Just how the fire originated is not known although the suppos tion is that rags uced in cleaning a lamp had been left in the closet, spontaneous combustion result ing. The closet was a mass of flames before the fire was discov ered, the great heat bursting the transom over the door. The closet was in a suite of rooms belonging to Misses Jessie and Gertie Davidson of lone, and Miss Faye Roderick, the well known basketball girl, of Irrigon. All of the clothing belonging to the three girls was hanging in this large, roomy closet and their trunks and telescopes were also stored therein. Everything was completely destroyed leaving the girls with only the apparel they were wearing at the time. The interior of oue 100m was badly damaged, tbe plastering torn off and havoc wrought in general. The remarkable feature in the case is that there was practically no wafer in the Hall save that in the kitchen which was cariied in by three-fourth inch pipes for cooking purposes. The efforts of the fire department were there fore unavailing, as water had to be carried by hand lrom the kitchen upstairs to extinguish tbe flames. It is probabe that no further delay will occur in sup plying the Hall with plenty of piping: and faucets, which is, of course, the intention. It is fortunate the affair of Friday was not more serious in its consequences, as under cue circumstances it might have been a shocking calamity. of these children are "not engaged in work of any kind, but in many cists are loaming idly about town. The school directors of district No. five in this city hnve taken tne matter in- nana and have ap pointed City Marshal W. A. Mc Clain to round up these children not attending school and discover the reason why they do not at tend school. The other school authorities-here have aroused to this deplorable condition exist ing and immediate steps will be taken to see that tbe trnant child ren attend some school or other. OAC EASY WINNER.

The entire production is the same that made such a re markable impression at the Acad emy ot Music at Chicago. The scenery is newly painted ana forms . an endless variety of picturesque places. Tbe play tells a story of intense interest to all classes. While in co wise a problem play, still the theme treats of a girl's contempt for the English aristocracy.

Corvallis and Albany Schools, We Want Your Business Modes Grocery For Business Advertise It is stated that so far mvesti pation has failed to show that here is a single'child in Corvallis between the ages of 9 to 14 years who is not in school or profitably employed as by law required, This is in striking contrast to ao item in Saturday's Albany Herald which says: A most startling situation and one wnicn aemancs immediate attention on the part of the school authorities of Albany has been found to exist. A careful can vass ot the children of scuool aee in this cilv bs revealed the fact that nearly 18 per cent of th total number of children ot school age in Albanyare not attending school. 1 Of the 850 or more children school a?e in Albany, there are 150 under 16 years ot age an above nint years, who are at tending no school in this city The further deplorable fact comes ko light that a large proportion In a snappy game of football on OAC's field, Sa'urdav after noon, tbe Agrics won over the Astoria Athletic Club team b the decisive score of 26 to o. The game was clean, there was no bad feeling on either side, and a large crowd was present. From tbe start it was apparent that the visitors were slow, al though they showed greater strength than OAC. At no time, however, was tbe OAC goal in danger save once, , when Astoria managed to recover a punt on OAC's 20-yard line. For the local eleven Gagnon, Bennet, Wolfe, Jamison, Rine hart, Emily and Dobbins perhaps accomplished tbe most brilliant results for OAC, although every man in the bunch played fast. scientific ball.
