Doctor Lester's Wysmdottes hold their own, however, and refuse to be beaten by' any foreign impor tations. If the chickens want to crow they have a right te, and'no one has a right, to! throw stones at them. The great American Hen is the boss of the rauch for Bure. Her annual output is -worth more than all the gold mince, silver mines and copper mines of the country. "Dur ing the last year the market valu of tbe poultry sold was $136,000,000 and of eggs $1A4,000,OCO, or a total of $280,000,000. Keep oz growing, fciddy, if you Tf ant to. ALL-HAIL Will IMIS - Put Through Nevada's Line For Three Touchdowns. In the last game on the home grounds this season, the Oregon Agricultural College team yester day afternoon defeated the Uni versity of Nevada, of Reno, by a score of 15 to o. Although alter the first ten minutes of play, the game was considerably one-sidtd, was 1 nevertheless brimful of pretty and spectacular plays. Nevada did all her brilliant play ing during the first ten minutes but the magoificent showing they maele in' that short time was enough to leave the game in doubt ui til the home team suc ceeded in nuking its second touchdown. O A. C. wen the toss and kicked to Nevada's 15 yd line. On the next play C. Hart. U. of N. got around the end fr the longest run made, on the local grounds this season 55 yards. After a few plays the ball was worked to O. A. C's 15-yd line, but the locals took a wonderful brace and succeeded in getting the ball on downs. The next several plays were of minor im portance, Nevada failing in an attempt to make place kick from O. A. C's 25-yd.line. The ball was then worked back and forth with honors about even, until a Nevada man again got clear and on a fake punt made a 40-yd run to Corvallis' 1 5-yd line. Here again O. A. C held the visitors and by superb punting by Capt. Pilkmgton with perfect support. Nevada could not make yardage and before the spectators knew what had happened the home team had carried the ball to the opponents 25-yd line. It was here that Corvallis worked like Troians and by ter rific line bucking, using Wil liams for a battering ram, Neva- j da was powerless to stay the on slaughts and the ball was worked J to TJ. of N.'s 5-yard line. Now! came the prettiest fake play of the season. By a false pass Ne vada was completely outwitted. and as a result Williams went around the end lor a touchdown. The remainder of the first half was played in the visitors terri tory and ended with the ball 16 yards from Nevada's goal. In the second half Nevada kicked to our 25-yard line. Fail ing to make yardage . the . ball is O. A. C's: "Pilk" next makes a good punt of 40 yards, and again Nevada is held for downs. O. A. C. punts forty yards but Nevada advances ball 25 yards. At this point TJ. of N. tries a fake play but Pilkington did not feel inclined to let the visitors play that way and as a result Nevada lost yardage. TJ. of N. is then forced to punt. On the next play Williams wanted to show his sprinting ability and after making a 40-yard run, a Nevada man kindly stopped him lest he didn't know enough to quit running. Ball was then on TJ. of N's 20-yard line. Here O. A. C. was penalized 5 yards. Pilk then tries drop kick but fails. After a succession of plays during which Nevada makes some gains, Williamsj gets scared again and runs 30 yards to Ne vada's 5-yard line before called upon to halt After a couple of plays Pilk goes over the line, but by accident the ball slips from his grasp and what should have been another touchdown was lost by the fumble. After several minutes of play Williams is wound up and turned loose again and with the assist ance of Pilkington this time they stopped for nothing, as a Nevada man found out when they hit him, and they made a 40-yard run for a touchdown -Pilkington again fails at goal. Pilk kicks off to Nevada's 10 yard line, who advance ball 25 yards. Nevada loses ball on downs and Williams goes through for 20 yards, and ball was finally worked to visitors' 5-yard line. Here Nevada stole the ball from Bowers and punts 30 yards. Abraham goes throwgh the line ibr 15 yards. On the next play Williams severs his connection with the rest and trots behind Nevada's goal for the third time. Pilkington made the third failure for a goal. Nevada made lair gains during the remainder of 'the game, but darkness made it difficult to watch the ball. The visitors' failed in a place kick and the local football season was ended for 1903. In justice to the Nevada boys we will say that they were com pletely worn out from the last ten days travel , and playing, although from the showing that O. A. C. made it would have worried them to have won had III I Mr MMM M they been in fine shape. The Nevada boys have played three games within a week , besides traveling hundreds of miles by rail, which is a strain no team can stand and play winning ball. Their excellent showing with Stanford and Berkeley will vouch for the statement that they are a team hard to excel when in good condition. They are gen tlemen in every respect and Cor vallis is proud to have had the honor of entertaining such manly lot of young men as the Reno plavers prove themselves to be. " Evergreen Items. B. W.

Denman paid these parts a flying visit last week. The Evergreen - school has larger attendance this term than it has had for some time past The. late wind storm caused several trees to fall across the public highway in this vicinity. Reign of Terror in Blodgett Valley The citizens of that part of Benton county known as Blodgett Valley, on the road leading from the Arnold farmland running by the Isaac Norton place, have been experiencing a miniature reign ot terror for the last four months. A certain road was laid out by the highway officers, and declared a county road by the county court. On this road a bridge was built, over a ravine or creek. For some unknown reason this bridge failed to be appreciated as it should nave been. A thresh me machine crew . passing that way was warned of danger, and told to examine the bridge before passing over it. Examination showed that some of the timbers had been Sawn across. The thresher was taken through the fields in a round-about way to its destination. The road supervisor cheerfully repaired the bridge. The next incident was the.burn ing of the bridge, so that it was not passable. Then the officers made a fill of logs ad brush. This was torn out. ' Then , tbe county again repaired the bridge. For the second time the bridge was burned. This made the fourth "accident," and the bridge is still impassible. Steps , are now being taken, it is said, to have the matter thoroughly in vestigated.
