The Maccabee picnic will be at this place on the 26th of this month. We have the best grounds in the county; they have recently been fenced and we hope the picnic will be a success. There is some complaint that the pros pect for wheat is not as good as it was some time ago, yet we believe there will be a very good harvest unless something unforseen happens to damage it. There is quite a number of colonies of bees in this neighborhood, and the out look for a large yield of honey is not as bright as it might lie, on account of the cool weather that has prevailed the past month. Dairying will be the salvation of the Willamette valley farms. Diversified farming instead of wheat raising will pay. Smaller farms, more cows and less wheat should be the watchword from now on. Elder Mulkey came up from Elkton and preached in the Christian church last Sunday at 11 a. tu , also at 8 p. m He came to fill Elder Cane’s appoint ment, who is holding a very successful protracted meeting at Elkton, and the people at that place speak very highly of him as a bible teacher and Christian worker.

To many two of the most pleasant feat ures of commencement week were the meetings of the Alumni Association held upon Wednesday. Though there were not as many of the graduates pres ent as had been expected, twelve classes were represented and enthusiastic loyalty was the pervading spirit. The business meeting was called to order at ten in the college chapel and, having to adjourn for the literary program, met again at half past four. Several important items were transacted. Dr. J. H. Cook was re elected a member of the board of trustees of the college. The provisional consti tution formulated two years ago and re modeled last year, was adopted. The association voted to make the wives and husbands of graduates welcome to the annual banquets. A method by which each member of the association may have the privilege of voting by mail for members of the board of trustees of the college, was adopted. Inception of the plan of establishing a permanent endow ment fund for the association was dis cussed. ami the practical relation of the associated alumni to the college was defined. The following officers were elected : Prof. R. E. Storey, ’95, to suc ceed himself as president; Hon. J. H. Smith, ’84, of Astoria, vice president; J. W. Loder, ’94, of Oregon City, secre tary; Etta Cook, '97, assistant secretary; Dotha Daniels, '98, treasurer. The literary and musical program at eleven o’clock will be remembered by the good-sized audience that attended the exercises as one of the best things of commencement week. The music by Miss Helen Galbreath of Salem and Prof. W. F. Fargo of Brownsville was especial ly acceptable Miss Galbreath’s rendi tion of Gimbet's "Old Black Joe” called for hearty and prolonged applause Prof. W. F. Fargo in singing "The King’s Highway” showed his old-time powers and gave especially to his old pupils a most rare treat. The annual speaker was Jno. W. Loder of the class of '94, of Oregon City. He gave a thoughtful and • well prepared address upon the subject "Utility of Power,” in which the respon sibility of college men in every walk of life to conceive and expend life’s force aright was insisted upon. Such ad dresses as were presented at this meeting will, of themselves, make the association an instrument of great power for the colle ge. The final meeting of the day was the banquet at White’s restaurant, where, amid the profusion of good things to satisfy even the fastidious epicure, good-fellowship reached ¡»4 height, Be- tween thirty and forty spent the mid- night hours “in sup and chat;” Mrs. Nettie Olds-Haight, ’90, in her best mood served as toast-mistresa, contribut ing much to the happy occasion as she introduced the speakers of the evening. I’res. H. L. Boardman, ’84, spoke of “Our Curricalum” as the exponent of our practical and real work. Our course is not a sprinting-ground but one of steady worth. A. L. Black of this year’s class was modest yet fair in his estimates of “Our Recruits”—“Rugged strength and radiant beauty,” qualities conceded by all as justly belonging to the century class. V. E. Rowton, ’99, outlined the scope and possibilities of the “Associa tion” in its social and scholastic influ ence. W. T. Fellows, ’94, just from York state, thought three thousand miles were too far to come not to make a point upon the toast, "From Under the Home-Roof.” Aroused in expecta tion, with eagerness we listened . Re member the advice of Alma Mater and feed the chicks of our brains not upon sawdust lest they hatch out clothespins. Wm. Scott, '94, presented some of the advantages accruing from “Intercolleg iate Relations,” maintaining that com petitive contest in various lines should be encouraged. One of the pleaaant features of the banquet was the receiv ing into membership of the seven mem bers of the graduating class, L. S. Hop field, Miss M. A. Wallace, A L. Black, Miss E. V. Witzel, Miss Osa Roberts, Miss M. B. Schenk and J. S. Wallace, who were present as the guests cf the association. At one o’clock the associa tion adjourned to meet in June, 1902, A Fraternal Visit. The telegraph operators in this county made a visit to the new McMinnville agent, Mr H. Brodie, last Sunday, which proved a very pleasant meeting, and highly pleased that gentleman, who knows how to appreciate favors. There were present F. M. Boyd, of White,on; I. A. Cary, of Lafayette, H. R. Satchwell, of Newberg. W. H. Smith, of Amity, H. M. Roberts, of Carlton, and Geo. Howe, of Sheridan. Our new agent is well liked tn business circles here and has proved to be an accommodating of ficial. I
