The canvas Is so fashioned that it is In seotlonB, Which cm be laced together, forming a single stretch, the seams being overlapped bo as to prevent leaking. Tbe arrangement will be reedy tor use in a few days. The wild scenes of the Pullman football game last November were repeated in the College . Armory Thursday evening, when the career of victory that the basket ball team, from the University of Washington has been making through Oregon was suddenly stopped by a defeat administered by the OAG men in a game in which the record runs, OAC 22; Washington, io. When th Washingtonians reached Cor vallls they had the scalps of the Dallas College men at their belts with a score of 22 to 16, and had triumphed over the State -Normal team with a record of 20 to 12. Dallas bad beaten OAC 13 to 4, and the horizon on which the OAC men and the sympathizers looked when the game began was all hung with clouds, mourning and Cat astrophe. It was a bold OAC fn thusiast who could scent victory or cherish hopes of it m the out look, and when at the 'end of the first half the record ran OAC, 10 Washington.' 5. and at the close of the game OAC, 22, Washington, 19, which meant that the big Uni versity in the "North had been licked, there was a scene of pan demonium in which' -ioo or 400 people waved umbrellas, unfurled handkerchiefs, and yelled them selves hoarse.f ;There was a big crowd and ' in terest throughout was at high ten sion. . The game opened and for a few minutes the play wavered back and forth in the field, until Moores finally captured the ball and threw a tpretty field goal. There was a wild yell, that was xepeated within a minute when from : far a-field, Moores again hurled the ball square ly in the basket. This j made the scores OAC, 4; Washington naught. Seattle followed up the play with a field goal, and Moores as quickly sent the ball spinning for another basket.- Washington then made a loui lor one point and the score stood, Oregon, six; Washington, three. A brilliant field goal thrown by Moores would have made Ore gon's record eight but it failed to count becaose Moores dribbled the the ball: Then Cate put the .sphere home ior another two points, and Coates followed up for ' a . pretty goal and rolled up Oregon's score to 10. A minute before it'ended, Washington made the final goalof the half and the score was, Oregon, 10; Washington, five.' In the second half. Moores open ed up with a goal, and Seattle quickly returned the compliment. 1 hen Swan threw another for Ore gon and then anothef, and again Washington countered with anoth er, making tbe record 14 to 9. Again Swan sent the sphere for a basket, when big McDonald threw two in rapid succession for Sea'tle, which Swan ' followed up with one more for'Oregon. making the score 18 to 13. By this.titne the excite ment was intense and the tension drew tighter when the giant Mc Donald plunging through the Ore gon men lifted the Seattle balance to 15 by another goal. Oregon was but three ahead now, and when Swan slipped out of the arms of a big guard and hurled the ball in to another basket the roof ' of the Armory was almost lifted by human yells. 7 They were short lived though for McDonald again plough ed through for one and then an other basket, and the score stood, Oregon. 20; Warhington, 19. A dispute then arose.over a goal each thrown by Swan ; and McDonald, and neither was ' allowed. There were still five minutes of play, and 400 people ionged for the thing to end. Here and there the ball flew, now towards the ; Washington and then the Oregon goal until finally little Swan got it, and . with a quick unerring aim. he sent it fly ing into the last basket of the game, and ended the anxiety of the hun dreds of interested onlookers. The game wis the most exciting ever seen in the Armory. The Ore gon men played beautiful team work, and each was a star. Coates played a dashing game, at guard, and Steiwer in he - same position laid it over his man. , The field goals of Moores and Swan were spectacular, and Cate and Stokes played consistent and excellent ball. . The next game at the Armory is between OAC and U. of O., on the 26th inst. . ' n The chief topic of conversation in town now is the war in the Orient. Every person seems to have an in terest in the struggle, ' and as far as expressions have been -heard the sympathy and good will is nearly if not all with Japan. In "every pub lic place and resort the war is dis cussed, and. news each day is awai ted with absorbing interest. The intelligence of the daring raid by the Japanese torpedo boats on Port Arthur, which resulted in the dis abling of three Russian vessels with out damage to the Japanese assail ants elicited ftrahy an expression of satisfaction. The act is commented upon as cleverT daring and intelli gent to an extreme degree. The strange paradox in that Japan after taking Port Arthur by assault from China in the late war between Japan end that nation, while now the powerful fortress and its ample har bor is in the hands of Russia as a result of cunning and craft of diplo macy, is a condition that is not lost sight of. The comment . is that if any. nation other than China had a right to Port Arthur, it was Japan with her honorable and triumphant record in the struggle with the grea ter nation. It was not Japan how ever, but Russia that plucked the plum, which she has since used as a basis for acquiring still further territory that is the ancient herita ge of another people. i Next to news from the scene offl operations, the factsithat are sought witn tne most intense interest, are the comparative resources of ' the two belligerents, and how they are affected by the facts of where the scene of hostilities is laid.- The question of Tiow this" will affect the ultimate outcome of the contest, is what creates intense interest in the figures. All know that the navy of Japan is modern- throughout, and that the little yellow man has the advantage of a recent experience in actual warfare on the sea. While in actual numbers the fighting ships of Russia are far more numerous, the number1 off fighting machines that she can actually throw into the breach is not greatly superior to what Japan can muster. Her sym pathizers count on it that 'Japan is .better prepared at the outset, and will all the time manifest superior intelligence in the conduct of .the struggle, lu japan too, tnere is a spirit of patriotism bordering on de votion, for wihch her people will fight with a bravery and desperation ap proaching the sublime. Back of all this too, all those who lean ' to the side of Japan seem to believe ' that the right is more on .the side of the .n i 1 it. .. n cific, and that to a certain extent this will count for something as the game of death and destruction proceeds. frmW INVENTORY This month is cleaning up month, stock adjusting time cleaning the deck for spring! business.

Mosely, of the Lewis and Clark Journal, was in the city dur ing the week setting forth the at-tractive-features of that interesting magazine. Its publishers have spared no pains to make it a fitting representative of the Lews and Clark Fair. It is probably the finest periodical of its class pub lished in the Northwest. Willis S. Duniway is its editor and chief. The Journal has a unique feature in spreading information about dif ferent localities, in that it carries as standing advertisements short, suc cinct descriptions of counties and towns, giving in fifty and one hun- dred words the salient features of a place. The following notice is given to QorvalHs and Benton: '-Corvallis invites attention to her education, scientific and industrial institutions J she takes pride in her I public buildings, city, county and j state This is the seat of the Ore gon Agricultural College.
