We have been asked to call the
attention of the proper authorities
to a nuisance which exists near the
bridge which crosses Oak creek on
the Philomath road. A party has
hauled a barrel of garbage from
Corvallis and dumped it in the
stream just below the ford and the
stench it sends forth is said to he
horrible. Not only this, but it
contaminates the water which flows
through Mary's river into the Wil
lamette and ultimately reaches the
homes of this city through the city
water works. It should be abated.

not deem it advisable to travel
through China to reach his desti
nation, under the present circum
stances, and so awaits orders at
Nagasaki. The rest of Mr. Miller's
family are summering at Tioga,
Long Beach.
The hop crop in Oregon this sea
son will be exceptionally small.
Last year's out-put was 80,000
bales and this was far from aver
age. Some estimate this year's
product at 60,000 bals, but Mr.
John Whitaker, one of the best
posted men on these matters in the!
state and a heavy Benton county
grower, believes a conservative es-1
timate would be 45,000 bales, j
While the outlook tor a good price
is not now encouraging, he believes
the shortage will be felt and fair
prices prevail. At a meeting of
growers at Silyerton last week, rep
resenting 800 acres of bops, 33
cents per bale was the price agreed
upon for paying pickers.
SOME SPLENDID MEN.
Students Who Have Won Honors for the
College and Themselves.
Sunday's Oregouian contained
the following bit of OAC his
tory which, while fresh in the
minds of most of us, will prove
interesting reading. These things
are what help to advertise the
college, and these achievements
of its students challenge the ad
miration of all who read and win
their interest and support.
The action of the regents of
the Oregon Agricultural College,
whereby athletics at that institu
tion are abolished, is a very un-
welcome piece of
.
news to the
sport loving public of the state.
The preamble of the resolntion
passed by the board states that
"intercollegiate games have
passed beyond the bounds of
reason and developed into a form
of mania that is demoralizing to
the moral mental and physical
well-being of college students."
Statistics from nearly every
educational institution in Amer
ica disprove this allegation. It
is a pretty well established fact
that the best American college
athletes are among the best stu
dents, and this has helped in
part, to make college athletics
so popular, as they are today.
It is not true that athletics,
under proper supervision, over
tax the physical man. Proper
training is conducive to good
health, and the training that the
athlete receives is often of great
assistance to him in after life.
Athletics develop not only the
muscles, but also the nerves and
the brain, and prepare men for
decisive action at the critical
moment.
The Oregon Agricultural Col
lege boys began their athletic
work in 1894. when "Bill"
Bloss, "the father of Oregon foot
ball," organized a football team,
with which he won the intercol
legiate championship of the state
for the college. In 1896 the
OAC eleven was beaten by
Eugene, by a score of 10 to 6,
but in 1897 it won all games
played, beating Eugene 26-8,
and the University of Washing
ton by 16 too. For the last two
seasons, Eugene has won from
OAC the score being 38-0 each
game, but the Corvallisites have
had good representative teams,
although they were a trifle slow.
OAC may be said to rank sec
ond in the intercollegiate foot
bail league.
Some splendid men have
played on the Corvallis line,
"Pap Hayseed", Bodine, Hol-
gate, Phillips and Thurston being
among them, and ranking with
the best football players of the
state. Then there were the Bur
nett brothers, Eigin, Walters,
McBride and Goodrich, all of
whom helped to make the OAC
teams of the past years famous.
In track athletics the work of
the college has not been so bril
liant, although sqme remarkable
men have been developed. O A
C won the cup in '97, but in
other years has had a hard strug
gle with Willamette University
for second place. The fast sprin
ters, Kelly and Crawford; the
Burnett brothers, in the dis
tances, and Bodine, in the
weights, helped to make the '97
team invincible. Of the later
men, Palmer, the hurdler and
Redd, the quarter-miler, were
the most conspicuous. Scott
has done 21 feet 8 inches in the
broad jump, and Burnaugh is
one of the best all-around ath
letes in the state. A number of
these men have graduated, others
will go elsewhere to college,
while some will probably return
to Corvallis to complete the
course and to dream again of
the days when the "farmers"
were victorious and the orange
waved triumphant.
A Growing Industry.
The Corvallis Manufacturing
Company is making a strong bid
for the box trade in this vicinity.
They have one of the best
equipped plants this side of Port
land, their machinery being up-to-date
in every respect. They
have what is known as a railway
cut-off saw Which travels on
planed guides and insures stock
being cut a great deal truer than
that made with the swing saw in
use in most box factories. Be
sides this they have a large four
side planer that dresses stock to
an even width and thickness,
and a large 36-inch re-saw which
also gives stock an even thick
ness. As this plant is an annex
of the Corvallis sawmill, stock
can be selected from a large
quantity of pine and Cottonwood
lumber. The company is now
supplying the Salem box factory
and other points.

& Callahan's Remnant
Charged With Bigamy.
A case which is attracting much
interest in Alsea was to have been
tried in Justice John Edwards'
court last night. Last February,
R. E. Edwards, who by the way is
not a relative of the justice, was
united in marriage in this county
with Miss Strake, of Alsea. The
young lady is but seventeen years
of age, and in the absence of the
father, the mother gave her consent
to the union. It is now alleged
that R. E. Edwards has a wife and
three children living in Wisconsin,
and that he has never secured a di
vorce. Edwards' father who died
recently in Alsea told of hia son's
ffirmpr mftrriao-fi. and Tohn Rtrakfl
, flVT &j A? v '
swore out a warrant for the arrest
of Edwards last week on the charse
of bio-amv and sdulterv. DeDutv
District Attorney E. R. Bryson
went over to Alsea yesterday to
prosecute the case. The defendant
will be represented by Attorney
Julian McFadden. The case was
originally set for Saturday last but
neither attorney for the defense or
prosecution appearing, it was post
pone on contingent until last
night. Edwaids was asked to give
cash bonds for his appearance in
the Bum of $100, which he did
promptly.
Is Missing Yet.
Bert Griffith and Frank Baker
who enjoyed the hospitality of
Benton county from May 1st to
July 20th, were given triai at Toledo
last week and sentenced to three
years each in the penitentiary.
The Leader thus describee their
villainy:
On or about a certain date Wil
liam Griffith killed a cow on the
Griffith premises on Drift creek.'
Frank Baker, who was in the em
ploy of William Griffith, assisted
in butchering the animal. This
part of the crime took place in the
fore part of the night, and Bert
Griffith also assisted by holding a
lantern. The cow tallied with the
description of one lost by Mrs.
Troxel on about the same date, but
the head, from which the ears had
previously been removed, was con
cealed and have never been dis
covered, neither have the ears. A
pile of red and white hair, such as
was worn by Mrs. Troxel's cow,
was found concealed at the base of
a fir tree. Bert and Baker both
testified that the hair was from the
animal killed bv William, who,
they also said, inforaied them that
it was a wild cow. Mis. Troxell's
cattle had been tracked to the
Griffith premises and back to
another point on the range, and
when found the red-and-white ani
mal was missing and is missing
yet.
Talked Water Works.

to connect
with the main sewers, the mat
ter was referred to a special
committee consisting of Coun
oilmen Hayes, Wilbanks and
Heckart. Their duty will be to
determine where sewers are
most desired and urgently need
ed and report same to the coun
cil. The question of the city water
system was under discussion.
The council determined to ask
the water company to extend its
mains and make certain other
improvements. It was also de
cided that the city should con
trol water rates. In the case of
failure to secure these conces
sions, the city will proceed by
some means to obtain them.
Gravel mea were paid in full
in the sum of $240.

L. R. Lothrop, a veteran railroad
engineer from Tacoma, was in Pen
dleton July 19, with a company of
surveyors under his charge, hav
ing come from the Malheur coun
try. There they have been survey
ing a line up the Malheur river,
beginning near Vale, where the
canyon commences. They ran to
Malheur lake, far up into the moun
tains. The line followed the grade
made many years ago for the old
Oregon Pacific, most of the old
grade remaining and some of it be
ing intact. In fact, the tract is
complete for several mile west from
Ontario. It is understood that the
Lothrop engineering party was in
the field for the Corvallis & East
ern, which has been considering
the advisability of extending its
line from the present terminus to
the boundary of Eastern Oregon.

crest of the Cascade range, reach

A TWICE-TOLD TALE.
Some Things Related in Confidence
Founded on Truth.
It must be great sport to hunt
and fish and experience the many
and various adventures as related
by the returning parties of
sportsmen. In order to give an
idea of what will Hake place it is
only necessary to relate a few
that happened the Johnson-Kerr-McFadden-Whitehorn
party dur
ing their recent outing on rive
Rivers. One morning, Bob
Johnson and Julian McFadden
having eone ahead a couple of
miles to fish, Tommy Whitehorn
and George Kerr were detailed
to follow up with the team.
George Kerr was in the front
! seat, driving, and Tommy sat
complacently in a seat over the
stern of the vehicle. Just as
they arrived at the spot where
Bob and Julian were fishing
Tommy espied a deer, and
shouted to Bob that there was
his deer. About the time that
Bob had got his rifle the animal
reached the river and jumped
into the stream. Everything
was excitement. George Kerr
grabbed the only weapon at
hand, which happened to be a
shot-gun, and sprang to the
ground just as Bob fired. Tom
my sat in his soat and shouted
directions. Julian had nothing
to say too much Blackstone on
mind, no doubt.
When Bob fired it was plain
that the deer had received its
death shot, for it began strug
gling about. George was about
forty feet from it and opened
fire with the shot-gun. When he
fired the animal sank down. At
the same instant away dashed
the horses with Tommy sitting
in the back seat and no lines.
Everything was confusion.
There was a dead deer, and rivals
for the honor of killing it, whilst
Tommy continued down the
road after the fashion of an old
country steeple chase, until he
finally got the reins and suo
ceeded in stopping the frightened
horses. No damage was done
in the runaway. George claimed
to have killed the deer, because,
as he stated, "it fell just as I
shot." It was understood that
as George was not more than
forty feet distant and had a shot
gun there was a remote possibil
ity of his having hit it, but in
spection proved that there were
no bird shot in it, and hence it
is now settled that George shot
in the air.
Many experiences were theirs.
They gained information of
value. For instance, Tommy
Whitehorn found out that the
settlers of that section employed
horses and carriages when they
fished and imparted the knowl
edge to the party. They were
incredulous and Tommy ex
plained that he had overheard
a man state that he had "given
Mr. Sot-and-so a 'rig' and started
him fishing." Ask Tommy
about it.

ting ready to depart they exper
ienced some difficulty in packing
their outfit on the pony they had
not perfected the "diamond hitch"
and the pony proceeded to spill
