OUR APOLOGY.

Last week THE GAZETTE contained this
local note: "E. E. Wilson and Ralph Day.
isson are victims of the law and will appear
before Judge Holgate at o'clock this even
ing to adjust their offense. A fish story
of large proportions may be expected" The
information which fathered the statement
was given us just as the forms of our paper
were being closed and made ready for press,
hence we had not time to investigate its re-
liability. Since the paper was published we
have made enquiry and learned that the
statement was substantially correct-that
the gentlemen were arrested by Deputy
Sheriff Skipton and voluntarily appeared
before Justice H. T.. Holgate in readiness to
answer any charge that might have been
preferred-but that the whole affair was
simply intended as sjosh" by their
friends who presumed their appreciation of a
practical joke would be reciprocated by the
innocent victims. An apology has been
demanded OF THE GAZETTE for its truth
full statement, and we solemnly promise
never again to tell the truth concerning the
victims of practical joke and apol-
ogize for this offense. Much sport and
some temper has been the result of the
above statement, but we believe no blood
has as yet been spilled.

OUR MOTHER TONGUE.

On Wednesday the editor of The GAZETTE
had occasion to visit the agricultural col
lege and spent profitable hour in the de.
partment of English, presided over by Prof
j. B. Horner, and was well pleased with
the qantity and quality of work done in
this important branch of study. In addi
tion to the regular text books, much theme
work is done in special note books prepared
for the classes, much of which we have
never seen excelled. The laboratory sys-
TEN, oral or written-always accompanied
by rules and reasons-is the practice. All
this is under the personal supervision OF
Prof. Horner, who has during the last
twenty years been well and favorably
known in Oregon as a thorough, efficient
and popular teacher, and who has twice
been an editor-once on a newspaper and
the other time on magazine. The room,
which contains portraits of authors, scenes
from Shakespeare and numberless other
literary views, is by far the best equipped
room In English on the Pacific coast, and
with its present growth will in time be
second to none on the continent. Both the
teacher and students appear to be enthusi
astic in their efforts to master the language
of the mother tongue.

The first game of foot ball ever played in
our city was played last Saturday afternoon
between the Albany college and the state
agricultural college elevens. At about
eleven o'clock the members of the Albany
team came over in hacks and were met by
Messrs. Bloss and Burnett of the o. A. Z.
team. AS soon as the horses had been TAX
en- care of the men were escorted to the
Cauthorn hall where dinner was prepared
for them. At one o'clock the college band
marched through town playing few lively
quicksteps and then all repaired to the col
lege parade grounds The general public
was charged admission to the grounds and
tickets were sold at: ten cents apiece. This
was done to defray expenses. Fully 5OO
people witnessed the contest. Tin horns
of all sizes AMI tones, some very nicely dec

game and amid the squeaking of horns and

engineer, and in filling my duties as such,
often become overheated, while the strain
on my engine is very great, and has caus-
ed me much suffering. These pains were
of such frequent recurrence, that | feared
kidney trouble. Physicians could do moth
ing for me. and often, after catching cold
l would be laid up and lose day or two's
work. About year ago l caught severe
cold and had to go to bed. The pain in
my back was terrible and / could get no
relief. l sent to drug store for some
kind of hniment and the druggist said
Chamberlain,s Pain Balm was as good as
anything. L had the Pain Balm well rub
bed in across the small of my back, then
wet flannel cloth and bound it across the

the pain had vanished, and the next day
went to work and have not lost a day
since. Yours Resp, B. w. Bradley, En-

THE MARINE BAND.

This organizations progress under the
tutorship of Prof. David Rosebrook is quite
satisfactory and it is pleasure to note that
they are receiving merited encouragement
at the hands of those in legal authority over
the city. At its last meeting the city
council granted them the free use of the
hall in the old fire department building and
now the boys are comfortably located in
commodious quartors for the study and
practice of one of the most soul.inspiring
Prof. Rosrbrook has been in
charge of the band as musical director for
perhaps month, yet in that short time
very decided improvement is noticeable in
their manner of performance, tone, etc., as
evidenced in the open-air concert rendered
Court House park a week ago last Sum
day, mention of which we. forgot in last
weeks GAZETTE The band, if they con.
tinue to improve and conduct themselves
as they should, ought to receive little
pecuniary assistance from our music loving
public, either in the way of monthly con-
tribution or public benefit of some sort,
and THE GAZETTE stands in readiness to as
sist any movement tending towards the es-
tablishment of frst-class musical organi-
zation in our midst. From the writer's ex-
perience in the past, it is known that
thoroughly first-rate bands have been sup.
ported in towns no larger than Corvallis,
and while great deal depends upon the
united and individual efforts of the mem.
bers to inspire confidence, all necessary as
sistance can be secured in this home of
musical culture and refinement
Next Sunday at 8 p. m. the band will
render the following program from the
balcony of the Occidental hotel:

THE GAME.

At l:45 the Albany men came on the
field and took the ball for practice under
the directions Of [. N. Irvine. At :55 the
o. A. C. team made their appearance.
Albany won the toss up and Capt. WASH
burn desired to take the ball and o. A. g..
chose the west goal. Promptly at O'Clock
p. m. Referee irwin called play and Albany
started with V wedge, Washburn carry
ing the ball. Washburn fumbled and Bur-
nett grabbed the pig-skin and carried it
over the line for the first touchdown.
The kick for goal failed. Score to 0.

Albany brought the ball to the center of
the field and again tried the V wedge with
a gain of five yards. The bali was passed
to Washburn who was tackled hard by
Bloss that he dropped the ball sand Burnett
again made pretty run of sixty yards,
making the second touch down. Terrell
made successful goal kick. Score 10 to O.
Time five minutes.
Again Albany tried the trick, but the
ball was passed forward by Turner and was
given to the o. A. C's. on the spot. Atthe
line up Burnett made dash around the left
end for fifteen yards, quickly followed by

Burnett carried the ball and made the
third touchdown The kick for goal
failed. Score IA to O. After this the time
of touch-downs was not kept.
Albany again come to the field with their
s.all beef and no science" and used the fly
ing wedge but to no advantage for the o. A.
C's. made such vigorous rush that Albany
lost a ward. On the next line up Phillips,
the o. A. G. right tackle, made one his
famous dives under Albany's rush line and
secured the ball. Again Nash was sent
around the left end and supported by good
blocking made the fourth touch down.
Terrell again kicked goal. Score 20 to 0.
ALBANY again lost the ball at the center
by passing it forward. Burnett bucked
center for fifteen yards, but was finally
brought down by Washhurn. The old

THE HEART OF THE TREE.


What does he plant who plants tree
He plants the friend of sun and sky
He plants the flag of breezcs free.
The shaft of beauty towering high
He plants n home TO heaven anigh;
For song and mother-croon OF bird
In hushed and happy twilight heard
The treble OF heavens harmony
These things he plants who plants tree.
What does he plant who plants tree
He plants cool shade and tender rain,
And seed and bud of davs to be.
And years that fade and flush again;
He plants the glory of the plain
He plants the forests heritage;
The harvest of a coming age;
The Joy that unborn eyes shall sec
These things he plants who plants tree.
What does he plant who plants a tree?
He plants, in sap, and leaf and wood
In love of home and loyalty
And far.cast, though Of civic good
His blessing on the neighborhood.
When in the hollow CT His hand
Holds all the growth of all our land
A nations growth from sea TO sea
Stirs in his heart who plants tree.
