SHEARING WITH MACHINE.
""She JSheep'.Like tit- It 1 Saves Blood,
" r Tears, Money and Skin,, ,
. The twentieth 'century lias wire
" "less telegraphy and shears sheep by
.machine. A man turns a crank
while his partner in the work holds
JOUhe sheep in a sitting '' posture' and
, presses the button, and in a mighty
.short .time the animal bounces out
f his fleece. When he is let loose,
lie doesn't look; like he had J, been
through an Irish wake; or on a
Sunday excursion out of Portland;
' jOti in ".. a railroad wreck. - On the
Mntrary:bis skin; is whole,.and his
llood is - unlet,, , and his ; ..wool is
smoothly cut, forward, a midship and
letween decks.
One of the sheep shearing ma
chines is in use now at the college,
Jt attracts much attention. Sheep-
-owners in- particular who - have
Jheard of it, go out to see it in oper
ation. , The first, work was 'done
Thursday.;.;; Seven ; ;. sheep, were
sheared with it that afternoon, and
a large number were added to the
. sheared list yesterday. ; ut ti . :i
; The machine is a queer combina
tion. A part of it might be the
business end of a barber's clippers;
another part might be out of,a den
tisfs patent .drill, with which ,he
3bres (holes o'n good.; teeth: . still
another feature ;is not unlike the
.housewife's coffee; milLv The latter
parti like a coffee mill, is fastened
to tie side of the barn,; a fence post,
a tree, or on the walls of the parlor
if tlesired. ;It has no hopper, n but
.it has a big crank that a man turns
when the sheep is i being ! sheared.
- Attached to this coffee mill arrange
jnent, is a flexible sb ait, which can
"be moved in any direction.!; At the
idof the shaft , is a . contrivance
that i works on exactly the isame
principle as a. barber's; clippers, v. It
is broad and flat, and a set of edged
lingers works quickly backward and
fprward likfc. a sickle, on under fin-;
gers of the same sort.;iThis .clipping
arrangement . is applied' to the sheep
-while the man, turns the crank, and.
that is all there; is of it. .. Wherever
the. clipper i goes a the: wool - part
conpany with the sheep.
With-the macJjiiie,.two men can
shear a hundred a day. 1 is a, .de
sirable' thing, ' because ' professional,
sheep shearers are'scarcej'andt .can;

And yet how Like it Were the .Symp'
t toms Davis and Tates Abroad. ; c
This is a tale of one of those
thines thev like to keepv quiet.- -It
concerns a trip M. M. Davis and J.
Fred Yates attempted to " make ' to
Portland and return together, but
in which, they came back-.not in
comoanv. but on opposite sides of
the ' Willamette and :' 6n! different
days in the' week;1 It is ? interesting,
because there is connected with it a
ddrk Unfathomable mystery,5 ; ;
':-r The1 pair" left '-Cdrvallis atw five
o'clock Monday morning, and after
driving to Albany, took the early
train for Portland In the' metrbpb1
lis they were to meet at a-' certain
hotel in time to take 'the ' evening
train together for! Albany, and then
drive home in' company' 'the-' same
nigfct;-"::,-"'v ;;: 'l ' :-
It was two O'clock' the followihg
morning when ' Yates 'sought the
sanctity and quietude of his own
bedchamber. ' He was rweary 'and
perplexedj ' for " his ' partner' Davis
was among the dead or missing! "
It was noon the next day that
Davis finally arrived homer, coming
via Westside, ' The reunion1 was ! a
pleasure to the pair, for 'each ' had
worried over the mysterious ab
sence of the other.'. ''' '." ' " ' T
After they had wept awhile oti
eaeh-others'bosonis they held a' sort
of an ' experience ; meeting. ; 'Mid
tears and smiles they told each other
how it all happened. t ':r: h; ; '
; In; the course of ' Ms '- 'confession,'
Davis admitted that after waiting a
long time for Yates at . the rendez
vous,' he had finally started to cross
the' river to hbar'd the train in East
Portland; that he stood in the latter
place, but that when the train came
along it did not stop to receive him; j
that he shouted and yelled at the
flying coaches till ' somebody told
him that it was the .overland and
did not take on passenge'rsl save ' at
the Union depot on the west 'side
of the river; in short'' that, though
he1 had walked ' a mile "to" board the
train, 'it' had'gone off and ' left' ' him
in Portland;' ' c ' - J ' ';
Then Yatesf shut the' doOr ' and
pulled down the blinds of his ofiBce
and after swearing Davis to. eternal1
secrecy, proceeded, himself to; ' con
fess, His '" acknowledgment ran

WHO WILL WIN.
Many From Abroad are Coming to see
This Afternoon's Track Meet.
Interest is very deep in the out
come of the field meet that.;, takes
place on,OAC field this afternoon.
It extends to other cities and towns
and people will be in attendance
from w many , of ' the'latter, It ; is
known in advance that there will be
delegates jfi om Eugene,' r Albany,
Salem,' Portland and towns along
the westside. No event that has
ever, occurred, on p A.C field t has
been watched from 'afari as will to
morrow's events.
The interest is doubled by reason
of the.promise of the closeness 1 of
the contest. The rise of the OAC
athletic team from an aggregation
of perpetual losers to One of ac
knowledged excellence, all in a sin
gle season under director Trine, and
the certainty that it will make a
very strong showing ;against the
University team and its long series
of victories, all tends to lend surpas
sing interest to the outcome of the
afternoons contests. t
Both teams have minor handi
caps for the day's 'work.- Neatly
all of the OAC men made the stren
uous trip to Portland and return
Thursday. Experts say tbat the
muscles of men are dulled "by such
experiences, and that days and days
are required to restore . them. .This
is accounted a certain disadvantage
for OAC- Swann, too is : out of the
pole vault entirely with both, arms
disabled. He has a record of 10
feet made in last Fridays meet with
Forest Grove. Moores - who, has
thus far been the leading point-win
ner for OAC has a sprained' knee,
sustained in the high jump in the
Forest Grove games, but it is hoped
that a warming up will enable him
to be in his usual form this after
noon. ' -,
Among the Eugene -men, Lwis
of the sprinter is known f 'to' be
out of form, and it is also claimed
that Payne the short and middle
distance sprinter is' not in the best
condition. '
' In whatever way the contest may
go, nowever, it is certain tnat tne
struggle will be full of excitement,
and that the, final outcome will be
worthy , of two aggregations of most
capable young athletes.

Bhould remember tbat the standard of quality has been raised all over
the country. The. object of these, manufacturers has not been to pro
duce goods at lower prices, but ; to put cut better goods at .the same
Drices if Doesible.' This (tore is progressive and has seen the demand
