Young A sociologist by profession, an historian by hobby, and a farmer by avocation, that is I)r. Frederick G. Young, head of the school of so ciology of the University of Ore gon. Every Saturday during the winter time, and as much oftener as pos sible during the remainder of the year, the dean quits his sociology books and historical quarterlies and betakes himself to his small farm a couple of miles or so east of Springfield where walnuts, cherries, peaches, and filberts grow in pro fusion. “Instead of knocking a golf ball about,” Dr. Young says, “I stumble over the clods between my cherry trees.” The noteworthy sociologist and the historian of distinction van ish as Dean Young dons overalls to show one of his men how some flourishing young peach tree should be pruned to bring it up in the way it should go, to harvest the crop fro-m some over-loaded cherry, or to superintend the operation of his walnut dryer. Thus he spends his time until darkness and thoughts of his two other occupations send him back to Eugene to finish his com pilation of data on the settlement of the Pacific Northwest or to cor rect papers. - History Investigated Dr. Young’s intense interest in history dates from the days in the later eighties when, a student at Johns Hopkins University, ho be came acquainted with a young in structor named Herbert B. Adams, who, as the dean said, “had a nose for historical research.” Dr. Young, or rather Mr. Young, as he was then, listened to the young man’s talk, and he, too, becamo im bued with the spirit of history which has remained with him to the present day. When the dean came to the Uni versity in 1895, he became thrilled .-« with the possibility of research into the romantic, annals of Oregon his tory, which had not at that time been exploited to any great extent. Lewis and Clark, Jason' Lee, Mar cus Whitmanf, John McLoughin, Captain Gray, all became living fig ures before his eyes as he studied them. “When I first came to the University,” he remarked whimsic ally, “I had’the chair, or rather the bench, of history, sociology, econom ics nnd political science. Since then the regents have sawed off the ends, leaving me my sociology in the middle, but I have continued history as a hobby.” Headed Lewis-Clark Fair Dean Young’s hobby has resulted in some marked contributions to the history and welfare of the Northwest. Jn 1898 he was chosen secretary of the Oregon Historical socioty, and has hold that position ever since as well as editing the quarterly of that organization. In 1904 he was appointed head of the Lewis and Clark fair at Portland. Prom 1907 to 1917 he sponsored Commonwealth Conferences at Eu gene in which the leaders in all fields of activity met to discuss the welfare of the state, and for fifteen years he has edited the quarterly Commonwealth Review. The other day Dean Young was working on some sociological paper when the reporter called. The day before he had completed and sub mitted to President Hall a notation of no less than nine events of vital importance in Oregon History whose centennials, sem;i-centenn',ials, lor sesqui-centennials fall during the year of 1928, together with sug gestions of the proper observance of those anniversaries. After a quarter hour or so of talk of his three occupations, ho excused him self* and hurried away to attend a meeting of the Eugene Fruit Grow ers’ Association, of which he is an active member. United Press (Continued from page one) in tlie history of Chicago was ac companied by no comment from Commissioner Hughes. His only statement was that, “if there is to be any trouble, it will bo in the battle over ward committee men elections.” The extensive police plan, it was said, was made necessary by re fusal of United States Attorney Gen eral John G. Sargent to authorize assignment of special deputy mar shals to Chicago’s primary, which had been requested by United States Marshal Palmer Anderson at Chi cago.

Anyway, this is what it is: 252 Domestic Laundry * to honor an obscure Missouri preach er with their support for the vice presidency have evidently built their merriment upon misinforma tion. Records in the office of Sec retary of State Kozer here indicate that the Rev. Alonzo F. Workman, Joplin (Mo.) preacher, is a candi date for the presidency on the Demo cratic ticket and not for the vice presidency, as reported. As such presidential candidate, he so far has to contend with the claims of the lion. James A. Reed, United States senator, and also from the “show me’’ state. So far the Democrats .of Oregon are without any vice presidential as pirant upon whom to bestow their votes in tho May primary. In this regard they aro not so for tunate as tho Republicans, who have been offered the services of r one William Webster, bailing from Buckrus, Ohio, for this secondary post. While Webster has not yet com pleted his filing, he has indicated his desire to do so, and a blank upon vhich he may comply with the re quirements of the Oregon primary law has now been mailed to him for use. McKenzie Road Plowed - BEND, Ore., April 6.— (UP) — The state highway department rotary plow, being used by the state highway department in the attempt to break a road through the McKen zie pass snows, today was nearing the deep drifts just to the east of the cut, at the east approach to the lava fields. It is expected that the I rotary will bo eating its way into 17-foot drifts by the end of the week. The path made by the plow in its March operations was covered over by the blizzard of last week, it was said by Robert Sawyer, mem ber of the highway commission, and 0. E. Wanser, highway department engineer, who returned Thursday afternoon from a trip to Windy Point. Recent reports from the mile-high divide indicate that the snow is more than 10 feet deep on the Mc Kenzie summit.
