IM trunas aad ba4PW DELEGATES FORM COMBINE Jovernor Hay And 'Governor Brady Named for President Dakotas AVant J. ' II. TA'arst, Saying Others Are Only Politicians. SPOKANE, Wash., Oct. 4. Professor Thomas Shaw, agricultural expert of the Great Northern Railway, who .called himself the "heretic that came Into Mon tana and grew fodder corn," told of his experiences tills afternoon before the Dry Farming Congress. "We have had more failures than suc cesses." he said. "My warning to the farmers is to stop gambling in farming." At the conclusion of Professor Shaw's address, there was considerable discus sion. From the floor of the hall came objection to a statement that com could be grown at an altitude of 4000 feet. E. R. Pearson, a previous speaker, said he could grow com at an altitude of 6000 feet and he produced corn which was of excellent quality. The delegates from North Dakota to dny formally launched Professor J. H. Worst, president of the North Dakota Agricultural College, for the presidency of the congress. It is contended that the Dakotas and the entire- Southwest will go solid for Professor Worst, while the Northwestern section will be split on the Northern candidates.

It Is held that Governor Hay, of Washington State, is the leading can didate of the Northwest, with Governor Brady, of Idaho, a close second. The backers of Worst contend that these two candidates represent the political In terests of the convention, as contrasted with the farming Interests Other candidates who are mentioned as possibilities are Representative Scott, of Kansas; Dr. EX A. Bryan, of the Washington State College; F. W. Mon dell. the present president, and Alfred Atkinson, chairman of the board of gov ernors. John T.

HISTORIC STREAM PASSES Oregon Students Must Seek New Xooks for Encouraging Romance. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene. Or., Oct. 4. (Special.) The advance of civilization Is about to remove from these college precincts a charm, which has long fascinated hundreds of young people, and which has spread the fame of Eugene and the State University of Oregon. The mill race, which has al ways seemed to be a part of the uni versity, is to be commercialized. The mill companies in the lower part of town declare that they must have more water power and contemplate broadening the race to a uniform width of ES feet. The banks of the stream are now being cleared of the trees and smaller growths, and sound ings are being taken for a prospective dredging of the channel. University authorities advocated this step some time ago as they feared that the cozy nooks and secluded moorings were conducive to too much romance within the student ranks, and It is guessed by some that the faculty Is behind the present movement. But Inasmuch as condemnation pro ceedings are involved In the matter, it is quite likely that further litigation will be necessary before the canoeists are robbed of their rare pastime.
