OPENING of the Sigma Chi fra
ternity house boat sacBon on
Coos river last Saturday night
was an enjoyable affair. The boat
tied up at Its destination at five
o'clock, and preparations wore Im
mediately completed for tho even
ing's pleasures. The boat was dec
orated with two dozen Chinese lan
terns and tho grounds were Illumi
nated. In the evening, the boys
went up the river and serenaded tho
summer colony with college songs
and Instrumental music. On tho re
turn trip tho bunch stopped at Fred
McCulIom's home and Bang "Waltz
Me Around, Fred,dle." There was an
appeal In this serenade which de
cided Mr. McCulIom in producing re
freshments appropriate to the event.
At tho banquet served later on,
Messrs. Lamborton and Flanagan
carried away the honors by dispos
ing of fourteen scrambled eggs and
a can of minced clams. Others In
the party essayed to hold their own
in the disposition of eatables, but
were simply outclassed by tho long
and short men. On Sunday after
noon, the boys held a reception for
their friends and entertained with
music, vocal and Instrumental.
Mrs. E. M. Shupe and daughters,
Mr. Sehlbrede, Mrs. Sehlbrede, Mrs.
Gettins, Mrs. McKrane, Misses Agnes
and Grace Hutchc3on and Mrs. Dal
ton enjoyed a pleasant dny'3 outing
up Coos river on last Thursday. All
reported a fine time.

MAKE ESCAPE IN AUTOMOBILE
Outwitting their friends who pur
sued them with showers of rlco and
old shoes, Mr. and Mrs. OHn B. Stal
naker escaped in an automobile, the
most persistent efforts on the part of
tntalr tormentors falling to locate
them, says the Albany Herald. Mr.
and Mrs. Stalnaker were married yes
terday morning In Halsey, and In
tended to take the train for Eugene
at noon. Pursued from the house
to the railroad station by a crowd
of wedding guests who pelted them
unmercifully with rice and other ar
ticles customary on such occasions,
they boarded the train as If Intend
ing to leave on It. At the side of
the station platform stood the large
automobile of P. A. Young. Mr. and
Mis. Stalnaker saw that their friends
were purchasing tickets to accom
pany them as far as the next sta
tion, so they quietly got off the train
and, getting Into the big touring car,
woro whirled away before their
friends realized what they Intended.
Mr. and Mrs. Stalnaker were taken
to Shcdd station, where thoy caught
the southbound train.

THE LOVE OP AN
OLD MOTHER CAT
A Pathetic Incident of Friday's
Fire at the Alec Lund Home and
What a Feline Did
That tho fomaiis cf the feline
fami" not only possess Human Intel
ligence but also a mother's lovo for
tholr young was conclusively dem
onstrated at the fire which occurred
at tho Alec Lund residence on Fri
day. Mistress Tabby had in the
third floor of the house her little
family of seven kittens. Their ex
istence was unknown to anyone prior
to tho conflagration and probably
would have remained so until the
little ones had gained sufficient
strength and courage to strike out
In life on their own responsibility.
While the flames were eating their
way through tho dry roof of tho
house tho mother cat was seen com
ing out of tho back door; her vel
vety feet trod cautiously over the
various articles of furniture which
had been strewn around In tho ex
citement of the moment and she
waded through tho pools of water
that most hated of elements to the
cat family as if she had been on
dry ground. In her mouth, held by
the nap of the neck was a little kit
ten whose eyes were not yet open
to tho light of tho world, and whom
she carried tenderly as sho quickly
mado her way to a placo of safety.
Reaching a spot In the shadow of
tho next house away from prying
eyes this wise old mother cat de
posited her tiny burden and sped
with lightning speed back to the
burning dwelling. Three times was
she seen to make the trip and each
time was there carried another mem
ber of her family to the new homo.
After the third trip tho hungry
flames ate their way around her
former home and the old mother cat
was unable to longer carry on her
work of rescue. She watched and
waited however and when tho wa
ter had at last subdued the flames
she picked her way back to tho spot
and returning carried tho corpse of
a little kitten. Tha remaining four
had been drowned by the deluge of
water. The old mother however car
ried the dead and placed them with
tho live and when discovered was
tenderly wasting upon the little In-
