SHEPARD HALL COMPLETED
Formal Opening Set for Jsnu-
ary Eighth.

/ After five years of indefatig-
able effort and earnest labor,
Shepard Hall is finally complet-
ed and will be formally opened
! and placed at the disposal of the
IOAC student body on Friday,
January eighth.
This event has long been
looked forward to and will be
appropriately celebrated by a
reception and inspection of the
building during the afternoon
and by specially prepared pro-
gram of exercises at the Armory
in the evening.
The decorations for this open
ing event will be both unique
and elaborate, each society in
the college preparing its own
room tor the festive occasion,
while committees made up from
the various societies will act as
hosts to receive the guests. There
will be music to enliven the
hours and refreshments will be
served in the banquet room.
Shepard Hall is the first build
ing OF its kind to be erected by
the students of any college on
the Pacific Coast, thus placing
OAC in the lead in project of
this character. It is named in
loving remembrance of Clay.
bourne Shepard, who, during
his college course, was foremost
in Y. M. C A. work and whose
earnest efforts in behalf of start
ing the building made its pres
ent successful completion a pos
sibility.
The cost of construction has
been borne by the students, aid
ed by liberal contributions from
the faculty, the generous people
of Corvallis and friends Of the
institution. It is a monument
to faithful work and untiring
purpose and will long endure as
an illustration Of what can be
accomplished by unanimity of
action and hearty liberality.

Gamblers Gathered In.

Chief of Police Wells, aided
by the night watchman, made a
raid on a party of gamblers
about three o'clock Sunday
morning, capturing three men,
who pleaded guilty to the charge
when arraigned Monday morn
ing, and paid fines aggregating
$40. The evidence was secured
by Chief Wells witnessing the
game over the transom of the
room, unknown to the players,
and was quite sufficient to con-
vict them although they tried
hard to run the bluff of only
being engaged in a friendly,
game. There are known to be
several Of these so-called friend
ly games going on in the city,
where, neither chips or. money
are in evidence, but where set
tlement is made in cash at some
other place. The Chief is quiet
ly going on still hunt for these
offenders and expects soon to
have them in his clutches.

PAYS BIG PERCENTAGE.

Benton county, while far from
being one of the largest in Ore
gon, has the marked distinction
of contributing over one-fortyfifth
of the total revenues of the state,
q record. which for population
alone is not equalled by any other
county, but which is a telling
illustration of property values in
this section.
Last year this county paid into
the State treasury over $40, 900,
while for 1909 its quota to the
public fund will amount to more
than $4,000.

IMPROVED PHONE SERVICE
Home System Installing New
Facilities.

The Home Telephone Com
pany is making a record fol
itself in the admirable manner
in which it is handling its large
volume of business at this i'm.
portant exchange, and its readi-
ness to provide every possible
facility for improving its service
So rapidly has its business
grown, and SO great is the de-
mand here for telephone COM
munication, that the company is
now installing new switch
board, one of the most modern
patterns now being made, this
additional facility having arrived
early in the week and as soon as
tits properly placed and adjust
ed all the demands for new tele-
phones will be promptly filed
and the necessary connections
made. There are now on file
acquisitions for over 100 resi-
dence and business phones that
have been unavoidably held up,
but with the installation of the
new switch board numbers will
now be supplied in quick order
and the inconvenience of party
lines avoided.
To hasten the work a large
force of skilled electricians is
now busily engaged and COM
petent linesmen employed to
run the required extensions and
make all necessary connections,
while toprovide the most prompt
and efficient service at the ex-,
change fourteen more operators
have been secured for the CEN
trail Office, thus assuring the
public every facility for the
quick handling of business.
This additional equipment
and working force has also made
it possible for the Company to
more advantageously handle its
toll business than ever before
and, in consequence, to reduce
its toll rates between Corvallis
and Portland. This new and
lower rate will become effective
January 1, 1909, and will be as
follows: 35 cents for half-min-
ute; 40 cents for three-quarters
minute; As cents for one minute.
All over time at the rate of five
cents for each additional twenty
seconds, the reduced rate being
only for the city of Corvallis and
not for Benton county.
AS modern and up-to- date
public convenience the Home
Telephone Company is certainly
to all due credit and the
liberal patronage accorded it is |
an evidence that the people of |
this city and vicinity fully ap-
preciate the courteous treatment |
and prompt and efficient service
which it is now affording.

HUNTING CONTEST
Three Days Of Sport in Alsea
Valley,

Arrangements are now being
made for grand hunting match
over in the Alsea valley to be
Kept up for three days with fully
forty veteran sportsmen on each
side. The victorious party will
be decided by a committee of,
citizens as judges and the prize
will be big banquet provided
for the winners by the losing
side.
The Alsea river will be the
dividing line between the two
hunting parties and the entire
valley is deeply interested in the
line up and possible result.
The banquet will be one of
the finest feeds ever prepared in
that part of the country, the
menu to consist of the rarest
delicacies cadtured by the sports
men, the choicest cuts to be.
served to the victors by fair
maidens and every dish tempt
ing enough to satisfy the most
exacting epicure, and bountiful,
enough to fill up the hungry
hunters there assembled. Blood
curdling stories will be told of
the thrilling adventures in the
chase, speeches made and songs
of the grand jubilee will re-echo
through the entire valley.
The hunting grounds chosen
for the contest are considered
the finest in this part of the
state and the big game bagged
on this great occasion will prob.
ably make President Roosevelt
wish he had chosen Benton
county for his last hunting trip,
instead of the canebrakes Of
Louisiana, while the average
eastern tenderfoot would likely
exclaim: "Should [ have stood
where these hunters were and
viewed the wild brutes o'er; I'd
have got up and got to safer
spot, instead Of making them
roar"
Anticipations Of the coming
feed will make everybody wish
they wereinvited to the banquet.

had been over ninety in a hundred, he
reduced it to twenty. In New York
the year before he began his work
the infant mortality during the five
hot weeks of July and early August
had been 1861 per 1000. The next
year, after he began distributing pas
teurized milk, it fell to 117.9.
During ten years he kept up the dis
tribution, and the death rate among
children was still further decreased to
72.1. He began by giving the milk
free to physicians of the board of
health and those engaged in charita-
bic work. Then he started erecting
booths in the parks. In this he was
opposed by many officials and at first
had little encouragement from any
source. He persevered, however, ex-
tending the work to Philadelphia, Chi
cago and other cities, and the press
began to comment favorably on his
efforts. It was the writer's fortune to
be an editorial writer on one of the
New York dailies during Mr.. Straus
crusade and to assist in a small way
by writing many editorials in his be-
half. I remember that at the Begin
ming Of one summer Mr. Straus had
five pasteurAed milk depots ready to
open in various parks of the city. He
offered to supply any number of addi-
tional booths that the city would erect
with pasteurized milk free Of cost ex-
cept the nominal charges to patrons
The appropriation required was only
the trifing sum of $4,000, and yet
the officials were SO slow that even this
niggardly amount was not forthcoming

booths himself, making seventeen in

THERE is soul satisfying sound
about the word philanthropist-
lover of man. 1t is the term
universally applied to Nathan
Straus, the New York merchant who
has crowned life Of charity by es-
tablishing pasteurized milk depots
throughout America and Europe. If
there were a word that meant lover
of children, it would be still more ap-
propriate to Mr.. Straus, as he has
saved the lives of thousands of little
ones by his pure milk crusade. This
should entitle him to fame as much
above that of the conquerors as it is
greater to give life or preserve it than
it is to take it away.
Mr.. Straus Is the head of one of
New York city's immense department
stores. Ills brother, Oscar S. Straus,
Is a member of President Roosevelt's
cabinet and was formerly minister to
Turkey under President Cleveland
Nathan Straus, however, is a Demo-
crat and was recently appointed chair
man Of the committee to organize the
business men Of the country in behalf
of the Bryan ticket. Despite his work
as business man and philanthropist
Mr.. Straus has always found time to
devote to public affairs. He has been

the lives of thousands of babies were
saved annually. The work was not
confined to New York. but was opened
in other American cities and then in
Europe. The name Of Nathan Straus
is now almost as familiar across the
water as at home.
Milk Booths Erected In Parks.
The pasteurized milk crusade is a
story in itself that some day will be
read by the world with thrilling inter
est. The pathetic and inspiring tale
can only be touched here. 1t has been
over a dozen years since Mr. Straus
became alive to the fact that impure
milk causes more deaths than almost
any other one cause; that it spreads
typhoid, diphtheria and other like dis
eases; that 1t sweeps off thousands of
children through summer complaint
and that it is great avenue for the
carrying Of consumption. Scarcely
any raw milk is free from disease
germs Of some sort, though in much
of 1t they are not in sufficient guam
titles to affect adults or children of
vigorous constitutions. Many diph-
iberia, scarlet fever and other similar
scourges have been traced to this
source. In one experiment made by
Mr.. Straus, where the infant mortality

Nevertheless he Gid succeed in Eu-

but at a recent International pure milk
congress Mr.. straus was given an ova-:

and through his efforts France. Ger
many, England and other foreign ma
tons have been awakened to the i'm
pure milk peril almost as much as has
his OVID land. Recently Mr. Straus

Only Nominal Prices CHARGED.

In his philanthropic work Mr.. Straus
has always avoided the appearance Of
giving charity, believing that this de-
grades and pauperizes the recipient.
He has insisted on those he helps pay
ing something If possible. This amount
has always been less than the cost Of
the article to Mr.. Straus and has been
Insisted on simply to preserve the self
respect Of the recipient. Thus during
the panic Of 1893, when so many men
were out Of work in New York city and
so much suffering prevailed among the
poor, Nathan Straus established coal
supply stations, grocery stores and
sleeping houses throughout the city. He
saw that the people were being robbed
by the small coal dealers who sold in
twenty-five or fifty pound lots. By es-
tablishing several coal Offices and buy
ing in immense quantities he was en-
abled to sell the coal to the poor at
about half what they had been paying.
This represented loss to Mr.. Straus,
but relieved the suffering. The same
was true Of his groceries, in which
WIN nC was EuClpSu ny u. IicIpOul
Morgan and others. The prices charged
were little more than nominal, but the
people still felt that they were paying
for what they got. In the sleeping
houses the men only gave 5 cents a
night, or prices as ridiculously small,
but they did not have the sense Of re-
ceiving without giving an equivalent,
and so the great psychological law of
recompense, which is SO necessary to a
feeling of independence, was not VIC
lated. Later on, when Mr.. Straus es-
tablished the pasteurized milk depots
in the parks and on the public piers, he
worked on the same principle. The
milk was sold at small amount per
bottle or per glass, not nearly enough
10 repay the cost, but still enough to re-
move the sting of patronizing chart
ty from those helped. Even then the
price was not insisted on in all cases.
If mother applied for milk for her
infant and said she was not able to
pay, the milk was given gladly. Not
only was pasteurized milk furnished at
these booths, but physician was In
attendance to advise mothers as to
their little ones This service was

the preservation Of life and in that
time made great progress. In Sand
hansen, small village near Heidel-
berg, the establishment of pasteuriza-
ton plant caused an immediate fall In
the death rate of children. In Karls-
ruhe the doWager Grand Duchess
Luise of Bavaria gave her. cordial sup
port to Mr.. Strauss in the establishment
Of a pasteurization plant, as did the
Countess of Aberdeen, vice refine of
Ireland, in Dublin; the Princess Ar
nulf of Bavaria, in Munich, and Dr.;
e. W. Hope, officer of health, in LiY-

Of the interior Of Austria, promised
Mr.. Stratus to introduce the pasteuriza-
ton Of milk throughout that country,
and the demonstrations given by Mr.
Straus in Frankfort, Berlin and Vienna
were attended by physicians, men Of
science, philanthropists and govern
ment and health officials.
Mr. Straus' platform in this work
may be judged by this vigorous sum-
ming up: Neither war nor pestilence
nor famine claims as many victims as
impure milk It is the most terrible
foe of humanity, all the more because
1t gives no outward sign of the dan
