BRIDGE ACCIDENT.
High Water Weakened Structure
1t FeII.-HOrSe Killed.

Weakened bv the high water
of the past winter, thirty-two
feet of the Benton county bridge
over Thorton's lake collapsed
late Saturday afternoon under
the weight of a load OF wood and
two horses. Marion Bailey was
driving the team at the time OF
the accident, accompanied by his
nephew.
The two men, the horses aud
the load of wood were precipita-
ted into about two feet OF water
and only by the narrowest chance
did Mr.. Bailey and his nephew
escape oeing killed. One of the
horses was half buried under the
load of wood, and sustained in
juries from which it died shortly
after. The other animal was
badly bruised. Mr.. Bailey was
struck by one of the falling
bridge timbers, and was pain
fully injured so that it became
necessary for him to consult
physician. Mr.. Bailey's nephew
was not hurt aside from a severe
shaking up. Mr.. Bailey was
bringing the load of wood to this
city at the time of the accident.
J. B. Leatherman, who happen
ed to be near, rescued the men
from their position.
Mr.. Bailey was in Albany
Monday to have his wounds
dressed by a physician and in
conversation admitted that he
contemplated taking action
against the Benton county court
for damages, for the loss of his
valuable horse and for the in
juries which he himself sustain
ed as result of the collapse of
the bridge.--Albany Herald.

Teach Them Fruit Culture.

The rudiments of hort culture
in the rural school, to be taught
as a branch or side line from the
regular studies, and to occupy
the same importance to the coun-
try school as manual training
does to the city schools, is the
innovation that President w. K.
Newell, of the state board of
horticulture, is striving to intro

different districts with the practi-

gained from his theory. Teach

him especial opportunity.
Mr.. Newell believes the first
branches of the study of horticul-
ture could be taught in the coun-
try districts to pupils who care to
axe it up to great advantage,
and that more benefits would pe

BEZDEK's SUCCESSOR.
Chosen at u. of O.-Fnrmer Coach
to Study Medicine.

From Eugene comes a dis
patch that will be read with in
terest by all Corvallis sport
lovers. 1t is in Tuesdays Ore
gonian and says:
At meeting of the Athletic
Council held this afternoon, Cor
don B. Frost, of Seattle, WASH,
was elected as head football coach
for the coming season.
Hugo F. Bezdek, physical
director, coached the Oregon
team last year. This year he de-
manded salary OF $4,000 but it
was not granted. Bezdek ex-
poets to return to Chicago, where
he will take position as instruc-
tor of crack gymnasium aud
will study medicine on the side.
While Bezdek is generally re-
cognized as clever coach, he has
not given complete satisfaction.
In selecting Bezdek's successor
numerous applications were con-
sidered before final action was
taken. Hoagland and Jennings
of Princeton; Reynolds, of
Pennsylvania; Curtis, of Michi-
gan and many other noted play
ers were anxious to coach Oregon
this season. No statement has
been made by manager Kestly as
to the amount to be paid to the
newly elected coach, but it is
said that the sum is rea enable
one and that it is to be paid al
together by the Associated Stu,
dents.
Gordon B. Frost is graduate
of Dartmouth college, where he
was prominent in athletics for a
number of years. He played
tackle on the Dartmouth varsity
in 1901 and 1902, and after his
graduation in 1893. coached a
team IN Texas. During the sea-
sons 1905 and 1905. Frost coach
ed the Seattle high school eleven
with remarkable success.
Among those who recommend
ed Frost highly are Bruce G.
Shorts, Oregon's former coach,
and Ray Goodrich, an Oregon
graduate who is now practicing
law in Seattle.
Frost is now teaching mathe-
matics IN the Seattle high school.
He is about 80 years Of age, and
is a clean, modest gentleman.
Captain Gordon c. Moo1es and
manager Grover Kestly, who re-
Gently held a conference with
Frost in Portland, are high
ly pleased with his selection.
The new coach was a member of
the basketball and baseball teams
at Dartmouth, and as he has had
considerable coaching experience
along those lines, he may be Sc
cured as coach for the entire year
or for term OF years.
: Trainer William L. Hayward
, will also be retained, as he has
. more than made good with the
VARSITY students and professors.
