from the car. he was greeted by General
Odell, while all around was dark and
still. Suddenly the glare of a strong light
was thrown upon President Coleman and
General Odell. and the students, hidden
nway in the darkness, burst forth with
the college yell:
College Veil Given With n Vim.
"Rah! Rah!! Rah!!!
Zip! Boom!! Bah!!!
Old Willamette.
Ha! Ha!! Ha!!!"
This was Indeed a surprise for Presi
dent Coleman, for he expected to find all
Salem sleeping, and to be met by only
one representative of the school. At that
Instant the position of the reflecting
lamps was changed, and Its glare was
turned upon the crowd of students. Pres
ident Coleman made a few brief remarks,
expressing his gratitude for this unex
pected reception and assuring the stu
dents of the pleasure he felt In returning
their kindly greeting.

Address of I'rofcsHor Hawley.
"Over 57 years ago our pioneer fathers,
feeling the need of an educational insti
tution in this far Western country, de
cided upon the establishment of this
school. As a result of that determina
tion, they founded the Oregon Institute,
which in later years became Willamette
University. This old Institution, older
than tho State of Oregon, has survived
the storms of time, and now looks for
ward to a future as glorious as its pisL
Within these walls there have been edu
cated the men and women who have ex
erted an Influence for good felt through
out the length and breadth of our state.
Students of this university have gone out
into the world and hivo filled with credit
to themselves and honor to the common
wealth every position In life from the
Governorship to the occupations of every
day toil.
"The school has met adversity, but its
influence for good has never ceased. Feel
ing that the school should occupy a
broader field, the board of trustees has
called to Its management a man who Is
peculiarly fitted by his talents, his train
ing and his experience to conduct its
affairs in its larger sphere of usefulness.
President Coleman Is here. True to the
traditions of the past, wo look forward
to the future with the same spirit which
strengthened our fathers In the work
they so wisely undertook. In Introduc
ing to you President Coleman, I wish to
pledge him the loyal support of tho fac
ulty and students of Wlllametto Univer
sity in the work upon which ho now en
ters." As President Coleman advanced to tho
front of the rosrum, he sudens rose
and expressed their welcome by hearty
and long-continued applause. President
Coleman said:
RcNpoiiKC of President Coleman.
"If I do not succeed in my work at Wil
lamette University. It will not be on ac
count of a lack of enthusiasm In the wel
come extended to me. When I learned
that my train would arrive here before
daylight. I expected to met no one at
the depot except General Odell. I met
General Odell as arranged, and then
well, my opinion of the students of Wil
lamette University was changed when a
light was thrown on me, and then upon
the students. I have learned that you
don't wait for the sun when you start In
to do something.
"I am not so conceited as to think
that this warm reception is Intended as
an expression of regard for me as an
Individual. It is rather a testimonial of
your love for Willamette University an
assurance of your loyal co-operation in
all the work of this institution. Your
devotion is my hope.
"The greatest thing in this Western
country Is the faith of the people faith
in their own institutions. In the re
sources of the country. In the successful
outcome of their own efforts. It was this
faith which laid tne foundation of this
Western empire: this faith will abide
with us as we enter upon the new work
to be undertaken for Willamette Univer
sity. 1 have learned with great satis
faction that your board of trustees has
declared that when the present debt has
been paid, no other debt shall ever bo
contracted. This should be a source of
encouragement to me and to all of us.
"I thank you one and all for the kindly
reception you gave me this morning, for
the warm welcome that has Just been
extended to me. and for the assurance of
your cordial assistanco and support in
my work."
Students Meet Sew President.
Following the exercises, each of the
students was personally introduced to
President Coleman. .The students then
gathered in groups and gave a series of
appropriate college yells, which had been
arranged for the occasion.
President Coleman Is a man of very
pleasing appearance and of commanding
presence. In his new position as presi
dent of Willamette University he will
be" at the head of both the educational
and the business affairs of the Institu
tion. He will be president, in all that
the word Implies. From the eloquent trib
utes which have been paid to Dr. Cole
man by Bishop CranEton and others who
have known him In the East, and from
the good Impression which he hns made
upon the faculty and students upon his
first appearance among: them, It may be
predicted that his work In this commu
nity will bo both pleasant and success
ful. President Coleman will not be In Port
land until some time next week or later.
On Sunday he will occupy the pulpit of
the First Methodist Church In this city.

ST. HELENS, Or., Feb. 21. The Bridal

surveyors working on a proposed logging
railroad line back of Columbia City. The
survey crosses the Northern Pacific near
the Columbia City depot and parallels
tho Northern Pacific to a point back of
Deer Island, where It enters the green

amount of timber land in this vicinity,
and it Is reported that they will assist
in this enterprise. It Is proposed tb put
in a large sawmill plant Just below Co
lumbia City, where there Is an excel
lent site, with first-class boomage privi
leges, as well as deep water for loading
large vesels. This line will be extended
up Tide Crock and to the head of Milton

SCOBEY RENOMINATED FOR REGISTER OF OLYMPIA
LAND OFFICE '
HIS SELECTION IS CONSIDERED QUITE A CONCESSION TO SENA.
TOR FOSTER.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 21. Senator Foster won hto ficht today In oecurlnc; the
renomlnatlon of J. O'B. Scobey as Register of tho Olympla Land Office. Scobey
was bitterly opposed, and many charges were made against him. Hla selection Is
considered quite a concession to Senator Forter. Mr. Scobey Is or.e of the Im
portant political factors of Southwestern "Washington. From being an ardent sup
porter of cs-Senator "Wilson, he has become a member of the circle around Sena
tor Foster. He did not BUpport Mr. Foster for election in 1800. but he will un
doubtedly do all ho can for the Tacoma man In the future, and therein Is to be
found the reason of the Senator's actlvo fight In his behalf. Mr. Scobey Is popu
larly supposed to havo Thurston County in his pocket.
in all probability the St. Helens mill
would be lined up and put In shape for
cutting door stock this Spring. It will
require about 5CO0O to put this mill In
shipo to do the work desired. If the
mill is fitted up It will be installed with
tho latest machinery for cutting "door
stock. Just now there is a great de
mand for fir doors. A manufacturer of
fir doors says it is easier to contract for
100,000 fir doors now than it was to con
tract for 10.000 a year ago.

WANT CHINESE COOKS TO GO.
Baker City Waiters' Union Will
Make Flht on CclcNtlals.
BAKER CITY. Feb. 2. There is trouble
brewing for the Chinese cooks In this
city. A branch of tho Cooks' and Walt
ers' Union has been organized, and It Is
etated that one of the first moves will be
to call upon the proprietors of hotels and
restaurants to discharge their Chinese
cooks and employ white men. Most of
the cooks employed In this city are China
men. White cooks are scarce, so when
the order is Issued for the cxpulrfon of
the Chinamen, trouble Is expected.
Snrvey for City Sewernge System.
The City Council has decided to have a
survey made for a city sewerage system,
for the purpose of determining how much
it will cost. If it is within the limit of
the city finances the improvement will be
ordered. Otto A. Welle, a sanitary engi
neer, from Spokane, is here for the pur
pose of conferring with a special commit
tee of the Council. It has been discov
ered that it will be impracticable to use
the river for an outlet, because the fall
is not sufficient. A pumping station will
ne necessary and a sewerage farm will
J have to be provided. The necessary fall
could probably be obtained by extending
the outlet for some distance down the
valley and then the river could be used
as an outlet. The committee and engi
neer will make a thorough Investigation,
and report to the Council at the next ses
sion. Street Inntead of District Fair. -
The Chamber of Commerce is consider
ing a proposition for a street fair this
year that will be free In all departments.
Including the Midway attractions.
By the terms of the state law. which

the first district fair should be held in
Baker City this year. There Is nothing
In the shape of a fairground In or near
this cltS suitable for holding a district or
any other kind of a fair, such as the law
contemplates.
George Eble, president of the District
Fair Association, has offered to turn over
the stato appropriation of $1500. to be
used to provide premiums for livestock
and agricultural products to be exhibited
at the street fair.
