Speaking of our football team
the Oregonian says: The defeat by

by performances since that time,
for Corvallis has decidedly beaten
both the Willamette and Washing
ton Universities. Willamette lost
to Oregon by a score of 10 to 6,
while Waihington tied the Oregon
team, and OAC piled up the scores
of 29 to 0 against the Salem ag
gregation, and walloped Washing
ton to the tune of-15 . to 0 score,

stronger "ban the State Varsity.

In Arizona.
Miss Nora Sargent, a daughter
of Harvey Sargent, speaking of
her father and herself, both of
whom are in Arizona, writes the
Gazette from Phoenix under date
of November 28, as follows: '
We like Arizona, but don't
find it as warm or as dry as we
had expected. It has rained
most of the two weeks that we
have been here, but the natives
say it is an exception, being the
worst weather for this time of the
year for twenty or more years.
So far it has been very much like
our Oregon fall weather, change
able, one hour sunshine, then be
fore you know it the rain is pour
ing down. But Arizona pesple
say that it is all right and we
should not complain unless it
rains eight days in the week as
it does in Oregon.
On our way down we stopped
at Oakland, Xos Angeles, River
side and Yuma. The litter city
is in Arizona, the two former in
California. At Los Angeles we
found it so foggy and disagree
able that one day was sufficient.
In Riverside, where we spent
three days visiting friends, we
also found rain, for it seemed to
be general throughout the South
and we couldn' t travel fast enough
to get out of it.
Papa says that Riverside is the
prettiest and cleanest little town
(11,000 inhabitants) that he has
ever seen, indeed, it well de
serves the " name it has "The
Pride of California." There are
beautiful little orange groves
throughout the city. Then, as
you take the train going east
you travel through forty or fifty
miles of the prettiest orange
groves in the world.
In Yuma one finds an ideal
place for those who are suffering
with , throat and lung trouble.
The mesa(table ground) back of
town is both high aild'dry the
air pure,
and the hot dry sand
makes it the best place I have
seen
It is a regular Mexican
town. Of the i.soo inhabitants
only about one hundred are white
people. I was told . that there
were only four white girls beside
myself. It is there you find the
genuine . savage Indians 5 with
painted faces, long hair- decorat
ed with feathers, etc., makes your
blood run cold and you think of
the days of the scalping kni'e,
especially when they are partial
ly intoxicated as I saw several
while there.
Phoenix is a pretty little Mex
ican town of about 15,000 popu
lation. They are to have a fair
here commencing Christmas.
