The entertainment given last Sat uiday evening at the Presbyterian church at Oak Ridge, was a great success financially and otherwise. The receipts, which will be used to seat and paint ,the interior of the school house, amounted to $53.70, as follows: Door receipts, $10 50; sale of boxes, $42.20; contribution by A. W. Fischer, $1.00. The basketball team speak very highly of the treatment they re ceived while in Corvallis and have no excuses to offer for losing the gaie. " Owing to the delayed train they did not arrive in Corvallis Sat urday evening until eight o'clock and the game was not called until nearly pine. Captain Thayer Bays his men played good ball but need, more experience. Register. Notwithstanding the faci that there are no prisoners in the Benton county jail, and, therefore, there is no necessity for heating that build ing, the woodpile used for that pur pose is gradually growing less. The shrinkage occurs only in the night time, and the officers in the court house, who have noticed the phen omenon, are considering the advis bility of placing a watch over the wood to detect, if possible, the cause of the gradual wasting away., Saturday evening the Commercial C'ub announced that it would cease negotiations with R. M. Crarcer for the removal of his carriage factory to Eugene from Corvallis. This does not necessarily stop the enter prise from coming here but simply relieves the club of the obligation which is free to be taken op by any other organization or individual in the'' city. Mr. Cramer and Mr. Smith, the proprietors, know . the advantage of Eugei.e as a location for the factory and will not give up trying to remove the same to this city. Guard. ; We are in receipt of a comple mentary copy of a little pamphlet on "The Strawberry Industry on the Northwest Pacific Coast," from the author, E. Hot er, of Salem. Mr. Hofer has given much time and attention to the growing of straw berries and is recognized as an authority on the subject upon which he writes. His pamphlet treats of the natural adaptability of the Northwest to strawberry growing. It views the in Justry from the stand point of its commercial value, and offers, observations and rules in tended to assist the beginner in strawberry culture to make a suc- cesr financially. Numerous half tones add to the value and attrac tiveness of the little book. The DeMoss family appeared in the Presbyterian church last Wed nesday evening, before a good-eized audience, ihe program consisted of musical numbers composed by members ot the cjmpany, and others atttibuted to the masters. These entertainers have been tour ing the country for years, at.d their efforts illustrate what may b9 ac complished by application in the absence of talant. The vocal num bers are tolerable only because they are a relief from something less mu sical. Two redeeming features were "The High School Cadets," on stringed instruments; and "Sounds from Multnomah," by the xylo phone band. The DeMoss family are capable of rendering a pleasing number on a vaudeville program, but they lack the versatility and artistic merit to supply an accept able evening's entertainment. . CHEMAWA WON. After Playing a Tie Game, the Visitors ) Won by a Score of 8 to 6. In the most stubbornly con tested game of basketball seen in the Armory this season, the girls of O A C met their first defeat last Wednesday afternoon. Their dusky opponents frdm Chemawa gained the victory atter tha score had been tied at the end of the second half. The teams agreed to continue play until one or the other had scored a point, and it was the visitors' good fortune to land a most difficult basket after the local girls had missed a num ber of pretty attempts. The teams were most evenly matched: Chemawa playing the better defensive game, and O A C giving a beautiful exhibition of offensive play. The team work of the local girls was bril liant, but the dusky maidens camped closely upon their trails, and no paleface ever had oppor tunity to make a deliberate throw from the field. Chemawa was more successful in attempts from the field, and thereby gained their victory. The farmer las sies kept the ball under the visi torsV basket two-thirds of the game, but the ball seemed too large for the rim, for it would circle around just inside in a most exasperating way, and jump out again. The first halt ended in a score ot 2 to o, in Chemawa' s favor. To this score tht visitors added another basket soon alter the opening of the second half. The local lassies' luck turned then, and they secured two baskets. Chemawa added two points by a pretty trick, but theiradvantage was soon x overcome. When the half ended, the score board read: Chemawa, 6; O A C, 6. By mutual agreement the game was continued, and after five minutes of play one of the visi tors made a sensational trv for a goal, which proved successful.. While the playing of both teams was strenuous, the best of humor prevailed and few fouls were called. Neither team made a point'from free throws. It, is probable that a return game will be arranged, and those who see it will get their money's worth. May Grant New Schedule. The effort to secure a chaCe of schedule in the West Side pas senger service, whereby it is be lieved the towns lying along the line will be-greatly benefitted, is receiving much encourage ment. The movement is being pushed vigorously by all inter ested. At a meeting of the Port land Board of Trade last Monday evening . a communication was read from the Independence Im provement .League soliciting the co-operation of the board in the endeavor to obtain better train service on the West Side from the Southern Pacific. The board indorsed the communication and the chairman appointed I. B. Hammond, A. H. Devers and C. M. Idleman as a oommittee to confer with the railroad officials in Portland and co-operate with the Independence Improvement Leange. Assurances have been received from the Southern Pacific offi cials at Portland, that the matter shall be given earnest considera tion. Petitions are being circu lated in all cities on the West Side, and are being numerously signed. Corvallis cannot afford to be idle in this matter. The suggestion for a " new schedule had its inception in this city, and a strong petition from here would have its influence with the railroad people,"who have shown a disposition to make improve ment where there is evidence that they are practical and will be appreciated. .

'The Gazette wishes them all happiness.. Enquiring for T. B. Odeneal. F, M. Williams, of Seatle, Wash., has written to a friend in this, city whom he knew in Nebraska, mak ing inquiry concerning T. B. Odeneal and members of his family. Mr. Williams waR a half-brother of Mr. Odeneal. He says in his letter, "I think Benton has been dead several years, but he had a family a son named Arthur, and a daughter named Fanny: Arthur must be about 35 or 37 years . of age. Any. information you can give me about this family will be very gladly received." Benton Odeneal was prominent in the business and political affairs of Benton c aunty forty: years 'ago. He established the Gazette in De cember, 1863, and was its editor un til February, 1866, when he took in as his associate Wm. Carter. In July of that year he severed his connection with this paper. Fol lowing this, he served as judge of this , county. . In the early 70'a he removed from Benton county. He served as reporter of the supreme court of Oregon from 1880 to 1884, giving place to Mr. Stratton. His death occurred several years ago. Mr. Odeneal was a brother in-law of the late Senator J. N. Dolph. Relatives of the family still reside in Benton county, and they will confer a favor on Mr. Williams by answering his enquiries. His ad dress is 603, 15th ave., North, Se atle. ' . Opera House, Tuesday Night. "Human Hearts," which will be given at the Opera House next Tuesday evening, is a play that- has withstood the test of time as few dramas . of recent years have done. ' Monday's .Portland Telegram has this endorsement of the com pany and their performance: What' is there in 'Human Hearts' that enables that melb drama to make such a hit? For several seasons this play has ap peared at Cordray's, and invari ably it has enjoyed corking good business. Once more the show came to Cordray's yesterday, and two big audiences turned out to see it, although the heart-rend i eg story has beenio'd and retold on the stage of thij theatre. As on former occasions the company was up to the requirements and the audiences were enthusiastic both at the matinee and evening performances." Basket Social.

"It appeais to you, , when the fruit hangs ripe and sweet on the tree late in February, or early id March.' Then the blossoms break out, and the trees are yellow with golden globes, and white with orange flowers. It may be that a flurry of snow has whitened the moun tain tops, and then you 'have an artistic background for a tropical forest. The air is full ot sunshine, and heavy with fragrance as night comes on, and then, if the moon be shining, you may hear at midnight through open windows, the 6ong of the mocking-bird in the scented grove, and it never Eeemed so melodious before." - An experience like this is possible any winter, and it is worth a journey of a thousand miles, while you can have it by taking the scenic Shasta route through the grand and" picturesque Siskiyou and Shasta mountains, to Southern.
