Avery-Irwin.

The marriage Of two promi-
nent young people Of Benton
county occurred at high noon,
Wednesday, the bride being Miss
Leanna Irwin, second daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Irwin,
and the groom, Grover Avery,
son of ex-senator and Mrs. Pun
derson Avery.
The ceremony was performed
by DR.. E. J. Thompson Of Inde-
pendence at 1890, in the pres
ence of about 25 relatives and in
innate friends, and after con-
gratulations the company enjoy
ed a delicious wedding dinner.
The bride was beautifully
gowned in cream silk organdie
with full length veil, and carried
a shower bouquet OF LaFrance
roses. The decorations in the
rooms were fern, Oregon grape,
ivy and chrysanthemums, and
during the ceremony the young
couple occupied a position under
a large arch of ivy and white
chrysanthemums.
Both bride and groom are
highly respected and are from
two of Benton county's best
known and most esteemed fami-
lies.
They left on the evening trair
for Portland on their bridal trip
and upon their return will reside
on the groom's farm south Of
Corvallis. They have the good
wishes of a very large circle OF
friends.

forc1ble immersion.

/ foTc1ble immersion.
The freshman was captured as
planned, and the march to the
fountain was begun. The moon
shed a pale radiance on the scene
and the marble woman at the
fountain looked weird and ghost
| ly as the shivering treshie was
led forward like lamb to the
slaughter, but he wisely offered
no remarks and went on IN obed-
fence to the command of the
mob. When at the water's edge,
however. the new man hesltat-
ingiy asked if he might remove
his coat and vest. and the leaders
in the hazing party consented
Then, after viewing his shapely
form a moment the freshie bash
fully stammered, MAY | take
off my pants too?" and again
the indu1gent hazers consented.
The coat and vest came off; SO
did the trousers. and at this
critical juncture the Girl contin-
gent of the hazing crowd swoop-
ed down on the spot on the run.
The hazers were overcome, hav-
ing entirely forgotten that the
girls were to figure in the duck
ing, and with a total lack of
courage they took to their heels
aud hid in the brush nearby,
yelling to the freshman to ''come
on, come on"
But like the boy who ''stood
ON the burning deck whence all
but he had fed" the freshman
arrayed but sparingly calmly
stood his ground amid the party
of shrieking girls, and informed
all within hearing that he had
done nothing of which to be
ashamed and that he'd be hanged
if he was going to run-nor did
he.
IF the incident mentioned does
not serve as complete quietus
on the girls joining in hazing
tricks it certainly should. for
young women do not gain in re-
huement by participation in such
questionable pranks, which at
best are hardly tolerable in the
men students.

FREEZING HIS sPUDs.
In Nebraska-Farmer Will
Come West tn Miss Billiards.

On of the most progressive
me, of Be ton county today i
L. L Brooks who resides nortl
of G rvellis a few miles, ant
who has, ever since his remova
from tie East to this locality
been known as a man of up-to
date ideas. Perhaps no single
individual in Oregon has done
moe to advertise this state il
the E ,st than has Mr.. Brooks
and it is certain that no single
per on has written more letters
spoken more good words for the
country or induced more people
to come here to locate than ha:
this progressive gentleman who
from the first mas realized the
vast opportunities that Oregon
and especially the Willamette
valley, holds out to the home
seeker.
A party in Gering, Nebraska,
to whom Mr.. Brooks has written
concerning this section, replies
to the letter in an interesting
way, and through the kindness
of the recipient we are allowed to
publish the letter in full. The
writer is J. H. Wright, and the
letter says:
Il received your letter in due
time. I would like very much
to come right away but it is i'm
possible now for I have over 80
acres of potatoes yet to dig and
help is very scarce. We have
already dug about 80 acres. !
don't know whether we will be
able to get done digging or not,
as it began showing last night
and is about FIVE inches deep
and more coming.
The seasons are short here
and help has been so hard to
get. A number of the farmers
have not begun to dig potatoes
yet. I am in hopes this snow
goes of without hard freeze for
it will mean a great loss to many
farmers if it freezes.
I think I shall be out in your
country as soon as il Is conyen.
ient for me to come. I some
times think I will have a sale
and dispose of all my possessions
and come out without waiting to
