pla when the registration books for the
coming election closed last night. Two
years ago, at the time of 4he last Presi
dential election, there were but 1035 reg

considered -due more to increase In popu

A slight mist prevailed a portion of tho

to interfere with the pleasure- of the oc
casion or to prevent the guests from vis

ings. From 12 M. to 3 P. M. all Corvallis
business houses were closed, and busi

effort in extending hospitality to the

the coura3 of his remarks declared that
the Agricultural College of Oregon was
now, not only In theory but In fact a
typical and practical institution, devoted
to agricultural Industry and instruction.
Address by Governor Geer.
Governor Geer delivered the dedicatory
address. He said that thl3 Is a great day
for tho Agricultural College. He had first
become familiar with the institution 12
years ago, when as a member of the edu
cational committee of the Legislature he
had visited the institution for investiga
tion of Its affairs. Its development since
that time had, he declared,, been such as
to gratify every citizen of the state famil
iar with its methods and achievements.
From a small denominational school then
it had, under wise management and state
and National aid, developed 'into ' a great
educational institution; serving the entire
state, and was working Important changes
in the methods of agrlculturlsta Its mis
sion is to- teach young men how to be"
scientific In farm .and workshop, and to be
proud of such a means of livelihood.
Oregon-is now buying of other states a
carload per day of products of the same
character that sho herself produces. ' It
was so two years ago, and, according to
the statement of the State Food Commis
sioner, it Is so now. Oregon must herself
grow these products that she now buys,
before she can attain that high prosperity
for which sho is by nature fitted. To en
deavor t6 show our farmers how to grow
rather than buy these articles of consump
tion is a part of the fiinction'of tho Agri
cultural College, and the Institution Is
swiftly and. steadily leading on In that
direction. The provision by the board,
with the assistance of the state, of the
new building, devoted to agricultural ex
periment and instruction, Is ItseK an evi
dence of advancement along these llnca
.In conclusion, Governor Geer said that,
in. behalf of the people of Oregon he ac
cepted the building", and that he hoped
and believed that It3 future uso would
redound to the common good.
Governor-elect Chamberlain, who was on
the progra'mme for an address, was un
able to be present The following tele
gram from him was received:

gramme. "GEORGE E. CHAMBERLAIN."
Austin T. Buxton, lecturer. of the State
Grange, delivered a. brief address on the?
"Relation of the Agricultural College to
the Grange." He said that the" Grange
,had always worked for the upbuilding of
the college, and' -that to the efforts of the
former was due much of the advancement
of the Institution.

HARMLESS HAZING AT EUGENE.
Freshmen Arc Initiated Into the
Mysteries of Colle&e Life.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON,- Eugene.
Oct. 15. (Special.) Late last night the
bold and wise sophomores gave the shy
andTvary freshmen their -annual initiatory
exercises, which introduced the inexperienced-gentlemen
to the true spirit of col
lege life. For several days past the
"sophs" have- been planning, new and In
genious Jokes to play on their under
classmen, and last night their schemes
were brought to a climax. Much strata
gem had to be exercised in gaining pos
session of the "freshles," who were at
their rooms of study, and In several In
stances the "green"lads were not as slow
as their elder brethren, whom they evaded
by flight or hiding. After a dozen or
more of the freshmen were eoljected, the
"beginners' class," as they are called, was
rushed to the university campus, where
its members, individually and collectively,
furnished an hour or so of practical but
harmless fun for the crowd of sophomores.
Today all is quiet and peaceful, and no
bad "humor Is evident. Tho only remain
ing signs of tc midnight maneuver are a
few shreds of clothing and a half-filled
can of sugared oysters near the east en

Superintendent Advocates Radical
Rules Against Vive.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15. The adoption
of radical precautionary measures for
protection from forest fires is advocated
in the annual report of the Acting Super
intendent of the Yosemlte National Park,
which has been received at the Interior
Department. The report recommends
that for this purpose, stricter regulations
be Issued by the department regarding
campers visiting In the park, and that
fallen and decayed trees and pine needles
and other Inflammable matter In the for
ests be burned annually and systematical
ly. It Is also urged that stringent meas
ures be adopted to provent the constant
trespassing of sheep-herders with their
destructive bands of sheep on the reserv
ation, as no adequate punishment is now
provided for sucn acts, it is proposed to
ask Congress to make the trespassing in
tho park- a misdemeanor, punishable by
fine or imprisonment.
Other recommendations in the report are
for the enactment of a law extinguishing
the titles to land within the park limits;
to aid In keeping stock dff the grazing
lands, and to protect the flsh In the lake3
and streams, an1 the Government owner
ship of all the roads built to accommodate

MURDER SECOND DEGREE
VERDICT REACHED BY JURY IN
MARKLEY CASE, AT SALEM.
John 31. Genrln Made Eloquent Plea
. for Defendant Stnte's Case Was
Wholly Circumstantial.
. SALEM, Or., Oct 15. (Special.) Thri
Jury in the case of J. F. -Markley. on trial
for the murder of J. D. Fain, at Cham
poeg. on June 25, 1902, after being out five
hours returned a verdict of murder In tho
second degree,, at 6:30 tonight. . The case
has. been in the court three days. The
court will pass judgment Saturday mom
.ing at 9 o'clock.
Arguments in the case were completed
at noon today. JJhn MI Getfrin made a
very eloquent pica for the defendant. In
which he contended that there was no
evidence to connect Markley with the
crime, except the Tact that the shooting
occurred in the rear of his store. The
evidence showed that the bullets entered
Fain's body and ranged downward, indi
cating that the man who shot Fain stood
on higher ground than did his victim. The
evidence also showed that the shooting
occurred on a hillside, and that when
first seen after the shooting Fain was
up the hill frpm the store, and going up
toward his home. Mr. Gearln contended
from this that the bullets could not have
been fired by Markley from the rear door
of hlsstore. Deputy District Attorney
McNafy answered this by saying that at
the time the shot was fired Fain was
farther down the hill and below Iarkley,
but that upon being shot he started up
the hill toward home, and had gone some
little distance when first seen.
Mr. Gearln contended that Markley and
Fain were the best of friends, had been
partners for 10 years, and had settled their
affairs satisfactorily; that there had never
been any trouble between them, and that,
therefore, there was no evidence of any
motive which could induce Markley to
commit so grave a crime. To this Mc
Nary' responded that although Markley's
store was but 50 feet from Faln's home,
r.nd Markley knew Fain had been shot
and was dying, and although Markley said
at th'J time that' Fain must have been
shot by a robber, yet he never went near
Fain's house to offer any assistance, such
as an ordinary friend and neighbor would
iffer under such circumstances. He also
called attention to the fact that although
Markley was around his store for two
hours while neighbors were passing back
and forth to Faln's house, Markley did
not evm ask how Fain was getting along,
and did not show any Interest whatever
In Fain's welfare. This, McNary con
tended, showed that Markley was not on
good terms with Fain, and was a circum
stance pointing to his guilt
Sheriff Colbath. had testified that when
he arrested Markley at 9 o'clock In the
morning, Marklev told him to search the
store, and he would not find any shot in
his stock of goods like that which, had
killed Fain. This was several hours be
fore the shot were removed from Faln's
body. Mr. Gearln took the position that
Mr. Colbath was mistaken as to the time,
of day Markley made this statement Mr.
McNary contended" that the statement
proved that Markley knew what kind of
shot had been used, and that he had pro
cured shot different from his own In order
to remove evidence of guilt
The three buckshot which were found
In Faln's body were wrapped In a rag.
This, Gearln asserted, showed that the gun
used was not a shotgun, but some other
weapon Intended for evil uses and such as
would be used by a robber. -McNary an
swered that the fact that the shot were
wrapped In a rag' was evidence that they
wero used in a shotgun, and that they
haa been tied together to keep them from
scattering and to Insure their deadly ef
fect. The fact that both barrels of the
gun were found loaded with bird shot four
hours after the shooting was cited as a
proof that the gun had not been used to,
shoot Fain. The prosecution claimed that
the gun had been reloaded after the shoot
inc. Mr. Gearln made a very eloquent argu
ment based upon the testimony of Mark
' ley's neighbors, regarding his good reputa
tion during the 30 years he had lived at
C.'hampoeg, He asserted that Faln's state
ment upon his death bed was made in re
sponse to a suggestion from some one
else that MarKley had denied the shoot
ing, and that the idea of connecting Mark
ley with the shooting did not originate
with Fain, but that he accepted the sug
gestion while in the pain and agony of
his condition.
The state's case was wholly circumstan
tial, its strongest features being the pres
ence of powder smoko near the door of
Markley's store soon after tho f.hot was
heard, the dying statement of Fain that
he was shot by Markley, the failure ol

FOUNDERS' DAY" OBSERVED.
Senior Class In Charge Address by
W. N..Barrctt, ot Hlllshoro.
PACIFIC UNIVERSITY, Forest Grove,
Or.. Oct 15. (Special.) Today was Found
ers' day at Pacific University. In setting
apart a day in October as Founders' day
pose to connect past and present life, so :
that new students should feel the privl-
lege of belonging to an Institution with a
hi3tory, and that the student body should ,
be stimulated to greater .loyalty to trie.
auxiliary work of Pacific university.
The exercises, in charge of the senior
class, were presided over by Miss Mary
Rnllftv. nresldent of the class, and were
opened by a piano solo, "The Chase," by
Miss Frances Clapp.
The Founders' day address was dellv-
ered by Hon. W. N. Barrett, of Hills-
boro, a graduate from the university in
the class of 1S79. After reminding his
hearera that he was a native son of
Washington County and was acquainted
with the conditions surrounding the lnsti-
tntinn in ltd par v rinvs h nrfoprifn to
sketch briefly ,the early history of the
state and the. founding of Pacific Unlver-
slty. The speaker expressed his gratlfl-
cation that the portraits of so many oi
the men and women who had a part In
that pioneer work are now hung upon
the walls of tho chapel of Marsh Hall."
Referring to these pioneers, he paid an
eloquent tribute to the memory of the
first president of the university, ReY.
Sidney H. Marsh, beginning his work as
such n April, 1854, and continuing until
his death in February. 1870. It required
self-denial for Dr. Marsh to leave the com--
forts of a New England home and como
out to a region at that time sparsely set
tled and far away from tho center of civ
ilization; but he was a man of great en
ergy and of unswerving purpose, and he
answered the call of duty and came. He
found only a small school, with one small
building. He made several trips to the
East to solicit funds for the work, and
when he died, after 25 years of . active
labor, he left a college with thorough
courses of study, good buildings and an
endowment sufficient for the needs of
the time.
The lifework of- President Marsh is
best seen in the lives "and characters of
'the students' who studied under him and
went out frqm - the college to do their
work in the world. The number of gradu
ates In the early years was small, but
some of these have been men of mark
anA nfl,,nnn nt- rr.'lir In ha ctfltn hllf
throughout the United States. As we
look into the faces ot these founders hang
ing upon the svaljs. atiout us. let us re
member the debt which wo owe to them
for their -self-denial and sacrifice.
Another feature of Founders' day is the
present life at the university, and this
part of the programme was carried out
by representatives of .different student or
ganizations, who set forth the Interests of
the student body. Enthusiasm is the
characteristic feature, and class colors,
banners and yells are conspicuous.
The first student to speak in behalf of
his constituency was William B. Shively,
of the freshman class.
Horace E. Thomas, of the class of '05,
and business manager of the Index, spoke
ior tne couege paper.
W. G. Hale, '03, represented the Alpha
.Zeta Society. '
Miss ilelcel, wno represented Tualatin
Academy on the programme, gave a reci
tation, "Mary, Queen of Scots."
W. B. Rasmussen, '0, ' spoke for the
Gamma Sigma Society, 'the- oldest student
society In the state.
V. E. Emmll, '03, emphasized the new
place given to athletics in college work.
Other music on the programme was a
vocal solo, "The Red, Red Rose," by Mr.
Vrooman, and a soprano solo hy Miss
Shannon.
