M. Hoisington farm near Lewisville. 0. A. C. and U. of 0. Will Have Lively Battle November 20. What will perhaps be the greatest toot ball battle ever staged in Oregon will be that to be played at Eugene on November 20, between the teams of the Oregon Agricultural college and the state university. The eastern crusade of the former, in which it tri umphed over the Michigan Agricul tural college, has put the team on a perch as a popular idol not only with lovers of sport in this state, but in the middle west and east, where the football ot the far-west has long been considered very mediocre. It is the avowed intention of the university team to demolish the perch and bring victory to its own home. But, that being as it may, there is a wonderful amount of interest being developed in the contest among Dallas people. The university team has a good rep resentation ot Dallas athletes on its lineup in Snyder and Hoisington, and perhaps that adds enthusiasm to the local followers of the gridiron game. Arrangements have been started, al though not as yet perfected, for the operation of a special train between MoMinnvilIe and Eugene, at the in stigation of local sportsmen, for the accommodation of those in this part or the valley who wish to see the big game. The special will come through Dallas, thence to Indepen dence and on to Eugene, where the season's big game will bring out the great athletic rivalry between the two schools. It is said that the odds slightly favor the victorious Aggie team because ot its recent Michigan victory, but the Oregon team does not take the slightest stock in that. The game will be well worth seeing at any rate, and the many Dallasites who attend will appreciate the efforts toward securing a special train. ing herself to be the wife of Simeon Goss, supposed bachelor, who commit ted suicide about a year ago near McCoy, has advised J. K. Sears, ad ministrator for the estate, of her ex istence and requests the estate, val ued at about (f&00. The claims of the women will be thoroughly inves tSgated, although the administrator believes it to be legitimate.

One often hears young men say that there is no chance for them to take up land like their fathers did and get a start in life that way. This is what one Dallas boy has done, which goes to prove that the chances are not quite all gone yet. A year, ago last April Linza Dennis, of the Oak dale district, went to Lincoln county, Colorado, and took 320 acres of land under the desert land act. Last win ter he built a sod shanty to live in, bought a team of mules and built a small barn for them. Last spring he sowed two acres to alfalfa, which has done exceptionally well, put in five acres of sod to sugarcane for fodder, which has made a fine crop, planted five acres to beans, which have brought him $28 per acre, and plant ed thirty acres of corn, on which he has raised nine hundred bushels of corn, some of which took first prize at the county fair there. All his prize ears were over 15 inches in length. Now he has a daily mail right by the door. Mr. Dennis has built a good small dwelling house this summer. His place. will bring him about ffa.000, when he proves up a year from next April, judging from the way land is selling all around him. Andy Toby, who is well-known in Dallas, has taken a ranch near him and has done nearly as well. Who can beat it for a year and a halt of time, tie is a mile and a half from a post office and store, and Ins nearest neighbor is a doctor. His postofnee is Hendrick. NOTICE.
