This uptiuiciuly means that the U oro thinks it bus won tho pen taut for 'Mo. wlilrh opinion litis heeu held already bv some luiu-i's In the state.

It obtuiued with out even playing u leinu that gave Portland Unlveisity, tho wiuiier of tlie 'U4 Deuuaiit, its hardest battle, as the score and testimony of I lie winning nam limply substantiates? The scheme Is doomed to fail If the oitlcers of tin Intercolh giate associa tion are us fair-minded as they arc considered to be." Forest Grove Hatchet: "Tho uiatm uerorthe State University team wrote to Mr Miller stating; that bis team will not play with P U Ibis beiuuii. This message was a great surpriso to our team, as Jugcue lius no Mhl to claim the pennant before the final match is played. We lail to we any reason why Eugene should looK down on us in contempt. However, the chum tiioiisliln oennnnt wld come to P U, it the Kueno boys ivfne to play the 'Vars tv team." After a huo or several weeks the Forest Grove paper have Just discov ered that tho U r O team has been out or practice since the Thanksgiv ing game aud do not intend to play another gun c tills seai-on. When the seliedulu for this season's games was arranged by the commit tee, consisting ol the manager of euch team lu the statu college association, the final game was set lor Thanks giving day, ulid was to bo played by the two teams which bail heen suc cessful no to that date. This was to be the championship game and the winner was to receive tlie pennant. In tho game ht Corvallis, Nove '.bi-r 2, tielweeii llie Corvallia and Forest Grove trams the score was a lie; hence neither learn woo the game and licit her team was entitled to further cuter the contest according to the schedule of the association, until the tie was oil'; and the only legal way to get it nil was to piny it oil. But in ste.id of iu ram.ing for an jl her game the mansgers of tlie Corvallis, Forest Grove and Salem teams aud Muddy, a player In the Portland team, held a meeting and re m ranged loo schedule so that (.'orvallis and Forest Grove would both lie entitled to remain in tho contest. The two teams then loesul coins to see which should play Salem Itrst, and the lot fell to (.'or vallis. Thus this new arrangement neces sitated another yainu being played after ThaiikKivii:g for the champion ship, mid entitled Foiei-t Grove to play in the ti mil content, although she had never won a game this season. l'lic meeting at Corvallis was held without the consent of Manager Keene of the U of O team, who was not prei ent. Manager Washburn of tho Port laud team whs not present at this meeting, and Muddy, who represented him, had no legal light to do so. Tint whole arrangement was unfair, and, according to the constitution of tlie association, wits illegal. As soon us the home team learned of this change made in the schedule by the clique at Corvallis, they khuouiio ed that If they won tho game with Portland nud the onu on Thanksgiv ing, they would not play Forest Grove after Thanksgiving day, und that so far as they weie concerned the Thanksgiving game would decide the 11 mil result. Tiny made this asser tion loiitf before the games were played with Portland aud S.ileui...The leuin was under heavy expeuae anu severe discipline, ulid did not wish to remain in practice longer than until riiatiUsgiviug.

This was the sec ond or (lie course or star entertain ments, which are being given under tlie uusplcies or tlie Luuivau and Kutaxian societies and again welo they n-eted with a small audience. The poo ile or Eugene do not svein to realize what they are missing by staying away from this course of entertain ments, which Is of a very blub order. Only the best performers are brottcht hero nniier tins management, mill it requires a strong Influence ai.d in volves a gieat dcul of expense to get them; and to have a continuation of elltertainmcliti or this high class will surely require a more liberal patronage Iroiii the public. The rceitul lust night was a rare treat, the like of which tlie people or Eugeiib do not of ten have an opiiortunity to hear. The eleven ditlercut characters of "The Merchant or Venice" were vividly port rayed by Mr. Cliapiu, who stands second to but Tew in his ability hi that line, lu llie recital nt humorous selec tions lie whs highly praised by his audience.

When 1 was ready to p to tho held with the lini'liinc, picking ha I boon in progro-a suveiul days. I nude several t xpet iuiciitul aUuclimctits which proved of no value. 1 alt;o made a new experimental trial in thu scp.trut r of le.ives, etc., from the hops after thov wero picked. This was of no nccoiint. It was then too lute to make a separator after the principle of the ono I hud used, which would have showed a good sample of picking. I there fore dressed out by huud tho hops us tliey p issed o'i the carrier to the bag. Tin-re i- no uriotii ililliculty in working ;i ecpurator such as there ha been in working a picker, only tho se.t.-um for picking is so short each year lo practice. My present experience will enablo mo to muko a reasonably good ono for next season's operations', when I intend to take contracts to pick a ft w yards, something I could not attempt before. I am notr building a hand mucliinn for two to feed in vines, inteude I to bn capable of picking a kiln of 3o to 41) boxes per tiny, a very economical condi tion for the many small growers of this tatc. This machine is calcu lated to bo moved in tho yard as boxes nro now for band picking. It is possible 1 will finish bv Febru ary." THE "Old! KOUAV DEAD.
