M O R E B O M B S D IS C O V E R E D . P lo t to W re c k Hom e o f Editor-in- C hiet Found in Tim e. Los Angeles—Following the explos ion and fire which destroyed the Times building, with the almost certain loss of 19 lives and injury to more than a score of others, the finding of a dyna mite bomb under the residence of F. J. Zeehandelaar, secretary of the Mer chants & Manufacturers' association, and another late in the day under the window of the residence of General Harrison Gray OtiB, editor-in-chief of the Times, kept this city in a ferment of excitement and made the day one of sensational and tragic events. Within a minute after the explasien in the Times office the instantaneous ignition of gas from the pipes through the building caused flames to dart from a hundred windows and leap far above the root. Its force was great est in the heart of the building direct ly under the composing room. The men working there were thrown to the ground and the linotype machines tum bled over like a house of cards. There were 115 employes in the building at the time, half a hundred others having left within a half hour before with the winding up of the work of the first edition. The scenes that followed were indescribable. Men cut off from ordinary exits by flames dart ing from every side, rushed hither and thither looking for means of escape and were forced finally to jump from second and third story windows. INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND PROGRESS OF OUR HOME STATE BA N KS SH O W GROW TH. C O RRESPO N D EN C E STUD Y. to Resources Increase S 2 0 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 ; 28 New Ban ks Established. University of Oregon, Eugene—The university office this year will give especial attention to its press service in the interests of taxpayers, the idea being that citizens helping in the sup port of state institutions have a right to know intimatley what those institu tions are offering in return. Besides the residence work offered in Law, Medicine, Engineering, and the various courses in the Liberal Arts col lege, the university offers special work in correspondence study for the benefit of all those unable to avail themselves of residence study. All of these courses are free of cost to the student enrolling and taking the work, except for a small amount to cover postage, the total cost to the student being one dollar for each course enrolled in. The only requirement for admission to any course is ability to carry on the work and profit by the instruction given. In every case instruction is personal; the student receives individual attention. University correspondence study is proving popular throughout the state, and is immensely valuable not only to public and high school teachers, study clubs, farmers and individuals who never expect to avail themselves of residence study, but also to those pre paring to matriculate at the university. A concrete example is offered in the experience of James Ryder, of New- burg. Last January Ryder registered for correspondence study in Analytical Geometry, and the papers which he sent in were high grade. Upon en tering the university for residence work this fall, the work which he did last year in Analytical Geometry enti tled him to take the course injCalculus, a regular Sophomore Engineering sub ject. The backbone of an Engineering course is made up of required courses, which must be taken in sequence, ¡and must all be completed before the de gree in Engineering can be givers The Engineering degree proper is not given in any of the larger institutions under five years of required work. It is so at the University of Oregon. But the advanced standing of one year which Ryder received on account of his correspondence work, coupled with summer work, if he wishes to take it, will make it possible for him to gradu ate in three years, and receive his reg ular engineering degree in four years, which time is ordinarily required for simple graduation. This course, how ever, he would not be able to pursue if he had not already worked off this course in ¡the Freshman mathematics before entering.
