success to the directing and guiding
mind of Professor Gatch. He is one of
the pioneers of pioneers in the line of
higher education of the Pacific Coast,
and now at a ripe age he retires with
the honors and with the blessings of
many of the younger people of the statp,
who were by him directed in the path
way of honor and success. Under his
administration new vigor and new life
were felt in every department. To him
s due in a great measure the splendid
nstitution that now tells upon the ac
tivities and development of the material
resources of Oregon, as well as upon
the social life and character of its citi
zens. "

the summer of 1907,' the Mechanic Arts

At the time of penning these lines (Ap

Kerr said:
"In this great work of industrial ed
ucation, the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege is in harmony with the spirit and
jwlicy of the best land-grant institutions
ot the country, its junction and scope
are clearly indicated in provisions of
the federal and state laws under which
it is maintained. It is the purpose of

The progressive people of Corvallis
are quick to take advantage of every
opportunity that tends to benefit the'
city. This was evidenced last night at
the special meeting of the Corvallis
Commercial Club, Called to consider
proposition from Gerlinger & Mc-
Cready to erect a big saw mill here,
provided substantial help could be had
to buy a site, for when it was found
that the offer was made in good faith,
the Club quickly approved it and by
generous subscriptions assured the
raising of the necessary amount. ,
Gerlinger & McCready's offer was to
construct and equip a modern saw mill
of. at least 35,000 feet daily capacity
and to have it in operation by . October
if half the purchase price of the
site down on Avery's Hats, $1,100,
was contributed by the people of this
city. ;.
The 'proposition was . thoroughly dis
cussed and accepted by the Club and
the work of raising ' subscriptions at
once begun, over half the required
amount being pledged before the
meeting adjourned.
This prompt and commendable action
assures another big industry for
Corvallis, and one that will give a large
and constantly increasing pay roll, for
it is the intention of the new mill
men to enlarge the capacity of the
plant right along and to also operate a
big furniture factory in connection, as
soon as necessary arrangements can
be made.
A few more industries like this would
be the greatest help to the city and
there is plenty of raw material in this
immediate section to supply many such
wood working enterprises.

Fred .Quick Hurt
In Runaway
Fred Quick met with an accident
yesterday obout a mile and a half this
side of Monmouth, which resulted in
his being seriously injured.
He was moving a load of household
goods from here for Samuel Jackson
and at the time had stopped the team
to fix the harness. In doing so he
stood in front of the horses, which
suddenly started, knocking - him down
and rnnning over him, badly cutting
his ankle and seyerely bruising him
about the hip and head.
The horses ran for a considerable
distance and finally ditched the load,
when they were caught.
, Mr. Quick was given every attention
and it is thought that he will not
suffer any permanent serious conse
quences' from the accident.
