Her place in the school room has been filled by Miss Lindgren. The enrollment up to date at the public school is 440, against 420 at this time last year.

L.A.Bundy, th redoubtable guard of last year's QAC football team, over whose non-arrival at college there has been much worry in football circles, put in an appear ance Thursday and is now in col lege. He is the ninth man of last year's team to enlist in the service for the new campaign. Last year tfctfc was trouble at the new public school building on account of the basement being continually over tun with water (luring the rainy season. The trouble, however, has been over come by the use of tiling that has inst heen nlared. and which con nect with the sewer, thus promising dryness ana warmtn in me miner to damp apartment. The Henderson brick is fast nearing completion. The plaster ing is all done, and all that remains is to put in the floors, the front and the windows, and to do the paint ing.

The teams will line up for scrimmage at .2:30 and a big crowd is certain to be on Hand to see how touchdowns were made a few years ago. Sunday's Oregonian contained a write-up of the first concert given by Prof. Ruthyn Turney in Port land since his location there as in structor in the Western Academy of Music. Among other things concerning the event, the Oregon ian says: "Mr.. Turney is an accom ' plished violinist to whom ordinary violin music presen's no difficulty, so thorough is his technique and so satisfactory his tone, His bowing is graceful, and he is also a skill ful composer, one of his encores be ing 'First Nocturne,' written while he was touring at Skagway. He was very cordially received, and is a welcome addition to Portland's violinists." Officers of the OAC cadet bat talion are equipped this year, for the first time in complete unitorm, according to army regulations. Sixteen fine new sabres and belts arrived the other day at Miller's store and have been delivered to the officers, each of whom has provided his own equipment at an expense of about $20. The sabres are of the United States Army require ments, with German silyer guard and scabbard, fine steel nickle-plat-ed etched blade, and black grip with reguiar officers service belt of russet leather with dejachableslings. Each sabre is engraved with the initials of the officer who owns it. All the officers are equipped now with complete uniform, and recruits can easily distinguish them from privates. A private letter from Manager Stone explains some things about the new train service. The wait of the evening train for the" arrival from Portland involves a delay of two to four hours, and causes the company an additional expense of about $75 per month, On a form er occasion the company ran such a train for some months between Corvallis and Albany, but the pas senger business failed to pay, and it was taken off. The most re ceived any month was $130. In his letter, Mr. Stone says: "If we cannot get enough money tiut of the holding this train up in the evening until 7:15 to pay the ad ditional expenses, we reserve the right to take it off at any time. However, I beg to assure you that 11 we can make it a paying invest- ( meut, the train will be continued." Thursday visitors in Corvallis were Joseph Edwards and family of Bellfountain. With his family M. Gleason departed p. few days ago for Albany to reside.- . . .. Thursday visitors in' Corvallis on business intent, were Ed Plunk ett and family, of Kigs Valley.

Hurt was returned to the asylum Wednesday, having been accompanied on the trip by her husband. In some respects her condition is slightly improved, but it was deemed better, on various accounts to take her back to Salem for further treatment. The wonder now is what are hop prices to go to. Several bun dred bales changed hands in Port land Thursday at 30 cents. With reports of the big shortage in the English crop, growers everywhere are holding for fancy prices, and it looks as if further sensational ad' vances might be seen.

A well known former resident of Benton county met his death while acting as brakeman on a train near Los Angeles, a few days ago. He was Merl Jackson, who was born and reared near Monroe, where many relatives- now reside. Mr. Jackson was about 23 years of age, and the trip was the first that he had made after beiug tak en on as a regular employe of the road. In some manner he fell be tween the cars, and lived but 20 minutes after the accident. Many friends in this vicinity will regret the news. Interment was at Los Angeles. ' ' They are his parents. They are aged. They are suing him now. In 1900, they transferred 1 farm to him. It was all they had. A condition of the transfer was that he should thereafter ' support and tare for them. Until last July, the son paid proper attention to the old folks, then he ceased to do so. Their land was gone, and they were without income. They were obliged to go to other relatives for shelter. The suit is in the Albany courts, and they are endeavoring to force him and his wife to deed the property back to them. The above facts are set out in the complaint. It is the old story of helpless old age, and the ingratitude of man. When children forget and forsake parents, what is the drift of the world, and what hope in civiliza tion? ."

Afternoon's Football Game. Displayed conspicuously on the bulletin board at the college is a group picture of the 1897 football team, which is to give battle this afternoon in the alumni game on OAC. With the group is . a num ber of scores made during its last season of playing by the champion team. A mong them are, McMinn ville Colleg, o; OAC, 56; Albany College,,o; OAC, 40; Un'ivcrsltybf Washington, o; OAC, 16; Univer sity of Oregon, 8, OAC, 26. In the McMinnville game, Scoggins made a touchdown on the kickoff. An other player received the ball and muffed it, about the five yard line. Scoggins picked it up and . dashed towards the enemy's goal, 105 yards away. The McMinnville nleu swarmed about him and made des perate efforts to down the agile little half back, but he wriggled, plunged, side-stepped and squirm ed his way through the whole bunch, and never stopped until he had planted the pigskin across the line for a touchdown. The play was sensational in the extreme, and sent the sideliners. into spasms of delight. , Of all the games played by the famous team that with the Univer sity of Washington was the greatest The teams were not unevenly matched, and up to nearly the close of the first half no touchdown had been made. The ball had been passing back and forth with honors fairly even, until finally OAC got it and started down the field with fierce line bucks, using halves, full back and tackles with powerful ef fect. Steadily backward they pushed the Washington men until a few minutes before the end of the hall, when they crossed the line for a touchdown. A , great crowd of people watched the game, and the scene that followed was one of pandemonium. Two touch downs were made in the last half, and the final score was 16 to o, in favor of OAC.
