Deer and Dogs.

Tuesday, a fine fourpoint
buck passed through Corvallis on
a canter. 1t came to town from
the north and passed along Fifth
street, just west of the Court
House. Those who saw the
animal say that it was a very
fine buck. Several blooded bird
dogs gave chase, but were either
called off or their wind played
out, for none of them continued
the chase far.
About ten minutes after the
animal passed through Corvallis
some hounds belonging to Mes
srs. DeAtley and Brown came
along on the track, but were
stopped near the court house.
It seems that down near Soap
Creek, where Messrs. DeAt1ey,
Brown and Frazier reside there
is a congregation of coyotes and
it is rare sport for these gentle
men to put their hounds on a
coyote track. A week or SO age
they started the dogs on coyote
trail and the varment was chased
over the mountain into Kings
Valley three times in one day
and finally succeeded in out
whiting the dogs.
Last year Mr.. DeAtley cap
tured six coyotes, but this year
has only succeeded in killing
one up to date, according to re-
ports. The supposition is that
these hounds were out after coy
otes last Tuesday when they
struck the track of the buck and
took it up. 1t is safe to say that
the deer owes its life to the fact
that this is the elese season,
otherwise somebody in Corva Ills
would have had venison 70 asst
for Christmas dinner.

Shooting Match.

On the afternoon of Christm as
day, Harvey Sargent, proprietor
of the shooting gallery of this
city, held a shooting match for
turkeys and geese on the fiat
above town. Quite a number of
our sportsmen were present and
in all about 500 shots were fired.
Clay pigeons were used in place
of live birds. Five entries were
made at thirty cents apiece for
each bird. and each contestant
was allowed five shots at clay
pigeons. The man who made
the highest score received a
ticket emitting him to turkey
or goose as the case may have
been. In case couple of con-
testants shot a draw they were
allowed to shoot it off between
themselves. The match fur
nished considerable diversion for
quite number OF men who did
not do any shooting.
It seems that success in this
case entailed considerable ankle
ty. Take the case of E. E.
Wilson, for instance: Mr.. Will
son, through some peculiar
stroke of good fortune succeeded
in securing ticket that entitled
him to a turkey. Remembering
his experiences with turkeys in
days gone by, when he stole
turkeys for his friends, for the
fun of the thing, and they in
turn "swiped' them of him, I'd
concluded that he woald have to
be very careful of his ticket, SO
he locked It up in his safe. It
is reported that he not only lock-
ed the ticket up in the safe, but
sat up all night, to watch the
/ safe. 'Tis good thing that

island is 200 square miles in
