Another of those occurrences which have the tendency of causing a tinge of Badness to enter the student heart and bring tears; and grief into the family of the unfortunate one has occurred. at the OAC. "On Tuesday the national flag floated at half mast from the staff on the eollege building, announcing the fact that Adolph Witzel, a student, and a member of the freshman class was dead. Monday at noon the youth breathed his last, as a result of an attack of appendici tis. " The next day, all recitations were excused during the third and fourth hours in the morning,' the cadets, bat talion band and lady students marched with solemn step to the home of the un fortunate student in Job's Addition, and after a "short ceremony the remains were escorted by the cadets to the - depot, and they were taken by train to Turner, near which place his parents reside, and interment was made at Twin Oak ceme tery on Wednesday. A. week ago last Monday, young Wifc- zel became ill while in his classes and found it necessary to seek his room. "Dr. Altman was called and aa the boy con tinued to grow worse, Dr. Pernot was called for onsultatation. The case being appendicitis and of- so severe a nature, it was decided that an operation would be necessary, as a simi lar case in the person of the six-year-old daughter, of W. 8. Gardner had been performed several days before with en tire success. With the consent'of the parents, who had arrived in the mean time, Dr. Wallace, of Albany, was sum moned, and on Saturday morning the operation was performed in the presence of the Corvallis physicians. In the ap pendix was found a hard substance, to gether with mnch inflammation and peritonital complications. The opera tion failed to better the youth's condi tion and at noon, Monday, his last breath was spent. Adolph Witzel was born in Turner 16 years ago. With two brothers he re sided in Job's Addition, having come to Corvallis to attend the OAC. He was a bright, intelligent lad, and made many friends while in school. He was an earnest Christian young man, his last words being those of religious consola tion with his father and mother and Dr. Thompson. . About Lotig Tom. A dispatch from Monroe states that the work of clearing the Long Tom has been discontinued, owing to the rise in the river. The task of felling timber and blasting had been practically com pleted, but according to the reports of those who have been on the ground, there is now much work for the snag boat in removing debris and other ob stacles. : When this is done it is probable that the county of Benton will be notified to remove the bridges spanning the stream at Liverpool and Bundy's. Until that time nothing will be done in the matter by the county court aside from devising and maturing plans. , It is probable that a ferry will be put in operation at -Bundy's bridge until spring. This seems to be the most prac tical and. businesslike solution of the matter. Practical, because the present bridges will have to be removed imme diately upon the order of the govern ment and by the time the report in the matter can reach the secretary of war and be returned, December will be here. The court could order bids advertised for at its January session and open them at the February term, and spring would be nearly upon us. Even if work could be commenced in December it would be nearly impossible to haul lumber during the winter and the added cost would pay for buying and operating a ferry. ' The courtis in receipt of many in- quiries from foreign contractors who are anxious to enter bids. - It ia probable that draw bridges will notbe built The cost of construction is great and the expense of employing a bridge tender would be never ending. .

Goods sold for cash only during SORGHUM A SUG6ESS. Exprlments at The !0. A. C Prove that It Can fee Profitably crown In Ore son, Last spring the Union Gazetto hinted that the raising of sorghum is to be tne of the coming industries of Oregon. This statement was not a mere guess bat was based on facts secured from the lead' ing agricultural experiments of the state. At that time the professors at the ex periment station sent out a large amount of seed to larmers in every county in the state, for the fanners to plant and report as to their success. The seed was fur nished by the agricultural department at Washington. Some four weeks ago the samples of sorghum grown began to be received at the college chemical - department from all part of the state, samples, in fact from every county in Oregon. An announcement was made at the time that the result of the experiment would appear in these columns. - The professors have been busy in the analysis of the plant and the results have been much better than they ex pected. The plants received are luxuri ant in growth, being excelled in this re spect by none grown in the middle or eastern states, and in their content of sugar,, only by the cane grown in its native Louisiana soil. - Sorghum cane that contains six per I cent, of sugar can be profitably worked; that received by the college people con tamed an average of 10 per cent, sugar, while some of it reached as high as 14 per cent, ' These facts prove that sorghum can e can be grown in Oregon, and that profit ably. Our state consumes far more sugar than she produces from the beets grown in Eastern Oregon, and with the aia oi sorghum cane, we can grow oar own sugar mnch cheaper than we can now get it, bringing thousands of dol lars more revenue to oar producers, and lurnismng employment to a large num ber of our people. A New Pkysiclan. Corvallis has a new physician in the person of Dr. B. A. Cathey, who moved here recently from Woodburn. While a stranger in this locality, Dr. Cathey is well known in other sections of the state where he is highly esteemed as a phy sician and a c itize n. Until his ' resigna nation last summer, he has been pro fessor of physiology in the medical de partment of Willamette university since its transfer from Portland to Salem sev eral years ago. . . The Woodburn Independent express es regret at Dr. Gathey's departure from that city, and says: Dr, B. A. Cathey, whd for the oast nine years has been one of our most substantial citizens, has turned over his practice and disposed of his dwelling house to Dr. Mc Gorkle and will leave today for Corvallis, where he will prac tice medicine and his sons, Cecil and George will attend college. The departure of Dr. Cathey is a great loss to Woodburn, in a medicinal and so cial sense and in religious circles, having been a strong prop to the Methodist church of this city. ' . Not only is Dr. Cathey a physician and surgeon of ability and skill, but he is conscientious in the prac tice of his profession. . In short, Dr. Cathey is a man in every particular, has commanded the highest esteem of this community during his long residence here, and his going from our midst is a source of deep regret to our people, and especially to those whose family physi cian he has been for years. Mrs. Cathey who has also been prominent in church and social affairs, will also be greatly missed, as well as the whole family, who leave with the well wishes of alL ' They will join the doctor at Corvallis in a few days. . A farewell reception was given Dr. Cathey and family Tuesday evening in the M. E. church, which was filled with friends, and would have been crowded with friends from the country if the weather had permitted. Captain Harts, United States engineer, on having his attention called to the dis patch from Newport, to the effect that 700 feet of the north jetty at the entrance to Yaquina bay had been swept away by a storm, informed the Oregonian that it was doubtless the tramway connected with the jetty which had been swept away. There is no proDaDiuty mas any of the jetty has been carried away, and, as the jetty is entirely under water at the outer end, damage to it, if any, could not be seen. In building such jetties a tram- wav ia constructed on piles, and from this track the rock which forms the jetty is dumped into the water. The tramway is not removed when the' jetty is completed, and after a few years is wrecked and de stroyed. If the idea that only a section of the disused tramway at Yaquina bay was swept away is correct, no damage has been done and no loss incurred. The board ot United States engineers, which is preparing a report on the desirability or advisability of deepening the channel entrance to Yaquina bay, at an expense of about $1,000,000, will - meet again about the mibdle of next month, when the report will be completed and forward ed to the chief of engineers. this Sale GOME Yes, we were compelled to shelve fiom To make wm for our New Fall Stock consisting in part of DRY GOODS, FANCY GOODS NOTIONS OF ALL KINDS UNDERWEAR, BLANKETS, COMFORTS ; : CHINA, GLASSWARE, GRANITEWARE.
