First, because the vice presidential

a strong furnisher of campaign funds.
Second, because Bryan is a western

CORVALLIS, OREGON,
TUESDAY EVENING JAN. ., 1905.
AS TO ORCHARDS.

The movement that has for its
purpose the eradication of diseases
that affect fruit and fruit trees will
doubtless meet with a hearty well
come in Benton. Perhaps none
will be more pleased with the plan
than the orchardists themselves.
Diseased and infested as they are,
the fruit trees bring but a poor re-
turn for their fruitage. Customers
are driven from consumption of the
fruit because it is not pleasant to
coquette with a worm while essay
ing to eat an apple. Less fruit Is
consumed, and less money is paid
for it, by thousands upon thous-
ands of dollars, than if the trees
were cared for and the product
made perfect, as is easily possible.
The loss falls on those who have
orchards; the gain to come from re-
form of condition, goes solely to
them.
The law governing the situation
is strict. If enforced, it will clear
the Willamette of diseased fruit
and sickly trees. Then Willamette
apples will take their place, where
they belong, In the front rank with
other apples, and a great revenue
will pour in where now there is
none.
In the past effort has Away:
been to break out of Jail, but with
drouth in town and drouth at
1.-THE club" and the Benton bastilt
full of tarantular, the main concern
is to keep somebody from breaking
in.

ROSE EYTINGE.
Her Recital Many were There-An
Evening with the Poets.

Rose Eytinge in dramatic read
ings at the Opera House Friday
night was the best performance
seen in this city In a long time.
Miss Eytinge read Robert Brown
ing's Herve Riel, Elizabeth Barrett
~Browning's Blanca to the Night
ingales, Bayard Taylor's Give us a
Song, and the Letter and other
scenes from Macbeth, Sam Simp-
sons Beautiful Willamette, and as.
sisted by Miss Edna Irvine, readalso
Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Lord
Walters Wife, and the great scene
between Shylock and Portia from
the Merchant of Venice. Though
in all splendid, particularly in The
Nightingales, and in the SHAKES
pearean selections Miss Eytinge
shone conspicuous in all the splen-
did genius with which she came
accredited as an interpreter and por-
trayer of human feeling. Nothing
so fine as her Shylock or in the dis
pairing plant of Blanca to the birds
as has ever been seen on the local
stage, a verdict in which all the
audience were perfectly agreed.
In addition to Miss Eytinge's
numbers, Prof. John Fulton sang
with fine effect, 1.-The Winds in
Trees and for an encore sang de-
lightfully MARY of Argyle Miss
Edna Irvine read Kipling's MY
Rival" and the Florodora sextette,
composed of Miss Gertrude McBee,
Miss Myrtle Harrington, Misses
Mary and Bessie Dannaman, Miss
Pauline Davis and Miss Gladys
Moore gave a selection and encore,
the first selection being, "Tell me
Pretty Maiden" and the encore,
Teasing" The work of the sex
tette was graceful and attractive.
The recital was a finished occas-

were worn. The patronesses were
