DR. KERR THE MAN.
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.

MAY NOT COACH.
At U. of O Bezdek Will Have
Influence on Team.
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.
Association of Congregational
Chnrches Holds Sessions.
The Gazette is requested to

the meeting held here a few days

sue. The eleventh annual meeting
of the East Willamette Associa

seen among the delegates piesent
and the meeting proved a bless
ing to all.
Lunch and dinner were served
each day during the meeting at
the home of Mrs. Martha Bur
nett by the ladies of the local

and the matters of organization
and business were successfully

eainest address, full of enthu
siasm and inspiration. After the
service a reception was tendered

of the local church in the church
parlors, and dainty refreshments
were served.
Wednesday morning Rev. P.
S. Knight gave an excellent ad

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.
In the afternoon occurred the
'Woman's Hour," Mrs. Alice
H. Dodd of Salem presidirjr.

Hendricks, of Salem, and a short
address was also made by Mrs.

advancement of God's kingdom
upon earth. It was decided to

To See Murray & Mack at the
Opera House.
The real theatrical treat of the
season will be seen at the opera
house tonight, when the famous
Irish comedians Murray & Mack
will present their musical com
edy "Around th Town." This
is to be the largest production
that has been in Corvallis for
years, and the management posi
tively guarantees the perform
ance equal to the best.
While the prices may seem a
trifle high to some patrons, yet it
must be remembered that it is
only once in a long time that a
production of this kind visits our
city, and the prices must be ad
vanced in order to meet ex
penses. The company carries a
chorus of thirty girls who' will
render bright and catchy music,
and appeir in costumes that will
eclipse anything ever seen on
the local stage. A full orchestra
will assist iu all musical num
bers. Real Estate Transfers.
