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."

Wanted a Bargain.
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

Then he fished, through his pockets
and triumphantly placed a nickel and
three coppers before the astonished
clerk. It took ten minutes to cooTince
the youngster that nothing less than
$10.08 could buy a money order for

A Chapel on Bridge.
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

TO GBOW CHRISTMAS TREES.
Xew Plan for Wornout Farms of the
Count ry.
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

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
