Mrs. Miles Starr has in ber yard
in this city a fij tree that has just

monial to the delightful climate and
remarkable productiveness of Ore

So large is the enrollment at the
Corvallis public schools that besides
Mrs. Du Moulin and Miss Edna
Groves, who were recently elected
to take charge of the new rooms
that have been added, making now
lb teachers, it is thought that two
more instructors will ' have to be
added to the force about Christmas
time. Never has Corvallis had
such a number of pupils snrolled as
now. The fact is another unmis
takable s;gn of the steady growth of
the city.
The dramatic entertainment giv- '
n by Prof. Orr of Pacific Univer- I
- . . , , . , , . , i
sity, ssnsted by the talented young
violinist, Miss Cornelia Barker, of
Portland, at the college chapel, Fri
day evening, is said to have been
the highest class entertainment Riv
en there in a loner time. The im
personations by Prof. Orr were ex
cellent, while the playing of Miss
Barker elicited the heartiest ap
plause. A large audience attended
the entertainment which was given
for the benefit of the Y. M. C. A.
Fred Buchanan, an enterprising
and successful young farmer ofJna
vale, has just had a large amount
of plumbing done on his farm, wa
ter being piped all over the place,
where needed, a large gasoline en
gine having been purchased and
installed for the purpose. This is
an ideal farm home, and Mr. Bu
chanan's thrift and progressiveness
should be an incentive to other
farmers to make their farm homes
as attractive and convenient as
means will allow. There is no in
vestment that will yield better re
turns and no surer or better way of
keeping the young folks on the
farm than bv making it as attrac
tive as possible.
"Bill" Williams of Airhe was
Corvallis visitor, Saturday, an i at-
tended the OAC-WiilameUe foot-
ball, game. ;;,;
. The famous comedians, Murray
& Mack, ia toe biggest musical
production of -their career,' ' "Tiih
Sunny Side of Broadway," will be a
welcome offering at the opera house
on December 2nd. . J he couipavv
numbers forty people, of wnooa 30
are gins. . . . .
W. E. Nankeville has always
maintained that t ae best is none too
good for the public, and if by any
possible chance he can better his
companies, he never fails to do so.
It is to this policy that be attri
butes the wonderful success of
Human Hearts" witu the theatre-
going public.
The beautiful play, "Human
Hearts," leaves a favorable impres
sion wherever it is preseo ted. Its
naturalness disarms criticism, the
spectator yielding' himself to its
power to make him laugh or cry,
as the case may te. Its pathos is
effec'.ive; its mirth irresistible, and
its dramatic situations strong.
"What Makes a DesiraOle and
Potential, Citizen" was the sub
ject of a splendid address delivered
Friday night by Dr. J. R. N. Bel,
at S edd station, at toe Good Cit -
z-nship rally which has oeeu i-
progress there the past week, under
the auspices of the United Presby
terian church. Many . prominei.i
spnabers Dave participated in the
rally, including Governor Cnamber-
lain. Dr. Kerr of OAC, President
Campbell of U. of O., J. H. Acker-
man, Dr. Bell and Judge Fraser.
The rally has been under the direc
tion of Rev H. C. Marshall and
h-s been a very successful and in
ppi irg meeting, attended by large
crowds.
An excellent company produced
"Under Southern Skies" at the
Corvallis opera house, Thursdxy
evening, the largest audience of the
season being present una venting i s
appreciation in frequent bursts of
app.ause. The company is evenly
balanced, the work of every indi
vidual in the cast being clever and
true to life. The emotional part
played by " Hiss Lela Crofton" de
serves mention, as does that of her
father, "Major Crofton." However,
when an entire compaov does sucr.
satisfactory work it is but fair to'
say that the company gave entire
satisfaction and is the best that has
played in Corvallis this season.
Manager Groves deserves the thanks
of all theatre-goers for the excellent
entertainment given. -

In mentioning the football game at
Kufene a week ago Saturday, the Junc
tion ny limes conclude by saying:
"The crowd as orderly and good natur
ed, and while the Oregon team treated
their guests with the greatest courtesy,
the undercurrent and chagrin of defeat
smarted and some of the boys gave vent
to tears. Eugene was all "broke up"
and the death of the most prominent citi
zen would not have caused such wide
spread grief, and the only solace is the
fact that this is the first game that the
AKrics baye won in the past ten years.''

Corvallis should lose no time in join
ing the movement for the extermination
of rats, as a preventive of the spread of
bubonic plague. Albany has taken the
matter up and all river towns in the val
ley have been requested to join in the
war against these rodents. The Corvallis
health officers should take soma action
in the matter, at once, as it ia better to
be on the safe side in a case where sucb
serions consequences might result from
neglect. The plague is in Seattle and a
desperate war is 00 in Portland to pre
vent it breaking oat there. It is feared
tbat when the river boats begin their an.
nual rnn to up river points, rats may be
carried to the river towns and the plague
be thus spread. It is no time for neglect.

The OAC team is a strong one, both in
offense and in defense. The players are
not veterans. On the other band they
are almost without exception new men
on the team. Only one man is playing
his fonrth year on the squad. A second
nas piayea lor tnree years ; six men are
in their second season . and the other
three made their initial appearance this
eeason. With a nacleas of eight men
from last season's eleven and his three
new players, Coach Norcross has pnt ont
a team which would be a credit to any
institution in the west. Saturday's vic
tory far the "Agrics" gives the OAC team
a strong claim on the Northwest cham
pionship. Only two elevens, Whitman
and OAC, remain undefeated and unless
one or the other is defeated the two will
probably meet to decide which shall be
champion of the Northwebt for the sea

A writer in the Weekly Aberration, a
newspaper published by lunatics in the
asylum at Salem, and coming from Ben
ton county, gives the following reasons
for his detention : "I met a young widow
with a grown stepdaughter and the widow
married me. Then my father, who was
a widower, met my sttpdanghter and
married har. Tbat made my wife the
mother-in-law of her father-in-law, and
made my stepdauehter my mother and
my father my stepson. Then my step
mother, the stepdaughter of my wife, had
a son. He waa also the son of my wife's
stepdaughter, and therefore ber grand
son. That made me grandfather to my
stepbrother. . Then my wife had a son.
My mother-in-law, the stepsister of my
son, is also his grandmother because he
ia her stepson's child. My father is the
brother-in-law of my child, because his
stepsister is his wife. ' I am the brother
of my own son, who is also the child of
my step-grandmother. I am also my
mother's brotherinlaw, mv wife ia ber
own chila's aunt, my son is my father's
nephew, and Fm my own grandfather,
and tbat is why lam in the asylum."

In a decidedly one-sidsd contest, the
OAC eleven defeated the Willamette
University in a game of football on the
OAC field, Saturday, the score oeing 49 -to
0 in favor of Norky's men. The score
at the end of the first half was 27 to 0.
The visitors Bimply did not get a "look
in," while the playiagof the Orange men
was all that even the most ardent ad
mirers could desire. The game fully
demonstrates, the fact tbat OAC has a
right to the championship on account of
har superior atreagth and skill and that
no accidents of "football fortune'' is re
sponsible for the splendid record the
Agrics have made this eeason.
A case of the most brazen sort of shop
lifting occurred iri the big, busy store of
S. L. Kline, Saturday. A woman stroll
ed about the store, taxing advantage of
the immense "sale crowd" to steal. She

loitered at the fur counter she was ac
costed by Mr. Kline. A package was
under her arm and on being abruptly
askod by Mr. Kline "What bave you
there?" the lemale replied "That is some
goods I got at another store; maybe you
would like to ses it?" On being assured
that he would the woman unrolled tb e
goods, displaying a remnant of cloth
bearing Mr. Kline a marks and tags. The
owner accused the thief of her crime and
she hastily assured him that she waa
willing to pay tor the goods and say no
more about it. She paid the bill and
was then told to leeve and never return.

"Human

Night.

The idyl of tne Arkansas hills, .
"Human Hearts" will be the at.
traction at the opera bouse Wed
nesday night. This famous play
ntver fails to please the large au
dieoces that always greet its pro-
duction. The company is firstclasa
in every particular, and it is pro
mised that never before has this
beautiful play been so well pre
sented. "Human Hearts" gives a,
pure, wholesome lesson that touc!(
es the heartstrings in the pathetic
scenes, and exeites laughter in the
humorous ones. The comedy and
pathos are so well mixed that the
audience is in tears one moment
and convulsed with laugfhter the
next. "Human Hearts" is not a
stranger to Corvallis theatregoers,
and that its p:oductson will be
welcomed by an overflowing
house is almost a foregone con
clusion. Reserve seats now selling.
