INVITED TO JOIN.
In Big Convention-CitiZens Lea
que of Benton.

The Benton County Citizens
League has received an urg ent
invitation to send delegates to
the Pacific North west convention
at Spokane, September 25th.
The purposes of the meeting are
explained fully in the following
letter to John F. Allen, secretary
of the local League:
AS the result of extended con-
ferences held at Portland, and
Spokane, under the auspices of
the Executive Committee of the
Portland Commercial Club and
the Publicity Committee of the
Spokane Chamber of Commerce,
it was unanimously decided to
hold convention at Spokane
a nd invite the cooperation of
every commercial and industrial
body in the states of Oregon,
Washington, Idaho and Montana
to participate through representa-
tive delegations.
The purpose of this gathering
is to bring together the repre-
sentative men of this most pros
porous section of the United
States, and after thorough con-
sultation unite upon plan to
advertise the actual resources and
not to exploit the peculiar adj
vantages of any of the cities.
In all this vast empire the
greatest resource is timber, the
principal cereal is wheat, the
chief fruit is the apple, the greatest
force water power, and the most
necessary development Increased
irrigation, while mining and
stockraising are equally import
ant.
Every city and town in the
four states is equally interested
in securing the homebuilder, for
it is only through increased pop
ulation that we can develop these
tremendous resources which are
of necessity the foundation upon
which our cities must be perma-
nently prosperous.
The officers and active men,
bers of the leading commercial
organizations in the Pacific
Northwest have discussed this
meeting and have promised to be
present personally. The lowest
possible railroad rates will be
made, aud the work of this con-
vention will be watched with in
terest by the passenger and i'm
migration officials of all the
trans.c continental railroads, many
of whom will attend. There is a
universal disposition through out
all this section of the United
States to have its resources ad-
vertised-its busiest and best
men are ready to put up their
money and give their time.
1t is expected that the legis-
latures of the four interested
states may be induced to make
appropriations for advertising
their own peculiar advantages,
and the lawmakers of the four
states will be very much inter-
ested in the deliberations of this
convention, and for that reason
all delegates are urged to ascer-
tain the sentiment in their i'm
mediate communities before COM
ing to the convention.

REGARDING FOOTBALL.
At OAC and u. of O.-Items OF
Interest.

IF LYMAN Bundy returns te
OAC this fall, as 1t is reported
that he will, he will probably be
the only one of last years's frs
team football men left in college.
Cherry is not likely to return,
but OF the second team men there
is a likelihood that Hughes,
Finn, Darby, Pendergrass, Por-
terheld and Harding will be on
hand.
1t is a matter of general regret
that Bert Pilkington, the grad
uate manager OF athletics at the
cfollege has resigned, as he was
an excellent man for the posi-
ton, being qualified by much ex-
perience and by natural ability
as we'll. His departure for PORT
land on Friday, where he takes a
position as deputy state food COM
missioner and chemist in the
state chemical laboratory, meant
much to the football prospects
at OAC, and may mean much in
the success OF the big inter-
scholastic high school meet
which was arranged by Mr.. Pix
ington for next year.
1t is to early yet ito form an
idea of the football outlook for
OAC, as no material is on hand
to "size up"
Commenting on the prospect
at U. of O., the Eugene Guard
says:
Thongh the university does
not open until late in the month,
the football players are already
looking forward to the sport.
The Oregon team will play the
old fascinating game that has
been discarded for Rugby in the
California colleges, as will the
university of Washington and
university of Idaho. Other col
leges in these states play the
same game as the state univer-
sites.
Little is known as to the re-
suits that the new rules will have
on the game. The play will be
more open and that it is thought
will eliminate the danger. Coach
Bezdeck is we'll acquainted with
the new rules, and says they i'm
prove the game from all view
points.
Prospects for good team are
good. Seven men, with Captain
Chandler, who composed the
VARSITY team last year, are ex-
pected back again. Six of the
strongest men on the college ele-
ven will return, and with the
freshmen, will present as good
football material as any coach
could wish. The varsity fellows
expected to return are: Captain
aud lett end, Chandler; right end,
Moores; center, George Hug;
quarterback, Jack Latourette;
right guard, Fred Moullen; left
tackle, Olsen Arnspiger; and
right tackle, Mex inney. Of
the college team there will be
back Clark, johnson, Obertauger,
Whittlesey, Wood and Jasper.
All the men mentioned are
working during the summer, and
should be in pretty good condi-
ton to commence the first light
practice. ~

ern air to the premises and will
render the place much lighter
and more attractive. All in all,
the improvement is one that has
long been needed and that makes
very decided change for the
better III the appearance of Main

PROSPECT GOOD.
For Splendid Racing at State
Fair Next Week

Many Corvallis people are
planning to attend the state fair
at Salem next week, which be-
gins the 10th and lasts five days.
Owing to the Lewis and Clark
exposition, there was no fair
held last year, and the interest is
doubly keen this fall because
the people have become so ac-
customed to the event that they
have missed it greatly.
The buildings at the fair
grounds have been repainted,
the camp ground has been won
derfully improved aud laid off
like city; there is to be a
"mayor'' OF the camp ground
and the streets will be numbered
so that no one can get lost. A
directory will also be maintained
which will enable friends to 10.
cate ones tent, and every con-
venience that can add to the
pleasure of visitors to the fair
will be there. Hundreds of
tents will be pitched there next
week, and it is certain that all
who 60 will be we'll repaid for
their time and trouble. Many
who cannot 60 to camp expect to
60 for a day, and to encourage
such travel the railroads are OF.
fering a one-and-one-third fare
for the round trip from Corvallis.
The racing events as scheduled
will be the best attractions of the
sort ever offered at the state fair
grounds, as there are more
entries and faster horses on hand
this year than ever before.
Speaking OF the races dispatch
from Salem this week says:
1.-THE racing program at the
coming state fair will be the
best that ever was carried out in
Salem. There will be more
horses here than was ever gather
ed at a meet on the Pacific coast
and the fastest horses that were
ever in Oregon, except Sweet
Marie and Mack, will be here.
A bunch Of from 100 to 125
horses arrived at the Lone Oak
track yesterday from Everett. and
the California contingent Of
racers will arrive this week. All
the horses at the track are show
ing up better than any records
they have previously made aud
as the track is getting in good
condition horsemen believe that
some fine records will be made.
"Delaney's little brown mare,
Delilah, that is now at Everett,
has been making some splendid
time, and Zolock, who is SO fast
that he outclasses anything on
the coast. will make exhibition
races. He will probably lower
the Lone Oak and Northwest
track records.
THE program includes the
Farmers stake, 2:27 trot, $1,000,
IS entries; Lewis and Clark

THE HApPr, HAPPY F4BMEE.

United States Senator Pettus of Ala bama, who is eighty-six years old, when asked what vocation he would choose if he were again beginning ac- tive Nife, replied; "The high calling of a farmer. I would purchase a nicely To- cated farm, and settle down to farming as my life work, thus guaranteeing to my loved ones and myself the highest and happiest of homes with a full crib, full smokehouse and a full measure of usefulness"
 Often when man has been some thing besides farmer he wishes that he had been Q farmer. And the farmer often wishes he had been something else. But there is a good deal to say in support of Senator Pettus" notion. Be- ing farmer is indeed a high calling, It is also an independent calling, if the farm isn't mortgaged, if good mar ket Is handy, if good help can be got, and if the worms and the bugs don't eat up the independence, The farmers in this country have been pretty inde- pendent lately with their big crops and their big money, and there are indica- tions that as time goes on they will be even more independent than they have been If people continue to disregard the advice of J. J. Hill those who have < farms will be very useful and much re- spected, unless they form a trust and get all they can for their products.

REMARKS BY 4 GERMAN.

The French continue to be uneasy about the Germans, but they are a iit- tie cheered by the talk of "a parsonage of high commercial importance in Ger many and on intimate terms with the Emperor He declared that the Ger mans did not propose to carry out their national programme by war. As to the Pan-Germans, every country had its ChauWnists, The programme of the business men was 10 live in peace, to produce a large quantity of merchan- disc. and to be strong enough to trade freely everywhere. In reference to the Kaiser's speeches, he said: We re- gard cur Emperor as our best eommer- claI traveller. In reality he has no more desire for war than I have. All our money is invested in business. All our credits are inextrcably bound up together. We lack reserves. If a war were ito break out between Germany and England, 50 per cent. of the Ham, burg firms would suspend payment within twenty-four hours" To the ob- jections that such considerations would not weigh with the military party, the reply was that the latter as the ser want and not the master of the coun- try. To the suggestion that C conflict might occur independently of the will of Germany, this German authority re- piled, Tn any case, it is not France that we have in view. All she has to do is to keep quiet. We do not under stand how she can play the game of England. After all, it is not 80 long since Fashoda." Being reminded that something more than fair words was required for an understanding, particu- larly after a threat of war had been followed by the Emperors visit to Tan- gier, the German merchant exclaimed: "Tangier! always Tangier, But how can you pretend to prevent us from seeking a position in the Mediterrane- an when we send on an average every year 25O ships and million tons of goods more than ouyourselves through the Suez Canal, which is nevertheless within stones throw of Marseilles?" He again asserted that the Germans did not seek to conquer, but merely to | assure freedom for their trade;

have the common people understand the value of superior blood and the dan ger to society of inferior blood. They will also suggest means for improving the heredity of the family the people land the race. The committees work will be entirely practical. They will suggest methods by which the laws of heredity can be applied to men, so that disease, vice and crime may be pre- vented. For instance, they will take up such concrete questions as whether two blind persons should be allowed to mar ry, If the investigations prove that their marriage would cause the trans mission of their defect to their children the committee will suggest some meth cd to prevent such unions.
 This is interesting, and perhaps 1t is promising. It will at least call atten- tion to some matters that need atten- tiOr1

AN INTERVENING soHEME.

Scientific gentlemen have done much to improve the quality of animals, vege-
 tables and fruits, but they haven't so far done much to improve the human being. Now we read that Willett NJ. Hayes, Assistant Secretary of Agricul-
 ture, has deserted the peaceful study of scientific farming and taken up the difficult task of improving the human race. He has appointed a committee of eminent scientists and educators, who are to make an investigation of hered- ity in it's application to the human spe- cies and make a report at the next meeting of the American Breeders As sociation, of which MT. Hayes was the organizer. For many years, while he was the head of the Minnesota experi- ment station. pr. Hayes worked with plants and animals and gave his hered- ity ideas full play. He now wants to apply his scientific deductions to hu- man beings. The committee will take up and devise means of recording the values of the blood of the different races. They will make an attempt to

The plant from which each of the cigars is made is known, and the one that makes the best showing in the competition is selected for planting. The test is proving an aid to the American tobacco industry by teaching the farmers what kinds of tobacco to plant in order to receive the highest financial returns.

The building in which the public library now is is not fitted for the use which has been made of it, and New Haven Is far inferior to many cities and even towns-Branford, for instance-in its public library build ing. Now we can have building that will be what 6 library building ought to be. Mrs, Ives offer is a most thought full and generous one and when accept ed and carried out it will result in q lasting memorial and blessing.
