O. A. C. Foundry Does Much Prac­ Commission of Five Wilt Manage
tical Work.
State Exhibit in 1915.
More than $800 has been saved the
state by one piece of work in the
foundry of the Oregon Agricultural
college, for, under the direction of A.
E. Ridenour, instructor in foundry
practice, the students have made the
castings for the brackets to carry the
pipes to be placed in the tunnel for
the extension of the heating plant, and
the manhole rings and covers.
During the year the foundry has
made fourteen runs, aggregating nine
tons of good castings.
These were
used in the shops, in repair work, and
in making new machines and equip­
ment for various departments of the
college. Thus fourteen departments
were served during the college year,
including the dairy, agriculture, chem­
istry, experimental engineering, the
various shops, physical training and
others.
During the two semesters 59 stu­
dents were enrolled in the work in the
foundry, an excellent showing for a
department just installed two years
ago. They get a training here that
prepares them to do good work, giving
them a foundation such as will enable
them to become proficient in a short
time in case they desire to go into
other foundries.

tary of State Olcott, State Treasurer

and President of the Senate Malarkey,
the governor being the only member
who did not attend the meeting.
It is expected that the commission
will organise immediately, aa it has
much work of importance.
The suc­
cess of Oregon's undertaking will de­
pend upon the work of the commission
in expending $175,000 appropriated by
the legislature for the exhibit of the
state.
The appropriation is larger than
that made by the neighboring states
of Washington and Idaho, and the
members of the commission believe it
will be ample for an adequate show­
ing.
The bill places in the hands of the
commission the ¡entire supervision of
the building or buildings, employes,
salaries of employes, and the general
conduct of the state's affairs.
Members of the commission will re­
ceive no salaries. Mr. Booth was se­
lected to represent the Southern dis­
trict, Mr. Hawley the Willamette val­
ley, Mr. Thompson Eastern Oregon,
and Messrs. Logan and Clark the Port­

SUMMER SCHOOL NEAR LAKE
Joseph, In Wallowa County, Chos­
en by University.
Willamette University, Salem—The
Willamette University will hold a
summer school at Lake Joseph, Or.,
from July 14 to August 22, inclusive.
Joseph is selected because it is situat­
ed near
Lake Wallowa and it is
planned in the years to come to hold
all the work at some advantageous
point on the shores of the lake. This
has an altitude of 4400 feet.
President Homan and Vice Presi­
dent Todd, of Willamette, have been
working upon this summer school plan
for a year. They have made several
visits to the place and have secured
the assistance of the citizens there as
well as that of the school authorities
of Wallowa county and the educators
of the border land of Idaho, Oregon
and Washington.

Charles T. Early, managing director

The new mill will

“Our policy has been,” said Mr.

is said to have made it possible for
him to accept the ambassadorship.
His salary as ambassador is $17,500 a
year. When the post was first offered
to Page he demurred because of his
lack of wealth. The firm, it is re-
ported, decided to continue Page at
his former salary on leave of absence.
