''The Bonnie Briar Bush" Comiug.

Ian MaClaren's S beautiful Scottish
idyl, "The Bonnie Briar Bush
with the original Kirke La Shelle
production, will be the extraordin-
a1y attraction at the Opera House
on Friday, March 18th. A home
ly, simple heart story of Aud
Scotland" interpreted by a company
of recognized artists. This is the
first time that this play has been
given outside of the larger cities,
and the management is extremely
fortunate in securing the same for
Corvallis. Those who had the
privilege of enjoying the perform
ance of Kerry Cow" will be
glad to know that "The Bonnie
Briar Bush is one of the same
character, and is fully as good, if
not better play.

SPRAY BEST IN PARAMOUNT.
But One Fourth Of Bezson Orchards
Have been Treated Time now
For Second Spraying.

There is considerable activity in
the county with reference to
spraying. In Fairmount in par
ticular, it is said all orchards are
receiving treatment. There the
interest of farmers in cleaning up
their orchards is more marked than
in any other part of the county.
Incidentally, it is worthy of re-
mark that as whole the farmers
in that section are the thriftlest in
the county. There are other sec
ticns however. in which orchards
are being treated. The intorma-
ton is that those most neglected
are in the vicinity of Corvallis
and Philomath. That, at least,
is what the fruit inspector says.
! 1t is now time for the second
spraying for San Jose scale. A
great many complaints are coming
in to the inspector in which neigh.
bors request that owners be re-
qulred to treat adjoining orchards
that are affected with scale and
other diseases. Farmers can do
this and it is the duty of the in
spector to examine the affected
orchards aud report the same to
the commissioner with the usual
result that the orchards must be
treated or be cut down. The
presence of affected orchards near
those cleaned up, is detrimental
and it is the policy of the law to
require all such to be treated.
1t is estimated that thus far. only
one fourth of the orchards in the
county have been sprayed. Fifty
to IS thousand dollars worth oi
wormy apples according to the
estimate, were allowed 10 rot or
the ground in Benton county last
year. 1t is also estimated that
! IS, 900 spent in spraying woulc
have saved and made them market
abe.

MORE ENDOWMENT NOW.
For OAC-Federal Congress Increases
Maintenance to Fifty Thousand.

Dispatches from Washington re.
late that congress has increased
the annual endowment of OAC
from $4,000 to $50, 900 year.
Information is meagre, but as it ap-
pears, $5, ooo is to be available this
year, aud each year hereafter an
additional FIVE thousand is to be
added for FIVE years when the total
maintenance fund will be ESQ, 900
instead of the $4,000 at which it
now stands. The new endowment
is known as the Morrill, fund. 1t
can be spent only for salaries of in
structor and such courses of study
as are provided for by the federal
law. No part of it can be spent
for plant, equipment, new build
ings or repairs of buildings. The
instruction provided for. is agri-
culture, mechanical engineering,
electrical engineering. civil engin-
eering, mining engineering. and
other applied sciences, mathematics
and the English language. The
fund had its beginning in 1886
when Senator Morrill, secured the
settling aside by congress of grants
of lands for establishment of scien,
tifc education in the various states
which became known in the main
as agricultural colleges, though
some of them are called universities
others, industrial schools, while
in Pennsylvania, Iowa, Washing
ton aud perhaps in other state:
they are called state colleges
About $4,000 to $I2. 900 is avail
able each year from interest arising
from the sale of these lands. The
new endowment now Increasing the
sum to $50, 900, at which it will
stand for five years hence, is the
history up to the present Of the
scientific schools OF which OAC
is one and of which tue late Sena
tor Morrill, was the -sightec
founder.

ALONE AND ASLEEP.
In the Farm House When the Tramp
Came in Through Window
Mrs. Sharp.

Here is story of tramp and a
plucky Benton county woman. It
tells how he climbed into the farm
house window while she was alone
and asleep the other afternoon, and
of the sequel that resulted from his
boldn ess.
She is Mrs. F. NJ. Sharp. Her
home is on the farm what used to
be the School farm at Granger.
Her husband was ploughing In a
field some distance from the house,
and the hired man was busy in an
other part of the farm She locked
all the doors and in the midafler-
noon lay down for rest. She fell
asleep, but after some time became
conscious that window was being
raised. In little while afterward
she heard footsteps in an adjoining
room. Her first thought was that
it might be the hired man on sr
errand, but the stealthi1ess Of the
step soon Convinced her differently.
1t was naturally moment OF ter
ror, but Mrs. Sharp did not lose
her presence OF mind. On the con-
trary, with a boldness much to her
| credit, she at once laid siege to the
! intruder. She advanced quietly
into the room from whence the toot-
falls had proceeded, and there on
the easement Of the door Of the
closet, was the hand of d man. He
stood inside the closet with the
door partly closed. With the other
hand he was apparently rummag'
ing about in the closet.
What are you doing there?"
she demanded coolly. The voice
startled the intruder SO completely
that he was for q moment thunder
struck. He stepped quickly
out of the closet and his ap-
pearance at once disclosed that he
was tramp. He was young, ap-
parently not more than 20 years
of age.
"T am looking for something to
eat'' was his reply. "You are 60
ing about it in a peculiar way"
she answered and with the word
she ordered him to get out of the
house. Go out the way you came ,
she rhundered, and apparently.
Convinced that she had to
be obeyed, the youth pitched him
self out of the window, and alighted
running. He cleared the yard
fence like deer and disappeared
down the road at full spesd.
Ofcou1se. Mr.. Sharp, ploughing
in the field, was at once sum moned
He returned with his wife to the
house, and the neighbors were no
tilted. They watched for the tramp
to reappear, but the vigil was
truitIess. He didn't want to take
any more chances in invad ing farm
houses that were apparently desert
ed, and where he had hoped to
search at his leisure. He had en-
countered one Benton farmer s
wife; and that was enough. He
probably went into theriver bottom
where his flight was oSscured from
possible pursuers.
