MEASURE YOUR FIELDS.
Simple Continuance Which Will Make
the Task Easy.

I have used a simple continuance
for measuring my fields. 1t is much
better than a surveyors chain or tape
line, because it a be used by one
person. 1t is made Of a small hub
and spokes a little larger than lath,
says a writer in Farm and Home.
Make them of such size that n revo-
luton measures exactly a rod. This
is done by having each spoke 32h
inches locg.
The hub, b, is made of two cir
cular pieces of board one inch thick
and six inches in diameter bolted face

schools. There can be NJ dispute about
this, whatever. Peruna is composed Of
some Of the most ~eficacious and uni

Each one Of the principal ingredients
of Peruna has q reputation Of its own
in the cure Of some phase Of catarrh or
as a tonic medicine.
The fact is, chronic catarrh Is q dis.

thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh. They have visited doc.

that their case is Of chronic catarrh.
It may be Of the nose, throat, lungs,

OAC Day at State Fair.

Friday, the fifth day of the
great state fair at Salem, has been
set apart as Oregon Agricultural
College day and we would urge
our citizens to lay aside every
worldly care and show the off
cials of the fair association that
we appreciate the recognition
given our college, which is so
dear to the heart of every citizen
Of Corvallis.
Besides the large exhibit that
the Oregon Agricultural College
will make at the Oregon State
Fair, at Salem, September 14-19,
next, the officers of that institu-
ton have arranged to give the
fair visitors some special enter
tainment each day. Each after
noon the commodious auditori-
um adjoining the main pavilion
will be darkened and from it's
platform different members of
the faculty will give lectures, IL
lustrated by stereopticon views,
pertaining to their respective de-
partments at the college, all of
which have bearing on the ag-
ricultural industries of the state.
Friday, the fifth day Of the
fair, has been set aside as "Agri-
cultural College" day and spec
ial efforts will be made to have
this the most important occasion
Of the entire week. The Oregon
Agricultural College, has the
reputation of being one of the
leading educational institutions
on the Pacific Coast and it's par
ticipation in the program of the
fair shows that its president and
his co-workers fully appreciate
that the fair is a worthy cause
which has been a great factor
in the states development.

That Fire Alarm.

To THE EDIToR:-There has
been some adverse criticism of
the action of the operator for
the Telephone Company in con-
nection with giving the fire
alarm for "Wednesday nights
fire, and particularly by those
who were unable to obtain CEN
tral. It should be remembered
by the public that from 9 o'clock
at night until 6 in the morning
there is but one operator on
duty, and that when an alarm of
fire is turned in it is necessary
for the operator to give her en-
tire attention to the ringing of
the bell, which is accomplished
by a mechanism situated in the
central office. 1t is impossible
for her to operate this mechan-
ism and answer calls at the same
time. Subscribers are therefore
asked to be patient when calling
central in the night time when
an alarm of fire. is being given,
and to wait until the operator
has had an opportunity to finish
ringing the bell.
The operators instructions
are that she shall ring the bell
regardless of calls and not give
attention to her switchboard un-
til the alarm has been sufficient
ly given. She will then answer
calls as speedily as possible. In
this connection I would suggest.
that it would facilitate matters
if those who first arrive at the
City Hall while the bell is being
rung by the operator, would take
up the matter and ring the bell
from the hall. This would re-
lieve the operator and give her
an opportunity to answer calls,
thus informing patrons general
ly of the location of the fire.

A BEAUTIFUL WEDDING
Celebrated in Corvallis. Thursday
Evening.-CoI CoIbert-MaIlow.

Probably the most beautiful.
wedding of the year in Corvallis
was scelebrated Thursday evening
at the new home of the young
couple on Sixteenth street, when
Miss Olive Mallow became the
bride of Wallace Colbert of this
city. Every appointment was
perfect and all went merry as a
marriage bell.
A few moments before the ap-
pointed time, Mrs. Gertrude
Strange, Miss Lena Tartar and
Miss Winona Woodward sang a
very pretty trio, following which
Miss Woodward, at $50, went to
the piano and began the we'd
ding march. AS the music filled
the rooms, five little girls came
slowly down the. stairs. They
were little Marie and Gladys
Walgamott, nieces of the bride,
carrying yards of white ribbon
with which they formed an aisle
as they entered the parlor and
marched to a floral bower in one
corner. Next came two more
dainty little Misses, Ruth Wat
ters and Maureen McCausland,
flower girls, followed by Esther
Davis, ring bearer. Alone, be-
hind the ring bearer, came the
bride, beautifully gowned in an
exquisite costume of cream crepe
chiffon over silk, with veil, car
rying a shower bouquet of white
carnations and ferns. In the
floral bower of white and green
the bride was met by the groom,
and Rev. D.. H.. Leech Of the M
E. church performed the i'm
pressive ring ceremony.
- About 55 guests extended con-
gratulations and partook of the
sumptuous two-course dinner
that followed. The bride tossed
her bouquet and it was caught
by Miss Frances Belknap. The
ring in the brides cake fell to
the lot of Miss Callie Howe. In
spring music was furnished
throughout the evening by the
Misses Inez Johnson and Vino
na Woodward.
The decorations were elaborate
and beautiful, the parlor being
in green and white and the din
ing room in pink and white
sweet peas and festoons of satin
ribbon. Many handsome and
costly presents were received by
the happy couple.
Mr.. and Mrs. Colbert are both

too well and fayorably known to
need introduction to the public
at this time. Both are Corvallis
young people who number their
friends by the score, and the
hearty good wishes Of all are ex-
tended at this time.
They left Thursday evening
by automobile for Albany, en-
route to Portland, and from
there they are to go to either
California or Washington on
wedding trip. They will reside
in their recently completed home
on Sixteenth street, in Corvallis.

oAc BOARD OF REGENTS
Buy Twenty Acres to Clear Col-
Iege Way.-WiIl Pay
Nearly 100000.

An important meeting of the
Regents Of the Oregon Agricul-
tural College was held today at
the office of w. W. Cotton. The
board met for the purpose of ar
ranging to purchase 20 acres Of
land which has been for long
time a hindrance to the progress
and development of that institu-
ton. The state of Oregon has
elected that the agricultural col
lege shall be located at Corvallis
but when the site was selected
for the erection of the buildings
title could not be secured to all
of the lands contained within
the tract settled upon. Numer-
GUS imposing and costly build
ings have been constructed and
between the buildings were lands
owned by private citizens. The
meeting today decided to pur-
chase these, says Thursdays
Evening Telegram. The state
will pay from $1,000 to $4,000 an
acre.
President J. K. .Weatherford,
of the board Of regents, arrived
in the city at noon. He said:
"The agricultural college is in.
splendid condition. We will
have from 1900 to 5000 students
next year and to accommodate
them weswill be compelled to
ask for an addition to the ad-
ministration building, but that
matter will be taken up at a later
meeting. We will complete the
new agricultural building by
October LIST and have enough
money to complete an addition
to this building. I note that the
good roads conference recon-
mended that the college estab-
lish chair Of road building ip.
connection with our engineering
department. We have had such
a chair for some time, but we
will intensity its usefulness by
employing more skilled assist
ants"
Those in attendance at the
meeting were Governor Cham
berlain, State Superintendent of
Public Instruction J. III. Acker-
man, President Buxton, of the
State Grange, and Regents J. T.
Apperson, Oregon City; W. P.
Ready, Poi ltland; J. D. Olwell,
