Stanford Journal, Cal. The enterprising firm of A.

We call attention to the new registra tion law of Oregon aud all should mem ember that every voter in this state, be fore being eligible to exercise his right of fta nchise, must register with the clerk o his county ltween the first Monday in January, and 5 o'clock p. m. of the loth day of May of each year in which a gen era! state election is held. The law pro vides that every elector must register, either by appearing in the office of the county clerk or by appearing before a justics of the peace or notary public. Under this law registration will be made free to th county by the clerk, but it will co 10 cants apieca where mile b3 fore a justice . On i readers will remember the lawsuit recen tly contested in Justice Brysons court, to which the city of Philomath and J. W. Ingle were parties, and the amount involved was f 1.75. Mr. Ingle was his own attorney, and the case was decided in his favor. In addition to the 1 1.75, a cost of $59.80 was charged to the city of Philomath, The city's attorneys, E. L. Bryan and Weathrford and Wyatt, of Albany, have patitioned the circuit court far a review of the proceed ings in the Justice court, alleging that er rors were made. Mr. Ingle is debarred fro:n practicing in the circuit" court, and we were unable to learn who his attor neys will be. An amusing incident" happened a short distauce out in the country, on Tuesday night. An old farmer living out there, on walking out into his yard and gazing across the expanse of fields and meadows beheld a spectacle in the distance that came near astounding him. Away out there, shiuing like a ball of fire just over the horizon, could be seen a star, so brilliant and luoiinois that its sister con stellations were but objects of pity. "Good Lor, Mary, come out here and look at that star out yonder !" he called to his wife. There they both gazed, and wondered, but the only conclusion they could arrive at, was that the strange spectacle was one of the meteors, billed to come, and it had arrived early. The old innocents retired, to arise in the morning to find the star still there, and there it will be for many years to come, for it was naught but the large arc light beaming from the tower of the college administration building, Tuesday night leing the first time they were set burn Mr. A, F. Hershuer has leased the Ray Brick, occupied until recently by the Exchange, and will resume business in uorvams. tie is now busy arranging an elegant stock of new groceries, and expects to open his entire store to the public tomorrow. The Albany Democrat will now see how good a prophet it is. Of course it will not say the University of Oregon will win the championship. It will have to hedge some way. Forty-seven to noth ing is a very bitter pill to swallow: Statesman. In 43 minutes, too. While doing a little carpenter work about his premises last Friday, Mr. S. N. Wilkins had a little mixup with a re fractory board which came near placing him hors de combat.' The board was above and being loosened, fell, striking him on the cheek, breaking off a tooth and marring the beauty of that side of his face. As a business barom eter, a post office is entitled to no little consideration, and in this connection the. receipts of the post office as shown by the official re ports, indicates a story of unusual pros sperity that is worth mentioning, viz : The gross receipts of tho office for Octo ber just passed, were the largest in the history of the office, being 87 per cent more than for the corresponding month of 1895, 90 per cent more than for the same month of 1896, 80 per cent more than for the same month of 1897 and 27 per cent more than for the same month of 1898 or for- any other month since the establishment of the office. With fresh eggs selling at 22 to 25 cents a dozen in the Corvallis market, it looks as if "the woman with the hen" will su percede "the man with the hoe." Ore gon has made great strides in the poul try business during the- past few years, but the demand is outgrowing the sup ply. - Farmers should not overlook this branch of agriculture any longer, but en ter into it as a part of the farm work systematically. There can be no doubt of the demand for poultry products for years to come. There are other features of farm work that require more labor than a little attention to the poultry yards, with much less profit. News has been received here of the death of William Jasper : Freel, from cancer of the face, at Davenport, Wash., October 29th. Mr. Freel was a veteran of the Rogue river Indian war, and a pioneer of Benton county. He was born in Jasper connty, Indiana, April 22, 1839. In 1852 he emigrated to Oregon, locating in Benton county. Daring the trip across the plains his parents died of cholera, Mr. Freel re sided in Benton county until some 13 years ago. He leaves four sisters : Mrs. George Kiger, Philomath; Mrs. David Hawley, Dusty; Mrs. Johnathan Park inson, of Pomona, Kansas, and Mrs. Jas per Newton, of Thornton, Washington. Mr. S. II. Moore, late of Illinois, who recently purchased the farm of Ira Hun ter, received a letter from his father, Mr. J. H. Moore, of Brimfield, Illinois, Tuesday, instructing him to purchase immediately, the 630-acre farm of Henry Calioway, 10 miles north of Corvallis, ad joining the Ira Hunter place. Mr. Moore, junior, came to Corvallis without delay and closed the. bargain with Mr, Calloway, the consideration being $6,000. Instructions also came from the father to purchase the residence of Mr. A. F. Hershner for $1,600, aad deeds for both transactions were executed Tuesday. Mr. Moore has anunt in Illinois who wishes to purchase a 30 or 32-acre farm near Corvallis, for which she is willing to pay $1,000, and Mr. Moore is on the lookout for such a bargain. Mr. S. H. Moore will arrive in Corvallis about March 1, 190.). This is the season when in Northern states east of the Rocky mountains, the ground freezes and the muddy roads be come "hubby." Stock come scampering and shivering about the barns and sheds to be housed and fed. AVith thick, coarse coats and mittens the farmers go out in the morning to "do the chores'' into "a nipping and an eager air." Vegetation is all dead ; aud the long win ter has begun. Here in Corvallis in the heart of Webfoot, it will be several weeks yet before the cold winds come, and no surprise would be felt if they should not appear at all. In many of our Corvallis yards the roses are bloom ing yet and many bright and hardy flowers shed their autumnal fragrance upon the temperate atmosphere. Mud there is, and moisture, but most kinds of seasonable, out-of-door work can be prosecuted with no inconvenience a large portion of the time. We shall have some brief spells of sharp winter weather, but the climatic contrast be tween Oregon and Vermont, Bay, for the next five months, is one that Oregonians can view with satisfaction as to, their place of residence.

The college chapel was filled with peo pie on Friday evening to listen to the first of this year's series of col lege lectures. The lecturer was Rev. W E. Copeland, of Salem, and his subject was "Trusts." The discourse contained much information and was very instruc tive to those who attended. Excellent music was furnisned by the college or chestra. The Salem Statesman is authority for the statement that the officers of the Ore gon Hop Growers' Association are nego tiating for the sale of a 15,000 bale lot at 11 cents a pound. If this is consum mated it will be one of of the largest hop sales eyer made in the state. Hon. W. H. Holmes, of this city, is one of the members of the execu tive board of the association.

Mr. and Mrs. New ton expect to reside in the city. State Biologist F. L. Washburn has received 10 barrels of young Eastern oysters , which he took to Yaquina Bay, where they were planted. Tho shipment weigned a ton ana a nan. rroiessor Washburn says the experim ent with Eastern oysters at Yaquina has proven successful, the oysters having spawned and developed satisfactory growth. The conditions at Yaquina having proved favorable, this shipment is made per manently to stock the oyster beds there with Eastern oysters. , In driving along the country roads at this time of year it is an easy matter to distinguish the thrifty farmer from the careless one. The difference is depicted in the manner in which each takes care of his farming machinery. The time tf year lms come wheu the farmer should take care of the farm implements. Every plow, wagon, harrow, reaper mower or other implement used should be stored away out of the sun, rain and snow, snea lor storage can oo easny built and it should be borne in mind that protection is as important as any task of the farm. Thousands of dollars are lost every year by the thoughlessness of farmers in not caring for their imple ments.' The jolly Freshmen of the college had one of their "times" at the armory last Friday evening. On entering the armory hall each lady was given a half heart on hich was written part of a familiar quotation, the gentlemen receiving the missing halves. All was pleasant con fusion uutil each boy succeeded in find ing his better half. After promenading for some time games were introduced in which all took and active part. Prof, Kent then called the attention' of the young people and started the grand march after which refreshments, con sisting of bananas and nuts were served. The presence of several members of the faculty added dignity to the occasion; At half past eleven the festive makers departed for home, heartily pleased with their evening's enjoyment. An item on the weather is always ap propriate, and in this regard we might say that prettier weather for this time of year could not be hoped for, or could be given ns than was afforded the first part of the week. It was as warm and brigh' as springtime, the air was lieht and balmy and those who were inclined to be blue were speedily cured of their ail ment. The farmers - who had been forced to cease their fall plowing a few days before owing to the rain, again had the opportunity of resum ing their work, and as a result much seed has been sown. But ou Wednesday morning the sleeping Oregonian was awakened at an early hour by the familiar tat too of the little silver raindrops on his roof, and old Web foot seemed herself once more. Those who had kept awake to witness the spectacle of shooting stars and falling meteorites were just a little disappointed. The more superstitious' pnes who ex pected to find themselves ',in eternity on Wednesday morning, awoke with a glad feeling in their- hearts for they knew it was entirely too wet to be that burn ing place of perdition. THE FARMERS FLEECE ALBANY AT FOOTBALL. The Visitors Failed to Make Yardage Even One Time, Whatever misgiving may have existed in the minds of the devotees of the grid iron as to the superior ability of OAC'i eleven of '99, was removed by those sturdy athletes last Saturday. Belittle Albany's team as you. may, it has same individual players who1 could secure posi tions on any college team in Oregon,: and its team work was far superior to any thing done by former elevens from that institution. It had shown itself the equal of Willamette in' practice game and held the U of O's seettnd eleven to a score of 6 to 0. While nor alarm was felt at the outcome of last Saturday's contest, the most sanguine admirer of OAC did not put the score at more than 30 to 0 in a game of 35-minute halves, afiSP-SHbauy felt that she had a chance to win. : The game was called at 3 o'clock with OAC defending the east goal, Hall kicked off to Albany's 2o-tyard "line Smich ran in for three yards. , Albany tried end but was downed for a loss ef three yards.

Quick as a flash, Albany's fast back, Morrison, gathered it in and started for the goal. He covered v 10 yards and was pounced -upon. .-"Albany could make no impression., on" the line and the ball went to OAC on downs The farmers began a series of plunges and shoitend rnns in which nearly every man on the team tried his hand at car rying the ball, and finally sent Hall over the line for a touch., down. -Jime 10 minutes. Hall kicked thisand very- succeeding goal. Score OAC 11, Albany 0. Albany kicked-to the farmers' 10-yard line.

Score, OAC 29, Albany, 0; Some idea of the rapidity of the farm er's play may be gathered from the num ber of line-ups made for the next touch down, which was made in Z minutes Albany kicked to 25-yard line. Belt ran in 5 yards. He was sent aronnd the end for 5 yards, and again for 4 yards. Johnson skirted the end for three yards. 1 Walters plunged 3 yards.

A 15-minute half was agreed upon, and Elgin was replaced at guard by Rice, an inexperienced man, and Noel took Belt's place at half. Harding went in as full. Albany kicked to Scott on 20-yard line, and this little, wonder dodged and squirmed until he had brought the ball to the center of the field. After an end run of 5 yards, Hall was given the ball for a punt, just to break the monotony.
