Walter has made rapid strides in his chosen field of labor, and although 18 years of age has a'ready held several positions of more than passirg importance for one of his years Many frieuds in Corvallis predict for him a very briaht future. It wasn't the purpose in a lo cal mention in Saturday's Times to hold up the idei that v tes for tbe silk flag should 1 e thrown for one of the leiding 'candidates and against the others. OAC means much to Corvallis, and it ha its claims. The public school system is the bulwark of civil liberty, and it has its claims that cannot be ov erlooked. The local fire depart ment is an unthanked organization in which gratuitous service is given for local protection, and its claims are both sentimental and substan tia'. - TO CARE OF STRANGERS. A five weeks tour by Rev. Father Springer of the Southwest and Middlewest closed with his ar rival in this city Sunday morning. The route was via San Francisco. New and Old Mexico, Texa, and thence to St. Louis aud Kansas City going, and via Pueblo and Salt Lake on the homeward journ ey. Several days were spent at the St. Louis Fair, where wonders in inveution, art and handicraft, such as the world never saw gath ered together before, were viewed. At the Fair even a whole day in some instances tails- to enable the visitor to see all that is to be seen in a single building. " The new football rules are out, and changes still further decrease the mass formations and the con sequent roughness of the game. The entire field is a checkerboard this year, instead of only that part of it between the 25 yard lines as last year. There can never be less than six men in the rush line and if only six are here, then one of the men who plays behind the line must be outside the man occupying the portion on the end of the line of scrimmage. The quarterback may run with the ball in any part of the field, and at any time, pro vided the above condition is com plied with and so long as he runs at least five yards outside of the spot where the ball was put in play. The only other change of moment is that a field goal from a place or drop kick only counts four points insi ead of five as heretofore. with relatives at Seattle. J. Harding, a young teacher ot Gaston has determined to enter the pharmacy class at O. A. C. next month. Mr. Harding has won con siderable reput'-tion as an athlete, and he is a candidate for hon rs on the O. A. C. football "team Mr. J. Waldo Finn, of M".Coy. who was billed for West Point or Annapolis, has decided to enter the O A. C. next term. He has two brothers who are now officersin the U S army, one of whom is a cap tain, Oa September 4th there will be divine service at West Wood church in Pleasant Valley.

C. last year, has been em ployed to teach English branches in the Hill academy ot Portland. , Meigs Bartmess and Mr. Kilpack j were selected as instructors of that school as the result of Dr. Hill's visit to Corvallis prior to commence ment. Wheat is 77 cents per bushel in the local market. Markets abroad are firm, but very sluggish with but little grain moving. About half tbe local wheat crop has reach ed the mills, and of this about three fourths has passed out of the farm ers hands at prevailing prices. Good oats is quoted at 35 cents per bushel, t The county court is placing watering accommodations for the public at the court house square. The fountain is located on the north side of t'e' block, and is for the use of both man and beast. The ar rangement for horses is a trough, so adjusted as to remain: lull of wa ter constantly. The convenience is one that the public has talked about and askei for, a long time. An important concession has been secured by the county court of the promoters of the electric rail road by County Judge Watters. It is an agreement for the free trans portation for road buildiner material I over roads that may be traversed by the proposed lines. This in cludes gravel hauling, and will, in case the line materializes, make road building cheap and easv over routes covered by the electric road. The funeral of Mrs. Mary M. McLagan occurred from the family home Sunday afternoon. The in terment was in Odd Fellows ceme tery. After an illness of but a few days, Mrs McLagin died Friday morning, aged 77 years. She was born in New York, and after a res idence of several years there aud in Illinois, she married William McLa gan November 26, I848.

Mrs. Jesse Spencer and Mrs. Tucker, Corvallis, O. C. McLagan, Alaska, and Douglas MeLagan, California. Benton Couaty Parents and Their Chil dren -Two Commitments. ' - ' - .... . . .

The o'tVer' commitment &rried with it another tragedy of mind and heart. The mother is Miss Mary Howell of Glenbrook. Ther-i is no legal lather. The girl is but j eighteen years of age and at . tne co urthouse th face wore an expres sion that told the sad story of men tal worry. The attste was iu keep ing with the rest of the melah h51y sec e. The child is four months of age, and bears the name, Orpha. As she'signed the paper' that gave the innocent babe to the Portland so ciety, the mother told her story, and named the father, a young man of the vicinity of Glenbrook. She accompanied her babe to Portland. A big half of the world knows nothing of the wretchedness and misery the other half daily and hourly suffers. I CAT HOSIERY !

Occidental Hotel Failure ot Mr. Brunk Liabilities Two Thousand. The Occidental Hotel is cl sed to the public, and Landlord Brunk may leave today with hisfamily f r Port land to res'de The doors were dosed and locked shortly befoie noon Saturday, and .are not to re opened underthe late management Mr. Brunk has filed a petition of voluntary bankrup cy, and the as set of the estate will go into- the hands of a trustee for disbursement Sometime will be required in effect ing a settlement, and until that is done, the hotel will remain closed. Talk on the street is to- the effect that Clarence Cbipnun, proprietor of the Commercial restaurant will lease the hotel prop rty. and later reopen the well known hostelry to the public. No official papers have been filed as yet, but it is understood that the liabilities of Mr. Brunk aggregate about $2,000. Among them is the bill of .Homer Lilly for meat, $492, a claim of M. S. Woodcock for rent and loans, about $700, Walter Tay lor, milk bill, $150, and other small er amounts. The assets consists of the hotel furnishings valued at $3,000. A petition of voluntary bankruptcy was prepared and for warded Monday for filing in the United States court at Portland. A trustee will shortly be elected by creditors to settle up the estate. The failure is much regretted in Corvallis whee Mr. Brunk has many friends. The occasion of it is dsubtless due to the advent of Hotel Corvallis with its superior appointments and the division of business that was c nsequene therp from. The Occidental was built 25 years ago, and until Saturday forenoon its doors have never since the opening day been closed to the public. It was a great money maker in the old days of railroad building, and until a newer and better establishment appeared on the scene it always commanded a remunerative trade.
