LEAP YEAR PARTY.
Feronian and Zetegatheans-AIl en-
joyed Interchange Of Response.
~ bilities.

One of the most interesting social
gatherings of students so far this
season occurred Saturday evening
in the administration building. at
which time and place the Feronians
a young ladies society, entertained
the Zetegatheans one of the socie-
ties of the young gentlemen. The
function took the form of a leap
year party, and the requirements
of such were strictly adhered to.
So far as known, the dimeanor of
all concerned was such as to dem
onstrate the capabilities of OAC
students under adverse and inter
changed conditions. The following
program was rendered in Miss
Smells room: Instrumental solo,
Bessie Yates. Recitation, Coda
Lemar. Vocal solo, Ethel Pierce.
'Lochinvars in pantomime with
Florence Wicks and Mertie Har-
lrington in the leading roles. Vocal
duet, Florence and Essie Adams.
Vocal solo Ethel Linville
Following the program the gen
tlemen were subjected to a contest
in the construction of bonnets,
from materials provided by the
ladies. This proved an interesting
feature, Inthe contest c. c. Clark
was the victor, winning the prize
consisting of miniature sunbonnet.
He proved to be not an incapable
seamster and his ability in this line
will certainly mark him for, numer-
Gus proposals during the year.
Refreshments were served at a
seasonable hour, consisting of pota-
to salad and bread and butter, fruit
salad. cake and coffee. Miss Wicks,
president of the Feronian society,
proposed the following toasts: THE
Gentlemen" Miss Yates; Response.
II. c Clark; .'If every year were
leap year. Miss Flett; my ex-
perience at atleap-year parties.'' Mr..
Shepard; "The proper way to pro-
pose" Miss Gilbert; Adventures
of Zetegathean," c. G. Cate.
/. Under penalty of heavy fine
each young lady was required not
only to call for at his abode the
gentleman whom she was to escort,
4 but to see him safely home and
otherwise bestow all the attention
upon him usually received by her,
fAll reports lead to the belief that
no Feronian subjected herself to the
penalty; that in many respects the
leap-year party was unique, and il
all respects most aattering to the
Isociety.

FIVE NEW ONES.
Twenty Three Road Districts now in
the County-Changes Nude by
Court.

There are now "a road districts
in Benton. Formerly there were
but eighteen. The increase in the
number is the consequence of a
division Of several of the larger dis
tricts at the late Term of the county
court. The plan of large districts
with two or more important roads
in each for one supervisor to look
after was believed by the members
of the court to be faulty. A policy
was inaugurated by which super
visors on the more important roads
will have fewer and shorter high.
ways to divert their attention, and
divide their energies. AS a result
five new districts were created, and
five new supervisors appointed.
The five or six miles of the Satee
road south of Corvallis begenning
at Marys River bridge is now in a
district by itself, and J. o. Wilson
is the supervisor. The first several
miles of the Philomath road was
formerly in the same district, but
it is now separated and Harley Hall
is the supervisor. North of town
the first several miles of the Albany
road is in new district and Rich
ard Kiger is in charge. The con-
tinuation of the same road as far
as the Albany bridge is another
district, and is in charge of Henry
Hector. In the same way Ben
Harris is supervisor of the first few
miles of the Mountain View road
and E. M. Dodele has the balance.
The Cardwell Hill road to the west
ward is in district by itself, and
H. M. Fleming is supervisor. Louis
Wentz is supervisor of the Fair
mount district. In the appointment
of the supervisors at the late term.
nearly all the old men were retained
In few instances they were re-
lieved at their own request.
