CIRCUS DAY IS CHILDREN'S DAY,
Norris & Rowe's Greater Circus Bring
HAPPINESS to the Little Folks.

Circus day is children's day. It
belongs essentially to them. Ira
dition has made it. So. Years Of
the most careful effort by the m an
ayers of the Norris & Rowe shows
to eliminate everything and any
thing in the slightest degree immor-
al or impo1ite in the character of
their exhibitions, has at last con
vinced the public generally of the
absolute cleanliness and morality of
their circus as place of entertain
ment, and with such comprehensive
shows as are the Norris & Rowe
mammoth double menageries, mu-
scum, hippodrome, congress of
trained animals and two ring circus
a source of profitable and practical
instruction in this great consolidat-
ed institution.
There is no longer any excuse
or apology for not going to the
circus. The presence of clergy
men at every performance, with
seldom an exception, attest the gen
eral and sensible change of con-
sideration for the circus by church
people. 1t is not only matter of
extreme delight to the children to
see the show, but it is duty as
well as a pleasure upon the part OF
parents, relatives and friends to en-
ah1e them IN see If A nortion of
the programme of every circus is
devoted to the little ones. The
clever comic conceits of the congress
nf clowns, pretty performance of
ponies, great clown bears. tiny rid
ing bears; goats and sagacious
dogs fill the fancies of the little
ones to overhowing.

PIPE OF WOOD.
For Water Works Something About
it-Sampfes Were IN Corvallis.

The attention of the local water
committee has been called to wood
stave pipe as a factor in water
works construction. Small sections
of such pipe were exhibited in town
Wednesday by A. G Reese, of Salt
Lake, Pipe of the kind. 1aid8o
years ago in Germany. is still in use
andin good condition. 1t has come to
be widely used in the West in wat
er systems. Engineer Miller is au-
thority for the statement that Sc
attic has in all something like 200
miles of it. Mr.. Fortner, another
engineer, says Denver has fifty
mile pipe line made Of wooden
slaves. Frank Kelsay, Salt Lake
hydraulic engineer recommends and
employs it widely in systems which
he designs. The piping is of two
kinds,-that made in factories and
consisting of sections 10 to 20 feet
In length; and that made on the
ground as the pipe line is laid. In
the latter all the joints are broken
and the line is continuous. Each
stave passes a distance of two feet
or more beyond the one next to it,
being joined at the end by q patent
device that renders it absolutely
water tight. Five eighths round
steel, dipped in asphalt is used for
bands. Such pipe is built to stand
a water pressure from a head of
900 feet. Mr.. Kelsay, the Salt
Lake hydraulic engineer has of late
been supervising engineer for water
works in which wood stave pipe,
mostly continuous was laid as fol-
lows: Bozeman, Montana. four
and a half miles of "a and 1o inch
pipe line under 800 foot head: Dill
lon. Montana, 20 miles five to 10
inch, mostly continuous wood stave
maximum head, $50 feet; Spanish
Fork, Utah, eight miles five to ten
inch all continuous wood stave pipe
made on the ground, 200 foot head.
Mt. Pleasant, Utah, 10 miles, three
to 1o-inch wood stave pipe, $50
foot head. In all the pipe, Oregon
fir is employed. The claim of all
three OF the engineers who have
been in Corvallis is that wood stave
pipe is as good if not better than
any other pipe, except cast iron,
the latter of which costs two TO
three times as much as the wooden
pipe. When the continuous wood
stave pipe is used all the money
spent in the construction Of water
works, except for steel for the
bands is spent at home, and goes
primarily for labor.

FORMER o. A. c. PRESIDENT.
Is Dead Now John M. Bloss Passed
Away In Indiana His Career.


John M. Bloss, for four years
president of. the Oregon Agricul-
tural College, died at Muncie. In
diana, Wednesday morning. The
news reached this city in a tele-
gram to President Catch from Mrs.
Bloss. The sad intelligence was
announced by President Catch with
appropriate remarks at the chapel
hour, and all day the college flag
hung at half mast in token of the
passing of the institutions former
president. The news followed in
significant illustration of the fragile
character of human affairs, the an
nouncement recently made that Mr..
and Mrs. Bloss were to spend the
coming summer in Oregon, and
were to be guests at OAC during
Commencement.
The deceased served as president
of the college from 1892 to 1896.
He followed President Arnold who
died in January 1892. Prof. J. D.
Letcher, then head of the depart
ment of Mathematics, was acting
president from President Arnold's S
death until the arrival of President
Bloss about the 3rd of June follow
ing. Arrangements had been made
for the latter to deliver the address
on Decoration day in Corvallis.
but he failed to arrive on time. In
August, 1893, little more than a
year after his accession to the
presidency, Mr.. B1oss was married
to Miss Mary Woods, who was
principal at the time of a High
school at Topeka, Kansas, a city in
which President B1oss had formerly
been Observation-Disclosures After
her arrival in Corvallis Mrs. Bloss
became at once prominent in social
and church circles. During, the
encumbency of President B1oss,
the college made good growth,
reaching at one time an enrolment
of nearly 400, including the prepar-
atory department, which was abo1-
ished during his administration.
In 1896 he retired from the college,
falling a victim to the combination
that placed H. B. Miller at the
head of the institution. Bresident
Bloss was a good man in all the
senses of the word, and there are
many in Corvallis who regret that
for his projected visit here, there
is substituted a pail, a hearse, and
a sepulchre.
John Bloss was perhaps IS years
of age. His malady was diabetes.
He served through the Civil war
as Union soldier, enlisting in an
Indiana regiment. He entered the
army as a private and emerged a
captain. On his return to Indiana
after his retirement from the col
lege, he became general agent of
an insurance company at Muncie,
/ Indiana. His son, Will Bloss,
was twice coach of the OAC foot
ball team. once in 1897 when the
Northwest championship was won.
When last heard from he was civil
engineer in the railroad service in
the Southern States. Miss Mamie
Bloss, now Mrs. Dumont Lotz, re-
sides at South Bend, Indiana.
