Whil3 assisting in moving a woodh ue at the Kiger residence occupied by Byron Hunter, A. C Tunnisou met with ft" accident Tuesday. It seems that a portion of the roof slipped off the bui'ding striking Mr. .Tunuison across the nose, inflicting an ugly bruise and cutting the face somewhat, but it . N might easily have proven very . serious. The Oren team did another stunt on its own recognizance Wednesday mornin.'. The animals were hitch ed to t!o wuodsaw and the men spoke to theiu to move up tne ma chine a few feet. But when the head man called "whoa" the horses kept on going- and at so lively a gait that no one could gat hole, of the lines. Stw and team made a straight pull foJ Main street and were caught near the Hathaway blacksmith shop. One wheel of the saw was smashed and consider able other damage done. , He zing was the order at the -U. of O. Saturday night, and concern ing the pranks played the Register says: The freshmen from the dor mitory were taken to the athletic field where those not especially musical sang songs and those -not noted for their oratorical powers made speeches. A brisk run around the track and a rub down followed. Then came wrestling matchss with a dip in the mill race for the loser.' Those freshmen who like to stay close to the fair sex were called from the cozy corner of the "co-eds" " ; and compelled to make speeches on their steps. One freshman was i seen on the streets of Eugene Sun-' day with part of .his hair clipped close, .said to be the result of Sat urdy'a bazing. l! - l ne a. u. ivune residence on Fourth street is growing rapidly and will soon be enclosed.

As a precautionary measure he took some of his cider out to OAC and had it analyzed by . Prof. Knisely. The latter found but one-third of one per cent of alcohol in the cider. Work goes on rain or shine at the A. J. J.

The first issue of the new Cnrval J's newspaper is to appear abo it OctnW 10th, under the title ot the "Beuton County Republican." The name originally selected was "The! Willamette Current," but it did not setm to tftk w I with the peo ple and after: hearing a few of the objections offered the name was changed The be3t record for hoppicking that has been reported in Corvallis this Beason is that made by the Dilley girls of Corvallis while em ployed in a yard near Indepen dence. Miss Bessie Dilley in 18 days earned $69, and in the same period of time Miss Ruby earned $56. If anyone can beat this, let him sit up. take notice and report.

George Keiser, a brother-in-law of Johnny Fowells, is minu3 t!ie ends of two fingers on his right hand. It happened one dy this week and a eoph-r gun . did th work. Mr. Kiaer owns what is known as the Norton place in the edga of Corvallip, and is a compar ative newcomer to Oregon and therefore unacquainted with gopher guns. Only .a moment before the accident, Sam Kerr looked down the barreibf the gun, pronnunced it unloaded, and Mr. Reiser then proceeded to see how the iruohinn worked with the result mention ed. Mr. Kerr has reason to be thankful that he was not beheaded by the treacherous little weapon.- It is an old saying that "any fool can make a joke but" it requires a smart man to take one." it may also be addd that it is easy, very easy, to agitate a reform, but it is not al way 8 so easy to practice what you preach. To illustrate: Chief Lane is the busiest person one ever saw when it comes to 6tirring up the dear people on the subject of digging up the troublesome thistles, and when the concrete Bidewalk ordinance passed recently, Chief Lane was one of the most ardei.t advocates of the hew measure. But, sad to relate, Chief Lane is haulina lumber to build the com monest kind cf a common board walk along his premises, and with a villianous look in nis eye he cau tioned the reporter to not mention the fact, on pain of instant ' death. And meantime the thistles are de clared to'be in bloom in the chief s back yard, ;all ot which proves again that it is easier, to preach mi r r IT i . than to practice. -r"tf f Dr. Guthrie who was in Corvallis for several months a year or two ago arrived Monday from Oelwem, la and will remain indefinitely I Mrs. E.
