Mrs. J. B. Horner, who has
just returned from abroad and
whose fame as a hostess is well-
known, held a reception at Cau
thorn Hall, Thursday afternoon
from 2:30 to 5:30, which was
one of toe most pleasant social
events of the season. Mrs. Hor
ner was assisted in receiving by
Mrs. Thomas M. Gatch and a
committee of young ladies from
the Y.W.C.A. the affair being
given under the auspices of the
latter organization.
The guests included all the
college girls, the ladies of the
faculty, the members of the ad
visory committee of the Y.W.C. A
and all the ministers' wives of
the city.
The handsome pink dining-
room at Cauthoru Hall was beau
tifully decorated with clematis
and sweet peas, the tables being
very artistic in arrangement and
decoration.
Mr?. Thomas Callahan and
Mrs. S. N. Wilkins presided at
the tables and served tea and wa
fers to all. Over three hundred
guests enjoyed the afternoon and
everyone declares the occasion to
have been oue of great pleasure.

A deplorable disaster befell the
hop firm of Alford & Rust near
Philomath last Thursday. The
gentlemen have leased the old
Jerry Henkle hop yard about a
mile from Philomath and in four
days more would have completed
picking, but at 0:30 Thursday
morning the hop house and con
tents was consumed by fire.
It seems that drying hops was
progressing nicely, when "bricks
in the back of the fnrhace caved
in, allowing the flames to sweep
into the interior of .the building
where'everything was as dry as
tinder, and in a few moments
the structure was a roaring con
flagration, and nothing could be
done to save it.
There were 28006 pounds of
dried hops in the , house, every
ounce being destroyed, and even
at ten cents per pound the loss is
a heavy one. There was some

About fifty, men in

each evening now at OAC, and
the held begins to take on the
old familiar look of football ac

is not quite completed and no
one knows as yet where and
when then games are to be; but
be that as it mav, a good, hnskv

time.

Harding has had two or three
years as end on the second team.
Among the new men are
Smith, Teeters, Erskine, Suan-
noin, Dobbs, Looney, Gohong,
Barber, Wolfe and Johnson.
Smith weighs 22a noun anrl

gon;. Teeters is an Eastern man
who has had three years' ex
perience; Erskine weighs. 195,
comes from" Brownsville and
promises to make good; Shan
non who has played before with
OAC, is here again,: weighing
185; Dobbs has considerable of a
reputation, and Looney, froui
Columbia Umversitv is doing
good work at back field.
Gonong has had experience on
the Roseburg High School
team and will make a hard run
for quarterback; Barber weighs
188 aud has played tackle on the
Baker City High School team.
He is considered a promising
man as is also Wolfe, from the
Hill . Military Academy, Port
land, who tips the beam at 190
and has p'ayed full back very
satisfactorily. Johnson is also a
new mn of promise, and there
are others.
Coach N, S. Norcross arrived
Friday noon from Helena, Mon
tana, and reported for nractice
that afternoon. He played three
years at the University of Mich
igan, the first year as end and
halfback, the second year as
quarter aud the third vear as
quarter and captain. He is a
native of Michigan, and is con
sidered an excellent man for the
position he is to fill at OAC.
