FOOT BALL ENTHUSIASM
How the Bows Have Innocent
Fun

The football rally Friday night
by the college students was
daisy and calculated to inspire
the feelings of happy childhood
in the heart of every citizen of
Corvallis. We believe in the
principle that whateveris worthy
of attention should be done with
an eye single to procuring the
best results, hence if football
team is beneficial, OAC should
have the champion team on the
Pacific Coast to keep in touch
with the reputation of the school.
OAC has been greatly honored
by the young men and women
who have left the school room to
take advanced positions in near
ly every sphere OF usefulness,
and the graduate has gained
marked distinction when handed
sheepskin from that institu-
ton. She teaches thoroughness
in classics and loyalty to the
school and it does our very soul
good to hear the boys shout Zip!
Boom! Bee! Zip! Boom! Bee!
GA, GA, OACl
Headed by the college band
they formed at the college and
marched down through town
with side line of ladies to lend
enchantment to the scene, then
back to the athletic field. 1t
was a pretty sight to look at them
and while we were not permitted
to form in line our feet would in
sist on keeping time to the
music.
A match was then applied to-
the huge bonfire prepared for
the occasion, speeches made, yells
given and various other things
done to impress upon the mind
that OAC will have a full hand
in the foot ball games this year.

THE LUMBERhEN'S
STUBBLE FIELDS
Clearing Of stumps
Too Expensive.
IMPROVED METHOD NEEDED
Whereby This Vast Aereage
Can Be Cleared at Expense
Less Than Value Of Land.

A problem of considerable Inn
portance in western Washington
and Oregon has to do with what
is called "the lum bermen's stub
BILE feld"-tracts from which the
timb has been cut and which,
though desirable for agriculture.
can be cleared of stumps only at
a cost greater than the value Of
the land for agricultural purs
poses. Since the lumbermen
harvested their wood crop those
lands have remained unproduc-
tive, for fires have prevented for
est reproduction.
1t has been suggested that a
saving can be made in the cost
of pulling stumps if the stumps
of Douglas fir are used by dis
tillation for the production of
turpentine, tar, charcoal. and
other products. There is no
question that the fir stumps can
be used in this way, but the saw
ing effected, according to the
rough estimates which are alone
possible under the circumstances,
would hardly exceed from one
tenth to e-fifth Of the cost of
clearing at present, which ranges
from $3.50 to 1925 per acre. In
a few cases, where the land was
not so heavily tim bered, the ex-
pense of clearing is a little less,
1t looks as if the lumbermen's
stubble field can be brought
economically under the plow
only by the contrivanee, Of some
improved method for handling
the stumps, which are too large
for the regulation stump-pulle1
and are now removed by dyna-
mite and the donkey engines.

Newport's Future.

Newport Is happy. Her ardu-
Gus summer toll is over. Rocked
in the hammock of contentment
and lulled by the patter Of the
rain and the cooling melodies of
the autumn leaves as they play
on the vibrating cords Of hr and
spruce boughs, she dreams an
enhancing dream of delight and
sees visions of her future great
ness. In her visions and dreams
she sees great ships lying at her
wharves. She sees great city
stretching from the harbor bar
to the heights in the northern
limits. Wholesale business
blocks line the water front and
five hundred thousand dollar
hotels command views of the bay
and ocean. Electric cars flash
their colored lights in the night
time and sive rapid transit from
the southern boundary to the
light house.
When Newport awakens from
this pleasant dream she will put
on her bloomers and go to work
to make it a reality.-Newport

WILL BE A BIG GAME
Nov. Fl, @. 4. C. VS.. U. Of O.
at Portland.

The time is drawing near for
the champion game OF football
between OAC and o. Of 0. at
Portland on Nov. 21st. This
will be a hard scrap for the boys
and every citizen of the town
should make it point to get up
early in the morning, march
around the block, fill his lungs
with good pure air and yell the
college yells SO as to get their
throats in proper shape to root
for the boys on that big day. We
used to play baseball and we re-
member how that kind of busi-
ness fired our souls with delight
at critical periods. There ought
to be 1000 tickets sold at Corval-
lis on that day and the Southern
Pacific railroad company COM
PEELED to put on an extra engine
to carry the enthusiasm. So
arrange your business affeirs
that Portland will think some
foreign nation has invaded the
country when the train pulls in
at the Union depot. Don't get
scared on account Of tickets, for
if necessary the Gazette will run
the job presses all night for .,
solid week to supply the demand.

TO BENEFIr PuBLlG
Lycrum Course Not a M nay
Maker--.An Educator

The people of Corvallis are to
be congratulated over the pros
pect of another series of splendid
lecture courses and Prof. Cordley
and others are to be commended
for their noble efforts to educate
the people along higher lines OF
education II development. AS a
college town we owe it to the
parents Of the young men and
women coming from all parts of
the state to see that instead Of
the cheap entertainments Of a
questionable character we sur
round their lives with entertain
ments of the highest order. In
attending this lyceum course
they will come in touch with the
brightest minds, peculiarly fitted
to make lasting impressions in
character building. Great pains
have been taken and much mon
ey expended along these lines
and it can be truthfully said that
it has not, nor will not, be made
a question of money making but
simply an earnest effort by Chris
tian gentlemen to benefit the
public. Give them your hearty
support.

A Booster or a Liar.

An Ontario farmer, writing to
friend back east was trying to
give some idea of the produc-
tiveness of the soil here. He said
they had to NOW the grass in
the front yard every day to fad
the baby. One family near them
had twin babies, with only one
cradle, and the kid that had to
sleep on the floor grew twice as
fast as the other. Where the
soil is richest a man dare not
stand on one leg any length OF
time lest that ley becomes long
.r and bothers in waiking.-On-

Will Be Established
at Waldport.
The PLANS ARE ELABORATE
Twenty New Cottages, a New
Wharf 400 Feet Long and
Other improvements.

1uO SloA A1OUlC
village that nestles snugly on
the south side of the Alsea river
near its confluence with the blue
waters of the mighty Pacific and
sheltered by fr-clad hills from
the harsh breezes of the North
west trades, is coming rapidly to
the front in prominence and i'm.
portance. Not only for its hunt
ing, fishing and dairying indus
tries but also as a health resort.
The latest development in the
latter respect is. being brought
about by DR.. Olmstead, of Port
land. For a considerable length
of time past DR.. Olmstead has
been investigating different
points along the coast with
view to establishing "Salt Air
Sanitarium" at some location
where he could secure a maxi
mum of sunshine with a mini
mum of fog. His investigation
finally concluded with the selec-
ton of Waldport and there he
has decided to build his SAM
tarium.
The plans for the building are
quite elaborate. The design of
the architecture is unique and
logs will be used for building
material. The main building
will be 56x44, on the south will
be a room 56x25 in which will
be placed a salt water aquarium
1Sx10 feet and 5 feet deep with
running stream of salt water
passing through it.
In this aquarium will be
placed various species of salt
water fish and other marine Gu
rios. The southeast and west
sides of this room will be almost
entirely of glass, where patie nts
and visitors may occupy large
easy chairs and enjoy the bright
warm sunshine that pours in
through the large windows.
Another room of the building
will be 39x22 feet in which will
be placed the Doctors splendid
museum, at present containing
ten thousand specimens from all
over the world and which will
be added to from time to time by
donations. This room will also
contain the library which will
be an exceedingly attractive fea-
ture. Hot and cold baths will
be in the main building.
Twenty neat cottages will be
erected on grounds adjoining
the Sanitarium for the occupan-
cy OF patients, DR.. Olmstead be-
ieving that better results are
thus obtained than when all are
housed in the same' building.
These cottages will each contain
two rooms and a canvass Sleep
ing addition. Surgical cases
and contagious diseases will not
be treated. This institution is
intended for the treatment OF
overworked men and women
from the offices, banks and other
callings in the cities and those
convalescing from acutetroubles
A large wharf, 400 feet long,
is being built on the water front
which will be used for the con-
venience of launches and pleas
ure craft and will also be free
boat landing. When arrange;
ments are completed construc-
ton work will be rushed. This
will put Waldport in the front
rank as a coast health resort

By Presbyterians at
Present Location.
WILL COST OVER $4,000
New improvements Are Being
Made to Keep Pace With the
Rapid Growth of Corvallis.

At the meeting of the officers
and members of the Presbyterian
church held on Thursday night,
it was the unanimous verdict of |
those present that the time has
now come when new church
must be erected on the present
beautiful site to accommodate
their people.
In the rapid growth of the
town the Presbyterians have
been greatly blessed with a lib
.eral proportion of the new citi-
zens and now find themselves
greatly handicapped with the
crowded condition of the audi
ence room. At nearly every SER
vice the house is filled to over
flowing and on special occasions
the aisles and pulpit space must
be filled with chairs to accom-
modate the people. In the Sun
day School work the classes are
all crowded in the one room and
in the noise and confusion it is
impossible for teacher to make
lasting impressions on the minds
Of the children.
For So years the present struc-
fture has stood as a landmark to
the faithfulness of Christian men
and women, but like the builder
it must pass away to make room
! for a new and modern building
!! in keeping with the advance
ment of moral and educational
ideas.
The general expression of this
i people'is to build a beautiful edi-
flee to cost not less than $4,000
to serve them for many years to
come, and we feel justified in
saying the citizens of Corvallis
will render every assistance pos
sible in aiding this commend
able enterprise. A meeting was
called for Thursday evening,
Nov. 18th, to take further action
In regard to the matter and it is
the earnest desire that every
member of the church and con-
gregation-as well as all citizens
who may feel an interest in see-
ing a fine church-may be present
and give expression to their
views.
1t has been decreed by Rev.
Bell that the masculine persua-
sion shall furnish the refresh
ments on this occasion and when
the meek and lowly brethren
sized up the preacher they said
I"so mote it be-" hence the ladies
will be expected to eat sand
wiches with the "fllin" an inch
thick. For once the gentlemen
will be monarchs Of all they sur
vey and lovely women will have
to take their medicine.
1t affords us great pleasure to
say that never in the history of
the denomination has there been
such unity of action, oneness Of
spirit, loyalty to the principles
they profess and deep convic-
tions OF duty to the community
as at present, and when Chris
tian people lay aside petty jeal-
,,ousies, having in view the one
fundamental principle of the
spiritualization of their fellow
| men, great good is sure to follow.
WhIle the new building will
oe credit to the Presbyterians
as a denomination, it should also
De the pride of every citizen who
has the welfare of the town at
heart, for with fine churches,
good schools and the best college

DISCUSSES PARKSIDE
AND DUPONT GAME

Sporting Editor EVENING JOURNAL,
l have a few things to say in regard
to some of the teams who are now
playing under the banner of amateur
ISM" especially dupont The writer
who said that dupont never held up a
game arguing a decision is greatly
mistaken, for they argued fully fifteen
minutes on one decision in one of the
games with Wilmington last sea-
son.
Another thing in regard to Mr..
Schultz as an umpire. lie means well.
but has the DUPONT team so much at
heart that he gives them most Of the
close decisions. This was shown on
Labor Day when in the morning a
small boy the mascot OF X-Willning-
ton, was ordered to the bench while
showing a slit in a bat. while in the
afternoon the manager came upon the
field arguing a decision with Mr..
Schultz In disgraceful way. Why
did not Mr. Schultz or Mr.. Dawson
order him off the field?
The game at Front and Union ended
in an dishonorable way. one Of the
writers asks the question: why aid
not Parkside stand up and take their
medicine2" Because they did not have
to. for two reasons: First, they are
looked upon as kids, are admired for
the fight they show. Second, they do
not pay one player on the team, and
can quit and lose nothing. The game
broke up because Parkside refused to
play after a decision by Umpire
Schultz. From the place in the grand
stand where / sat I had a clear view
of the play and in my opinion the
runner was out. I noticed that a good
many dupont rooters turned and yell
ed for Parkside after the first three In
nings. Why? Because they admired
the Parkside teams pluck.
Parkside players have shown more
team spirit Thanh any other team in the
state. For instance, Lewis was Of
fered SIS to pitch for either New Cas-
tie or Delaware City last Saturday
but refused to accept because he ha,
promised 10 pitch against dupont, al.
though he was not to receive a cen
for pitching for Parkside. Divinney
who is considered one of the best anna
teur catchers in the state. has received
many offers to go away and catch, bu
has refused because he wished to hol'
up the honor Of Parkside.
Before closing I wish to state tina
I am not a Parkside rooter. nor hav'
III anything personally against tn
members of the DUPONT team. I am
great lover of amateur baseball, but
like TO see clean sport Thanking yol
in advance for the space in your inter
esting paper, I remain,
Yours, A. r. Fan.

ENIGMARELLE
DOES STUNTS

"EnigmarelIe," the mechanical figure
that does everything but talk, ami
which is now at the GarriclS under the
management of w. w, Shuttleworth,
drove down this morning behind a pair
of high steppers and stopped at THE
JOURNAL Office.
Enignarelle is really good coach
man and drove the high steppers as
well as anyone could be expected to do,
considering the fact that all the life
he has IS a lot of springs and motors,
and magnets, and weights. In the car.
riage were Edward flanagan. Mr.
Phillips, a reporter for THE JOUR-
NAL, Mr.. Shuttleworth, who operated
the levers and buttons in the rear, OF
Enigmarelle. and c. A. Collow, Mr..
Shuttleworths electrician.
Leaving THE JOURNAL ofice
Fnigmarelle drove down Shipley street
and turned the corner at Third. UP
Market and across TO Delaware avenue.
Turning round above Van Ruren street
the drive was made back to the Gar
rick Theatre. A whole horde of boys
and girls followed the carriage.
Gee. look at its face" piped one
youngster. 1T amt real" said an
other. and one little colored girl ran
alouG beside the carriage calling Mr..
Enigmareue a doll. But the figure.
with its laxen hair. paid no attention
to any Of these depreciatory remarks.
This figure is a wonderful invention
and originated in the mind Of Frederick
Ireland.
Mr.. ireland was a. waX-figure worker
and made his invention in Chicago.
Enigmarelle is composed OF all kinds
of things and weighs $50 pounds. Be-
sides driving he can walk without any
one holding on to him. The way no
stepped out of the carriage at the rear
door of the Garrick and walked right
into his dressing room was a wonder.
The figure is controlled by a system
of keys and levers operating motors
in Enigmarelle's interior. Mr.. Shuttle
worth had to stand in back of the
figure TO operate these, and byturning
one and another. the arms Of the figure
were pulled in whichever direction was
required thus guiding the horses.
