The Empire Theatrical - Com pany concluded a three night' s en gagement at the Opera House Wed nesday, evening.

A favorite device with many farmers in plowing now is the disc plow. It came into use a few years ago, and has gradually become more and more popular, until now it is a favorite implement on many farms. The claim is that it is lighter on horses, but some farmers dispute this. The usual size is a twenty-inch, for drawing which four horses are used. As many buildings are in pro-oess-of rrection as in the palmiest days oi the good old summer time. Three foundations for residences were laid this week as follows: Oscar Gustafson, George Brown and Victor Moses. The noise of hammer, saw and carpenter were never more in evidence in Corvallis than now. It looks as if the build ing would go on the winter through. An immense acreage of land is being seeded this fall. The early rains enabled the plow to start, and all the teams that could be mustered have been steadily at work- A farmer in town yesterday expressed Deiiet tnat tne acreage sown this autumn is even larger than last fall when it was the great est in years. The present weather is favorable and if it continues most of the fields that farmers desire to plant to grain this fall will have been seeded. Miss Elsie Gresham, leading lady of the Empire Theatrical Company is a cousin of Fred Stim son. She is also a Benton county girl.

No football game played in the Northwest this season ought to be superior from any standpoint to that which is to be played on OAC field next Friday afternoon. There is practically no difference in the strength of the three big college teams in Oregon, Willamette, Eu gene and OAC. That has been proven in the two battles that have taken place between them. Eugene beat Willamette on a fluke, and beat OAC in the same way. Next Friday's game ought in every res pect to be equal or a better game than that so many Corvallisites journeyed to ISugene to see. Une . difference will probably be, that the OAC men, stung by the Eugene defeat, are likely to put up such playing as has never been seen on the Northwest Coast. - The game will certainly be a corker. . G. A. Waggoner visited En gene Wednesday. George Beamis and E. Glenn, prominent farmers of Fairmount, were Corvallis visitors Thursday. Mrs. Mattie Wright-Davidson of Portland is the guest of Corvallis friends. Louis Oren and wife arrived today from Portland for a visit with Mr. Oren's parents.

Nine stitches were required in sewing back into position one of Mr. Martin's ears, which was in some manner almost torn from his head in the accident. WORK HAS COMMENCED. On Student Building at the College Site is North of Water ' Tower. Another building is being added to those now standing on the OAC campus, but the one now in pro cess of erection is distinct in that it is the result of student enterprise and the reward of several years of planning and work. Last January in a well remember ed banquet at College Armory - the fund for the building was started by subscription of $3.200, from the students, which sum was raised the followinsr week to $4,700 by the same students. . Later the amount grew as the result of solicitation on the part of the leaders ot tne movement and faculty friends and alumni did their part to swell the fund. One gift of $2,000 from a New York gentleman was secured, and one of $1,000 from a Portland friend. The entire amount needed has not yet been raised, but the canvass will be pushed during the winter months. The movement was started and will be completed under the man agement of the Young Men's Christian Association. Attach ments are to be made with the col lege plant for heat, light, water and sewage. The building is to be colonial in style and very handsome m appear ance. Pressed brick and stone will be the material used. The excava tion has been made and operations on the basement have commenced. 1 his building should marie an epoch in the history of OAC and scores of students will undoubtedly be drawn to her as a result of this movement. The site for the new structure is on the south end of lots formerly owned by Prof McKelhps, just north of the water tower. The property comprises an acre of ground and was recently purchased of Prof. McKelhps by the Associa tion at a cost of $ 1 ,ooo. HAVE YOU SEEN THEM?

The average man does not save to exceed ten per cent, of his earnings. He must spend nine dollars in living expenses for every dollar saved. That being the case he can not be too careful about unnecessary ex penses. Very often a few cents properly in vested, like buying seeds for his garden, will save several dollars outlay later on. It is the same in buying Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It costs but a few cents, and a bottle of it in the house often saves a doctor's bill of several dollars.
