Apparently the sheriff of Multno
mah county fell into ; grievous error
in his first notice of sale of property for
delinquent taxes, published in the Or
egonlan of Monday of last week. . The
notice stated in that issue that the
sale would be January 6th, that the
sheriff had levied cn the property, and
that the sale would be to the highest
bidder at auction. --Under the new
law, the property is not levied on, and
it Is not to the -highest : bidder. Ac
cording to the original notice but three
weeks time was given. In Monday's
Oregonlan the notice appears changed
to meet -the requirements of the new
law. and sets the, date for January
20tb. - '. . ;

A, LOGGER'S. WILD SHOT
It Put Botsford & Sargent Out of Busi
ness for Two Days. . : r
b Botsford & Sargent is the name
of the firm which conducts a shoot
ing gaHery and nigger-baby nurs
ery in a long tent on the unimprov
ed lot just south of the Hotel Cor
vallis. Pretty much all kinds : of
people go there to take a crack at
the mocking bird or some other of
a dozen species of lairds arranged j
there for the convenience oi the
marksmen. There are also op
portunities for the man who can't
handle a ctin.. For a small con
sideration he has the privilege of
pelting the colored juvenile family
with baseballs,; The latter amuse
ment is attended with less, danger
to residents of the vicinity, and to
the nigger babies themselves, than
is occasionally the target practice
This fact was forcibly illustrated
a few. evenings ago when a logger
whose vision was somewhat . im
paired by intoxication took a shot
and missed the whole flock of birds.
Whed the gun was . discharged,
there was no familiar 'spat" against
the background; - there was no
sound of the center bell, the cuck
oo s voice was still, and there was
not a twitter from any one of the
fnatherecVtribe. The persons present
looked at each, other jn. wonder
and the nigger babies were -: drunk
with astonishment. Where had
the bullet gone? The problem was
solved when Marshal Miller ap
peared on the scene and. announced
that a shot had been' fired through
one of the rear windows of his
residence on the opposite side of
the block.
Mr Sargent" states that he did;
not notice, at nrst, that his . patron
was drunk,- and that the gun was
accidentally discharged.: However,
on complaint of Mr Miller the
shooting gallery way closed on
the ground that the business as
conducted was dangerous. To ov
ercome this objection the proprie
tors on Friday c ompleted an ex
tensive structure at the rear of the-
tent similar , to the backstop on a
baseball field. It is 14 feet high
and 34 feet long,1 and built of two
inch lumber. The authorities in
spected the structure Saturday
morning and pronounced the ar
rangement safe, at least as far as
Miller's residence is concerned. Ac
cordingly, business wasresumed at
once. After this Mr Sargent will
insist that any of his boozy patrons
shall take their " amusement wit,h
the babies, - .

PREPARATIONS ON
The Plav Will be" Fast and Furious -
Football Teams and Coaches.
"Interest in football never - ran
higher than it does now in certain
sections of Benton county, Dusty
and . Philomath Woodmen are pitted
against each other for a big game
to be played on O AC held the after
noon of December 30th. That is
the day ior the Woodmen celebra
tion, and -all the . members round
about as well as other people inter
ested in sports will be in, town to
see things a-doing. " The occasion
will be the climax of days and days
of preparation, and.- the biggest
thing of all will be the football
game. For it, the country is being
scoured for Woodmen who can
punch the pigskin the hardest or
tackle the other side the most:, suc
cessfully and out ofit all excitement
and fun is a brewing. Both teams
are hard at practice, and each has a
coach to put the players on to the
latest tricks and formations. Bruce
Burnett is coaching the Dusty team
and David Gellatly is doing a sim
ilar stunt-for the Philomath men.
With an awful lot of good muscle
and big brawn on both sides, there
will be razors in the air, figuratively
speaking, when the two lines go up
against each other.
Players from the Philomath team
were in town yesterday laying in
football supplies, and it is supposed
went home with shin guards - nose
guaids, arnica and other necessi
ties. - Corvallis people are looking
forward to the game, and will at
tend it in large numbers. - i
