A guessing contest that prom ises to be of some interest has been inaugurated by . Homer Lilly. He has purchased for his Christmas trade a beef oj remarkably large size and of very fine points. Op portunity is to be given customers to guess at his weight, and the best guesser gets a $5 cash prize. A ticket is given out with sales made at the shop and this ticket is used in guessing. Tomorrow's game at Port land I f will be watched all ov er the Northwest with extreme in terest. College men will be inter ested in it to see how the Oregon State College team will make it in the assault on the Portlanders., In many quarters it will be expected that the team that so effectively de feated Willamette and Seattle, will be able to dispose of Multnomah. In many quarters, too, such a de feat for the Portland warriors is de sired and the hope that OAC : men have the stuff to do it with, is what will heighten interest in the play. It will be a game in which the OAC men should and doubtless will, play for all they are worth. A Spokane paper used the nov el method of asking each of the nine coaches in the Northwest for an all Northwest team, neither, coach being permitted to name members of his own team. The re sult is, center, Walker, OAC: guards, McDonald of Washington, Roosevelt, Idaho; tackles, Larson, Idaho, Dimmick, Whitman; ends, Moores of Eugene, and Pullen of Washington: Halves, Williams of OAC, and Rader of Willamette, quarter and captain, Middleton of Idaho; fullback, Hardy of Pull man. Idaho got 3, OAC, 2, Washington. 2, Whitman, r, Eu gene, 1, Willamette, 1. and Pull man, 1. The team averages 185 pounds per man. Dr. A. J. Giesy, ne of the con sulting physicians, at midnight last night made the following statement: "I was called with Dr. George F. Wilson to go in consultation with the attending physicians about 8 o clock. I found Senator Mitch ell's condition very grave. He was then in a semi-comatose state and his mma was wanaenng more or less. He recognized me, and I think mat he realized that be was very sick; but I found him very in different to his surroundings. Sen ator Mitchell has been suffering for many years with a diabetic trouble Me has lately been subjectea to a very heavy mental straip. These things and his advanced age make it difficult for him to overcome a trouble that otherwise might not prove serious. The extraction of four teeth today was followed by excessive hemorrhage. After some hours it was stopped with some difficulty. As it is, the Senator is very greatly weakened. It may be that he will be decidedly better in the morning, and if he is, I shall hope for favorable progress; but if he does not rally soon diabetic coma may be feared, and if the Senate r should enter into that condition, it would, I fear, be the beginning of the end." Mrs. J. B. Horner was a Port land visitor Thursday. Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Patty re turned Thursday from a vist with Salem friends. Roseburg talent gave a highly successful minstrel show Tuesday evening. It was under the aus pices of the Ladies Guild of the Episcopal church. Beginning next ' semister the college regiment will march thrpugh the city streets twice a week headed by the band. It costs but two dollars to make the round trip to Portland tomor row, with a nine hours stay in the city, which is cheaper than remain ing at home. The sale of the Dr. Taylor residence occurred Tuesday. It went to Mr. Abel, recently arrived from Alberta. Canada. Originally, he came from Nebraska. He is the party that bought the Osburn res idence, which deal ended in a fluke. 1 ne price paid tor tne 1 ayior res idence, including two lots and fur niture, was $3,400. Seventeen hundred pounds of chewing tobacco: think of it, 1,700 pounds, nearly a ton of chewing tobacco arrived by Tues day night' s boat, all in one ship ment for S. L. Kline. It is prob ably the biggest shipment of chew ing tobacco that ever reached the town. There was enough of it, if all used at once, to make a freshet in the Willamette. . . Mrs. Fred F. James, who spent the summer with her sister, Mrs. Green, left Saturday tor a vis it in Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and the great canyon" of Arizona. Later she" will join her husband in Beaumont, Texas, where she will spend the winter. Mrs. James while here learned much of the state, its climate and its people and hopes some - time to return and make her home. There have -been 25 conver sions at the revival meetings tha are now in progress at Philomath. The meetings have been in pro gress in the Brick college for the past two weeks, and the house is crowded nightly. The speaker is Bishop Bell of the liberal U. B. church. " Mr. Evans, of Lebanon and Miss Lulu McDonald were married Thursdav morning at the hone of the bride's" parents, Mr. and Mr3. A. R. McDonald at Philomath. The ceremony took place at four o'clock a. m., and the happy couple took the morning train at Corvallis two hours later for their future home at Lebanon. The knot was tied by Rev. Jones of Philomath. Boys Ready to Play it Ex cursion will be Large Band is Going. All arrangements are complete for the excursion to Portland tomor row for the last game of football of the season. The excursion train will arrive from Portland this ev ening, and will be ready lor tne start at seven o'clock in the morn ing. It will carry . the. football team and trainers and the tadet regiment band of 30 pieces. A large number of students have purchased tickets, and will follow the team to its final battle of the year. A large number of townspeople are going, some have already gone with the expectation of being , at the game. It is also the understand ing that people from Philomath and from neighboring farms will join in the excursion. Thirty or more people are expected from Independ ence, and a good delegation from McMinnville. Indications are good for a better excursion than went to Portland last Christmas on. a similar errand. Last night, the boys had their last practice for the year. It is the last time that some of them will ever engage together in a football practice, and tomorrow's game will certainly be the last in which they will all play together. Three of the team are post graduates, and two or three others graduate this year. They have played a long time for OAC, and there will be a vein of sentiment both for players and their admirers in tomorrow's game. This with the fact that the game, if it can be converted into an OAC victory, will give Steckle's men higher standing than was ever attained by a Northwest - team, makes extreme interest in the ex cursion and the things that go with it. .. The members of the team are ready for the fray. Kenneth Cooper, after breaking all records as a eoal kicker, and playing a magnificent game all the year, will not be in the lineup. Aside from that, the team is stronger and ready for a fight that will be a sight to see. The excursion rate for the round trip is $2, which it a rate so low that it was never given but twice before, and so low that it is cheap er to go than to stay at home.

Miss Isabel Whitby Brought Home Her Condition Slightly Better. Miss Isabel Whitby, 04 OAC, who underwent a severe surgical operation in a Portland hospital some time ago, was brought up from Portland Wednesday evening, and taken out to the family home yesterday morning. The trip, both from Portland to Corvallis and from here to the country was made in a cot, "under trying circumstances. The patient is making a heroic struggle for life, and in her case so far it is a triumph of mind ' over matter. At the time of the opera tion, the surgeon thought she could not survive the chloroform. Then it was thought that she could not last 24 hours. Then a limit of four days was set as the longest possible time she could live. With great patience and a sur prising vitality, how.ver, the pa tient has battled against her malady and when she left for her home in the country yesterday morning, she was brighter than at any time since the operation. Her physicians are still without hope of final recovery, but in the presence of improvement already made, themother is still full of hope that the mind will triumph over matter and that the end will be a recovery. Many friends throughout Benton as well as else where, hope with her that there may be a favorable outcome to the case. - " I.ame Back. - This ailment is . usually caused by rheuma tism of the muscles and may be cured by aDDlvine Chamberlain's Pain Balm two or three times a day and rubbing the parts vigorously at each application.
