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

years ago, taking up his reeldeoce in
Grande Rounds Valley, where he has
entenslve stock and farming lands.

and happiness cf her people. But,
while all this Is true, he would be
pleased to have a financial settlement

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.

ED IN GOOD GAME ON -O.

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.

THE WATWA OF. AFRICA.
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."
