NORTHWEST FOOTBALL
SITUATION THIS WEEK
Oregon Team Goes to Whitman;
Other Colleges Rest For
Coming Battles.
The Northwest Conference football
schedule is not causing much excite
ment this week at it did last, nor as
much as it will in the weeks to
come. There it not enough specula
tion over the outcome of the games.
The only conference game will be
played Saturday at Walla Walla be
tween the University of Oregon and
Whitman College. O. A. C beat Whit
man 34 to 7. Oregon lost lo Washing
ton Slate 28 to 3. and the O. A. C.
squad was trampled under last Satur
day by the same team by the score of
29 to 0; 10 it looka like a safe guess
on Oregon's winning from the Mis
sionaries by at least three touchdowns.
The University ol Oregon warriors
pasted through Albany on the morn
ing electric enroute to Walla Walla,
and are all in good condition for the
fight. They are confident, but do no)
expect to duplicate O. A. C.'s score.
Bczdck will be satitfird with a vic
tory. Other Teamt Do Not Play.
Washington playa Gonraga College,
a non-conference school, at Spokane,
hut O. A. C, Washington State, and
Idaho will rest up this week. Satur
day O. A. C. will leave for Lansing.
Michigan, whert! they meet the Mich
igan Agricultural College Oct. 30th.
On the way the train will slop every
lay at 3:00 o'clock to let the Aggies
keep in shape, and practise garnet will
he played at Chicago with Coach
Stagg't Chicago University team, and
some other big middle-west team.
Thit will give the tourists a line on
the style of play used in that section.
The University of Washington is
playing the hog again thit year, only
the big college ia not getting away
with it at well at formerly. The other
northwest teamt are not playing them.
The overgrown tchool in the north
hat an exaggerated cate of twell head,
and since Gil. Dobic's " ability ha!)
landed them eight championships
other colleges in thit section look too
small. Oregon. Idaho, and O. A. C.
would rot take garnet on the basis
offered by the Seattle tchool. Bad
feeling and the declaration of Wash
irgton that W. S. C. would not be a
lood Thanksgiving draving card
-aused that game lo leave the boards
Whitman is the only team to journey
to Seattle and the results of that
game on the 30th will be watched. In
place of the W. S C. game, the Colo
rado College team has been placed on
the Turkeyday menu, but Colorado
ha! been hopelessly put out of the
rrninr? by teams in that section al
ready, w-hile W. S. C. today presents
championship calihre, and the north
west litle will be decided on compara
tive acores against Whitman.
Coach Bailey it letting his Albany
College player! rest this week. A game
could have been scheduled against
the Eugene High School, hut with two
games in the last two weeks, and the
Pncific University game looming up
for a week from Saturday, the husky
mentor is not taking any chances on
injuries. Bailey hope! to beat the
Tore!t Grove school and Albany fans
will be treated to a game fiitht on the
30th, when that game is pulled off on
the local field.
S. I. MrDanirl went to Millersburg

THIS IS EDISON DAY
IN THE UNITEO STATES
The Thirty-sixth Anniversary
of First Suocessful Incon
descent Light.
Thirty-six years ago, on October
21st, Thomas A. Edison gave to the
world the first luccessful incandescent
electric lamp. Last year a movement
was started to celebrate October 21st
as Editon Day throughout the coun
try. Since then, thit date will be
ttamped indelably on the minds of
everyone at the greatest single
achievement of this world genius.
Up to the very day thirty-six years
ago when Edison announced the dis
covery of the new lamp the greatest
scientists and inventors in the world
said repeatedly that the incandescent
electric lamp was an impossibility.
Rut Edison proved that it could be
done, as he hat proved a hundred
other things, and gave to the world
its first commercial electric lamp
bulb.
Today. October 21 st the nation will
honor the genus who ha! done !0
much to enlarge our working day, to
banish night and thus increase the
scope of industry and art.

the part of Lane in the Santiam forest,
are being minutely described. Five
maps are being drawn which will show

Population; ?. gross taxation; o,
ownership of lands, whether held by
speculative or operative companie! or
by residents; 4. road! now in or most
urgently needed, and 5. cover may.

It is expected that Ihe proposed law.
i-' passed, will result in putting in roads
in dormant districts that are hehl back

already taxed all they can stand for
road purposes, and to these pices help
will be given. The minute compila
