Two women from the country were standing in an alley in Cor vallis, holding a team of horses and talking, a few days ago. They had come in alone from their homes, and had put their horses in an empty barn belong ing to an acquaintance. There was no place there, however, to water the thirsty animals that had traveled probably eight or ten miles through the heat and dust. The writer accidentally over heard the conversation which was something like this: Said one ladv, "I do wish I knew where I could water these poor horses. It will be dreadful to have to drive them home with out watering them, but there is no place that I know of except that one faucet and you can't drive horses up to drink there." "Yes, there is a place to water horses some where here in town, for I heard it talked of once : bu.t the Lord only knows where it is," was the answer of the second party, after which they moved on up the alley, still talking. 1 his is no fairy Jale nor is it a dream, but a fact, and a signifi cant one that should catch the attention of more than one thoughtful reader. With Corvallis already pro vided with one of the best moun tain water systems on the coast and an inexhaustible supply cf pure cold water, is it not indeed a deplorable state ot affairs that horses must be driven to town and home again to the country without a drop of water to relieve their thirst? Surely a few dol lars might be invested in a plain wooden trough, centrally located, where animals could be driven up and given a cool, refreshing drink after a hot, dusty drive. If men must do without foun tains of bronze and cups of silver and still frequent the one lone faucet with its donated cup of tin, at least let Corvallis pro vide a place and a supply of water for the dumb animal , that cannot speak for itself. If not fountains, then give us troughs. King of Freaks. - While we are not all freaks we nearly all have a few freak ish ways and seem "queer" to our' fellow beings from their view Doint. But the most decided freak" heard ot recently (out side those at Chicago University) is James R. .Tinsley of Taney county, Wisconsin, of whom the fo lowing story is told: He attracted attention first through the . names he gave his children his son Itt and his daughters, Nothing, Something and Eighty-one the last named in honor of the year of her birth. Three years before free rural mail delivery was established, Tinslev, who lived across a big creek from the pos'effice, trained a duck to cross the stream daily, iO to the postoffice and, after the mail had been tied on its back, swira home. - After rural free delivery was installed and the mail brought to tae door of the Tinsley home, the duck continued to go to the general store and return each day with a paper. This led its mast er to suspect " something, so the following day he quietly took a position outside of the store, THE LEADING BUSINESS COLLEGE Elks Building, Portland, Oregon OUR FACULTY IS STRONGER THAN EVER We have jnst secured the services ot two high-salve I. pra- iraul men. as well as leading business educators, from the Eas.

The bird came, walked in and sat down on. the floor near the proprietor, where, after a short time, it arose and left a new white egg in its place. Then the proprietor tied an old paper on its back and started it home. - Tinsley found that this had been going on for over a year and the eggs that should have been his were taken by another. He filed suit in the Taney county circuit court to recover the value of 30 dozen duck eggs that he claims should have been his. Prospects Bright. With prospects that have never been brighter or more prosperous in the history of the institution for a successful college year, Wil lamette University will open its doors September 24th for regular work, says the Oregopian. The number on the roster of the uni versity last year 1 was 567, while present prospects show thai there will.be an increase of not less than 25 per cent, so that it is certain that there will be nearly 700 stu dents to uphold the honor of the "cardinal and gold." This in crease is a long step forward to ward the goal at which the uni versity is aiming 1000 studeuts. This year marks the 64th mile stone that "Old Willamette" b as passed. The college of medi cine opens September 16, the college of law September 30, the college of theology October 1, the college of liberal arts September 24. The college of music will occupy its new home on the cam pus and the old Lausanne Hall will be used exclusively as a dor mitory for girls. All the chairs have been filled for the year and show some new faces. Professor Edwin Sher wood, of Ohio, will fill the chair of Latin and Greek. Professor Sherwood is a Ph. D. from Leip sic, Germany. C. O. Boyer suc ceeds J. T. Matthews as dean of the college of liberal arts, while C. I. McNary fills the deanship of the college of law, which was vacated by John Reynolds upon his going to Portland to continue his law work. C. & E. Offices Change. The offices of the auditing de partment of the Corvallis & East ern railroad will be removed this week from Albany aDd in the future the work of this depart ment, will be done at Sin Fran cisco. A few months ago coincident wtth the transfer of the Astoiia & Columbia railroad to the Hill interests, the auditing offices of the Corvallis & Eastern, which had been previously at Astoria, were moved to Albany. The removal ot the C. & E. auditing department to San Francisco is believed to be a re sult of Harriman's taking over the C. & E. It is said that the offices will be in the same build ing with the Southern Pacific general offices in San Francisco. Tuesday's Heraid. r General Robert E.

The Corvallis public school opens a week from next Monday, beptember 23rd, and the event is looked forward to with as many different sensations as there are pupils and teachers interested, to say nothing of the parents who are as much concerned as the rest. There are manv mothers who are glad when school opens and the children are set to work for a-jotber nine months. The sum mer, to many, is a trying time, as there seems to be nothing to keep .he hands and brains of the little folks busy, and the result is a restlessness that almost distracts the parents. Children them selves, as a rule, enjoy school life and are glad when it is time for the new "fall clothes," new Looks and other school supplies, loci'" - tally, there will be a considerable item of expense for Corvallis parents this month for new books, as nearly all of those formerly in use are to be discard ed and new ores adopted. This is in accordance with the de mands of the State Text Book Comrrission, and while it is, no doubt for the benefit of the pu pils in general it will in many cases be quite a burdei for the pa.ents to meet, especially if there be several children in the family to be supplied with the late books. Another interesting item al ways in connection with the ope ing of school is, who the teachers are to be, and while the g ades a-e not yet assigned the comp'ete list ot teachers has been secured and is as follows: A. N. Fulkerson, principal; Mrs. A. N. Fulke.sen, primary; Misses Lena Tartar, Olive Mal low, Frances Belknap, Anna Linigren, Ada Finley, Kate Tadlock, Josephine Fullerton, Maud Mattley, Margaret Fo wells and lva Stevenson of Tangent. The following list of books and prices has been secured from C. A. Gerhard for the benefit of the Gazette readers who will have to meet the situation between now and a week from Monday, in or der that their children may keep step in the march of educational progress that is being taken up throughout the land. The books to be used in the common schools of Oregon for the six years end ingjuue, 1913, and the retail price of each is as follows: Book price Wheeler's Graded Primer 25 Wheeler's First Eeader 25 Whpeler'B Second Reader 35 .Wheeier's Third Reader 45 Cyr's Fourth Reader 50 Uyi's Fifth Reader 60 Raed's Word Lessons 25 Buehler and H.

Kl Newell, of Gaston, president oi the State Board ot Horticulture, to answer the question, "Why Oregon excels in fruit?" in ioo wards, says the Oregenian. Mr. Newell replied that he could an swer the question very easy in several pages, but succeeded in limiting his reply to the stipulated 100 words, as follows: . "O.egon excels in fruit because her apples are the acknowledged .standard of ihe world, bringing bigheJt prices from the trade oJ New York, London, Paris and Berlin. Her pears, cherries, dried prunes acd strawberries have a national reputation, unequaled by the fruit of any other section of the .UHited States. Why? Because nature has .given her a oi . containing the necessary plant food and a climate without extremes, with moisture and sun shine which tend to produce fruit of beautiful color, firm texture and unrivaled flavor, and tier peo ple have the intelligence to tate advantage of these conditions." THOUGHT JAP WAR WAS ON. But it was Only a House Warm ing How Long Acted. Millard M. Long and bride were the victims ot a very happy surprise, Tuesday evening, at their home on Eighth and Jack son streets. While busied about the even ing work Mr. and Mrs. Long heard a long and terrific peal at the door bell, and thinking it might be Japs on the warpath, a strikers' riot or a fire. Millard ad- vYid his preUy bride to hide be hind the kitchen door while he marched boldly forward to "do or die" i 1 her defense. He cautiously opened the front door a half inch, and beholding the smiling countenance of hand some Floyd Huff decided to admit the intruder, remarking cordially, "That's just like you, old man," meaning the awful ringing of the bell. But as Huff walked into the house 20 more silent forms loomed up out ot the darkness and filed in behind him. It is the firm belief of all that Mr. Long was on the point of bolting for the back door, but happening to notice a familiar face or two he braced up, and finding that the crowd was made up of the Christian Endeavorers of the Congregational church, a soe'ety of which he is ihe es teemed president, he drew a deep breatb, smiled a little bilious smile and said weakly, "I guess you had better sit down." Then, fivding it was not the Japs, he weut to call Mrs. Long. The remainder ot the evening passed in a delightful social way with games, music and conversa tion, and in disposing of b quan tity of ice cream and cake which had been provided in advance by the guests. During the evening Rev. Albert Monosmitb, on be half of the company, presented the host and hostess with a hand some silver salad set as a slight token of the warm regard in which they are held by their friends. After several hours of merri ment the guests departed for their homes, pronouncing the occasion one ot the happiest of the season. Additional Locals. Caleb Dans and F. L. LaVaney left yesterday tor aa elk hunt in the monn- tains. Tom Yidito and Pat Stewart are to start today on a similar errand.
