THE HOME CIRCLE.
A NEW DANGER TO RAILWAY
 SHIPPERS,
[FRoM LEsLIE's WEEKLY

Can the public deal fairly with rail-
 road or an industrial corporation
 while the whole country is under the
 influence of an outbreak of SocialiStic
 hySteria? Chancellor Day, of the
 Syracuse University, has been aSSailed for daring to criticise the recent yer dict of Federal court in Chicago against the Standard Oil Company. This company was found guilty of ac- cepting rebates from the Alton rail- road, covering over thousand ship
 ments and making it liable to a fine of
 from $1, 800, ,OOO to $50, ,O0O, ,OOO. There
 were about four hundred more counts
 in the indictment, which the court
 felt obliged, at the very outset, to strike out, because of lack of proof or mistakes Every shipper in the United States and every thoughtful, fair minded man engaged in any business enterprise, should take the trouble to understand the facts of this case and
 udge whether or not Chancellor Day
 was justified in his caustic criticism of terest in this matter, because he may some day become the victim of sim i, ilary unfortunate circumstance.
 The Standard Oil had been shipping oil from Whiting to East St Louis
 over the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railway at the legal rate of six and ] one quarter cents per hundred pounds. It was also shipping over the Burling- ton Road at the same rate. It could rate over these lines. The Alton sought some of the traffic, and offered to take it on the same basis as the com pany was paying the Chicago anC ] Eastern Illinois, and on this basis the
 rate on the Alton was six cents pei

 Housatonic. As he moved up the line
 he made his home at George Warmers,
 then with MT Durgy at Judd's Bridge and MT Titus at Washington Depot. He continued on the job four months and Il days or till the trackwas all laid. A year after this MT Pope returned to the Shepaug valley and sold sewing machines. When the New York & New him out to do carpenter work and for
 many months he was kept busy build | ing derricks MT Pope labored at wag- on making for several years, and seemed to have the faculty to turn his hand at anything. MT Pope had con-

Ca.iahan's Sidewalk.

1t is not often that a little
strip Of new sidewalk sets an
e ,5lre town agog with gossip,
but such has been the case in.
Corvallis since Tuesday morning.
Sometime ago the city council
passed an ordinance establishing
the boundaries Of a 'Fconcrete
sidewalk district" =" which ordi-
nance made it unlawful to build
any but concrete walks within
said district, or to even repair
board walks. Down in front of
the new skating rink there was
All old walk hardly in keeping
with the appearance of the new
rink, observing which Peter
Callahan. who owns the lots on
which the rink stands, began
Monday to have built a new
board walk along the north side
of the lots. Mr.. Callahan was
Immediately notified by Chief
Lane to suspend operations as it
was violation of the concrete
walk ordinance. and Mr.. Gala
han called in his men and appar-
emily decided to abide by the
law. Between that time and
eight o'clock next morning, how
ever, the sidewalk was all laid
and is still in place. When and
by whom the work was done no
one knows, but it was built, law
or no law.
Just what the outcome Of the
case will be is uncertain, but it
seems likely that the matter w i'll
now rest until the next meeting
of the council. The final act in
the play will be awaited with
more than passing interest in
Corvallis, as on its adjustment
hangs the question of whether
or not Corvallis makes laws to be
enforced or only for the sake of
appearances.

Dowie's Sermon.

The late Alexander Dowie
wrote his own funeral sermon
about six weeks before his death.
This sermon has just been given
out for publication and the final
paragraps are full of a spirit that
is hardly in Eeeping with the
command, "Love thine enemies"
for the fallen high priest says:
81 shall return and with ruth
less hands shall I exterminate the
vipers and the dogs of hell that
now hold the high places in the
City of Zion. rrhey dreamed and
in the grossness of their dreams
they thought they had prevailed
over the first apostle. And now,
priests and elders of Zion, I shall
return and strike We down.
II shall return in another
form brighter and more beautiful
and 10, 900 times more terrible,
to cut ye off in the midst of your
sins and to win back Z:on for the
truth and tor them that held to
the word and did no evil"

Phenomenon at Hood River.

Something that is considered
most remarkable by fruit grow
ers here, says dispatch from
Hood River, is the discovery that
apples which have been allowed
to lie on the ground ali winter
have not been injured by the
cold weather during the past
months and are practically as
good as the day they dropped
from the trees. The apples are
seconds, and, owing to the fact
that they were slightly bruised by
contact With the ground, they
were not considered 6t for ship
ment. They were left to lie un-
til the snow came, which covered
them up and acted as natural
cold storage. In the middle val
lev the snow is just commencing
to disappear and the fruit during
the past few days has become ex-
posed to view. Visitors from the
city and also abroad have brought
many of them to town, where
they are being exhibited as curios-
tiles. Growers account for the
phenomenon by the fact that
there was no frost in the ground.

Quotes the Senator.

While Senator A. J. johnson
will not admit it in so many
words, he will endeavor to have
his slaughtered good roads bill
passed over the veto of Governor
Chamberlain when the legisla
ture convenes in 1909.
Its long way ahead" re-
marked the senator, who is in
Portland on business, "and re-
member there are 80 members
in the house, even though the
senate should favor refusing to
sustain the veto.
Since the Governor vetoed
the bill there has been much
complaint in the Willamette
Valley, at his action. There is a
pressing need for good roads and
this measure would have been of
great benefit in helping the state
have good highways, since it
would have extended state aid,
the state paying one-third the
cost of improvement. Governor
Chamberlain himself said that
this was the best system. He
made the statement in Corvallis
before the meeting of the legis-
! lature.
What do you suppose induced
the Governor to veto the bill?
''Politics and desire to make a
grandstand play,' replied the
senator. Tuesdays Telegram

Received Their Medals.

The cross country run has be-
come an annual event among the
OAC sports and it requires men
of rem arkable endurance to sue
cecssully compete for prizes or to
make even a fair showing in the
race. A four mile run over hill
and level, means a terrible strain
on the man performing the stunt
and that it has been done in
little more than 27 minutes out
at OAC, shows that there is good
material in the bunch of fellows
that won Out in the recent
event.
The winners by classes in the
first run were: Senior class,
Spires; Juno, DaVoll; Sophie
more, Totten; Freshman, Cross.
These became not only class
represen atives but candidates for
honors in the final run which was
pulled of a week ago. In the
final event DaVolt won first place
and Cross second, and Tuesday
morning in chapel Prof. Berch-
old in an appropriate speech pre-
sented the gold medals to the two
winners. The medals are very
pretty and bear the words, ''OAC
Cross Country" together with
name, date and the class of which
the winner is a member.
The young men may well be
proud of their hard-earned tro-
| plies.

OAC Baseball Nine.

Out at OAC every evening
there is a bunch of about 2S
young 'shuskies" at hard prac-
tice, each one trying his pretsiest
to win "a position on the OAC
baseball nine that will this season
represent the college in this line
of sport. Heretofore there has
been no regular team at the iu-
stitution but Prof. F. c. Nc
Reynolds has been engaged as
coach for this year and it is the
intention to put out an aggrega-
ton that will be able to keep up
the reputation of the college from
the beginning to the end of the
season. Coach McReynolds
states that he has an abundance
of excellent material from which
to select nine, and that all who
are practicing are making an ex-
cellent showing in the variou,
b0oASASaos
New suits are expected to ar
rive soon. They will be maroon,
with orange Jerseys and hose,
and the OAC monogram on the
sweaters. These will certainly
be very attractive aud will slim
ulate an interest aud pride in
the sport on the part of the play
ers.
While the first team has not
been officially announced, it is
understood that the personnel
and positions will be as follows:
Todd, pitcher; Wolfe, catcher;
center field, Moore, short stop,
Murray; right field, "Dugau"
Rooper; left field, Bilyeu; 1st
base, Beatty; 2nd base, Swami;
3rd base, Jones.
Among others who are max
ing record at pitching are Roop-
er and Brague, and there is
other good material for several
other positions, which makes the
6ual selection for first team hon.
ors a matter of some doubt as yet
even to Coach McReynolds.
