The COMMITTEES Of the National Academy
Of Sciences which was appointed TO ex-
anime the original Of the Declaration Of
Independence and communicate With the
Secretary Of State as to Its present con-
dition. The report says: -
sThs instrument has suffered very seri-
ously from the harsh treatment to which
II was exposed In the earlier years Of
the republic. folding and rolling having
creased and broken the parchment. The
wet press copying operation TO which it
was exposed about 1890. for the purpose Of
producing fac simile copy. removed q
large portion Of the ink. Subsequent
exposure to the action OF light for moro
than thirty years, while the instrument
was placed on exhibition, has resulted in
the fading Of the Ink, particularly Of the
signatures. The present method OF caring
for the instrument seems to be the best

The committee suggests that a photo
graph be taken OF the document from time

The report says further:
The committee does not consider II Wis
to apply any chemicals with view to re-
storing the original color Of the ink because
such application could be but partially
suoceesful, a. o considerable percentage
Of tho original ink was removed In making
the COPY about 1890 and also because such
application might result In serious discolor.

For the last nine years the Declaration
has been kept fiat In a frame between two
sheets Of glass In drawer OF q steel case
and seldom exposed TO the light and air.
and the committee concludes It's report
by saying that the present method OF pro-
tecting the instrument should be cons
tinued and that it should be kept In the
dark, and as dry as possible and never
placed on exhibition
The State Department. In making this
report public. denies that the Declaration
has ever been on exhibition at any Of the
great fairs since the Centennial Exposition.
Il was returned 20 the Department OF State
In 1877, and since then has never been out

than Q year past has not been on exhibition

Lighting the City.

The Corvallis Electric Light
Company has submitted to the
city council contract for light
ing the streets and public build
ings of the city for the next
twenty years. It has already
passed its second reading in the

The contract is to continue in

chased from this company.
The rates are SIS per annurn

tension are inserted in the con-
tract, and an agreement by which
the city can have the privilege of
buying the works at the end OF
a period Of five years, by giving

ton. This covers the principal

ALBANY MUSI EAPlAiN.
Accused of Buying Azfn for Her
Footbail Teaf'r

From the newspaper reports
during the past few days It is tt
be seen that Albany COLES i is
not on the best of terms with L.,
University of Oregon. The
cause of the discord is that Al
bany is accused of buying foot
ball players to help her through
the season, and the report, which,
no doubt is true, certainly puts
our sister city in a very shady
light.
Since the above facts have be-
come public it has caused no lit
tie comment among the college
football enthusiasts of our city.
We all know that Albany never
had any love for Corvallis and
Eugene, while the two latter
places have always been on
friendly terms in all their athletic
sports.
Manager Wallace, 81. Albany,
resigned the beginning of the
football season because he an
nounced that Albany College did
not have the material this year
for a frst-class team, but never
theless, they have organized and
scheduled games with the strong
est teams in the state. Now the
question is, where did Albany
procure her football players that
they claim is now making such a
strong lineup, when they had
practically no material for a team
at the beginning of the season?
Albany's action in sending
men to Corvallis last Saturday to
try and pursuade Rumbaugh to
join them, when he is now at
tending the 0. A. c. and playing
on this years team, has not en-
deared Albany in the hearts of
the football admirers in this city.
If Albany does not give a salts
factory explanation it is very
likely that the game scheduled
for the 3Ist will not be played.
With the lineup of the o. A.
c. this year Albany would have
very little show of winning, but
the local team does not care to
meets any college that reser to
such tactics that the Albany team
now stands accused of. It is now
up to them to explain.
