Jas. Flett while over here from

ca
Mrs. w. P. Laff7rty left Sunda .
for an extended visit with relatives
al d friends in Ohio aud Missouri.
The exposition is also on her list
for a short visit.
Ross Adams, who was a student
at OAC last year and who has been
working in Portland, has accepted
d position as clerk in the E B.
Horning grocery store. He does
not intend to enlist as a student
this year, but will pursue his studies
again the following year.
Another case of SIN, ,lpox devel-
oped Friday morning and Chief
Lane, with a bright, new flag, quar-.
antined the McLagan residence.
The victim, Miss Lou Gray, resides
with her mother, Mrs. Tucker, and
where or wh.n she contracted the
disease, is a profound mystery.
The case is of such a mild nature,
that it is scarcely distinguishable
from common rash.
Ruthyn Turney and Geo. L Paul
left Thursday for Portland to take
up their positions in the Western
Academy of Music. Mr.. Turney
has the violin department, and Mr.
Paul has the chair of dramatic art.
This institution is to he congratu-
lated upon securing the services of
these two talented gentle nen, while
loses two of her most rs.
teemed citizens.
Chittim bark remains on dead
level of five and a quarter cents
these days and may continue at
that figure. Large amounts are
changing hands, and it is being
stored away in warehouses here on
the supposition that it's price will
raise. There are probably about IS
tons stored away in Corvallis where
it will likely remain for the present
at least No large sal. 8 are being
made, and reports from the far east
indicate glutted market.
AS yet no successor to Major
Hardin has been secured. The
committee are corresponding with
two available applicants, one an
army man living in Georgia and
Major Quinlan, who is on sick
leave at Hollywood, California.
Major Quinlan las a troublesome
loot that will incapacitate him for
cavalry duty, but otherwise is we'll
qualified to fill the position and
as no cavalry duty is re-
luired of the instructor at OAC,
thls impedi,nent would not inter
fere with his coming mere. 1t is al
30 stated that he is anxious to re
,eive an appointment here. The
Georgia man is desirous of secuilg
supplementary work as teacher of
some branch of study in the college.
With the exception of the
of fax fibre, .the Jersey
COWS at the College farm thought
the samples of growing grain for
the State Fair were pretty good.
Some one left the barn door open
and the COWS walked in to make. a
physical examination of the edible
qualities Of the various kinds of
pats, grain, fax, etc. Several
bunches Of English oats got first
prize, the wheat came in for a red
ribbon while the fax fibre was con-
sidered unfit for COW feed and was
under foot. When Over.
seer Kent came around next morn
ing the atmosphere suddenly be-
came charged with a blue sulphur
JUS haze.
