During the first month of the

over one million people went
through the turnstile gates into
the fair grounds. The grounds
are rapidly nearing completion,
and each day marks some i'm
provement in the general charac-
ter of the fair.
Governor Rally of Kansas said
We'll, I have visited every
state building OH the grounds,
and none has pleas d me so much
as this one. 1t is unique and SO
different from any other state
mansion and at the same time it
is so attractive it is a pleasure to
see it." .
Oregon's building is not in an
out of the way place, but on the
contrary, stands on the highest
place on the grounds, and is on
the main road from the Palace oil
Fine Arts to the Government
Building, thoroughtair that is
always thronged. Oregon is at
tracing attention at St. Lonis,

Death of a Former Resident.

Edwin Stone is in receipt of a
telegram announcing the death
of Mrs. Edwina NJ. Eddy, wife
of Col. Richard A. Eddy, in Chi
cago. Col. Eddy was for a num-
Der of years associated with A.
B. Hammond in banking. min
ing and railroad enterprises and
accumulated a fortune, retiring
some years ago. He married
Mrs. Eddy, who was Mrs. Elwina
M. Abbott, near Corvallis, where
she was born and where her par
ents now live. She was sister
of Mrs. A. B. Hammond and one
of the most lovable women Ore
gon ever produced, and her love
Of her native state often brought
her here for extended visits.
The family lives in San Fran
| cisco, but Mrs. Eddy, who has
been in poor health for some
years, had been taken to Chi
cago hospital for treatment, and
there she died early Tuesday
morning.
Mrs. Eddy had wide ac-
quaintance in this portion Of the
Willamette valley among the best
people, and her untimely death
will be generally regretted and
deeply mourned by all who knew
and loved her.-Abany Herald.

Dissatisfied Prisoners,

Mr.. De Bois and son, of Lin
coin county, now confined in the
Benton county Jail are not as wei
satisfied bv the change from
Toledo to Corvallis as was hoped
they would be. Mr.. De Bois has
made complaints about the hard
ness of the bed and has asked
for springs to be put thereon. He
also thinks he is entitled to the
same fare served by the best hotels
in the city. Whether or not he
is guilty of that with which he is
charged remains to be seen, but
taking it for granted that he is
not, he is now getting as much
or more in the way of accomodat-
ions than most people enjoy who
are free
The food he gets is wholeso me
and clean and there is plenty of
it. His bed is no harder than
other beds without springs and
he has in addition a fair amount
OF good reading matter to pass
away his weary hours. If prison.
ers were granted every request,
there is no telling where the
thing would end. If the spring
bed and better menu were grant
ed Mr.. De Bois, probably the
next thing he would want for his
cell would be a Brussels carpet.
The expenses in this case, how
ever do not matter as they are
borne by another county, but
prisoners in general are apt to
forget that they are held as violat,
ors of the law and order, and are
supposed to suffer and be denied
the privileges of ordinary society,
rather than have a good time III
confinement. In the matter of
expense also, the public is fire.
quently made to suffer quite as
much as the prisoners, by having
to bear the expense OF such re-
tention, in providing spring beds,
hotel fare etc.
1t seems no more than Just
that where fines are imposed they
ought to be sufficiently large to
cover all such expenses counting
out at the expiration of the term
the value Of any work that may
have done. In case this is not
done the public is justified in
making the expense as small as
possible, providing if need be
only bread and water

A Good Word for O. A. G.,

The Grants Pass Observer, in
acknowledging the receipt of the
catalogue of the Agricultural Col.
lege, said:
I'm this catalogue the history
and work Of the Agricultural Col
lege at Corvallis is gone into very
thoroughly, and a large amount
of information is given. The
institution is doing a splendid
service in the eductation of the
sons and daughters of Oregon,
and is justly held IN high esteem
by the people of the state. It's
leading purpose is to teach such
branches of learning as are refat-
ed to agriculture and the me-
chanical arts ''in order to pro-
mote the liberal and practical ed
ucation of the Industrial classes
: in the several pursuits and pro
| fessions in lile,' To that end,
courses ara provided in Asrlcul-
ture, Household Science. Me
chan1cal Engineering, Mining
Engineering, Pharmacy and Lit
erary Commerce. Here is psac-
tical training to meet the sp5 Gal
talents OF e>-ry stu lent, auti the
course given in zach is very
thorough t and complete. Besides
this educational work, the Cor
Wallis College is doing a good ser
vice to the public in the way of
experiments bearing upon agri-
culture, horticulture, stock rais-
ing, etc., and the wide eissem-
iuation, by way OF tree phamph-
lets. of the information thus
gained. FROM a small begin
