.FOR CEMENT SIDEWALKS.
Aal Crossings No Here Wooden Walks
to be Built ia Certain Limits if
Ordinance Passes.
If an ordinance now pending in
the city council bacomes a law no
more wooden sidewalks can be con
structed within a large area ia Cor-
vallis. The ordinance prescribes
that the materials to be used, both
in sidewalks and crossings shall be
of Portland cement. . ' sand ' and
gravel ' of the usual . proportions.
On Main street they are to be ten!
feet wide and on others five and
six feet in width. It is understood
that the walks around the Farra
residence were taken as a moaei
The latter are six feet wide "on the
north side and five . on the west.
The cost is said to have been $55
for 100 feet' ot the five foot walk,
and $66 . per hundred feet for the
walk six feet in width.
The pending ordinance fixes
limits in which the cement pave
ments are to be used for all renew
als, as follows: Beginning at the
blacksmith shop "east across the
street from Wade's store and thence
.north on the east side of Main to
he corner diagonally across the
street from the old Salvation Army
Hall, thence west to the T. H. Sim
pson residence, tbence south to
Mrs. Burnett's residence,, thence
west to the college grounds,' thence
south to Jefferson street and east
along the south side of Jefferson to
the B, W. Wilson corner, thence
south a block and east along the
south side of Adams to the place of
beginning.
The ordinance has passed the
second reading, and will probably
come up for final action at the
December meeting of the council.
AT THE COLLEGE.
The Chapel Filled With Music Lovers,
Wednesday Evening. "
. In spite of the very unfavorable
weather, a large audience gathered
at the college chapel Wednesday
evening to listen to the musical
programme rendered by members
of the OAC vocal department, un
der the instruction of Mrs. Green.
The first number began at 7:45,
being a selection by the Ladies'
Chorus. Following was a solo by
; Miss Gertrude McBee, a nocturne
by Miss Juliet Cooper and another
number by Miss Edna Allen.
"Down in the Deep" was effective
ly rendered by C. C. Briggs, who
was followed by Miss Ruth Lilly
with a slumber song. A male
quartette, composed of Messrs
Knapp,' Selleck, Miller , and Hill
was heartily applauded, and Miss
Una Stewart gave a number, "Sun
shine and Rain". A duet by Miss
Edna Allen and Mr. Briggs, and a
solo by Miss Bertha Williams,
were followed by a recitation from
Tennyson's works, "Crossing the
Bar", given by Miss Alice Edwards,
A solo by Mrs. Berchtold, bearing
the same title, was . the last
number before the Ladies' Chorus
appeared in the closing selection.'
1 ne recital was much enjoyed by
those who attended, and much
credit is due all those performers
who appeared during he evening.
NEGOTIATIONS ARE PENDING.
For Mountain Water Committee of
Council and Water Company at
Work.
Since the arrival irom the East of
Dr. Farra, negotiations between
him and the committee of the city
council have been pending with
reference to Mountain water. A
lengthy meeting of the special com
mittee at which Dr. Farra was pre
sent, was held the other night, and
' the proceedings, as far as they
went were without a hitch. Pre
liminary details of a plan were
worked on looking to the extention
of a certain amount of financial aid
to the local company in the under
taking. The basis of the negottar
tioris is a bid recently made to the
council, but the details have been
so changed that the original offer
could hardly be recognized as be
ing a part of the new plan. It is
understood that the committee is
negotiating with a view of fully
protecting the interests of tfce city
in such credit as it may extend,
and that the company is manifest
ing a willingness to provide ample
security. An . adjourned council
meeting was set for last" night at
which some development with re
ference to the negotiations was
expected.

i - FROM ALL OYER. 7
Prize Poultry is Coming to Corvallis
Poultry Show Next Month. :
Letters received by prominent
poultrymen indicate that the poul
try show to be held in Corvallis
beginning" December 8 is to be one
of most extensive proportions. Let
ters of inquiry are coming from
poulteymen as far south as Los
Angeles and as far north as British
Columbia. .It is certain now that
there will be exhibits from the most
important poultry yards of Calif
ornia, of Washington and of Brit
ish Columbia, to say nothing of the
exhibits from all over Oregon.
In short, several states will con
tribute to the success of the show,
which will vie with all the " other
shows in point of excellence . and
importance to be held during the
season. The fortunate fact in the
premises that tends to contribute to
the popularity of the Corvallis un
dertaking with: poultrymen from
far abroad,' is that the date comes
first on the regular poultry "circuit
and fanciers will all be anxious to
get their prize birds scored at the
first opportunity. That ; opportun
ity;' the' Corvallis show will af
ford and that in particular, will be
one explanation of the wide atten
tion it is attracting all over the
Coast. " It is probable from indica
tions- that Benton county people
will have opportunity to see more
fine birds on the 8th, oth and . 10th
of December and in Corvallis, than
they ever saw before in all their
HOUESEEKERS. V

TWO STARS OUT. "
Of Today's Football Game Two ' new
- Ones in.
The OAC football men have - to
play in this afternoon's game with
out their captain, and also without
George Herbert Root, one of their
famous . half backs. A muscle
bruise sustained by Captain Bert
Pilkington at Seattle, and injured
somewhat again in the Utah game,
brought on in an aggravated form
ai practice two weeKS ago. It .is
rapidly recovering now, but it ' is
out of the question for the redoubt
able full back, the best perhaps on
'the Coast, to be in this afternoon's
game. . -''
George: Herbert Root's trouble is
a strained ligament in the shoulder,
sustained three weeks ago, and now
neatly sound again, but still too
week to allow him to go into the
game He is eager to play and con
fident of his ability to make good,
but Coach Steckle is ; not willine
for the popular and formidable half
back to enter the game. The an
nouncement that Root was not to
play waa only made a day or two
ago, but it has been realized for' 10
days that Captain Pilkington would
be a side liner during the game.
- Coach Steckle and his ; men are
not disturbed by the condition, but
have already organized another for
midable back field. Kenneth Coop
er, who played half back on the
second team and end on the - first
team last season, and end on the
first team this season until Root's
trouble, has been placed as the
mate of Floyd Williams at half
back. He is a few pounds lighter
than Root, but is not less fierce or
fast. He has a great man's shoes
to fill this afternoon, but his friends
declare that he will measure out
the fullest.
s- The' new. fullback is Ray Walker
ati Independence boy. He won
renown as end. and tackle on the
second, team last year, and early
this season by hard playing attract
ed the attention of Coach Steckle,
who slated him early as a first team
utility. ; When Captain Pilkington
went out. Walker was at once put
at fullback, ' and he is now well
drilled in the position, tie is but
10 pounds lighter than his chief, is
almost as swift and his friends are
confident that with him at fullback.
the new back field will do its work
effectively and well.
; ; , THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
Down at Buck Creek And Incidents
That Happened There.
Buck Creek is a frontier commu
nity down beyond the Alsea,. where
chittim is the principal commodity,
They had a Sunday school there
last summer, and one Sunday when
the Superintendent asked for an
nouncements just before the close,
a' member, of the Bible class arose
and announced that there would be
a dance at Mr. Day's house the
next Friday night. , That, of
course, was all right, and so was
this other incident that happened
on another Sunday, in the same
school. "There will be no Sunday
school . next Sunday," said the
superintendent; '. "The base ball
team is going to play that tlay, and
I am the captain. Besides, , I sup
pose most of the children will de
sire to attend the game. You can
now consider yourselves dismissed,"
he ( ended, and " the Buck Creek
Sunday scnool adjourned to take in
the base ball game the next Sun
day. As before remarked,' Buck
Creek and her people are all right,
and chittim from there is the best
there is in the world.
