Norris & Rowe's trained animal
show gave two performances in Cor
Wallis, Saturday, and, despite the
threatening appearance of the
weather, attracted many people from
the country. Everything was shown
as advertised, and a really meri-

markable feats were performed by
dogs, ponies, seals, monkeys and
elephants, and the troupe of Jap
anese tumblers and jugglers was ex.
ceptionally clever.

Promoting New Railroad.

The following dispatch to the
Portland Journal from Junction
City, under date of May 14th, is
of local interest:
Much interest is being mani
tested here over. the proposed
railroad matters as promulgated
by promoter H. S. Wallace, for
merly of Junction City. Some
years ago similar PROPOSE
ton coupled with colonization
scheme was placed before the
people by Mr.. Wallace, but it
failed to reach the promised goal.
Yesterday a number of promi-
nent capitalists of the upper Will
lamette Valley met here to dis
cuss pertinent questions pertain
ing to the future methods to be
pursued in the formation of plans
for the construction of a railway
line, but not one of these would
unburden his soul to a newspaper
man. 'sWait and see," is their
only remark, when approached
on the subject and very little in
formation is to be obtained.
A meeting is to be held in
Eugene today to further the in
terest of the company.
The supposition here is that a
proposition is on foot to build
line from Eugene to Corvallis
and possibly on to Portland with
probably branch on west from
Eugene to Siuslaw Bay, tapping
in its seaward course, a belt of
the finest timber in Oregon.
It is said that the best efforts of.
a number of Lane and Benton
county's shrewdest capitalists,
together with a few from Port
land, have been put forth during
the past few years to make the
plans a go, but just how near
maturity these plans are, is only
known to a favored few.

ORANGE DEfEATS PACIFIC.
The University Lads Lose to the Farmers
by q Score Of 46 to SO.


Although the farmers defeated
the Pacific University lads by a
score of 80 to 46 in the field meet
on Agricultural field last Friday
afternoon, no one who witnessed
the contest will say the victory
was easily won. A difference OF
a few inches in number of the
events would have given the
points to the visitors. In the
Ioo-yard dash, Williams, Peter
son and Moores, could have been
covered with an umbrella at
the finish, and Williams and Pc
terson were almost abreast when
they reached the tape in the 22o
sprint.
Considering the weather and
the condition of the track, some
of the performances were remark
able. Although cold drizzling
rain was falling, the 100 yards was
run in 10 3-5 seconds; the 22o, in
20 IS Sec, tieing the Pacific
Northwest record; the 40 Ia
50 3-5 secs; and the hurdles in
excellent time. Swan vau1ted
10 feet, but sprained his wrist
and hadto withdraw, losing Gil
bert, who cleared the bar at &c
feet, I inch. Jackson put the
shot SO feet, q inches with ease
and is undoubtedly the best man

this city and Mr.. Hinshaw, travel
Jig secretary of the National Inter
collegiate Prohibition Association.
The party of members of the
German Agricultural Society which
is now making tour of the United
States, will arrive in Oregon, June
LIST. and will visit Corvallis on the
afternoon of June 2nd After in
specting the Agricultural College,
the party will proceed over the
westside to Portland.
At the business meeting of the
May Festival committees held IN
Eugene last week, it was decided to
hold the festival in Salem next
year. Officers were elected and
Otto Herse, of Corvallis, was chosen
a vice president. The league was
extended to include the Portland
Choral Union under the direction
of Professor Boyer.
Gen. T. J. Thorp, who is canvass
ing Benton county in support of
Hon. Binger Hermann for congress
addressed enthusiastic audiences
at Summit, Wren, Blodgett
and Kings Valley last week. He
spoke at Wells last night, and will
address the voters of Fairmount
precinct this evening. His timer
ary includes Philomath, Alses, Mon
roe and Dusty.
Arrangements were made with
the Southern Pacific Friday for
bringing 800 students from the
Agricultural College to Portland
during the Presidents visit on May
l21. The negotiations with General
Passenger Agent w. e. Conan re-
suited satisfactory to the college
officials, and it is expected the en-
tire number of students belonging
to the military organization will
take part in the parade. The
[Southein Pacific has also made ar
rangements for hauling the various
uniformed camps residing in the
valley, and is making every posi-
BILE preparation for handling an un-
usually large crowd of excursionists
from Willamette Valley points.

AS great many people will no doubt
visit Portland on the occasion of the Pres
ident's visit to that city May 2lst, it is
anticipated that the railroad company
will be unable to provide facilities to
handle the crowds on one day. Excur-
sion tickets will therefore be on sale from
all stations into Portland on May 18th,
10th and 2lst, and it is suggested that
the people do not wait until the last day.

Henry Allen Writes an Interesting Let
ter and Touches Incidenta1ly on tie
Negro Questior.
Henry Allen is now in Soutt
Carolina. The following ex-
tracts from letter written by
him to his parents, under date oi
Charleston, May S, 1903, will be
of general interest.
II have been travelling now
about two months in Virginia
and South Carolina, but most oil
the time in the latter state.
am from three days to week in
a place, and have got so / en-
Joy it. ] meet the best people
in the places where I stop and as
a general thing they treat me
very nice. While at George
town last week I received an in
vitation to attend a banquet given
by Wingate Indigo society in
honor of their 15oth anniversary.
This society was established in
the time of King George.
SIN an early day there was a
great deal of indigo raised on
Wingal bay and The planters be-
came imiHensely wealthy. It
was their custom to meet once a
year and give a large banquet.
At one of their meetings they
set aside a certain amount to
build and endow free school,
and it is kept up TO this day, the
city of Georgetown using it for
their graded school. It's a very
select society now, only the blue
bloods being entitled to member
ship.
81 have seen lots of the poor
white trash, who are worse than
negroes, and the snuff-dippers,
and find some of them very in
teresting.
81 was on a large rice p1anta-
ton where in the summer time
nobody can live but negroes and
a1ligators.
81 find the brogue OF the negro
different in different sections of
the state. Take the rice negro,
I could scarcely understand him,
and l find it much the same in
Charleston. The negroes on the
rice plantations are the worst in
the South, very little above
beast, and some very vicious In
most counties that | have visited
they outnumber the whites 3 to
I. You would not need to travel
in the South long before you
would plainly see that the peo-iI
pie down here are their best
friends. All this agitation in the
North about the negro being SO
much abused is wrong. I have
never seen one mistreated since
I was in the South, but I have
seen it in Washington.
s'The South should be let alone
and they will solve the problem
all right. The mayor of George
town told me that he thought
the best solution of the negro |
profile would be to kill off all the
buck negroes and the race
would soon become white, and I |
guess there is more truth than
poetry in the proposition.
"This is quaint old city and
very interesting. There is
great deal of history connected
with this old place. I was down
to the battery this morning and
saw the historic old Forts Sump-
ter and Mou1trie.
Tomorrow l am going to the
Isle of Palms, which is said to
be one of the most beautiful
places in the South. It is an
island in the Atlantic not far
from mainland near Charleston
and is covered with a dense
growth of palmettos and the hand
of man has assisted nature in
it perfect paradise. !"

MRS. COLE rs DEAD.

Pleasant Prairie Woman. Who Had Been
Unconscious for Many Hours, is Dead.
Mrs. Sarah Cole, wife of William S.
Cole, of Pleasant Prairie, died at the
home of Mr.. Barter near the Pleasant
Prairie Methodist church at ha1f-past
two O'Clock this morning. Mrs. Cole
tainted away in church on last Friday
evening and never recovered con-
seriousness. The doctor attending the
case states that death resulted from
brain paralysis.
The case of Mrs. Cole had attracted
great deal of attention on account of
the fact that she had been in a state of
coma for so long before her death &C.
had in past years been afflicted with
fainting spells and her death during
one of these spells was not unexpected
to her friends and relatives.
The death of Mrs. Cole marks the
passing of one of the best known and
most highly respected women of the
town Of Pleasant Prairie. She was a
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Elisha Bach
elor, and was born in Michigan, on
March 81, 1841. For many years she
lived near Mason City, Iowa, but
eleven years ago she came with her
husband and son to Pleasant Prairie to
live.
She was woman of zbeautifu1 char
acter, deeply religious and always took
great interest in the work of the
Pleasant Prairie church. Her place
will be hard one to fill in the com.
nunity, and her death has caused sor-
row in many homes. She is survived
by her husband and one son, Bert
Cole.
The funeral of Mrs. Cole will be held
from her home in the town of Pleas
ant Prairie at IL O'Clock Sunday

Ken0sha People interested in Scheme
for Government Aid in Good
Roads Movement.
MAY HELP THE SHERIDAN DRIVE
Plans Outlined for Reconstruction of High
ways VIII Help Kenosha's Plans
for the Big Driveway.

kenosha was represented at the Ma
tional Good Roads Convention held at
the Auditorium in Chicago Friday
night under the auspices of the Ma
tional Good Roads Association, the
National Highway Association and
the National Association of Automo-
bile Manufacturers, by Thos. B. JEFF
ferry, and Geo. w. Bennett, sales man
ager for the Jeffery Automobile Co.
The principal scheme discussed was
the formation of wheel spoke system
of well paved roads, Chicago being at
the hub, and the cities on the rim of
the wheel being Madison, La Crosse,
St. Louis, Indianapolis, and Detroit.
This, plan is the first step to be taken
in the highway reconstruction all over
the country. Five committees of
Mayors will be formed, representing
all the towns between Chicago and the
cities at the other end of the proposed
roads, and they will be urged to assist
the work in every possible manner.
The Department of Agriculture is
taking lively interest in the move
ment for better roads and was repre-
sented in the convention by Martin
Dodge, director of the bureau of road
inquiries.
Delegates from more than thirty
States were present at the convent ton,
and resolutions petitioning Congress
to appropriate large sum of money
for the construction of new highways
was passed. John Brisban Walker,
the Chairman of the National Good
Roads Com mittee, presented figures
showing that the people of the United
States lost annually 100000, 900 be-
cause of the bad roads throughout the
country. "This is by far the biggest
problem before the country" he added.
'It is one which needs immediate and
serious attention.
H. S. Van Ingen and the other gen
tlemen who have been pushing the
project for the extension of the Sheri-
dan Drive through the county, see in
the scheme for government aid in the
construction of new highways hope
for the ultimate success of their plans.
1t is evident that no help for the con-
struction of the drive can be expected
from the county, as any effort to tax
the farmers for the drive will be bit
terly opposed.

Wanton Bird Killing.

When you see woman with band
Of white plumage almost invisibly
tinted with blue and green and more
strongly with golden brown ornament
ing her hat, know that from one to six
of the harmless, lovable, sweet-voiced
little grebes were stripped from chin
to vent to supply it. And when you
see that other woman wearing a cape
the collar Of which reaches above her
ears and the skirt to her shoulders,
and it seems to be made up of almost
indiscernible sections the size of your
hand, know thai each section stands
for the life of one of these charming
little chatterers. The breast of the
grebe is it's curse. It's feathers are SO
tiny and fine as to be almost spineleSs,
so thickly set they stand on end, and
SO delicately colored as to render ade-
quate description impossible. Crested
grebes are killed without mercy for
this little patch Of rare feathering, and
the little marsh ones do not escape.
There is no bird slaughter for plumage
more wanton, unless it be that of the
egret, which takes the life of the
brooding bird for a few beautiful
feathers found on the shoulders only
at nesting time and leaves the young
to die as they may,-Outing
