Sheriff Burnett is in receipt of aaother letter from Jolin R. Scott!, of Melbourne, Missouri, concerning-- J. A. Balch and others, of his comrades - of the civil var. Scott is anxious for information regarding them, wishirig through their assistance to establish bis right to a pen sion. Scott says", acting, upon the suggestion of Sheriff Bur nett, he made inquiries of -the administrator . at Salem and learned that Seth R. Hanier had been dead two years. Scott enlisted in Co. F, ist Oregon Cavalry, and was sta tioned at Fort Lapwai, Idaho. He was soon detailed to take charge of a big band of pack mules, to act as packer. He was kept at this work during his entire enlistment, which ac counts for his uot being more iamiliar with the names of his comrades. He only knew them by aioknames, and had to answer roll call but once a month. The greater portion of Co. F was discharged in July or August, 1864, and Scott with others was transferred to Co. G, stationed at Camp Watson. Here he was put to packing for Co. A Inf. He thinks Balch lived near Albany, Fred McCoy near Harrisburg and Oregon City. Scott says, "All I want is a statement from anyone that they knew me as a soldier in good standing." Ed Roberts, he says, had a brother, who was a furniture maker, in Corvaliis. He moved to Albany. Together with Ben Wimble and Bart Mil ler, Scott rafted logs for the mill at the mouth of Marys river. He worked some for Simmons and Kiger and some for Green- berry Smith. College Happenings. CapL T. T. Apperson. presi dent of the board of resents of the Oregon Agricultural College, attended the chapel exercises at the college Tuesday morning, and made a short and instructive address to the students. The student body of the O A C met in the chapel, Tuesday, at 1 o'clock, for the ournftsft nf passing resolutions asking the board of regents to replace inter collegiate athletics. .The reso- 1 .. . . j- -r-- w iuuon was passec- oy a unani mous vote of the body, but the board failed to grant their re quest at the meeting, Wednes day. Messrs. Benton Killin, J. M Lhurch and J, T. Apperson, three members of the board of regents, visited the chapel dur. ing the exercises . Wednesday morning. "Mr. Benton Killin made a brief, but interesting ad dress, : The Farmers Short Course began Wednesday, y The short larmcrs are nor. so pientilul so tar this year as they were las year. . Regents Meeting. The board of rep-ents of the Agricultural met in regular ses sion in the office of President Gatch in the administration building Wednesday afternoon. Those present werei Apperson, Keady, . Olwell, Daly, Yates, Keady, Churoh, Killin, Irvine, Weatberford and Ackerman. As is usual at this annual win ter meeting, nothing of great moment concerning the interests of the institution was transacted. An evening session was held dur ing, which matters of interest only to members personally were considered. At the afternoon meeting the financial committee reported that the finanees of the institution were in a healthy condition. The action of the president in promising Mrs. Callahan $500 per year, additional to her pres ent salary of 1,000, for services performed at t! e ladies' dormi tory, was Confirmed by the board. Matters of legislation directly affecting the college which may be considered during the coming session of the legislature, were discussed, Representative Nich ols being present. A committee of four students representing the student body, appeared before the board, pre senting ' resolutions urging the re-establishment of college ath letics. The reasons why this was advisable were very ably set forth by the commitfee. In an swer to their petition, the board instructed President Gatch to correspond with the presidents ftf the various colleges and uni versities of the state for the pur pose of establishing a satisfactory plan for conducting inter-collegiate sports. President Gatch was asked to report the result or his labors in this direciion at the July meeting of tne board. It is hoped that a way may be de vised whereby the objectionable features of inter-collegiate meets may be eliminated, without abolishing the games altogether. Scores Corvaliis Sportsmen.! The Gazette is in receipt of the fol lowing letter from the pen of Oscar Tom, of Angora, Oregon, commenting upon the article concerning Oregon game laws, which recently appeared in this paper: Yonr paper of December 21at; con tained an article from "Taxpayer," which has some good points and some poor ones. . I thiuk most of the game laws should be repealed. In fact, all of them, except those placing a penalty upon the sellffg of elk, deer, or birds in the market or to private parties. As It now Stands, almost everybody violates it and they teacli their children to vio late it. When they want a bird they kill it. If a deer comes along, they kill it too, if they can. If it is an elk the eame rule holds good, and they don't think they ara doing wrong, or any more than anyone else would do, even the justices of; the peace, constables and game wardens at least some of them do the same thing. Those who live where game is plenti ful seldom kill more than they can take care of, and would not destroy it if there were, no game laws. It is the gun clubs or city chaps who do wild shooting and cripple game leaving it to go off and die, who are the worst enemy of the game. Now, about the fish. A few years ago, before the cannery started on the Alsea bay, the Alsea river was full of salmon. I believe I have seen 500 on one riffle at one timpf while now you seldom see more than five or six at most. I think salmon trout 'should be caught whenever anyone wants them, for they are the greatest enemy to the salmon, which they follow and eat the spawn. As to sawdust being injurions to trout, I don't belieye it. It is the everlasting whipping of the rivers with fly hooks. Everything is pulled oat, from an inch long up. Alsea river bas been lined with campers every summer for several years, and all of them had their fishing tackle and a pocket full of fly hooks. So you see trout have gone the same road as the salmon ; been'caught. Fall creek used to be one ot the best for trout. It has no mill on it. Several years ago four men came from Corvaliis. They got here about 9 o'clock one morning. Leaving their team, they took their lunch and fishing tackle and went np the creek about 44 miles and back. They caught over 700 and did not count the small ones. The next day they used bait and caught something over 400 more. They never ate a fish, nor offered me any, as they wanted to taks them to Corvaliis and brag abont them. Fall creek was the place, and they whipped it with tfieir hooks until it was hard to get enough for a mees in a whole day's fishing. Don't forget Nolan & Callahan's LGreat ReductiDn Sale.

"Writing' from Philadelphia, Pa.j under recent date, to a friend in this city, Mrs. E. S. Murray relates some items which will be of interest to - the many Corvaliis friends of . herself and family: ' We are very well pleased with our new location, she writes, and find the people highly cultured, friendly and congenial. Colista is delighted with the Drexel Art Department, Leslie is doing re markably well in the Industrial Art School, and Alpha is attend ing the Belmont school prepara tory to entering the high school. As regards "yours, etc.," there seems to be an abundance of duties to fill all the time not occupied in replenishing spent energies. There is so much of interest to be seen and heard, one could spend many profitable and pleas ant days visiting those old his torical place. The display in the windows of the great depart ment stores is beautiful. Wana- maker's holiday exhibit is really wonderful. One window repre sents life in town. It is all in mlnature. Another represents tne farm yard. Nothing- seems wanting. The sea is represented by seagreen satin, with sailing vessels and beautiful ' fish, as natural as life; high rocks, moss covered bluffs, and so on through all the scenes. "Oar House" Robbed. When Julius Wuestefelt, pro prietor of "Oar House," opened his plaoe f business yesterday morning he discovered that a member of the lightfingered gen try had paid him a visit during the night. The till had been taken from its place and was sitting npon a table, with the drawer removefi and some small change, amounting to three or four dollars missing. Several dollars, wrapped up in a piece of paper, lying In the bottom of the till, was overlooked. In vestigation showed, thai the thief had climbed up On the woodshed in the rear of Greffez's jewelry store. His tracks in the snow on the roof of this buildiHg led to the back of the saloon. The glass transom over the baek door had been left open, aad nothing but a wire screen pre vented entrance to the saloon. This was removed and the in truder crawled inside. Having completed his work, he climbed upon a chair and made his exit through the transom. The woodshed door was opened from the inside, and he passed out into the alley. The thief was thoroughly familiar with the surroundings, and was eyidently no stranger in this locality. Putnam Fadeless Dyes are fast to sunlight, washing and rubbing. Sold by Graham & Wells.
