' mads that ths enrollment this year at
, the Oregon Agricultural College will
', reach 1,00. Cauthorn hall, the boys'
' dormitory, which accommodates from 76
" to 10 students, ls'all engaged; several
weeks ago. young men who had scoured
ths town In search of rooms reported
that.they could find nothing suitable
even then, and every day ths demand
- for quarters Increases.
Ths administration building snd Cau
, thorn hall have been repainted on the
outside sines school closed.
On the Inside of the Administration
. building numerous changes have been
made. One of these Is the change of lo-
ration of ths rollers postofTlce from
ths ftorary o ins tiivras office. The
president's office has been enlarged and
elegantly furnished tn solid oak of spien
. did design and workmanship. Repaint
ing In various rooms has been in prog
ress snd the students will notice many
: Improvements In buildings and grounds.
- Harrying' Work on Waldo XaU.
Ths girls' new dormitory, Waldo hall,
. Is being hurried to completion and from
' St to 45 rooms will be ready for occu
pancy at ths opening. October 1. The
contract for the furniture for these
rooms has been let to O. J. Black ledge
of thla city, who Is to hsve the goods
on the ground by September 24. This
hall is destined to be the finest building
of the sort In this section snd Is a de
cided credit to the state.
Efforts are being put forth to Inclose
ine new jr. xa. a. ouiicung at me coi
, lege before ths winter rains set In.
Pledges are being collected and the work
will be carried Just as far as funds for
material will take it. The structure Is
" greatly needed but lack of money pre
vents Its completion. Many a poor stu
dent, working his way through college,
has pledged liberally of his hard-earned
cash towards this project,- this fact dem
onstrating plainly how keenly the young
men of the school who are Inclined to
wards such work feel the need of ths
Y. M. C. A. building.
Gathering of ths Students.
C. T. Hurdwhn has resigned from
the pulpit of the local United Evangel
ical church to become T. M. C A. sec
retary at the O. A. C. la looking after
ths matter of furthering the work on
ths half-finished "Y" building and will
exert every Influence possible to have It
at least Inclosed this fall.
Already the town is taking on sn air
- of accelerated activity as pupils of the
high schools, which open Monday, and
. students of O. A. C. are arriving dally,
and families are comtng from all quar
ters to locate for the winter In order to
take advantage of the exceptional edu
cational opportunities found In Cor
vail is. It promises to be Indeed the
banner year in ths tflstory of Oregon
Agricultural College.

Adani 3Iurray, Successful
journal Contestant, Be
gins Term at Academy.
Adam Murray, of Dayvllle, who, was
awarded The Journal scholarship with
board and room at Hill Miltary acade-
myarriyedyesterday:tQ enter, the
school, . As The Journal student at Hill
Military academy young Murray has
- been assigned to excellent quarters and
will receive" the first-class instruction
which this school gives.
Murray's home la on the stage line, 38
' miles west from Canyon City, the coun-
ty seat of Grant county. Dayvllle Is the
center : of a stock country and the
ranches are large. Murray had, to ride
over a large territory to gather the
fifty thousand votes which won him the
scholarship In the Hill Military acade
my. However, he considers that the two
months of time and the pounds of horse
flesh which he Invested In his campaign
. for subscriptions is wall paid for in the
scholarship at Hill Military academy
which ho won and which is worth 1560.
1 Murray has finished the common
branches and has gone as far as the!
common schools of Grant county can I
, carrv him. He comes to the Hill Mill-'
tary academy with excellent recommen
dations from his teachers and finds
there students from his own part of the
1 state with whom he Is personally ac-
quainted.
In addition to his academic studies.
Murray will take piano and will prac
tice on a cornet. He has been a member
, of the brass band at Dayvllle and plays
the cornet quite skillfully.
Adam Murray was accompanied by his
mother, Mrs. Jennie Murray, who care
fully investigated the Hill Military
academy and Is pleased with her son's
prospects there. Mrs. Murray has given
her boy a thorough training In house
work as he takes the part of the oldest
sister In a family of three boys. Young
Murray has helped his father on the ,
farm and is accomplished in such rua-
ged sports as riding the broncho and!
throwing the -lasso. I
The young man is modest In his man
ner of address and will be benefited by i
the experience in the military school.
He will probably be taken Into the
: bugle corps on account of his experi
ence wlr the cornet.
