Mrs. Frank W. Benson of Rose-

son, Clifford, who is a student at
OAC.
To Waldo Finn, a Yamhill
lad, belongs the distinction of mak
ing the first place kick in a match
game on college field. The iea'-
has been many times tried but nev
er accomplished until Mr. Finn did
it in Saturday's game. The day
was as unpropitious as it was pos
sible to be.
All over the county, children
in the farm homes are clamoring
for fathers or brothers to plough
up a piece of ground for use in
planting grains for next year's
agricultural fair. The fair has
been agitated in the schools and
the children are . becoming deeply
interested. This is the feature that
makes success certain, and the at
tendance from all parts practical
ly unanimous.
The Albany Herald has passed
into the editorial control of Walter
Lyon, formerly of the Independence
Enterprise, and late private secre
tary to Governor (jeer. Besides
being an experienced and able
newspaper man, Walter is a genial
gentleman and a most progressive
citizen.' The Herald under lr.
Westgate was a very excellent
newspaper, but it will be in equal
ly good hands with Walter Lyon at
the helm.

Every business man in town should
be there. They are vitally con
cerned, because the matter of the
big three days fair next year is to
be considered. Three days of fair,
three days of tbe biggest crowd ev
er gathered in Corvallis, three days
of big events, has great significance
to Corvallis business men, and they
should all be on hand to urge the
plan. !
People who have Eastern
guests in Corvallis must not take
them to the court house to see the
county exhibit. That relic of form
er glory is now in a bad shape of
dilapidation. When brought back
from the State Fair it was dumped
promiscuously into the room next
door east of the county clerk's
private office where it has since re
mained. There the mice seem to
have gained access to it, while bugs
have invaded some of the shelled
grains and other exhibits. It is ev
en worse now than when it was
displayed at the fair and according
to the statement of some who saw
it, that is saying a great deal.

arrived Sunday, and began yester-!
day to organize classes. She sang
a solo and encore in chapel yester
day morning and by the rendition
as well as by her cbarmmg manner
became popular at once with stud

sympathetic soprano voice and
sings with fine modulation. Her
name is pronounced with the final

The volume of business in the
Corvallis postoffice for the month
of October was the largest in the
history of the establishment. It
even exceedtd the December busi
ness 01 lasc year, and .December is
always a corking month. It was
larger than October of last year by
23 per cent. The aggregate for the
month just closed was $1,048; for
October last year. $861. Accord
ing to all the signs so far, the old
argument of the "wets that
drouth kills towds and makes the
grass grow in the streets is down

A sprained ankle has the best
of James Fiett. He was enroute
to the ioutball game Saturday ai.-d
had the misfortune tq slip and tall.
His ankle was badly sprained but
for the moment little aitentioa was
paid to it. Mr. Flett hobbled on to
the game but at the end of the first
half his limb pained him so much
that he had to be hauled home.
He has been abed ever since with
the prospect that he will be kept
there several days. Yesterday, his
limb was swollen to the knee.
A lightning sale of real estate
occurred the other day. C. O.
Presnall and family arrived from
Wisconsin on the 8:30 train Satur
day morning. They were, home
seeking. When they stepped
from tne train they had no idea
ot where they might locate. That
night they slept in their own house.
It is a twelve acre sarin' 2 1-2
miles acro-s the Willamette from
Corvallis. Until Saturday, ir was
the property of T. W. Keene who
arrived a year ago from Kansas.
During the day Mr. Presnall'select
ed the property, ' purchased and
paid for it, and that night occupied
it with his family. The purchase
price was $2,050. There is sis
acres of strawberries on the place.
All the livestock, hay and seed was
included in the transfer. The sale
was made by Ambler & Watters.
Mr. Keene is to return to Kansas.
The outcome of the Esther
Mitchell and Maud Hurt case at
Seattle is still uncertain. The case
was argued and submitted before
the three justices of the -supreme
court ot the state, sitting at Olym
pia, October 26th. One of the
number was designated to write the
opinion and. the arguments wer
taken under advisement. That is
the last that has been heard of the
case. A decision was expected
last Saturday, but it failed to be
handed down. It is now believed
that the court will be heard from
immediately after election, which
is in progress today. The attor
neys for the two women and for
Judge Frater contended that the
order of the superior court direct
ing the deportation of Esther
Mitchell and Maud Hurt to Oregon
was legal and proper. The dis
trict attorney of Seattle argued to
the contrary and demanded . that a
case ot murder be tried.

In the basement of the First
Methodist church last night. "Jeru
salem and its Environments" was
the subject of a lecture by Prof. -f.
B. Horner. The event was under
the auspices of the Men's Club con
sisting of fifty members. Tne ver
dict with reference to the address
is that it was one of the most en
tertaining delivered in. the city in
many a day. A rising vote was
given in expression of thanks for
the' lecture, and congratulations
were showered on Prof. Horner
from all sides. Prof. Horier has
been requested to deliver another
lecture before the Club and has con
sented to do so. : After the exer
cises which included a vocal solo
and encore by Collie Cathey, the
guests entered the dining ; room
where there was refreshment and
an extended season of after dinner
speeck-making participated in by
Messrs Underwood, Holmes, Lilly,
Dr. Cathey and Yates.
There is prospect f-;r a move
ment to emancipate the Willamette
Valley from the lockage ee at the
Oregon Citv locks. On every
pound of freight that passes through
the locks a toil ot firty cents a ton
is charged. 11 the lock" were ac
quired by the federal i overnment
and the lockage fee removed,
freight rates on the t.oats would
drop fifty cents per ton, and that
would force a corresponding drop
in railroad rates. The situation is
set forth clearly in an editorial ar
ticle in the Portland Sunday Journ
al, which in part is as follows:
"It would mean a saving of 2 1-2
cents per hundred on every pound
of treignt to be transported in or
out. It would mean a cent and a half
added to the sale price of every
bushel of wheat. The lockage fee
means a toll of 2 r-2 cents on every
sack of potatoes, 2 1-2 cents on ev
ery sack of sugar, 2 1-2 on every
keg of nails, 21-2 cents on every
sack of salt, 4 cents on every bale
of hay. 10 cents on every head of
sheep, and 25 cents on every horse
and head of cattle.
The lockage fee is a collector that
stands constantly knocking at the
door of every farmhouse and every
town home with one hand extend
ed for tribute. It is a source of
cost both to producers and consum
ers, to be reckoned by the hundreds
of thousands each year, and since
it beean it has cost the people mi
llions of dollars. We go on toler
ating it simply and only because we
never stop to think how foolish we
are to permit it. Every person in
the Willamette valley is compelled
to pay this tribute, and the only
interests benefitted by the huge
sums collected are the railroads and
tke wealthy corporation that owns
the locks."
The subject is of vital concern to
every citizen of Western Oregon.
A cent and a half added to the
price of every bushel of wheat sold
the past year in the Willamette
valley would mean a vast S'Um of
money. Two and a half cents tak
en off the cot of a sack of sugar
and every sack of salt brought in
to the valley would mean a gre: t
sum. When it is remembered thtt
this toll is on every article shippfd
in and on every product shipped
out the vastness of the sum of this
toll-taking at Oregon City annual
ly costs the citizens of the Wil
lamette valley, becomes apparent.
If the people of the valley would
take the m erest that the import
ance of the subject warrants, there
could easily be a solution of the
problem. That interest crvstalized t
I and laid at the teet of Oregon's
delegation in congress would result
in a speedy purchase of the Oregon
City locks by the general govern
ment ana toe opening or tne river
to free navigation.
A Riddle to Willie.
I asked my Pa a simple thing:
"Where holes in doughnuts go?"
Pa read his paper then he said:
"Oh, you're too young to know."
I asked my Ma about ths wind;
"Why can't you see it blow?"
Ma thought a moment then she said:
"Oh, you're too young to know."
Now why on earth do you suppose
They went and licked me so?
Ma asked: "Where is that jam?" I said:
"Oh, you're too young to know."
