LAKE RESIGNED... AT MEETING WRDNESDAY . AFTERNOON OF BOARD OF REGENTS. .1 - ' . . . Purchase of Hog? Tract for Col lege at a Cost of Six Thousand n M - T i.: n . jx i t j tr--Other Corvallis News, The resignation of E. R Lake, who has been professor of botany and horticulture at the college for the past six years was! present ed at a meeting of the board of regents of the Agri'ml tural College Wednesday, afternoon." The resig nation was accepted, and is to take effect at the end of the current col lege year. The executive commit tee was authorized to select a suc cessor. The action ot Prof. Lake is un derstood to have come as a surprise to both his friends and the mem bers of the board, He is one of tbe most energetic as well as one of the most capable educators in his line in the country, and the severing of his connection with the college is much regretted by his friends. It is understood that at present, Prof. Lake has no definite plans tor the future. :. The annoancsment by the build ing committee of the purchase of the 20 acres of land known v as the Hogg place, and the ratification of the committee's action by the board, was one of the features of Wednesday's meeting The., price r;A v.- -v.A : - . one time the board had an option on the property at $5,000, but was without means at that time to make the purchase. The land ad joins the college farm on the east and south, and its east line is the boundary of the city limits on the west. A portion of it is in use at present as athletic grounds and is ultimately to serve as a parade and drill grounds for the cadet battal ion. The tract is a desirable ad dition to the college farm.' A resolution requiring the publication in the catalogue of a list of text books was adopted. The same reso ution provides (hat in case local dealers will not supply students with text books at list iprices, the presidenl of the college shall secure them from publishers, or others. , Another resolution declares it -to e the purpose of the board to hold instructors responsible for an ab normal number of failures in class es, and directs the president of the college to take cognizance of and investigate such cases. The sum of $150" each was vated to Prof.s Covell and Clyde Phillips for extra services in connection with the construction of the addition to the heating plant, and in other lines. The action was recommended Dy me uuuaing committee under whose direction the service ren oereu. There was ati extended discussion of the fact of the comparatively small attendance of girls at the ? college as contrasted with the atten dance of boys, and of the causes for the condition. . Statistics were quo ted to show that, formerly the at. tendance of the sexes was about equal, bur that in recent years while the attendance of boys has shown a remarkable increase, there has been but little grbwth in numbers of the ' other sex; Various speculations were indulged in but no action was taken. It developed that there is a general sentiment on the board for the erection of a Woman's Bail ding with better accommodations than the present, and , it is likely that such a building will ' be the next to be erected on the college campus. A sentiment in favor of askinsr legislative aid for such a project was expressed. It is probable that the college will accept the request of the mana gers, and maintain and prepare a growing exhibit on a twelve, acre tractat the 1905 Fair. The matter was discussed at length by the board, and was finally referred to the ex . ecutive committee. The general sentiment was verv favorable to the plan. It was agreed, that the show ing that the college would be able to make would be first of all highly beneficial to the whole state of Ore gon, in that it would present in a compact form the resources of the state, and give Eastern visitors op portunity to observe at a glance something of what is possible in the climate and soil of. Oregon. At the same time, it was the opinion ' that an immense benefit would ac crue to the college in the prominen ce the dismay would give to the institution.

FATHER WANTS DAMAGES; For Child Broken Leg Hakes Claim Against College Stone Seat Acci- dent " :; Damages are sought from the college authorities by the father nf the little girl whose leg was broken last autumn by Itae falling of a por tion of the stone seat on the campus beneath which the child's limb was caught. The seat it will be remem bered was-placed there as a ' class monument by the graduating class of 1903. For some reason (the ce ment applied in uniting the back with the rest of the seat was inef fective for the -purpose, and while the child stood behind it, the heavy stone fell It was with J extreme difficulty that the little one was ex tricated from her position, and car ried to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Handsaker, with whom she was visiting. The father of the child is named E. S. Hornady. and he resides in Lane county. At ' Wednesday's meeting of the board of regents, he presented a bill, asking damages in the sum of $200, on account of the accident. Amo'ng the items of damage upon which he bases his claim are, surgeon's fee, nurse for October and November, $25: incidentals, medicine, etc, $25; loss of time to father, six days, at $2 soJty loved sister, Mr?, Ntttie E Bu- per day. $15; loss of time of child from school, two and one half months, and damage to nervous system, $100: total $200. The claim was referred to Pres ident Weatherford of the board with power to act THESE TO SERVE. As Judges aud Clerks of Election Ap- - pointments Made Thursday.

To Determine Whether or not Corval- lisites Want Good Theatrical At tractions. Among those who like to attend theatres, the remark is frequently heard, "Well, I wonder why the Opera House management don't get a good play once in a while The management have wondered if the public really meant what it said, and believing that the people of Corvallis are as much entitled to one else, they are presenting' on next Wednesday night, a company of players that Jiave been ' every where well received. The play is, "Are you a Mason?" jsow being played for the fourth year, arid which ran for a week at the Colum bia theatre in San Francisco two weeks ago.; On the 18th, it begins an engagement at the Marquam in Portland The play itself is a de cidedly "high class attraction, no clog dancing and vaudeville, but a standard play something on the or der ot "My Friend irom India," so well known to Corvallis.. people. The prices to be charged in Port land are 50 cents to St .so. - In Cor vallis. the first three rows will be $ 1. the remainder of the : reserved seats, 50 and 75 .. cents.'. ' While these prices are somewhat higher than usual, the play is better than usual. Sale of seats begins Tues day morning. If you don't attend this play, don't complain because the Opera House does not bring high class attractions. ' I( is up to you. TO HER MEMORY. Mrs. Nettie E. Buchanan Tribute From her Church Society.
