Arthur St. Clair, who, for nearly four - years has been known among his friends - as the Alexander Selkirk of theYaquina -country, returned to Corvallis Tuesday : and will not likely return to his former 'haunts. He leaves today for Portland, - where he will probably accept a position. "The Forest Grove boys are training -this season," says the Hillsboro Indepen- Ient, but are spending no money for a -coach." It isn't necessary- Their facul- - ty includes two of the best football men " in the state, bo are coaching the Pacific University team, which is said to be get- - ting into splendid shape.

Wilkins stenographer for Referee " "Woodcock has completed a summary : statement of the net amounts due labor and material creditors under the various Oregon Pacific receivers. A1J told there are about 1,200 such creditors and the - aggregate amount due them is in the neighborhood of $ 200,000. - Six hundred and twenty pounds is the weight of a : dressed hog which was displayed yesterday at the meat market of Godfrey Stedtler in this city. . The J hog was raised by a gentleman named '.' Miller, who resides near Peona in Linn -county, and was purchased by George ;1 Horning. On foot it weighed 700'poundSi - Willis Vidito, the genial . mail carrier, justice" of the peace and - politician, of Alsea valley," was in town a lew hours Monday. He says the first killing frost to visit the valley this fall . occurred last S inday night, and that it was severe enough to freeze up his pump. But for Mr. Vidito's reputation for truth fnd vericity, this statement might be doubt d by Corvallis people, for here the frcst that night was a very slight one. Dr. E. J- Thompson returned; Friday last from Southern California, having accompanied his son Allie and wi.e thither in hopes of benefiting the form er's health. They are comfortably loca ted at Colton, a city of about 8,000 inhabitants, situated about 100 miles southeast of Los Angeles. The Dr. remained with them several days and reports that the young man's cough was perceptibly improved during that tiui-. John Currier, whose spine was injured list week by being thrown from a wapon, is now at the home of his father, Manly Currier. He was taken from Mr. Grouty's place, beyond Fall Creek, under the direction of Dr. C. H. Lee. The patient en route was placed upon a spring mattress that swung from the top of the hack, and in this was enabled to make the journey with but little pain. He is paralyzed from his hips down, and his recovery is a matter of grave doubt. J. E. Adkins, who recently opened dental parlors in the Fisher block. returned to his former home in Hillsboro Monday. When .he concluded to locale in Corvallis there was but one dentist in business here, bat before his arrange ments had been completed, . Vr. Blake Cau thorn bad opened an office, so, after' remaining here only a few weeks. Dr. Adkins decided that this was not as lucrative a field in which to practice his profession as in Hillsboro, whr he had previously enjoyed a large practice. Nr. and Mrs. G. H. Ray returned to Portland Tuesday, having spent a week in Corvallis visiting relatives. Mr. Ray is a graduate of the O. A. C, and is now a prosperous Portland druggist. Several years ago he finished a course at the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy which has been of great advantage to him. Since the closing of the Portland College of Pharmacy Mr. Ray has been employed three evenings each week in giving lec tures to a class of pharmacy students, and in this work is meeting with success. The Hillsboro Independent, comment ing on football matters, says that Down ing, the new coach, has 200 young men from whom to pick eleven. They are;ordurto be in 11. hayseeds, but come from the ranks organized by Lieut. Dentler, U. S. A., j- . j ... 1 -j t " . , dieted that the kid-gloved team, of. . . . nd are straight a ramrods. It is J re Eugene, will defeat tne larmers next Saturday because tbey have had several years' training in the best gymnasium in the state, and have all the money they want The real contest this year will be between the Corvallis and the Eugene boys, though it is just a little surprising that the intei-collegiate management allows the farmers to enter. They are excluded from the oratorical contests. A Knotty Question. One of the knotty matters that Referee Woodcock will have to unravel will be to determine the rank of the claims of the Farmers Loan & Trust Company and Turner, Ralston & McClure and J. R. I Bryson. By the report of the former referee, J, W. Whalley, which was ap- proved by the court, the claim of him-1 elf for $4,000, with the claim of the Far - mers Loan & Trust Company for f 10, ior. 50, and that of Turner, Ralston & Mc Clure and J. R. Bryson for f 18.176 as at torneys' fees, were given first rank. That is, by the decree of January 18, 1892, these claims were ordered paid along with other costs of the suit, and prior to all claims, except costs ad disbursements. By paying Referee Whalley the amount his claims, under the terms of the above mentioned order, it would seem that the court would be placed in an awk ward position, with regard to the other claims that in the same order were made prior liens, should Referee Woodcock give other claims a preference, and this he is very likely 'to do. When Referee Whalley filed his report it was supposed that the litigation was then nearly at an end, and the allowance of Turner, Rals ton & McClure and j. R. Bryson was for services performed up to that time. Now that the litigation has been prolonged early four years, they ask for an addi tional allowance of $10,000. Lincoln County Sandstone. The reputation which has been made for Lincoln county sandstone, by the Pioneer Sandstone Co., has created an interest in that industry which promises to make Lincoln county famous. A bril liant prospect is now being worked near Elk City by Arthur Rochester, formerly of the government quarries. During the winter a large plant will probably be put in which will give employment to a nam ber of men. The rock which has been shipped from the Pioneer quarry to San Francisco and Los Angeles, bas been pronounced by experts to be the finest grade of gray aandstone ever shipped to San Francisco. Heretofore a large amount of stone used on the Pacific coast, and as far east as the Missouri river has been supplied by the Flagstaff, Arizona, quarries. The rock is of a reddish color, and the gray sand stone of Lincoln county has been ,found quite equal in quality, and the color is more desirable. With proper transpor tation facilities, there is no doubt but stone from Lincoln county will be found in all of the great cities of the west. Something: New.

The Corvallis boys di J not expect to score, for their team was conposed. largely of new men, and they have hnU but four days' training, while their opponents have been working a month un djr their couch, Benson, of Berkeley. The exiwutud happened with considerable inter est. The game was culled at 3 o'clock. The CurvailiK boys wanted to play 20-minut Halves, as they were not in condition to hold out much longer than that, but Eugene in sisted upon playing the full 35 minutes, and th O. A. V. Dually consented. When the university boys ciuneoii lliu field it whs seen ihat they weru in tine condition. They were all large, active-looking men, with Hie- ei- cvption of Hosco iiryson, their quarter-back, who looked small betide the others. Rock, :y the way, played a line game, and made a iuci.-,iuwii , alter a good, long run. The game o.iened with the O. A. C. having the kick-oif. They punted the ball well down into the university held. By good interfer ence the Dudes pushed the ball back among the Farmers, and in a lew minutes by rapid end and center plays made a touch-down. Tempi :lon kicked goal. Then tbey repeated the performance, and at the end ol the fi.st Unit, Hie score stood Z4 to 0, in fiver of .Lu nelle. In the first part of the last half the Dudes made touch-downs in rapid succession and in -U minutes Hie score Uxd 4u to U. Tiiu unit ersity boo put up a good, strong, quick name, and show lliM they have been Weil and carefully coached. liul tbey will have to improve greatly yet, 10 beul the game the Portland University put up last year. Our boys, individually, piayvd well and seemed to have lots of endur ance. 2coggins, the left halt-back, is altogether loo light although he is uuick. and willing. Miles Phillip's end whs generally avoided, and the coach will probaoiy piny hiui tackle.

Arthur tttiiiipson was hurdiy in the right position us quarter, but he was in every play, and hasn't a bit ol timidity. Tub other boys generally played as wll as could be expected, but one or two were almost uswicsa for defense or attack. x Mr. Downing, the O. A. U. coach, says the result might have ueeu expeeleu, and that two weeks' hard training will put the boys in good shape. The game gave him a good idea uf the worth of the, several play ers, and the instruction they require. It gives the players, too, an . idea of what they have to do to win. 'J lie coach says tin y probably realize now that they will have 10 use leg and arm bone, and not jaw bone in Lieut. Dentler, manager of the O. A.

PRAISES FOK HXK CITY. . Elk City, Ok Octolr 21, 1895. Earroa Ga'zkttic: After waiting, lot these many years, it seems that the praises of this delightful little mountain village are to be left unsung-, un less some poet, yet unknown, tunes bis harp. Located at the junction of the Big Klk and Yaquina rivers on the line of the O. 0. & E. R. R., the lofty mountains of -the Coast rang rising to a dizzy height on every side, it is one of the most picturesque of moun tain hamleU. Lpon gelling otf the train and walking across the bridge over the Ya quina, the man, fresh from the caici any. trials incidental to a life in the city, stops and gazes around him as in a dream, .hav ing tilled hi lungs with the pure' mountain air, his pulse quickens and a new man walks tp the steps of the Hotel Deyoe. - The true sportsman from the city is soon recognized and is gladly admitted to the camp fire of the hardy mountain man. There is probably no place in the state of Oregon, whence the sportsman may spend a few days with such complete satisfaction to himself, as at Elk City. Commencing about May 1st, and continuing throughout the summer, the waters of the Yaquina and Bin El U above tide-water are seldoni equaled for fly fishing; and at the same time large numbers of tiout may bo taken oil tide water with bait and the troll., During Ai.- g il the rivers are teeming with lh loixlly sea trout, and the most ardent fisherman ci.n not fail to be salUlicd auer a troll over two or three miles of the Vaquimi waters. During the year there are several thous ands of dollars worth of trout shipped from Elk City to the diilerent valley cities, all aken with the rod and line, in the hilis ui rounding, are to be fo ,ud the noble blue -tail buck, and black and blown liear; and but fifteen miles away the hunter is 01W11 r wauled for his hard day's hunt, by a mag niiiceiil pair of antlers belonging to that kin,, of all guuiu, the eiK. Surrounded-by ail these, nature's grandest creations, is it to be wondered at, that the uiouuiaiu man should be happy and contented 1 ' At litis season of the your, each morning, half a dozn aitxiou men meet the train, aud eagerly div. into a small box sent by the salmon fishermen from Toledo, and each, taking what salmon eggs he neo Is for the da j 's fishing, hastens home where they are quickly prepared for use. Half an hour la ler, six little boats are cast loose from their moorings and the fleet is under wigh for the fishing grounds. One by one the boats drop out, until six boats an made fast along th banks of the river, the occupants of e.ch patiently waiting for a bite." Ihriie or four hours later, the boats containing six hungry turn are again seen coining in 011 the flood tide, and afwr a short stop for -lunch. are out again until night, when the trout are carefully dressed, counted and assorted for shipment. The "low boat" scarcejy fails to have his dollars worth of trout, and;"hi boat" from $3 to $5 on good days; I dareay, Mr, Editor, the cha-mof thi '"neck of th woods" have been sulBel.ntly introduced in the foregoing, and should ac- , ci lent befall any one of the six boats 'above meniionod, I shall take great pleasure in communicating to you the fact. . X Presentation. Our mayor, Col. John Kelsa.v, was 7(5 years old hut Wednesday. The colonel has lived in Corvallis since the 'uU's, and has filled many positions with honor and credit. Uu pained quite a reputation as a soldier in the Indian wars; represented Benton county the constitutional convention, has. ten iidge of the second judicial district, and oc cupied a position on the supreme bench of this state. He was elected mayor of Corvallis at the last city election . Judga Kelsay has prscticed at law ever since be cim to Oregon and has taught unny;of 0(r ending lawyers the mysterirs of Blackttone and Kent. Some of his former and present students took advantage of his birthday to present him with a handwmn umbrolla and walking stick. In the evening Limit. Dent- Mr, J. Fred Yates, Brady Burnett, L. V. Eberhart, A. L. Mdfndden, Jr., J. H. Wil son, Geo. W. Den man and H. L. Hnlgnte, called at the colonel's home and in a nnat speech Mr. Wilson made the presentation.

There is, perhaps, 110 man in the west who has a greater appreciation of -the value of his own services than John P. Fay; known here during the Hadley management of the Oregon Pacific, as the attorney for the Blair- Whorton faction of bondholders. It will be rtmmnberod that after leaving here. Fay & Gest began suit in the federal court against the bondholders' committee for legal servi-' Cos, claimed to have been rendered, and ob tained a judgment, by dnfmilt. of $43,000, which judgment was subsequently settled. During the litigation here, thor was some adverse criticism mide in roirard to Mrl Fay's acting a double rolo he at that time being regarded as tha attorney for the bond holders' committee, as well as for the re- cniver. Mr. Fny. however, denied that he was the receiver's counsel, and claimed to le acting only for the Blair-Whorton faction of bondholders, and that-Mr. Gest was the re ceiver's attorney. Notwitnstanding this denial, Mr. Kay has Hied with Referee Wood cock his claim for services alleged to have been preferred for the rweiver, E. W. Had- ley, from March 1st, 1803, to Decern ber of the same year. Ho only asks to be allowed the modest sum of $7fiOJ.95,of which amount $2478.95 is claimed m expenses, all of which tends to show that Mr. Fay, to say th least, has a very exalted opinion as to the worth of his legal servicps.

WANTS A PENSION. Charles Whiteln-ud, one of Uncle Sam's pension agents, arrived in Corvallis Satur day last and reluri-eH to Portland Tuesday. Mr. Whitehead is a resident of Los Angeles, Calif., and for several years has been en gaged by the government pension 'bureau in collecting evidence pertaining to pension claims in cases where the proofs h-ive 11. it been altogether tatisfautory.
