A party of six workmen went out

secured twelve members. After
the work of initiation, Tuesday eve

It may bo that oldtimer3 in these
parts have been mistaken in their
calculations that Oregon can hold
her own when it come3 to a matter
of rain. A recent arrival from
Dakota makes sport of us, and says
tha Oregon is a back number com
pared with the place he came from,
and backs his assertion up by "re
lating a personal experience he had
in that state, lie said that one
day before necauie west he had
been to town and was taking an
ernatv GO erallon hogshead back with
h;m. He lived about three miles
from town and when he sot well
started for home rain began to fall
The gentleman wore a very- large
hat and it was so tilted that it
dripped into the hogshead. The
rain came down in such torrents
that the hogshead was fail to over
flowing before he could rpach his
home. When he emptied the hogs
head he found it contained a num
ber of lake trout. This is his prin
cipal reason for comiug to Benton
county.
Sfcerlffs Close Call.
Sheriff Burnett met with an accident
last Wednesday whicB came near land
ing bim in a watery grave. It was nec
essary for hhn to diive several miles
down the Albany road to serve some
papers, and he took advantage of the op
portunity offeredto do a little duck hunt
ing on the trip. After attending to his
-official business, he went over to the
Kiger slough in the hope oi seeing a stray
mallard. The river is high now and that
slough has fifteen or twenty (eet of back
water in ita The sheriff wished to cros?,
but experienced great difficulty in find
ing a way to do so. Finally, he discov
ered a log, the end of which w.is some
twenty feet from the fnrther bank. He
cooned'' along this log, but-, was at a
loss for means to span the remaining
twenty feet of water. A stump which
appeared to be rooted in the muddy bot
tom, stood midway between him and the
bank so he secured a fence rail and
placed one end on the loz and the other
on the stump, intending to cross over
and bridge from the stump to the bank.
Griping his shotgun tightly he started
across the rail, but it broke suddenly
and Sheriff Burnett found himself in
fifteen feet of water weighted down with
heavy clothing, a pair of robber boots
and a belt full of cartridge?. He came
up near the Btnmp, but when he at
tempted to pull himself upon it, it rolled
over upon him. There was so much
small debris that there was no opportu
nity to swim. Alter going down three
or four times he was about to give up the
struggle, when, fortunately, he came up
close enough to the log to take hold of it.
With great effort he pulled himeelf ont of
the water. He rode home in his wet
clothes and is now apparently no woree
off for his th rilling experience . His gun
is still in the bottom of the slough.

Challenged Albany.
In Wednesday's Oregonian ap
peared a challenge from the O
A. C. football team to the-Al
banv aggregation. Following is
a reprint of the statement made
by Manager Charley Johnson and
the challenge to the Albany
eleven: .
"There is no occasion for the
newspapers to talk abo&t " the
statement that the Oregon Agri
cultural College football team
has refused to play Albany Col
lege.; ; There was some talk in
the newspapers for a few days be
fore the Eugene-Corvallis game
that the winner was to play Al
bany the following Saturday.
Also talk to the effect that be
cause Eugene and Albany had
played a tie game, the Agricul
tural College and Albany should
meet last Saturday. With re
spect to either game, Albany
College did not challenge us.
Neither has the Albany manage
ment communicated with me on
the subject of football since the
nth day of last October.
"Now, as to a game with the
Albany College eleven, the Ore
gon Agricullural College team is
now, as it always has been in the
past, ready and willing to make
a game whenever we ; have an
open date. .Our first available
date is the second Saturday after
Thanksgiving, and we hereby
offer to play the Albany College J
team on that date, on Willamette
University field at Salem, the
proceeds of the game, after de
ducting expenses of the game
and teams, to go to Salem chari
ties." ' " .
The challenge mailed by Man
ager. Johnson to the manager, of
the Albany College team, is as
follows:
"The Oregon Agricultural
College eleven hereby challenges
the Albany College team to play
a game of football. We propose
that the game be played on the
second Saturday after Thanks
giving, December 6, 1902, on
Willamette University field, at
Salem, officials to -be Edward
Judd, of Salem, and Mr. Hutch
inson, of the Y. M. U. A. at
Portland, all expenses of the
game, including the expenses of
18 men for each team, to be paid
out of the gate receipts, if any,
to be made up equally by the
contesting teams; all players and
substitutes on each team to be
bona fide students, registered at
their respective institutions at
least 10 days before the date of
this challenge; this proposition
to be accepted by noon Novem
ber 20.
"If this proposition be accepted
duplicate contracts embodying
its terms are to be signed by the
president of each institution, and
the manager of each team, both
teams to be provided with a copy
thereof, duly signed."
An article from Albany in yes
terday's Oregonian, states that
Manager Thompson, of- the Al
bany football team refuses to ac
cept "the challenge of Manager
Johnson, of the O. A. C. eleven,
for these teams to play at Salem
on the sixth of next month.'
Manager Thompson says he is.
willing to play the farmers pro
vided the latter will play at Al
bany. Under the conditions,
this proposition is unfair and un
sportsmanlike. In the first place,
Albany has no field upon which
to play, nor accommodations for
the players or the spectators. It
is all one's life is worth to reach
the "park," and it takes consid
erable assurance to ask a visiting
team to play upon her field.
The advantage of the home
grounds and supporters is con
siderable, and if the Albany ag
gregation have the coloric pedals
they claim to have, and are sin
cerely anxious to meet the farm
ers they should not object to a
game on neutral territory.
Manager Johnson has accepted
the challenge of the U of O team to
play any eleven in the orthwest.
Here is his telegram to the JliU-
gene management: .cimer jvj.
Wright, Manager of University of
Oregon Football Team, Eugene, Or.
-While we make no claim to the
Northwest cfiampionship, we will
accept your challenge, as stated in
today s Oregonian, provided Alba
ny does not accept ours by tomor
row noon. Jt Albany accepts, win
play you on following Saturday.
(Signed.) "Charles. L. Johnson.
"Manager, Agricultural College
Eleven."
The O A C football squad goes
down to Salem on tomorrow morn
ing's boat. The fi.-st team plays a
return game with Willamette Uni
versity at that city Saturday after
noon. These teams met cn Agri
cultural College field, October 18tb,
and the farmers won by a score of
67toO. If they win by half that
score tomorrow, on a slippery field,
it will be more than their most ar
dent supporters expect.

The commissioners court met in
adjourned session last Wednesday
morning. About 100 taxpayers
were cited to appear to show cause,
if any, why their assessments
should not be raised. A large
number responded and the court
was still in setsion when twe Ga

of its proceedings did not appear

Many farc3 comedies of a highei
class than "Hunting for Hawkius"
have been seen in Corvallis but
none so full of action and surpris
ing situations. With ,,two or three
exceptions the players are mediocre,
but the entire company throw a
dash and go into the piece which
starts an audience going with the
first speech and it finds itself only
when Hawkins is discovered at the
lall of the last curtain. The merit
of the performance, however, is
greatly marred by an effort on the
part of all to inject as much slang
into the lines , as their vocabulary
embraces; a proceeding that is
neither wise nor witty.
A letter dated at rfan Diego, Cal.,
trom Charles . Morgan, son of F. P.
Morgan of this city, who is a U. S.

states that the had just arrived at

They are out for a twelve-months
cruise before returning to theit sta
tion at Mare Island, Cal. Charles
seeuis to be enjoying himself and
says that he has not experienced
any sea-sickness, but that man'
others of the crew have. His let
ters are very interesting, and give a
fair idea of the kind of life our sail
or boys live at sea.
Ileal estate in this city seems to
be considerably sought after and it
remains at a good figure in conse
quence. Wednesday, W. A. Wells,
of this city, purchased sixteen lots
in Jobs addition of A. Bush, a
mpmber nf the banking firm of
T.add and Bush of Salem. Since
this addition was laid out and
Dlaced on the market, about twelve
vears aeo. an astonishing growth
has taken nlace. Where, at this
time,' there was naught but fields,
fine residences and cottages are on
every hand. Some of the most
comfortable homes are situated in
this addition and improvement is
still the order of the day. Fine
yards, lawns gardens, etc , are in
evidence on alK sides and the addi
tion has a good future.
