Mrs. William Holgate, formerly

few days ago to attend the bedside
of her mother, Mrs. Gray, who has

From the way things look at
present it is 2 10 1 bet that the
University of Oregon will have an
athletic aggregation that will be
invineible this year. 1t is doubt
full if any college on the coast will
have team to equal them.
The farmer boys seem to agree
in believing that as they produce
the food for China pheasants during
the entire year, they are justified in
anticipating the date of the open
season little. This is not in con-
formity with the ideas of city sports
and is really too bad.
Brother Campbell, of the Eugene
Guard, in a recent issue refers to
"Toledo, Benton county" The
editor of the Guard must still be
living in the past. There was
time when Toledo was in Benton
county, but that time was years
ago ana Toledo is now the county
seat of Lincoln county.
Robt. H., the two-year-old colt
of Robert Huston, of this city,
easily won the pacing race for his
class at the state fair Monday for
the produce stake. There were
four prizes offered for this race and
best three entries, consequently, as
Robert n. took the first two heats
out of three, he was awarded the
first and fourth prizes.
Sam Thurston, the famous o A C
football player, who left Corvallis
early last spring with the purpose
of joining the English army in the
Transvaal, has been visiting in this
city for the last few days. He will
attend the U of o this year. He
would have much preferred 10 re-
turn to o A @, but the abolishment
of athletics deferred him.
It is stated that the fruit cam
ming industry is rapidly increasing
its scope of operations in Oregon.
This is very gratifying and there is
every reason to- believe that cam
merry in this county that would put
up fruit and vegetables during
their season and meats, etc., at
other periods of the year, would
have a most profitable field for
operations. Beyond doubt it would
prove one of the best investments
ever made in Benton county. All
classes would profit by it.
