Concerning Captain Bert Pil
"kington, it says: "Bert Pilking
ton of the Oregon Agricultural
1 i i. .
v-oiiege, is iar ana away me Desi
candidate for the position of full
back, rjlsiugton played tor sev
eral seasons on the eleven of -McMinnville
Col ege, and at the be
ginning of the college year entered
the State School at Corvallis. Ife
is a big fellow, strong and active
as a cat, and always combines
splendid headwork r with his play
ing. His work in the Corvallis
Jugene game of this year was an
x&iWtlomin itself, and every con
test ot tne seasou snowea practical
ly the same result, Pilkington,
liowever, is in a class by himself
so far as Oregon fullbacks are con
deemed, hi3 only superior in the
northwest oxisting in the person of
. -"Hez" Brown the stalwart Whit
man player."
Concerning Root, the paper says
-"Root plays the game for sll he
is worth, although comparatively
inexperienced. His work in the
Corvallis-Washington game was of
very high order, and when the
farmers fouDd their chance to carry
the pigskin over the Seattle goaj
line, ttuot am tne stunt, in a very
creditable manner, after a series
of pretty end runs and tandem
plays." - '
" It says of Burnough at center,
The choice of a center is hard
to determine, as Burnaugh of Cor
vallis, and McKinney of Oregon,
re almost evenly matched. Bur
nough, .vhile io pounds lighter, is
given the place. Burnough is
nore active than McKinney has
played the game longer, and for
these reasons he is selected.
Of other OAC players it Fays:
""Nash of the Agricultural College,
was out of the game during a great
er parf of the season, so no just
criticism of his work can be made.
Bundy of the" Agricultural Coir
lege, is a promising tackle, and ia
another season will show great
improvement.
Spokane Chronicle: Fred Her
bold, for two years coach of the
University of Idaho and this year
-at the head of the Oregon Agti--cultural
College football affairs,
was in this city last night on his
way to Butte. Herbold is well
known here as a coach. Two years
ago he placed the Idaho as cham
pions of the Pacific northwest and
had a strong team this year. Dur
ing the season just ended he has
accomplished a great deal for his
:team.
He is very mtieh pleased with
the showing of his farmer eleven
thiayear, and thinks that the rec
ord they have made is worthy; of
much praise, Owing to the en
forced abstinence from athletic
sports at Corvallis for several years
"by order of the faculty , football
suffered severely-for a time, and
the team put out last year was far
below Corvallis' former standard.
This year, however, the success of
he gridiron gladiators has exceed
ed all expectations, and much of
the credit is due to Coach Her
ijDld's efficient work. He - has
fceen secured for Corvallis next
year, and judging from the mate
rial he will have on hand, he could

Grants Pass, Or., Dec. 12. The
Williams Creek Grant's-Pass stage
was held up by a lone robber this
afternoon. The stage was on its
way out to Williams when a young
fellow with a red mask appeared
from the woods, and, presenting a
revolver, commanded the driver
and one passenger to hold up their
hands. The appearance of the
highwayman was so sudden and un
expected that theie was nothing
else to bo done but to comply. The
robb?i then ordered the mailbags
to be thrown out. This was done,
and then he commanded the driv
er to drive on. Later it was found
that the mailbags had been opened
and ooly $15 in registered matter
secured, as the mail was light. The
efficera are in pursuit, Sheriff Lew
is, with two deputies, having gone
out to the scene of the'hold-up.

They are wanted at Grant's Pass
on EU3picion of having ' been con
nected with the hold-up of the
stage coach on the Grant's Pass-
Wilhams mail - route, which took
place yesterday afternoon.
At the time of the hold-up there
was only one passenger, Thomas
Kelly, on the stage besides the dri
ver, Edward Harriot. The stage
passed a narrow point on the road
a short distance from Grant's Pass,
when, at the point of a six-shooter
eld by a man whose face was
masked with a white handkerchief,
the driver was ordered to throw his"
money out. Harriot, who had $15
in one pocket belonging to himself
and I loo in another pocket
which he was carrying for a friend
of his, promjly delivered up the
$15. The passenger Kelly, had but
2o cents, which . he yielded without
undue persuasion.
. While they were thus engaged a
rancher named Bryant drove along
and he was also held" up by the
robbers, but "he had no money and
was ordered to make himself scarce.
He hurried to Grant's Pass and re
ported the affair.
The sam&day a miner, named A.
J. Heater was held up by two men
near the Dry diggings, who were al
so masked with white bankerchiefs,
aDd used revolvers in their work.
The elder of the two kept' Heater
covered with his gun, while; the
younger relieved him of his money,
$4-in silver and $5 in gold, after
which he was released and ordered
to "hurrv along."
The sheriff of Josephine county
and the deputy marshal tjok up
the tracks of the rubber.?, which led
to the . Southern Pacific railroad,
near Gold-Hill.. There they saw
the three men mount the blind
baggage of the southbound express
as it was pfftling out, and they wir
ed to Ash! and to arrest the meji.

here by people arriving on the
steamer Acapulco. --; .-.

Washington, Dec. 13, Hearings
were begun today before the eub-
committee cn - judiciary of t the
House on the anti-tiuet bills. Rep
resentative Morrell (Pa.), who has
intioduced a resolution appropriat
ing $250,000 for the use of the attorney-general
in enforcing "the
Sherman anti-trust law, stated that
he had shown his resolution to the
attorney-general, who, he aaid, was
favorable to it. -Morrell also said
that he had shown the resolution to
the president, who authorized him
to say that he was heartily in favor
of its provisions. Morrell explain
ed that the president, however, had
not thought of dictating in any way
to the committee. .
Representative Gillett , (Maes.)
explained the purpose of his , bill,
which provides for the seizure and
condemnation of any property
"owned or manufactured underany
contract or by any trust or combin
ation or pursuant to any conspira
cy forbidden by laws of a state and
being in the course of transporta
tion from such state to another
state."
A maximum penalty of $20,000
fine or five year3 imprisonment is
imposed.
Washington, Dec. 9.: The arrests
of the British and German subjects
in Caracas today are believed to be
in the nature of a retaliation for the
ultimatum which has been sent to
Venezuela for a settlement for the
long-standing claims of Germany
and. Englaud against her. Inciden
tally such action by Venezuela
will, it is believed unvelve
thi Government, as the Ger.
man and Britisn representatives in
Venezuela. Before leaving Caracas,
requested United Statss - Minif-tsr
Bowen to take charge of their inter-
ests in Venezuela. It was said at
the State Department today that
bis requests would be granted, and
the probability is that Mr , Bowed
already has taken steps toward that
end.
Considerable surprise is expressed
here over the arrests, as the result
will be to add to the serious com
plications already existing.

found yesterday iu the canyon near
their upturned boat, lhe engineer s
body has not been recovered, and
search has been abandoned,' owing
to the high stage of the water and

Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 13, The su

decision w"hich is regarded by Chris
tian Scientists as a vindication of

fused to give medicine to his Sick
child. The child died and the fath
er was arrested and fined $3oo. The
case was appealed to the state su

cine to children when ill is not a
violation of the laws of the state.
