:Next Monday is registration
day at the college. There are
surface indications that the number
of students will be large, and that
there will be congestion, as usual,
in matriculating. In order to ease
things up, Prof. Horner expects to
be on hand for registering students
next Friday and Saturday, and any
who apply then can get their names
on the rolls and matriculation cards
in advance of the rush. It is sug
gested that it would simplify mat
ters if students already on the
ground, especially local students,
would register at that time. The
plan is a privilege, in fact, of es
pecial value to those who take ad
vantage of the earlier registration.
. The ' public schools opened
Monday with a first day's enroll
ment of 246 as against 241 last year.

ed within the next 10 days, and,

IT NEVER STOPS
Save an Hour a Week A Big Mount
ain Mill and Mine A Thirty
to Zero Score.
Ross Finley, who is assayer at a
good salary at the Lucky Boy mine
in the Blue River district, is home
for a hurried vacation, having ar
rived Friday night. He is to re
turn to work by the 14th. The
Lucky Boy is one of the best
known mines in "Oregon. It is
owned by a company of which ex
councilman Zimmerman of Portland
is a leading stockholder, and who is
active manager.- Sixty men are
employed, and the work never stps
except for an hour or two at noon
Saturdays. All people may not
know it, perhaps, but it is not the
practice of miners to observe Sun
day. The toil goes on s'sven day s
in the week, 30 days in the month
and all the days in the year except
St. Patrick's and a few holidays.
The Lucky Boy's men are divided
up into shifts so that the movement
of ore and the rattle of the 40 stamp
mill never, stops. The mill is run
by electric power driven by the
McKenzie River, eight miles dis
tant from the mite. The Lucky
Boy is a dividend payer, in which
it is more lucky than most boys.
David Graham, ex-manager of
the U. of O. football team and Mr.
Friesell, also pf U. of O. are em
ployed at the mine, Mr. Graham
is assistant, amalgamator in the
mill, and Mr. Friesell shovels ore
in the mine. Being an O. A. C.
boy Mr. Finley has discussions as
to the relative merits of some things
with the Eugene men, and incident
ally . has been- informed by Mr.
Friesell that Eugene is to do O. A.
C. at football next November to the
tune of 30 to o. ,
BACK TO VISIT.
Scenes . of Many Years Agone IS
Miner now in Southern
' Mountains
' Them was mighty .fine days,"
said a tall well built man who en
tered the hotel last ' Monday. It
was William Grant and he was al
luding to the days when Doc. Bail
ey, Professor McElroy, Colonel
Hogue, Bush Wilson and Joel Pal
mer lived and figured in the affairs
of Benton county. He had gained
two fortunes in Old Benton and lost
each in a day, because his heart
was too big; and now as a result he
is living the life of a recluse in some
deep mining gulch in the mountains
of Douglas. There, at the age of
seventy-three this hardy old man is
seeking to retrieve his fortune from
the gold fields which he has devel
oped. He is alone his own cook,
his own master, his own toiler.
When the deep wintry snows come
he contents himself with his little
log cabin and the mine not far a
way. , At times, for six months
and longer, he has been shut out
from the world, not having seen a
person or a newspaper in all that
time. Hence as a matter of busi
ness and recreation he has taken a
few days off to visit hi friends in
Corvallis, Newport and Portland;
and then will return to his mount
ain home where he will remain
alone until the spring thaws out
the snows again.
Onr day last year a friend in
passing near his cabin happened to
call on the old man whom to his
surprise he found in bed almost un
able to speak. A timber had fallen
on him, and before he fainted lie
managed to crawl into his cabin,
where he lay more dead than alive.
Simple remedies, such as could be
tound, were administered promptly;
and when the patient could speak
he said, "Cook a pan of that deer
liver you brought." When this
was done, he said, "Cook another
pan full." Then Gaant said, "To
prove to you that I haven't eaten
anything forvsix days, I am going
to eat the whole thing, and you
may cook something else for your
self." And the big mountaineer,
like Joe Meek, easily accomplished
the task. Life seemed to come
back once more, and his chin and
supple tongue began to play with
Irish wit as they did in "the days
of forty-nine." Gradually health
has been- restored until this septua
genarian looks as if he could yet be
a fine center rush for a high class
college team. '
WARRIORS COME BACK.
Gridiron Veterans and Their Chieftain
Arrive Practicing has Began.
Dr, A. C. Steckle arrived Satur
day from Reno, Nevada, to" take up
the work of preparing the OAC
football team for the gridiron bat
tles of this fall. Dr. Steckle left
Corvallis last January, and he has
spent most of the time since in the
study of his profession of medicine
at the University of Michigan and
at Chicago. While at Ann Arbor,
he was much in the company with
Yost, the famous Michigan coach,
and incidentally studied a little foot
ball at the feet of the great sachem.
He has brought back a few ideas
that he claims "will help some in the
coming contests.
Along with Dr. Steckle, there ar
rived some of the old warriors.
George Herbert Root, who is this
year to be captain of the team, is
among the bunch. Kenneth Coop
er was also along, as was Rinehart,
the bunch grass quarterback. Each
of the three is able to take . three
square meals per day without
flinching and apparently are pre
pared to go some in the gridir6n
campaign abou:, to open. Floyd
Williams, late a surveyor in the
fastnesses of the Cascades, arrived
Monday and hopes to make good
in his old position of left halfback.
By the end of the current week it
is expected a large part of the squad
will be at work, early practice be
ing necessary in order to prepare
for the game with the University of
California, at Berkeley, en the 2 1st
or the 28th of October, the date be
ing unsettled pending the adjust
ment of a game California is mak
ing with Pomona College in the
southern part of the Golden state.
Manager Stimson has not yet
completed the schedule of games.
Three important dates, however,
have been settled. The Thanks
giving game is with the University
of Washington, and it is- to be
played at Seattle. The game with
the University of Oregon, is dated
for the nth of November and it is
to be played at Eugene. One of
the strong teams of the season will
be Willamette University which un
der the coaching of Chauncey Bish
op will, compete for Northwest
championship with equal chances
with most college teams for success.
Some predict already that the Wil
lamette team is to be the strongest
in the state. It will contest with
OAC in a game to baplayed on OAC
field, Friday, November 24th. .
