A baseball game between teams
from Peoria and this city, at
tracted quite a crowd to the fiat
near Marvs river bridge Sunday
afternoon. The teams were very
evenly matched and with the ex-
ception of two innings, when
they took turn about going up
in the air, played very good ball.
The 'fual score was II to IA in
favor of Corvallis. If the home
team would practice, there is
material here for a frst.class
nine.
This is al inventive age and me-
chanical labor saving devices are
to be seen on every hand. The
latest thing of its kind is book
type writer that is now on trial at
the clerks office. 1t arrived last
Thursday and it is especially de-
signed for the purpose of entering
matters of record in large books.
This one does it's work splendidly
and is a space-saver as far as the
book of record is concerned and a
time-saver when it comes to enter
ing various matters that require
the time of a man. The machine
in question is made by the Fisher
Book Type Writer Co., and was Sc
cured in Portland. It is not yet
known whether it will be retained
or not.

old home in the East. A letter re-
Gently received from her indicates
that she will be more contented
with life in Oregon in the future.
She writes that since their arrival
at the old home they have expert
enced nothing but a series of storms.
On the night of their arrival there
was a severe electric storm and a
bolt of lightning struck the corner
of the house they were staying in.
The heat, too, has been almost un-
bearable at times. Everything
Mrs. Moore wrote indicates her dis
satisfaction with eastern climatic
conditions.

nett arrived last week from Wash
