In addition to this a brass band has been or ganized by about a dozen young ladies, They are already able to play quite well 8n that the men and women of this institu tion are able to " toot their own horns." Last Friday evening a reception was ten' dered A. T. Buxton who took second hon ors in the oratorical contest at Forest Grove. This is the first veer that this college has entered the arena.

At this point there Is a large bend ol the river, a low bank, and a swift current. Coupled with this is the easily eroded nature of the land, so that the river with everv freshet is rapidly cut ting a new bed. If not remedied navigation would soon be impossible and Corvallis would be about a mile and one-half from the the river. Like other government work this is being done by contract. The brush is delivered on the bank, we found by inquiry, for 1.49 per cord; piling for 2 cents per foot, linear measure; and the rock for 72 cents per ton. These rates are lower than are usual with such contracts. L. M. L. Highland Happenings. Hiuiiland, March 12. The weather is fine and the fanners are busy plowing and sowing their spring crops.
