0. A. C. Commencement Week.
Oregon Agricultural College, Corval
Hs. Commencement at the Oregon
Agricultural college, including tne an
nual Pageant, Alumni day, baccalaur
eate, class day, and graduation exer
cises, will begin Friday afternoon,
June 2, and conclude Tuesday noon,
June 6.
The pageant, which consists of The
Seasons and Russian Fete Day, will
occur Friday. Music for the occasion,
furnished by the College Orchestra,
directed by E. Helller-Collens, will con
sist chiefly of classics, which will be
interpreted in the processionals and
dances. On Friday evening, June 2,
the Benior play will be presented by
the class.
Alumni day, Saturday, June 3, has
been chosen with a view to accommo-
! date both the alumni who are teach
: ing and those who can Bpare only a
week-end for the annual get-together.
The usual noonday luncheon will be
followed by the business meeting and
by the class reunions, which are to be
the big feature of alumni day this
year. The 'lis, '06s, '01s, and so on
are to hold special reunions, inaug
urating a plan of five-year meets that
promises to be a popular phase of
these annual alumni events. In the
evening the graduating class will be
guests of the alumni at the annual
ball.
The baccalaureate service this year
will be held in the afternoon, and the
usual evening union meeting of the
churches will not be held. This plan
haB been inaugurated with a view to
avoid any interference with regular
church exercises on a day when the
church-goers are especially interested
to meet their outgoing student-members.
Monday, June 6, will be class day.
In addition to the usual out-door fes
tivities of the graduates, there will be
a review of the cadet regiment in the
afternoon, and the graduating recital
of the school of music in the evening.
The academic procession and gradu
ating .exercises will occur Tuesday
morning at ten o'clock.
Unusual interest attaches to the
events of Commencement this year by
reason of the fact that all regular Col
lege students will be in attendance.

New Potatoes Arrive.
Tacoma New potatoes of the best
quality the local market haB seen for
years, according to commission men,
rolled in Thursday for the first time
this Beason. The new tubers, which
are red, went out wholesale at 6j cents
a pound in lug boxes and found an in
stant market. Regular shipments will
be received from now on and as re
ceipts increase priceB will decline, say
merchants.
Celery is about through for the sea-
Bon, it is reported. The vegetable is
quoted at $6.75 a crate. - Radishes,
telephone peas, artichokes, asparagus
and lettuce arrived by Bteamer and
went out quickly. The demand for
green Btuff increases daily.
Apples continue to sell good. Wine-
saps are the most popular variety here,
wholesaling from $1.25 to $1.65 a box.
Meats and poultry are firmer.
No Change in Butter Expected.
Tacoma Butter is firm and dealers
do not look for a decline for two weeks
yet. The market of the Pacific Coast
is reported to be unchanged. Receipts
of butter are none too large. Eggs
are arriving plentifully and the mar
ket is steady. Cheese is unchanged
and the demand is light.
The fish market is well supplied
with various kinds of fish with the ex
ception of salmon. Since the Beason
opened on salmon fairly good catches
have been made by sportsmen on the
Narrows and on Puget Sound. The
fish, however, are not running in large
enough schools to warrant fishing boats
to go after them, according to dealers.
Top-Notch Cattle Strong.
Portland The cattle and Bheep mar
kets opened strong at the stockyards
this week, but there was an eaaier un
dertone in the hog market, and last
week's extreme top prices in this were
not repeated. Several loadB of grain
and pulp-fed steers were sold at $9 and
a number of other loads of steers
brought $8.50 and $8.75. Butcher;
cattle were strong, with a $7.80 mar-1
ket for choice cows and a single head i
bringing $8. The hog market was off I
a nickel from last week. About 16 full
loads were disposed of, one at $9.20,
Demand for Eggs Is Active.
Portland The egg market is steady
and firm this week at prices un
changed. The demand is sufficient to
take care of all arrivals.
Poultry arrivals were not heavy, but
were large enough in view of the I
present high prices. More veal came j
in than could be worked off, but the
market was steady. Pork was strong
and unchanged.
The butter market is reported eas
ier, but the old prices prevail.
Hops Taken at 12 Cents.
The sale of the Piper lot of 100
bales of hops at Aurora. Ore., to Mc-
Clellan at 12 cents was reported.
There is no demand for contracts, in
this state.
California advices note the purchase
by Richardson of a lot of mediums at
9 cents. Unsold California stocks are
13,276 bales of Sacramentos, 8829
bales of Mendocdnos and 4334 bales of
Sonoma, a total of 21,420 ballet,

A commodity even go Indirectly re
lated to the demands of war as paper
is showing the prevailing tendencies
to such a degree as seriously to em
barrass publishers. The higher price
of paper Btock and the difficulty of
obtaining it at all In England was a
chief faotor In the discontinuance In
March of the London dally Standard,
after a career of sixty years, for a con
siderable portion of which it was the
most important organ of the middle
classes In England. In America the
demand for paper has been increasing
tor six months as a result of general
business aotlvlty. At the same time,
supplies used in its manufacture have
been decreased by war conditions, and
In some cases have almast been shut
off. The supply of old rags is affected
by the cutting off of the importations
from the European peasantry and by
the demand for the making of guncot
ton. The chemicals used in bleaching
the paper produced by sulphuric acid
and alum are being devoured by the
manufacturers of explosives, while im
portations of jute have fallen off until
the price 1b doubled. An embargo haB
been placed on shipments of wood
pulp from Norway and Sweden, while
Canada stopped access to her vast re
sources aome time ago, The newspa
per publisher is, indeed, hard hit by
war conditions in many other items
of supplies besides the basic one of
paper stock. Practically everything
going into tne manufacture of a daily
newspaper has increased in price from
10 to 60 per cent inks, owing to the
advance in the cost of acids and dyes,
from 300 to 3000 per cent; type, owing
to the higher cost of lead, tin and an
timony even the rubber and felt

rollers add their quota to the Increased

Ordinary powders and dynamites
waste much of their energy by shatter

results in land-clearing operations the explosives
should disrupt, crack, split and heave the stumps
and at the same time lift and remove the roots for
easy handling. The explosives that do this are

made by a Western Company especially to meet Pacific
Coast conditions. More than 2,000,000 pounds used every
year for stump blasting in Washington and Oregon alone.

"No doubt you are to be pitied, for
he was doubtless a good husband;
but why are you fanning his grave?"
