What H. H.' Easier, Editor of The Lyons,
Nebraska, Sun Thinks of Webfoot.
In the early fall Mr. H. H.
Basler, editor of the Weekly Sun
of Lyons, Nebraska, visited this
city on his tour of the Pacific
Northwest. He is an intimate
friend of W. Davis and N. P.
Peterson and their families, re
cent arrivals who are now looked
upon as fixtures in our city. Mr.
Basler is a very intelligent gen
tleman and is publishing an ac
count of his recent trip in his
paper, a copy of which reached
us. The following extract will
prove that he was most favorably
impressed with our ' city and
county and has ably peuned a
true picture ot our country as it
is: ;
At Portland we parted com
pany for a time with the North
ern Pacific and placed ourselves
in the care of the Southern Pa
cific Railway company. Again
we find ourselves fortunate in
that from General Agent Miller
down to the most humble em
ployee with whom we came in"
contact there is a uniformity of
courteous treatment extended as
which made our trip .one of great
pleasure. -This road from Port
land south throagh Oregon tra
verses one of the most fertile re
gions, of the west, if ndt in the
world. We traveled on the
main line as; far south as Albany
and then took the Cortallis &
Eastern Railway to Corvallis,
our objective point in this direc
tion. It is here that oar friends
and former townspeople, the
families of. W. G. Davis and N.
P. Peterson are located and we'
had the honor of being their
guests during our stay. Benton
county, of which Corvallis is the
capital, is situated in the heart
of the far famed fertile valley of
the Willamette. This country
is famous for its magnificent cli
mate, extensive and varied fruit
interests, bountifal ' w&2at crops
(from whicft cereal one of the
local Corvallis millers produces
flour which has twice taken the
silver medal at world's exposi
tions) and stock raising is also a
prominent- industry. We feel
inadequate to the task of review
ing these features as our stay was
rather brief. The climate in
early September was ideal. The
air was soft and balmy, neither
to warm nor to cold, and the sun
shone brightly for the most part
and : everything appeared as
bright as an October day in Ne
braska. This : being " near the
closa of the dry season the roads
were rather custy lor pleasure
driving," We took two drives in
the c&untry while there, with
Messers. Davis and Peterson and
their families, and to say we en
joyed it is to draw it very mild.

urged accidental shooting.
Readers of this paper are farni-

at that time. Numerous wit

sides, and all day Wednesday
was consumed ia hearifig the

Salem Went Doya Before Them by a Score
- of Seventeen to Six. .
ThatO A G is the coming
team was demonstrated by the
defeat administered to the sturdy
players from Willamette Univer
sity yesterday. The 'varsity
men were heavier than the farm
ers, and although defeated at the
opening of the second half, they
played with a "never say die"
spirit, until the final whistle. No
cleaner game was ever flayed
ou any field. The impartial rul
ings of the officials, Messrs. Judd,
of Salem, and Bruce Burnett, of
this city, and their evident
knowledge of the game received
the applause of the 500 specta
tors who crowded the sidelines.
Willamette has a team tna will
worry future aspirants tor foot
ball honors, but O A C will set
the pace next season. Captain
Gault did yoemaa setvice. His
plunges were terrific, and netted
from three to " forty yards.
Sweak' tackling and'eharging
at the line kept his name on
every Hp. Nash, Gtllatly, Wilf
Hams, Rose, Laughlin, m fact,
every man on the team played
like a veteran.
THE GAME.
The farmers chose the west coal, and
Salem kicked off to Gault, who ran in 20
yards. The ball was advanced steady to
center by good old football, where it was
lost on a fumble. Salem bit the line for
small gains, and then tried the end for
20 yards. She tried it again, but Nash
caught the runner for a loss. The OAC
line held fast. Then the visitors fast
half skirted the end. Williams at full
fell as he reached to tackle and Salem
had scored the first touchdown. Goal
was kicked. Score, Salem 6; O A G, 0.
Nash kicked to Salem's 20 yard line,
where the ball was downed. The visit
on lost yardage with the ball in their
possession, and Gault's three plunges
netted a touchdowa in two minutes after
the ball left center. Try for goal succeed
ed. Score O A C. 6; Salem, 6.
The farmers worked the ball into Sa
lem's territory and the half ended with
the ball in their possession in the visit
ors 45-yard line.
OAC kicked off at the opening of the
second half and Salem was forced to punt.
Sweak made a brilliant run of 20 yards,
through tackle. The farmers tried the
ends and lost the balLon downs. Salem
was again forced to punt. Gault punted
on the third down and Nash downed his
man on Salem's five yard line. On the
next two downs, the visitors lost yard
age, and then punted. Here Gault
charged through for 20 yards. Sweak
tried the line for ten, and Gault carried
the ball over. - Try for goal failed. O A
Oil; Salem, 6. Williams fumbled the
kickoff. Salem secured it, but fumbled
and OAC gathered lit in . On the sec
ond down Gault broke away and ran
down the field for 40 yards. Here Salem
held things up and secured the ball.
They punted, but Williams caught if fair
and, ran it in 30 yards. Steady plunging
by Sweak . and Gault brought it to Sa
lem's one yard, where a seat fake sent
Gault over for the third touchdown,
Nash kickad goal. Score, OAC, 17 ;
Salem 6. -
Salem kicked well down the field, but
. with threa minutes to play the farmers
had the balf on the visitors' 35-yard line
when the whistle blew.
