The matter of a boat club and a
boat house has been conceived and
some of our young men are serious
ly considering the matter. The
proposition, if it's a go ,is to get ten
or twenty fellows interested at $100
or $50 each and build a double
deck boat bouse and club room to
be floated on the Willamette river."
It is estimated that the house
would cost about $500 nicely fixed
up, and a number of canoes could
be purchased for use of club mem
bers and for rent to outsiders. The
scheme seems' a good one and is
worth considering. . Ultimately
boating might become a popular
college sport and would undoubted
ly be better for the students than

he submitted to the ordeal he re
