Although summer is several months away, active plans are making for the instruction of as many as 700 students at the summer ses sion. , So large a number, it is feared, will severely tax the capacity of the buildings on the campus and it' is not improbable that agitation for increas ed quarters will be started.

THE CITY IN BRIEF Visit From College Chum Refreshes Snyder a Memory. Al. Snvder says that "if a man's beforesight was as good as his be-, hindsight," the chances are that !o dav he would be a near-millionaire, and proves it in this way: Forty -two years ago Ueorge W. Morgan ana himself were mess and college chums at old McMinnville college. Soon after Morgan drifted up into Eastern Washington and went into tanning. Snyder stuck to a print shop in this vailey. Morgan has nine Jiundred acres of land near Spokane and this vear sold 18.000 bushels of wheat at 85 cents, took in the fair at San Fran cisco and is spending the winter with his family in Portland, while Snyder has graduated from the print shop and is managing to exist by writing insurance. Both started with the same opportunities, but entered dif ferent channels of business; and while Morgan has prospered and be come wealthy, Snyder has merely held his own. Hence, he says, no man has a right to find fault with the fates, but rather a failure to grasp oppor tunities offered to evcrv man. Mr. Snyder was very much pleased to re ceive a visit from his old friend Sat urday last, after a separation of forty years, and it was a pleasure to talk over the happenings of tbe misty past. Although Mr. Morgan is located in a rich wheat belt of Washington, . he fell in lore with Dallas and its sur roundings, and intimated to his old rhnm that he wonld see more of .his Feetion before he returned to his home. Miss Kleim Oxford, a graduate of a Texas school of music, and an ad vanced student of O. A. C, will teach piano at 309 Court street. For terms phone 852. 85-tf. Sav, you enthusiastic "Made in Oregon," "Support Home Institu tions ' shouters and boosters, have you stopped to think that the Oregon Fire Keliet association ot McMinn ville is an Oregon concern and that all the money put into it for your safe protection against fire is kept right here in Oregon instead ot being sent out to enrich some corporation.
