KTOITT PAGES. Oregon's particular pride, educa tionally, Is her agrleultal college. This la natural In view of the fact that over 60 per cent of the people of Ore gon depend directly upon the product of the noil. It la natural, too. be cause of the' achlevefcnU and prow em of the college Itself. Founded at Corvallis In 1867 as a private Institu tion the college had at the mart a merely local influence. Toduy, either . through Its 2 BOO students or through the agencies of Its extension divis ion, it reaches every community In Oregon, and through its scientific agencies every civilized center in the agricultural world. Starting wilh one building and 35 acres of land, it now utilizes over 30 buildings and 340 acres of land, all occupied and Improv. ed to the limit of their capacity. Its faculty alone now numbers more than the entire college community of the first decade, and Includes experts of International as well an national repu tation. Its departments are distin guished both for their practical ser vice to urgrlculture anj for their cre ative contributions to science. Some of Its departments, Indeed that of horticulture, for example are unex celled, either In equipment or organi sation, by any in the country. Tlio College 1XH14 IloucerlitK tiervlee. While the growth of the college has been phenomenal (scarcely paralleled j in the post five years by that of any of the higher educational institutions of the country). Its Industry and pro. ducttvlty have been even more re markable. It has been a pioneer In Investigating many of the great agri cultural problems, the solution of which has added millions to the an nual wealth of the country. The col lege was one of the first to investigate wun u.f. 1 ., ....(nri.lllaru naati fruit spot, anlhracnose, the vojllng i moth, and similar fruit and crop pests, '; and to recommend for these evils . methods of control that are universal-1 ly employed today. It was among tho t first to Investigate experimentally! methods of dry farming for arid lands and to demonstrate successful meth ods of culture. Its Influence and teaching, moreove r, have been ron- i stant In upholding the live stoik in-; iliictry und scientific dairying ns had- j ing occupations In Oregon.

Its forestry services, while comparatively new, have already won the confidence and loyal co-operatlnn of the logging; and lumber Interests of the Pacific Northwest, as well as the hearty en dorsement of the people. Controlled by tho constructive anil far-sighted policies of the school of forestry and the state board of forestry, the tim ber resources of Oregon will be an immense and inexhaustible source of wealth, go will the mineral and geo logical resources of the state under the wise supervision of the school of mines and the state bureau of mines, both of which are centered In the Oregon Agricultural College. ltd Rncrglzinff Inthistiial Work.

The show yesterday from the first moment to the last was vastly su perior to the first-day exhibition. It started with a wild dash and event followed event then with such rapid ity that never an Instant was given for breath catching until the grand march of cowboys, cowgirls and In dians and then the spectators Just sat Lack and feasted their eyes upon a sight that, for the lovers of the pic turesque;, has no equal.- And when the last of the gay troop of riders had left the arena the stage . coaches dashed upon the track and the pro gram of excitement was on again to finish at last In a wild climax when forty range horses were brought In front of the grandstand and forty rid ers with forty helpers sought to hal ter, snddc nnd ride them. It brought the huge audience to Its feet and left ! It vibrating with excitement when the second day's program was over. Kl Steer In Pant lime. Everything was better yeserday, but the steer-roping and bulldogglng most of all. The long horned brutes, while thwarting the attempts of several of the cowboys to conquer them, enjoyed not near the triumph that they did the first day and yesterday morning. It took Ed McCarty just 27 seconds to encircle the horns of one steer, Jerk him from his feet and leave him hog tied and helpless. It was a feat performed almost In record time and only the happening of the omprob Able can keep McCarty from wearing the crown of champion steer roper of 1913. In the bulldogglng, too, one steer lost out In a hand to hand en counter with man. So strong of neck have the steers grown during the past year that the cowboys have found It next to Impossible to throw them liaro handed. Lou Minor, broncho busting champion of 1912, however, w.s the first to show the requisite strength and endurance.

Thus In more ways than can be en umerated here, the college has won distinction for Itself, and excited the admiration of all loyal Oregoniuns. Extension Nervlf. In addition to the activities ' that throng the campus and the college plant during the student year, and that continue the year-round In the col lege laboratories and on the dem onstration plats. there Is still another field of effort which the college Is oc cupying in a stimulating way. This Is the field of extension. Through the a battle lasting over two minutes, he flopped the brute from its feet and held it to the ground with nothing but his teeth. Johnnie Dobbins brought his animal to the earth as he swooped down upon him and never permitted him to rise. He however, was dis qualified for the tripping of the ani mal is barred by the rules. Jim Mas- sey fought his steer for ten full min utes and was finally hung upon the atena fence in the steers last efforts to free himself. lsmjc Tom Winn New LureR In the bucking contests of the after noon, the horses showed up better than the riders. While many of the outlaws were ridden, only a few were ridden In the most approved cowboy style. In the main the buckarooes showed a knowledge of the horses they drew and a decided aversion toward taking any unnecessary chanc er. Long Tom added another throw to his long list by ridding himself of Ed McQllvray in three hard Jumps. Hoot Gibson, champion all-around cowboy of 1912, essayed to ride the great little bucker Mrs. Wlggs, but he did a skyrocket stunt Into the air and down to earth. Bearcat put up a great fight to un seat Sam Brownell but all of his best twists went for naught, Brownell making a splendid showing. Speed ball made his first appearance of the year with L. E. Collins .up and after a few spectacular plunges, It was U. E. Collins down. Bob Cavin managed to keep his seat on the equine Cyclone while Henry Webb, Cheyenne cham pion, was the master of Crooked River from the first to the last Jump. Skyrocket True to Name. Guy Church made an excursion In to the air on Skyrocket but fell to earth with a dull thud. Roy Hunter, who made such a heroic battle with a steer Thursday, mounted Cyrus No ble and gave a good exhibition of the hurkaroo art.

Hally Plersol drew Sledgehammer and that big animal, the meanest of the whole lot, absolutely refused to buck after fighting three men and a snub horse for ten minutes during the saddling operation. In justice to Pier sol he was given another horse, Casey Jones whom Joe Polley had refused to mount. On the first Jump, Plersol reached for the horn but even then he was not quick enough for the sec ond upheaval saw him pitched Into space. , Rett Cross Well Named. Red Cross disposed of Sam Orison j in Just a couple of Jumps and the number of falls during the contest were totaled at seven. The crowd likes to see a cowboy tumble and yells of approval met every fall. The crowd also does not like to see a cow girl thrown and here again, it was so satlsfleld .that It yelled Itself hoarse, for Nettle Hawn, Blanche McGaughey and Haxel Walker all rodo their mounts to the last Jump. Mrs. Hawn, wife of Happy Jack, drew Rambling Jlmmle and sent the spectators Into voice by her splendid ride. But when Blanche McGaughey rode straight up on the vicious little Snake and fin ished with both hands In the air. the yelling swelled outward with Increas ing volume. It had Just died down when pretty little darkeyed Haxel Walker mounted Brown Eyes and fanned her clear across the arena and then It rose again Into a roar. Mtc Boll SUII Vnrktden.

Bertha Blancett again had things her own way in the cowgirls' relay race. Her superior strength and abil. tty to make changes from one horse to another as well as the fast Sherry string which she Is riding, enabled her to win the event again handily and. unless some accident occurs to her to day she will win the event for the third consecutive year. Her total time U 9.28 1-2 while that of Vera McGln nls on the Adams string Is 11. St 3-4; OUie Osborn on the Smith string Is still behind that time. Jason Stanley was another former champion who made a gallant effort to "eome back" yesterday. Winner of the pony express in 1911 and 1912, he finished last Thursday but yester day took tho lead at the first and kept It until tho last lap when he gave way to Braden Gerklng, winner of the first day race.

The Indian wardance In the middle of the arena, drew a great many admiring glances and praises and was one of the best yet presented at a Round-up. The etageeoarh race was again at tended by an accident and this time the Spain team was the sufferer.

The College Environment. ' A word now about the surroundings ! of the colleee and the lift that makes first event on the program, was won by Darrel Cannon, the twelve year ood buckaroo who later rode a buck ing horse much to the liking of the spectators. Hazel Walker again won In the cowgirls' cowpony half mile dash with lila smith second and Nell McCool third. Tlllle Baldwin duplicated her Thursday victory over Rose Wenger Gibson in the cowgirls' Roman race while Ben Corbett took first money in the similar event for the cowboys, winning from Otto Kline and Sid Seale. Toc-of-War Is Real Thing. Dell Blahcett's team outpulled the Uunyan team In the tug-of-war on horseback. Both teams started with four horses but the saddle was Jerked ,fmm one on each side and the event J ended with three on either side. The I pull lasted for several minutes and j Plancett gained but about a foot from ; his opponents. Sammy Garrett won the quick change race but he was disqualified for using a rubber cinch and Roy Kelly was awarded first honors with Jim Uoach second. Wllil Horse Raw ltaist of All The last event of the day. the wild horse nice was won by Jack Fretx. He -ns able to force his unruly mount around the track Just a length In front of W. 11. Shelley. Claud Terney took tkird money. This race was one of the I best of its kind In the history of the ttound-up and kept the crowd On Its toes throughout. Several of the rid ers sustained minor Injuries and the marvel of all was that any could es cape from that melee of hoofs. The trick rldlrg by the Baldwins. Babe Lee. and Otta Kline was again a popular number and the drunken ride of Walter Seal was one that thrilled the nerves of everyone there and he was given an ovation when he finally sank In a crumpled heap up on the neck of his steed. Altogether, the second day of the 113 Round-up was a brilliant success and never a man. woman or child has hnd aught hut words of praise for the rlendld exhibition.

But the city of Corvallis Itself de serves a word of comment.

The biggest, most enveloping, and most pervasive thing about Corvallia U the college life. This Is not a thing of class rooms and laboratories, chief ly, but a thing that distinguishes the abounding activities of youths and maids at O. A. C. It is a thing that keeps them forever hopeful and for ever young. It is a thing of classes, of clubs, of athletics, of contests. ! games, music, and dramatics: of skill. and grace, and accomplishments. It has to do with big assemblies of en thusiastic "rooters," stirred by spell binders and brass bands; with gro tesque processions of exuberant "boosters" as poreeous ns Aladdin's dream; with delightful rehearsals; of joint debates: with keen rivalries of aspiring orators, and with all those meetings. strueles. hopes, and dreams that actuate the student body as a whole and the student societies se verally.
