Portland and Oregon business men
who visited tne campus of tha Ores;oa
'.Agricultural College with the "back to
tha aoll excursion Friday, returned to
their homes frankly admitting; they
, were astonished at the revelation given
them of its possibilities for becoming
one of the efficient factors In the soil
development of Oregon, and each on
was enthusiastic to help In the cam
paign that will be carried on by the
Portland Commercial Club and other
business organisations of the state to
make It possible for the state college
to extend Its demonstration work Into
every community In the state.
"The keynote of the whole trip has
been this idea: extension cf demonstra
tion stork which will brine; the advan
tages of our great land school clo-
to the soil of our state, which mut
be developed and settled if Oregon Is
to continue to grow." said C. C. Chap
nan, manager of the excursion.

"Xot only do we want to see a steady
growth In the actual work done upon
the campus, but we also want to see
the demonstration farm work and the
experiment station work, supported by
sufficient state appropriations, extend
ed throughout the state, until we have.
Indeed, realised the motive back St the
excursion's slogan and have firmly es
tablished our 'Land School on the
Soil." "
A definite step In the campaign to
secure' the appropriation necessary to
develop this phase of the Agricultural
College work as the business men of
the state hope to see It developed, was
made In the passage of a resolution at
the banquet given the excursionists at
Waldo Hall. Friday night, urging the
passage of the lever extension bill, now
pending In the National Congress.
This bill provides for an annual ap
propriation from the I'nited States Gov
ernment of 110,000. to be Increased by
the amount of $2000 a year for the
btate of Oregon for a period of 10
years, on condition that the state make
an equal appropriation to the Agricul
tural College. This amount Is to be
used for the support of college exten
sion work In agriculture and home
economics, and to convey practical In
formation direct to the farm and home
by field demonstration, publication and
other means.

The resolution was passed unani
mously, and telegrams will be sent to
the Oregon Representatives In Congress
urging them to work for the passage
of the bliL If It becomes a law. busi
ness men of the state then will turn
their efTorts towsrd a campaign to-persuade
the State Legislature to raise the
appropriation from the state funds,
upon which the Federal appropriation
Is contingent. IL It. Miller, cx-preal-dent
of the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege. Introduced the resolution.
The passage of this resolution came
as an expression from the members of
the business men's excursion of their
approval of the work that they had
aeen going on In the blir Institution
throughout the entire day. while they
passed from building to building and
watched the different classes at their
work In laboratory or shop, and It was
a token of their Intention to lend their
active efforts to hsve that work ex
tended In Its scope and efficiency.
Carl R. Gray, president of the North
Bank Railroad, summing up his Im
pression of the work of the college at
the assembly, after the morning trip
through laboratories and class rooms,
expressed a sentiment that was In
dorsed by all other speakers from the
excursion party when he said: "I have
aald to the business men, and I say to
you, with firm conviction, that of all
the business assets which this state
affords, thla Institution la by far the
greatest,
C'ellese HUsly Praised.
"After all the wealth on top of the
oil. after all the forests hsve been
denuded. aer the water power has
been harnessed to the use of man. after
the minerals have been exhausted, agri
culture coming Into Its own. will be the
crowning gkry and success of this
state and will Insure Its place In the
Nation. This Institution leads directly
to that"
The arrangements for the reception
of the excursion party at the Agricul
tural College were most thorough, and
' gave a perfect opportunity for the vis
itors to do Just what they had planned
see and Judge for themselves the
quality of work that Is being
carried on In dally .class work on
the campus. Members of the Corvallls
Commercial Club met the party at the
train, entertained them at breakfast
and carried them In automobiles to the
college, after which they were In the
rare of the students and faculty. The
programme for the day was laid out
In careful schedule which, without
hurrying the visitors, permitted them
to make a thorough inspection of every
department of the Institution.
Classes were In session In all depart-
ments and the students continued their
Vvork without interruption ss the vls
ltVrs passed through. To each party
of Vn was assigned a student guide
to c-jnduct them personally through the
bulldfR" and grounds and to answer
question that they might have to ask.

the crowd of more than 150 persons
was able to cover the entire Journey

of (he appreciation of the . Portland
excursionists for the entertainment
given them bv the young women of the
Agricultural College.
The hospitality that was extended to
the business men's excursion In Cor
vallls, was fully equaled in enthusiasm.
If not In magnitude, by the citizens of
McMtnnville, Sheridan- and Dallas, who
were visited on the preceding day.
After the excursionist had purchased
his ticket, he might as well have left
his pocketbook at home, so far aa an
opportunity to use It was concerned,
for the hosts In each city left nothing
undone In preparation for the comfort
and entertainment of their guests.
The McMlnnvtlle Commercial Club en
tertained them with a luncheon. - at
which Yamhill County products figured
on an elaborate bill of fare. Sheridan
business men and farmers met the
train with carriages In which all who so
desired drove to the hills above the town
and looked over the great orchard
tracts that have recently been set out
In that locality. A special train car
ried the other members of the party to

CARLOAD TO BE DEPORTED
Oregon Institutions Being Cleaned
by Federal Ofriclal. .
SALEM. Or.. April 17. (Special.)
After an Investigation by United States
Immigration Inspector Weiss, It Is
probable that there will be a "large
number of deportations from the state
Institutions.
The ' State Board some time ago
started a campaign to clean the state
institutions of an undesirable class of
foreign Inmates that is those with
criminal Instincts and of unsound mind
before landing In this country.
Mr. Weiss has spent a week at the
several Institutions and has been in
consultation with the several super
intendents and the members of the
State Board.' As a result of his inves
tigation it Is likely that at least a car
load of these people will bo deported,
and at the Government's expense.
