WILL BEGIN SCHOOL WORK
Dallas College Will Begin Fall Term
One Week From Next
Monday.
The sixth year of work at Dallas
College will begin Monday, September
25, at 10 a. m., with informal exercises
in the college chapel. President C. C.
Poling will be present to preside at
the meeting. He will present some of
the views one gets of the work of the
college at long range, and will tell of
what may be expected from the friends
of the school in the eastern states.
Prof. C. A. Mock, the new member
of the faculty, who will have charge
of the department of ancient languages
and literature, will make his first
appearance before a Dallas audience
at this time and will address the
students.
The other members of the faculty
for 1905-6 will all be on hand and
ready for any service that may make
the most of the work for the school
during tke coming year. With the
return of Dr. Poling and the advent
of Dr. Mock, Dallas College will enter
upon its next year's session with an
exceptionally strong corps of in
structors, which assures a year of
most effectual school work.
The student body will also be
strengthened by the coming of some
exceptionally promising young people.
This gives assurance of strong public
work in the literary societies, the
athletic field and the christian asso
ciations, as well as in other school
enterprises.
It takes a strong student body, as
well as a strong faculty, to make a
strong school. From present indica
tions, it appears that this happy com
bination will be reached and that the
coming year will by many odds be
the greatest in the history of the
institution.
All are invited to be present at the
opening exercises. Come and enjoy
the hour and lend your encouraging
presence to boost this good work
along.

Editor 01 Prominent Chicago Medical
Journal Gives a Few Impressions
of Oregon.
Dr. Arthur Butler sends us a copy
of the Alkaloidal Clinic containing a
graphic description of the editor's
recent visit to Portland and the Lewis
and Clark Fair. The Alkaloidal
Clinic is one of the leading medical
publications of America, and the
opinions of its editor are worth while.
He says :
"The meetinor of the American Med
ical Association at Portland will rank
as one of the most successful in the
history of the Association. The Lewis
and Clark Exposition, the professional
attractions and the glorious climate
of the Northwest, combined induce
ments the doctor could not resist; and
long before the meeting closed the
registration had climbed up over
1,000 and the doctor brought his wife
along too. For the delightful excur
sion up the river more than 3,000
guests showed up. Theentertainments
were lavish and unique beyond any
thing in the history of the Association.
Never has the A. M. A. been so enter
tained : never has a local profession
done anything which can be compared
with that which was accomplisned Dy
the doctors of Portland.
"The climate of Portland must be

bursing officer for the Grande Rondo
Indian reservation, has taken one of
his wards, Anton Wheeler, to Portland
to answer to the federal grand jury
for assault. Dr. Kershaw believes
crime is increasing on the reservation,
