The following letters remain uncalled for in the Corvallis postotfice, for the week ending Sept. 7 1907: B. W, Johksok, P M 7 Cop tttm ooogla and hssl lnot TKEY EXPECT VICTORY. In Coming Season U. of O. Fore castOf Interest to OAC. All local lovers of ;ootball will read with kein interest a sum mary of U. of O.'s prospects for the coming season, as givec in an exchange: A forecast of the football season of 1907 is in order, as active preparation is now on foot. The University of Oregon, champion last year, has bright prospects and hopes to duplicate, the suc cesses ot 1906. A partial sched ule has beeu arranged to which there will be additions. Games have been signed up with Pacific University at Eugene, Oct. 19; University of Idaho at Portland, October 26; Willamette Univer sity at Salem, November 2; Oregon Agricultural college at Eugene, November 9; Wasbing at Seattle, November- 16, and Multnomah club at Portland Thanksgiving day; As last year, it is doubtful if a game can be arranged with Pull man or Whitman. If one is not, the championship miy depend upon comparative scores again. Notwithstanding the big hole the absence of Hug, McKinney, Latourette and Chandler, who graduated last year, will make in the team, there is a splendid nucleus of old men to begin with. Captain Moores, the best end in the northwest, will be at the uni versity September 30, for early practice. He has called for all the men he can get to be on hand at that date. Claik, one of the Best punters in the northwest, and who played a great half last year, will limber up his legs on Multnomah field daring the lat ter part ot the vacation. Kuy kendall, who proved himself an able successsor to Latourette Thanksgiving day, will be on hand for early practice. Arn spiger the tackle, Zacharias the big halt, Pinkbam, Scott, Ham mond and Gillis, last year's guards will all be back at the opening f college. Dick Hath away, captain of the basketball team foi 1907, has played on the 'varsity eleven and will be out for a position. Billy Wood, cap tain of Oregon's second team list year," will try for Chandler's position at end. Other men who will be out for places will be William Main, of Lick High; Ray Walker, an ex OAC haifoack; Taylor, of H. M. A.jMcCcy, of The Dalles, and Mclntyre, who played with Ore gon two years ago,. "Bui" Hayward, physical di rector for the coming ear, will train the men. -Gordon Frost, who coached the Seattle high learn last year, which won the interscholastic championship of the west by defeating North Di vision high of Chicago, will coach Oregon this year. Frost is at Fort Ann, N. YM and be fore leaving for Eugene will visit alma mater, Dartmouth, and study the systems of other eastern colleges. Coach Frost graduated from Dartmouth in '02, and has been coaching and teaching since He will arrive in Eugene about September 20, Talked Back To Chief Wells. "Go along, sonav; this is the Sabbath day and I hae no time for you," was in substance what a "Weary Willie" languishing in the city jail said to Police man J. D. Wells, last Sunday morning. The wandering Willie dropped into town daring the school tail and proceeded to beg his way. He wis locked up bat refused to give his name or residence, say ing the former was none of. the policeman's business and that hi residence was in Oregon. Jad.it McFadden was appealed to ant visited the city bastile, watio his eloquence on the queer old man whe would not talk; so did E. E. Wilsou, so did E. R. Brv son, so did County Judge Wood- ward; but the combined efforts of these shining lights " failed to bring forth results. After three das ot solitary confinment, during which the hobo refused to promise to quit begging or to leave town. Chief Wells went o the jail Sunday morning,! found the man sitting, barefooted, reading a testament and was greeted with the sent ence quoted aboie. After some parleying, however, he conde scended to put on his shoes and go to the ho.el for breakfast. At the close of the meal he tried to escape but was captured by Chief Wells, taken to the river and sent across on the ferry, with a warning not to return. To an employe of the hotel he finally confided the fact that his name was John Callahan, but as this throws no light on the sub ject of who be was or from whence he came, the impudent old gentleman (till remains a puzzle. to those who dealt with him in Corvallis. Worth Reprinting. Here's the same oft-repeated story, which all should know, but we give it again, and ' will keep, repeating it until farmers come to a full realization of its meaning. It is true that everv time a farmer sells a ton of wheat he sells $11.62 in fertility; in a ton of clever bay he sells $8.62 fertility; in a ton of alfalfa hay he sells $8.63 in fertility; in a ton of oats he sells $7.81 in fertility, and in a ton of corn be sells $6. 47 in fertility. If these products be fed en the farm under proper conditions, resulting manure be returned to the soil, there is a very slight loss ot fertility, tor the following finished products may be sold instead: In selling a ton of finished beef on the hoof, the farmer sells but $5.37 in fer tility; in a ton of live hogs be sells but 3.70 in fertility; in a ton of milk he sells but 1.48 in fer tility; in a ton of cheese be sells but 69 cents in fertility, and in a ton of butter be sells 27 cents in fertility. The test policy for the farmer to adopt is that system of corn and crop rotation wnich will embrace not only the growing of stock, either tor sale in the form of beef ot pork, or for the produc tion ot milk; cheese and butter, Colman's Rural World. Hot Weather There. Hsrt Momsen, chief of the ag ncultural division ot tne census office, who is at present in Indian territory assisting with census work being done there, sends the following champion bot-weatber story, which he claims to have taken from one of the Muskogee papers: "When it is so hot that corn fields pop." it's hot! And this is no fairy tale. James Miller, residing at 1417 East Broadway, has a corn held where ne raises choice popcorn During the last few days so intense has been the heat of the sun that the kernels of corn have exploded on the cob and blossomed out tnto fluffy white flakes. Mr. Miller has 10 or 15 bushels of" corn standing. The stalks are alive, but when the sun creeps up high in the heavens these days there is a pop pop popping heard all through the corn patch. N . "Mr. Miller has picked some of this and is now enjoying the de lightful experience of eating pop corn off the cob. Just to cor robrate the story aa ear of ., this overheated corn mav be seen in the window of the Phoenix office today. With the thermometers blowing off ot tbe safety valve, chickens hatching out of crates of "fresh" eggs, corn popoing on the ear, the suSeiing Muskogee public mournfully murmur; uex'." OregO'iian.

Everything on the Move An Es timate of the Yield. Down ak the big prune orcbaid things are going some these days, as picking and drying are in pro gress. The crop will be handled again this year by the big prune shipping firm, ' Lasalle Bros., of Albany, the most extensive ship pers in the no, th west. The firm now has 14 prune dryers in oper ation at the pvercrt time, six in Linn county, one in McMinnville, two at North Yamhill, and two at Cove and Union, Eastern Ore gon. Some of our readers may not know that the largest drver in the world is in Benton county J near Granger, but such is true. This dryer bandies the product of the 160 acre prune orchard ad jacent, and has capacity per day of over 1000 bushels. This year the big orchard at Granger will yield at least is, 000 bushels of fruit or ten carloads of dried pro duct, last year tne crop was short and only five carloads were1 obtained. In Benton county aside from the large Granger dryer, Lasalle Brothers are operating, what is known as the "Little dryer," just across the river trom Albany, with a capacity of 100 bushels per day, and the Missall dryer daily capacity 250 bushels. The dryer at McMinnville has a daily capacity ot 400 bushels, and the two dryers at North Yamhill have combined capacity of ioco bushels per day. In Eastern Oregon the dryer at Union has a daily capacity of 700 bushels, and the dryer at Cove a capacity of 400 bushels. Sensible. The long-drawn-out days of uninteresting farm toil have driven thousands of young men and women to the cities to per dition. Shorten the work day, diversify things, brighten up and try to mate life worth living. Ten hours a day of intelligent work on a farm of twenty or thirty acres will give a family a good income and allow for a little social recreation and the proper amenities of domestic lffe says an exchange editorially. rlan so that there is some new thing to do at least every week. Take the boys into partnership let the farm be carried on under the firm name of Jones & Sons. Have magazines and - newspapers, and let the young folks feel that th,ey are gaining something. Get everybody interested in fixing up yards, barns, planningand laying of beautiful grounds, with foun tains, flowers and shrub ery. " The New Railroad. Work was temporarily sus pended on the Corvallis and Al sea railroad Friday evening, to be resumed this morning. Tbe respite from labor was in ordfr to give the horses a much-needed rest as they have been working on the big grader for several weeks and were about exhausted. Work was completed Friday night on the J. O. Wilson place and will be resumed on the John Smith place today. Six mile of grading is now done. Surveyors are now engaged in running the survey from Inavale in a southwester y direction. "Muddv" creek will be crossed on the Buchanan place. The new railroad bridge over Mary's river is now about halt done and 1200 feet of trestle is in place. Mr. Carver is still ham pered by' trouble at certain points in securing the right of way for his road, but work, is progressing favorably and as rapidly as possible under . tbe circumstances. Additional Local. The time is not far distant when there will be a scurrying to the country. Con ditions in tbe towns and cities are be ginning to tighten aiid become har.W. When the farmer miffs all he tier ? then eats all he raises, what is the c ty fellow going to do? He will certainly have tc get out and hoe corn, milk cow, feed ralvea and learn what it means t live. Professor J. B. Horner, registrar of 'th Oregon Agricultural College, has just re turned from 1 astern Oregon, where he went on official business. He visited La Grande, which was his boyhood home, and also went to what is called old La Grande. It was in the old town that Professor Horner lived for a time. He says that fully 300 students from Eastern Oregon will attend the Agricultural Col- -lege this year, and he looks for a total ' attendance of I00J. Not the least important of the many improvements being made at the Fair ' Grounds at Salem, in preparation' for the Greater Oregon State Fair, Septem ber 16-21 ,1s the transformation of the 1 1 . 1 and 'weeds into beautilul landscape ef fects. This is tbe first appeal to the artistic sen?e that has been attempted along this line, and, although it has been fonnd impossible to make all the needed changes in one year, the most glaring faults have been remedied. The con cessions have all been removed to one district and dozens ol unsightly shacks destroyed. New walks have been laid throughout the grounds, the idea being to combine beauty with convenience as far as possible. Buildings have been moved whenever necessary, and other conditions made to conform to the new arrangements. The walks will all be of fine gravel, dressed with granite sand. The industry of breeding carrier kixl homer piireons is gaining quite a foot, hold in Oregon. Bacing pigeons as a s port is being fcsteied by the Oregon HomiDg Club of Portland, and other or ganizations. At the Greater Oregon State Fair, September 16-21, five pigeon racea will be contested on aa many dif ferent days. The birds will be liberated at the Fair Gronnds for the flight from Salem to Portland. Last year several of these races were held, and they created much interest among the spectators. Claude Clark, an OAO man, who for the past few years has been secretary of the Portland Y. M. C, A., was to arrive home in that city, Saturday, from a trip East, where he went to attend tre Y. M. C. A. national conference at Silver Bay, New York. He also vieited all of tbe principal cities of the East to familiarize himself with tbe various methods of the Y. M. C. A. workers of the different sec tions. On his return trip Mr. Clark had planned to visit Guy E. Moore, in Chica go. Upon arrival there he found a letter from Mr. Moore, giving the latter's tele phone number, and Mr. Clark immedi ately called up. Imagine his feelings when a stranger answered, "Mr. Moore 19 dead and tbe remains are en route to . Oregon for burial." The two young men were college mates at OAC. Mr. Clark is to be given a promotion in the Y. M. C, A. work as soon as the new. Portland "Y" building is completed. While there are still a good number of people at Newport, the crowd there now is one which comes more for rest than amusement. Saturday night "The Ce. sino," Newport's new dance hall, gave. Kb farewell dance, which was followed Thursday evening by a farewell skating party at the Ocean Wave skating rink.. Hotel-keepers are storing thsir goods for the winter and laying plans lor next season. Waiter Maxwell, Chas. Roberts, Frank St. John, A O Smith. James Flett expects to go to his Five Rivers ranch, today, to bring ont bis casca ra bark, of which he has about 1500 pound at the present time. It ia liaely to reach a higher figure ere lo&- mn. a. j. w naon, wiie 01 tne city marshal of Lebanon, accidentally drank a quantity of ammonia, Thursday night, and as a result regained her voice which she lost two years aso irom tbe effects of la grippe. The rase is certainly a pecu liar one. She went to the pantry to take some medicine but got tbe wrong bottle and upon discovering that she bad swal lowed ammonia Mrs. Wilson gave a. scream and fainted. She was dangerous ly 111 fop- four hours but will recover. Since having la grippe she has .bee a practically dumb, able to speak Jonly a word or two at rare intervals. Since. accidentally drinking tbe ammonia she is now able to talk considerably and can talk mere and more as the swelling in her throat and mouth, caused by tbe baru of the ammonia, passes away. 'Mrs. Thomas Whitehorn arrived home Saturday from a ten days' visit to New port. She says the weather was lovely, that there are fewer people now than ia the case earlier in the season, which makes it possible for one to rest, and that she was much benefitted by her stay at this favorite resort.
