The visitors spent the remainder of

many expressions of delight which

ME1GNITES AFTER THE
WORLD'S BIGGEST FARM
Colony from Sect in Pennsyl
vania Negotiating for a Tract
of 25.000 Acres.
1-argo, X. D., Nov. II. The largest
farm in the world located in Cass
county, near Casseltou, will probably
pass within a week or two into- the
possession of a committee represent
ing a colony of Menuonites from
t ennsyivania. Arrangements arc be
ing made for the sale of the farm
which consists ot more than 25,000
acres, to a committee which is here
ami empowered to make the deal.
According to James Walker, who is
at the head of the Mennouite colony,
if the purchase is made, the colony
now located in Western Pennsylvania
will be moved to North Dakota. The
great Dalrymple estate will be split
up into small farms and a family will
be placed on each 100 acres.
The committee representing the re
ligious sect arrived in Kargo week be
fore last and has been negotiating
since. It is understood the owners
have been offered $65 an acre for the
entire tract.
The Dalrymple is the largest farm in
North Dakota and is declared to be
the largest in one stretch of land in
the world.
The sect was offered inducements
by the Russian government to colon
ize in Russia, but, abhorring strife,
refused to go to the land of the Czar.

people arrived by special train at 10:30

Shortly after 5 o'clock last evening

Oregon Agricultural College spoke at

C. 1. Lewis, of the same institution,
talked on "Pear Culture in the Wil
lamette Valley." Special music was
furnished last night by the Lebanon
baud ami the Albany orchestra.
While the large and splendid dis-
ay of vegetables was the principal
feature of this year's lair, the variety
of the apple exhibit was a noteworthy
feature. Though there were not so
many apples on exhibition as at many
of the former fairs there was a larger
variety than ever before. 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.
