Saturday Newport, 2; Corvallis, 1 Sunday Corvallis, 14; Siletz, 2. The above were the scores in the two games played by the Corvallis team at the seaside last Saturday and Sunday. The 2 to 1 game of Saturday was pronounced by such baseball cranks as Charles Winant, "Dad" Sylvester and Peter Abbey, to be the best exhibition of base ball ever witnessed at Newport. That the Corvallis boys had the small end of such game was no dis grace as the work of both teams was brilliant and snappy. The Newport beys strengthened their team by adding such plavers as Hobbs, Payne and Cox of Eugene, and Blackby of Coos Bay. Black by pitched for Newport and he re ceived splendid support through out the game. Colbert dished out curves lor Corvallis and Chambers, an OAC student, caught. The work ot both was loudly applauded Bert Pilkington at first base put up a star game retiring Newport in one inning by three unassisted put outs. Swann at second played his usual brilliant game. Cronise and Pratt at short and third base and Reas, Butolph and Keady took In everything that came their way. Few errors were made by either team, only one of which was costly. A bad throw in the ninth inning with two out allowed Newport to score the winning run. Sunday's game was easy for our boys as the Siletz team were not on hand and several second team men had to be used. Stanton, their pitcher, was suffering from a bruis ed hand, and in addition received poor support, or the score would have bsen much less. Colbert al so pitched in Sunday's game, and put up a remarkable game consid ering the fact that he had pitched nine innings the day before. The regular team of the Siletz is a good one and the players are a set of fine fellows that are able to keep our boys guessing at any time as to which is the better. Manager Em try of the Corvallis team has ar langed for a game with the Indians i 1 Corvallis next Saturday after j oon providing enough tickets can be sold at 25 "cents each to guaran tee the expense of bringing out the team. Such a game would be of unusual interest and should draw a good crowd. Games with Albany and Toledo at Corvallis are' also being figured for the near future. ENGAGED MILLER. Tilore Surveying to be . Done Coming Operations for Mountain Water. It is very probable that within 1 ) days there will be activity all along the line with reference to mountain water. Engineer Miller was in Corvallis Saturday, and went over his plans and estimates with the water board with the re sult that his services were retained as chief engineer of the work. In about a week he will finish his con struction work at Athena, and then he is to come to Corvallis at once for an indefinite stay, during which other lines of survey will be run in the effort to minimize the cost by reducing to the utmost limit the length of the pipe line. There is a surmise in the mind of Mr. Miller that by going further up Rock Creek the line may be brought across the ridge into the Woods Creek water shed, which would re sult in the shortening of the line by two or three miles. This attempt Is to be made, and at the same time, there will be a call for bids for material, out of which accurate knowledge of the final cost can be obtained. Eagineer Miller is very anxious to get the pipe line laid out of the timbered portions of the route before winter rains set in. A party consisting of Misses Iaura Pratt, Laura Hill, Margaret Fowells, Milt Wyatt and Donald Hill, left yesterday morning on a trip to Mary's Peak. They expect to return this evening.

Brooks AT THE SEASIDE. Outing Season and Many Strangers at the Beach Some Incidents. The number of pleasure seekers at Newport so far, is smaller than in the past two or three years. The condition is generally ascribed tc the Fair. Most of the spare money of the state is declared to be stream ing into Portland where it is scat tered along the Trail and otherwhere Most every person in the state is supposed to have determined to spend most of his or her spare cash this time at the Fair. A conse quent curtailing of the stay at the seaside, if not its abandonment al together is the alleged result. The assemblage at the beach so far bears out this theory. Whether or not it will continue to do so, re mains to be seen. Some think the pilgrimage to the popular beach has set in now for the usual flow. Some heavy trains are daily passing over the railroad and it looks very much as though there would yet be a big crowd at the seaside, even though the high water mark rec ords of the last year or two be not duplicated. But few changes greet the visitor at the Newport beach. There ; is one however more or less notable. The Bayley residence has been transformed into a hotel, which though small, is in every respect first class. It is under the manage ment of Mr. FitzMorris, formerly of Eastern Oregon. Many improve ments have been added to the place including a bulkhead and wharf, and a short cut via a new road over the hill to the Nye Creek beach. Originally the steamboat plying between Yaquina and Newport touched at the wharf, but not so now, and over that there is said to be trouble brewing. Another change is the retirement of the Da vis people from the steamer busi ness on the bay The Richardson which for years has been on the route between Yaquina . and New port some time ago went into the hands of Portland owners, who are operating the line. A big scow fitted with cabin accommodations does duty in connection with the steamer, the two being able to carry 400 or 500 people. The Loraine is the name of a sea going craft that is doing a good business at the bay, carrying sea siders out to sea, for deep sea fish ing and partly for sea-sickness. It is a vessel almost as large as the Richardson with a big gasoline en gine as the motive power. It makes several trips per day out to sea, and usually returns with a part of those on board pale as ghosts and indif ferent to the ordinary pleasures of life. The summer travel on the C. & E. is now very heavy. The reg ular train Saturday afternoon car ried five coaches, and all seats were filled. It took nine coaches and two locomotives to bring out the crowd Sunday night. The present is a year of short trips by busy people, and that makes much for the railroad to do. Many Eastern people out to the Fair, take occas ion to go to the seaside, and New port gets its share. Considerable delegations of such people are at the Newport beach all the time now. In many instances they are accompanied by local people whose guests they are. A member of one such party on the train Saturday, as she journeyed down the grade, the other side of Summit and sur veyed the wilderness of fern and burnt woods, asked the significant question, "Are we still in Oregon?" A passenger on the outbound excursion train Sunday night was a boy of 10, bound for Eddyville. He was asleep when the train stop ped at his station, and of course he was carried by. It wasn't long un til he awoke, and it became noised throughout the car that he was be ing carried farther and farther from tne nome where parents were doubtless wildly concerned . if not alarmed over his failure to come home. The little chap . under stood what his parent's feelings would be, and this account was deeply concerned. Tears filled his eyes, and the innate kindness of mankind was manifested by the many expressions of sympathy and the efforts of passengers to comfort the little fellow. By and by the conductor came in and whispered a few words to the boy when bright smiles shone out through the little chap's tears. It was a picture that put all the people in the car in a delightful. mood,' :; The.; conductor had assured the waif that a portion of the train was to go back to "Ya quina during the night, and that he could be delivered safely and soon to his alarmed parents. 1 An incident to go with "the' "CSSe of the Eddyville lad was that of the girl in blue. . It was another case of disappointment, and also of tears She was apparently from the rural precincts, perhaps of Linn county. It was a good face with big innocent eyes. She was with a friend, one of the opposite gender, and the two had apparently left the farm home for the day for a sight of the salt, salt sea. Apparently, too, they had tarried longer than they had intended on the beach, for while the crowd still lingered, they hur ried down street, rushed out on the wharf, and looked strenuously after the boat, just pulling away from the wharf and now out of reach. It was an awful disappointment to the maiden, for she burst into tears. Possibly the two were out of funds. The lad tried to comfort her, but it was no use. The crowd looked on, and soon discovered the story. Then a gallant man appeared. There are always gallant men in a crowd. He hurried up to them, spoke a few kindly words. The girl smiled through her tears, just like the Eddyville boy did, and soon the couple were gliding swift ly up the bay in a gasoline launch, which reached Yaquina in plenty of time fof them to take the train. Old land marks at Newport are Mr. and Mrs. Pete Abbey. Al ways popular with the public, their house is never without its lull quota of guests. It is a long time since they began the hotel business at the Bay, and it is questionable if the latter days have multiplied the pleasures of a sojourn beyond those enjoyed in the old times when in stead of the railroad and the thous ands of seasiders, there was only Mack Crow's stage line and Brink & Wright's half stage and hilt wat er route with a few score of so journers at the beach mostly at Pete Abbey's Bay View House. In those old days there were less fuss and frills, but fun and frolic to burn. Teachers Examination.

Upon examination the metal of the new Mason cap was found to be pure zinc. The small pin holes in the old Mason cap were undoubtedly caused by the action of vegetable acids. As a result the fruit in the jar must have been greatly contaminated with poisonous zinc compounds. I regard the use of jars with zinc caps as very unsanitary and even dangerous.
