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.

The game was culled at 3 o'clock. The
CurvailiK boys wanted to play 20-minut

out much longer than that, but Eugene in
sisted upon playing the full 35 minutes, and

who looked small betide the others. Rock,

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.

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

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

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

salmon fishermen from Toledo, and each,

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

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,

lawyer Fay's tCocUsc Bill.
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

Mr. Whitehead is a resident of Los Angeles,

county charge. It was also learned that
Mrs. Hamum was absent Irom borne, so Mr.
Whitehead returned to Corvallis and here
