CHRISTMAS GAME PR03ABLE.
Multnomah Again Trying
get a Match with O. A. C.
Board of Regents Con
sent Necessary.
to
Again there are negotiations
for a football game between
OAC and the Multnomah Club
eleven. Manager Stimpson is
endeavoring to gain the assent
of the Board of Regents, and
already seven out of the thirteen
members have given their con
sent, and it is thought the others
will also acquiesce, A resolution
adopted by the regents prohibits
the OAC boys from playing with
any club teams, but on account
of the unusual conditions in
cident to the present season it is
thought the board will suspend
the rules for this particular game
Football men from all over the
state would like very much to
see a game between these two
formidable teams on account of
their being so near a match for
skill and strength; and it is
t hought OAC would give Mult
nomah a closer game than any
other college eleven in the North
west. OAC has shown a marked
superiority over her playing of
last year. The record of last
season shows that the Farmers
were defeated by Seattle, 5 to 0;
by Albany 6 to 0; by Eugene 5
to 0; and were held down to a
scoreless game by P. U., while
they only won two games during
the whole season, they being
with Nevada by a score of 15 to
0, and with Washington Agri
cultural College by 6 to 0.
But this season only one game
was lost and that by only one
point. Her record this season
shows that she won over the
Alumni by 11 to 0; Portland
Medics 22 to 0; Seattle 26 to 5;
Utah 45 to 0: and the last game,
played with Eugene was lost by
OAC, the score being 6 to 5.
The total scorefor the Agrics.
for last season was only 21 points
to the opposing teams 31 points."
This season OAC has 97 points to
her credit with only 11 points
against her, which has placed
the Farmers in "the front rank
of the college teams of the
Northwest.
With the exception of Pilking
ton and Bower, fullback and
tackle, aud perhaps Rhinehart at
quarter, this year's team will be
kept intact for next season. It
will be a hard matter to fill the
places vacated by these redoubt
able three, as they are no doubt
the best men in the state for
their positions. However, the
outlook for a more successful
season next year is more than
flattering, especially if Coach
Steckle can be induced to remain
as coach for the team. It is
believed that the 1905 team will
be the equal if not the superior
of any team in the Northwest.
Manager Watking of Multno
mah has offered the OAC team a
cash guarantee, or a liberal per
centage of the gate receipts for
the Christmas game and the
OAC boys are all anxious for the
game, so as to recoup as much as
possible a treasury that has been
heavily drawn upon through the
withdrawal of three teams for
games that had been scheduled
for the season.
If the game with Multnomah
is successful arranged, it is like
ly there will be enough people
from Corvallis and other paints,
who will want to seethe struggle
to insure reduced rates on the
railroads.

OREGON AGAIN LEADS.
Annual Report of Land Com
missioners Shows Arrival of
Many Homeseekers.
The annual report of Com
missioner Richards, of the Land
Office, just issued, contains a
series of elaborate tables show
ing the extent and character of
business transacted at the various
local land offices during the last
fiscal year. Among other things
brought out by these tables is
the remarkable decline in the
number and extent of timber
entries made last year, as com'
pared with the year previous.
The falling off in the Pacific
coast states is largely attributed
to the enforcement of Secretary
'Hitchcock's order suspending
The order continued in effect
up to December" last, at which
time it was set a.side by the
President.
It appaars from the commis
sioner's report that the aggregate
rpppinfa "Pwvm fl-o r1icr-c!alr -f
public lan(Js in Qregon durmg
the 12 months which ended June
30, 1903, amounted to $2,015,526.
This was high-water mark, not
only for Oregon but all over the
states. Never before, " and
probably never again, will the
revenue from public lands in
any one state reach this total in
a single year. The total receipts
from Oregon lands in the year
which ended June 30 last amount
ed to only $1,442,576, a drop of
more than $600,000. Yet in
spite of this decline, Oregon
still retains its place at the head
of the list of public land states,
and by reason of its excessive
receipts is credited with having
contributed more than any other
state in the reclamation fund.
Practically 90 per cent of the
i total receipts finds its way into
this fund.

Accidentally Killed.
B. D. Barnes, whose home is
near Granger, was so severely
injured about 5 o'clock Friday
t-. . 1 .
atternoon that he died at 9
o'clock the same evening.
Mr. Barnes with one of his
sons was at work on the Rickard
farm, digging a ditch for drain
age purposes. The section of
the ditch in which he was work
ing was about 9 feet deep, and
quite narrow. The ground, be
ing soaking wet was very easy to
crumble away at the top and in
some nnaccou 11 table manner, be
gan caving in, and before Mr.
Barnes could get out of the
dangerous place, he was com
pletely buried alive. His son
ran for help, but it was fully a
halt an hour before the unfortu
nate man could be removeo from
the ditch. A physician was
hastily summoned, but of no use
as tne poor fellow was beyond
earthly aid.
Deceased was 55 years of age,
and a wife, one daughter and
four sons are left to mourn his
loss. The funeral occurred at
the North Palestine church at
2 o'clock Sunday afternoon, and
was attended by a large number
of friends.
