Male portions of tbe congregations immediately followed the pastor' lead, doffed their uncomfortable coats and sermons were delivered to cool men llrteners and shocked wool en members.

At the M-xt meeting of V t vo .m il the vecond step will be takn ion ai d the completion of the gravity system, when an ordinance will be passed calfng for an election to pass upon a barter amendment, which will au thorize the council to Issue water i.onds to the Amount of $500,000, or o much of this amount as la neces- nat y to complete the big gravity sys tem upon which permanent surveys uc now being made. The people of Kugene, last fall. ! tagged an amendment authorizing the iKHue of 1300,000 of water bondH. At 'hat time the estimates that wnre riven for the construction of the gravity system contemplated a I inch wooden pipe, for a distance of 22 mils. This estimate was made about two years ago, but now It Is considered wise to have a 24-inch ilpe, which Increases the expense -tome $83,000. The council will ask the voters to pass on the amendment at once so that there will be no de lay In pushing the world on the grav ity system. By the terms of the sale, the bonds will bear Interest from July 1, and the city will collect all the revenues from that date.

The freahman class entering the University of Ore gon this fall will be by far the largest in Its history. Every Indication points to a freshman registration of 250, and a total enrollment of 600 students, not Including the departments of law and medicine. Last year one-fourth of all high school graduates of Ore gon entered the University of Ore gon, and there Is every reason to be lieve that, an even greater percentage will enter this fall, though the num ber of graduates Is nearly a half larger than last year. Another source that will help awell the number very materially Is the large number of eastern people coming Into the state. Tbe registrator's office receives many letters each week asking Ic credits from eastern high schools will be ac cepted. The demand for catalogues has been unprecedented, and unless all signs fall, next year's enrollment will be a reiurd breaker. PREMIUM FOR POtTI.AXI PORTLAND, July 2 1.
