the national intercolle-
giate prohibition association, who
was ably assisted by Miss Mary
Sutherland, state secretary of the
intercollegiate movement of Oregon.
During the afternoon addresses
were made by President limerick,
of Philomath College; Rev. Phelps.
of Portland; student Millican, ofthe
University of Washington who is
we'll knownin football circles; andby
Chester P. Gates, of Dallas College.
The tend of the argument set forth
was that men should be educated
to abstain from all things injurious;
and that educated men should lead
in this effort. There was nothing
of the hair Drained order, which
advocates hatchets, broomsticks,
crusades and other Irregularities;
but throughout, the discussions
appealed to the higher and nobler
instincts. -.
At 8 o'clock in the evening,
about 500 seats were taken in the
Armory, where the musical pro-
gram was furnished by Miss Edith
Gibson, with an instrumental, and
by Otto Herse and Miss Mabel
Cronise with delightful solos.
There were five contestants and two
cash prizes The first of which was
SIS, and the second $25. w. Cliff
ford Smith, of Berkeley, took first
prize; and Dan A. Polling, of Dallas
took second with J. w. Lough of
of the University of Washington,
as close contestant for second hon
ors. Aubrey Kramien, of Newberg,
was fourth in the race; and G. m.
Bowman. of Whitworth college.
was strong fifth man. Smith was
the most mature and finished spea-
ker. Polling the most earnest and
impassioned, while Lough the most
pleasing and persuasive.
This is the first interesting con-
test. of any character held at the
OAC, and its high character will
appeal to young men and women in
the college to aspire to oratorical
excellence. While financially the
undertaking was very successful;
in an intellectual and esthetic way,
the influence of the first 1ntercolle-
giate meet at the OAC will long be
felt in college circles, where strictly
hygienic living is the motto of many
a student who is destined to i'm
prove the farm the workshop and
the home.

SELLING FARMS.
A Twelve Thousand Dollar Transfer
Other Places Sold.

Things have been lively in the
real estate market during the past
few days. Monday papers were
made out, consummating the sale of
the Prickett sawmill for 81, 200. The
sale was made to Jackson White
and E.. L. Moore by Henry Amb-
ler. The sale of their holdings by
Richard Mays, Mrs Long and O.
Martin, who reside several miles
north of Corvallis is also reported,
though as yet no deeds have been
fled. The three places were pur-
chased by the same, person, who is
a new arrival from the East. Mar
tin is to go to Southern Oregon to
reside.
The biggest of all the sales is
that in which the big farm of Sam
H. Moore on Soap Creek IS to pass
to new owner. The bargain
has been made, but the papers have
not yet changed hands, The cor
rection of an error in the line oi
transfers is an essential to final con-
sumation of the deal. The buyer is
H. A. Ball of Portland, and the
price paid is to be $I2, 900 inclu-
ding growing crop and all livestock.
Another deal is the sale of the
Cressy tract of 80 acres, which was
originally a part of the Horning
place. The buyer is Mr.. Swere,
lately arrived from California. The
purchase price is $4,000. Mrs.
Cressy arrived yesterday from Mon
mouth to make out the papers. The
deal was negotiated by James Lew
is. The new owner is to build q
new house and other improvements
on the property. and is to have
possession as soon as the crop is
taken off.

NAuGHr sPAKE HE.


The president has comeand gone.
Long before he reached Oregon 1t
was promised that he would, while
In the state, call upon republican
voters 10 support Mr.. Hermann
Tor congress. That immense pressure
WAS brought on him by the party
managers to make such an express
sion, is well known. But he came
and went without uttering one
word in defense or Endorsement OF
r. Hermann's candidacy.
1t was impossible for the pres
ident to indorse Mr.. Hermann.
1t was the president who demand
ed of the Oregon delegation the
resignation of Mr.. Hermann on the
occasion of their visit to him at the
White House before the spring
elections last year. They pleaded
with him to allow Mr.. Hermann
to remain in his Office as commits
sioner until after the Oregon ell
ections; and it was Mr.. Roosevelt
that finally consented to allow Mr..
Hermann to remain in his position
until July Isl of that year.
After an examination OF the
timber land operations in Oregon,
Special Commissioner Green made
a report to Secretary Hitchcock,
and it was because of the inform
alton contained in this report that
the president insisted most vehem-
entity on Mr.. Hermann's resigna-
tion. The substance Of that re-
port was of such character as to
make it impossible for the presi-
dent while in Oregon to ask re-
publicans to support Mr.. Hermann.
The very fact that Mr.. Hermann
though repeatedly urged and chal-
lenged to do so, has not con-
sented to have this report
made public, proves that the in
formation it sets out is of damaging
character. If it were not, its con-
tents would have been given to the
newspapers long ago, The fact
sfnat this report does not appear
tells the story certainly and signi-
fcant1y of why the president did
not, as he passed through Oregon,
speak even one little word in be-
half of Mr.. Hermann. He did not
do it, because he could not. He is
the man who required the dismis-
sal of Mr.. Hermann, and any plea
for the latters return would have
been direct condemnation of Sec
retary Hitchcock, and slap at his
own administration. If there were
a way to ascertain the innermost
desire of the president, it would
probably be found that he hopes
earnestly that Mr.. Hermann may
be defeated. Ifthis be not true,
why did he not come out boldly
.sshd request Hermann's reelection?
