All of the old standard varieties were repre sented and there were splendid boxes oi many varieties which are just be ginning to come 5 n t ofvaor as com mercial apples in this part of the state. Tile fact that many young commer cial orchards set out in the past few years are now coming into bearing is said to account tor the large variety of litis year's display. The quality of the fruit exhibited this year was also better than usual, indicating that orchards are receiving more systematic and inore scientific cue than heretofore. Though there were many splendid apples from young orchards, there was also considerable fruit displayed fioul orchards which have been pro ducing go.nl fruit for many years.

CITIZENS ASKED TO ASSIST IN RAISING THE MONEY About $50,000 Is Expected from City of Portland; Funds Also Coming from the East. The following; was written by a member of the laculty of the Albany College: "In a previous article I discussed the sources of the income of Albany College. I stated that tuition funds are not sufficient (nor are they ,in any of the private or state colleges in America) ; that increase cannot be expected from annual gifts; that en dowment is essential. 1 stated that a minimum og $200,000 must be secur ed if a college would be a 'standard college.' "Now Albanv College is asking $250,000 endowment. We will then need more for buildings. Where are we to get it? "First, where do other western col leges generally secure their endow ments. Stanford and the new Reed are notable instances of a great gift from a single family to a college to bear their names. But most western colleges secure their endowment uinds trom (.1) the community in - hich they are located; (2) the alum ni; (3) the larger community (prob al:Iy the state) served; (4) large giv es whose philanthropies reach the nds of the country these givers are likely to be ni the East. If the col lege is emphatically Christian and is denominational there are givers to be iniind in the particular church inter ested, both East and West. For example, a Dakota college recently secured a fund of $500,000. Of this fund Mr. Hill gave $50,000. the General Education Board (Rock efeller) $100,000: the town (a town of 6,000 people) about $SO,000; the state about as much as the town; the re- amder came from friends made by the president in constant work for ten years in New Jersey, New York. Chicago and Pittsburg. The College of Idaho, at Caldwell. a town of 3,000 or 4,000 population, gave $SS,000 t oa fund of $175,000; large part of the remainder coming from Chicago and New York. For our fund of a quarter million Albany has pledged $25,000; the re mainder of Oregon has pledged $39.- 000; the remainder of $155,000 comes from the East, including Mr. Hill's $50,000. Barely to secure the sum desired $95,000 more will be required. To al low tor a shrinkage, unavoidable al ways in the experiences ot colleges n such campaigns, Ja.ln.lO more llould be secured. "After Albany has c-iven her share of this sum, whatever that share may be. money secured for buildings must come from friends living outside Al- Kiny. So whatever Albanv shall irive now is her contribution given- to se cure not only $250,000 endowment but a building; fund also of not less than $125,000. "What is Albany's share? I have iisked this question of various busi- inen in Albany. Some s.-iv S.15.- XKI no one suggests a smaller on. mnt. Some say one dollar in every live, or $.-0,000; some say one dollar in every four or $02,500. Some ol our business men have said that if the co!!..-e as :-t-: ,-n: he realized Albany would he shrewd in investment if she should giv eeven a larger, sum, for, say thev, the citv of Albany will lv; a chief, if not THE chief, beneficiary from the college. "Suppose Albany should give $25, 000 more, where is the balance to be secured? "We hope for $50.1X10 more from Portland; from the state outside of Portland a sum not less than $10,000 more, not more than $25,000. How much more can be secured from the Last no one can prophesy: we hope for not less than $25,000 more, we might secure $40,000. "Our alumni have responded liber ally and yet more will come from them. The College Board of New Jrk (Presbyterian) has pledged $10, 000; has sent us $8,000; has helped to secure Sa.OOO in cash; and a member of the Board, the secretary aiding me to influence the giver, has pledged SI0.O10. An additional $8,000 has been pledged by Eastern givers, who prob ably were influenced by this Board to some extent. "I do not now venture to set an amount for Albanv. But this general observation is correct: Liberal sup port in the home town is of greatest possible influence elsewhere in the state and even to the farthest East; liberality in the state influences tre mendously every eastern giver. Al most always in such movements local support begins the movement and furnishes the enthusiasm. "NVh,-'n Albany College appeals this fall to Albany it is appealing for h;Ip in the largest project ever yet dared for Albany College and with greater nope of large success than ever before.
