MGEDY OF HR
STUNS UNIVERSITY
Measures Are Being Considered
for Prevention of Accidents
in the Future.
Whereas, Almighty God, in His in
finite wisdom, has seen fit to remove
from our midst our late friend and
fellow-student, Owen D. Whallon, and
Whereas, by his death the Univer
sity of Oregon has lost one of its
most earnest and respected students,
therefore, be it
Resolved, by the associated stu
dents of the University of Oregon that
to his sorrowing family we extend our
deepest sympathy, and be it further
Resolved, that a copy of these res
cdutions in behalf of our beloved
friend be sent to his family, and that
a copy be transcribed on the records
of the associated students of the Uni
versity of Oregon, and that a copy
be published in the student publica
tions.
All efforts to recover the body of
Owen Whallon, of Nampa, who was
drowned last Sunday night when canoe
No. 7 containing James Cossman, Orval
Rasor and Lawrence Underwood enp
slzed, have been futile.
Walter Sterling, professional diver,
■pent yesterday in grappling and exam
ining the river bottom, finally giving up
the hope of recovering the body before
Friday, when it is expected to rise. He
returned to Portland this morning.
C. V. Whallon, the father of Owen
Whallon, arrived last night and spent the
morning out on the Tiver. Heart-broken
over the tragedy, he has settled down at
Friendly hall, insisting that he wanted
to be around with the boys.
During the persistent search conduct
ed by the students, the three surviving
companions were active, a heartbroken
trio.
An effort is now being made to safe
guard students against future danger.
The tragedy did not involve breaking the
rule prohibiting the shooting of the rap
ids, but was accidental and due to losing
tho course in the darkness.
At Tuesday's meeting of the student
council a motion that the executive com
mittee act upon u resolution to spare no
expense in recovering the body as soon
us possible.
President Campbell addressed the stu
dents at the regular student body meet
ing yesterday, urging care. lie said:
“Acting upon tho suggestion of Max
Sommer, the student body unanimously
favored u resolution recommending thnt
faculty and student council formulate
such regulations as they see fit to pre
vent such accidents in the future.”
Resolutions of condolence to tho stu
dents and friends were passed by the as
sociated students.

Whirlwind Finish Is Feature of
Prepper - Frosh Game;
Comeback Promised.
In a whirlwind finish, the Eugene high
school baseball team nosed out the Uni
versity “Frosh” by scoring one run in
the ninth inning, the final score being 5
to 4. The game was loosely played but
intensely interesting at times. Babb,
the local prep phenom, opposed Wilson
on the mound. Both pitched “A” class
ball, and but for inopportune boots by
their team mates, the score would prob
ably have been 1 to 0, in the TOers’ favor.
The “Frosh” scored first, making one
run in tho first. The score stood until
the sixth inning, when the “Babes” went
up for a record ascension, and the prep
ers loped across the plate for three runs.
They scored again in the seventh, when
Manreud, their speedy shortstop, poled
one of Wilson’s groove balls for two
bags, and a combination of hits and er
rors brought him in.
It looked decidedly bad for the Frosh
at this stage of the game and some of the
spectators moved away when they were
retired in the first of the eighth with
a blank. They reciprocated, and dealt
the high schoolers three outs in four
bulls over. In the last frame, Bowen
up, walkod and stole second. Fox and
Alexander both fanned after taking three
“Ouisto” style swipes at the ball. Mor
fitt clouted tho first ball over for a
single, the first hit for the green cap
pers, scoring Bowen. Hunt was sent, in
as a pinch-hitter, and pickled the onion
for two bags, scoring Morfitt nnd tying
up the game. Farley grounded out to
Manreud.
It looked like on extra inning game un
til Holcomb dropped the pellet and two
of Coach Fenton's proteges were on.
Maureud, clean-up hitter came through
for a long boot to right center, which
Alexander got his fingers on, but lost
and the game was over.
A second game will he plnyod some
time this week and the Frosh, according
to their captain and shortstop. Jay Fox,
aro going to come back strong.

G. e, SHOWN SPEAKS
ON SCH LANDS
Secretary of Board Explains
Present Conditions and His
tory to Economic Students.
The present financial condition of the
school land fund), as well as its history,
were explained | to Or. F. G. Young’s
class in economics of state administra
tion yesterday In Guild hall by G. G.
Brown, secretary of the board.
The body has entire control over the
common school , fund which is derived
chiefly from the sale of the lands. This
fund now totals almost $0,000,000 and
is loaned on first farm mortgages at 6
per cent interest.
The board also has charge of and loans
the Agricultural college fund of $193,
909.67; the University of Oregon fund
of $100,958.82; and the Burbank trust
fund of $24,350.'
“By the act of admission of February
14, 1859, sections 16 and 36 in every
township were set aside to the state for
the benefit of schools. There were also
46,080 acres set apart for the use and
support of the State University.
"In addition to these special reserva
tions, 6400 acres were to be selected by
the governor folr the purpose of com
pleting public bpildings, or for the erec
tion of others at the seat of government.
This was known as the capitol building
grant.
“The question arises whether, if the
school lands had been withheld from sale
as suggested by some critics of the man
agement of the J fund, they would have
been of enough greater value to sell at
a later date for ,a sum equalling the to
tal of the present fund of $6,390,889.0S
and the interest which has been dis
tributed amounting to $6,758,207.66. In
the meantime, many struggling school
districts have been aided by the yearly
distribution of interest, which has al
most invariably increased.
"It must be remembered that by the
time the law became effective all these
best sections in th Willumtte, Umpqua,
und Rogu Itiver valleys had been sold
and other land had to be taken in lieu.
"The present unsold land in the state
totals about 625,000 acres. Up to this
time, 2,949,051.14 acres of the school
fund'lands have'been sold, the nverage
price being $2.16 per acre.”
Money Buys yotes for Miss Edel
Fraasch as Rose Festival
Queen.
"Say, you, have you bought your tic
ket to the dancej” What dance? is ask
ed. Why the big benefit dance Friday
night in the Armory to help buy votes
for Miss Fraasch, our candidate for
queen of the Portland Rose festival.”
This is the line handed out by the sev
eral students selling tickets for the dance
next Friday night.
“This promises to be a hummer af
fair," said S. Dike Hooper, secretary of
the chamber of commerce, and a member
of the campaign committee, which met
in the chamber <|>f commerce last night.
"This is a big social, informal affair and
questionable characters will not be al
lowed on the floor.”
Arrangements have been made with
the Eugene Municipal band to furnish
the music for the dance. Several novel
stunts have been provided as part of the
program. A few sketches and songs
are to be put ori by several Fniversity
students. A special feature has been
arranged for the evening which the com
mittee claim is the best yet.
The grand march will begin at S:o0
led by Miss Edfl Fraasch and Amos
West, president of the Atlas club.
Next Monday, May S, is to be special
day at the Rex theatre. The management
has promised to turn over a percentage
of the receipts on that day to buy votes
for Eugene’s candidate. The Eugene
Radiators are going to act as ushers and
announcers.
The city that elects the queen of the
festival will be entitled to name the
king. Those leading in the race for
queen are beginning to look around for
a suitable king.
A resolution indorsing Miss Edel
Fraasch and pledging support in the
campaign was unanimously adopted by
the student body Jit assembly Wednesday
morning.
