Unlawful.

Complaint has been made that num-
ber of small boys are slaughtering many
of the song birds by means of sling
shots, etc. Last Sunday afternoon sew.
eral boys were thus occupied in the via
cinity of Marion square. Boys should
be taught to observe the law in all
cases, and there is severe penalty
against the killing or disturbing of our
song birds. 1t may be found necessary
to have a deputy warden appointed
for the protection Of the birds.
1t is to be hoped that the boys will
remember this, and find less cruel
amusement. Persons shooting in the
city limits are liable TO arrest and
heavy fine, and the law should be en-.
forced more vigorously than it is.

FREEDOM
THROUGH
WORK
Dramatic Reader EntertaiaS
the Students of Will
annette

Personal Development" was the
theme of short address to the Uni
versity students this morning by Mrs.
Jessie Eldridge Southwick, of the EN-
erson College Of Oratory, of Boston.
Freedom is gained through work, 1"
was the opening thought and she went
on to develop this and to show that
freedom is a positive achievement
which enables it's possessor to express
the universal law of nature through
himself.
Education is not merely a learn
ing of facts and figures, which will be
most forgotten by the time you are out
of school, but it is an eternal posses
sion which gives one the power to
know the power to do, and the power
to dare"
Patience and right endeavor were
two guiding principles recommended by
the speaker.
Patience" she declared, els a
great virtue. 1t is not a mere passive
ness, but it is a sublime fortitude that
never relaxes never gives up.
"Every day of our school life is an
opportunity to correct some fault, to
eradicate some evil in our lives. Ac-
cording as we have sown so shall we
reap"
In conclusion she gave as an empha-
sis to her remarks two very beautiful
readings, "The Chambered Mantilis'
and "Life and Song"
Mrs. Southwick has wonderful pow
ers of expression, which combines with
her charming personality to make her
favorite with any audience. The
students were more than delighted this
morning and will turn out en- masse to
hear her in "The Merchant of Venice"
tonight.

AMATEUR
BASEBALL
LEAGUE
willamette -0regOn-O. A. c.
Alliance for Promotion Of
National Game

Baseball enthusiasm at Willamette
received a big impetus this morning
when the management received word
from Eugene that the University of Or
egon and the Oregon Agricultural Col.
lege, at Corvallis, wished to join with
Willamette in the formation of a three
cornered intercollegiate baseball league
This removes all doubt as to the possi-
bility of the local team being unable to
secure games with any other institu-
tions. Every important institution in
the state has team, and it is very
probable that this league will be en-
larged so as to include Pacific Univer-
sity, at Forest Grove, and Columbia
University, at Portland.
In addition to the league games, Will
lamette will have some preliminary
games with Mt. Angel, Monmouth and
Chemawa. The crowning event of the
season will be the baseball tournament
which is proposed to be held in con-
junction with the Lewis and Clarke
centennial at Portland in June.
Willamette never had brighter pros.
poets for putting out a winning team,
and the "iendS' are more than en-.
thusiastic. Every time the sun comes
out for a few hours, the athletic field
is soon peopled with large number of
devotees of the national game.
The work of selecting a team will be
hard one, for every position has at
least one, and some of them many appli-
cants.
Jerman and Mace will, no doubt do
the twirling, while Unruh and RAIDER
will preside at the receiving end of the
battery. So far, but two applicants
have turned up for shortstop, they are
NJ. NJ. Long and Mendenhall. First base
seems to be the most popular, and for
this position are available o. B. Long,
Hamilton, Eyre and Averill. Beach
will probably officiate at the second
station, and Curtis Coleman will no
doubt be found on the third bag. For
the outfeld there will be available all
the surplus infeld material and in ad-
dition Mac Hofer, Jones, Hunt, Trill
Grannis, Elliott and few others.
These men are all old players, and
thoroughly understand the game.

LONGS CIGAR STORE ROBBED.
Slot Machine Broken Into, and Con-
tents Stolen by Local Thugs.

A great deal of mystery surrounds
the ROBBERY of slot machine in Long g
cigar (7) store, which presumably oc-
cured Saturday or Sunday night, as
the robbery was evidently committed
by some one who was acquainted with
the arrangement of the place. The
burglars came in by back door and
pried the lock off of a nickle-in-the-slot
machine, robbing it of about $50 in
nickles. There are also, a box of cigars
and few packages of gum reported
missing, making the total amount lost
about $35.
The store was closed by the proprie-
tor at 6 O'Clock Saturday evening, his
gambling games being closed, and was
not opened again until Sunday after
noon, when he dropped into the place
for a few minutes, but did not notice
anything wrong. He then again closed
the place until yesterday, when he came
down and opened the store, finding, to
his astonishment, that the machine had
been broken and robbed.

KNIGHTS
VISIT
ALBANY

Albany, Feb. 2s.-A special conclave
of Temple Commandery, called for work
in the degrees, was held last night in
the Masonic hall of this city. It was
one of the most interesting and impress
sive ceremonies ever witnessed in that
hall, and was attended by members of
the Salem and Eugene lodges, elaborate
preparations having been made for
their reception and entertainment.
There were also few distinguished
guests from Corvallis present, most of
of whom belonged to the Albany Com
mandery.
After the work in the hall was con-
cluded the Knights adjourned to Simp-
sons Grill, where covers had been laid
for over so. A royal banquet was
spread before the visitors, and, when
toasts were in order, under the direction
of Toastmaster Bilyeu, nearly every
one was forced to speak before the mer-
ry band dispersed by singing "Auld
Lang Syne."
Among the members from outside
cities were the following:
