CSorvalHs Times! Official Paper of Benton UonntT. BTAT,T.IS. OBEOOK, OCT. 17, 1803. TWO LETTERS. Tanner to Professor and the Answer - Chittim Pest. Editor Times: A few days ago we found a young chittim tree on our farm covered with a peculiar white scale. sent a piece of bark to OAC. En closed is Prof. Cordleys reply: ' If it is any thine like as bad as it's name it must be a holy terror. Should your stray printer meet it in a dark and lonely canyon behind Alsea it may so hard with him. George Armstrong. ' 1 . Cprvallis, Oct., 9. 1903. - Prof. Cordley's letter is as follows: . - Mr. George Armstrong, The insect pest on Chittim bark, which you sent, proves it to be one of the scale insects known as Chianaspis Salicis-lNigre. It is v a somewhat common species of scale insect, widely distributed in the United States and Southern Europe and occurs, as the name in dicates, most abundantly upon wil lows . It has also been reported on poplars, dogwood, service berry and several other species of trees; never however upon Chittem bark until last summer when. Prof. Lake found it noon a single specimen in his ' journeys in the Cascades mountains. Probably the only practical thing to do to prevent the spread of this pest, now that Chittem is becoming so valuable, is to cut down and burn such trees as are found to be badly infested Of course it would be possible to destroy the scale by spraying the treeswith kerosene emulsion or whale oil soap solution but under present conditions this probably would not be pracical. ' A. B. Cordley. SUES THE CITY. For Ten Thousand Dollars Damages . I- What a bad Sidewalk did for . - ' Albany. . The importance of keeping side -walks in. good repair is frequently emphasized, when walks are Wi n-lapidated,- pedestrian-may afajay time DreaK a 11m d, or sustain otoer injuries. The result always makes a good, case for damages against the city. ' Albany is up against it in such a suit now. E. A: Truelove, a Southern Pacific bridge carpenter injured himself on a bad walk in Albany, March 29th, and he has sued the city for $10,000 damages. His complaint alleges that the city of Albany "willfully, wrong- iuny, uniawiuny, carelessly and knowingly neglected to keep that portion of the sidewalk on the east side of Lyon street between Second and Third streets in said city in re - pair and allowed dangerous holes to remain open in tbe-walk without guards, barricades or lights,' It al leges that on the night of March 29th, the plaintiff without fault or negligence oh his part stepped into a hole in the sidewalk mentioned above and was ' forcibly thrown down. That he thus received great bodily injury. The complaint states that because of . his accident the plaintiff is incapacitated to do manual labor, that he has been to great expensejfor medical treat ment, that he has suffered and still suffers great pain and distress of mind and body "all of which is. to bis great damage in the sum of $10,000." ' T . , The'case will come up for trial at the fall term of the Linn county circuit court. To Close Today. From three to four o'clock this, Saturday afternoon, all Corvallis business houses will close on ac count of the game of football be tween the OAC and the University of Washington elevens to take place on JOAC field.

The student body requested publication of this notice so that all who desire to make pnr cnases or transact business ma y have ample notification of business places to close. THEIR RALLY.

Corvallis, Oregon, October i7, i9u3 A football rally, the like pt which was never before seen in Cor vallis, occurred Thursday night. A display of enthusiasm and , college Spirit that bodes all manner of good things for OAC was manifested in a way that left no room for doubt that it was genuine. Speaking of the demonstration, Coach McFad den said he had seen no display of the kind to equal it since he .left Stanford after a victorious athletic season three years ago. . The. demonstration was a faithful duplication pf the usual political outbursts in times of presidential elections. , The student body at the college convened in the Armory at seven o'clock, and headed - by the college band marched - down town parading Main and other, streets, assembling finally at the court house. A vast number of towns people followed them, and when they all got there, the circuit court room was far too small . to accomr modate the crowd. All the seats were occuored. the people stood in the aisles, corridors and vestibules, and the overflow of the huge crowd extended into" the halls below and out into the court house yard. It has been a long time since so large a crowd was in ; the . court house, and none ever, there was more noisy. Compared with the demon stration, a similar rally of last year was as a pigmy to a giant. The exercises . comprised music by the colleere band and addresses by several citizens. - students - and others. B. W. Johnson - was i graceful and accomplished presid ing othcer. .w. h,.- Yates made an enthusiastic speech, that provoked frequent rounds of applause. and in a brief address, . Dr. Withy combe inspired the young folks' to explosions of enthusiasm. Coach McFadden was another ot the speakers and his remarks added much to his deserved popularity, A brief address was also made by W. G Emery. After ; the regular program was over, tnere were cans for Captain Bert Pilkineton. Three cheers and a tiger for him finally brought the young man to the plat form where he made a , brief - ad dress. Roderic Nash was : also called out, and he made a graceful response. There were similar calls for Root, Williams, Abraham,.: ;aS9 other inembers of thefojatball team, but most of them, as they boys say, took a, sneak." and escaped the or deal. If the success of the rally means anything, the OAC football men have a fair wind and a smooth sea before them. . No such college spirit was ever , manifest before at old OAC. At Philoma'h.
