OF OREGON'S NEEDS
THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CO
LUMBIA BASIN IS SUBJECT
OF LECTURE e
Portland Chamber of Commeroe Trad*
Commissioner Gives Address
Thursday
W. D. B. Dodson, trade commission
er of the Portland Chamber of Com
merce delivered a lecture Thursday
afternoon in Villard Hall on “The
Development of the Columbia Basin."
Discussing his subject, Mr. Dodson
urged his audience to give careful stu
v and consideration of the commerce
and commercial needs of Oregon and
particularly the need for creating wid
er markets. The need for wider mar
kets, he said, was shown in, the fruit
situation in our state.
“The apple crop this year amounts
to 15,000 carloads, and as yet only 20
per cent of the acreage planted is in
bearing. If only 25 per cent of the
remainder reaches maturity, the crop
will reach the enormous total of 180,
000 carloads. If but 10,000 carloads
of thi« total were to be transferred
by water it would necessitate 26 ships
calling at Oregon ports. I need hardly
point out the economic advantage of
this to our ports. The great problem
is the finding, or creation, of a prof
itable market for fruit. Upon the
solving of such problems, I urge you
young men of this state to expend
your best efforts.”
Mr. Dodson described what he called
the short-sightedness of our business
men in shipping products, such as
wool, to the East to be manufactured,
and then bringing the finished product
beak to Oregon at a great economic
loss in freight charge*. He also said
that Oregon was far behind her sister
states with respect to a wider dissem
ination of her products.
“Oregon ships but little dried or
canned fruit beyond her borders, while
California sends the same products to
all parts of the globe.”
The speaker dwelt upon the effect
of the Panama canal tolls on the lum
ber industry.
“The decision of the Panama canal
tolls question is of vital interest to
Oregon lumbermen. The toll, which
amounts to $1.60 per thousand feet
of lumber, may determine whether
Western Douglas fir can compete with
yellow pine on the Atlantic seaboard.”
POIZE S TEN DOLLARS
Offered by Chi Omega to One Having
Best Grade in Sociology
Department
The Chi Omegas offer this year a
prize of ten dollars to the boy or
girl who at the end of the first se
mester receives the highest grade in
the Sociology Department.
Until this fall the prize has been
given for the best essay written on
social service work. In 1912 it was
won by a Beth Rhea, Ruth Stone.
The prize comes through the national
organization as it is their objeet to
promote all possible interest in social
service. They carry on this work not
only by this method, but also through
their alumnae chapters. The work
was started in 1911, and since that
time has grown rapidly.
WAR GIVES AMERICAN
JOURNALISM THE JAUNDICE
“Yellow Journalism” of a new kind
is beginning to appear on the Em
erald exchange table, where the news
papers that come to the Department
of Journalism are received. °The war
is the cause, and is effecting a yellow
ness In the color of the paper because
the manufacturers are unable to get
blueing from Germany. The Milwau
kee Journal, one of the first victims
of the new journalistic jaundice, pre
dicts that within a few months all
papers in the country will be printed
on light yellow or cream-colored pa
per.

HU HIVE INSPIRATION
Meeting in Villard Has Effect of Fill
ing Members With Ambition
° The Freshman class met Thursday
afternoon in Villard Hall for the pur
pose of attempting to instill into the
fearers of the green some vestige of
the traditional “Oregon spirit,” and
to choose a class yell deader. Fred
Peacock was authorized to superintend
the production of a noise machine as
accessory to the spirit move.
Walter Muirhead was elected track
manager to look After the interests
of the Freshman team in the inter
class track meet to be held October
17.
It was urged that the Freshmen or
ganize in order to make an unusually
good showing in the underclass mix,
and at the same time the president
was authorized to appoint a vigilance
committee.
The meeting was opened by Dean
Straub, who gave the class, and es
pecially the boys, a title instruction
on the traditions of the dress suit and
on the topic of loyalty to the Fresh
man girls. Rah, rahs for Oregon
closed the meeting.
Kent Wilson, President of the Fresh
man class, has appointed Homer Kel
lems chairman o fthe bonfire commit
tee Kellems has not yet chosen his
committee, but will publish the nanus
later. Through the efforts of Dean
Straub, faculty advisor of the Fresh
men, the waste material from the re
modeled buildings on the campus has
been hauled to one end of Kincaid
Field. This eliminates most of the
expense and a good share of the work.
The cost of the kerosene to be used
will be about $20.00.
There has been considerable discus
sion within the class whether to have
the fire the night before the Whitman
football game or the O. A. C. game.
The decision will be left with Mana
ger Tiffany.
NEW OREGON MUSEUM TO
CONTAIN RARE SPECIMENS
The new museum, which is now un
der construction and is expected to be
completed in the spring, will contain
many interesting fossils, including the
collection which was made by Profes.
sor Thomas Condon. Professor Con
don was the first professor in Geology
at the University.
One of the features of the present
museum is a cast of the Willamette
meteorite which fell near Oregon City
in 1902. It was found by Mr. Ellis
Hughes, a Welshman who lived in that
vicinity. The meteor, which is now
in the American Museum of Natural
History in New York City, weighs 14
tons, and contains 91 per cent of me
talic iron and about eight per cen> «f
nickel. No other ore in the W Id
contains that percentage of iron, he
purest ore containing about 68 per cent
of iron. The cast which is in the Uni
versity museum Is of plaster and is
an exact duplicate of he original.
Another most interesting specimen
is a portion of the tusk and a complete
tooth of a mammoth. These were
found by Professor W. A. Beer, for
mer principal of the Condon School,
Eugene.
Professor Smith, of the Department
of Geology, has made several addi
tions to the collection.
Next semester the class in Geology
will be given practical work in the
making of relief maps. Such a map
will be made of the “Eugene Quad
rangle,’’ an area including Eugene and
the surrounding vicinity.
The der irtment expects to work
up a compete exhibit for the fair next
year.
