Wednesday afternoon was Civ

siness* men and citizens to foot.
ball and the orange color was
spread from I'd street to the ath.
letic field. Visitors focked in
from the country and every train
was loaded with visitors to see one
of the incest, cleanest games OF
football ever played on the O. A.
c. field. Many athletes from
Eugene, Albany, Independence,
Portland, Seattle and other pla-
ces were interested spectators.
The gates were thrown open
about l o'clock and at 2 the
freshmen and sophomores lined
up on the grounds and made
things lively for an hour, play
ing ball that would do credit to
older heads. Many brilliant
plays were made thus showing
that O. A. C. will always be a
mighty factor when it comes to
a show down over the pig skin.
Under the superior training of
Coach Norcross the O. A. c..
boys have advanced to first place
and it looked mighty good to us
to see a table on the side lined
up with reporters representing
the Portland and Seattle papers
writing up the game. We really
felt so good over it that we lost
our equilibrium and hollered
just like the other boys.
Game was called at $40. The
Umpire was Cults =; referee,
Hockenberry and head lineman,
Hahn.

Oregon Is Now En-
tirely Out Of Debt.
TREASURER sTEEL's REPORT.
Ample Funds on Hand to Pay
all Obligations and Leave
Good Cash Balance.

II 1no HudQClaI a1alTS OF Iue
state are in excellenscon
says State treasurer Steel in his
biennial report to the Legisla-
ture, which was made public last
week. "There is no state debt,
bonded or otherwise. Warrants
on all of the funds have been
paid in cash on presentation,
and there are ample funds on
hand and owing to pay all obi
cations authorized by law. All
lof the counties of the state ex-
cept Yamhill, which is contest
ing the basis of apportionment
upon constitutional grounds,
have paid the first half of the
state tax apportioned to them
for the current year, and num-
Der have paid the entire'amount
apportioned to them, although
the last half of the state tax is
not due until November 1.
"Practically the entire princi-
pal of the common school, Ag-
ricultural College and Uniyers-
ity funds are drawing interest
for the benefit of the public
schools, the State University and
the Agricultural College, respect
lively. The first-mortgage loans
from the common school fund
have increased during the two
years nearly a half-million dol
lars. There has been a very
gratifying incl ease in the total
of the common school fund, due
mostly to the sale of school and
indemnity lands"
The report is very exhaustive,
and shows that the state funds
have grown to such proportions
never before realized.
The receipts from the inher-
itance tax for the past two years.
were $44,560.34, and Treasurer
Steel says the receipts from this
source would be greatly increas-
ed by imposing tax on the ex-
cess of $4,000 on all collateral
inheritances, and on all bequests
and devices exceeding $500 to
persons not related to the donor,
irrespective of the value of the
estate of the decedent or donor.
Under the law as it now stands,
no estate valued at less than
$4,000 is subject to the tax,
therefor estates valued at less
than that sum escape taxation
even though there be only col
lateral heirs, or as sometimes
occurs. no heirs whatever, and
the estate is devised to a person
or persons not related to the
donor.
The summary Of the condition
of the funds in the treasury
shows the receipts to September
80, 1908, were $5.770,1O3.41; g;
the disbursements, So, ,527 ,124.25
and the balance on hand at the
close of the report in all funds
was 1868, ,32O.15.

HELP THE CHILDREN.
Thanksgiving Appeal for Do.
nations from Aid Society.

/ HaJlOHS IRON Alu Society.
| The management ofthe Boys
and Girls Aid Society feel tha
lit is only necessary to remind
their many friends that Thanks
giving day will soon be here
again, and with it comes the
annual expectancy that always
accompanies this time of year
A hard years work has been
done by the Society in the ef.
fort to care for the dependent
children of the State, to investi.
gate cases Of reported abuse and
to aid those who were unable to
help themselves.
Nearly every county in the
State contributes dependent
children to this institution. The
number received from oil sources
the last fiscal year was 1913, out
of which number 207 were en-
tirely new cases and received
from the following counties:
Baker 5, Benton 5, Clackamas 8,
Clatsop l, Columbia 1, Coos /,
Crook 2, Douglas &, Jackson l,
Josephine 2, Klamath 2, Lane
IL, Linn 5, Malheur 2, Marion
5, Multnomah III, Sherman 8,
Tillamook s, Union 2, Umatilla
5, Wallowa 2, Wasco 5, Wash
ington 9, Yamhill 6. OF these
new cases, 131 are boys, and rs
girls. The average age Of the
girls is 10.7, the average age of
the boys 9.3.
It may be interesting to know
that besides the so children on
hand at the Receiving Home at
Portland the Society has under
its care throughout the State of
Oregon nearly 600 children.
These children are placed out
in family homes under the su-
pervision Of the Society S agents.
A report is made to the office
on every case visited, tellingI
them how the child is getting
along and whether they would
recommend it to remain in it's
place or not.
There are many ways in which
you can help the society. Do
nate whatever money you may
be able to spare or send a sack
OF potatoes, a bag of onions, al
sack OF flour; or, send to the
school through your children, a
package of coffee, few potatoes,
a pound of rice, chicken, al
package of sugar, or, in fact,
anything that is useful in al
household, and the principal OF
the school will have it packed
in boxes with other donations
from the children and forward
it to the Boys & Girls Aid So
ciety at Portland, Oregon. The
railroad companies and steam
boat lines have kindly promised
to deadhead all such supplies
when marked plainly "Boys' &
Girls Aid Society, Portland,
Oregon" All communications
to be addressed to w. T. Gard
ner, Supt, Boys & Girls Aid
Society, Portland. Those wish
ing children apply as above;
children of all ages on hand.

for this county are as follows:

Investigation had been requested to
appear before tire bOard at that time
and place. The board carefully read
all of the testimony offered in The trial
of the case at Enid. also the various ar
ticles that had been printed in tho
press of the state and elsewhere. The
board also examined the following wit
nesscs: Mrs. Fullerton, Esta Pyeatt,
music teacher, Carmen. Okla; jonn
Rolf. deputy sheriff, Carmen. okla. /;
Nora Wilson resident of The HONS,
Carmen, Okla: W. l.. Bell. guardian OF

vail Wilson, resident of the Home,
Carmen, Okla; Mary V ST. Clair, ma
tron of the Home. Carmen, Okla; l..
NJ. St Clair, superintendent of the
Home, Carmen. Okla.
Each and every one OF the witnesses
sr-nmoned and examined stated that
til y had neither seen or heard any.
5hing relative to tae copduct and man
agemes OF the Home that could be
justly yfiiicised, and that uaey had no
lmcwleE e of any other persons that
we're possessed OF any such informa-
Ion, and that they had never heard
any other persons criticise the conduct
and management Of the Home in any
particular
Your board Is of the opinion that a
very large portion OF the testimony
given at Enid in the trial OF the Smith
habeas corpus proceedings is false.
Also that that portion Of it reflecting
upon the conduct and management of
the Home is false beyond any question
whatever
In fairrc o the daily press we will
tate. that he Testimony as gi"~N and
above referred TO, was of such 80 cure
that j. would in a very large degree
justify the printing of the articles that
appeared, but not in such a highly SEN
sational manner as they were made
use of.
Your board fully and completely eX-
onerates Brother and Sister St Clair,
the superintendent and matrCn of the
Home in every particular and of eyevy-
thing charged, and say without any
hesitation whatever that in their opin-
ion there is not one particle of trnth
in all of the matters charged.
Your board also commend Brother
ana Sister St Clair for the faithful
performance of services rendered ap-
prove of their management of the af
| fairs ,ounected with the Home when
taken as whole. and recommend them
to the brotherhood and sisterhood as
perFons well fitted for the positions
they have been called upon TO fill
Submitted in Friendship, Love and

We're universally pleased, most we're
highly delighted with the bold and
fearless manner in which he handled
the several subjects he discussed. His
address was not strictly a political
speech. He confined his remarks
mainly to state affairs and his con-

those who listened to him that the
criticisms which have been aimed at
him by his political enemies We're
based on misrepresentation of the
facts. lie charged that such misrep.
reservations were Indignantly made

sentiment engendered by his address
