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

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

course, no democrat can hope to be

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

Tie Corvallis Improvement
Society will Begin the year's '
study and work at the home of I

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 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. " '

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. :

"Mysterious" Billy Smith'former

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

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.
