UHEGONVCITY ENTEEPEISE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1905.
LEARN TO FARM
SHORT COURSE IN AGRICULTURE
AT CORVALLIS.
Splendid Lectures In Agriculture, Hor
ticulture and Dairying by
Experienced Men.
To give Oregon farmers who are
unable to pursue a four-year course In
the Agricultural College, a share in
the advantages of higher education,
the College has for many years con
ducted Farmers' Institutes in various
parts of the State. But the Institute,
while It has its place, has developed
another movement of perhaps great
er importance, that of holding a more
extended Institute known as the Short
Course in Agriculture, Horticulture
and Dairying.
The main conception of such schools
is that they are places where people
from the farm and orchard practical
farmers and fruit growers can un
derstanding study the application of
some of the fundamental laws of their
occupation. In announcing the Short
Course we feel that we can make it
thoroughly practical for any intelli
gent agriculturist, and that we can
make scientific agriculture and horti
culture both educational and useful.
Such a course covers a field which on
account of lack of time and apparatus
for illustration cannot be undertaken
in the regular Farmers' Institutes.
The course consists of a series of
popular lectures along lines suited to
aid horticulturists, dairymen and oth
ers engaged in agricultural pursuits
In developing the great natural re
sources of our State. The lectures are
all supplemented by laboratory work
under the supervision of experts who
strive to make the course thoroughly
practical by adapting the work so far
as possible to the needs of each indi
vidual. The primary study of things
rather than books, and there is al
ways kept in mind the practical side
of the matter under discussion. Little
time is spent in purely theoretical
discussion.
There will be no educational test.
No special preparation is necessary
as the Instruction will be given by lec
tures and practical work. It is the
aim of this course to give to the stud
ent the largest possible amount of
practical information regarding the va
rious phases of agriculture and horti
culture. An important source of information
for those attending this course is the
Station and College library where the
best books on agriculture, horticul
ture and dairying are found. The bul
letins of the experiment stations of
all the States in the Union are on file
at the College and will be at the com
mand of any one wanting them. These
bulletins are invaluable as being about
the only source from which one can
get information as to the present sta
tus Of, and the progress that is being
made in agricultural matters.
An effort will be made to direct the
reading along particular lines in such
a way that the reader will get in touch
with the progressive work that is be
ing done in his particular occupation.
The first lecture of the series will
be given at 9:00 A. M., January 8,
1906, and the course will close Friday.
January 19, 1906.

ARCHBISHOP VISITS POPE PIUS X.
Head of Catholic Church in
May Be Honored.
Oregon
New York, Dec. 3. "His holiness
Pope Pius X sends his greetings to the
Catholics of Oregon and the Pacific
fcoast, and extends to them his richest
blessings. He is deeply interested in
their welfare, and shall always be
mindful of them in his prayers."
The above is the message from the
holy father to the Catholics of Ore
gon, brought back by Archbishop
Christie, of the Archdiocese of Ore
gon, who reached this port yesterday
on his return from Rome, where he
has been highly honored by the pope.
The archbishop arrived on the steam
ship Princess Irene, in the company
of Right Rev. James F. Hartley, of
Columbus, O., and othei distinguished
American churchmen. Their passage
was a verw stormy one, and it became
necessary several times during the
voyage for theh prelates to calm the
fears of the passengers, who were
panic-stricken by the storm.
On his arrival in this city, Arch
bishop Christie went to the residence
of Rev. Luke J. Evers, of St. Andrew's
Church, where he almost immediately
retired, being exhausted by the rough
ness of the passage. When seen today
by the Oregonian correspondent, he
seemed much refreshed by his rest,
and was enthusiastic over the results
of his mission to Rome.
My pilgrimage surpassed my ut
most expectations," said he. "The re
ception given us by the holy father,
the deep and abiding interest shown
by him in our work, and the spiritual
and temporal welfare of the people
under our charge, is all that could be
desired.
"So impressive is his presence that
you feel, when talking to him, that
you are communing with a great uni
versal father, with a heart as large as
the world, which includes in its yearn
ings the meanest and poorest soul,
the distressed and the sorely tried,
whoever they may be. His spirituality
and ferver are so contagious that no
Catholic can depart from an audience
with him without being revivified, go
ing forth with greater earnestness and
power to accomplish the misson of
our blessed Lord and increase his holy
church.
"The holy father appeared to be in
excellent health, and inquired anxious
ly about the condition of the church
in America. He seemed greatly 're
joiced when he learned of the progress
we had made and advised us pater
nally about the difficulties with which
we have to contend.
"In addition to my audience with
the holy father to receive his blessing
which, of course, was the prime mo
tive of my trip to Rome, which I un
dertook in the fulfillment of my duty,
there aire so many things of interest.
especially to a churchman, about the
sacred city, that I hardly know where
to begin talking about them. With
each succeeding visit I am more deep
ly awea ana impressed by the city's
great history and the wonderful monu
ments of the church to be found there.
"There are the splendid churches
of St. Peter and St Paul and St. John
Lateran, with their great collections
of sacred art of surpassing beauty,
aouDiy interesting to the Catholic as
expressions of our holy religion and
as masterpieces of human handicraft.
Besides these great churches, there
are hundreds of minor and less re
nowned churches, many of which I
visited.
Then there are the wonderful in
stitutions of learning in Rome, sur
passing anytnmg we yet have, the
great library of the Vatican, with its
vast collection of the works of the
fathers, and many other things of al
most equal interest. There is so
much in Rome to instruct and inspire
that one is almost compelled to la
ment the shortness of life when h
looks about him and finds so much to
learn and to do in so brief a time as
is allotted to man.
"Yet, with all that, I am glad to get
back to my own home and people,
among whom my work lies, to a land
fraught with so vast a future that I !
am almost overpowered when I re- j
. AT-- l ...
uc" upon me opportunities ot ac
complishing great work for our holy
religion which are offered me hpre
j My trip was a hasty one, as I was call
ed away rather earlier than I expect
ed, and I am returning at my. earliest
opportunity after my duty was ful
filled. "I shall start immediately for the
Coast, and shall reach there as soon
as possible. I cannot tell exactly
what day I will arrive in Portland, as
I will have to stop over far one day in
Chicago on archdiocesan business,
and may go to St. Paul for a few hours
I am sure I shall be there by next
Sunday, however, possibly a day ear
lier." The archbishop expressed himself
as extremely grateful when told of
the preparations being made to re
ceive him on his return home.
"That is a city and a people to love."
he exclaimed. "No one in the East
should miss an opportunity of visiting
the Pacific Slope at least once. He
has not seen America and does not
understand our country's great re
sources until he does."
1 1 was said by priests who were with
Archbishop Christie in Rome that he
had made a profound impression on
the pope for his depth of character
and scholarly attainments and when
the Vatican decides to honor Ameri
ca with a second cardinalate, it is
more than likely that the Oregon pre
late will be the recipient of the red
hat.
It is further suggested that His Holi
ness has been anxious to grant the
Pacific Coast further recognition, inas
much as it was originally Catholic
ground and remained so for three cen
turies while under the dominion of
Spain and Mexico.
The archbishop left at noon today
for the West, via the Pennsylvania
route. . . -
COUGHING SPELL CAUSED DEATH
"Harry Duckwell, aged gt years,
choked to death early yesterday morn
ing at his home, in the presence of his
wife and child. He contracted a slight
cold a few days ago and paid but lit
tle .attention to it. Yesterday morning
he was seized with a fit of coughing,
which continued for some time. His
wife sent for a physician but before
he could arrive, another coughing spell
came on and Duckwell died from suffo
cation. St. Louis Globe Democrat,
