Dr. Steckle Went to Reno
Returns to 1 ake Position -.
in Northwest. ,. a
, Dr. Steckle, for the past two
years coach of the O. A. C. football
team, left Saturday night for Reno,
Nevada. After a flying trip there
of 10 days, he is to return to Col
lins, Washington, a town along the
line of the "North Bank railroad,'
and across the . Columbia from
Hood River. Dr. Steckle is to be
a company surgeon on the railroad.
The position is a good one, com
manding a snug salary; with much,
opportunity for outside? practice.
In Corvallis and throughout Ore
gon, a wide circle of friends wish
him unbounded prosperity. In ac
cepting the new position, - he is re
tiring from the football arena. He
has coached his last team, , he de
clares, and directed his last game.
Fourteen years have seen him suc
cessively as player and trainer, and
at the age of 32 it is now bis plan
to retire., ..Loth , as player and as
coach, he has had remarkable suc
cess. Though it lost the Eugene
game both year, his team last year
and this was, according to the uni
versal verdict,. ,the f; best in the
Northwests :The scores; rolled up
against ; Pullman, Willamette and
Seattle are monuments of the resist-,
less offense that is his handiwork
lie will certainly,, , he missed next
season, not bnly for-; his-vbrilliant
ability as a coach, but by-reason of
his amiable and attractive qualities
as a gentleman.-: All; those who
know him 'intimately, -bear testi
mony to the high character and
graceful, kindly sefltiments that are
a part of hU .nature. . . ; . ,
Approve of it ''Jerry From
' Kerry."-
Below are a few excerpts from
the Porcland daily papers about
"Jerry from Kerry," that are in
teresting. Oregonian, Portland, Dec. 25,
1905: Jerry from Kerry at the
Empire: There is a combination
of good things at the Empire thea
tre this week in Patten and Perry s
Jerry from Kerry company. The
performance is reasonably good
throughout, while there are in
stances where it is exceptionably
pleasing. The big audience that
witnessed the opening last night
thought it was all giltedged, and
from start to finish there was com
plete satisfaction.
Evening Telegram, Portland,
Dec. 15, 1 90s: When Patten and
Perry presented Jerry from Kerry
at the Empire theatre yesterday it
proved to be pleading and a large
audience took to it like a duck to
water. Their vaudeville acts are
all features and their band and or
chestra above the average.
Daily Journal, Portland, Decem
ber 25: Unique performance at
the Empire. Patten and Perry's
Jerry from Kerry company is
unique. It was evidently pleasing
to the throng which spent Christ
mas eve at the Empire. As a whole
attraction merits support. Patten
and Perry, the joint stars, are live
ly entertainers and they have work
ed up a bill that never grows weari
some. Their band and orchestra
is a musical treat.

A! Fee 'now for Things That

r A, conscience-smitten editor has
determined to reform. He has, ss
all, newspaper men do, for years
been " spreading sop over various
persons in" the community who
onght, instead, to have been the re
cipients of many a vigorous cen
sure, The pious Mr. Snigglefritz
he has oft extolled as "an estimable
citizen," when in fact he was a rank
old sinner, and old Mrs. Mumps
has been many a time called "one
of our leading ladies' ' though the
is, and always has been, the mean
est woman in town. ' " It is a sinful
practice, but, because the rest have
gone wrong, the editor in question
won't do so any longer. His refot
mation is announced in his paper
and prices are fixed' to be charged
for continuing the accustomed
practice,, the business to go in as
pure advertising matter. The
prices are as follows:
For telling the public that a man
is a successful citizen when every
body knows he is as lazy ' as a gov
ernment, mule,; $2.70; referring - tq
a'deceased citizen as one r who is
mourned by the entire community

NOTWITHSTANDING the advanced cost ol cotton and

buy our garments at a much lower price than smaller dealers who
cannot use such large lots. These garments bear the label ot
