Captain 7. Jenkins Hams, author Of
THE Black Barque," just published by
L. C. Page & Co., is an enthusiastic
Iyachtsman and has owned or sailed
many of the famous small vessels, in
eluding the Saracen, the Pelican, the
Mermaid and others. He has vast
fund of personal experiences to draw
from in depicting deep water sailing.
During the last year, for instance, he
made a voyage in his famous little
Lawley cruiser, the Edna, and lost her
in midocean about four hundred miles
off the coast of South Carolina. After
days of extreme hardship and exposure
in the wrecked and water-logged hull
he and his wife, with one sailor, were
picked up by the four-master William
Tanner, of Bath, Me-, and carried
ashore to Georgia. Naturally his rela-
| ton of incidents and accidents on the
waters is wonderfully true to life. Cap
tain Hams comes of long line of dis
tinguished British and American naval
and army officers. His grandfather,
Thornton Jenkins. was rear-admiral of
the United States navy; his cousin, Sir
Robert Jenkins, X. C. B., was vice-ad-
miral of the Royal navy. His father,
General Hams, was secretary of the
lighthouse board, with Captain (now
adnliraD Dewey as naval secretary,
while both his brothers are officers in
the United States army, Captain Hams
dedicates his book to those illustrious
ancestors.

Corvallis Wins Out.

After something more than two
years OAC has succeeded in de-
feating Dallas in a game of bas-
ket ball. The contest occurred
in the Armory last Friday even
ing and attracted large crowd
of basket ball enthusiasts. The
final score was IS to 10 in favor
of OAC.
The game was fast and furious
and some of our people can scarce
ly tell yet how we managed to
defeat Dallas as we did. Dallas
has a good team-there is no deny
ing this fact. At the end of the
first half OAC had secured 9
points and Dallas 3. In the be-
ginning of the second half Dali
las made 6 points almost before
one could wink and some of our
people were badly frightened in
consequence thereof. But OAC
took a brace and let into it with a
vengeance and the result was that
during the. second half she added
IS more points to her score, max
ing her total rs. Although Dal-
las played a rafting good game.
lshe was able to add but 7 to her
score of the first half, making her
total 10.
About IS people came up from
Dallas on the Monmouth motor
and arrived here shortly before E
O'Clock in the evening. Natur-
ally, they were ardent support
ers of their home team, but they
accepted defeat gracefully and
there was no wrangling nor hard
feelings over the result. The
motor left Corvallis for Dalla:
shortly after 10 o'clock.

Miss christaI Miner.

The death of Miss Christal
Miner occurred at 4:3o a. m. Sat-
urday, at the home in this city of
her father, G.. P. Miner. The
funeral services were held in the
United Evangelical church at 2
O'Clock Sunday afternoon and
the services were conducted bv
Rev. Winters. The remains were
inferred in Crystal Lake ceme-
terry and were followed to their
last resting place by large circle
of relatives and friends.
The Young lady was about "a
years of age at the time of her
death. In 1902 she graduated
from OAC and was considered a
bright student at that institution.
Something more than a year ago
she became a victim to consump-
tion and little by little her life
ebbed from her. It seems hard
to face death at any time, but
doub1y SO when one is SO young
and life and the future promises
SO much. The relatives have the
sympathy of all. Miss Minel
was born in the state of Kansas
and came to Oregon with he,
parents in 1891. In 1898 the
family moved to this city, where
they have resided ever since.
