Dan J. Kelly, the famous Ore
gon athlete, won second place in
the broad jump at the Olympic
games in London, July 22nd.
First place was won by Irons,
another American, who broke
the old Olympic record by leap
OF a feet 5 inches in the prelim-
lnaries. Kelly was hindered in
his work by an old injury in one
OF his legs, causing weak iga-
| ment.
A picnic was given by the
girls of the class of 'O5, OAC, on
Tuesday evening in honor of
Miss Bessie Yates of Vancouver,
member of the class, who has
been the guest of friends in
Corvallis. Ten girls participated
in the affair, nine of whom re-
side in this city. They are: Mrs.
Lucille Roberts-Buxton and the
Misses Bessie Yates, Lura Flett,
Mary Danneman, Edna Osburn,
Maybelle Ready, Georgia Her
bert, Alice Jones, Lena Tartar
and Hazel Raber. A splendid
time is reported.
1t certainly seems that there
could not be found a better in
vestment for idle capital in Cor
Wallis at the present time than to
put it into new dwelling houses.
There is great and increasing
demand for dwellings, mainly of
the 5 or 6 room class. People are
coming in from every direction
to make their homes here, and it
seems almost impossible for them
to secure dwellings. There are
many in course of erection, to be
sure, but nearly all are rented
long before completion.
The Albany Democrat has the
following items of Corvallis in
terest: Mrs. Samuels, sister of
Mrs. William Fortmiller, and

Mabel, Lane county, to Corval-
lis to reside. Mr.. Samuels, who
is saw mill man, interested in
the mill at Mabel, is also inter-

1t will be seen that the above
subjects lead along agricultural,
industrial and mechanical lines.
Those who rush to the conclusion
that in an agricultural college
is to be taught except
those branches which qualify one
% plow, sow and reap from the
soil, are mistaken. The law re-
lulres branches to be taught
which qualify the pupil, not only
With a perfect knowledge of
agriculture, but also of the me- ,
,hanic arts, which embodies
quite if not nearly all of the in =,
lustrial and mechanical lines.
1t will be seen, however, by
lose study of the branches above

lies of the two schools can be
made, the one taking the scien- I

ly without organized relief, for the
reason that the soldiers, the police, the
doctors and nurses by the hundreds
were either buried or drowned.
The first work of rescue was per
formed by volunteers from ships IN
the harbor and groups of heroic sur
vivors, who at great labor and per-
sonal danger extricated many persons
pinioned beneath the wreckage.
Need Doctors and Nurses
Messina's crying need today is for
doctors, nurses, food and firemen TO
combat the flames that still raVage
the city.
Doctors, nurses and firemen are be
ing hurried into the wrecked city, but
the lack of food and water makes the
rescue work difficult.
The Russian and British warships at
Messina have sent crews ashore and
the vessels have been transformed into
hospitals.
All the hospitals in Catania are
crowded and even the schools have
been turned into infirmaries.
The less seriously injured of the sur
vivors at Messina are being dispatched
by the dozens to Palermo.
Minister of public Works Bertolin1
has arrived at Messina and organized
several corps of volunteers for rescue
WbIh.
It is asserted that half the fatalities
occurred because it was quite impos-
sible for the survivors to render
prompt assistance Not the least of
the suffering was caused by the down
pour of cold rain.
Some of the refugees from Messina
passed through San Giovanni Palmi,
Scilla, Cannitello, Favizzani and Bag
nara and found most of the towns de-
stroyed A boat moored at one of the
docks seemed suddenly to be thrown
high in the air.
It landed on top of the dock and was
left hanging there by the receding wa
ter. This was the first intimation to
the crew that anything had happened.
The captain said a huge cloud of
dust obscured the city The captain
and his men landed and tried to make
their way into the city, but the fallen
buildings and the twisted streets made
progress impossible.

RULERS OF ITALY AID
IN WORK OF RESCUING
EARTHQUAKE VICTIMS

CATANIA, Dec. SO-King Victor
Emmanuel and Queen Helena, who ar
rived at Messina today, Immediately
joined a rescue party and labored as
unremittingly as the others.
The king personally extricated sew
eral injured persons pinned under the
ruins.
The queen devoted her attention
principally to little-children. She res
cued with her own hands S-year-od
boy, who was bleeding from many
cuts and bruises.
She herself carried him to the dock,
where she handed him to members of
the hospital corps.
At the dock were many small boats
sent to take the wounded out to ships
in the harbor. Every available steamer
in port has been fitted as a temporary
hospital.
People wept from emotion when they
saw the king and queen of Italy come
to them.
Women threw kisses to her majesty.
Both were practically carried up the
pier in the arms of their subjects.
The presence of the king has acted
as a general inspiration. Even the
wounded found fresh strength when
they learned officially that his majesty
had come among them.
An aged man who had been aban-
doned under beam that apparently
had crushed out his life revived for a
moment at the shouts of greeting to
the royal pair He stretched out his
hands and raised his head long enough
to call out: "Now L can die happy"
Long live the king!" he shouted,
and then fell back. and expired.
An overpowering stencil is beginning
to arise from the ruins of Messina.
Ten thousand soldiers will be required
to bury the dead there.
1t was learned today that General
Coli lost his life at Messira.

CABLEGRAM DECLARES
AT LEAST $4,000 ARE
DEAD; PROBABLY MORE

ROME, Dec. 3O.-The arthquake which
has devastated the italian depart
ments of Calabria and Sicily mas
wrought the greatest tragedy which
ever has befallen the Christian world.
Its measure cannot be calculated.
1t is known in general terms that out
of a population of 1,75O,0OO IN the de-
vastated area at least $4,000 persisted.
Latest reports received here state
that 1000 soldiers in the various bar
racks at Messina were buried under the
ruins.
This makes no account of a dozen
towns near the center of the disturb
ance whence no word comes and where
there is only too good reason to fear
that there are no survivors to describe
their fate.
The destruction of property cannot
be as great as at San Francisco, for
Messina and Reggie, the two principle
cities destroyed, were not rich nor
magnificent, from the metropolitan
point of view.

NINETY AMERICANS IN
COLLAPSED HOTEL AT
MESSINA, SAYS CABLE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-Ninety
Americans were in the Messina hotel
that was destroyed, and Italians and
Americans are cooperating in the
quest for information regarding the
missing. A cablegram reached tne
state department today from AIhpassa-
dor Griscom at Rome.
The ambassador cabled that he has
received no word from the American
consuls at Messina and Palermo. lie
has asked the foreign office for infor-
nation. and that office, he adds, VIII
use every effort through army ana
navy officers to obtain definite news.
The British consul at Messina is re-
ported injured and his wife and chill
dren dead. The ambassador says 1t IS
reported ninety Americans were in the
Trinacria hotel at Messina, when is
said to be totally destroyed.
1t is known, however, that some Oh
the guests escaped.
The foreign office reported that sew
eral foreign nations are hurrying war
ships to the scene to offer assistance.
The ambassador has dispatched con-
sular officers in quest of information.
Every effort is being made by the
state department to obtain news of
American citizens who were in the
earthquake zone.
Ordered to Send Consuls
Ambassador Griscom at Rome was
directed to cable promptly any infor-
nation obtainable and to send some of
the American consuls in Italy to the
scene of distress to render whatever
aid possible.
Efforts also are being made to keep
in communication with Deputy Consul
Lupton at Messina TO the end that
prompt advices may reach here regard
ing any Americans in trouble.
The state department announced
that it will give promptly to the press
any information received from it's Of
ficials in Italy. The departments in
formation is that the winter tourist
season has not yet fully begun in
Sicily.
The impression among officials is
that those Americans who were in the
earthquake zone in that island were
mainly at Taormina.
Many inquiries have come to the de-
partment regarding friends believed to
be in the earthquake region. In addi-
ton to those already announced those
inquired about include the following:
Mrs. Martha c. Kittredge, lher two
daughters, Ethel and Clarissa, and
Miss Margaret Mendell, all of Brook
lyn, Mass, and all of whom are at
Taormina; Miss Blanche Kane of
Philadelphia, whose probable where
abouts in the disturbed district are not
stated, and David Sessums. Protestant
Episcopal bishop of Louisiana, be-
lieved to be at Messina.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-12-31

sina branch of the Bank of Italy,
amounting to Sc, ZOO, 900, has been saved
and is aboard an Italian warshfp.
The rescuers at Messina are rapidly
becoming exhausted. The fires have
not yet been put out and there is no
water with which to combat the flames.
Many of the people still refuse to
leave the ruins of their homes.
They cling to the sites of their houses,
crying out that their only safety is in
fidelity to the wreckage. Force is
often necessary to get them to the
ships in the harbor.
Large numbers in the suburbs of
Messina will not come back into the
city for fear of a recurrence OF the
shocks.
A dispatch received here from Deputy
Felice at Messina says:
Appeals for Rescuers
"Organize a squad of volunteers for
rescue work. Send us food, for we are
dying of hunger. number of the sur
vivors are leaving today for Catania.
Receive them with love and frater-
nifty. 1t is the duty of every family
in Catania to shelter family from
Messina.'
Only two members of the municipal
council of Messina survived the disas-
ter.
The bluejackets from the Russian
warships at Messina have performed
valorous services.
They risked their lives recklessly in
the work of extricating the wounded.
Hospitals have been improvised in the
railroad station, which is partially
standing, in another building and on
board the steamer Reina Margherlta'
but these are already full.
A roll call of the Eighty-ninth infan-
trv reveals the fact that there are only
ten survivors.

vivor of his family, became crazed
