U. sad O. ft- C. Meet on Agricultural Field, Thursday, for tie Fourth Time. . The game between O A C and Pacific University football teams oa .Agricultural college field Thursday .afternoon will be the last contest cri the local fiell this season, but this not the'only rea son why a record-breaking crosvd should be in attendance. There is little doubt that a game will be arranged with Albany College and supporters of the home teara will be able to get a line, upon the aggregation that will try con elusions with the champions o: Linn county. Then, too, funds are still necessary to pay for the fine new grand stand and the fence around Agricultural field The defeat suflered by Eacific at Eugene is no evidence that the farmers will have a walk over Scores are deceive things. O. course, tne oranee will win, out all who attend will witness contest. Teams from Pacific and O A C have met three times., before, On two occasions they played tie games, but last year Pacific won.

Taylor, who left here ear- v in lae month with the intention of going to Arizona -for his health, did not proceed any further than Davisville, California. He has rel atives there and stopped for a visit with them. He found the climate so agreeable to his health that he is still there and may remain in that ection for some time. In a recent letter he stated that he was feeling quite well and had gained four or five pounds in weight. Frank A. Grant came out from his Big Elk Farm last week to at tend sonio business and while hero was the victim of an accident which might have proved very serious. nday, while he was in the Brick Stable waiting to have his team itched up, one of the stable horses kicked him on the right thigh. In comparatively short time the limb was badly swollen and quite painful. He managed to get about with the assistat ce of a cane and appeared thankful that the kick was not more serious in its results. The Farmers have suffered a crushing defeat this season at Se attle by the Washington Univer sity team and neither Albany nor the U of O are under any obliga tions to play them or even recog nize their defeated aggregation. Albany Herald. University of Washington de feated the "farmers" by a score of i6to6, ten of the 'varsity's points being made, by plaqe kicks. Albany defeated Monmouth by a score of 15 to 6. Does the Her ald consider that Albany admin istered a "crushing defeat" to Monmouth? McMinnviile de- Lfeated Monmouth 12 to o, and the - "farmers" ' easily defeated McMinnviile by a score of 33 to o. Better reconsider. Mr. tier- aid. . Quite a pportsmen Hud made wild ducks number of our local have clubbed together arrangements to have 1 aifed. It would not be a fair deal to state where the p!a.e is, but it may be said that a farmer has taken it upon himself to bait the ducks provided the other spirts furnish-the bait, which is wheat. The Woodmen of the World had a "lark cf a time" Saturday night with some five or fcix candidates who considered themselves compe tent to ride the Woodmen goat, even though there was pepper in "Billey's" beard.

The Alsea, Dusty, Willamette, Corvallis and Fairmount acted favorably on the resolutions sent them in regard to holding parents' meetings in con nection with the granges.

Wado & Co., has accepted a situation with a hardware firm m r,i Grande, EJ-istern Oregon. It is Frank's intention to move his fam ily to that point as soon a9 he can make satisfactory arrangements for the disposition of his property in tbis city. A few days ago a couple of Cor vallis gentlemen got into an alter cation and finally one ot them in cidentally mentioned that it would give him great pleasure to warm the wax in the ears of the other fellow. They were both elderly men. The one who had. be;n threatened pulled a lead.pencil out of his pocket and handed it to his opponent, saying: "Mark every bone in your body so you can get it back in place, for I shall break, every one of them." This was such an unusual proceeding in a case of this character, that negoti ations were declared off. Wm. L. Beagle, of Umatilla county, arrived in this city last Thursday and departed northward the following day. Friday morn ing, in company with Capt. J. W. Crawford, he visited the O A C and was much impressed with what he saw at this great educational insti tution. He said that he intended to send his son to college here next year. Mr. Beagle has been up in Alaska and the British Yukon country during the past four years and only departed fro 11 Nome on the loth of last October. He is a very pleasant gentleman as well as a thoroughly wide-awake business man. Mrs. Jones was cleaning hoiue one day, rcccntty, and bad hired two hobos to nssist with the ardu ous task. I imps," siid she 'that those picture frames should, betcleaned." "All rigM," said the men, "if you will allow us to get some whiskey, we can eas-ily clean and polish them." "Whiskey!" exclaimed she, "if whiskey will do it, I will go right up stairs end get a Hark of it I have." The men took. the whiskey but, of course, washed the frames in soap suds, and drank the whiskey. When they brought the shiuing frames in to Mr?. Jones, she exclaimed, "so whiskey did ill" "Yes," answered the men, "whiskey did it." "And just to thtnk," said Mrs. Jones, "that I was gcing to throw it away. It was what I bathed poor Fido in before he died." The Eugene Register and Cor vallis Gazette predicted a vic tory of 2 goals to none in favor of Eugene. The Democrat sad the teams were sbont even. Al bany Democrat. Well, what was .the matter with the ,; Ga zette's prediction?

"The way Albany newspapers abuse the O A C football team, saying the men are afraid to meet the Albany eleven, and such, wouid seem to indicate that said papers don't want Corvallis peo ple to come to A'.baay to trade any more." The Albany Dem ocrat credits the above to the Ga zette, and makes this comment: "In view of the fact that the abuse has all been from Corvallis this is good. The Democrat dosen't believe the O A C team is very much afraid of anything. Albany people though consider the Albany team their equal." There is evidence here that Bro. Nutty is going out of his way to find trouble. If he will show us where one line of the item he quotes ever appeared in the Gazette, we will make him a present of a year's sub scription. However, there is a point in the item, to which resi dents of Corvallis should give heed ; they should spend their money with Corvallis merchants. If the local dealer does not carry what you want, let him know there is a demand for it and his business sense will lead him to supply it. This is the only way to build up Corvallis.. Here are the papers of Albany abusing and belittling the football team of the Agricultural college, and yet the students of that institu tion have Mred an orchestra from Albany to supply music for their dance tomorrow evening. A bet ter orchestra could have been se cured at home, and the money kept in Corvallis. The McMinnviile Telephone Register says: "Corvallis peo ple outdid themselves in their treatment of our football team." And speaking of the reception given to the McMinnviile team, the same paper said: "The whole affair was pleasant and in formal. At the close of the social an elegant and tasty ban quet was served. The farmers truly can entertain as graciously as they can play football fiercely." The public school teams of Salem and Corvallis demonstrated Saturday, that the crack college teams of Oregon have no monopoly on scoreless football games. In an exciting contest 611 O. A. C. field on that occasion, the3e young gridiron heroes struggled to reach the goal of the other fellow to no purpose. While the . local team had slightly the better of the contest, it failed to win through lack of generalship Their strong forte was bucking the line, and a systematic series of plays of this nature would have yielded at least one touch down, hut the temptation to electrify the spectators with brilliant end dashes by the backs was too great, and these were frequently attempted with an invariable loss of yardage. The first half was played between Sa lem's 33-yard lice and the center of the the field. In the second half the Cor- allis lada devoted their spare time to line plays and brought the ball from their 0-yard line to Salem's 4-yard line, where it rested when time was called. The local stars were Cameron, Keady, Pricliard . and Thorp. Cameron was a tower of strength 011 defense; and when the'left tackle was called ''over," there was always something doiag. He strode moDg the players of the opposition like Gulliver among the Lilliputians. ; Following was the line up; . Salem; ; Corvalms Eufolsun . . C. ... . . Zumwalt King. It G... ...... V..

Bishop performed the marriage ceremony, which was followed by an elaborate reception. The house was beautifully decorated with carnations, roses and potted plants. Until a late hour many friends offered congratulations. and throughout the reception re freshments were daintily served. Many handsome gifts were re ceived. Mr. and Mrs. Crofts leave for the East on November 25, and will be at home to their friends after the first of Decem ber at the Hotel West, Minneap olis, Minnesota. Mrs. Croft was the widow of the late Charles Hodes, formerly of this city. " The Farmers Won. O AC won an easy. victory from Willamette University in the re turn game played with that institu tion at Salem, Saturday. Captain Gault, Abraham and Williams en joyed the "game from the sidelines, and Coach Herbold did not accom pany the team. But. oi.ce in the iirst half did the farmers cross their opponents goal line; and they fooled along in the second half, making three touchdowns. In the last seven minutes they seared twice, and the Salem eubsthrew up their hands and exclaimed: "Great guns! They have only been fool ing with us!" The final score was, O A C, 21; Salem, 0. Nash stepped in a hole while running witii the ball and spiained his ankle so severely that he will not be ab!e to take part in Thurs day's contest, but he will be in his place shortly.

' Charles Hodge came up from 1 Shelton, Washington, Tuesday eve ning, for a few days visit with rela tives. From here he will go to Corvallis, where he expects to enter the livery busiuess with his brother-in-law J. E.; Winegar. Telephone Register. Ira Nelson, formerly a Corrallis business man' but. now clerk of Yamhill county, was in Corvallis, Friday, as a representative of the government land office at Washing ton. When " Secretary Hitchcock began investigating the alleged tim ber land frauds in Oregon, he asked the various county clerks of this state to advise the department con cerning the list of questions they had been asking persons filing on timber claims. The list of ques tions submitted by Clerk Nelson pleased the department better than any of the other lists, and Mr. Nel son was appointed a special com missioner to visit the clerks of Polk, Benton, Linn, Lane, Douglas and Clackamas counties and instruct them how to proceed when an ap plicant appeared before them to tike oath as to his intentions. Next Thursday is Thanksgiving, and it may truthfully be said that the people of this state have much to be thankful for. Of course here and there will be found a person who will opine that life in general is a sort of nightmare with him. But if such a person will look about and take the coirect view of life, he will find that, although his affairs may be in a bad way, they might be worse, and he should be thankful for this phase of the affair. There is scarcely a man, woman, or child whose lot seems dreary but by comparison will conclude that some other person's condition is worse than theirs, and they would not excnaEgo places with the per son in mind. There is truth in the saying that ''thinking make3 it so," and if one makes up his mind to be thankful he may readily find something for which to be thankful. fit X "$ it?IE - 1 TvZ S 5 V Watch my show wiii- S dows for pointers on - P Christmas presents.
