Football at College Last Fat. It now transpires that the Pink domino" burglar that has been terroiizing Nob bill resi dents ia Portland, and who was captured Wednesday through "the assistance of Mrs. 100 Hauimer- sley of that city, is a tormer OAC student. When in Corvallis. the voung man was known as Ernest Lane and he played football last season on the second team. It is said that he did not leave this city until January, in which case he must have gone direct to Portland to engage in his nefar ious practice. He came to OAC t the beginning of the scho 1 yeor last fall and left here in Jan uary as stated. He was a good student and was not regarded as vicious by his teachers. He played football and stood high in his classes, in fact was regarded as an ideal student, until he made a trip to Portland about the holidays After his return from there he appeared like a different bov and because of immoral con duct was finally expelled from college, although nothing was known of it outside of college at the time, as it is the way of j President Gatch to give such bovs an opportunity to redeem their reputations, and therefore the fact of expulsiou is not nois ed abroad. Young Lane, as he was known here, had a refined, rather effem inate face, and was well liked until the latter part of his stay in school when his conduct became questionable. His photos in the Pottiand papers were recognized instantly by many former class mates and college friends The crimes for which Lane L held are too numerous to permit of details here. In one burglary be is said to have beaten a lady into insensibility after she had given him her diamond earrings. When captured he had three re volvers on his person and fought desperately with the officers, by whom he had to be clubbed into submission. A worse career for so young a criminal would be hard to unearth. Lane is but 19 years of age and is an Oregon boy, his home being up the Col umbia. Raw Meat for Tuberculosis. In order to ascertain the value of raw meat in the treatment of tuberculosis, which has lately, come into vogue on the conti nent, a series of experiments on dogs were undertaken by Richet, the results of which have just been published in the Journal of the French academy, says an ex chauge. The author decla.es that these experiments show raw meat to have great value as an aid to re cuperation, and that its merit lies more in the nature of the food than in the amount of protein it may contain. That is to say the same quantity of nutrients in raw and cooked meats do not give the same results. A number of animals were fed on restricted diets made up tor different periods of raw meat, porridge, consisting ot rice, milk and sugar, cooked meats and cheese. The animals fed on a mixed diet remained in good condition. The animals ted on porridge died before the termina tion of the experimental period. Animals fed on cooked meat lost 20 per cent in weight, while the raw meat animals maintained a constant weight and rapidly re covered after periods of fasting or undernutrition on other diets. Passing of Keeler Gabbert. Keeler Gabbert, a former well known newspaper man of this city where he was at one time employed on the Times, is dead. The story of his passing was re lated in Thursday's Tonrnal. and the story wai repeated about j town manv an old acquaintance spoke kindiv ot the quiet, unas suming nun who - was 7 a good printer and a 'good fellow" in newspaperdom. The story is as follows: Keeler Gabbert, a well known newsptper man of Portland and vicinity, dropped dean of heart disease this morning at abont 11 o'clock at the corner of First and Washington s reets. He was picked up bv bystanders and was taken to , Finley's undertaking parlors by the police. Gabbert was well known in Portlaud and was about 50 years of age. At various times he has been employed by the Journal, the Oregonian and the Telegram. He was also the editor of the Sr Helena Mist three or four years ago, but sold that prop rty to E H. Elagg, the present editor. For some time pst be has been a newspaper correspondent at Ore gon City. Mr. Gabbert married Miss Stella Rowland of Roseburg, but was separated from his wife some time ago. Mrs. Gabbert. is now living at Eugene. The deceased has two sisters in Portland. Mrs. Lulu Kramer of 781 York street, and Miss Ethel Gabbert, a sten ographer for the diug firm of Archer & Schantz. A brother also resides in Salem. At the Skating Rink. Raie sights are seen these days at the Corvallls skating rink. where men, women and children are making a desperate effort to become graceful skaters. Men who are by nature modest and retiring forget all bashfulness and go through stunts before a crowd ed house thatrival anything ever seen in Oregon, if not on earth. One fellow who put on the rollers oue day last week is said to have gone through all the movements usually made .by a man fighting yellow jackets, and in addition to swinging his arms and striking wildly with his feet, he got in some remarkable side twists and lunges of the body that were the amazement of all beholders. Another person is said to have strongly resembled the move ments of a Dutch windmill in full operation, while on all sides stunts more or less remarkable were constantly taking place. In the forenoons the ladies of the city have been allowed to skate tree, in order to learn, and the way some of them have jar red the rink in alighting has cre ated much admiration of their courage in returning again to the task ot learning. The small boy is there in all his glory and ot course he can skate. Not infrequently he is asked to escort some 209-power female infant around the rink on ber trial trip, and comes in at the finish exhausted but enthu siastic, for by all who have tried skating there is only one verdict it is simply the finest amuse- menc in Corvallis.

MANY Cut Rates ' Begin Jnne 1st Con ventions Mean Half Fare. Every active commercial or ganization should get full details relative to the summer tourist round- trip rates whi;h will be on sale from Junelst to Setpem- ber 15th with final return limit of Oct. 31st. These' tickets are on sale at all Missouri river points, St. Paul and Minneapolis for $60; from St. Louis, $69, and from Chicago $75, and should add enormously to the transient travel to every town in Oregon, but it is just exactly like the colonist rates, if we do not push them and keep them constantly before the people the travel will go to some other section, and certainly we have the most ad' vamageous summer climate m the United States. Timber Values Increased. Timber land values in Linn county and in Oregon seem des tined to increase right along, un til they are quoted on the basis of $10 to $15 a thousand stump age, according to dealers in such lands, says Sunday's Albany Herald. At present the average value is about $x per thousand. The demand for timber lands on the part ot Eastern capital ist is on the increase from week to week, and to use a crusier's expression, "You don't have to hunt up a buver if you have a good tract of timber to sell. The buyer will be sure to hunt you." 'Timber lands are no longer bought and sold by the acre," said a well known timber laud operator who was in Albany yes terday. Crusiers are now put on the road to ascertain just bow much timber is growing on a given tract, and the value t such a tract of land is based on the number ot thousand teet of stumpage. In Linn and Lincoln counties values are the highest, a? the tinioeris considered more avai'able. In the remo e dis tricts, east or the mm a tains, timber land is cheaper, because logging roads will have to be constructed at considerable ex pense o bring the timber to mar ket. "I look for even the most re mote of these lands to be brought into requisition in the near fu ture, and the world will continue to demand all the timber avail able iu the northwest until the supply is exhausted." "BROTHER" IN TROUBLE. Globe Trotter Writes Oregonian of Treatment in Corvallis. Alphabetical Swackhanner is in trouble again and this time he carries his grief to the Oregonian. He has been camping around Corvallis. and the students of the College city lit on him like flies around a molasse . barrel and this is what the colored "lecturer" writes to the Oregonian. (To the Editor.) This is how i was treated in the city of, Cor vallis Oregon at the College There were some voung women stop to talk to me for that i had given an talk in the public school and they thought; that 1 was go ing Up to the college to talk in the Y.

The debaters who will repre sent th- Uaiversitv of Oregon in the interstate debate jham'pioa ship of the Rockv Mountain re gion and the Pacific Northwest with the Uaiversity of Utah, left . for Salt Lake Siturday. The two men are F. V. Galloway, off McMinnville, and J. C. Veatchr of Cottage Grove. The former was leader of the negative team in the try-state league, and the latter ot the affirmative. The debate which the menu will take part in on April 26, will probably be the most im portant oue ever held on the Pa cific Coasr. for the reason that both institutions which the teams represent are champions of the respective sections. The question will be exactly the same as debated with Wash ington and Idaho, .the repeal of the fifteenth, and a clause of the fourteenth amendments. While Oregon won on both sides of the question, it is generally consider ed that the side the negative adverse to the repeal, is the strong st, and that side Oregon will have it in this debate.
