Miss Cloy, the daughter In the family had to give sp her studies at college on account of Illness, and that is the reason for the change of plan. George Gray and family arrived M Corvallis Saturday, and on Sunday , proceeded to the home ot his brother, Joe Gray. Qeorge Gray was a pioneer ' resident of Benton. He left here 36 years ago, taking up his reeldeoce in Grande Rounds Valley, where he has entenslve stock and farming lands. Only the oldest residents of Corvallis were able to greet htm. as acquaint ance. On retiiicg from the Pioneer Ba&;y, Carl Hodes wishes to express his appreciation of the consideration ahown him by the bread and oaks eat ers of this locality; that while business In a short time will recall him to Alba ny, he shall leave Corvallis entertain ing the best wishes for the prosperity and happiness cf her people. But, while all this Is true, he would be pleased to have a financial settlement wHh all our goo l people who may ihnoced to have become his debtor. It was on the stage, en route for Albany. Borne ot the Medic football boys were passengers. So was a Cor vallis man. One ot the Medics talked. "Those O. A. C. boys are the most gentlemanly players, . I ever went against. Their treatment ot us was of the most courteous kind. During ' the game, they had nothing to say, no kick to ralso. They just played ball, and they played like ," well it ihymed with smell. ' . On some account, Corvallis mer chants, in the past two months have - done a heavier business than they ev er did before. The volume has far surpassed anything they have hither to- mown. Home ot them were aston ished, and in an instance or two were hardly prepared for it. This, in spite cf what was supposed to have been a shortened crop, makes the tact the more remarkable. The arrival ot new people from the East, and the advent of many families for educational pur poses, doubtless account, in rait for lhalnorease. W. 8. Liavllle spent Sucdiy , at Carlton. ' t -" : E.

Four acres were planted the latter part . of May, and in spite of the unfavorable sea son, the yield was 45 ; bushels per acre.

XTrV mcmto tmp i ED IN GOOD GAME ON -O. A. C. FIELD. Tbe Score Was Naught for the Doctors, and Twenty-Two fot the College Men The ' Play in Detail. , . i . , - j The O. AC. men -defeated the University cf Oregon Medics at foot ball in a game oa O." A. C. field Saturday afternoon by a score of 22 to nothing. The O. A. C. men crossed the doctors' goal line five times, but one of the touchdowns was not counted because an 0. A. C. player used his hands in tack ling a Medic.. Tbe game was. one sided, because the Medics were not a match in. strength,, speed or team work of the college men. 4 The vis itors, failed to gain a single yard either through line or around end, while the college ' men smashed through their line and rounded ends for 259 yards during the 28 minutes of play. The' halves were, to have been 20 and 15 minutes re spectively in length, but a thunder storm cut short .- the ' last , half to eight minutes ot actual playing. ibree touchdowns were made in, the first, and one in the- last 'half. ; About two more plays would have added another, as when time waj called Steckle's men bad tbe ball and were beaded etraight for the doctors goal. Some ragged ball in tbe way of fumbles :aqd , mistaken signals was observable among the collegians, but all this was more than atoned for in the application of a consistent team-work that has not hitherto been in vogue among them. The Medics never had a look at O. A. C.'s goal, and after trying the line for. losses a few times in the early stage of the game, quit Btraignt football and relied solely on punting to protect; their goal. Football enthusiasts who saw the same are confident now that, wheth er it wins or loses, this year's elev en will play better ball and strong. er ball than has been played by O a. Ki. in years.. . ; .....-.-.. Several hundred people watched the game, and got more than thei4 money's worth. . .The big merof the 5 Medics' j team were ' pitted against Bundy and Abraham, re spectively. 1 hey were Ross again-t Buody at guard and Grieve against Abraham at taskle. Both weighed over zuu pounds, but neither ever broke through his man for funny plav behind the Agric line. Cen ter Walker,' as nsual played all ov er tbe field, running down punts, and otherwise tearing up things in a way that gained him wide repute as a center last year. At end, Cooper pla ' dagood game, and Dunlap, at tiii ard never failed to get his man out iif the way, 'which, was many, a tinr-. ' ! The game in detail was: ? 1 Minlap kicked to Austin who wa- downed on Medics' 20 yard lie- Medics attempted a play but fo nv led and it was "Rhiuebart's bat. on Medics' 20 yard line.-,-. O. A.

CarlpiiB Tribe, ' Low Sown ' in th ' ' Scale of Humanity. . ; A hunter of big game in Africa gives a description' of a 1 tribe' of natives whom be found there, the: Watwa. "These nativesj" he' says, "live In the" swamps, their staple article of diet be ing fish and flour made from the seed of the water illy, although during the rains .they . grow, patches of cassava root - and sweet potatoes at the edge' of .the swamp. They ' smear their bodies with mud to tirotect them from mosquitoes' and are extremely dirty and evil smelling in consequence. They are very low down in the scale of -humanity -and have" a bad reputation a "?InS' f the pSh ground, our visit. We engaged several Watwa natives as carriers, but they only cameJ to see what they could steal. One day I shot a reed buck in sight of the camp and left two Watwa to carry it in while I went after A hartbeest, but I never saw either men or buck again. It was no use following them Into the swamps, as ' they knew every inch of the ground and water.' -. They had small canoes . hidden everywhere, and immediately they . crossed a stream they sunk the canoe again where they alone knew where to find it. Our boys were afraid to follow them, as they used poisoned - arrows and sometimes set poisoned stakes in the tracks lead ing to their haunts." DAME JULIANA BERNER, Sbe Wa a Fifteenth Century Anthor r lty Fly FiiMiig. , ' ' .' The' " first ' printed , English book on angling was Dame Juliana Berner's "Book of St Albans," which, appeared about 1450, and; contained a chapter entitled "A Treatyse. on Fyshynnge With an 'Angle." ;! r !: Ply fishing must have been practiced much earlier -than this, as nothing but a gradual evolution could account for the complete list of flies for the fish ing months of the year which it gives. '. To Dame Berner belongs the honor of first telling that the salmon could be caught with the fly.' She says: "Al so ye jaSy" take hym, but it is seldom seeifwitb. a dubbe at. such times as when he lepith in lyke- fourme and manere as ye- do a trought or a. gray . ling" Her knowledge seems more complete, than could have been that of the original inventor, so that the time when fly fishing . originated in British -waters must remain uncertain. Dame Berner's flies -wjll kijl trout today, and her twelve were the foun dation of those of which Izaak Wal ton said quaintly in 1653: "Thus have you a jury of flies, likely to betray and condemn river." all the trouts in the P.
