DO Some Good Work.

/
The Oregon Weekly, the University OF
Oregon paper, has this TO say, touching
the football game set for next Saturday
The football season Of 1900 will be for.
mally opened next Saturday afternoon.
when the Varsity lines up against the
team Of the Capital Athletic Club, Of
Salem. This will be by far the best ex.
hibition Of sport ever seen in Eugene,
for an examination as to the respective
merits Of the oposing elements shows
the chances are about even. The Salem
team contains some OF the strongest
players in the state among them may
be mentioned "spike" Young, former
Multnomah Guard Gault, who played
on o. A. G. in '97 and captained Pacific
University last year; and Reuben Sand
ers, the Chemawa full back; Chauncey
Bishop, young brother OF the Varsity
veteran, Jessup, who played on U. 0.'s
pioneer team, and Harry Olinger, for.
merly Of Willamette University, will
also be found in the lineup. Jarves,
Judd and Williams, three heavy men,
are trying for line positions, SO the club
men should bring up most formidable
representation.
The Varsity mer are gradually round
ing into form and ought to put up a
good, snappy game on saturnay. Coach
Kaarsberg has been drilling the men on
the finer points Of play, and he is pleased
at their rapid progress. Wagner, who
has been on the shelf for a week, will
probably be able to play, although his
condition is not the best, Edwards will
reaPpear today after an absence Of three
weeks. He will probably be able to re-
sumo his playing, although it is not
thought that he will be in form by Sat
urday. Waddell has discontinued play.
ing for tina season, but the squad has
been strengthened by the addition of
several new candidates. Among them
are two Of the renowned Templetons,
who have helped to make U. .. athletics
famous. Goodall, promising candidate
for guard, and McClanahan, the veteran
q uarter-back. About twenty-five men
have been showing up for daily work
and some exciting practice games have
been played.
Coach Kaarberg is confident that his
men will give good account Of them.
selves, but is OF the opinion that the
game will be close and hotly contested.
The Salem team was out for practice
last evening, and drilled on the signals
for the first time, jarvis, who arrived
yesterday, taking hand in the game.
The boys are confident that by the
last OF the week they can put up game
that will give their opponents something
TO do.
1t is probable that a practice game
will be played with the Chemawa tea N
some day this week, though il wac found
impracticable TO have it today. 1t would
be extremely difficult for the members
OF the Salem team 10 get away from
their business for the half day necessary
to 90 down to Chemawa for a practice
game, and it is hoped that the Chemawa
boys will be accommodating 10 the ex.

her absence and they all seemed to

partially upright position and with a
severe wound in the forehead. The axe

SD Der month, and under a decision rem
dered in September last. if the soldier IN
CURED the fatal disability while holding
the rank of commissioned officer. the par
eni's rate of pension may be higher than
Sl2. according to the rank the son held
The effect of late decisions OF the Depart
ment of the Interior Is that all pension
claims of dependent parents filed since
June 27. 1890. must be regarded as made
under the general law as amended by
Section 1 of the act of 1890, and most re-
Gently it is held that the fee law OF 1854
does not apply TO such claims and that
the fee therein may be only $40, as provided
by the act of 1890 for claims made under
that act.
j. NJ, Bridgeport, O.-The matter of
the soldiers income from any source does
not enter into the question of tito to in
valid pension under the act of June %,
1890. The act of March 2. 1895, fixing
the minimum rate of invalid pension at
S6 per month, applied to general law pen
sions; the act of 1890 itself had already
prescribed the same minimum rate for in
valid pensions Hereunder.
IL. A. c., Warrington, Fiat is hardly
likely that any bill to continue the pensions
of invalid pensioners re-enterlng the mill
tary or naval service of the United States
will become q law. The original funda-
mental principle of granting invalid PEN
sions was and still is that the recipients
are unfit for service by reason Of physical
disability.
L. A. s., Carthage, Mo.-The s36 rate
is allowed only in case the amputation
of the arm is at or above the elbow joint
1t is not required that the amputation be
precisely at the joint.
III. B., Winchester, N. R.-When you
write letters to a newspaper you should
have confidence enough in the editor to

should be referred to the Congressman
from your District.
