In his annual report, Game and Forestry Warden Quimby, says that owing to the protection afford ed of late, deer and elk are increas ing in Oregon. During the past year 600 deer hide tags were issued. but not more than 50 per cent, of them were used. A carload of goods arrived, Fri day night, from the East, contain ing the household enects and other chattels of Mr. P. A. Kline, who re cently came to our community to reside. Our people unite in speak ing of Mr. Kline as the kind of man to help up-buud the country. The question of providing for the tax levy for the scalp fund has claimed the attention of the various county courts of late. Multnomah and one or two other counties have failed to make any provision for the payment of the bounty. The judge of Multnomah 'county held that there was no Jaw to compel the county to fix a tax levy for this purpose. How many people in Corval lis, or Benton county for tfcat matter, know how much land belonging to the Agricultural College adjoins the City ot Cor vallis? Business men, and even members of the board ot regents, have Dleaded ignorance ot the exact figures when the question was put to them oaring the past few days as to the number o acres in the college farm. About a week ago a stranger in the city, making investigation for the 'purpose of determining whether to locate here and send his children to school, asked numerous questions concerning the college. One man told him the school was under the domi nation of the Southern MethoA ist church, and 50 acres was the extent of its land holdings m Benton county. The pamphlet issued by the Omens' Ieague says 275 acres; quite a discrepancy. The Gazette man has looked over the records in the office, ot the countv recorder, and these seem to show that the college property adioining Corvallis comprises 100.9 acres. i.ne catalogue issued by the college states that its grouads comprise 198.91 acres. The question arises, wnat are tne Correct ng-ures. It is quite probable that there is a general lack of knowledge on matters relating to the college. There is one simple way to cor rect this condition of affairs, and place the people of this county in a position to enlighten strang ers concerning our great institu tion of learning: A neat adver tisetnent, containing facts and figures relating to the college, concisely compiled, and made to appear in the columns of the lo cal papers every month of the year. Such data would make inter esting reading for subscribers in other portions of the couatrv who anticipate moving to Cor vallis to take advantage of the opportunities offered by the college. Bev."W. C. Kantner, of Salem officia ting. A very . delightful company of friends was present to witness the cere mony and ea joy the festivities of the oc casion.

Friday night there was joint in stallation of officers of the A O U W and the Degree of Honor. The hall was well filled with invited o-uests and there was a program of some duration aside from the work of installing the new officers. There was a violin solo by Victor spencer, and some club swinging by four little youngsters, and ;the children reallv did well. There was a ban quet at the close of the evening and everybody speaks highly 01 tneir entertainmeiit. At the opening of the second term at the college, a weefc ago yesierday, there were 407 pupils. Bv the end of the week the figure J - ... was 449. At the close 01 last term there were 432 students enrolled at the college, so that it will be seen Viot Viw lost FriHav there was a gain of 17 students. This does not include the dudiIs registered in tne music department; including music atnlpnts there were 462. This number will undoubtedly be great ly increased before long. The revival at the United Evan gelical church has increased in in terest from nieH to niffht. Large crowds have attended the services and the main part of the church has been filled .

Peavey, of Minneap olis, and among them we find the sum of $2 ,000 bequeathed to N.. P. Peterson, ot this city. Before coming to Corvallis last fall Lir. Peterson had been in the employ of Mr. Peavey for nearly eighteen vears. Me is one of the several hundred who hive been remembered by the great financier. More than this, Mr. Peavey provided in his will that every employe who has been in the service of his firm for three years shall receive a month's pay, and the executors are in structed to retain the old em ployes and to care for them after they are too old to work. Mr. Peavey was one of the most remarkable and command ing figures in the Northwest, and the most admirable charac ter in the world of finance. He was born in Eastport, Maine, January 18, 1850, and died in Chicago, December 30, 1901. Left fatherless at the age of 9 vears, ha began his business ca reer as a newsbov. Bv dint of hard work and conscientious, righteous effort he amassed a for tune and attained a position in the very front rank of business men. He was the head of the most extensive grain elevator system in the world, and carried the largest life insurance policy ever written. His life should be an inspiration to every young man who is carving nis way alone, and his example might be emulated with profit by the Car negies and Morgans of finance. A few months beiore Mr. rea vey was stricken with the attack of pneumonia which resulted in his death, Mr. Peterson entered into correspondence with the great financier, his purpose be ing to get Mr. Peavey to pur chase a large tract ot the Coe lands in Lincoln county. In re ply Mr. Peavey stated that he appreciated the opportunity of fered for an excellent investment, but he had let contracts lor the building of a line of steamships and made other investments which would require all the cash he cquld command at present. However, he would bear Mr. Peterson's proposition in mind. Garrow-Emtnett. Mr. W. O. Heckart has just completed a new staircase in his residence on 5th street, and it is as handsome as a piece of parlor furniture. Only Oregon wood has been nsed in its construction and the ornamentation is all hand work. The newel post is made of curley maple and is beautiful in design. The panels are of the same material and finished in the natural wood, as are the balisters. The hand rail and portions of the grill are made of ash and finished to represent antique oak, while the panels under the stairs are given the appearance of mahog any. The staircase rises in a hall of ample dimensions, from which folding doors lead to the parlor, sitting room and dining room. Thse can all be opened, throwing these rooms and the hall all into one. A landing reached by ascending two steps, has a window in front and at the side, making a cosy corner, which looks artistic and inviting. that absence makes the heart grow fond er. The applause began at the first in timation on the part of the wife ot the prosecuted parson that she was an hon est woman and .would have none of the villain, and it continued with scarcely an interruption all through the long and weary separation of the good man and his wife, through the scene at the park where they are aearly reunited, through the biting poverty and bitter woe which is the lot of both, and to the triumphant finish. The play is crowded as full of heart interest as it will hold, but there is room for comedy here and there and the audience was as prodigal of its laughter as it was of its applause. The company which is presenting the play this year is if anything stronger than that of last season. Additional Local. "' Parties were in Corvallis yester day, after a casket for George Rich ardson, who died at his home near Blodgett, Sunday, very suddenly. We Buy and SMI Farms. ' At the residence of Mr. and Mrs. G. S. O. Humbert, Friday evening, the Christian Endeavor society of the Christian church were given a delightful party. Refreshments were served during the' evenine. and there were games, conversation Jewelry Store. and music to enliven the evening. T. W.

Altogether it was a joyous occasion for the thirty odd people assembled. - " "The Village Parson.'

Last Saturday evening Mr. Leep er, of Spring Hill, had a runaway near the Smith place south of town, and came to town to get a vehicle to bring in what was left of the wreck. Sunday morning, M. D.

His team took fright and emulating tha example of Mr. Leeper's thor oughbreds, proceeded to demolish things. Mr. Fruit suffered a badly sprained thumb, the wagon tongue was broken, and one of the horses was severely cut on a barbed wire tence.
