At the University of Oregon, as the procession moved slowly through the campus, the students lined up and gave the soldiers cheers. There were 12 autos in the par ade, furnished free by the patri otic citizens. The veterans ap preciated their courtesy very much. At their meeting last night, Mayor Yoran delivered the ad dress of welcome to the veterans and Reverand Callison followed. Mr. Callison told what the order of the Grand Army of the Re public stood for and the lessons taught by the organization after the great conflict. Commander S. W.

Villar, a contractor at Pensacola, Fla., found an iron chest buried in the shallow waters of Bayou Chico. The chest contained Spanish doub loons and silver pieces estimated to total between $7,000 and $10,- 000 . It is believed the treasure was buried by pirates who made the bayou their rendesvous in early days.—Ex. TW O FINE DINNERS. One of the most important and most interesting events of the whole reunion was the grand free dinner given the veterans by the W. R. C, and the Ladies of the G. A. R. Both banquet rooms, one at the G. A. R. hall and the other at the W. O. W. hall, were crowded during the noon hour with the soldiers and their wives.

W ATERS OF OCEANS DO NOT MINGLE S A L L THE NO. :59 JUNCTION CUT HAS BAD FIRE Oregon Agricultural College, Corvallis, Oct. 8.—Breaking the world’s egg-laying record, hen No. C543, of the Oregon Agri cultural College poultry depart ment, was yesterday given the title of ‘ ‘the greatest hen in the world.” The fowl today laid her 284th egg within a year. This is two better than the former world’s record and three better than the United States’ record. The world’s record was made by a hen at the Ontario Agricul tural College in 1911 and the record for the United States was made by Lady Show Me, of the Missouri State Poultry Station, several months ago. The local bird has six days to go yet before her year will be up and may bring her record to 280. She was hatched on April 29, 1912, and ‘ Ixgan laying five and one-half months later. Her dam was a cross-bred Barred Plymouth Rock and White Leg- Hom and her sire was a son of her dam and a White Leghorn. Professor Dryden, who is in charge of the department, ascril>es the record to the breed ing of the hen, the constitutional vigor, which he said undoubted ly came from crossing, and to good feeding and housing.

Boles, Idaho, Sept. 21, 1913. Dear Mrs. Morss: I will try to write you a few of my Western experiences this afternoon. Please pardon me for Writing with a pencil, but I couidn’ t carry ink everywhere I went, and now I am forty miles from town without any. Cottonwood and Grangeville are the nearest towns. I am living along Divide Creek, which runs along the Salmon and Snake rivers. Am only a few miles from the Oregon line. When on top of the mountains here, I can see over into Washington, Ore gon and Montana. I like this part of the country very much. The mountains are covered with grass and pines. They are Eieautiful at sunset. Words can not picture the soft, mellow colorings of nature. I never tire of gazing at the hills, but, Oh, I get tired of climbing them. I have bought a pony and saddle, so I can ride about and enjoy myself. The pony has a colt. He is a fine little fellow and I call him Prince. Old Betty is so good to stay here and graze within a short distance. Most of the horses wander off so far and are hard to catch. I have a cow and calf also, and more sur prise still, I have also taken a ranch. There was a chance of my getting a home by taking this place, so I was either penny wise or pound-foolish. The ranch joining mine on the west sold for $1200 and is not near so good a place as mine. I thought that I could stay the fourteen months and then commute and Eiave just as much as though I had taught school this year. Have been living on my place since the 21st of July. Had a little shake cabin built which I expect to use for a wood shed as soon as I get my log house built.

Registers at 103 Years. “ Grandma” Todd, the oldest person in Lane county and one of the oldest on the Pacific coast, having passed her 103rd birth day some time ago, was among those who registered at Eugene last week. Webster Kincaid took Mrs. Todd to the courthouse and return in' his automobile. Mrs. Todd is still active for one of that advanced age and converses fluently on most of the topics that are of interest today. She will undoubtedly be the oldest woman in the state to vote at the coming election and it is doubtful if any man that old will go to the polls.—Guard. The Cottage Grove High School football team will play the Creswell High School team at this place next Friday after-* noon. Later in the season the Cottage Grove team will compete with other successful teams for Willamette Valley honors. An other lively game is assured Fri day. Salem will vote on the wet and dry question Nov. 4. The fight promises to be a warm one.
