Miss Dolly Brown went to

visit.
Monday night the city council
elected D. A. Osburn nightwatch
and J. F. Yates city attorney.
In its account of the state
track meet, the Eugne Register
says: The U. of O. men did great
work, and lost to one of the strong
est teams ever organized In the
state"
At meeting Monday night
the city council refused to allow the
construction OF d cement pavement
12 feet in width part way through
the Hotel Corvallis block. The
reason assigned was that pave
ment IL feet part way and 10 feet
wide the rest Of the distances would
not present very elegant appear
ance.
The morning of the state track
meet at Salem, Trainer Hayward,
of Eugene. made prediction as to
the outcome. II makes interesting
reading now. I runs thus: "All
of my men are in good condition,
and il weather conditions and the
track are good at Salem I expect to
establish some new records. Fries
sci will, in all probability, break
the coast record Ia the 22O.yard
hurdles and I expect him to defeat
| Williams, of O. A. c. IN the 100
yard dash. AS to the probable out
come of the meet, | will be surpris-
ed if Oregon is defeated. Accord
ing to my summary of points Ore
gon should win with 81 points,
Corvallis second with 5Spoints, Pa
ci6c third with rs points and Will
lamette fourth with 4 points,"
