There is considerable complaint
among residents of the vicinity
concerning a nuisance at the cor
ner of Main and Washington. It
is in the shape of partly burned
hay that is decaying, and from
which there is a noisome odor.
The hay is not worth anything.
| nobody wants ownership of it, and
the fact that its removal will be
more or less expensive accounts
for the condition. It ought to be
carted away, even if the city has
it to do.
Misses Mary Nolan and Mab1e
| Davis were hostesses at a delightful
dinner party given at the Nolan
home last evening. Covers were
laid for eighteen and the guests
were as follows: Misses Pauline
Davis. Annie Bleeg, Mable Witty
comb, Edna Irvine. Margaret Web
ley Mary Dannenan and
Letha Patton of Halsey.
Messers S. Damon, Karl Steiwer.
Ray Walker. Harry Davis. Bush
Davis, Tom Nolan, Forest Smith
son. Theodore Garrow and Bert
Pilkington.
This is one they tell on an R.F.
D. carrier. He wanted to see the
big football game Wednesday. His
leaving time with the mail is 1896
and arrival about six or seven. He
made up his mind to see the Utah
ans play, if horse flesh could carry
him on his rounds fast enough
He sailed out of town at the usual
hour. Residents along his route
saw streak of something whisk
by and disappear in the distance
Some of them mistook it for a
streak Of lightning; others for a
chunk off of a stray cyclone
Travellers met it in the road and
turned round to see if it wasn't an
escaping fugitive from justice. II
chased up hill, farmer who saw
/ it pass says, and pirouetted down
hill like sunbeam on the heels of
a summer shower. The rig ratified
and the team pufed, but there
was no stopping to take breath or
| get wind. And when the referee s
whistle blew for the kickoff at three
o'clock, Connor was right there.
| 1t is possible that the game oi
football played on college field Wed
nesday will be the last in which the
first team will appear on the local
gridiron until the annual game
with the University of Oregon,
which transpires on Saturday Nov
ember 10Th. A game was originally
scheduled with the Columbia Uni
versity eleven for the 5th of Nov
ember and another with Whitman
college of Wal1a Wal1a Washington
for the 10th. Letters have been
| received from the managers of both
teams asking to be released. The
Columbia manager writes that his
team, since its decisive defeat by
the Willamette University team
has practically gone to pieces, and
he adds that the eleven under the
circumstances would be so poor a
match for the OAC players that the
game would be uninteresting. The
Whitman manager, in a manly let
ter, sets forth the fact that several
of the best men GU the team are
out of the game on account oi
faculty regulations, and that this SC
cripples the team that it would
stand no show even to make the
game interesting. He added how
ever. that, if the local management
desires the game to be played, his
men will come and take their medi
cine. Unless game can be made
that will provide for good gate re
ceipts. Coach Steckle prefers thai
the vacant dates be not filled.
