Rose is offering his place near Chitwood- for sale. It comprises 164 acres, and there is a dwelling house, barn, farming im plements, team, etc., which go with it. His reason for selling is "lm portant Business interests impera tively calling him elsewhere." A half-tone of the Agricultural College campus and its many build ings, accompained by a two-column write-up of the history of the in stitution and its present work, by AUice M. Wells, appears in Fri day's Portland Telegram. It is an able and interesting article. Mr. and Mrs. M.

Kola Neis, a S.i em hop buyer, estimates that only 15,000 bales of Oregon hops remain unsold. T. A. Liveslay, who is both a grower and a dealer, makes the same estimate. Mr. Neis says that, though some hops have sold as low as 8 cents per pound, he believes the entire Oregon . product will average 10 cents per pound to the grower. The crop will amount to 65,000 bales, or 11,700,000 pounds. At 10 cents per pound, the crop will bring $1,170,000. A long article in Saturday's Ore- gonian, discussing possible demo cratic candidates for the various state offices in the coming spring campaign, mentions Judge W. S. McFadden, of this city, as a likely candidate for supreme judge. Of course, no democrat can hope to be elected to a state office in Oregon, but if Judge McFadden receives his party's nomination for supreme udge, his opponent will nave a hard fight for election. In the contest in attendance be tween the sohools of the eounty for the banner of attendance district No. 15 wins the banner with a per fect attendance. A number of other districts were a close second. The record made this month shows a marked improvement in attend ance. Ihe per cent of attendance made by each district is as follows: District No. 15, 100; 21,98:97,97: 50, 97; 78, 96; 45, 96; 19, 96; 49, 95; 29, 93; 1, 92; 25, 88; 23, 84; 8, 63; 02, 75; 48, 74; 5, 40. At a special meeting held Satur day, the stock holders of the Wil lamette Valley Prune Association decided without a dissenting voice to stand by the association priee of 5 cents for 40s in 25- pound boxes. This is at the rate of 44 eents for the Bame size in bags, and, as every body knows, is far above present quotations. The top price now is 3 cents, with 3 cents more fre quently effered. As stated in our last issue, " the only bid offered for construction of the Lee-Nolan-Davis-Hyland sewer was that of J. R. Smith & Co. The sewer committee, to whom the matter was referred, have awarded the contiact to this firm and work will commence atonce. The length of the sewer will be 400 feet and the contract pri?e is $448.75, or a trifle c-er $1.12 per foot. The cost of running the laterals across streets, 100 feet, will be borne by the city. Whether or not the city will also stand the expense of $50 for the two catch basing and the manhloe, will be determined by the committee appointed to assess dam ages. . - "" ; . Hon. John Whitaker and wife of Corvallis came over last Wednes day and remained over night, the guests of ye editor and family. Mrs Whitaker came to consult Dr Ramsey as to her condition and after an examination the decided to return later on. for treatment Some eighteen months ago Mrs Whitaker underwent an operation at St Josephs hospital fat Portland and a large tumor was successfully removed from the abdomen, and after recovery Ehe returned to her home apparently well, with the ex ception of her left limb, which has continued to refuse to Bupport her body, due probably to some injury to the nerves. After examination Dr. Ramsey informed her that as it bad gone so long it would probably take some time to successfully treat her case, and so she decided to return home and come back later and remain for treatment. Peoples rtea. VICTORY fOR PACIFIC. Although Defeated, the Farmers Played a Good Steady Gamo. Although defeated by a score of 17 to 0 iu its game Saturday with Pacific univer sity, supporters of the O A O team are well pleased with the showing made by the farmer lads. With the exception of U. of O. the Pacific .eleven is probably the strongest aggregation representing any of the Oregon educational institu tions. They play a fast, snappy, clean Same. A. number of their players are men of several years experience on the gridiron; and for the past two raonlhs they have been working hard ncder the excellent coaching of McFadden, who played end onjlast year's Stanford elev- As a result their team work is ex cellent, and every man is in superb phys ical condition. The local team is composed almost en tirely of freshmeu. Tbey have been or ganized scarcely more than a month and have had no coaching except what Man ager Gault has been able to give, while playing a position en the team. They have had but one other game, that with Albany, , in which to gain experience, but their defensive work, especially in the Inst fifteen minul.ee of the gam9, was beautiful. Their great weakness is in offensive play. Thiir team' work is ragged, and their interference weak and slow in forming . v This, of coarse, is due to in experience aid lack of practice, hut the advantage it gives their opponents is very decided. During the entire game, the farmer's had the ball in their poses- sion not to exceed ten minutes, yet they held the university down to two touch downs inthe first hall, and one in the last 25 minutes of the game. Time and again O A O held the visitors for yard age, only to lose the ball on a fumble, or be compelled to kick on the second down. The game was clean and excit ing, and neither side made use of a substitute. Pacific kicked off to Captain Gault who ran in 20 yards. The ball was ad vanced 15 yards by hammering the line and then punted into Pacific territory. The visitors tried the farmers lino, but found it impregnable. Then Bay found bole between tackle and end and plunged down the field for forty yards. With the ball on O A C's 6-yard line, Millis was sent around the end for the first touch down, after 12 minutes of play. He failed to convert it into a goal, and the score stood, P. TJ., 5; O. A. C., 0. After ten minutes more of fast work in which Captain Bay was sent against tackle for certain gains, and short runs were added by Millis, a second touch down was scored; goal was kicked. Score, P- TJ., 11 ; O. A. C, 0. The farmers kicked to P. U.'s 20-yard line, aud succeeded in stopping the vis itors who had advanced the ball by ram ming, to the center of the field. Wil liams pluaged through P. U.'s line and made a sensational (run of 40 yards. Time was called, with the ball in the farmers' possession on Pacific's 10-yard line. , The Stanford system of playing by series, disconcerted the home team, who had been' used to heating- signals before the ball was put in play, and they were slow in tackling in the first half. During the latter part of the game, however. they watched the ball and ' moved when it was put in play. As a result the last half was a pretty exhibition of football. A short kickoff, which was well han dled, left the ball in Pacific's possession almost in the center of the field for the first down at the opening of the second half, and in 11 minutes Bryant was sent over for the last touchdown, after a hard struggle. Millis kicked a difficult goal Score, P TJ, 17; O A C, 0 The farmers seemed to tain rather than lose heart and their tackling was desper ate. P TJ could get the .ball to the ten yard line, but the farmers . would secure possession of it and punt oat of danger, and it was a see saw between center and OA C's ten-yard line during the re mainder of the half. Butter Factory. Corvallis is not experiencing a boom. fche has learned the tal acy of attempting to grow in this way. But she is daily add ing to her population; rents are gradually on the increase; prop erty ' values are slowly rising, and the number of her business houses is being constantly added to. So substantial is this present growth, our citizens have scarce ly realized that it is in operation. Not the least of the new enter prises set on foot is tne cream ery which, as the Gazette in formed its readers early last week, will be opened December 1st by H. W. Kaupisch, former ly manager of the skimming sta tion in this city. ine wautnorn warehouse on river street, between the Central Planing Mills and the O. R. & N. dock, is . being prepared to receive the machinery for the making ot butter, . which arrived last week. This machinery was purchased from a Halsey firm wnicn put a creamerv in opera tion some two years ago, but failed to succeed. It is of late design and the new plant will be up to date in all particulars, Its capacity will be in the neigh borhood-of 200 pounds of butter per day. - . -y--:--: v mr. is.au piscu win own ana control the plant. . He, has had mucn practical experience in butter making and patrons may expect a first class product As this is a purely local enterprise, the money which it earns re maining in the community, . it will receive the .support and pat ronage of Corvallis and Benton county. Begins This Evening. Tie Corvallis Improvement Society will Begin the year's ' study and work at the home of I Mrs. Judge Woodward Tuesday j eveningt November 19, at 7:45. ' All interested are cordially in- ' vited to be present. The Meet ings will be held every month at the homes of the different mem bers when convenient to do so. The subjects to be considered at the first meeting will be the farther beautifying of our public school grounds, and the making more attractive - those desolate ports of entry to country towns, the railway depots. The possibility of making one of our streets, for a number of blocks, into a Park street, will be simply touched upon as a subject for thought and discus sion at the next meeting in De cember. " ' Membership lee in this associ ation is fifty cents per year, to be expended in improvements by vote of the members. The society also wishes to acknowledge the .kindly aid given by Mr. Miller in planting out trees furnished by it", to the Public seheol grounds, also for staking and painting the same; for paint donated by the firm of Wade & Co. 'and to Misses Hol- gatc and Jacobs for aid given in typewriting. ' Play U of O SatKrday. Clyde Payne, assistant man ager of TJ O football team, announced yesterday that arrangements had been completed for a game between the TJ O second team and the O A C team, to be played at Corvallis on Saturday,, November 23. The second team has been faithful this year, receiving the brunts and. bruises inflicted by the 'varsity eleven. Therefore the manage ment has been very anxious to ar range a game for this deserving eleven. The second team this year is by no means weak. The team that played against the High School last Saturday was not the regular second team; it was composed of a few second team men, the other be ing new and inexperienced players. witn prospects ol a sure game the boys will work hard and give the Agrics a better contest than is looked for. Guard. : Additional Local. The Black Cat.' Prof. A. Klingemann, Corvallis, Oregon, will teach German, in a town, community or .family. A fine all wool black clay worsted dress suit gool weight and silk sewed for $10 at Klines. Now is the season of the year when every bicyclist needs a mud guard for his wheel. Dilley "the fixer", has them, in all makes. Get one early. They don't cost much . An illustrated article from the pen of Dennis Stovall, is given an entire page in baturday's Portland Telegram. It is gratifying to observe boys, who are denied recog nition in their childhood's . home, mount the ladder of success when they get among strangers. "Mysterious" Billy Smith'former welter weight champion, had 'some rough treatment last week in a Portland saloon. He was set upon by six men armed with iron Tods, but managed to elude them unarm ed. , Some years ago Smith had an experience somewhat similar in the old Mattox saloon in this city. The Fischer VanCleve company closed a successful week's engage ment Saturday night with a credit- able performance of "East Lynn." Many good things have been said by the press of thejstate concerning the "Lady Isabel" of Miss Babe Fischer, but she deserves them all. Her portrayal of the' dual character of "Lady Isabel" and "Madarhe Vine" is remarkable considering her years. Tne other members of the cast were acceptable. A feature of the various performances was the excellent music by the company's orchestra. Steps are being taken to place a championship eleven from the O A C in the field next season. The present team contains some brilliant individual .players and much promising material is to be found in the college. " The business men are manifesting an interest andtheir support means much to any enter prize in' which the college may en- 8. A hrst-class coach will be secured early in the season.' and games will be arranged 'with Washington and California univer sity teams. If the student body will elect some rustling wide awake student, like J. D. Zurcher, : as manager tney will receive hearty co-operation from the citizens of Corvallis, and make a record in athletics of which the college may xeei ppua. Spoke en -Foreign Missions.

D., field secretary of the foreign mis sion board of the Presbyterian church, lectured Tuesday night to a good sized and very atten tive audience at the Presbyterian chnrch in this city, o.i the rise and projjToss of the work of thv board which he represents.
