New Building Ordered. The president of the board was au thorized to construct at once a new building to be completed by the open Ing of the fall semester. The plans have already been drawn for one that will contain about 15. rooms, and work will begin on It at once. It wlH greatly relieve the overcrowded con dition of the other buildings. Sever al other new buildings will be con structed as soon as possible, but prob ably no work can . be done until spring. The addition of the new Instructors to the teaching force will mean much for the work of the university. The rapid growth In the number of stu dents has greatly crowded many de partments and some, like the depart ment of geology, have been wlthoat a head for some time. The corres pondence school will be much strong. er than last year and the new man In the department of political science will greatly strengthen the course preparatory to law. The work of the library will be greatly expanded. "It will be the policy of the unl verslty to secure the best possible men for these and all other positions," President Campbell said today, "for the real success of any school Is measured by the worth of, Its teach lng force. No college on the coast has a better Instructional force than the University of Oregon and every effort will be made to keep the stand ard at the highest. I have a large number of applications for each po sition to be filled and during my trip east shall select the men who are best qualified for the work." Ah Opium Farm. Not far from Macno, at the month of the Canton river, China, an opium "farm." Standing In a courtyard Is the great wooden building devoted to opium manufactures, and In its vesti bules are heaps of browu balls, not uu llko cocoauuts. Two cookies, seated, cut them open and remove the black, Jamlike substance they contain the compressed poppy. The outer covering Is a thick layer of dried leaves. In side the building the whole place Is full of smoke, arising from a hundred churcoal fires In open earthenware "chattls," placed In a row aroirad the walls. Over each Are rests a shallow brass pan lu which bubbles a mixture of poppy and water. This mixture Is strained through paper and passes on to 1)0 more carefully boiled In the next room, where the process is exactly similar. From there It goes to.another room, where tho sirup is reduced to the consistency of treacle over slow fires. In another building the opium Is pack ed lu tiny cans and placed In cases aud sealed with tho government seal. A Banker's Gtnerosity. One day Humboldt was dining with Mendelssohn, the banker, and, an un usual thing for him, was very silent. Ills host, remarking It, observed to Humboldt that be was sure he must be 111. "No," said Humboldt, "but I am In great trouble. Only ten minutes be fore leavlug my apartment to come here I received from my landlord a note Informing me that be had sold the bouse In which I reside and that I must move. The very thought drives me to despair. I really cannot bear to move again." Mendelssohn gradually led Humboldt Into conversation, during which he found time to write a note and receive an answer to It He then took Hum boldt aside and said: "By this note I learn tha( I am now the owner of the bouse In which you reside. The condi tion, however, upon which I have be come It possessor Is that you continue to occupy your apartment In It as long as you live."

One day a small Cincinnati boy came to a halt before a sign over a desk in the office of the express company. It gave the rate for money orders, and after studying It for a few minutes he walked up to the cashier and said bold ly: "I want a money order." "How large a one, my boyT the clerk Inquired benlgnantly. "Well, let's see," pondered the little fellow. "The rate for a ten dollar or der is 8 cents, Isn't itn "Yes; thafs right" "Well, I want a drum and pair of roller skates and a new straw hat and some candy. Ten dollars will enough." Then he fished, through his pockets and triumphantly placed a nickel and three coppers before the astonished clerk.

At St Ives, the little old Hunting donshlre town in which Oliver Crom well lived for several years, there Is a bridge spanning the lazily flowing Ouse, and on this bridge is a quaint building which at one time did duty as a chapel. The structure has been in existence for something like 600 years and was, according to local historians, originally employed as a beacon light house. After that It was turned for a time Into a hostel and eventually be came an ordinary dwelling bouse Some of the rooms in this curious building are below the level of the water In the river.

Washington, July SOj The United States forestry service haa a plan for the utilization of the worn-out farms of the country a scheme to make them a paying proposition. The Idea Is simply to plant trees. An Ohio farmer suggested the Scheme. He owns a homestead where farming has been a losing proposi tion. He has therefore decided to plant the entire tract with trees. Norway sprdce has been selected as the tree, and as soon as they are large enough they will be sold for Christ mas trees and, by the way, Christ mas trees bring first-class prices. One of the fundamental principles of forest economics, say the experts, is that soil which Is not good enough to make the growing of cereal crops profitable, should be devoted to the growing of wood crops. This does not mean that trees grow better on poor soil than on fertile soil. .But, In proportion to the money invested better returns are secured from trees planted on the less valuable land. The Ohio farmer mentioned above expects to plant chestnut In the blank paces left after removal of the first crop or Christmas trees. About the time when tho last spruce is cut, It l.i predicted that the chestnut will be ready for the axe. In addition, ca talpa, black locust, elm, boxelder, nd sycamore will be planted. All of the trees mentioned are excellent for the. purpose; growing well on less fertile land, and furnishing a com paratively quick return on the money Invested. XCLE SAM TO SHOW AT TOKIO Warfdngion Officials Preparing Ex hibits for Japanese) Exposition in 1912. Washington, July 80. Although the Japanese exposition at Toklo will not open Its gates until 1912. Uncle Sam Is already making preparations looking to an extensive showing at Nippon's great international fair. De- pite the rumors of war between the two countries, occasionally revived by alarmists, the Washington officials do not share such views and are consid ering plans for the American exhibit t Tokio, the biggest of any foreign nation. The Toklo exposition commis sion has at its disposal a preliminary fund of $1,500,000, appropriated by the last congress, and will not be hampered by lack of funds. The members of the commission are Francis B. Loomls. former as sistant secretary of state; Francis D, Millet, of Xew York, who was director of decorations at the Chicago World's Fair, and Frederick J. V. Skiff, of Chicago, director of the Field Colum bia Museum, who was deputy director general of the Chicago World's Fair. William A. Xewcome, of California, private secretary to Robert Bacon, assistant secretary of state, has been appointed chief clerk to the commis sion, and has charge of the Washing ton offices. Mr. Loomls and Mr. Millet will visit Toklo this summer to confer with officials of the expo sition in regard to the site and style of architecture of the American build Ing. They will also gather Informa tlon of interest to American manu facturers who intend to participate In the American exhibit. Mr. Loomls and Mr. Millet will sail from San Francisco a month hence and will spend about a month In To klo, returning to Washington about December 1. They will make an In- vestlgatfon of the needs of the Ori ental trade, with a vjew of Inducing American manufacturers activlly to invade the eastern markets. Next winter work of arousing In terest among American manufactur ers will be begun. J. Callan O'Laugh lin, secretary of the commission, will make a tour of all the state capitals to confer with governors and make preliminary arrangements for state exhibits. Scalded In Hot Springs. Two small children, a boy and a girl, belonging to J. M. Currey, were very badly scalded Tuesday evening by falling Into the creek running from the hot springs at the Hot Springs bath house In the south part of town, says the Lake County Examiner. The water Is chaldlng hot as it escapes from the ground. Jt seems the children were playing along the edge of the brook and the boy fell so that hands and arms were Immersed.. He screamed with pain and so alarmed his little sister that In the attempt at getting him out she also slipped into the water to her armpits, scalding her lower limbs and body so badly that It Is feared she will die. She is in a very critical con dition. The little boy may recover. The children are under the care of Dr. Smith. r 1 You Pay For Your Competi tors' Advertising When It Is Bettor Than Your Own!
