Just at present the ' ''coreless aoDle" is attracting attention. We are assured -that this sort of an apple has made its appearance and realy "has & me to stay." This Beems too good tol)e true. It re minds us of the experience as re lated bv a country gentleman on his return from a visit to the city, Mis wife asked him if be saw- any "horseless carriages" wbilj in the metropolis?"' No, he replied, "but ' I nad some of their derned cowless milk." Coreless apples and 'cow less milk would undoubtedfy make great dumplings.

Whether her death was occasioned by some cription of cramp, or heart failure is Dot known positively,' but it is thought to have been the former, The remains were interred, Sunday, in Pleasant Valley cemetery.

At this season of the year a good pai of pheasants are worth something? and the bill received use $ t.ov, but at some seasons of the year may 'be had at $5 per pair.;.. Messrs. Simpson and Bane are of the opinion . that there is more money in raising pheasants than in the chicken business, allur ing as is the latter, and are ' going ' to give it a trial. We shall hear the result later ; . c . Editor B. " F. Irvine went to Salem, yesterday. , , ' Prof. G.

Wills, who arrived with his wife last week, from Portiand, is. now located in a dwelling jut south of the college. Mr. Wills has entered upon his duties as car- nenter at OAC and seriously in tends making this city his home. His opinon is :hat we will alwavs have a good t wn here. It is understood that members of the senior class at OAC are going t produce a play iu the near future the play is to be under the manage ment of Frof. Helen urawtord ana the nroceeds are to be turned over to the Village Improvement Society of this city.

He has chosen 'be Grai.d Valse Caprice," in E-flat, by Rubinstein. This is a. most trying number, but on this occasion it is certain of a good rendition. O. B. Connors, mail carrier on R. F. D. route No. 2, "played horse" last Saturday. ,On account J the roads being badlv tiozen. and in consequence very rough and slow to drive over, he went on toot and carried the mail on his back. To his credit it is related mat ne made the usual time.' He would make a great postman in a city. The mass meeting called for last Friday night in the interest of the Y. M. C. A. building, which it is proposed to erect near the college, was not very well attended. For some reason there was a lack of interest. A few speeches were made throwing light on the work on hand, but nothing in the way of raising funds was attempted. How ever, a canvas ot t le town lor con tributions was commenced yester day, and everything is looking bright again. Saturday, while returning from a trip -to Aisea, Mart jmtu met with an accident which might have caused him the loss of an eye. Some gravel was thrown from the horses' hoof and struck Mr. ruit in the left eye, nearly blinding him. Sun day the eye was paining him so severely that Dr. Cat hey was sum moned and succeeded in r. moving considerable gravel from the injured eye. Everything at present, in li cates a speedy recovery of the optic. The case of Groves vs. Osborn in the supreme court was affiro.ed. Upon opening iip for business last Friday morning, Dr.. Harper found a little round hole in the glass of the north ' window of hia dental parlor. Ttie hole was about an inch in diameter and perfecUy round, and had been made some time between ' his closing ; hour Thursday evening and ; when " he opened the following morning. Opinions vary as to the cause of the hole, some people inclining to the belief that it was caused by a bullet from a slung-shot, while others favor the idea that it was a "spent ball" from, a rifle. How ever, if either version is correct, no bullet was found1 in the establish ment. ' ' ' ;'; ' v , Our sportsmen have been keenly interested in-the hunters'license bill that was introduced during the present session of the! legist .ture. This bill- requires each hunter to pavi' an annual erun ' license fee of $1.00. .-, The : measure, 'passed the senate last Friday, By the pro visions" of Uhe' bilfv farmers T and members of their families are al lowed to hunt on their own lands When first introduced,'there was no Gxception made .in behalf of farmers, some pre n y rough handling. It was claimed unfair to impose a gun license fee of $1.00 on a farmer and every member of his family who used a erun. when they hunted on their own land, birds that they had raised, so to speak. The justice ot this as sertion was seen and the objectiona ble clause stricken from the bill. Miss Alice Mahaffey left yester day morning for Pe kit. Wash., f r a visit with her sister. Mrs. "Turner. Preparations are being made for the OAC cadets to go Salem one day this week and drill before the legislators This is great.. J. J.

An intereBting and entertaining time is promised.' Major Hardin having been the commanding officer at OAC for something more than a year, the following dispatch from Washing ton, dated Feb. 11, will be of in terest: "The War Department ha been inf jrmed of the acquittal in the court-martial case of Majir Upward Hi.

When B. R. Thompson arrived to open his photograph gallery, yes terday moaning, he found that some one had pried open his cabinet- of photos at the entrance to the build ing and appropriated several 'view hi was exhibiting. This, Mr. Thompson thinks,- was done some time during Sunday night. This is one way to get a valentine. The party guilty of this act evidently did not siop to think, or ho v?ouid have known that he could never allow his stolen views to be seen, as Mr. Thompson is the only per son witn this particular negative and could readily trace the thief in' this way. But one who will stoop to anything so petty is not capable ot serious thought. Last Friday evening about five o'clock I. P. Miller dropped dead in his chair. , Details are meager, but it is learned that Mr. Miller waB about 60 years of age, had beeu in this county but a few months and was stopping with a friend not Jfar from Philomath. The name of this friend could not be ascertained. It Beems that he was in his usual health that evening and was sitting by the stove when his friendly went out to do the chores. When the friend returned from his duties he discovered that Mr. Miller had fall en forward in his chair and was up against the stove. . Investigation proved that the old gentleman was dead. ' Where he was from or if he had any relatives is not known. The remains were interred Sunday in Newton's cemetery. V are deemed necessary " at . OAC, the young ladies dormitory among them.

Our- Girls Won, The basket ball game between the girls of OAC and the girls from the Chemawa Indian train ing school, which occurred in the Armory Saturday evening, result ed in a victory for our girls.' The final score stood 16 to 6 in favor of OAC. A large crowd of basket ball enthusiasts attended and the root ing was - impartial . The cadet band rendered good music suit able to the occasion. The first half was played with considerabh snap and resulted in a score of 9 to 4 in our .favor. The second half was somewhat slower and in this half the OAC girls scored 7 points, while their dusy oppo nents added only 2 points to their score. This made OAC 16 and Chemawa 6 as a final. The game was verv clean and there was no suspicion 01 a "roujiii house.". A large delegation of Albany people were present and seemed thoroughly to enjoy the game. They unhesilatingly pronounced the Corvallis- team the stronger. but thought Albany could admin ister defeat to OAC, and the re sult of this opinion was a chal lenge and its acceptance. By the terms of the challenge the young ladies of Albany will. play our girls next Friday evening in the Armory, with the understanding that Albany be given a return game on their own grounds next week. ., This is all very well and as it should be. Recently there seems tohave been a little hitch over the game between these teams and it nowjooks as if the matter would be settled in a sisterly way.
