After playing with the U of O

Day, Ray Goodrich, W. B. Scott
and Sam Thurston came to Cor

prime favorites in this city, having
been members of the OAC. Fri
day evening they were entertained
at Alpha Hall. Quite a large num
ber ot their former fellow students
were in attendance. Conversation,
jokes, gtunes and refreshments
made up a very pleasant evening.
The band had one auditor who
who was a long distance from the

last Thursday afternoon. Virgil
Watters was the gentleman, and he
states that he was down on the

' band began to play." Mr. Wat
ters says that he heard every num

the following day in search of the
section boss to assi9t in appraising
the animal. The manner of settling
such matters in vogue with the
company is for their section boss to
choose one appraiser and the owner
another and these two choose a
third. In this manner much trou
ble is avoided. The horse killed
was a very fine young animal and
the owner thought it ws worth
$100.

Farewell "TV
If six feet of eaih makes us
all of one size, then'Ti" is to
day the peer of imperial Caesar.
Ti after days of suffering, ex
perienced the cold transition from
life to death last Sunday nnorn
ing sometime between the hours
of 3 and g. At the former hour a
visitor to his home near the Sal
vation Army barracks found him
' 'resting easy, ' ' and at g o' clock
he was found dead by one of his
countrymen. During the day a
collection was taken to defray
funeral expenses, and yesterday
at 2 o' clock he was buried with
all the wierd rites of Chinese cus
tom, at Crystal Lake cemetery.
Ti came to Corvallis something
over twenty years ago. How
long before that he left his native
heath, seems to be unknown to
his most intimate acquaintances.
He was young and powerful then,
was not afraid of work and had
the faculty of getting along.
Having amassed a small compe
tence, he visited his wife in
China some eight years ago and
was absent about fifteen months.
He was the father of two child
ren, but they are both dead.
For some years Ti has been in
failing health; and recently made
a trip to Portland to consult a
physician. There he learned
that his ailment was cancerous
consumption, and he came home
to die. At the time of his demise
he was about fifty vears of aee.
Ti was a pretty decent fellow.
He was always ready and willing
to work, and never asked some
thing for nothing. He had the
esteem of his countrymen and
the confidence of those who em
ployed him. He probably did
his duty as he saw it. That is all
any of us can do.

At the residence of her father, J.
Spangler, in this city, Miss Lulu
opened "a club" for "one night
only." It was an imitation of the
swell clubs of gentlemen of the
large cities and was attended only
by young ladies; fourteen in num
ber. They attended ia "disguise,"
and from the trouble some of them
experineed in borrowing evening
suits it is presumed that when they
reached the club they presented a
rather boyish appearance. Infor
mation regarding the affair has
been greatly sought after in various
directions, but little was learned.
There is no doubt of their having
enjoyed themselves during their
club life, brief as it was. This all
occurred on Thursday evening.
The late United States senator,
Cushman K. Davis, whose death
oocurred recently, was a warm per
sonal friend of Dr. Thompson.
They were regents together of the
University of Minnesota for several
years, and intimately assooiated in
the early educational and political
history of Minnesota. Senator
Davis was largely instrumental in
securing Dr. Ihomssons appoint
ment as one of the board of exami
ners at the Military Academy at
West Point some years ago. -No
eulogy can ever fully and fittingly
express the nobleness of personal
character ahd the exalted ability of
this distinguished statesman and
eminent jurist. His death is not
only a national but an international
loss. He was beloved at home, re
spected abroad and honored by all.
A short time ago J. E. Mo-
Gilvery, in the employ of the
Oregon Telephone Co., was in
Corvallis looking after the in
terests of his company. It will
appear from the following, taken
from the Albany Democrat, that
Mr. McGilvery was the cause of
considerable uneasiness to our
local ferryman:
J. E. McGilvery, the well
known telephone roan last Sat
urday crossed the ferry at Cor
vallis with a rig'for Shedd. He
had the ferryman sign the cus
tomary telephone company's re
ceipt as a voucher, which he
did without reading it. After
McGilvery had gone he made up
his mind that he had signed
away his farm or had given his
nste for a fortune and had been
taken in, so he rushed to Cor
vallis, gob a livery rig and
started after McGilvery. When
he reached Shedd McGilvery had
just left for Harrisburg. The
excited ferryman telephoned to
that place ts have him arrested
a his arrival, bat matters were
finally explained to the excited
ferryman and he returned home,
out several dollars on account of
his wild goose chase.
The amusement loving publio
of Corvallis' has no cause for
complaint at the quality of en
tertainment now being offered.
The latest treat was " the per
form ances of Alba Hey wood and
his company, Saturday evening,
fa: the opportunity of witnessina-
which, we are to thank the Jef
fersonian Society of the college.
Mr. Heywood is in the very first
rank of entertainers of his class.
As a charaoter impersonator he
has few equals. Probably the
strongest of his new specialties
is "Mr. Dennis Mudd," an orig
inal character sketch. Mr. Mudd
is a pessimist of the genua popu-
use. tie nnas rauio with every
thing but himself, and scorns all
who gets weak eyes from looking
on the bright side of things.
Aside from the work of Mr.
Heywood; the strongest nnmbeis
on the program were rendered
by Mr. Gustav Ulrich. As a
'cellist Corvallis audiences have
never heard his equal. His first
number was stormily encored
and was responded t with the
intermezzo from 'Cayalleria
Rusticaua." His rendition of
Popper's "Spinning Wheel"
displayed a technique almost
faultless. As a second encore
he played "Asleep in the Deep"
wifeu excellent taste and expres
sion. As much can not be said
for the work of Miss Monroe
.with the violin. She lacks the
power necessary for a truthful
rendition of DcBeriot's Military
Concsrio, which she essayed.
The ringing bugle oalls were
mere echoes of what the selec
tion demands, and the fire and
warmth of the compostion were
entirely lost. Miss Cole has a
pleasing voice and winning
manner, but she is not a prima
donna.
"Uncle Josh" Coming.
''Uncle Josh Spruceby," a
rollicking farm play, tinged with
just enough of the earnest side of
life to bring into strong relief the
honest, fun-loving New England
agriculturist, played to large
houses all week at the Metro
politan Theater. Specialties
were numerous arid well done,
and the acting throughout in
keeping with the scenes. The
strong feature of the play was
the musioal side. An excellent
orchestra and band accompanies
the show; and their work was
decidedly good. Every day at
noon time the streets of the oity
were paraded by the "Rube"
band which was not only funny
in its outlandish and nonde
script aniforms, but was also
very good "indeed on account of
the high grade of music fur
nished. "Uncle Josh" will play
to good business should his all
around good entertainers play a
return engagement. Sunday

The union Thanksgiving ser
ees were held in the Congrega
tional church at 10:30 a. m, on
that day and were largely at
tended. All of the pastors of
the oity were present t assist.
Rev. Lark offered the prayer and
Rev. Humbert delivered the ser
mon. His text was "Praise ye
the Lord, for He is good; foe His
mercy endureth forever." It
was au able address and at its
olose "America" was sung and
Rev. Boozer pruourced the
benediction.
In the afternoon a large num
ber of people gathered on Main
street to listen t6 the concert
given by the Corvallis Band.
And from words of praise be
stowed on, the boys, it is safe to
say that they were both sur
prised and delighted with the
selections given and the style of
their rendition.
As a matter of history it will
be interesting to learn that the
observation of Thanksgiving was
instituted in Oregon within 11
monfrhs after the admission of
the state into the union, or al
most 41 years ago. The day
set apart was Thursday, Decem
ber 29. The proclamation, was
issued by John Whi taker, the
first governor of the state, at the
request of 76 pioneer women of
Oregon City. A copy of the
I proclamation, the briefest ever
issuebd y an Otegon governor, is
now in the possession of George
H. Himes, secretary of the Ore
gon Historical Society. It reads
as follows: " .
"Beit known, that in con
formity with the wishes of many
citizens of Oregon, I do appoint
and sst apart Thursday, the 29th
day of December, 1859, as a day
to be kept for public thanksgiv
ing and to be observed through
out the state in such a manner
as the good citizens of thereof
may deem most appropriate.
Given under my hand, at Eugene
City, this 6th day of December,
1859. John Whitaker,
"Governor."

Mr. Garrow has permanent employ
ment as superintendent of the large
sawmill at that place. Joseph and
Wilbur have been employed in
these mills since early summer and
will return to resume their duties
next spring. Mr. Garrow will leave
again for MeCloud about the last of
January. One of the largest lum
bering iuterprises on the coast is
located at this point. Frem 200,
000 to 300,000 feet of lumber is
shipped daily from these mills.
Vart quantities of tits, etc., are
supplied to the S. P. railroad com
pany. The mille are Bupplied with
logs brought from the forest by rail.
This summer six engines were kept
busy night and day hauling logs
and still the mills were unablo to
keep up with orders. Unlike agri
cultural sections the revenue of Me
Cloud does not depend on climatic
condiliens, She is always sure of
abundant harvest. Demand for
her product is all she asks. This
demand depends upon the prosper
ity of the country at large, and the
fact that the mills are pushed as
they never have been before indi
cates nnparalled business activity
throughout the land.
