The Portland' High School football team comes to Corvallis a week from next Saturday to play a game with the OAC second eleven. The game will b the next lo take place on OAG field. The second team has excellent material and is fast developing into a strong eleven. The fourteen year old son of Mr. and Mrs. G- A. Cooper, resid ing near the C & E crossing north 'of town, fell from a hone Sunday and sustained a fractnre of the arm A bone of the elbow is involved, and the injury, by reason of its location, is more serious than is usual in fractures. Two important real estate sales were made at Philomath last week. ' The residence property of Mrs. Ella McElroy. including two acres of land, went to J.B.Slaesing, of Portland for$i,ioo. TheFel ger Mill property, comprising 44 acres, and owned by J.J.Thornton, went to Jacob Tevebangh, of Cald well, Idaho, for $3,000. Mr. Teve- baugh has already taken posse-sion.

The transfer of the . hay was made Monday. Mr. Bo dine now has 300 tons of the baled product stored in his warehouse formerly the old carriage factory and as coon as a location can be secured he will open a feed store on main street. Corvallis has need of young men like Mr. Bodine, who has since his arrival here built up a first class business. He recently bought out his partner. Mr. Peck, who was one of the firm when the old factory wai bought for the purpose 01 turning it into a ware house. The heavy rains of Monday brought gladness to farmers and storekeepers. For the one, the downpour insured the sprouting of hundreds of acres of wheat al ready sown, and dollars and dol lars in probable sheep pasture, and gram to sell' next yeai. And they , made tor the store keepers a good sale ot umbrellas and winter goods'. "That's the tenth umbrella that has gone out of the store during the day,' ' remarked a merchant as he saw a lagy pass out with a brand new rain" spread. That was at two o'clock in the afternoon and the umbrallas sold and spread for the winter rains at that and other stores during the day doubtless went into the dozens.

The third game was played in Corvallis on the 15th of last October, and was won by the Washingtonians with a score of five to o. In the latter game the first half was score less, and it was well along in the last half before the Washington men finally crossed the line for the only touchdown of the game. Neith er Captain Pilkington or Guard Bundy were in the game and Dun- lap, tne well known guard was playing his first match game of football.

The big country church' in course ot construction in the JJell- fountain neighborhood is nearing completion. T e -tincture is en closed, and workmen are engaged on the inside derails. The; new church is to replace S mpson chapel, the old church that has served; the community as place of worship for over forty years. The new building is to hear t e nana? of the old one Its cost is to be over $2000. There is a new labor-saving device 00 duty at the M. Austin blacksmith shop in Corvallis. The machine is an invention of Mr. Austin, and is a disk sharpener made from a tire shrinker. It was formerly Mr. Austin's practice to sharpen discs wi h a file, one disc per hour being the number sharp ened in the old way. The new in vention sharpens four ' per hour, running with a crank and taking a steel shaving off around the edge C .1. - J L. 1 ?V .1. . ui ice uibc. ine Kmie in tne snarp- ener is made from an old file, and the whole contrivance is so simple that it is a wonder that no one has thought ot it before. -Bill -"It's all off between us, Angelina; you are nothing more to me." Angelina "What s that. dearest Bill; is our engagement broke?" Bill "Yes, Angelina; it's broke." Aoeelina "Oh, Bill; my Bill; this cruel, cruel blow; why, oh, why, this thusness, Bill?" Bill "It isn't because I do not love you, Angelina. You are the apple of me eye. But, go, girl, go and look at the date in the address on your father's Times, Look at it, girl, and t erein learn why you are nothing more to me." She fainted, and with a cold stern look on his face, Bill rolled up his pants, walked out into the raw night air, and went away forever. Apparently, while in St. Louis Mrs. Farra lost a hand bag such as ladies are wont to carry about in lieu of the pockets with which the habiliments of men are bless ed- Information as to the loss comes in a peculiar way. The finder turned out to be an honest person It would be wicked to say that is peculiar, but it would be as wicked to say all "finders" are honest. The only thine in the Farra satchel that furnished a clue for identification was a postal card addressed to Mrs." James Taylor, Corvallis. With this as a starter the finder addressed a letter to Mrs Taylor, relating the facts, and mak ing inquiry as to the name of the writer of the card, and requesting Mrs. Taylor to telegraph or write. Meantime Mrs. Farra has left St. Louis, and is well on her way by short journeys to New York City, In due time she will receive her satchel and its contents possibly after arrival at hom. Conncflrcen Solid for Mountain Water . WiIiingto Lend Financial Aid. ."- Mountain water was talked about by the city council Monday night. The late offer of the Corvallis Water Company, at a previous meeting had been ref rred to the Finance committee, but no report had been returned.- Inquiry ot the committee concerning its non-action irje ted the subject into the pro ceedings. In the remarks made by members, two facts were observa ble First, all the members seem to understand that in order to get a system of monntaiu water, the city will have to extend financial cedit, either in whole or in part. 1 he other fact seems to be, that all the membets of the council are firmly in favor of extending such aid. either i i whole or in part, and that all are willing to do everything possible 10 install yure water in Corvalli next yer. Several mem bers made public expression of their views, and continued . the discussion of the subject after ad journment, in spite of the fact that it . was near midnight when the s'seion ended. The fact that a committee had been appointed by the "Citizens League to further tbe idea a'nd plans for' mountain water was cited as an evidence that the ' people want pure water, and a declaration by one member that the council ought to get to the scratch line and stay there until . success is achieved, was warmly applauded.

Savaee Dee did It was Little Child Htpe ef Saving Sight. . There it hope of saving the eye of the little .boy, bitten by a dog at Bellfovhtain the other day, mention of which was made in Sat urday's Times. The child was playing in. the yard. He is a little tot of three years, or thereabouts. For some reason the family deg at tacked it, tearing a strip of the scalp from the top of the head for ward, to a distance of several inch es. Eight stiches were required to sew up the wound. The forehead was likewise la:erated by the dog's teeth, and a section of the bone enclosing the eye, bitten away. The eyeball was torn from the socket and left hanging on . the cheek; A , little sister of the child seized an axe lying hear, and struck the dog a savage blow In the head, repaying his attack in kind. The dog ran away, but - subse quently returned and was shot. At last accounts the child was recover ing, but is expected to bear the marks of the dog s attack through life. The child is a little three year old in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hotton, of Bellfountain. DIED AT ALBANY. A new charter, or a revised charter for Corvallis. is what City Fathers figure on. The old grant of power from the legislature has many a shortcoming. It has had the city in the courts as a victim on numerous occasions. Some times it holds water, figuratively speaking, and sometimes it doesn't. It fails also to grant to the muni cipality certain powers that it ought to have, and pretends in some instances to grant things it does not, in fact grant at all. In short, the antique old i instrument is not tfie constitution that a best and growing Corvallis ought to have. Monday night, a committee was appointed to examine into and report to tne council some Formei'BentoH County Han Was Ov er Eighty Laban Case. Laban Case, who came to Ben ton county about a quarter of a century or more ago, and resided here until recently, digd in Albany Sunday. The Democrat, ascbribes the cause to old age, and says: .

He j came ts Oregon in 1852, and for thirty years, as a Methodist minis ister, preached to the pePie of Eastern Oregon, in many of the small towns of that part of the state. About 20 years ago he came to Western Oregon, and has since resided with his children, part of the time in Albany. He . had a wonderful memory for dates, dis tances, sizes, etc, and knew the exact population of every state in the country and every country in the world. He also wrote poetrjv and while eccentric, his intentions were always good. His wife died abonti6 years ago. He leaves the following children: Mrs. Belt, of Lakeview; Mrs. Belle Booth of Salem; Mrs. Wheeler of Suver; George Case of New York City; Sam Case of Philadelphia; E. R. and Tarn Case of Albany.
