Oswald West, state land agent, was in town over Thanksgiving, looking after his hopyard on the island south of town. Mr. West has revolutionized the affairs of the state land office, and made of the state land agency au establishment for the defense of the public domain of the commonwealth. By his energy, he has searched out small tracts of land owned here and there by the state of which the state had no account whatever, the sales of which already aggregate more than 40,000. He has run down many frauds and brought the perpetrators to the surface, and it is suspected that he is on the track of more, with a prospect of developments to follow. The preliminary estimates in' dicate that the state taxes for each county this year will be only about one half that of last year. The total revenue that will be re quired for state purposes will be about $625,000. A part of the de crease will be due to the referen dum on the appropriation bill w nen the time comes for paying these taxes there will be apprecia tion of the action of Governor Chamberlain in demanding of the republican majority the elimination of the emergency clause so the peO' pie would haye a chance to set aside some of the unwarranted appropria tions Benton's state tax as a result will be only about $10,000 instead of $20,745, Walked all Over Washington Was Hard Game Fifteen to Naught. Seattle, November 30th. Before a crowd of 3,000 people, the State College men of Oregon administer ed a decisive defeat to the Washing ton eleven at lootball here this af ternoon. The score was 15 to o, the result ot three touchdowns, one in the first and two in the last half. It was a heavy line-bucking game, in which OAC showed great super iority over the Washingtonians, tearing through their line at will, Root, Walker and Dolan accom plishing four to 10 yards almost ev ery time they struck the Washing ton line. A greater score would have, been made, save for the num erous penalties inflicted, sometimes at critical moments on the Oregon men, 35 yards in all being exacted by Umpire Griffith, while none was given Washington. The first touchdown was made af ter 20 miuutes of play by Dolan, who starred throughout the game. It was earned at straight football with line plunges and occasional dashes outside of tackle by Root, Walker, Dolan, Griffith and Abra ham. Another score was narrow ly averted by Washington in the same half, the ball being all the time in the Northerners territory. The second touchdown came early in the second half and was the con sequence ofa 57 yard run by Root, who broke through the line, and by twisting, hurdling and dodging, es caped the mass of players and was only prevented from crossing the Washington line for a touchdown by being tackled by Brinker under the very shadow of the goal posts. Will Dunlap, OAC's giant guard was one of the stars of the game. He caught a blocked kick on Wash ington's 40 yard line, and, pursued by the whole field of players, sped the intervening distance for the third touchdown. Cooper after playing a beautiful game went out after the first touchdown in the second half, being relieved by Rose The best gain by Washington was a 30 yard run around left end by Smith. Bundy, Rinehart, Emily and Griffith all played slpendid ball the whole team in fact, working lfke a machine, much after the fashion of the Willamette game. The universal expression here is that OAC is the strongest team on the Coast. For Sale Holly Flour. The same as we make our bread of at $1.40 per sack. Small & Son Bakery.
