Henry Fisher is again in the L.
U. O.
Prof. Wakeman will lecture at
McMinnville next Saturday even­

The students of the L. U. O. are
doing some very good work this
year.
The next issue of the Freethought

out for the Hosmer crew next week.
There will he no Thought Ex­
change meeting next Sunday even­
ing, but look out for notice of the
subject for the next.
The editor is almost covered up
with work this week, the business
manager being away, therefore

The big ’bus starts to run this
morning from the Torch of Reason
office to the University grounds.
Students must be at the office on
time or get left. Last trip, 8:45.
One of the interesting things
about our University is our reading
table, which is nicely managed by
the librarian. The table contains
the best papers and magazines that
the world affords.

met with a loss that is deeply felt.
Mrs. McKay had a life of many
changes, which tested the strength
and worth of her character and her
devotion to the Liberal cause. She
was horn in Missouri, May 5, 1844.
She crossed the continent in the
early fifties and settled in Marion
county, Oregon. She was married
to Leander K. Smith, who met with
death by an accident in 1896. She
was married to her husband, who
