A SENTIMENTAL POET.

Corvallis has poet. At the State

Portland, the college had collection of
poems, essays, etc., on exhibition from the
third year class in literature. In this col.
lection was poem nicely written and en-
cased i'll a covering of celluloid neatly tied
with bows of delicate colored ribbon. On
the outside cover was inscribed the title of

everyone of whom spoke in the highest
praises-of it's binding. The penmanship
too, was all that could be asked for. The
poem was on the sentimental order and if it
didn't break all former records it was no
fault of the author. Why, even Mrs. Ella
Wheeler Wilcox. who, by the way is no
slouch on sentiment, would have blushed
with shame had some of her love sick pas
sages been compared with the babblings of
this young man. This poem should be pub.
Gshed in morocco bound, gilt edged, red

loss attendant upon such business ven-

author that his success would be found

MARY'S PEAK VS.. MT. HOOD.

Never before in the history Of Corvallis
was such..a splendid spectacle presented to the
vision Of the admirers of beauty in nature
as Mary's Peak presented at sunrise on
Tuesday morning of this week. The gar
ments of night which had enshrouded the
snow capped peak during the darkness
were being rolled away into canyons by old
Sol, as he arose fresh and. bright from the
eastern horizon. The faint shadows in the
ravines were being blended into the most
delicate hues as they emerged from their
covering into the brightness and took
flight toward the crest of the mountain top.
The dark blue line Of the fir timber cover
ing its sides served as background
which brought clearly into view each con-
tour Of its rugged slopes and enabled the
beholder to more distinctly discover the
changes of its exquisite coloring. The
beauty of Mt. Hood is the pride of every
true Oregonian heart, but its grandeur sank
into insignifcance when compared to the
scene presented by Mary's Peak on the
morning in question.

medicine for it right along. His recovery,
however, is doubtful

OUR BOYS CHAMPIONS.

That the o. A. G. foot ball team are en-
titled to the claim of championship of the
state there is no doubt, and at present their
banner is unfurled to the breezes as such.
They won every contest in which they have
engaged, have challenged both the Pacific
university team Of Forest Grove and the
Multnomahs, who were on Monday defeated
by the Californians. From the former they
have received q refusal to play, and it is
probable that the same reply, If any, will be
received from the latter, to whom chal.
lenge was issued and delivered to Manager
Ayers during the performance at the Mar
guam Grand Monday evening. However
should any team in the state feel disposed te
dispute the claim the O. A. G. boys are
more than willing to test their merits on any
field at any time. They are the champions

COLLEGE NOTES.

! President Bloss spent few days last week
in Portland where he had gone to deliver
lecture on the o. A. G.
School reopened last Tuesday for the win
ter term and the attendance is above the
average for the season of the year. Nearly
all of the old students are back and few
new ones have been enrolled.
Messrs. Will Bloss and Brady Burnett
went to Portland last Saturday to see the
foot ball game between the Multnomah and
Stanford teams. These gentlemen report a
very good time and are especially pleased
with the sociability Of the members of the
Multnomah club.
Station Bulletin No. 27 is now being print
led and will be ready for distribution in
short time. This bulletin is by Prof. Moses
Craig and treats Of ''Plant diseases; their
cause and prevention" 1t contains thirty
two pages and the illustrations are very fine.
A bulletin by Prof. FL. Il. French, on ''Pig
Feeding" is also being prepared and will be
ready in about month. These bulletins
will be sent free to any one wanting them.
The fat COW raised at the college created
a great deal Of excitement but Prof. Faench
has been equally successful in raising other
live stock. Last Tuesday he killed four
hogs averaging 25O pounds apiece; the
largest weighing 266 pounds. There seems
to be nothing remarkable in that; but when
we stop to consider that they were only eight
months old the full force of the statement is
apparent. Experiments were made in the
feeding Of these hogs. After these expert
ments commenced they gained about one
and one-h half pounds day. Profs. Bloss,
French, Thompson and Clark each bought
one of these porkers.
The o. A. G. team challenged the Pacific
University team to play foot ball but the
Pacifcs say they won't play. They gave no
reasons. The Multnomahs have also been
challenged to play for the championship Of
Oregon, but up to this time no answer has
been received. If some team don't play the
boys for the championship they will claim it
anyway for it will be remembered that they
have never been beaten and they have
played only Oregon teams. Surely they
have as much right to claim it as the Multi
nomahs for they have played only teams
from other states. Another fact which is
not generally known is that the Athletic As
socation of the O. A. G. is an incorporated
association and they are therefore entitled
to the same privileges Of any athletic club in
the state.
