although they carried over a good many from
the previous week and the decline of last week
was mostly regained. There 4.400 cattle

good quality cattle sold fully up to the high point
of last week The larger. share of the offerings
were steers of 500 to 100 lbs The good quality
yearlings changed hands at 81 to $4.1O and the
bulk of the fairly good yearlings sold from s3.2J
to S3.75.
The heavier weight stockers of good kuality
sold from $3.75 to $40. All weights of steer,

usual slow sellers at So. so to S3.2j There was
a brisk trade on feeding cows and heifers and
prices ranged from $225 to $3.25 with the

Last Meet of Season.

The track and field contest be-
tween the teams from o A c and
Albany college, which takes place
this afternoon on Agricultural
field, is the last of the series of
meets scheduled for this season
in which the agriculturists take a
part. While the visitors have
met no other teams this year, and
it is therefore difficult to know
their strength, it is safe to say
that this afternoons contest will
be close and exciting. Albany
won the meet last May by a very
small margin and her team this
year is composed of practically
the same athletes. The visitors
are strong in the distance races
and hurdles, and will likely get
majority of the points in these
events. Torbet is fast in the
sprints, but Williams should take
first honors in the 100 and 22o-
yard dashes, and if Moores is in
condition lie will probably lead
to the tape in the 5o-yard event.
Morrison and Coates are first class
performers. The former is es.
pecia1ly strong in the hammer
and discus throws, while the
struggle between Coates anc
ICathey in the hurdles and broad
Jump will make these events es-
pecially interesting.
| While conceding the strength
lof the visitors, the GAZETTE
|picks the farmers for the winners

Road Almost Assured.

That good business men are in
terested in the Eugene-Corvallis-
Portland railroad, the enterprise
being fathered by Promoter H. S.
Wallace, there is no further
doubt. There will be an attempt
made to interest New York capi-
talists in the venture.
To this end Adam Wilhelm, of
the we'll known firm of Wilhelm
& Sons, warehousemen and mill
men of this valley, will shortly
visittthe metropolis of the coun.
try. He intended to start Mon
day, but owing to the incomple-
ton of a few details Of business,
was unable to start.
In an interview over the phone
Monday Mr.. Wilhelm said:
Everything looks we'll for the
road. Corvallis is a little slow
in coming to the mark, but it is
only a matter of a few days until
all the details in that city will be
settled and l will be able to start.
| will go to New York City in
the interest of the project and ex-
pect to be able to report that the
road is an established fact. It
will be good thing for the ter
ritory through which it will pass,
as a conrectiou with that district
is what you call a long felt
want. Eugene Guard
