The sextette was recalled and re-
sponded. Then came the ad-
lJournment to the Taylor hall
where ,he banquet was held.
The hall was beautifully de-
fcorated with fes oons of purple
and white crepe paper and elk
horns and in the front of the
room large elk head was sur
mounted by an illuminated pur-
pie and white placard on which
appeared in large letters s.B. P.
o. E."
Three tables extended the full
length of the hall, laden with
many delicacies and presenting a
very tempting appearance. The
menu Included oysters, salad,
pickles, olives, bread and butter,
celery, turkey and other meats,
ice cream, cake, coffee and fruit.
Hon. J. K. Weatherford was
toastmaster, and toasts were re-
sponded to by Prof. J, B. Horner,
James VanWinkle, Carl Stebiu-
ger, Fred Dawson aud w. H.
Burgraf. Prof. Falton also
sang solo that was much appre-
ciated.
The banquet was served by J.
B. Marvin of tine Com nercial
restaurant and was certainly a
credit to his skill. :

out the state, in several PORTIONS
of which he had resided.
Mr.. Williams was born ia
East Tennessee in 1896, where he
lived until 1874, when he moved,
with his parents, to Missouri.
He remained in Missouri only
one year, when he came to Ore
gon, settling in Polk County.
In 1852 he went to Salem, where
h lived, with the exception of a
few years spent in Tacoma, until
10 wears ago, when he removed
to Portland.
Mr.. Williams was married in
1847 to Miss lydia King,
member OF one of the best known
pioneer families in the state.
Kin Valley, in Benton County,
was named after her father. and
A N. King, founder of Kings
Addition to Portland, was her
brother. Mrs. Williams is still
living, as are also son and a
daughter, Lafayette Williams of
lewiston, Idaho, and Mrs. Lena
w. Mccoy OF Seattle. Mr.. Will
liams made his home in Portland
at 66o Hoyt street.
The 'uneral will be held at
chapel this afternoon at
3 o'clock. The remains will be
sent to Salem for interment.

WHAT He THINKS.
OF OAC-SaIem Bank Cashier
Gives Opinions.

Joseph H. Albert has returned
from Corvallis where he attended
the farmers short course of the
Agricultural College and is bub-
bling over with enthusiasm and
praise of the splendid work-being
done there both in the regular
college and the 'short course"
44e says the two weeks training
in up-to-date methods of making
money Oh the farm is worth 1903
of anv farmers money and 1t is
surprising that there were not
4ooo instead of 40 farmers in at
tendance. One great point upon
which the people of O:egon are
to be congratulated is that Dr..
Withycombe remained at the
Agricultural College instead of
becoming gov rnor of Oregon, as
anyone can be governor, but few
could do such grand work as he
is doing there, and few positions
offer such opportunities for doing
good as that of director of exper-
iment station at Corvallis, says the
Oregon Statesman of Salem.
The short coulse proper lasted
two weeks, but the cours in
dairying covers six weeks, and
about halt of those in attendance
will remain until the close of the
long course. Mr.. Albert reports
a splendid time and regrets that
he did not go prepared to remain
for the !entire course. He is no
longer interested in creameries
in Salem, but has similar inter-
ests in Idaho and besides is him
self considerable of a farmer at
heart, and would not be cp posed
to taking up. that vocation, should
occasion arise.
While in Corvallis he stopped
at Cauthorn hall, the boys club
house, where splendid board and
rooms with e.ectric light and
heat are furnished for $3 per
week. He says it is simply i'm
mense and that where a little
money will buy SO much aud
there are such opportunities for
earning money, there is no ex-
cuse for any boy not securing the
best education in the land, as
there can be nothing to excel
that offered by the OAC, and a
boy who would not make a sue
cess of life after four years
course at Corvallis, has no posi-
BILE hope of success in life. Mr..
Albert joined IN the college life
OF the boys at the hall even so
! far that an attempt was made to
put him in the bath tub on the
eve of his departure. However,
he was saved an extra bath by
disappearing sooner than was ex.
pected. It might be said in ex.
planation that a sousing in the
) dormitory bath tub is popula,

CLOVER AND HOGS.
Money IN Raising Then-L. l
Brooks Letter Concluded.

I believe this is one of the best
countries in which to make
money out Of clover and hogs.
Pigsfcan come any time of the
wear, and no trouble at all.
Grow them On clover and alfalfa
pastuve and artichokes and then
finish Sout with ground vetch'
screening or wheat, the last four
weeks before putting them into
the market.
In Iowa they claimed the
younger a hog could be put on
the market the more money was
made, as it was a shorter time to
feed. I know of several bands
that were sold last year weighing
900 to $50 pounds at nine months
old.
l believe here they should be
grown on the clover and alfalfa
pasture till they have a large
frame, then keep them still Oh
green pasture and have a dry,
clean place for them to go in and
eat ground feed, at the last end
of the feed, which will harden
the pork and make it solid. I
find these black Russian oats
when ground, fatten nearly
equal with wheat. To make
that more plain, after the hull has
been taken off the oats it is near
ly as large as grain of wheat
and twice as long. In fielding
out your hogs plan to put them
on the market at the time same
are the highest, just ahead of the
stubble hogs, or late in the win
ter when prices are high like the
present and prospects bright for
more. -.: .-...
I still advocate feeding every
thing grown on the farm. The
farm will grow better every year.
have purchased a manure
spreader, and expect to feed near
lily 200 tons of hay on my farm
this winter and use the straw
stack in way so the cattle will
have it in manure to spread on
the farm this spring.
Raise :more cattle, sheep, hogs
and horses; they are all profit
able. This farm six years age
would only raise from 10 t. II
bushels of wheat an acre ane
summer fallow at that. Now the
best patches of red clover go four
tons per acre, and I do not sum
mer failow either.
i Ole thing more, in sowing
clover I would advise sowing
rape with it, as it does not in
lure the clover and it makes 81
much better sheep and hog pas
ture the first year.
1 l am often asked why wen
into the seed business, and tn
reason is that when I used to ad
vocate more paving ways of farm
ing than raising wheat. I foup
that it was nearly impossible t
purchase pure seed. Some

WEATHERFoRD WON.
In Local nryoat at OAc Friday
Evening Prizes and Orators.

At the college armory last Fri.
day evening occurred an event
which will be long remembered
by those who availed themselves
Of the opportunity of attending
The event was the local ora
torical contest, held each year
for the purpose of choosing two
orators to represent OAC in the
interstate oratorical contest and
the state oratoricat contest r, :
spectively.
Ten contestants entered the
"try-out" and adjectives of the
superlative decree only will ex-
press how we'll they did credit to
themselves, to their societies,
and the student body. 1t is a
rare occurrence, indeed, that one
can listen to ten orations partak-
ing Of higher literary excellence,
depth of thought, or originality
of theme. Should the orations of
next year pass the standard es-
tablished by those in the late con-
test, William Jennings Bryan
could, with good reason, doubt
his right to the title Of "Boy Or
ator.''
The persons who judged the
contest are DR.. A. G. Schmitt,
President H. M. Crooks of Al
bany College, and James Van
Wrinkle of Albany, and Mrs. B.
F. Irvine, R. J. Nichols, and Pro-
fessor L. B. Baldwin Of this city.
Their decisions were well re-
ceived by all concerned, and
speak well of their abilities in
judging such contests.
First prize was given to Mark
V. Weatherford, representing
the Jeffersonian society, his ora
tion being, Patriotism par Ex-
cellence." Besides a gold med
al valued at $40 and a cash prize
of SIS, Mr.. Weatherford will
have the honor Of representing
OAC in the Interstate Oratorical
Contest to be held in this city
next April 26.
Second prize was given to John
G.. Schroeder, who represented
the student body, his oration be-
ing, ''The Twentieth Century
Spirit. In payment for his eff
forts, Mr.. Schroeder received a
cash prize of SO and a silver
medal valued at Sc besides the
honor Of representing OAC in
the state oratorlcal contest to be
held in McMinnville next March
9th. Mr.. Schroeder's final av-
erage was LII less than that OF
Mr.. Weatherford.
Third place was won by Miss
Belle Bonney who represented
the Sorosis society. The contest
between Mr.. Schroeder and Miss
Bonney was very close she be-
ing only .O9 of a point behind
him in the fual average. Her
subject was "a Self Sacrificing
Woman.
The other contestants who took
part and who certainly deserve
honorable mention were Forrest
Ivanhoe, Floyd Rowland, Letha
Richard, Helen Gilkey, Bertha
King, A. Rex Barnett, and Har'
old Bell. ...,

the railroads to find a standard steel
rail that will safely bear the weight
and incident strain imposed upon it by
the modern locomotive, are bearing
fruit. The American Railway associa-
ton has been investigating the subject
to determine whether a more satisfac-
tory rail could be made, and in this tire
steel manufacturers have co-operated
The railway company which has had
the matter in hand reported progress
at the semi-annual convention of the
association here today. The committee
agreed on the advisability of an i'm
provement in rail sections, which would
afford a definite distribution of metal
between the head and base of the rail
and develop a homogeneous condition
of metal by cooling simultaneously.
This was approved by the association,
and also were technical suggestions re-
garding the method of rolling rails.
The association instructed the COM
mittee TO continue its inquiry on these
disputed features of rail making. G. L.
Peck of the Pennsylvania railway,
chairman of the committee, stated that
the committee had conferred with the
American Society of Civil Engineers
and had inspected the principal rail
making plants in the country. While
satisfied that a rail answering all pur-
poses would be found, he said that on
the question of discard from the ingot
the committee had discovered a wide
difference of opinion.
