Resides the above be has 100 acres iu barley and oats and about 60 acres In cheat. All the grain Is lojklr.g remarkably fine, some of the wheat standing six feet high. He is summer following 100 acres In fine shape. He also has a force of men grubbing out a 100-acre field In the bottom.

The iweutleth annual commence ment cxercWes of the University of Oregon opened under most aunplcluus clrcuutstauces with the Hervices of baccalaureate Sunday, conducted at Villard Hull yesterday. The beautiful In nature, petted plants and tlowern in abundance were In evldeuce throughout the auditorium and ihtlr plt'ii-ltg arrangement dis played the an Istic temperamameut ol thoxe l whom was Intruded this work. On the platform, tenUteM the speaker of the day, Rev Arthur W Ackerman, of the First Congregutional church of Portlaud, werettented members of the board of regents, and faculty, resident pastors aud dlstiugulHlied citizens. The choral leaders of (he tuuslo con suited of Mrs II C Brooks, Mis E H McAliHtei', (opriiioH, Misses Benelta Djrrls and Louise Yoran, altos; E D Rettler and Arthur Frazer, tenors; I M Oleu and Juo Peters, bassos. A speci al number rendered by this double quartet was "Lord Have Mercy" troiu Rossini's Stabet Mater. The Invocation was delivered by Rev POBonebrake, of the United Breth ren church, the scripture reading byRsv Robert M Leslie, of the First Baptist church, and a prayer by Rev Morton L Rose, of the First Christian church. After a quintet from Beethoven, "Oh Triumph All YeMotltals," by Mrs Brooks, Mrs McAllster, Miss Dorrls, Messrs Resler snd Glen, Rev Acker man was presented. The distinguished speaker took for his text a question and answer, from which he drew the conclusions of life. Ezekiel 37:3 "And he said unto me, Son of mail, cau these bones live? Aud I answered, O Lord God, Thou kuowest." Paul's first letter to tbe Corinthians, 10:13. "Watch ye, stand (ant In the faith , quit you like men, be strong." Io this question and answer, asserted the speaker, is ti be found the problem of society; uotouly that but the prob lem of morality and religion, and the problem of American life, liberty aud personal happiness. It embodies the distinction ot Martin Luther's life, and the achievements of the Puritan fathers. It applies to every phase of life mental, moral, physical, spirit ual. Eeklal found cause for utteraooe of these word In the disorganized, dead ened condition of the people of Israel in Babylonia, living lu their own height, aud I rust lux nothing to a higher being. Today we find iu the world about us the same conditions life without form and purpose, in which passion aud purity contest iu a mad scrabble for control of the mental and phyeical be ing. The speaker made a plea for tbe un ion of all organizations having for their object the upbuilding of the king dom of Christ and the following of bis teachings. "Antagonistic religious, life," he said, "aids the spirit of dark ness. We should remember the teach ings of Christ aud his expressed hope 'that;they maybe one, so that they know I come from thee,' " Disorgan ized labor cannot accomplish as much as that with a system. The cardinal sin ot human nature, the speaker asserted, is laziness. Conquer thlsone and all the rest can be con- queied. This trait Is one of tbe most noted of modern college life the de sire to accomplish much with little personal exertion. The text served the speaker to make a comparison ot different phases of life. Bones, life without object or purpose. Bones in order, a skeleton. A better type, but poor at best. Such would luclude the philosophers of self Indul gence and the degenerates, do loijg as a man has man's faculties he shauld have man's responsibilities. Tbe third comparison would be a corpse. The bones covered, and even a thing of beauty, but in all "art for art'a sake, to the dogs with humanity." The speaker, by this series of comparisons, impressed on his listeners that a life working from Its own power Is unable to accomplish as much as one having a higher power for Its guidance; and made his comparison of equal force on church, school, nation and Individual. Can these bones livt? Chriallau manliness baa much to do with humau nature, which has a natural bin for evil. Battles muet Le fought and mountains climbed. Their accom plishment make heroes whose deeds are stepping stones for the advance ment of the human race. Tbe con quest of self canuot be gained alone. Ally yourself with God through Jesus Christ, said the speaker, and when you have acquired knowledge suffici ent to lead men, do not go to your tent, but In the field, do not loaf but fight. The world loves a warrior, and bis characteristic manliness. To thegra luatiiiR eln-H Rev Acker man made a short plea for their sue. cesiluthe avocations to bo pursued. He said lu part: "Allow tun to rail to your attention the overhanging curs! too predominant In college life, which j l that if you can only p't IiIkIi or . gaiu wealth you will be happy, (let ( rid of that desire to secure the benetlts aud happiness of life without paying a fair price In exchange for It. Dowu! deep in your heart there must be a de-, sire at some time (o accept the grace of God, aud by Its power rise to greater ends. Don't alllle it, but let It be the Incentive of your lif." After a hymn, "Pleasant are the Converts Above." the benediction was pronouueed by Rev j T Abbott. Tbe Maccabee Picnic at (losheu. There was a large attendance at the anniversary picnic of the li U T M, at Goshen Saturday. The forenoon was taken up with baud music, songs, ad dresses, recitations, etc. The address of Leon Edmondson, which, by the way, was made without previous prep, aration, was an excellent one aud wor-. thy of note. After dinner the follow ing program was rendered: All the Maccabees present were call ed up and a committee of three ladles was selected to award a straw hat as a prize to the ugliest one. B F Keeney ofJGoshen got the hat and the Judgment of the ladies was not criticised. Next came a potato race between boys, which proved very excitiug and was won by Master Lee Matlock, tor which be received a sweater. The baby show was announced aud all mothers with babes under oue year were invited to compete for the arizes gold pin each for the beat looking boy baby and girl baby. Three boys and three girls were entered. Mrs Alf Stewart's babe won of the former, while one of Mrs T E Morse's twins of Creswell, won tbe latter. In a rope Jumping contest for little girls, Mary Day ot Eugene, won the pilze, consisting of some ribbon, Jump ing 113 times. A sack race was now called and a number of entries made. The first ruu resulted In a tie between Wlllard Keeney and Lee Matlock, but on the second run the latter won the prize, a j good pocket knife. The crowd now weul to the ball ground and race course, where the tournament riding took place. In the ladles contest Miss Anna Lavert won tbe prize of 10 yards of dress goods, and J B Keeney won In the moil's con test, the prize being a sweater. Following this came a match horse race for a small purse, between Jim Stewart's and Walter Wilmot's horses, which was won by the latter. Several other horse races were run. The base ball game between the Go shen and Jasper teams was not oue of any great excitement, but one long to be remembered by tbe Gosben boys, for according to the memory of the writer, It Is tbe first ever won by them the score standing 17 to 10 In Gosh en's favor. The dance In the evening, which was well attended was declared a suc cess; aud thus ends a picnic long to be renumbered by those who were In at tendance. The Creswell brass baud furnished music for the occasion. A M Aid n EE. Pleasant Hill Doings. June 14, 1803. Some rain after tbe nice sunshine. The grangers' pionio on last Satur day was a success. Tbe program was very Interesting and the crowd was laree enough to have a good time. Everything was arranged comfortable, and plenty of refreshments were on tbe ground. One of the most Interest ing features of the picnlo was the base ball game played between Pleasant Hill boys and Fern Ridge boys. They played nine innings. The Pleasant Hill boys made thirty tallies while tbe Fern Ridge boys made twenty nine. Children's day was observed last Sunday at 2 o'clock in the afternoon In the grove.
