The first step toward the establish men t of a co-op-jiative student bookstore at the Ore gon Agricultural College has just been taken by the appointment of A. E. Kschriclit of Portland, a graduate of the school of mines this year, as manager for 1912-13. The rapid growth of the college has brought a (b-mand for the co-operative store which for three years has stirred up much discussion. Each semester the enrollment was beyond anticipation so that the necessary text books were not on hand, and much delay was experienced in supplying classes with materials for their work. A committee appointed the past year to investigate conditions and confer with tlie college authorities decided to pave the way for a co-operative or ganization by the appointment of a graduate manager, that further steps may be taken at the close of this year. The present structure occupied by the school of mines, to be vacated this fall upon completion of the new mining building, will be turned over to the hook store. Until now the supplies and books have been sold from the business of fice in the administration building. The trophy room will also be locat ed in the same building as the book store, and the championship cups and banners and other trophies will be gathered together there, where they can be kept in safety.

"Well, I'll only tell you I'm Kthel Jameson and that I live in the Hronx. Mut 1 want to reward you." Whereupon she threw her arms about his neck and kissed him on both cheeks.

Nutting. ) The Misfit man had the pleasure of a nOrcgon F.lectrie ride to Portland, a big, bounding city, full of life and activity, almost a suburb of the Hub, so quickly does an Oregon Licet ric limited take one along. Portland is a beautiful town, rapidly going back into the hills and on lop of them. Such homes as one sees, particularly on Portland Heights, where the finest scene in the world is presented to view, matchless any where. Portland's magnificent new build ings are worth a peep at.

Don't take the word ot pessimists that cver thing is a corpse. Hut Albany looks the best ot any plaee in Or, and what a country we have around it Today a titty-live uule ride out Halsey and Peoria way w is a revelation, one that made the eves of an 111 teacher in the rig keep j open, regardless ot the dust and sweet I valley breces.
