Miss Ethel Linville left yester day for a two weeks visit with Mc Minnville and Carlton friends and relatives. Born, at Athena, Tuesday, to Mr. and Mrs. Mclntyre, nee Frank ie Cauthorn, a daughter.

Hammel, at Hotel Corvallis. Mrs. F. A. Swingle arrived Monday from Pendleton, for a six weeks' visit at the home of her par ents, Mr. and Mrs. A. Kyle. J. D. Starns arrived Saturday from Crook county, having made the trip on horseback. He . was three days on the journey, and found 20 miles. of snow in crossing the mountains. Next week, beginning Sunday morning,' mission services will be held in the Episcopal church. Rev. E. T. Simpsoo, who is a missioner in the chnrch and a very able man as well as a most persuasive speak er, will conduct the meetings. The very latest dispatch from the big naval battle is that Admir al Rojesvenski has probably saved the ferry boat at Tkowhegan though Admiral Bustupsky who command ed it only succeeded in saving his craft from Togo by a desperate but brilliant flopupski in the darkness when the fight' was thickest. After a. separation of 22 years, the children of Mr. and Mrs. Thom as Starns all gathered at the home of the parents in this city, Sunday. Twelve grand children also parti cipated in the reunion. The mem bers of the. Starns family present were, J. B. Starns, from . Crook county; O. B. Starns. Thorp, Wash.; Mrs. Maggie Browning, I,ane county: Mrs. M. T. Starr, Corvallis; Mrs. Belle Cockran, Wal la Walla, Wash, Mrs. William Deweese, Dixie, Wash.; Mrs. Wm. Macnab, Rufus, Oregon; and John Starns of Albany. . The Sunday " gathering was occasioned by the illness 01 Thomas Starns, whose health has been failing for some '.'weeks. ' The annual student e'xcursion to Newport and return transpired Monday. It is called the Senior Excursion, because always given by the senior class. The latest one was extremely successful in all par ticulars. One hundred and ninety four students participated, and enough others joined in to swell the aggregate to 225. ; The railroad company provided them with JSve coaches, "and there was ample room for all. The occasion was one of youthful exuberance without the . usual rowdyism and hoodlumism 11 . i ., . i .1 so generally characteristic 01 tne average excursion. The train pull ed out of Corvallis at 6:30, and on the return trip arrived at 10:30 p m. ... . ' . . A Tjreliminarv survev of t route for a mountain, water system lor Corvallis, is in progress. En gineer Miller with a force of five assistants left Saturday, and has been prosecuting tie work all week The survey is under the direction of the city council and is not in any way connected with the Water com mittee created by the legislature. The committee has not met for the purpose of organizing, but there is said to be talk of holding a meeting i. nursaay evening, sucn a meet ing ought to be held, and- thereat action should be takan that will cuvest tne water matter ot all ex traneous influences, so that if an election shall be called, mountain water may be voted on, upon its merits. The parents meeting at Alsea Saturday was well attended. Hon tend which occasioned some dis appointment. The address of Supt' Denman, on the subject of success in life was well adapted to young and old alike, while Dr. Withy cpmbe outlined . better methods of farming, stock raising, roadbuild :ing, etc. . His effort will doubtless prompt many an Alsea farmer to scrape off a little moss from his back and raise more clover in his fields. Prof. Kent gave a very in- teresting and instructive talk fol lowed by T. T. Vincent who gave a glimpse of the world's progress. The program was interspersed with recitations by the young folks and selections by a male quartette com posed of E. M. Kimball, J. E. Banton, J. H. Dorsey, and D. D. IvOngbottom. .There was a pro grame rendered in the evening de voted to the interests of the college.

Miss Ollie Skipton arrived Monday from Salem, to spend Memorial day . with Corvallis friends. r Mrs. M. Gleason of Albany is the guest of Corvallis friends. She returns home tomorrow. Mrs. G. A. Houck. and children of Eugene are guests ot Mrs. D. O. . Houck, in Corvallis. , Another large shipment of tel ephones arrived at the Independent office in this city yesterday. The new switch board is expected daily from the East. David Graham, last year's manager of the U. of O. football team, was in Corvallis Saturday with the contingent that accompan ied the track team. A. W.. Moses is daily expected to arrive fronv Nevada for a visit with Corvallis relatives. He- is in the government service. - Corvallis is soon to have an other grocery store. It is to be built in the near future by "Mac cabee Bill" Taylor, on his proper ty in the western part of town. The dimensions are 22 by 26 feet, and the contract has been let to Newton Adams. There was an election of Coffee Club officers in their hall Monday afternoon, with the following re sult; president, Mrs. Sarah Moore; vice president, Mrs. M. S. Wood cock; secretary, Mrs. F. A. Helm; assistant secretary, Mrs. George Irvine; treasurer, Mrs. F. Berch told. At the home of the bride's parents, near Shedds, . Sunday, oc curred the marriage of Clarence Vidito of Corvallis, and Miss Elsie Dilley. The couple stood under a beautiful floral bell, while the cere mony was performed. Other dec orations in the room were ropes of ivy. A number of intimate friends witnessed the ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Vidito will be at home in ' Corvallis after today. " The seniors . at the college have been busy for ; weeks with preparation of the annual play, rendered always at Commencement time. The production for this year will be "An Interrupted Honey moon", a spirited comedy with ex cellent situations and much of the ludicrous and humorous thrown in along with the interesting plot. Mrs. B. W. Johnson is in charge of the production and drill "has been in progress for weeks and will continue to be incessant and exact ing. The date is June 13th, and the place, the opera house. In his trip from Gold. ; Hill to Corvallis, John M. Osbnirn, who arrived several days ago, made the journey by private conveyance. The distance is 250 miles and the journey was made in a little more than five days, or nearly . 50 miles per day. All this, by a man Whom Eastern physicians said several years ago couldn't live longer on account of his asthma, is accounted by friends a very good . showing. Osburn is in better htalth and strength now than in years. ' Speaking of strenuosity, that displayed by two young ladles of Corvallis last Saturday is seldom equalled. They were Misses Josie and Edna Fullerton, both school marmsr and their stunt was a trip to Alsea on their wheels. They lelt Corvallis m the morning and all went well until they struck the mountains and here the recent rains had left the roads in terrible con dition for cyclers. The girls had to walk eleven miles of the way and push; their wheels through the mud but they were equal to the task and arrived in time for the evening pro gram at the parents meeting.. Dr. A. C. Steckle who has been in the East ever since early in January, is to leave Chicago today for Reno, Nevada. Most of . his time on the trip has been spent at the University of Michigan in the further study of his profession, and where incidentally he was contin ually in contact with Yost ? and Fitzpatrick, , the great ' football coaches. AH that is new on the gridiron at Michigan has been ab sorbed by Dr. Steckle, and in a so journ of six weeks at Chicago, he has been much,ofthe time in con tact with Stagg, the great coach of Chicago f University. When he gets back to Corvallis next Septem ber if the bunch is all right, Steck 1 le will do the rest. ' -. COLLEGE IS VICTOR. Over University in Field, and Track ty '- , Decisive Score Records - . Smashed. The annual meet on field and track between OAC and U. of O., teams Saturday resulted in a de cisive defeat for the University. The score was 78 to 44 and with the contest repeated, with the same men pitted against each other the figure would be slightly , heavier for the victors. A fall by Ctthey in the hurdles when he was winning second place cost the Aggies three points, and in another instance or two the best strength of the OAC men did not appear on account of mishap. As was expected records went glimmering in some of the events. Greenhaw smashed the Northwest record in the half, making the dis tance in 2:02 1:5. The OAC relay team lowered the Northwest record in the mile relay to 3:33. The time can be reduced by the same team several seconds whenever the occasicn requires. - In Saturday's relay Greenhaw ran his quarter mile in 51 seconds, which is one fifth of a second better than the Oregon record in that event.: In the same event, Williams who had j the last quarter to run, started out to catch. Eugene's .third man and make a mile while the Eugene run ners should make three quarters. It was an impossible feat, however and Floyd slackened his pace some what in the last stretch, but even as it was his time for his .lap was 51 1-2. The other two men in the relay team were Smithson and Beach. - y The University team took but three first places. Hug got firsts in the hammer and shot, and Miller a first in the high jump. In the quarter Williams, Beach and Green haw shut the visitors out alto gether, but a third place was allow ed them on a claim that Greenhaw fouled their man. Swann was an easy winner for first place "in the pole vault clearing the pole with ease at every first trial and - giving his friends confidence that he will take the; same place at the state meet. .. In the hammer 'event Ralph 5hepard surprised his best friends by tossing the metal 108 feet and five inches, rendering ft almost certain that OAC will Jget two places.in the event in ;.tb;j,-,srat'e meet at Salem. Dow Walker in an exhibition throw sent yie ham mer 126 1-2 feet, and Hug of U. of O. in a similar effort threw the hammer 128 feet'seven inches. The contest for supremacy in this event at Salem will be watched with in terest all over the Northwest, for the two champions are members of a trio of the best men in the event in the Northwest, the other being McDonald of Washington. In the sprints, Smithson and Williams were not pushed enough to make the lowering of records necessary, or it would have been done.. Smithson ran the low hur dles within a fifth of a second of the Northwest record, two watches having actually caught' the time as tying the Northwest record in that event. " -. - . . ' - -." Woodcock and Grafcam were out of the OAC team' and Friessel and Henderson out of the Eugene team. Friessell, the Nevada immigrant, did not participate. . In. was in fact definitely and amicably under stood between Manager Stimson and Manager Whittlesey v that he was not eligible and was not to take part. The case was exactly the same as that of Cathey : who was kept out of the OAC team two years ago by Eugene on the same claim of ineligibility. . The experts, Director. Trine among them, have an accurate line on the question-of what value Fries sell would have been to the Univer sity in the meet. They figure it out that with the Nevadian parti cipating, the score would have been 70 to 52. This is the way they do it. In the 100 and 220, Friessel would have taken third places. But as it was, Moores of Engene took them, so there would have been nothing gained there. In the broad jump, Friessel might have taken first. As it was, OAC got six and U. of O. three in that event. Con ceding Friessel first, the .result would have been, OAC, 3; U. of O. 6, an increase for Eugene of three points. In the high r hurdles, Friessel might have won first, but it is doubtful. Concede it to him however, and the score in that 'ev ent, which was OAC, 5; U. of O. 4. would have been OAC,' 3, U. of O, 6 a gain of two points for Eu gene. In the low hurdles, there suit would have '. been unchanged, for Friessel can not beat Smithson in that event and the score of OAC 5, U. of O, 4, in that event would remain unchanged. In the high jump, Friessel might have cut some figure but it is doubtful. He was unable to go more than five feet two inches in the Eugene-Seattle meet. Itf"brder to give them all the best of it, that he would have won first place. That would have given XL of O. 8: OAC, 1. The score was U. of O. 5; OAC, 4. The gain for U. of O. would be 3'. The ag gregate gain to Eugene 4ls a result of Friesselism would have been as shown above, 3 in the broad jump, two in the hurdles, and three in the high jump; total, 8. Add that to the 44 they made, and their score would have been, 52. Take the 8 from OACs score of 78 and the re sult would be. 70. The summary of events and places taken is as follows: ... ' ioor yard dash Williams and Smithson, OAC, 1st and 2nd: Moores, U. of O., 103-10. Broad jump Moores, 1st, OAC; Kuykendall, U. of O. 2nd; Bowen, OAC, 3rd; 20 feet n in.

Trains Between Corvaffis and Albany Another New Train pat in . .'.- Service. . ; . Beginning yesterday, three trains each way are regularly in opera tion over the C. ; & E, between Corvallis and Albany, ". The new arrangement is the result of a visit ty General Passenger Agent Mayo to This cityiast'Thursday. ' Tt iis an experiment but if. the traffi: jus tifies, it will become permanent. The added train is partly occasion ed hv change "of the Albanv local. It formerly arrived at Albany at seven in the evening, but is now on a new schedule in which it leaves Portland at six and reaches Albany after nine. To make connections with this train ioi Corvallis using the same C. & E. train crew that goes to the Cascades, as heretofore, was impossible. The company, however; "determined to try the ex periment of a complete new train crew, andbf putting on an addi tional train each way. As a result the new schedule went into operation yesterday and for the present will continue unchanged, In many res pects it is a very superior service and in according it to the Corvallis and Albany public, the C, & E, people are manifesting a disposition to serve both towns as completely as patronage will justify. ; - Under the new schedule trains leave Corvallis for Albany at 6:30 a. m.; 11:30a. m.J and -6 p. m Trains arrive at Corvallis from Al bany at 1:33 p, m., 3:20 p. m. and 9:55 p. m. The morning train out of Corvallis departs half an hour later, but connects with the Albany local tor Portland reaching the lat ter city at 10:30. The 11:30 a. m. train out of Cor vallis is the Yaquina passenger on its usual schedule. The six o'clock train out of Corvallis is an entirely new one. Of the arriving trains, that at 3:16 in the afternoon makes close connections with the north bound overland and that arriving at 9:55 p.- m. is the regular evening train from Portland via the Albany local.
