The Rev. Prof. Bruce Wolyerton,
at one time principal of; the 'Pre
paratory Department of this School,
was a vipitor at Chapel Exercises
Wednesday morning.
Several of thfl professors were
this year lucky in the matter of
receiving valentines. A professor
in the department of Entomology
received about fifty of various
kinds, one of the young instructors
in tbe chemical department rec i?
ed a number of sentimental ones,
and the instructor of ladies physi
cal culture classes was the recipient
of a valentine depicting a brawny
physical culture girl.
Mrs. J. B. Horner and daughters
expect to ppend Sunday at the

of business which requires his at
tention, will be unable to be with
us the remainder of the year
Yesterday, during Chapel exercises
Piof. Schmidt delivered an enter
taining and instructive lecture on
"Student Life in the German tTni

students differs greatly from the
Americans in many ways, and
matiy of their customs seem very
curious to us
Monday's Big Shoot.
Indications are that the big trap
shooting tournament to be held in
this city next Monday, will be
largely attended by visiting shoot
ers from different portions of the
county. Philomath, Dusty, Moun
tain View, Fairmount and Long
Tom will each be represented by
their crack shots and our local
shooters are going to have their
hands full to carry off anything
like an equal share of the prizes.
The local gun club is making all
possible arrangements for the con
venience of the participants. A
comfortable shooting stand has been
erected in which will be a warm
fire all day and hot coffee will be
seryed free. Owing to the length
of the program five expert traps
will be used instead of three, as ad
vertised. Several prizes have been
donated since tbe publication of the
program, which will mak the total
value of prizes offered about $135 in
addition to the purses in each event
which will make from $50 to $75
more. The program will begin
at 9:30 a. m. and the grounds will
be open to practice about 8:30.
