O. A. C. Commencement Week.
Oregon Agricultural College, Corval-
lis. Commencement at the Oregon
Agricultural College, including the 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. Hellier-Collens, will con
sist chiefly of classics, which will be
interpreted in the processionals and
dances. On Friday evening, June 2,
the senior 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 spare 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
has 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 5, 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 has seen for
years, according to commission men,
rolled in Thursday for the first time
this season. The new tubers, which
are red, went out wholesale at 6 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 prices will decline, say
merchants. '
Celery is about through for the sea
son, it is reported. The vegetable is
quoted at $5.75 a crate. Radishes,
telephone peas, artichokes, asparagus
and lettuce arrived by steamer and
went out quickly. The demand for
green stuff 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 season
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 sheep mar
kets opened strong at the stockyards
this week, but there was an easier un
dertone in the hog market, and last
week's extreme top prices in this were
not repeated. Several loads 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
ket for choice cows and a single head
bringing $8. The hog market was off
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
present high prices. More veal came
in than could be worked off, but. the
market was steady. Pork was strong
and unchanged.
The butter market is reported eas
