The work OF. putting up 1850
feet of cable will begin at the indie
pendent Telephone Office Monday
morning. These cables are lead
pipes, through which so pair of
wires pass, thus saving the trouble

A great advantage in the cable is,
that wires that pass through it are
not bothered with cross-talk from
other lines.
"A popular pastime for the last
few days. both in college and down
town circles is guessing at the score
of the track met on college field
this afternoon. All sorts of scores
enter into the computations and all
sorts of men are winners or losers
of places in the various events. A
most usual guess places the score ot
o. A. c. somewhere in the sixties
and Eugene somewhere in the ff-
ties. though some guesses run both
teams into the sixties.
