Royal Welcome Home, Corvallis Proud. rjoes The OAC boys were extreme ly jjurbilant over the news which reached them from time to time from Seattle where their chosen eleven, led by Bert Pilkington were trying conclusions with the University of Washington. When the news of the splendid victory ' won by the OAC's came the air was made vibrant with the col lege yell, and "Oid . Glory' ' was iflung to the breeze from the col lege flagstaff. We do not have the report ef the gam in detail, and we are indebted to Suudaj's . Oregouian for t:;e following: Tiie Oregon Agricultural Col lege fonibili eleven administered a bt.-vt.TC auJ decisive defeat to the TJnivtrjity of Washington team this afternoon, winning a scare of 26 to 5. The Wcbfooters "put up one of the fastest and best games oi loot ball ever seen in Seattle. Their victory was due, however, in no small part to the Washington eleven failing to play ., any kiud of championship ball. r In less thau 25 minutes the visitors rolled up a scoie of 21, and during that time had tle local boys completely at their mercy. During the second half the Wash ington boys begau to play the game, of which they were capa- Die, ana easuv neia taeir own with Coach Steckle's bunch Bach team scored a touchdown. The Agricultural College cross ed the line through a fake play, while the University of 'Wash- ingtoti pusnea tae ban over'D a series of line bucks and end runs. Shaw, one of Washington's new halfbacks, carried the ball behind the Oregon goal line for the only time during the game by .a brilli- ant run of 20 yards round right end. . The Oregon Agricultn-ral Col lege team proved to be much heavier than Washington and very nearly as last. The inter ference of Oregon's badks was splendid for so early in the sea son, and although their defensive work was not up to the offensive, still it was very good. It was the opinion of many of the critics who attended the game that the visiting college could have --stood up well against any aggregation on the Coast today. While the weather was rainy, the giidiron was iu excellent shape and gave each team an op portunity to play its best football. Coach Steckle and Captain Pilk ington are more than pleased with the showing made and are Confident that they have a loag list of victories ahead of them. The classes at the college were dismissed ten minutes earlier than usual, yesterday morning, to en-; able the whole body of students! to meet their returning victorious team at the railroad station. Ko Roman gentia! ai. the he?d of his conqueiin' legions'" ever received a n-re ntiuisiatic ovr tiou than the bovs, and girls, too, gave to Cap'.ain Jiert Pilkington and hk men. The students headed by their cadet fcand escorted the victors through the principal streets, while cheers, and the college yell, set the very leaves of the shade trees in vibration. v The procession finally halted at Hotel Corvallis, and the triumph ant eleven were fairly carried to. the dining room, while host Ham- ' mej was ordered to fill them up with the best in his house regard less of consequences. The boys have just cause to feel proud of their victory for it was won over one of the best! teams in the Northwest, especial ly strong in quick, active play. Corvallisites, too, are proud of our college team tor in all games ' iu which it has participated re- . pons comes of their clean, tar manly playing and their uniform ly gentlemanly conduct ' The boys speak in unstinted praise of the competing, club and of the kind treatment they re- ceived from the people of Stattle during tneir stay The despised little college at Corvsllis does much more than play honest and winning games of football. Each student just as earnestly and enthusiastically engages iu his studies. The suc cess which comes to its graduates bears witness to the truth of this. Signs of Prosperity. The Corvallis Saw Mill is the set of wonderful activity which telis in unmistakable terms of the growth and development of our city. For three weeks the mill has been running ni-ht and day woiking two shift-s of men. This was made necessaty by the num ber of rush .orders received, and , the necessity of clearing up the loose logs ill tae immense rait, lying in the river oHvft-en the mouth of Mary; river and the county ferry. This raft com prised millions of feet. The portion of it in Marys river is he- lieved to pro bible be secure from anv danger by hi another lot 'ii water ot three millions of feefc at Boouvsile. This last is very valuable timber costing $10,030. The company employs 60 men and five teams. The scale of wages paid runs trom $1.65 per Xoay up to $150 per month, and aggregates upward of $125 per day. Much of the,, product of the mill is for itsimediale use in Cor vallis and vicinity, being required in buildings now in process of construction. Four teatsis are kept busy de livering this material and one hauling slab wood for fuel. But for a break in the .feeding machinery the loose logs ia the river would have been disposed of by Saturday evening. Two or three days' work, however, will secure these, and enable, the company tocatch up its delayed orders. Corvallis is not just the "sleepy place" casual observers .end strangers imagine it to be. Stabbing Affray. About Sijo Friday evening .an altercation occurred between Geo. Avery and a .young man named Lytle, whose home is near Philo math. It appears that the men met et the Fierstien house, where some sort of difference arose between the two. They shortly left the house passing out by the way of they alley. Just as they reach ed the street at the Cathey cor ner, George, resenting some re mark made by Lytle, drew a knife and struck Jiiin in the right breast, inflicting a wound that jnay become serious. Chief of Police .Lane a'noeared .ou the scene and took Avery into custody, while the wounded man was tacen toUr. Latney's resi dence. The Dr. found -a clean knife cut penetrating through into the lung cavity. He thinks the lung proper was not reached, but can not determine the fact. The danger is that inflammation or the pleura may supervene, otherwise he does not regard the wound as serious. It is needless to say that the men were under the influence of liquor.
