The matter was continued for the term Ipmortaat Change from Present Statute : Contemplated in Bill now being -; Prepared. ' . . One of the important changes in the school laws of Oregon which is likely to be attempted at the next session of the legislature, says the Telegram, is to au thorize the consolidation of school dis tricts for the purpose of concentrating the school money with a view of conduct ing a better elass of schools and provide a way of conveying to and from snch schools the children, who, by the change, should be situated at a distance from it of two miles or over.' - A bill for this purpose is already in ' course of preparation providing the man ner in which the districts desiring con solidation must proceed to accomplish consolidation, which shall be by having Northwest. a meeting of the doctors ef each district called especially for that purpose, at which a vote by ballot shall be taken and dne return thereof shall be made to the district boundary board of the coun ty, and consolidation shall be declared only when a majority of . the votes are cast in favor of it in each district to b9 included. The new district thus formed shall take snch rank as its population entitles it to take, and the directors of the most populous district, in the num ber consolidating shall remain as direct ors of the new district, subject to such changes as subsequent ejections may make. All the property of the several districts joining the consolidation snail become the property of the new district, and be subject to the control of its board of di rectors. The school boards of these consolidated districts are required to furnish transpor ofO A C, fur.half back oa the all-star team, the Oregonian says: ' '"Boot plays' the game for all he is worth, although comparatively inexper ienced. He does not possess the ground gaining ability of Goodrich, but is better on interference and tackling His work in the Corvallis-Washington game was of very high order, and when the "farm ers" found their chance to carry the pig skin over the Seattle goal line, Boot did the stunt in a very creditable manner, after a series of pretty end runs and tan dem plays. - - V. "The choice of a center" is hard-to de termine, as Burnaugh, of Corvallis, and McKinney, of Oregon, are almost evenly matched. Burnaugh, while 10 pounds lighter than McKinney is given the place, although the big Oregon freshman is one of the most promising men in the Burnaugh -is more active than McKinney, has played the game loager, and for these reasons he is se lected." " .

It will be the first recital given by the department this year and a musical treat is assured those who attend. Thorough instruction has been giv en and pains taken to make the re ntal of interest. The general pub lic is invited, but it should be borne in mind that the doors will close promptly at 7:45 and no interrup tion will be permitted. In view of the point being made in many sections of the country over the brutality of football, the injury list does not seem so great when figured out on this basis. There are in this country about 10,000 football teams, including col leges, school?, athletic clubs and minor organizations. A conserva tive estimate places th members of mvh team at 25. The result of 250.C00 boys playing a rough game every day for 80 days must of ne cessity be accidents and deaths. The following dispatch from Hills boro to the Oregonian, under date of December 12th, concerns a form er prominent Corvallis man: Pro fessor Milner, of the Woodlawn schools, was yesterday brought be fore the court on peremptory pro ceedings to be examined as to why heha9 failed to pay alimony grant ed his wife as the result of a di vorce suit some months ago.

Ollie Mack has few equals as a portrayer of "Shanty Irish" character,, and he has excellent support in Mazie Trumble and Joe Sullivan. The performance is a "musical mix-up" pure and simple, and one roars at its many absurd situation?, and giggles for days afterward.

It needs no plainer argument to satisfy everyone that the business man who keeps his store or shop well stocked and neat in appearance ia a public benefactor. The increase of business which he will enjoy will repay him for his trouble and investment, and his example is, an incen tive to a general improvement. This little dissertation is inspired by the wide-awake policy pursued by J. M. Cameron and the enterprise he has dis played in providing Corvallis with the most thoroughly equipped harness-making establishment in the state outside of Portlaud. He has spared no pains to make his place of business attractive. Last Saturday he received from Toledo, Ohio, a life-sized figure of a horse upon which to display his harness. The figure is life-like and represents a beautiful dapple gray roadster. It is i5K hands in height, and weighs 260 pounds. and rises to "inspired nonsense. Concert and Dance. Selected for All-Star Team. Yesterday's Oregonian names the players which in the estimation of its athletic editor, should compose the all star football team from the colleges ot Oregon for the season of 1902. Pilking ton, Root and Burnaugh are selected for fullback, half and center, respectively. Of Pilkington, the Oregonian's authority says: "Bert Pilkington, ot the Oregon Agri cultural College, is far and away the best candidate for the positioa of full back. He is a big fellow, strong, and active as a cat, and always combines splendid head work with his playing. His work in the Corvallis-Eugene game of this year was au exhibition in itself, and every contest of the season showed practically the same .result. Pilkington is in a class by himself, so far as Oregon fullbacks are concerned, his only super ior in the Northwest existing in the per son of "Hez" Brown, the stalwart Whit man player." In giving its reason for selecting Root, Great preparations "are being made for the . students' dance which is to be given in the Ar mory next Friday night. The Corvallis Orchestra of eight pieces under the direction of F. R. Overlander has been engaged to furnish the music for the dance and to play a concert of an hour just before the dance begins.
