Chosen For President of Oregon Agricultural College. Thursday afternoon the board of regents of OAC met in this city and elected a new president to succeed Dr. Thomas M. Gatch, the honored head of the institution whose resignation be comes effective July 17th. The man chosen to succeed President Gatch at OAC is Dr. W. J. Kerr, at present the presi dent of the Utah Agricultural College. The election was un animous, but all members of the board being present save Secre tary of State Benson. The Oregonian Friday gives a complete account ot the regents' meeting, with interesting infor mation relative to the new pres ident, as follows: Dr. Kerr is to take active charge of the Oregon institution at the annual meeting of the boarn July 17, when the resigna sion of President Gatch takes effect. He still retains his posi tion in the Utah college, but will resign there to .accept the posi .ion here. Dr. Kerr is a scientist of nat ional reputation. He is 43 years of age, graduate of Cornell Uni versity, the agricultural college of the State of New York. He has been 13 years a college pres ident, of which the last seven years were spent in the presi dency of the State Agricultural College of Utah. During his incumbency in .the latter institution the enrollment has more than doubled, the agri cultural department having more than trebled in attendance, hav ing risen to immense importance in is influence in the state. The institution is now reputed to have the best soil physics labora tory in the country. A poultry department has been created and receives requests tor information throughout this country, as well as New Zealand, Australia and elsewhere. He owns and has for years conducted a Urge farm independ ently of his professional work. He is a member of the associa tion of agiicultural college presi dents and at the meeting of that body in 1905 read a paper on the province of land grants or what are better known as agricultural and mechanical colleges, which paper has been largely circulated and copied. ' He is the author of a treatise in two volumes on applied science, which is now in press. He is a member of the American ; Association for the Advancement of Science. An exhibit at the Lewis & Clark exposition from the Utah institution attracted general interest because of its ex cellence. It consisted of wood and iron work, cooking and sew- :ing, and agricultural features. I Dr. Kerr was favorably report- ed for the position by a special committee consisting of Mrs. Waldo, E. E. Wilson and J. K. Weatherford after a canvass of many applications. He is un reservedly recommended as an executive of force, tact and -reat information and ability by Presi dent Wheeler, of the University of California, President Bryan, of th Washington State Col lege, President Smith of the Michigan Agricultural College, Judge Goodwin of the Salt Lake Tribune, Dr. Talbot of the Meth odist Mission of Salt Lake, and others. An Alarming Condition. One of the questions of the day is, where is the strike craz to end? Nothing like it has been known before in the his tory of the country, and the enri is not yet. M ire wages and less work is the constaat demand, until securing help.in any line ot work has become to be almost a case ot "something for nothing" when the amount of work is compared to the wages paid. Up in Seattle a strike was inaugura ted Friday morning and a mes sage from there says: "More than 1,000 men are idle in Seattle ia the iron trade as a result of the strike inaugurated ot union molders. They have been paid as high as $4.50 per day of nine hours but demand the 8-hour day. The employ ing toundrymen ot the entire sound courty refused the demand of the men on the ground that they did not perform more than seven hours actual work, the re mainder of the time being put in waiting for heat in the plant. Three hundr.-d or more molders are directly affected but twice that number of men in other branches of work dependent on tue operation of the foundries have been discharged. Neither side is willing to admit the possi bility ot concessions and the em ployers are getting men from the east to fill pi aces made vacant bv the strikers." Plan Great Things. California is exerting herself to entertain the Mystic Shriners from Oregon who are now tour ing the Golden State. A Los Angeles dispatch says: Typical of southern California, in general for size and scope and of the generous hearted citizens who will have the affair in charge, foj carefulness of detail and unrivaled hospitality, the Shrikers' program for Fiesta week, as announced by poten tate Motley H. Flint of Al Mal- iakah Temple is varied and at tractive in the extreme and if the visiting nobles are not suffi ciently entertained it will not be lor lack of some place to go where welcome is assured. Catalina, Glendale, Holly wood, Pasadena, Redondo, Long Beach, Venice and the historic Baldwin ranch at Arcadia have all contributed their best toward making the visit of the Shriners a success. Each of the cities and resorts mentioned have ap pointed committees and sub committees to take the matter in hand and attend to the recep tion of their guests and every oue will try and outdo the other in offering the best, both of enter- tainmeut and hospitality. About D r. Kerr. The selection ot a new presi dent for OAC is a matter of state interest and various papers offer comment on the election of Dr. Kerr. The Oregonian says edi torially: The board of regents of the State Agricultural College has chosen Dr. W. J. Kerr as presi dent of that institution. The credentials of Dr. Kerr attest that he is a graduate of Cornell Universitv, that he has been a college president for thirteen years, that he is a practical and scientific farmer, and that he has conducted with signal success the State Agricultural College of Utah, the presidency of which he wi 1 resign to take the Oregon position. The board has deliber ated long and earnestly over the selection of a successor to Presi dent Gitch. whose resignation will take effect at the annual meeting June- 17. There was but one object in view that of securing the man, all things con sidered, who was the best quali fied for the position. This the board believes has been done. ine entire slate will j un in a welcome to Dr. Ktrr, and pre cede it witri tie tiope that he may p.ove t le right man in the riht place.

It has not 'been determined yet whether Physical Director Bez dek will coach next year's foot ball team at the university or whether other arrangements W'l! be made, says the Guard. A committee has been appointed to look alter that, but no decision has been reached or made public. Hugo Bezdek put out last fall probably the best team that ever represented the university. Of course all was not due to him, for the material was extraordi nary, but nevertheless a great deal was due to his experience. Next year, wherever he coaches whether here or any other place he will be a much better man for besides added skill in matter concerning football directly, he will understand imparting his knowledge and handling his men far more successfully. For this reason there' may be some doubt about Bezdek con senting to remain here unless the athletic council should grant whatever he d?sires. Bezdek says he would like to stay with Oregon, for he likes the men. The western man is different from the eastern man, and he ap pears to have eujoyed his first year's work. Besides coaching football, Bez dek has shown himself to be a good basketball and baseball coa;h, and has put out good teams, considering the material. The action of the athletic coun cil will be watched with great in terest, for the choice concern the making of the football team and its quality very materially. SUCCESSFUL MEETING.

After the service a reception was tendered the delegation by the members of the local church in the church parlors, and dainty refreshments were served. Wednesday morning Rev. P. S. Knight gave an excellent ad dress which was followed by the greatest of all questions before the Congregarional church to dav, and especially this associa tion, an address on the '"Pros and Cons of Tri- Federation" or the "Tri-Charch Unicn" by Rev. Dell of Salem. It proved an interesting and enthusiastic subject, and when open for iis. cussion, the whole delegation seemed anxious to take part. All things else were forgotten and it was long past the hour for ad journment before the subject had been satisfactorily settled and' the vote had been carried by an overwhelming majority.
