By .a recent act of Congress $UiyO0O

agriculture and kindred sciences, and
the State Agricultural College has
been intrusted with tho disbursement
ofthisJund. It ii the purpose of the
Hoard .of liegentsiio establish three, ex

Kaslcru Oregon, ono in Southern
Oregon., sind one at the college. Hcvor
itl placcE.in both sections have already
presented their claims for tho location
of these stations and there is no reason
why Umon should not present here.
Almost tho first work of the present
Board of Ilegents .was to arrange a
courscjof study which would meet tlie
needs of the industrial classes of the
State, and make the institution what
it was designed to be strictly an agri
cultural aud mechanical colleire. It
is the only institution in the state that
offers a thorough industrial education
both theoretical and practical to
i.s pupils.
Its requirements for ladmisHion are
a satisfactory examination in Arithme
tic, elementary English Grammar,
Heading, Writing, Spelling, and Ge
ography; but a Preparatory Depart
ment is connected with the College for
the instruction of such students, over
1") years of age, who foil .to pass the
zegular College examination.
In English tho course includes Eng

In.ygrieulture, Breeds of Domestic
Animals their characteristics and

In Botany and Horticulture the flora
of the State is carefully studied, and
practical work in budding, grafting,
pruning, fitting plants and harvest

Tiicliscipline, which c, military, is
firm but not rigorous, antl a prompt,

sisted .upon.
The design and aim of tlie .college is
to receive the students froiuithe farm,
educate them upon the farm,. and then
return them to the farm to pursue fann
ing, witik an education that, instead of
driving them from the farui, .enables
them to follow farming in aai intelli
gent and scientific manner.
After the address of Prof. Letcher
the audience was entertained with a -duet
by Mesdames Lloyd and Cooper.;
a declamation by L. J. Davis aud some
excellent instrumental music by Misses
Fannie, Edith and Inez Wright.
On Thursday at 1:20 p. in. Prof,
French read a papor on tho "Different
Breeds of Animals aud Adaptation
to Particular Uses." Tho Prof, was
listened to with great interest. The
native home of the different breeds
and the conditions of their life there
was reviewed. The necessity w
shown of continueing our efforts at
breeding these cattle hero iu the same
vjincs in which they excelled at home.
lU'he history of our native cattle, so
called, was dwelt upon at length. The
Devon, Hereford, Polled Angus, Gallo
way, snort Horn anil Durham each
received attention aud their merits as
beef or dairy cattle compared. A
chart was shown on which was indi
cated comparative weights, and gains
in weight, of the different breeds of
cattle en an experiment at the Michi
gan Agricultural College in 1888.
A diacussion followed by Mr. W- T.
Wright, Judge Sanders, Prof's. Lotcher
and Washburn, Hon. Dunham Wright
ilon. L. 1$. Binehart xnd others.
Mr. Weight thought that corn had
more to do with an animal's capacity
toondure a eeverc winter than many
poople believed. Ho gave it asj his
opinion that dark colored cattle could
endure more than the light colored ones
He tlwught thmt the Short Horn cattle
were the best for Eastern Oregon.
After the dieciuwion a charming song
was rendered by the Misses Driver and
Dotson.
Mr. W. T. Wright then delivered an
excellent address on "Dairy Farming."
He stated that for the host "gilt-edgo
butter" the Jersey cow was first and
foremost. In this all seemed to agree
with him. The points of a good Jer
sey cow, as established by tho Atneri
can Jersey Cattle Club were cited.
A discussion on this subject followed
by Mr. J. M. fielder, Prof's French and
Letcher, Mrs. Hendcrshott and Mrs
J. B. Eaton and others. Mrs. Eaton
dwelt at some length on. tho details of
butter making. When trying to make
the very best of butter she prefers to
take the butter from the churn when
the grains are the size of a mustard
Beed and not as largo as wheat grains.
Aftor a few remarks by Chairman
Binehart the meeting adjourned till
evening.
The evening session was called to

The choir rendered a superb anthem,
and little Miss Bello Hondersoil of
Sparta delighted the audience with a

An address on "Hoods and Boad
Building" was then delivered by Prof.
Letcher. He showed the necessity of
good roads and the vast aid they are to
commerce, tho development of the
country and social intercourse, und
cited tho effect bad on different nations
by good and substantial highways. Ho
said that Oregon is badly in need of
good toads and that the legislature
would do well to make liberal appro
priations for the purpose of improving
the roadj. II hoped that the isolated
valleys and mineral lauds of Oregon I sivo steam hoisting and pumping ma
would soon be brought into easy com-1 ehinery, and an incline shaft on tho
munication with the markets of the
world by tho construction of substan
tial highways. He dwelt. at some
length on the best methods of build
ing roads and keeping them in repair,
lie thought that experienced engi-
be appointed for each
dutv it should be to
oversee tlie construction of all ronls.
ledgo will be sunk 1500 feet below tho
present workings and at each 100-foot
level a drift will be run on the ledgo
100 feet cither way from the shaft.
When this is done a plant of 100 tons
daily capacity will be immediately
built by the present owners.
The "Gold Hidge" group from which
were some rich specimens, embraces
The address was followed by .an in-1 tho "Gold Hidge," "Legal Tender" and
struniental duet by Mrs. Hull and I "Hidden Treasure" owned bv Homier-
Miss Kennedy. Turner Oliver read
an original poem by Judge Braiuard,
ontitled "Tho Valo of Grande Hondo"
aud concluded with a declamation on
titled "On The Farm." A vocal solo
was excellently rendered by Miss
Bertha Bloch.
.Dr. Jay Guy lowis of Sparta, ws
introduced and iu a most eloquent and
entertaing manner gave a vivid des
cription of Eagle valley and tlie won
derful ledges and placer mines of Spar
ta. At the close of his address ho
presented the mineral collection,
which was sent iu by the citizens of
Sparta, to the Agricultural College.
The collection of fruits sent in by tho
citizens of Eagle valley ho presented to
the editors of Tun Scout and Bopubli
can, with tho exception of tho big
watermelon, wiucn no donated, un
conditionally, to Prof. Letcher who
.had been keeping awishful eye on it
during tho entire session. Mr. Davis,
of the Hepublican, thanked tho donors
on behalf of the press.
A discussion on the diseases of Jer
sey cattle was then token up and con
tinued at-como length.
A vocal solo was rendered Ly Mr.
Mat Hall, and a piano -solo by Miss
Fannie Wsfght.
On motion tho thank: of tho Insti
tute was tendered to Dr. ..lay GuyLow-
ds, Mr. Jleqj. Longloy, Capt. Craig and
.Mr. H. A. JJarrows for tho interest
they took in the work ami for their
labor iu ibringing so far tho exhibit of
ithe producUs-of Eaglo valley.
On Friday s 1 :1!0 p. in. Prof. F. L.
Washburn, of tho college was intro
duced and .delivered a very interesting
and instructive lecture on thp olmrao-
toiistics of fruit, pests that now infest
the orchards of itlio state and the best
methods of .destroying them. In the
ccourse of his remarks ho gavo the re
fiultsof experiments made at the col
lego farm and described how tho groon
apis could be exterminated with soap,
tobacco etc. Ho introduced a gopher
trap which he recommended; spoke of
tho work of the fotomoligist, showin
the implements used, ?.ud hoped that
every farmor will soon havo a library
and exerciso his brains as well as his
muscels.
Hon. J. II. Hendcrshott spoke in
high terms of tho exhibit and gavo his
ideas of fruit raising. He would set
out trees at least .'!0 feet apart and
place two boards iu a V shapo on tho
southwest side of each treo to protect
it. Ho thought that there cannot he
too much irrigating provided tho va-
ter runs off. Timothy he thought, was
poisonous to fruit trees.
Judgo O. P. Goodall delivered an
excellent address on "Diversified Farm
ing" an'd Prof. French spoke upon the
j-uccess of crops in Oregon.
On the closing evening the meeting
