Or O. A. 6. Field Today.

What promises to be one of
the most hot1y contested field
meets ia the intercollegiate
series, will be held or agricul-
tural field this afternoon al. 3
O'Clock. The farmers will have
to earn every point they get from
the visitors, who include in their
team some of the best athletics
in the state. The basketball
team from Dallas scored the only
victory over the local team this
season. Today's games will de-
eide which college has the stronger
team on the track and field.
Admirers of the agricultural
lads believe that, if pressed, they
can excel their performances of
last Saturday. Those familiar
with the capabilities of the Dallas
aggregation say that the locals
will have to beat the records made
against McMinnville, or Dallas
will lead in the scoring.
Trainer Trine does not develop
losing teams, however, and he
has some excellent material, sc
lovers of athletic sports may en-
joy some surprises this afternoon.

Remarkable Animal Act.

With the Norris & Rowe's Big
Shows which are to appear here
soon, is remarkable animal act,
which is so entirely out of the
ordinary that the press through
out the country have been more
than lavish in its praise. The
great act, which is the cause of
SO much comment, is the con-
gress of educated seals and sea
lions, which they are presenting
this season. 1t is almost beyond
the power of reason to believe
that seals and sea lions, which
have never been accredited with
any more sense than to be able to
lazily pull themselves upon a
rock, or to dine upon a fish din
ner, can be made to perform
maneuvers and exceedingly intri-
cate tricks at the beck and call
of human being. They have
been taught to skip ropes and to
balance and juggle all sorts and
sizes of arcticles, such as lighted
torches, hoops and balls, and
they even play upon musical in
strume nts. They have also a
clown among them, who enters
into the humor OF his actions
with as much zest as a human
being. This is positively one of
the most novel acts given by any
tented exhibition. These per-
forming amphibians will be seen
in the grand street parade which
will leave the show grounds.

May Revolutionize Football.

American college football bid:
fair to be revolutionized next fall
if the intercollegiate football
rules committee carries into effect
a regulation which it now has
under consideration. This rule
provides for nothing less than
that the bali has to pass through
the hands of only two men bS-
fore being regarded as in play.
At present it Is necessary for It TO
go through the hands of three
iilea.
BY the proposed rule the Center
Can snap the ball to any man Oh
the team, who may then rush
With it. It will be possible,
therefore, for the quarterback to
carry the ball, an important In:
novatioa, and because Of the fact
that any man may take the pig
skin without the quarterback's 3
previous assistance. All sorts of
puzzling combinations will be
feasible. Indeed, in the opinion
of experts, football under these
conditions would be an entirely
new game tor the first season, at
least, and would resolve itself
largely into a question, "Who's
got the ball?"
With this regulation in effect
the present evils of mass play,
which have aroused such epposi-
ton, Iwould, it is believed, be
largely done away with, and a
more open and less dangerous
style of play come into effect.

Obituary.

Mary Alice Winkle, who died at her
home on the Island south of Corvallis,
April 26th, was born in Benton county
near Monroe, Aug. 26, 1872, and grew to
womanhood in that vicinity.
In 1891. She was united in marriage
to Gus Winkle Of Corvallis, who with
two bright little children, the eldest a
daughter of II and the youngest son of
5, are now bereft of one who was ever a
faithful wife and devoted mother. Her
parents are W. III. and r. w. Levaugh
who with q number of brother and sis
ters reside in Linn county near Harris
burg.
Mrs. Winkle has large circle OF re1a
tives in the south end of Benton, amongst
whom are some Of the most representa-
tive people of the county. She was a
member of the Christian Church of Har.
risburg, having united with that church
about four years ago. She loved the
church of her choice, was consistent
Christian and jealous worker in the
church. And in all things, in her daily
conduct, her maternal instructions and
her dealings with those surrounding her
home circle, she tried to exemplity the
life which the Great Master las taught us
all to follow; always remembering that
we are liable to
.Err in human, kindness -i-,-..-.~
And forget that we are dust
II we miss the law of kindness - =-,- .
In our struggle to be just.
Snowy wings of peace shall cover
All the plain that hides away $50
When the weary watch is over
And the soul has passed away"
Mrs. Winkle was q member in good
standing of the Degree of Honor of Har-
risburg under whose auspices the beauti-
fnl and impressive funeral obsequies was
performed.
A large number of relatives and friends
mourn the untimely loss of one who was
faithful wife and mother, an Affection
ate daughter and loving sister. The
floral gifts offered at the grave were very
beautiful and in great profusion. These
and many other gracious acts of kindness
are greatly appreciated by the bereaved
family, who met around Alice's grave on
that sad but beautiful day.
"Oh that touch Of childish faith
A ray of Heavenly bliss
Could come to every weeping heart
In such an hour as this
At the great and final judgment
When the hidden comes to light,
When the frieuds which death hath
parted
Shall again in bliss unite.
At the bidding of our Savior.
Come ye blessed to my right
What gathering of the loved ones
| When we'll meet each other there"

healtbiest boom that has ever visited
that great mining camp. In fact, it
may be said that it is not boom, but
good, sound, healthy, natural result
of legitimate mining backed wit b splen
did systematic organization. There,
within radius of fifty miles in every
direction, is the greatest zinc pro6uc.
ing district in all the world, the METAL
being distributed over the entire ter

paying mine is doubtless more favor.
able than in any other known mining
camp of the kind. New aud very mod
