The peri d for de velopment of further cases will have expired tomorrow , and at that time a renewal of the school session can be instituted. ' v Ag'tation is rife for a rural telephone line into - the " , Beaver Creek country A meeting of farm ers of the vicinity . was h-ld at the school house last Saturday, to vote a tax for the purchase ot desks for the school house. - Incidentally, the subject of rural telephone came up, and Mr DeVarney of the In dependent Company and Mr. Mer rill of the Bell system were present It is probable that the agitation will result in a line to - that' vicin ity. There is nothing so deceiving as a saw I02. The ease with which it rolls over in thi; waterwheu a man is passing over it is surprising. That is what a very tall college student thinks about it. - With three companions, he was passing the hour away among the sawlogs moored at the mouth of Mary's river Sunday. He was tempted to walk them. He is six feet, six inches high in his stockings, but he declares that he didn't touch . .

It isn't the first instance as it were, he was caught Knapping. , It wa? in the Corvallis police court. The culprit was a young man. His eyes were red and his breath redolent ot the bug -juice that got him into jail the night be fore. The court woTe its most sol emn and severe look, and its voice was very cold and ' unsympathetic as it asked why a ine should not be imposed. ' Now, Judge, you better tut that out,'1 pleaded the prisoner. "You better cut .that out. I haven't but two dollars in do anything but get drunk any way: I say Judge, .you better cut that out." And the court was merciful. A. LCator was thrown from his wagon and his . hands run ov--er by the wheels in 7 an accident Saturday. The fame trouble broke the leg pf.a valuable horse, and the. ' animal had Jto be shot It all hap pened near James- Henderson's farm. Mr. Cator, driving with the running geats of his wagon, was enroute from his home near Skip ton's, for a load of poles. - Follow - ing him was a similar outfit, driv . en by his son. One of the horses in, the rear team became frighten; ed and in his efforts to run away, jumped on the wagon in front. The" elder Mr. Cator was thrown violently to- the ground, and the wheels of one of the wag ons passed over his hands. Much more serious injuries might have resulted, in view of the tacts. The horse,2 which was subsequently shot on account of -the broken leg, was purchased recently at the Eun ison sale at a cost of $125. J. E. Henkle and Mr. DeVarney were witnesses of the trouble. Both teams ran away, and the sight as they sped down the hill ... near the Henderson home was not pleasant to look at. The horse that was injured in the re:r team was dragg ed from tbe top to 'the bottom of the long hill. at three . 0 clock this afternoon. It looks now as if the crowd would be a hoge one. . The closing of Corvallis business houses for the occasion, the special trains, and the nonriil internal fi7frvaj h erf in t Vl f ence and Monmouth. and .from A!- ' game are indication that cannot be bany will carry excurMonists fc the understood. football game this afternoon.

Independent- telephone instruments that are already in stalled in business places"and resi dences in Corvallis, have-not been connected with the switchboard in the main office, owing to the fact that flash lights tor -the purpose'J were not on hand, to be put m.

A few-, minutes afterward;1 the same thing bapfeied.'aud then ifee Utah men became rattled, allowing theirlopppnents, to raise five touch downs in " the last five minutes cf play "it was a case of stage fright " said Coach George Camp bell, "My men. barring a fewrag ged plays that will not be repeated,. played good ball until far into the game. They made yardage wijji ease, and , certainty agrawst the-f Washingtonians until a bad acci dent or two befell them , and then they went into the air. They" will clay good ball at Corvallis, and I expect . the game to be an excellent j - r . j! one. jviy team was not scorcu against last year." . .
