How some of the scheming Demo-

howl, when they learn that Mayor
Holley. the Democratic chief execu-
tive of Charleston, has actually re-
instated colored man on the police
force of that city, and, this, too, in
the home city of that fellow George
Byrne, who aspired last year to Con-
gress and later to the leadership of
the Democratic party and goes in
and out among the people yelling for
la lily white party. But, they will
probably console themselves with the
idea that the colored fellow voted

Welded Wednesday.

There was a quiet but pretty
wedding Wednesday at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Jesse Brown,
several miles south o. this city,
when their daughter Miss Ella
was united in marriage to Hugh
McFadden. The ceremony was
performed at high noon, Rev. G.
H. Feese of the First Methodist
church officiating. Only the
family and a few intimate friends
were present. The bride was
prettily gowned in white.
Following congratulations, a
sumptuous wedding dinner was
enjoyed. The groom is a son of
Judge and Mrs. w. S. McFadden
and with his bride will reside in
Corvallis.

TRANSFER OF C. & E.
To Be Made Within Two Weeks
Interesting Facts.

Within two weeks the Corval-
lis and Eastern railroad will be
formerly taken over by the Har-
riman interests and operated by
officials chosen from the Harri-
man ranks, says the Oregonian.
A. B. Hammond, president of
the road, rendered his resigna-
ton at the meeting of the dir
ectors in Albany on Monday.
His successor has not yet been
elected but it is expected that J.
P. O'Brien, general manager of
the Hartman lines of the Pacific
Northwest, will be president of
the road. 1t is said that the Cor
wallis & Eastern will be operated
as a separate line and will re-
ia n it's name and individuality.
The date has not yet been set
for meeting of the directors to
choose the next president of the
road, but it is expected to take
place within the next two weeks.
At that time the property will
be formerly taken over.
1t is understood that G. W.
Talbot, now general manager
and treasurer of the c. & E.,
will be made vice president and
general manager, succeeding J..
K. Weatherford of Albany. Mr..
Talbot will probably retain his
Portland officers. ,. ...
J. A. Shaw is now secretary of
the road, and his successor has
not yet been decided uron. 1t is
probable that H. F. Connor or
w. R. Litzenberg, of w. w. Cot
toms staff of attorneys, will be
elected to that position.
The Corvallis & Eastern is 142
miles long. extending from va
quina, on Yaquina Bay to Idan-
ha, in the foothills Of the Cas-
cades, Connections are made at
Albany with the main line of the
Southern Pacific. The line op-

ger cars and 3O2 freight and mis-

The Aqe of Fishes.

The normal length of life of our
common small minnows rarely ex-
ceeds four or five years and may be
much shorter, but there are few sat-
isfactory observations on this point.
No general rule can be laid down re-
garding the age of fishes or the re-
lation between age and size. 1t is
known that the salmons Of the Pa
cifc coast, which enter the rivers in
such immense shoals, live to be four
or five years old and then invariably
die after once laying their eggs.
One japanese fish died when one
year old. On the west coast of Eu-
rope there occurs small fish which
is like an annual plant-that is, all
the individuals die each year and
only the eggs-i. e., the seed-re-
main to produce the next seasons
crop.-St. Nicholas

West Indian Negroes.

The West Indian negro is born
poacher. He catches the quail by the
cruel expedient of strewing finely pow
dered cayenne or bird pepper in the
little dust pits where the birds wash"
The burning powder gets into the eyes
of the birds, which, confused and help
less, are then easily caught. When he
wants a wholesale supply of fish, he
explodes a piece of dynamite, which
was probably intended for the making
OF new government roads, over hole
in a mountain stream, and the fish are
killed by the conclusion. But his ia
vorite resource is the bark of the dog
wood tree. This he drops into a river
hole, and the mullet, intoxicated,
comes to the surface of the water.
This singular property of the dogwood
has caused it to be employed as a mar
cotic.-Pearson's.

ATTRACTS ATTENTION.
Benton Livestock Show-What
An Editor Says.

An editorial in Tuesdays
Portland Journal under the capt
ion "Our States Own Field" is
|of general interest in Benton. It
saws:
The farmers of Benton county,
according to a dispatch, went
home from their county livestock
show at Corvallis declaring that
next year they will beat the
prize winners of this years show.
Therein is displayed striking evi-
dence OF the incompatible value
o. livestock shows in awakening
competition. The man who won
goes home determined to win
next year, and SO does the man
who lost.
The race for something better
is what lifted the primitive man
out of barbarism, and that, day
by day, carries forward the tri-
umphal car of civilization.
When there is an incentive for
better livestock, and when the
coE petition to produce it be-
comes keen, development of the
best is as sure to follow as that
day follows night.
What makes extraordinarily
beneficial results inevitable, is
that when the better animals are
involved, vastlv greater profits
must accrue to the husbaudmau.
A farmer at the Corvallis show
sold colt but a few weeks old
for 500. He knows now, and
mis- neighbor knows, that new
avenue to profit is open and that
it lies not in the broncho but in
the thoroughbred. 1t is con-
dition certain to result in new
energy, new study, and new in
spiration for new industry for
which Oregon has resources be-
You'd those of any other stat =.
The Willamette valley, which
grows prollfcally every product
known in the temperate zone, is
capable aloue of sustaining g.
600, 600 head of cattle. It is a
field that Osegon must get ready
to occupy, for she must largely
supply tine O,ient and Alaska,
and when the Panama canal is
opened a few years hence, Eu-
rope will lie .at her doors, and
will demand at large prices a
heavy portion of her horses and
export meats. -4 - .,

Couldn't Go the Last.

An Irishman had just come over
and, being hungry, went to one of
the swellest hotels in New York.
When the waiter appeared to take
his order he said, 'Bring me the
best you have"
After being gone a few minutes
the waiter returned with a glass Of
water, a bunch of celery and lob
ster. When about time to check
him up the waiter returned to the
customer, asking him why he had
not eaten his meal.
"Well," replied the man, SI drank
the water and smelled the bouquet,
but I'll be burned if I could go the
bug"

At recent meeting of eastern physl-
clans there was some very forcible talk
against the carelessness in spreading
tuberculosis germs among people. One
physician declared that ''don't kiss the
baby" sign should be displayed in every
home, to be strictly observed by number
less aunties, cousins and callers who
'iust must's give the newborn being q
few smacks. Another one of tie dele
gates said the kissing habit is as danger
oas as the house-fy in scattering the
lung disease, and he condemned the use
of carpets and the wearing of the long
skirts by women on the streets and in
public places. Still another DOCTOR was
bitter against the filthy condition of the
Pullman cars, which are "next to col
fins. s."-Ex.
The hurry and hustle, the worry and
rustic, the furry and hustle OF commence
ment week are things of the past. At
fairs are settling into the long unbroken
calm OF summertime. The tramp, tramp
of many studeat feet is heard no more,
and the echoes as they grow fainter and
fainter may be the last that Corvallis
will ever hear from some of those who
are leaving. The annual passing on of
the classes is in way pathetic: their
constant going is continual swapping
asunder of ties that to many mean more
than the word commencement" Yet,
knowing that without this steady, on
ward march there is no progress, we
could not wish it otherwise, and as the
last senior OF 'U7 waves a goodbye from
the the car window, Corvallis will forget
to mourn, and extend CHEEKY ''good-
bye.'

ENGLISH SCHOOLS.

The FIogging Custom and the Way
1t Is Regarded.
About corporal punishment in Eng
land two curious facts lie beyond dis
pute. One is that while the working
class and the lower middle class dis
like and resent it and will not in gen
eral allow their children to undergo 1t,
the aristocracy tolerate it without COM
plaint. The time is coming, one might
assert paradoxically, when it will be
impossible to fog anybody but the son
of a peer. And the other fact Is that
public school boys have often felt a
special affection for the masters who
have punished them most.
In Westminster abbey stand side
by side the tombs Of a master and his
pupil. The master was DR.. Busby,
who was head master of Westminster
school for so long time as fifty eight
years. Nobody ever fogged so many
boys as he. The pupil was the theo-
Logan, DR.. South. 1t is told-I am
sure the story is true-that when South
came as a small boy to Westminster
Busby greeted him with the ominous
words: 81 see great talents in that
sulky little boy, and my rod shall
bring them out" If so, he was no
doubt as good as his word. But when
South lay upon his deathbed it was
his last prayer to be buried at his old
masters feet, and the master and the
pupil now rest side by side.-Nine-
teenth Century.

Will Build Town.

A Eugene dispatch Wednes-

Honore, Palmer, the financial
head of the Storey-Bracher Lum-
ber Company, which will erect a
large sawmill a short distance
northwest of Eugene. has pur-
chased 100-acre farm from
Charles Severson, Immediately
adjoining the mill site, and it is
said that he will lay out a town
site there and either sell the lots
or build dwelling houses and rent
them to the employees of the
mill. The location is an ideal
one for a small town.
The Willamette Valley Co. will
probably build an electric line
from Eugene to the new mill and
village, when it is established.
The work of laying off the
grounds for the mill is now un-
der way, and actual construction
work will begin inside of two
weeks. The Southern Pacific
Company has made surveys for
side tracks from the main line to
mill site, and just as soon as
possible will send crew of men
here to construct them.
