Asks for Assistance.
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

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.

A Philadelphia Letter.
"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.
