New pupils for the public schools were in the market and put ' books .for that purpose in great demand, and all the dealers did a : thriving Dusiness, nor some time Monday forenoon three clerks were kept busy at tierDarcie, nanoing out books, tab lets and other supplies required by school pupils. The opening of the college Monday with eeveral hundred students set up another demand which is not yet satisfied and will not be for some time. The book business In (Jorvallis at this season runs into thousands of dollars. . , V In a window at Graham & Worth am's there is an orange. It is an in teresting orange to look at, because it Is an Oregon orange. It was grown on an orange tree m the dooryard of Jacob Chambers in Kings v Valley. The tree is producing its second crop this year. Last, year's season the number of oranges that It bore was 50. This year the tree is again bear ing, and so far 13 oranges have ma tured.

A member of Jesse Spencer's party which went to the big prune orchard discovered the purse between Dixon creek and the Swick farm house, and it was restored to tbe owner as soon as be wa known, ' 1 A Flood of New Students They Come - From all Quarters The College. Organization of classes at the col lege is complete now, and recita tions begin this morning.; Though more than 200 new students 'are on hand,'; they have already learned the routine, and arguable to find their plaees "'. with precision. For 48 hours the 30 members of the faculty have had their hands full in passing upon the credentials of new applicants, in assigning them desired places -m the ' various coursesjand in bringing orderout of chaos. Four -"hundred young people, threading their way through the labyrinths of preliminary ' or ganization makes a buzz and bustle next to terrific. The . spectacle, when all are in motion, seeking this professor's room or another's, getting indorsements of matricula tion cards, entering their names on the rolls iu the registrar's office, and performing , the other stunts necessary to - admission is most ' in teresting to an observer. It fills the corridors, the offices and tbe stairways of ' , the ' ; administration building to the utmost, and tbe ov erflow spreads 'o Meckanioal Hall and and Agricultural -Hall. The movement, during the opening hours is "incessant as the : bustle of bees. The storm centers in the registrar's office where enrollment takes place, and in the president's office where, doubtful . questions relative to admission are passed upon. The clerk's office, too, is al most equally overrun.' for that is the ante room to the " executive throne, and is the place where the financial and other matters are disposed of. From these places, the streams of young folks radiate to the various departments, form ing an intricate system of which those who have never seen it, can form but little conception. The college buildings are full of new faces. A little Eastern Ore gon neighborhood that sent ' three new students last year, returned its little quota this time with six ad ditional applicants "for admission. Lewisville. Polk county, did a similar stunt, in sending new people Jackson county hurries in a con tingent ; of - husky, young men, among whom is one - that stands six feet two in his stockings, Some jof the bid counties that have stood so well by the,;Institution in past years, are fully as loyal as ev er this year," and Linn, Marion and Polk, Yamhill, .and even Washing ton have large ..; delegations. Scarcely less loyal are ' Clackamas, Lane and -Douglas The percent age of new students is not yet known, but it is no falling off, It may be greater than at any , time 1 BUT ONE HAND.' N9W. Lost the Other in an Accident Monday . . lucuarii aeon. . . j Richard Scott, son-in-law of-Man-1 iy vmrier ana a tnruiy young tar mer of Southern Benton, has . but one hand now. To the great grief of his friends, Mr.': Scott lost the other in an accident Monday aiter nofj.ri. vThe injury was such, that surgeons had to amputate the mem ber at the spot .where the hand joiri the wrist. It is the left hand that -is gone. - - , ' TJie accident happened while Mr. Sco?t was working-with a traction engine that was to be used : as the motive power in chopping grain, andjalso in sawing winter's wood. Byome means the hand came in contact with a cog wheel of the en ginwhile the latter was in motion. A laceration resulted that ground thengers except the thumb,-- and themidd!e.'porti-n of the hand al mos.into a pulp The front ''por ti6rrf the thumb alone was spared, though the - back of that member was so torn that it could not be saved. The ' surgeons were Drs. Lee:and Farra, and for a time they eotftdered the .possibility of saving the thumb, but: after determiiiing tha$. the effort would be both useless as well as dangerous, they removed the hand at the joint of the wrist. Ne-wS of the accident was received with much regret in Corvallfs, where Mr Scott has many friends. A SEAT OF STONE. That is the Memorial Erected at O.A.C.

Saturday afternoon EH King treated the Times force to a liberal feed of fine peaches. They were of the variety known as the Alberta Ireestone, and in sizo and flavor sur pass any fruit of tbe kind heretofore exhibited in Corvallls without excep tion. Unfortunately Mr. King has but one tree and that is just no.w be ginning to bear well. Several years ago Sol King procured three trees of this variety from the state of New York, One he planted in his orchard, one on the north side of his farm res idence and the third he planted on the south side. The latter is the only one which did any good, Large quantities of such peaches grown here would add greatly to the fame of the Willamette valley as a fruit produc ing country. r, . ' Good clothes for boys. Nolan & Callahan. . in the past. -Figures are yet im possible, because of "the herculean work applied to the task of getting organization complete without loss Of time. ' ::'-::- - 'yi - : Of the vacancies in the faculty, there are either temporary or , per manent supplies on hand, and. ev ery class is in motion. Clare Gatch Wheeler is ? temporarily at the bead of the art department, while a permanent supply made necessary by the resignation- of Mr. ' McLouthan be secured. Mrs. Wheeler formerly held a similar position in the University of Wash ington. In the woodwork department, Mr. Jackson, the well known ath lete, is organizing the classes. He has always been markedly profici ent in woodworking, ;and is able to carry the work along with his studies. ' ' ' In the department, of German and history, from which Miss Chamberlin has a year's leave' of absence, Prof. Schmitt is the sup ply. He is highly educated, and is a man of fine ability and extensive experience. W. O Trine, who is director, vice J. B. Patterson, re signed, is to be in the gymnasium on the 1st of October, and all the students look torward to his com ing with pleasant anticipation. AH the signs indicate a . bigger college than ever this year.' If the final enrollment falls - below 600, those in fullest touch with the - sit uation will be disappointed. It has long been the custom of graduating classes of large insti tutions to leave something as a lasting memorial of their - friend ship to their alma mater, but not until the last two years has this been the custom at OAC, the class of 902 being the first. .They erect ed k fountain, and tbe class of 1903 very properly has fallen into line. Their gift to the institution is to be Completed and placed during the present week, t It is to consist of a fine stone seat five feet in length wrpught from gray sand stone.

" It has been the . aim of the workmen so far as possible to leae the stone in its rugged state butno pains have been spared for comtort. .. . : ' . . The emblem is quite a costly one yet the entire expense has been met by personal contributions of the class and the. execution and de- I tail, which was left to the personal direction of Miss EfHe Michael, a' member of the class of 1903,: has been well performed. ; With two such examples the fountain and the seat, succeeding classes will do well to consider the subject early in their early college years if they are to even rival such as these.
