The basket social held at.Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Healy's ome, Friday evening, under the auspices of the Baptist church, was a success in every way despite the stormy weather. The proceeds of the social amounted to $22, which was much better than was expected. F:oca various parts of the state tber is the cry that school teachers are scarce. While we have plenty of teachers to instruct the rising generation, we cannot say that we have any schoolma'ams to spare. It begins to look as though teachers had a chance of receiving a little more money for their services in the future. Benton county has no jail bird at present. The last inmate of the county jbastile was D. 3. Yergin, who was brought here from Lincoln county and who was found to be innocent of the charge against him. The last one we have had that we could call our own was Charles Thomas, who was apprehended for past-ing forged checks . and given two years in the pen. He received sentence at the last April term of the circuit court for this county. A. A. McCleary, who has been sell ing fish in this section during the fll, baa about concluded his busi ness for this season and expects to leave for his Alsea home today or tomorrow. He says this was the most profitable season be has ever experienced since lie began selling fish in this city. During the last few days he was here he took orders for barreled salmon. Mr. McCleary states that during the fall his giU netters secured a salmon that had bean tagged. It carried the letter "W" and the supposition is that it was from the salmon hatchery at Oregon City. Speaking of salmon protection, Mr. McCleary advanced the opinion that to protect these fish it would be a good idea to cease protection of trout. He Bays that as fast as salmon spawn, trout follow up and feed on the eggs. It is no uncommon thing to observe trout Every little while one hears ru mors of a gold mine having been located not far from this city. This is all very well, but it is about as hard to locate the man who found it as it would be to find said gold mine. We have, just heard rumors of another discovery. Horsefall and Kisor continue to operate their cider factory in this city. So far they have not been able to secure as many apples as they coul J handle in their business, but this has naught to do with the quality of their product, which is first-class from every standpoint Notwithstanding the fact that wild geese are reported to be a trifle "shy 7 this season, Alex Ken me and Trank Lilly are said to have bad ti t i i especially good iuck wmie goose hunting, bunday. According to re port, they killed eighteen geese'on thw occasion. Thev were hunting on the Buchanan place south of this city some ten or twelve .miles. Bruce Burnett, who is coaching the Monmouth football team, came home Sunday for a shert visit. Bruce has certainly done good work with the boys during the short time he has coached them, for in the game between' . Albany and Monmouth last Saturday, the Mon mouth lads held Albany down to a score of 15 to b. Although the game went against Monmouth, the football devotees of that institu tion look upon it as a victory. Tuesday evening- Capt. Henry Nice, of Lutjens, was a homeward passenger on bis return from a bus iness trip to Portland. Capt. Nice is the proprietor of 1,400 acres of fine land on Alsea bay which he is offering in small lots at attractive figures. His are among the best stock ranches in the country and he will probably not wait long for buy ers. Uaptaia ruce says that the salmon mn on the Alsea is one of the lightest on record. Toledo" Re porter. Here is an example of what may be accomplished in the way of profit off of Oregon soil if intelligent methods are employed: Wesley Millhollen owns 30 acres of land just east of Corvallis. A portion of the property is set to fruit trees. During the past season . Mr. Mill hollen has cleared $b?U on of the fruit he has dried. .'While wheat is bringing a higher price - this fall than it has in ' years, the profits from 30 acres of this grain would be far short of $670. Governor Geer.1 has Vlssued his Thanksgiving proclamation, from which the following is an extract: The people of Oregon have ; many reasons to be -thankful. - The recurring ' seasons have, brought their abundant harvests; ho epi demics have visited them; labor has been employed in all lines of busi ness at an advanced rate of remu neration; the Btate schools have been liberally patronized, and sup ported, while intelligence and pros perity go hand in hand, rapidly pushing our commonwealth to the forefront among the older states of the Union. ' " - ? The department of music at the; O. A. C. is showing a most healthy growth. There are now forty or more pupils enrolled and in nearly every instance they are earnest and conscientious in their studies, and are making good progress. Ar-i rangements have been made where by pianos are placed at the disposal of students .who stop at the dormi tories. Too much credit cannot-be given Mordaunt Goodnough, direct or of music,? for his efforts in be half of his department. - Moreover, Coach Hcrbold's Proteges Kept theVar . . sity Hustling to Escape Defeat. The fanner lads wrested ' vic tory from the dudes on Agricul tural college field . last Saturday afternoon, but its fruit was ashes.

A ne ,-. agrics beat -t with - intense eagerness against the varsity's defense with the goal almost within reach, but they were met with a desperate resistance which could not. be overcome. Supporters of the college prayed for 'time while the followers of the U. of O. anxiously hoped for the end. More exciting games have been witnessed on the local field, but none so intense. Barring Root s brilliant dash for 20 yards in the second half there was nothing to set ; throats and arms to but the constant suspense was a strain on the nerves. . . ,. J.t no time was the - farmers goal in danger. The nearest the varsity ever had the ball to its opponent's goal was just" after the kickoff in the second half when they come into possession of the ball on the farmers 23- vard line.

Again the ball vas brought back to the 'varsity's 10-vard line, and Tern plttoa was- caught with the ball when he attempted to again punt out of danger. O. A. C. was pen alized 5-yards for offside play. A few moments later the farmers were set back another five yards because the grand-stand indulged in a little coaching. - Considering the sloppy condi tion of the field, the defensive workof.both teams was brilliant. nd runs were attempted with ittle success, and the farmers re sorted to line bucks and tandem charges, which yielded from one to three yards but made progress very slow. After their spurt at the ODening of the game the dudes could do nothing in offen sive play aud invariably resorted to punting on the first down. he farmers handled the ball far better than their opponents. he 'varsity fumbled five, times rduring .the game, aa4 four -times a farmer was . there to lall on the ball. Nash, the agrics crack full back, was unable to enter the game, and Pilkington was taken from tackle to fill this position.- His work was of the most brilliant order and showed him to be one of the", greatest players on the coast. THE GAME. The 'varsity defended the north goal. Pilkington kicked off to her 15-yard line and the ball was brought back 5 yards. Goodrich was sent around the end for 4 yards.

Good rich went through right tackle for 4 yards. The end was tried for 2 yards. The next three at tempts yielded but T yard and it was the farmers' ball. Here they began a series of line bucks and tackle plays that left the ball "in their possession- for 14 downs, when it went to the 'varsity on her 45 yard line. She tried the end for no gain and fumbled on the; next play, a farmer falling on the ball. Root tried the end for i yard, and Pilkington hit the Hire for four.

Pilking ton punted to Pavne who return ed it. Three plavs netted the armers 7 yards, and Pilkington punted to TJ of O's 7-yard line. , The basket sociable given by the papils of Mountain View school last Friday evening was a success in every sense of the word. The night waa a very stormy one. The wind' and the rain that had been continuing all day and daring the nieht prevented many from attending. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather a large number of school patrons and neighboring friends assembled, Those-present "were, fully paid for their time and trouble. The . program which lasted over an hoar was well, rendered. The pupils, from . the smallest, to the largest, gave an excellent account of themselves. . The program which in eluded recitations, dialogues and other features was highly enjoyed by all. Snpt Dsnman addressed the patrons for a Bhort time. ; He urged them to take a keener interest in their school J appealed to the farmers to support and increase tfie efficiency of the country school. He showed them the relation 'existing be tween their school and their; homes and their work, and the need of loyally sup porting every . educational movement. After the program, the baskets were auctioned off by Mr. Denman; v The nice sum of $15 was realized. This" is to be invested' in a school library. .-The teach er, Miss Crystal Miner, deserves much praise and credit for the success. of the meeting.

Notwithstanding the large number extra seats provided, the opera house was literally . packed -oatur day night to. see the production of" the farce-comedy "Troubles of a Married Man." It is no exaggera tion to say that, very few profes sional companies that play in Cor vallis give such pleasing and artis tic performances as those presented by this local organization. ? Mrs. B. W.
