GLADIoLA CONTEST.

Members of the Corvallis I'm
provement League are very much
gratifed with the showing made at
the exhibit of gladic1as held at the
public school building in this city
Thursday afternoon. The product
of 20 per cent. of the bulbs given
out to school children was exhibit
ed, and the display showed conclu-
sively that the conditions here are
admirably adapted to the produc-
ton of the gladio1us. Mrs. Crees,
Mrs. Lee and Mrs. Tartar compos-
ed the committee selected to grade
the various specimens and credit
the various exhibitors accordingly.
1t was not the intention to award
prizes at this showing. There are
many stocks which have not yet
approached maturity, and there are
to be two or three exhibits made
in the future to determine the win
ners of prizes. Finally the scores
of each exhibitor will be added,
and the prizes awarded by the to-
tails. Five hundred bulbs were CIV
en- out, and these are to be return
ed to the league. Young bulbs pro-
duced by the old ones are to be re-
tained by the children. The orig
ina1 bulbs are to be sold at small
price and with the proceeds bulbs
or seeds of spring flowers are to be
purchased for distribution on plan
similar to the one now being car
ried out. Lovers of flowers and the
public generally are invited to at
tend these displays. Due notice
will be given as to the date of the
next exhibit,

was: eyes, Bush sits there in his

piling it up dollar on dollar; but

PELRL COOPER PERFORMED.
The departure of the latest Sun
day excursion from the Newport
wharf Sunday night was character
ized by diversion. It was a small
riot IN which Pearl Cooper OF Tnde-
pendence, was a star performer.
There was an awful crowd, almost
all the boat and the accompanying
barge conld accommodate Every
body wanted to be first on board,
and as is usual at such times men
and hoodlums unencumbered with
baggage or women tried to climb on
the boat from several points along
the wharf. The boats crew, among
whom were Harry and Bush Davis,
held such performers back and en-
deavored to have them board the
boat by the gang plank, far the
safer and better way, and one to
which the boat company requires
observance both for the safety of the
public and the protection of itself.
In the rush. one man tried to oc-
cupy a forbidden place. He was
told to move back, but he resisted.
The boatmen laid hold TO put him
off, and he showed fight. On the
wharf above was Pearl Cooper, and
with the rufhan purpose that is his
wont, herushed down the gangway,
climbed aboard and engaged in the
mixup, one by the way, in which
he had neither interest nor concern.
His hand was raised, of course.
against the boats crew, and little
Bush Davis, only boy was the
main object Of his attack. Cooper
weighs over 200 pounds, but the
little boatman showed fight and
protected himsel f from injury as
best he could until the arrival of
his brother Harry and others when
Cooper was unceremonious1y eject
ed from the boat. Cooper is the
person who shot one of the Post
boys in the arm at dance at Sum
nit, and was subsequently tried for
the ofense in the Benton county
circuit court. During the melee on
the boat, which lasted for two or
three minutes and was sharp while
it lasted, there was intense excite
ment on boat and wharf.
The excursion of last Sunday was
one of the heaviest of the season.
In all about 500 people went over.
of whom 96 took the train at Cor
wallis. They went in II coaches.
and on the bay-bound trip there
were ample accommodations. On
the returning trip in the evening
there was far larger number, occa
stoned by the return of many who
had gone over on Saturday and /
other previous days. The train on
the outbound trip consisted of nine
coaches.
The immense traffic between va
quina and Newport, is handled by
the boat company with dispatch and

time for supper, which the salt wa
.er ride prepares him to enjoy.

Last Sunday VIM. Hartley and a
friend strolled out on Mary's river
flat and the former approached a
pony which was staked there. Mr..
Hartley liked the looks of the ami
NAL and began caressing him Il
like the looks of this little fellow
very much, said Mr.. Hartley. "I
should like to buy him. He ap-
pears so kind and gentle" Mr..
Hartley passed his hand down the
pony's hind leg to discover any
blemishes. Like a flash the ami
NAL smote the hand that caressed
him, and wheeled and kicked VIC
ious1y, with both hind feet, sending
Mr.. Hart1ey's hat high in the air.
The gentleman essayed to retaliate
in kind but he was soon compelled to
retreat, the length Of the stake-rope
only saving him from utter annih1-
1ation. Since the encounter Mr..
Hartley has not been able to work
on account of lacerated hand and
probably number of inapparent
injuries which he does not care. to
disclose. Heis endeavoring to find
the owner of the pony. not for the
purpose of buying the animal, but
with the intention of presenting a
claim for damages.

SWAPPING OF MEDICAL REPORTS
Protest Against the Practice Of 1nsur-
ance Companies.

Upon request. life insurance companies
freely Interchange copies Of the medical re-
ports about any given applicant, while the
latter is under the impression that such
data obtained by private examination for
the purpose of obtaining Insurance In this
one particular company at specific period
matter This Is by no. means the case.
What company would be cious enough
to tell applicants that 1t fl Understood that
they assume and exercise tins right Of free
ly disseminating these private and conf
Dental papers? AS 1t Is, the medical ex-
animation is already a sore point to many
applicants, especially women and If there
was the merest hint that their infirmities
were not treated as invfoiable secrets this
would preclude negotiations on the part or
the fnsurab1e public ----------~-'.-'- -------
This ENTHUSIASTICALLY baptized operation of
exchanging "courtesies" does not take place
between the companies as sdch but be-
tween their medical directors, who make
the request for copies of the medical re-
ports in their capacity as colleagues. Is
there any decent medical man in the world.
outside of the life insurance business, who
would comply with a request of that kind?
Is there the slightest question that compN
ance with it would be tantamount to an
unequivocal violation of professional Sc
crecy? Then whence comes the right to
deyiate from the universally established
standard of professional etiquette in favor
of life insurance companies which are busi-
ness institutions like those of any bankers
or merchants? Financial institutions GER
tainly refuse to run Undue risk. and 1t is
no more than proper that life insurance
companies should do the same, but they
have no right in order to attain that end to
deprofessionalize their medical officers.
