Bennett prevented ills family from realizing' his serious condition, as well aa the loyal friends who are associated with him in the political campaign. Amon arthe business associates and friends of Mr. Bennett, the news of his death was a shock. ePrsistent rumors had been circulated that he was dan gerously 111. but yesterday afternoon police court officials authorized a state, roent that he was supposed to be im proving.

It Is regarded aa an Indication of the clear sighted Judgment of Judge Bennett that he seldom failed to sift the chaff from the wheat, and that few Injustice: ap pear among the hundreda of sentences he was called upon to impos during a month. Militia Record Prized. Mr. Bennett was a membej of the Masonic fraternity and the Woodmen of the "World, but the honor which he prized most waa the certificate of his retirement as a member of the Oregon National Guard, with the rank of Major, and the old saber which he wore whife a member of the citizen soldiery.

L. Moody, of the Spokane Chamber of Commerce, who was In Portland yesterday. "Washington Is going to use every fair means to keep Oregon from win ning this year, by exhibiting better ap ples, if possible. But. at that, Oregon growers might surprise us. in any event. Oregon will share liberally In the benefits of the plan, for this state Is bound to have many apples among the prize-winners. Special Train to Carry Fruit. The management of the Spokane show has arranged to have the blue ribbon exhibits taken to Chicago by special train. That they will attract great attention there Is unquestioned. Show an Kasterner our beautifully col ored, perfectly formed and clellclously flavored apples and he lsabound to sit up and take notice. When you consider the thousands of people of all classes -ho will throng the land show and see these apples, the benefits of such ad vertising to the state can hardly be es timated. 'This opportunity should aronse Ore a-on apple-growers to make the fullest possible exhibits at the Spokane show, nd I have no doubt that, encouraged by their success of last year, they will send a great showing of fruit.

Willamette Is growing rapidly and In creased facilities in sciences and the other departments have caused a much wider demand among prospective students.

Todd, the new vice-president, will have charge of the current expenses and the endowment. The Rev. Mr. Todd secured B. S. and M. S. degrees from Simpson College, S. T.

Cash Basts Is Proposed. Willamette for the past two years has made an effort to be on a cash basis and pay its bills monthly and has suc ceeded. There Is a fine outlook for 4he endowment and President Homan states that in a few months there may be an nouncements made which will be of-considerable Interest to those who have been watching the career of this historic university. William J. Keller will have charge of the modern language department and his wife, Grace Harris Keller, will act as the new dean of women.
