this timber is going to be in great

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.

be no offense to ride on the side

"Oregon is the - prettiest country
under the sun," said H. E. Work
man, a pioneer citizen of Los An

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."

MR. WAITERS AGAIN.
Leaves the Text Entirely, and Grows
Abusive.
Ha
Editor Gazette: . 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.)
