Twelve Company Gives $2500 for OSC Scholarships A gift of $2500 In cash to provide 35 (100 scholarships for entering freshmen in agriculture has Just been granted to Oregon State col lege by Sears-Roebuck and com pany, according to William A. Schoenfeld, dean and director of agriculture. The scholarships will be handled on much the same basis as others sponsored by this same company In more than 30 states. The Idea was started In the southern states by General B. E. Wood, former presi dent and now chairman of the board, as a means of helping land grant colleges develop agricultural leadership among boys otherwise unable to attend college. The recipients of the scholarships are to be named at large through the state by an O. S. C. committee which will set up its own basis of selection. The experience In other states has been that most of tha boys chosen are those who have ex celled In 4-H club and Future Farmer activities, although mem bership In either of these organiza tions is not In any wise a require ment, It was pointed out. The $100 cash grant In this state will practically cover the year's fees at Oregon State. It amounts to considerably more than a state board scholarship. Prunes May Take Place of Liver Oregon's surplus prunes may find a new market because of the high price of liver, the department of agriculture said today. Canners of dog food have found liver is getting too high, so they think they might use prunes In the food instead. H '' i sL '15?

Moosey, Tacoma physician, said Tuesday. Davies, a Tacoma policeman, Is suffering streptlcocclc and pneu mococclc meningitis resulting from the unusual stabbing. Dr. Moosey said. "Yesterday I didn't give Davies one chance in a million of pulling through," the young doctor said. "Today I think the chances are 100 to one that he'll recover." He credits the new drug, intraven ous salt of sulfapvrldlne, with the unbelievable change in Davies con dition. "The drug is new and we don't know a great deal about it," Dr. Moosey said. "I don't think it has ever been used on the Pacific coast before. We are Injecting it Into Davies bloodstream every four hours."

Dr. Moosey said the blade passed through Davies' cheek just below the right eyeball and the bayonet tip pierced the first layer of the guards man's brain, starting an Infection The wound was not considered serious until last Saturday when it became highly Inflamed and Davies' temperature shot up.

Salem, Oregon Commission Urged to Act On Detroit Dam With the purpose of preventing a threatened delay in construction of the road between Niagara and De troit tha board of directors of the Salem Chamber of Commerce yes terday afternoon, at a specially called meeting, ordered a letter sent to the state fish commission, ask ing it Immediately to approve or disapprove construction of the North San t lam flood control dam below Detroit. The board was informed that the United States army engineers and the federal forest service were re fusing to act in accordance with a cooperative agreement for relocation of the North Santiam highway un til the llsh commission has given Its consent to construction of the dam. Construction of the road was scheduled to start this spring un der the cooperative agreement. The road would eliminate eight miles of the 12 miles of unimproved road between Niagara and Detroit. The chamber board's action was based on a report submitted to E. H. Blngenheimer, chamber pre sident, by the organization's high way committee Harry N. Grain, Paul B. Wallace and Douglas Mc Kay. The report was prepared by the committee after a conference with R. H. Kipp, executive secre tary of the Willamette basin com mission. The forest service engineers will not spend forest road money on improvement of the road until it is determined whether the flood con trol dam Is to be built west of De troit. The army engineers refuse to proceed under the cooperative agreement until assured that the dam can be built, its building be ing contingent on consent of the fish commission.
