D. Daly went to Port land, Saturday, to attend some pri vate business, He also visited Ore gon City. C. A. Gerhard, proprietor of the Book Store of this eity, went to PortlanJ, Friday,, to attend some matters of business. Quite a number of young people gathered in Burnett's hall, Friday night, and enjoyed a dance. The festivities closed at 12 o'clock. Mrs. James Martin and son, John, were expected to arrive home, Saturday, from a trip back East. They were absent a month or long-t-r, visiting relatives in Ohio. Had Gabriel's trumpet, sounded last Friday evening not a man, woman or child in Corvallis would have responded to the call, there was such a number of other horns echoing about the city. B. W. Johnson and Robt. John son, who were delegates from the local lodge to the meeting of the Grand Lodge of the Knights of Py thias, which was held in Portland last week, arrived home Friday. William Emory, who recently passed three or four weeks in Ben ton and Linn counties, visiting rel atives and friends, returned to his Lincoln county home last week. His eon, Cecil, was out for a short time, and father and son returned home on foot, as they took a fine milch cow over with them: The law allows hunters to shoot China pheasants until the firet of next'December. During the last fif teen days of November those who kill pheasants will be allowed to sell them. Pheasants have not been so plentiful this year as last, but our sportsmen report pretty good suc cess when in the field. Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Hall drove up from Buona Vista, Friday after noon, and visited relatives and Mewls until Sunday, when they returned home. Harley used to be en enthusiastic football player and he could not Lave been hired to stay away from the football game played Saturday between Willam ette University and O A C boys. A few days ago Dr. N. B. Avery received a letter from William Gird. The latter is now an inmate of the Old Folk'B Home, in East Portland. He wrote quite an interesting letter, giving iniormation regarding the institution where he is staying. He says that the ages of the "old folks" who are now his companions range from 61 to 85 years. This is the place where Adam Baumbarger it- etopptng. Mrs. Anna Clifton and her sister, Mies Margaret Graham, both of Portland, visited at the home of A. Kyle and family last week. Satur day tbey proceeded to Eugene to visit their brother, who is attend ing the university at that city. A week ago Saturday, Mrs. Clifton ar rived in Portland from Dawson, N. W. T., Canada, after an absenee of two years. She did quite well while in the frozen north and was able to get home with some money. On his recent trip to Lake county II. S. Clodfelter located a party of seven on timber claims. J. Wrage, who holds a claim in this belt of timber, states that hi finds that this timber is going to be in great demand in a very short time. He sys that those who hold claims in the vicinity of his will experience no difficulty whatever in securing $2,000 apiece for them. It is un derstood that a number who se cured claims with Mr. Wrage will pool their claims and hold them at $3,000 each. This is certainly good news for Cpryallisites who were for tunate enough to secure timber land in this belt. Our attention has been called to the fact that some of our citizens have been riding their bioycles on the sida walks within the Dast few Av. It cops without savins that they were ignorant of the ordinance regulating this matter, for our cm una in the main are a most law abiding people. We have found that some were under the im pression that thev would be al lowed to ride xn the sidewalks af ter October 1 3t. Such is not the case. After November 1st it will be no offense to ride on the side walks, but there are two streets that riding on sidewalks is strictly nmhihiti! at all ti.nea of the vear Main street and College street o qewaie.

Gerhard and Adelaide Fullington is to be solemnized in the near future. An nouncement was made from the pulpit of the' Catholic church Sun day morning. The O AC football team, .and a number of supporters, leave Thurs day for Seattle, when they play University of Washington, next aturday. A close game is expect- d, but the farmers are looked upon as winners. William Van Gross and Thomas Bilyeu, members of the '02 gradua ting class of O A C, left Thursday for California where tbey intend entering the University of Califor nia. The former will take a liter ary course, while Thomas will give his attention to mining engineering. In our last issue we advertised for the owner of 33 sheep that had strayed onto thV place of R. L. Buchanan, south of town about twelve miles. Since then Joe Mc- Bee went and got the sheep, as they were his. Mr. McBee had placed the animals on the island and was not aware that they had strayed from thir pasture. Four weeks ago yesterday, while assisting to paint the roof of the new residence of George F. Kice, A. M. Maxheld slipped off the roof and badly sprained his left ankle. A board slipped, giving him a fall of about twelve feet. He managed to maintain his balance and landed feet down, otherwise the result might have been far more serious. Happening as it did it was bad enough, for Mr. Maxfield is still obliged to use crutches to hobble about. "Oregon is the - prettiest country under the sun," said H. E. Work man, a pioneer citizen of Los An geles, to a Portland Telegram rep resentative recently. "With us, when we want a pretty park we have to irrigate it and take care of it, and so pretty places are natural ly limited in their extent. With you the entire country is lovely, and it costs you nothing to keep it so. It's the natural result of abun dant rains and rich soil. If I were 20 years younger I would come to Oregon to live, but I'm too old to make such a change now." An accident, which, fortunately, did not result in loss of life, occurr ed last week on Digger Mountain in Alsea. Mr. and Mrs. Mangle were on their way from the lower valley by team, and were at a very narrow place on the mountain road, when one of the horses shied, throw ing the other over the embankment, and the whole outfit, plunged forty feet to the bottom of the canyon. Mrs. Mangle was walking at the time, and her huBband jumped from the wagon, so neither was in jured. The horses, by some mira cle, escaped unhurt, and they -were brought up to the road again with block and tackle. The wagon was more or less damaged. Experimental Hatchery. Aa experiment is in progress in the way of hatching salmon on the Big Elk, a stream that flows into the Yaquina river at Elk City. Should this prove a success and result in the estab lishment of a permanent hatch ery it would beyond doubt prove a splendid thing for the coun try. The following is from the Toledo Reporter: One new industry has been ad ded: the state fish commissioner has just put in an experimental salmon hatchery on the Big Elk, three miles above its junction with the Yaquina. About $i, ooo have been expended in labor and material to get the plant in shape for business, and now the process ot natcning the eggs is going on. They have now ob tained one .hundred and fifty thousand eggs. They hope to obtain from 3,000,000 to 4,000,- POQ eggs. Should this year's experiment prove satisfactory, a permanent plant will be put in which will require an outlay of about $10,000. This hatchery if successful will be ot untold ben efit to Yaquina Bay. With arti ficial incubation these waters can be filled with the finest fish in the world. SIXTY-SEVEN T0.N0TKING. Tfce Farmers 0e tke Seasoa fcy Eadly - Defeat 12 tke Missionaries Who Con . . tested Stafiboraly. .. ..Sixty-seven to nothing. That is the defeat which the sons of old Willamette struggled desper ately" to avert, and which the sturdy farmers of O A C, merer lessly administered, in the open ing game of the inter-collegiate series on Agricultural College field last Saturday afternoon. The recent showers had moist ened the field, and it was as smooth and fast as a race course. No breeze was stirring, but the sun's rays gave just warmin 1. enough for comfort. When the referree's whistle signalled open ing of the game, the grandstand was well-filled witn anxious spec tators, while those who wished more room in which to give vent to their .feelinss. crowded the sidelines. Game was called at 2 US. with O A C defending; the north goal. Nash kicked off. the ball sink ing Salem's goal post and bounc ing back five yards. It was car ried in five yards, and the teams lined up for the first scrimmage with the ball in Salem's posses sion on her 10-yard line. The first play was directed against the fanner's nght tackle, lor a gain of five yards. Old Willamette was quick in formation and the spectators looked tor a snappy game. The same place was tried again for no gain, and a third attempt resulted in a loss of yardage. The farmers had settled down to business. Salem punted to Nash who brought the ball back five yards. U A tried the line for no tain. A second attempt netted three yards, and Abraham picked up two yards more. He was given the ball again, and distinguished himself by a beautiful plunge of 10 ya- s. Gault followed suit with 5 xrds, and Williams was sent th jgh tackle for 5 more. The li. and i 5 the ne sent thr was tried for 3 yards rd, and Salem held on down. Abraham was ugh for 2 yards. The ball was on Salem's 10-yard line and Laughlin called on Abraham. He brought the grandstand to their feet, by carrying the ball and half the Salem team over for touch down. Pilkington kick ed goal. Score O A C, 6; Sa- em, o. Time 4 minutes. On the kickoff, Salem sent the ball over the goal line, and it was given to the farmers on their 25-yard line for a tree- kickr Nash kicked to center, and Salem ran in 3 3'ards. Two end runs netted 7 yards, and the line was hit for no gain. A line buck for 1 yard, and a try at tackle for 4 yards, made good Salem's yardage, but the next three plays yielded only 1 yard of territory and the ball went to the farmers on their 40-yard line. Root rounded the end for 40 yards, and added 5 through tackle. Williams went around the end for 10 yards. Two line plunges brought the pigskin 3 yards nearer Willamettes' goal. Williams took the ball 7 yards, and Root was downed for no gain. O. A. C. fumbled on the next play, but retained the ball. Williams then skirted the end or a touch down. Pilkington missed goal. Score, O. A. C, 1 1 ; Salem, o. Time 10 minutes. Willamette kicked to Nash who made a sensational run of 50 yards. Root tried end for one yard,, and through tackle for 5 more. Pilkington earned the ball 5 yards, and Williams ad ded ten. The line was tried for no gain. The halves skirted the ends for 5 and 15 yards, and again for a touch down. Goal was missed, bcore, O A 10; Salem, o. Time, 4 minutes. Root received the kickoff on the farmer's 10-yard line, and ran m is varus, uauir. wenx through far 4 yards, and Pilking ton added 12 yards. Root skirt ed the end for 14 yards; Abra ham plunged for 7, and Williams went ar ind for 5 and again lor 4 yards The line was tried for 1 yard ai Williams skirted the end lor 25 y- ;ds and a ouch down. Pilkingion kicked goal. Score, OAC, 22: Salem, o. Time, 3j minutes. Salem kicked to Gellatly, who ran in 20 yaras. a line duck 1 netted a yard, Root ran the end for 20 yards. Williams did the same for 7, and Abraham went through for 3 yards; Williams made a beautiful run of 45 yards to a - touch down. Pilkington kicked goal.. Score, OAC, 28; Salem, o. Time, 2 minutes. Nash got the ball from kickofl, and aided by splendid interfer- a nee. ran 7 V yards, lime was called as the team lined up. , In the first half not one min ute was taken out for injuries, discussion of rules, or for any other cause. " This 'shows the clean-character ot the game, and the splendid condition - of the players in both teamsfiT. " LaugHin r opened1 the second half by running iff the kickeft 40 yards. Williams, Root, Pilk insrton. Nash, and Gault made runs of, from 12 to 75 yards, and these interspersed with occa sional line bucks,', added touch downs until the score at the con clusion of the game stood, O A C, 67; Salem, o. - ; In this half O A C was penal ized 2 5 yards for ofiside play, and lost the ball to. ; Willamette twice on fumbles, but the farm er's line was impregnablev and the ends were there every time. The latter part of : the' half, nu merous O A C subs- took the place f first team r" men, to give them experience. ' Ilose and Al len went in as halves, Bower at tackle, Thorp at" end, and Rine hart at quarter, and they all dis tinguished themselves. Just be fore the half closed Allen made a pretty run of 50 yard and time was called with the ball on Sa lem's 40-yard line but in the farmer's posession. - - T The average spectator sees on ly the spectacular plays of the man who carries the ;balL but a great portion of the credit in Sat urday's game is due the line, which held until interference could be formed, and to those who formed the interference. The team work put -up by the farmers, Saturday, was the pret tiest and their play" the fastest ever seen on the local field. Wil lamette need not feel, chagrined at her overwhelming fleteat, for O A C is apt to administer the same medicine to other oppo nents this season." THE LINE Corvallis.

Your article of the i7th inst, is composed largelyof misstate - mcnts, And to prove to yiar readers, what I know to be a fact, that you are knowingly misrepresenting me, I will re fer to one matter that they, if disposed, may examine for themselves. I quote from my article in the Gazette of iOth inst., this statement : "At the session of the Oregon legisla ture, 19O1 (See Session Laws, page 243), there was passed a law making it manda tory for the assessor of each county in the state to provide himself with just such books as are now under discussion. Assessor Bosh has at diff arent times ask ed the court to provide him with such books and .maps." - You reply to the above in the follow ing language (See Gazette Oct. nth) "Mr. Watters calls our attention to page 243 of the session laws of 19O1. But the only thing to be found there touching the matter in baud, is evidence thai the county court has no authority to have anything to do with making assessments, listing property or collecting taxes, a function which Mr. Watters' article im plies the present court is trying to as sume." Ou said pane 243 of said session laws of i90i (above referred to), is the following : ".Sec. 2762 The assessor of each coun ty shall make a plat of the government surveys and all town plats within his county, and shall note therein the owner of each tract of land, and of each town lot," etc. Assessor Bush instead of mak ing such plats and maps at great ex pens?, asked the court to provide him with them. By posting the present own er books and maps in the recorder's office only on the first day of March each year, the making of such maps and. plats for the assessor could be avoided (with one exception, a map of Corvallis) aad he be supplied with the proper records for a correct assessment of Benton county : and that, too, with but little or no incon venience to the public, statements to the contrary notwithstanding. The, mem bers of the court - unanimously agreed that it was the proper thing to do, and for this and other equally good reasons made the order accordingly. You also state that I established the custom of keeping up the present owner books. I would call your attention to the tact that I was recorder of Benton county and not a member of the court when the custom was established. The custom was established by the county court and has been discontinued by the county court. Should the present co-art re-establish the custom and pay the re corder J iO per month for keeping up the books, would the Gazette censure the recorder or the court? I do not believe it would do either, but should ii ever re fer to the matter it would cast all blame upon the judge of said court. - I will not waste time nor words to ex plain all of the misrepresentations for I do not expect yon to willingly admit the truth of anything I may say. It is your intention to misrepresent me at all times, j as yea have in the past and just as you did 01 one certain occasion, of which yon have a very distinct recollection. Those of your readers who desire , to know of a case in which you misrepresented - me and subsequently admitted that you told falsehoods about me and that you knew you -were teDrajr; falsehoods when yon were making the statements, can' get ab solute evidence of the same by calling at my office where documentary evidence will be cheerfully laid before them. :. - Yours truly, J -S ! . : VlBGII E. WaTTBKS. : (Since Mr. Watters is disposed to be so contentions, the Gazette will ask the in dalgencB of its readers next issue, when it will lead that gentleman back to a con sideration of onr articles of the 7th and x4th lost, which remain unanswered. We nave given him ample space to correct any misstatements we may have made, and be has chosen to abuse the privilege by indulging: i& personalities. If we have misstated the facts in any particular, Mr. Watters has failed show it. If we have published what the records contain, he should have no cause for complaint, and they should ha such that their publicity would make 00 capital against him: As for any documentary evidence he may possess affecting the Gazette or any persop connected with it, he is at liberty to give it to the public, and the columns ot the Gazette are open for that purpose.)
