lib. Thielsen, secretaryof-the
Oregon Good Roads Association,
the annual convention of which
was held in Corvallis recently,
says the Corvallis convention w:s
the best in the history of the AS

in a letter to County Judge Waters
and in part is as follows:
ct want to congratulate you
again npon the successful arrange
ments you made for our late con-
vention, which I consider to be the
very best that has ever been held
under the auspices of the Oregon
Good Roads Association. I was
especially delighted at the interest
manifested by the faculty and stud
ents of the Agricultural College,
and last but not least, by the an
nouncement that highway engin-
eering would hereafter be a special
course in that institution.
II had always known that the
Corvallis College was an excellent
one, but I had no idea that they
were as well equipped and were do
ing such advanced work in, some Of

MUCH MONEY MADE.
Very Large and very fine Audience
Heard DR.. Shorts Lecture.

More than 400 people paid an adj
mission fee of twenty-five cents and
braved a stormy night Friday ev-
ening to hear DR.. Short of Portland
deliver lecture on 'eThe Sunny
Side of Life."a The audience was
a splendid one from every stand
point, and the occasion one of great
fitness for a college town. The
speaker is a fluent and eloquent
pulpiteer, and his dashes of humor
and original opinions soon establish
ed a pleasant relation between him
and his auditors. He ridiculed
those who see only the darker side
of lite and pleaded for hopefulness
and optimism. "These will always
right themselves if time is given"
he said. He told an incident of a
woman whose husband died not
long ago in Portland. and the lady
knew of no means by which she
could pay the expenses Of the bur-
ial. Before loon that day a tele-
gram arrived authorizing a Portland
bank to pay the bereaved wife 500
for funeral expenses. 7a .aS
Throughout the two hours con-
sumed. the address was punctured
with ripples of laughter by the au-
dience. DR.. Short ispaster of Tay-
1or street Methodist church in Port
land, and has a salary of gs3,5oo
per year. A paid choir in bis
church is reputed to be the finest
in Portland. He is IS years of age
and a native of Delaware. It is
understood that he. will deliver a
similar lecture at the same place
some time next year. The sui OF
$1oo.6o was netted by the church
from the lecture.

rier leaves Philomath most of the
year an hour before the Westbound
train arrives, which causes all Al
sea mail to lie in the Phi1omath
postofhce about % hours, except
on Saturdays, when it lies there ov-

AZ hours. The condition has been
wretched from the standpoint of
prompt service, the aA1sea5 people

WHAT NEWSPAPERS SAY.
About the GAG Victory at Seattle
The Seattle Times Story.
Seattle Times.

The football team of the Univer-
asity of Washington wound up its
season yesterday by taking a ter
rible licking from the Oregon
giants who came up from Corvallis
to do that very thing. For the
first time in the history of the I'm
iversity, its football team was drub-
bed on Thanksgiving day, and the
spanking administered was so Wig
orous that there was nothing Of a
huke about it but anyone could
see that the farmers were boss of
the job from the first time they got
the ball. Wonder was expressed
that the University of Oregon team
defeated OAC six to naught. There
is no doubt but Washington is
stronger than Eugene, and Wash
ington was helpless before the Cor
wallis men yesterday. OAC should
have defeated U. of o. "a to O, and
they would have done so had it not
been for discussions in the ranks.
No team that ever played in Seattle
showed the powerful ofense that
the OregonoAggjes put up yester-
day. They were strong big men,
and they played a big strong game.
They had the power and knew how
to Isl it. and throughout the game
it was a question only of howsbadly
Washington would be licked. No
fercer linebuckers than Dolan and
Walker ever played in Seattle.
Walker hit the line as if shot from
a catapu1t, and kept going, The
Washington men could not throw
him back, andthere was not enough
strength in the secondary defense

distance. aa~;s vsr~.74a t.:~ti

Next Saturday for big Port
ss1a . land Game. 7-'

The football team and their
friends go to Portland next Satur-
day on a special train. It will leave
Corvallis at seven o'clock in the
morning, and on the return trip
will leave Portland at seven p. m.
Only two stops will be made, at
Independence and McMinnvi1le,
and the run through to the city will
be accomplished in about three
hours. 9 That fact alone makes the
trip desirable, because of the quick
passage and the comparatively long
stay Of nine hours in the city,
Another feature, however, makes
the excursion still more attractive.
Saying nothing whatever of the
game, which ought to be unpara1lel-
ed IN its interest, the low fare will
be an extraordinary inducement.
Without any game, without any
of the jubilation of spirit that any
excursion arouses, without any of
the general good time that every
body will be in for, the trip com
mends itself because it only takes
S2Tto journey to the metropolis,
making it much cheaper to go than
to stay at home. The rate has
only been given by the railroad
company on two occasions. The
first of these was for the great
christmas game with Multnomah
last year, and the other was on Cor
wallis Day at the 1905 Fair. On
the first, 23o Corvallisites made the

Another rotten mess of ~corruption
in Oregon land frauds is ripped

land agent, Oswald West. In the
new instance, the storm center of
the theft is the state land Office,

probity than of private pelf. IN
- chooled in a bank, born with
native genius and a najunusual al
1owance Of, plain honesty, Mr.. West
began, on assuming Office, to probe
under the surface Of things with the
result that one abuse after another
was disclosed. He was abused for
a time, and his disclosures made

energetically however, he kept at
his task, and last Sundays papers

II FULTON

1t is unfortunate that Senator
Fulton is at loggerheads with
President Roosevelt. no These be
times when Oregon with her heavy
burden of indicted and convicted
congressional representatives, needs
all the influence she can muster at
Washington. The eyes of the
country, partly because of the land
frauds and partly by reason OF the
Lewis and Clark Fair, are upon the
state, and the query abroad is, is
it for better, or for worse, that
Oregon is in the limelight. 9aT
Perhaps, the benefits of the Lew
is and Clark Fair would fairly
stand off the %contumely and dis
grace of the land steals and the
state still be able to profit out of the
condition, were our one remaining
senator in position to be at his very
best at Washington. Possibly, it
is not all the fault, and maybe, not
any of the fault of Senator Fulton
that the Hitchcocks. the Moodys,
and the Roosevelts are against him.
We Of Oregon only know that they
are, and that therein Is there disad-
vantaget to US. all at a time when

HOROrS for Or. ]. ]. Crook

DR.. J. j. Crook was surgeon of the
Seventh Kansas cavalry and was after
wards brigade surgeon. The Seventh
Kansas was known as Jenison' jay

including the famous battle at Vicks-
burg, where the confederates lost
4S, 700 men. killed, wounded and pris-
oners. The union forces lost l., 249

County Board Meets

But little was done by the county
commi ssioners this week as there were
no complaints on assessments and the
missioners sitting as board of
equalization were able to take life
easy as they We're required by law to

others failed to make trouble enough
to keep them busy.
After completing their work as a
board of equalization they convened
in regular session and took up the
matter of bids on the proposed bridge
across Crystal river above Satank.
There We're three bidders and after

Garfield in the Lead

Garfield county has demonstrated
her right to be placed at the head of
the list or at least very close to the
head, if we may judge by the prizes
awarded at the state fair held last
week at Pueblo
Notwithstanding the exhibits were
prepared on short notice, there being
fewer individual exhibitors than
there should have been, the following
awards to this county show Garfield
well to the front.
Sweepstakes prize over all counties.
Garfield awarded second. Second
prize for fifth district, with Mesa
county first
First and second for best boxes of
plums.
First for best display of foreign
plums.
First for best plate of apples.
Second for best box and plate of
peaches.
Second and third for best display of
pears.
First and second on many single
plates.
One of the finest exhibits of the
fair was display of pears by James
Brennan of Grand Valley. This COW
cred table rs feet long and was ad-
mired by all who saw it, it being by
far the largest display of pears on the
ground but failed IN carrying off first
honors on account of being short sew
eral varieties. Notwithstanding the
lack of varieties which the judges
were obliged to consider in making
the awards, MI. Brennan's exhibit
was generally pronounced the finest
on the ground
1t is now believed that had little
more interest been taken in the state
fair and an effort made earlier to Sc.
cure exhibits, this county would have
Jared much better than she did hut it
can readily be seen from the above
that we are no third rater.

An Invention for riremen

Arthur lnkersley in the Scientific
American tells of the invention for
firemen as follows:
An ingenious respiratory apparatus
for the use of fremen has been inven
ted by Mr.. Charles E. Chaplin, a
mechanical craftsman who lives in
Berkeley. California. 1t consists of a
hood lined with oiled silk to cover the
head and an air cylinder which is
strapped on the back. The cylinder
is divided into three chambers, carry
ing under a pressure that can be regu-
lated enough air to last an hour. The
air is conducted by rubber tube to
the headpiece, the exhaled air passing
ont through valve before the mouth
The fireman can get enough air to fill
his lungs comfortably hut cannot ex-
pend the supply in short time, as he
might be tempted to do if he became
frightened. The main supply of air
comes from the outer cylinders, the
middle one being smaller and to be
drawn upon only after the other two
are exhausted. The apparatus can be
adjusted on the back in half minute,
and, as it weighs only 23 pounds. II
does not impede the fireman in his
