Hor3es about Corvallis seem to
be getting quite spirited. The
team on the street sprinkler indulg
ed themselves in some athletics
last Wednesday morning. They
Btarted out with a full tank of water
and it is needless to say that the
dust was wet down pretty rapidly
for a short distance. They did not
go far before they were stopped.
No damage resulted.
Requests for information concern
ing Benton county and far sample
copies of the Gazette continue to
reach this office. This week we re
ceived notes from A. J. Sheridan, of
Gathenburg, Neb, and Burdett
Hassett, of Reliance, Va. Mr. Has
sett mentions the following persons
who are interested in the West: S
G. Weirich and John A. Seeley, of
Reliance, Va., W. H. Ginn, of Tu
lip, Va., and J. F- Weirich, Keyser,
West Va.
Last Monday was one of the
windiest days ever experienced in
this section of Oregon at this sea
son of the years. There were
shrubs and tiees damaged to con
siderable extent and the latest
styles of summer hosiery were occa
sionally displayed. Hats were
blown hither and yon and curly
hair was blown straight. The!
wind blew from the west, north
west and southwest and straight
up. It also "blew through."
On account of the rain last Mon
day night and early Tuesday
morning the crew in W, C. Cor
bet's brick yard were laid off dur
ing Tuesday. After doing the usu
al day's work the crew turned to
with a will Monday evening on the
indicatiou of rain and "hacked" 22,
500 brick. Some of the crew work
e I as late as nine o'clock in the
evening in order to save the brick
in the yard from being destroyed
by rain. J
T. T. Barnhart, who is now at
work in the Navy yard at Bremer
ton, Wash., writes that lie has
purchased a half interest in some
property. He Btands well with the
foreman and is getting along nicely.
If all proves satisfactory he will
move hip family to that point, but
he intends to await developments
and see how things go, whether
everything is satisfactory, etc. . be
fore going to the expense of moving
his effec's to that point.
Geoige Horning, the cattle buyer,
states that he has traveled from
one end of the Willamette valley to
the other during the past month or
two and is prettv well posted on
crop conditions. He says that the
outlook for a good crop of grain is
splendid. In some places he says
that there will be a pretty respecta
ble crop of wheat on white land.
This is something unusual. Mr.
Horning says that while the crop is
good the acreage, in his opinion, is
not so large as in past years.
The work of putting the roof on
the new Agricultural Hall is now
in nroffress. It is to be a tin roof
in imitation of tiling. The building
will be comDleted in time for use
on the opening of college this fall.
G. G. Knapp, a carpenter who has
been in the employ of H. Snook,
the contractor who is erecting this
building, says that the latter is
most conscientious in an tnai ne
does and all work must be well
done. His men are supposed to
take sufficient time for a given task
and do the work well. From va
rious other reports it is easy to be
lieve that nothing is to be slighted.
Moreover, his work speaks for it
self. It is not probable that any place
in the state can boast of more beau
tiful grounds than the O A C camp
us. Just at present every feature
about the college appears to be at
its best. The shrubs and flowers are
in their prime, being in full bloom-
and leaf. The walks and drive
ways are clean and are well laid
off. The credit for the general ap
pearance cf the O A C- grounds is
due to Trof. George Coote more
than any other party. He takes
great pride in his work and a stroll
through the grounds will convince
anybody that he holds a high place
as a landscape girdener. There is
but one thing commented upon
that could improve the sightliness
of the erounds. and that is the re
moval of the old, decayed, ram-i
shackle fence that runs along just
west of the administration building.
It is an eye-sore aflair and lias so
long outlived its usefulness that in
many places it leans against the
shrubbery for support. It answers
no purpose, and with its removal
nothing further could be desired,
and there would be a total lack of
ground for comment. It is hard to
make a "defense" for this "old
fence."
REGENTS MID-SIMMER MEETING
kn Alhletic Field will fee Secured, and
Eacfc Student will bo Beqaired to Pay
$ 1 -OO per Term iato Athletic Fund.
The mid-summer meeting of
the board of regents of the O A
C was held in the office of Presi
dent Gatch at the college Wed
nesday afternoon, All members
were -present except Regents Geer
and Church. Tee governor is
out with a party of mountain
climbers, whose destination is
the snmmit of Mt. Adams, while
Mr. Church has-just, left thehos
Dital after a severe illness.
Little, outside; ot the regular
business routine, " came before the
board for consideration. While
no time was wasted in idle dis
cussion, nearly five hours were
consumed in-reading and discuss
ing the reports and recommenda
tions of the various officers of the
board and faculty, so detailed are
these reports and so carefully are
they considered.
The report of President Weath
erford, of the board, was a con
cise review of the condition of the
college: The grounds, number
of buildings, their value and the
purpose for which each is used.
The total valuation of the prop
erty of the college in Benton
county is nearly $170,000. Pres
ident Weatherford said thaMhe
school year just closed waslhe
most successful in the history of
the college. The institution has
already accomplished great good
for the state, but what it has done
is but a moiety of what it will do
in the future. It has passed the
experimental stage. Concerning
the Eastern Oregon experiment
station, Mr. Weatherford said
that order had been brought out
ot chaos by J. H. Leckenby, and
that the statian will eventually
be of great value to tha people of
Eastern Oregon. It will be neces
sary, however, to expend consid
erable money to put the station
in proper condition. To do this
an appropriation of $20,000 will
be required. Of the former ap
propriation of $10,000, $7,516
has been expended.
The .report of the treasurer
showed that the income of the
college for the past year had been
$86,566.73, and the expendi
tures had amounted to $86,374,
82, leaving a balance of $191.91.
In his report, President (jatcn
stated that the total enrollment
for the last school year was 480.
Of this number, 32 r were men.
Investigation has shown that 00
per cent, of those whs have been
students at the college return to
the farm and the workshop. Re
ferring to the dormitories, Presi
dent Gatch said that credit was
due Mrs. J. B. Horner for the
excellent success attained in the
management of Cauthorn Hall.
The expense of board at that in
stitution had been $2.43 perweek,
and at Alpha Hall $2.50 per
week. The report called atten
tion to the vacancy of the chair
of music. Miss Philbrick, the
former director, had indomitable
energy and great organizing abil
ity. This department can be
made self-sustaining. The de
partment of English is now
eaual to that of any agricultural
college in the country. The
recommendation of the president
that a fee of one dollar per term
be collected from each student to
be used for athletic and other
purposes, was the subject of some
discussion. It was urged by
some that the amount was too
large and should be made to read
one dollar per year. The presi
dent nointed out the inequity of
this arrangement, lne student
who was in college but one term
would be required to contribute
as much to the athletic fund as
the student who had been in at
tendance for the full year. A
resolution was finally adopted re
quiring each student to pay a fee
of one dollar per term to be used
for athletic and incidental pur
poses. This is practically what
was requested ot the board in 'a
petition" from the student body
handed in a year ago. The presi
dent also" recommended that suit
able rounds be leased for a drill
ground and athlet'c field, and
that a fence eight feet high be
built around it. Apperson's mo
tion that the matter of leasing an
adequate amount of ground to
be used for athletic and drill pur
poses be referred to the president
of the board and the president of
the college, prevailed. Power is
also vested in these gentlemen to
have the grounds fenced, a grand
stand and flagstaff erected, and to
make other necessary improve
ments in time for use this com
in? school vear.
The reoort of the director of
the station called attention to a
number of practical and yaluable
experiments that had been con
ducted during the past vear. The
demand for institutes is growing.
This year 19 institutes, with
total of kk sessions, were held
The attendance numbered
Five bulletins have been issued
bvthe station this year.
- The finance committee warned
the board that rigid economy
must be practiced next year.
The executive committee - re
ported that it had held two meet
inps at Union, this Tear. Much
of the work done at the station in
that countv last year was destroy
ed bv flood, but steps had been
taken to avoid this in the future.
Horses and equipment have beo
purchasedof the use cttnissja
tionu Experiments in . grotfiflf
grains, trasses " and sugar Beets
and in feeding stock will behe
principal work ' of the Eastern
Oregon station tnis year. The
current expenses are about $300
per month. - There is enough
money on hand to meet these ex
penses until the next session of
the legislature, but no building
can be done or repairs made un
til another appropriation is made.
A dispute grew up between Mr.
Lackenby and some parties,
whose property adjoins the ta
tion, over certain water rights,
which threatened' to. involve the
college in an expensive lawsott,
but President Weatherford suc
ceeded in settliug 'the. difficulty
without expense to the college,
or sacrifice of its legal rights or
privileges. ' 1 7
In accordance with the recom
mendation of the college com
mittee, Regent Keady introduced
a resolution to the effect that,
Whereas, in some of the depart-f
menls of the college there is more
work than the professbr in that
department can perform, while
in other depattments the instruct
or has time for leisure; and there
being no funds to employ addi
tional instructors, it isithe desire
of the board thai idle instructors
shall assist over-worked feathers
to the extent of eight periods per
day, under the direction of the
president of the college. This
resolution was adopted.
J. H. Leckenby' s report, to
gether with a map of the grounds
of the Eastern Oregon station,
was handed to the board. Mr.
Leckenby said that the work of
the first season, 1901, at the sta
tion had been unsuccessful and
unprofitable, because of bad man
agement or failure to provide
against reprisals by the elements.
Much ditching had been done
since then, however,
and . the
work is being successfully - con
ducted. The see 1-growing' busi
ness should be encouraged, f In
tensive farming is desirable. Mr.
Leckenby recommended that 100
acres of the Eastern Oregon sta
tion grounds be devoted to grow
ing ot timber, in conclusion,
he said that a neglected farm had
been transformed into an experi
ment station.
Regent Killin informed the
board that the directors of the
Lewis and Clark exposition had
asked the board of regents
through him to prepare a grow
ing exhibit of economic grasses
for the 1905 fair. Mr. Killin in
troduced a resolution to the effect
that a committee of two be ap
pointed to take up the matter,
with the directors ot the exposi
tion, with a view to fiavmg tne
station supervise and take charge
of an exhibit of growing agri
cultural products for the fair
without cost to the college. Re
gents Killin and Leedy, master
of the State Grange, were ap
pointed on this committee and
were given power to act and re
port to the board at its January
meeting.
Recent Irvine introduced a
resolution that the department of
household economy be strength

three

ter. Irvine, K.eady ana Apper-
son were appointed on this com
mittee with instructions to report
