There is general complaint
among hunters concerning the
scarcity of china pheasants this
season. Traveling mea who stopp
ed at Corvallis for the purpose of
taking advantage of the open sea
son and who accompanied friends
on a hunting trip early Sunday
morning, came in at 4 p m. with
only one or two birds to their cred
it. Experienced hunters in Cor
vailis met with no better luck, and
it is thought that there has been
hunting going on quietly for the
past two months, regardless of the
law, which probably accounts for
. the scarcity of the Oregon hunter's
favorite game.

An article in - Monday's Tele
gram tells of the -success that A.
F. Hershner is meeting, wjth la the
Gresham schools. Two years ago
be undertook the establishment of
a high school, beginning with ten
pupils. Now the number has in
creased to fifty, and the course is
made the same as that in the Port
land high school. The Gresham
school, under Prof. Hershner's
principalship has grown to an en
rollment of nearly 200. . .
Samples of corn have been
promised the committee that ha
in hand the collecting of specimens
for the Benton exhibit to the Lewis
and C'ark fair, but still other sam
ples are desir d. Ash and -hazel
wood samples have been promised
by the Norwood Trading Company
at Bruce. Taken altogether, how
ever, the worjt of collecting is more
difficult and tedious than it should
and would be if every one would
awak en to the interests that are at
stake, and lend a hand towards
making the exhibit representative
of Benton's wonderful resources
and natural productiveness.

(bark by the Alsea peelers can be

Henkle pool, and incidentally, it
and the other pool sold last week,
nearly cleans up the peeled bark
stock of the Al?ea Valley, which is
:hittim headquarters. The Hen

rounds. The pooj last week, went

Only about a dozen or fifteen
voters have registere d as a result
of the re-opening of the registra
tion books at the county clerk's
office. . The "books were opened
September 30, and are to remain
open lor registration purposes un
til October 20. In the main it is
new arrivals in the country who
have become citizens since ths June
election that are registering, though
in one or two instances the elector
has just attained majority, whiie
others have changed residence
from the place where they were
formeraly registered. In instances
of the latter, but two freeholders
are required to make the affidavit
necessary for the change to be
made. By the new arrangement,
each elector gives,his political pref
erence, which, by tin way. United
States Senator Fulton says, in his
opinion, makes the law unconstitu
tional. V

mobile had bis machine and his
broth-T out for an airing Saturday
afternoon. The horse ' thev met
wrecked the buggv, threw out its
occupants and nearly ki led one of
the1 latter. Tbe autoist is now
face to face with a firm of la yers,
a claim for $50 damages and pos
sibly, a lawsuit. Autobubbling is
lovely, but if comes high.
A list of promotions in the ca
det battalion at the college was to
have been announced yesterday
morning, but. on account of the ar
rival of the new commandant, the
matter was postponed. The pro"
motions are occasioned by an in
crease in the number of companies
and the consequent necessity for a
larger number of officers. "
-There are more families now
in Corvallis and her suburb than:
ever before. In spite of the many
dwelling houses built and ' put in
habitable shape by repairs, every
possible shelter is filled to its tit
most fullness. Two old church
buildings have each been ' trans
formed into two dwelling houses,
and the four resultant places shelt
er four families. Newcomers from
the East and Oregon families seek
ing educational facilities supply ma
terial for this large and ' constant
growth in population. A bigger
and better Corvallis is to be a
feature of the future. "i-
Many people attended the
meetings of the County Board of
Equalization iu session at the
court house all. last week. None
asked for a raise in assessment, but
the requests for a lowering of valu
ations were as with one voice. '"Inn
numerous instances virtue : was
found in the claims of the taxpsy
ers, and changes were made. So
many matters came up for adjudi
cation that the board was unable
to dispose of all in the. week of
time allot ed by law for the session,
and a lot of business went over to
be disposed of by the county court.
Litigation is said to be likely
over Frank Whitaker's crop of
hops, aggregating 24.00a pounds.
Formerly a contract existed in
which the output of the yard was
contracted for a term of years to
Faber and Neis. The grower
claims the contract is no longer in
effect, and proposes to dispose of
the crop at the best obtainable
figure to any comer. The ther
insists on a delivery, and therein
is the chance for a lawsuit. So far,
no l?gal steps have been taken, but
it is said to be the purpose of
neither side to yield, save at the
end of a legal scrimmage. , . T
Complaints multiply concern
ing the lack of water conveniences
for use in required sewer connect
ions. In one new house under
construction, the water supply has
to be taken through the neighbor's
back yard with the lack of force
and paucity of volume incident
thereto. If the neighbor happens
to reed water at any particular
time, the occupants of the - new
house will have to wait till he is
through. Requests for a main wi tn
which to serve the new house ape
not honored by the Water Com
pany, and for obvious reasons.
The company, naturally enough,
hesitates to make extensions while
the water business is in so unsettled
a state. Until new arrangements
can be made, the unsettled condi
tions will continue and there will
be a constant lack of water for
toilet and other service in
residences.
