OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
Corvallls. Jan. J. (Special.) That the
Winter short courses at this institution
will be more largely attended than ever
before is the indication at the opening
of the first day of the short course work.
Though yesterday waa a holiday and It
was generally understood that there
would be no registration of students,
over SO men and women sought the of
fices of the various deans and completed
their registration. This la almost dou
ble the first day's registration of last
year and Indicates a great increase In
attendance for the present season.
It is still too early to get any authentic
figures on tha registration but it is
likely that the greater number of stu
dents will register In the school of agri
culture. Of the agricultural courses,
horticulture seems to be the most popu
lar. These courses have attracted great
numbers of students from the fruit
growing districts of the state. Many men
and women, who are graduates of East

In the fruitgrowing regions of this state,
have come to Corvallls to study the
methods of fruit culture. The courses
In agronomy, animal husbandry and
poultry husbandry are also well attended.
The registration In the courses In do
mestic science and art. engineering and
commerce has not progressed far enough
to Indicate what the ultimate registration
In this work will be.
A large number of special lecturers
have been secured who will commence
offering work at once. The first spe-

Law for Which Petitions Are Being
Circulated Xames 3 Per Cent on
Gross Revenue.
- If the proposed public service coramls-
slon law is adopted by the people at tne
municipal election next June, all ex
penses attendant upon the commission
will fall upon the companies supplying
gas and electricity for light and power
In the city, according to measures lor
which petitions are being circulated.
Two petitions are. being placed before
the voters, one for the public service
commission and one for a law taxing the
public service corporations In Portland
at the rate of 3 per cent of their gross
annual earnings. It 1? believed that a
revenue would be created by the proposed
tax law of about $;00,000 annually.
In his address last nrjrht before the
Waverly-Richmond Improvement Asso
ciation. Bi-n Rics-land outlined the features
of the public service law. particularly the
two measures taxing the corporations 3
per cent of their gross Income. He said
that the public service commission
would cost the city between J20.000 and
Jii.noo a year, and it was designed to
meet tlio expense In this way and also
to derive an additional Income from the
corporations.
"These corporations," sairL tho speak
er, "pay practically nothing and they
should be required to contribute some
thing toward the expenses of the city.
We consulted the practice of many cities
of the United States and found that they
tax the corporations a per cent of their
gross incomes, and hence we have start
ed these two measures along with the
public service measure."

receipts, land registry returns and build
ing statistic The customs receipts were
close to J8,OO0,O0O, and building activity
showed an increase of over 50 per cent
over that of 1909, due, eay the city offi

Mis 100 to the Goodness of Things
S3
Do all of your frying, baking and cooking -with
Kaola instead of using lard or butter or any other
cooking oil or fat. Everything will not only taste
ever so much better it will be perfectly digestible.
Take doughnuts, for example. Kaola gets much
hotter than lard before it will smoke. You drop the
dough in a kettle of hot Kaola, the outside immedi
ately becomes crusted. The fat cannot sink into the
inside of the doughnut, but the inside becomes thor
oughly baked. The result is a crisp, delicious, never
to be equaled, doughnut. And it will be digestible.
That is the main feature where, the little tots are
concerned grown-ups, too.
