Down at Buck Creek-And Incidents
That Happened There.
Buck Creek is frontier commit
nifty down beyond the Alsea, where
chittim is the principal commodity.
They had a Sunday school there
last summer, and one Sunday when
the Superintendent asked for an
nouncements just before the close,
a member of the Bible class arose
and announced that there would be
dance at Mr.. Days house the
next Friday night. That. Of
course, was all right, and so was
this other incident that happened
on another Sunday in the same
school. "There will be no Sunday
school next Sunday" said the
superintendent; ''The base ball
team is going to play that day, and
I am the captain. Besides, sup
pose most of the children will de-
sire to attend the game. You can
now consider yourselves dismissed"
he ended, and the Buck Creek
Sunday school adjourned to take in
the base ball game the next Sun
day. As before remarked. Buck
Creek and her people are all right,
and chittim from there is the best
there is in the world.

AT THE COLLEGE.
The Chapel Filled With Music Lovers,
Wednesday Evening.

In spite Of the very unfavorable
weather, large audience gathered
at the college chapel Wednesday
evening to listen to the musical
programme rendered by members
of the OAC vocal department, un-
der the instruction of Mrs. Green.
The first number began at 7:45,
being a selection by the Ladies'
Chorus. Following was a solo by
Miss Gertrude McBee, a nocturne
by Miss Juliet Cooper and another
number by Miss Edna Allen.
Down in the Deep" was effective
ly rendered by c. G. Briggs, who
was followed by Miss Ruth Lilly
with a s1umber song. A male
quartette. composed of Messrs
Knapp, Selleck, Miller and Hill
was heartily applauded, and Miss
Una Stewart gave number, "Sun.
shine and Rain. A duet by Miss
Edna Allen and Mr.. Briggs, and a
solo by Miss Bertha Williams,
were followed by recitation from
Tennyson's works. Crossing the
Bar, given by Miss Alice Edwards,
A solo by Mrs. Berchto1d, bearing
the same title, was the last
number before the Ladies Chorus
appeared in the closing selection.
The recital was much enjoyed by
those who attended, and much
credit is due all those performers
who appeared during the evening.

FROM ALL OVER.
Prize Poultry is Coming to Corvallis
Poultry Show Next Month.

Letters received by prominent
pou1trymen indicate that the poul-
try show to be held in Corvallis
beginning December 8 isto be one
of most extensive proportions. Let
tiers of inquiry are coming from
poultIymen as far south as Los
Angeles and as far north as British
Columbia. 1T is certain now that
there will be exhibits from the most
important poultry yards of Calf
ornia, of Washington and of Brit
ish Columbia, to say nothing of the
exhibits from all over Oregon.
In short, several states will con-
tribute to the success of the show,
which will vie with all the other
shows in point of excellence and
importance to be held during the
season. The fortunate fact in the
premises that tends to contribute to
the popularity Of the Corvallis un-
dertaking with poultrymen from
far abroad, is that the date comes
first on the regular poultry circuit
and fanciers will all be anxious to
get their prize birds scored at the
first opportunity. That opportun-
ity, the Corvallis show will af.
ford and that in particular. will be
one explanation Of the wide atten-
ton it is attracting all over the
Coast. It IS probable from indica-
tons that Benton county people
will have opportunity to see more
fine birds on the Sth, 9th and 10th
of December and in Corvallis, thar
they ever saw before in all theil
lives. So.
