EDITOR GAzTTE:-In order to
make a complete exhibit of the re-
sources of Benton county at the
Lewis and Clark Fair, the COM
mittee wishes to get samples of wool
both fine and long and mohair.
For exhibits Of length, locks one
inch to one-half inch in diameter
will do. We wish to get as many
samples as possible this spring in
order to have them prepared and
mounted and arranged in time. IF
the name of the grower is tied to
the sample it will appear with it in
the exhibit. We shall be glad to
get larger samples of anything fine,
such as whole feeces or goat hides
with fleece, either washed or dyed.
Such samples will be carefully pre-,
served and returned. Samples may
be left at S. L. Kline's or probably
with any buyer in Corvallis

AS I walked out around the COL
lege farm yesterday I noted many
things of interest. The air was
full of fragrance from the blossom
ing fruit trees of. many kinds. The
gratis which the Seniors had put
in some tree stubs were beginning
to grow and so was the alfalfa
across the road The field of vetch
and rye was almost ready to begin
on for soiling purposes, while
another field was being prepared to
receive peas and rye for later feed

Who Were Thew?

To one great fact do all the most an
cient epochs of history bear witness;
one and all they prove the existence in
a yet more remote past of an already
advanced civilization such as could only
have been gradually attained after long
and arduous cropping. Who were the
inaugurators of this civilization? Who
were the earliest inhabitants of the
earth? To what biological conditions
were they subject? What were the
physical and climatic conditions of the
globe when they lived? By what fora
and fauna were they surrounded? But
science pushes her inquiry yet further.
She desires to know the origin Of the
human race-when, how and why men
first appeared upon the earth, for, from
whatever point Of view he is consider
ed, man must of necessity have had a
beginning. Manners and Monuments
Of Prehistoric Peoples"

FRIGHTFUL PLUNGE TO DEATH
Leading Chicago Surgeon Accidentally
Falls Nine Stories in the Chicago
Athletic Club House.

Chicago, April 25.-Dr. Edward
Henry Lee, leading surgeon Of Chi
cago and well known clubman, plunged
nine stories to almost instant death
in the club house of the Chicago Athle-
tic association, where he made his
home. The open shaft surrounding the
winding stairway was the space
through which he shot.
A moment after he had been chat
ting with a friend ON the ninth floor
of the big club house his lifeless body
was lying on the marble floor on the
street level, more than 125 feet below.
The fall was accidental, there being
no suggestion Of suicide. DR.. Lee, who
won wide fame as surgeon, was a
member of a large number of. socie-
ties.

Banana Crop Every Fifteen Days

banana Crop Every Fifteen Days.
There is evidently an erroneous idea
abroad concerning the harvesting of
the banana CROP" said man who has
been for seven years on q plantation in
Honduras.
THE statement that four or FIVE
crops of bananas are harvested a year
is entirely incorrect. A crop is har-
vested on an average of every fifteen
days throughout the year. Each thrifty
banana plant has many suckers or
stalks growing from a single root at
the same time. One or more punches
of the ripening fruit are cut from a sin
gle stalk, while the other stalks grow
ing from the same root are left un-
touched, and in fifteen days another of
the stalks is shOrn of it's fruit. This
process continues necessarily during
the year. In July and August it is
necessary to cut off the ripening bunch
es every ten days. while in December
and January about once a month is
sufficient, the average throughout the
year being practically fifteen days.

Climbing a Cocoanut Tree,

Cocoanuts when ripe fall to the
ground and when necessary are pluck
ed by men who climb up. 1t sometimes
makes ones blood run cold to see them
run up the trees like monkeys. Two
ways are practiced for mounting the
trunk. In the case of a small tree, or
at an odd moment, the man walks up
the trunk, keeping his feet fat against
it and throwing his weight back from
it as much as possible, retaining his
position at the same time by the ten
sion of his arms. The other and safer
plan is to pass loop of cord around
the feet, which are thus kept close to-
gether, and grasp the trunk Of the tree,
the arms in the meantime assisting
the climber, who moves upward in a
series Of jumps.

spring it was noticed that the orange
tree was dropping, and on digging
down he found that the roots Of the
pine, which stood at some distance,
had twisted around the taproot Of the
orange tree and were strangling it to
death. The offending roots were un-
twisted and cut away, and the droop-
ing plant revived The tree eventually
died. Then on digging down at a
greater depth the clergyman found the

MINES SANK THE BArTLEsHIP
Russians Agree, and That They Were Jap

Russians Agree, and That They Were Jap
anese Mines Laid by Togo.
st. Petersburg, April 22.-All doubt
as to the cause of the destruction Of
the battleShip Petropavlovsk and the
damage to the battleship Pobieda at
Port Arthur is dissipated by the re-
port submitted by telegraph to the en-
peror yesterday. In it VicerOy Alexieff
stated in a way that leaves the matter
no longer an open question that mines
were responsible for the disaster.
The admissions Of the presence Of
Japanese ships off Port Arthur on the
night preceding the going out of the
Russian ships. which We're watched by
Admiral Makaroff. tends to establish
Vice Admiral Togo's claim that his
ships laid mines on which the Russian
battleships struck.
The viceroy's report was sent only
after a thorough investigation ordered
by the emperor had been made 1t was
published this morning through the
war commission. 1t explicitly states
1nar under the StarDOarQ size OF the
Petropavlovsk therewas an explosion, -
and specifically declares that mine
exploded upder the Pobieda. That the
Russian ships did not run on their own
mines is shoYn by the failure of the
viceroy to mention anything of the
kind, and by the positive statement of
the port admiralty that Admiral Maka-
rolf was familiar with the location of
the torpedoes defending the port
The Russian officials also fail to un-
derstand the surprising blunder caused
by the mistake of the Russian torpedo
boat destroyers in taking the Japanese
torpedo boats for a Russian fiotilla,
which resulted in the loss Of the
StraShni.
