Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis, Ore., Aug. 12. 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.
MAN WHO SAVED PRETTY GIRL
IS REWARDED WITH KISSES
New York, Aug. 12. Four girls
who arrived at Hudson Park, New
Roehellc, yesterday afternoon in an
auto went in bathing there. One girl,
who was about 20, attracted much at
tention in her dark brown sjlk bath
ing suit. All apparently were strong
swimmers.
11 nt as they were returning from A
raft the girl in the brown suit sank.
Julian Diaz, a volunteer life saver,
swam out, dived, and brought her up.
e took her to the shore where she
soon regained her composure.
"Whom have I to thank for saving
my life?" she said. Diaz told her.
She hurried into the bathhouse and
soon reappeared, fully dressed.
"I suppose you want to know who
I am," said she to the expectant Diaz.
"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.
"That's reward enough," gasped
Diaz, as the girls climbed into their
car and sped away.

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. For in
stance the Venn, pronounced on,
fifteen stories high, filled with line of
liccs and the hum of business.
A Packard ride with F. L. Thomp-
sou, a former Albany boy who has j
made a great success, was appreciated.
In no other way can one see so much
so tpiickly as in an auto run by one 1
who knows the situation. I
Then a later visit at the "Icasnnt
home of A. B. Slauson, whose wile
was once an Albany girl, and another
one at the Hohart-Curtis with a sis
ter m law, were enjoyable expericuc-
Close by Judge and Mrs. Wolver
ton, who nude their start here, have
a new and elegant home, said to have
cost about $-'5,tXHi, with the tine site.
One tuns upon Albany people ev
erywhere. A ride in a, boat at the
Oaks, down the cluite, was enjoyed
with Harry Hyde as the boatman.
Huiness is good in Portland, all
kinds, for the season. 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. Great arc the posi
bihties here.

the fair at Shcdds on that day.
Prof. Artiiur G. Uonuet of the Ore
gon Agricultural College will address

interesting talker.

Spain, of Union county, who last year
captured the championship of the Pa
cific Northwest in the bucking contest
at the Roundup, recently suffered an

daring and plucky spirit which won
him many admirers, still dominates,
and he announces he will leave no
doubts in the minds of the spectators

"pulls leather."
