Thursday there was a meeting of the board of Regents of the .Oregon Agricultural College, located in Corvallis, at which time was selected a successor to President Gatch, who retires on the 17th of next July. Dr. W. J. Kerr, at present filling the position of president of the Uiah Agricultural College, is to be our new president. OAC is no longer an infant in stitution it now ranks high among the colleges of the kind throughout the United States. During recent years its growth has been all that its truest friends could have hoped for. To President Gatch is due great praise and credit for the present standing of our college. The duties of the institution in the tin v virroi ic has gained have be cj:ne very strenuous ones and Pie ;ident Gatch in his declining y -vs has felt them very heavy at t'mes. They are such as will at times tax a man in the vigor of life, and such a man we are informed is Dr. Kerr. The duties of this particular field are not unknown to the new president. He has had years of experience in just such work as will confront him at OAC. No man could be more highly reommanded than Dr. Kerr. When he comes here he will find many willing heads and hands to assist and to welcome him- The committee selected from the board of regents to inquire and report on a man to succeed President Gatch consisted of Mrs. Waldo, E. E. Wilson and J. K. Weatherford- The findings and recommendations were laid before the board at its meeting in this city Thursday afternoon and the ratification of the select ion of Dr. Kerr resulted. The committee acted carefully and with every possible safeguard that would insure the selection of the very best available man for the position, regardless of any thing which might have a tend ency to make the is ue obscure and we hops an 1 balieve they have made a wise choice. PROBLEMS; YET UNSOLVED. What is the country coming to? is a question that may well be asked. Corporations and com binations of all kinds are using t.aeir power to corner and con trol the necessities of life. The government is busy all the time of late in the struggle to force a square deal for the common peo ple from the great capitalistic organizations of tha land- Mad ness seems in the air. Corporations are not alone, by any means, in their efforts to mike things interesting for the general public. For example: Look at San Francisco today and it will be seen that the people of the Bay City, the prde of the Pacific Coast, are facing a street enr strike. This is not all. Add ed to the trouble in dealing with the greatest ring of grafters! ever born to the West, and the street car disturbances, the tele phone girls threaten to "walk out." So it goes -all in one city. Look at the conditions in Boise, Idaho, today and you must e shocked. It seems that in that section at least there is reason to believe that the law must mis carry. In trying those accused of the murder of Gov. Steunen berg doubt prevails as to the possibility of securing a jury of sufficient hardihood to face the danger curtailed by finding Moy er, Haywood et al guilty of mur der. It is said to be the opinion of calm minded men that a juror who would subscribe to a ver dict of "guilty" in this case takes his life in his hand. Certainly this is a monstrous and deplorable condition of af fairs to find anywhere, much less in the United States, - supposed to be among the foremost of civ ilized countries. Until the pos sibility of lawless men intimidat ing whole communities and act ing openly in defiance of the laws of the land becomes an unheard-of proceeding we have much to deplore and little to boast. We have a great country the greatest on the globe in resources but so far the crea tion of the highest citizenship we have not advanced so very far. "UNFAIR", SAYS "RUEF. It is quite the customary pro ceeding for a man facing trial fjrany sort of crime to cry "un fair" and to attack the people of his community. There is noth ing new in the procedure. Abe Ruef, the arch grafter of the entire San Francisco aggrega tion, to judge from what has al ready transpired, now declares that he cannot secure a fair and impartial trial in the county where he has committed the al leged public outrage. Ruef prays for a change of venue and gives many of his rea sons for so doing. To ask for a change of trial to some other county is to admit that he has made himself odious generally in his own county. It is a reflec tion on San Francisco justice and the people, who administer the same. As Ruef's alleged depre dations were committee in San Francisco, and the people of that city were the ones, if any, to suffer from the outrages it seems but fair to them that they ave a voice in ascribing his punish ment. "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." HAPPENED LAST NIGHT. OAC Men at Pullman WrmThev Are. Carl Clark, .Royal S Heck and Mark Weathert'mi left Sunday for Pullman, Wash., where last night they were to meet the Pullman- men in a debate on the question, "Resolved, that the Monroe Doctrine Should be Discarded as a Part of the Per manent Policy of the United S ates " OAC whs to defend cue negative ot the question. All f the OAC boys are members Ot :he seuior class and have had ex perience on the platform. While they have had no coach they ; ive bea workiug hard and-it vas exoected that they would jresent a strong line of argument igainst tne Washington school. Carl Clark, the first speaker, jomes trom Portland.

He is a strong extemporaneous speaker, a clear thinker, and without question one of the best debaters OAC has ever produced. Mark Weatherford, the last speaker on the team, comes from Olex, Giiliam couuty. He has (he reputaiion of being the strongest speaker in school. He is not enly a debater of consider ible experience but has also been prominent in the o.atorical con gests of the college, this year re presenting the school in the in terstate contest. He is perhaps the strongest man on the team, if ot the strongest the school has ever produced.

If you have any sympathy for human ity help the reporter these days by hand ing in, telephoning, or telling what items of news you know or hear. The good old summer time is at hand and the re porter, like the rest of ye mortals, has a "hankering" for the shade of the old apple tree, a comfortable hammock and an interesting biok. but these things are not mentionable .with the newspaper rustler. A greedy public constantly de-1 mauds an account of the happenings in his vicinity, fand as these ''happenings" grow woefully less as tne quiet season advances, it is up to the reporter to keep moving. Add to oar other summer va cation pleasures the knowledge of at least one humane died ,ive the report er an item. Represen tatives of the three or four hundred acres of walnut orchards in Yamhill county have a very progressive "walnut club" which holds its meetings ! in McMinnville for the purpose of lur thering the interests of walnut culture in this section. Large individual walnut trees in different parts of the county that were planted for ornamental purposes years ago have amply demonstrated the suitable climatic and soil conditions of this section for the culture of English walnuts, and a large acreage now com ing into bearing has been the result of the knowledge gained. In addition to the acreage already growing there have been close to 300 acres of new trees plant ed in the couuty this spring. News Re porter.

The OAC baseball men won fresh laurels for themselves in a game on the 1 cal field, Saturday afternoon, with the Chemawa Indian nine. The score was 9 to 6 in favor of OAC, and a 1 arge crowd witnessed the contest which was close and exciting. From present indications the baseball men will keep up the repu tation of the oransse in this line of sports. In the long relay race from Sa'em to Portland, wberein ten Indian,, runners from the Chemawa Indian training school competed against ten wliite men from the Portland Y. M C. A., the brawn and endurance of the Auieiiuau Indian proved superior to that of the w hite ran, and the honor of delivering the Gover nor's "iessags to, Mavor Lane of Portland fell to the lot of Amos Smoker, a fifteen year old Klaoiatli Indian.
