Belknap, an honored Ben ton county pioneer, died at his home near Monroe last Saturday at the advanc ed age of 75 years 3 months and 16 days. Mr. Belknap was born in December, 1820, in the state of Kentucky. Some years later his family moved to Ohio and subsequently to Van Buren county Iowa, where he was married in the fall of 1842. In the spring of 1847, with his wife and two small children, Mr. Belknap started with a party across the plains for Oregon reaching Corvallis the following Novem- oer. a lew montns later Mr. Belknap located his donation land claim near Monroe in the section now known as the Belknap settlement, where he lived, hon ored and respected until his death last week: The deceased was the father of six children who survive him. The school board of district No. 9 held its annual meeting for the election of teachers for the coming year at the court house last Friday evening. With a sin gle exception, all the old teachers were retained. ' Miss Letta Wicks was chosen to fill the vacancy caused by the resigna tion of Miss Tennie Spencer, who has been in charge of the fifth grade during the past year. Miss Spencer's work has given general satisfaction and she was deservedly popular among her pupils. Her successor, Miss Wicks, is a graduate of the O. A. C, and since furnishing Tier college course, has taught successfully. The action of the board in re-electine Prof. Pratt and his assistants meets with general approval and is a compliment to the teachers for their efficient, painstak ing work. S ome changes were made in the assignment of the departments aud the several grades will be presided over as follows: 1st grade Mary Newton; 2nd grade, Alice Horning; 3rd, Gertrude Vaughn; 4th, Clara Duncan; 5U1, May Nelms; 6th, Augusta Turney; 7th, Letta Wicks; 8th, S. I. Pratt. H. H. Kreger and wife expect to leave sometime in July for Santa Barbara, Cal., where Mr. Kreger will engage in busi ness. They recently returned from an extended trip through Southern Califor-! nia and Mexico and were very favorably impressed wiih that portion of the coast Mr. Kreger says that the California fruit crop is badly damaged and Jess than half r ... . , . - a crop will be harvested this fall. How- ever, he says Southern California is ex- penencing a boom from the influx of eastern people and also from the mining interests of that favored portion of the coast, and the opening for business is very encouraging. Mr. Kreger has had considerable merchantile experience and will doubtless meet with success in his new undertaking. He proposes estab lishing a cloak and suit house in Santa Barbara, a city of some 10,000 inhabitants, aryl will have several thousand dollars invested iu the business. While in Santa Barbara, Mr. Kreger frequently met Mr. E. W. Hadley who left here last fall. Re cently he purchased a piece of property there for $6,000, and has let a contract for the erection thereon of a ten thous and dollar dwelling.

The next blaze was in the roof of G. A. Waggoner's res idence, and it was extinguished promp' ly, causing only a trifling loss. ProbabU $30 will cover the lossin all three in stances, although at any one of there fires the loss might have 5,000 and pos sibly $25,030. Truly Corvallis has a fire department which is entitled to unstint ed praise for its active and efficient ser vice. - - Sunday - Excursions.

The Hoag and the Elmore left their docks Saturday morning with crowds'of Corvallis people who went to cheer the O. A. C. con testants at the annual intercollegiate field meet at Salem. Additional people boarded the l-0:its at Albany and Icdependence. The program of the day was carried out at Salem fair ground," and a huge crowd gath ered to witness tne athletic performances of the various colleges. :N - . ' The first event was a contest for points be tween Co. P. O. A. C- cadets and Co I. O. N. G. of Siik-m. Tho O. A. C. boys showed the:nsuivs grandly hers, and were heartily chaered in their various movements. Their splendid training and faithful attention to duty won thorn tho victory and lots of glory. They were giren credit for 31 points out of a possible 40, while their opponents secured '.but 15 points. I CurvullU boys nhowed up well in the ath letic numbers, and considering the small number of men entered and - tho num ber of evcnU in which the O. A. C. was luted, they won tha highest percentage. Three firsts were won by the O. A. C. boys; Brady Burnett captured tho mile run handily. Bodino wnlked away with the hummer throw and had six feet to spare; while Colvig won the 220-yard r'ash in a very closo race and lowered the northwest record. Don Kay came in second in the 100-yard du$h, and may be given first place as- the winner is accused of buing a professional. Burnett was a hair-breadth second in the 880-yard run, while Kink in the mile walk, and Hague in the broad jump, secured third places. Corvallis people present were well satis fied with the performence of their boys, and ( Ike O. A. C. made decidedly the best im- j pression with tho majority of the people pres- I ent. - j Lieut. Dontlor is to be congratulated upon I the fine showing made by the cadets, and he j can hardly bo blamed if his voice betrays a j proud feeling. Prof. Ed. Lance has proven his ability as an athletic trainer. Ho was a valuable assist ant to Air. Eph Cameron, and to their efforts U due no small share-of the credit for the fine performance of tho O. A. C. at Salem. -There was a noticable absence of betting Saturday, the only events that soomed to call forth tho betting spirit being the mile run and hammer throw, and 111 these Gslr vallis came home with Eugene cash. - Eugene won the cup by a largo number of points. The O. A, C. boys should learn a lesson fro n Saturday's contest, and go down next year determined try for the champion ship. Sand men for every entry and plenty of them. Their motto this year seemed to be, "First place or no entry," and made no ef fort for team glory. ' Burnett, Colvig, Kay and Crawford go to Portland Saturday. to octer tho M. A. A. C, invitation games, where they will be entered agitiust the Portland Athlotic Club, Town soul Athletic Association, M. A. A. Club, and several of tho college associations and clubs throughout tho state. We oipeetto h -ar good reports of their doing.

It was generally supposed that tho report of B ;t.;ree Woodcock and the disbursement of t ie fuuds in court in compliance with his findings, would end the long drawn out case, but last week an U. judge for the district of California banded down an opinion in the libel proceedings against the steamer Wi! Umetio Valley, awarding Chas. Clark, re ceivurand plaintiff in tha case, $-3,0lM, the gurpllu from tho sale of the steamer, and claim int for tho vessel. Counter-petitions were liled by the ma-tUT for his wagos as master and pilot; by a judgment creditor, who hid recovered a common-law judgment in tne slate courts; by the sureties, who went on a b-Kid to release the vessel when she was first lioeled, and wxre compelled to pay the amount of the decree; by several iii.-urance ci)m,iani -3, as holders of receivers' certifi cates purp.ri.iii to give them a priorlien in payment of premiums for insmance, and by other holders of . certificates. The court awards lire entire surplus, less all costs, to the receiver, on tho ground that he was the representative of the owner, and primarily emitlod to it, and on the further ground that no ieof tho petitioners, other than the hold ers of receivers' certificates, have any lien against the fund as against the claim on the owner, and the petitioners holding receivers', certificates, whether iht-y had a lieu or not (whicii is not dtieidvrd), the proper . coirt to pa-s upon tln-ir rival claims was the receiv er's court which issued the certificates and marshaled all the claims pending against the insolvent corporation which formerly owned the vessel.

Multnomah Field. Much local interest is being taken in the Multnomah -field games scheduled for next Saturday, on account of entries made by members of the O. A. C. Ath letic Association. Speaking of the out side talent which is to take part in Sat urday's contest the Oregonian of Monday has the following:; "Most of them ap pear to be novices, Ray and Crawford of the O.' A. C. come within this class, and as they have no previous records, it is hard to say what they will do. They must, however, have confidence in their ability to make some sort of a showing or they certainly would not enter against men like Fuller, Coyne and Rosenberg. Fred Colvig of the O. A. C. is a novice in the 100-yard dash, but he is a fast short distance man, a3 he showed Saturday, when he made the '220' over a straight away course at Salem, in 23 2-5, and will not be a tailender in the short event. Burnett is also likely to harras3 some of the local men, his performance at Salem showing that he has more than average speed antTeudurauce." The college will be represented as follows: 100-yard dash (handicap) Don C Ray, Fred Colvig and Frank H. Crawford. 220-yard dash (handicap) F. H. Crawford and Fred Col vig. 440 yard run. (handicap) L. Kelly and B. F. Burnett 1 080 yard run B. F. Burnett, who is also entered for the mile run. Bodine is eutered for th 56 and 16-pound hammers; Arthur Wood will appear in the bicycle races, and Hague will set a pattern in the broad jump. THE CIRCUS. A circus visited Corvallis Tuesday. It was not Sells, but a deefded sell, and while not very liberally patronized,"" yet took away not a few bright half dollars from a not over-abundant source. The O. B. & N. Co. contracted to bring the circus up the river and it is said it is out 91,000 through failure to get tho show folks at Albany in time to give their advertised performance. Albany pcoplo should help recompense the O. It. & 1. One or two fea tures of the how were fairly good, but on the whole the performance defrauded even the mau with a free pass. Pick pockets, sure-thing gamesters, sneak thief? and all tho usual circus following were in evidence and the pickings' amounted to as much as the legitimate, if any of it can bo called legiti mate, earnings. Several ladies report neatly-depleted pockets. Sirs. Thompson lost several dol lars. Mrs. Wills Scott contributed $5 to the nimble-fingered gentry and a woman whoso name wo' did not learn is said to mourn the fleeting ways of $25 of the gold bug's color. Tho old, old shell game, bald-headed and gray-whiskered, exposed in every country and clime, the most flagrantly apparent fraud of all frauds, captured its full quota of suckers not from green denizens of the backwoods, but from otherwise sensible bus- iness men kid would-be sporty schoolboys. ' 'lhey dropped considerable lucre into the tin horns' coffers.,-' The amounts contribu- ' ted by the victims ranged from 10 cents to ' J20. '. The circus; ha, gone to fresher fields t and to look for greener grass. . Corvallis is somewhat poorer, but there is 'doubt of it being much wiser. ; " 1 ' . - Letter List.
