S. W. Thompson, the jeweler, when

then have the opportunity to examine

- RESUMED.'
NEGOTIATIONS NEARLY PE2FEGT
Probable That Big Intercollegiate Tour
naments of Past Tsars Will
; ' BeSestansd.
Old G?ads, Immensely Pleased With
- the Proposition Willamette and Uni
versity cf Oregon Now Pushing Pro
' Ject To Take Place on Pair Grounds.
Athletic relations between the five
big educational institutions of Oregon
will undoubtedly be resumed again this
year. This is the feeling at Willamette
University, and is shared by one or
more of the five . big colleges in the
state. Negotiations looking to' that end
are even under, consideration and there
seems to be small reason for believing
mat couege men mrougnout t be state
will not again: meet upon the campus
jor a. Dig intereouegiate contest.
I If the meet is arranged it will be held
at the State Fair Grounds some time
in the early 'part of June. The Pair
G rounds i are t familiar old stamping
(grounds f 6r eollege brawn, speed and
muscle, ana in tbe years past have wit
negsej some splendid work in athletic
tournaments. A - resumption of these
athletic meets will be a step in the
right direction and will be hailed with
acclaim by. the graduates of the big
state colleges. . TUose who have partic
ipated in the past in these big tour
neys say it has always been a souree
of regref to them that the advisory
athletic boards of the Several institu
tions ever broke off athletic relations,
and asse , tnat it is the desire of their
hearts to see the students match speed
and brawn again on the Fair Grounds.
Impetus to the movement has been
jdven tho project by Manager Simpson
of Willamette University, and Manager
Whittlesey of the University of Oregon
at Eugene. Both men are prime for re
sumption; of i the intercollegiate meet
and are making every effort to induee
the managers of athletic affairs at the
Pacific. University, at ForestGro ve, the
State Agricultural College and Xewberg
College to join in the proposition. It
has also been suggested to extend the
invitation to the college at McMinn
ville, thus including all the big educa
tional institutions in the state.
Such meets as the one proposed is one
nf t he best thincs that a big education
1 institution ean take up. it inspires
the student fits him for better work in
the. -lass room and serves also to ad
vert ise the college and state over the
land. Oregon seems to be the only state
in the Union in which there is no an
nual state eollege athletic meet, and
graH ' ; relieve the affair should be
resumed.
Willamette is going to put a fast
track team into the field this year, and
the other five colleges wilt: have thefr
troubles to keep in the going if the meet
hould be pulled off. Tb Salem institu
tion has secured a splendid trainer in
Homer I. Keller of the Ohio Wesleyan
College, who will have to" do with put
ting the men in shape for the athletic,
stunts of tbe coming season. Mr. Kell
er will have, absolute control of the
track and field men. He is an all-round
athlete himself and will apply his splen-
lid knowledge of tbe business of traln
ng athletes, gathered from some of the
best trainers in the East, to his work at
Willamette University.
In looking over the material he will
have to work on for the coming season
Mr. Keller savs he is well pleased. In
the weights, with the hammer, shot and
lisens. Willamtte is especially blessed.
harm i? several biCt husky fellows who
fnve. promise of sending the metal fab
ulous distances. - There is good material
in the pole vault line, as well. lie has
yet to personally determine what there
is in tbe way of timber topping mater
ial and distance men, as well as in the
sprints and short dashes. However, tht
work of last year demonstrated that
Willamette was not slow in any of these
lines and it is saie to say that she will
send some speed merchant to the
scratch this year. v, i
The first steps looking to tbe selection j
of track and field team timber will be,
taken this week, when Mr. Keller will
organize his initial class in gymnasium
work. Manager Simpson of tbe track
team Jibs issued a can tor canaiaates
.ind a bitr response is anticipated. The
men will be sent to work in the "gym"
iust as fast as they report and in a
few weeks it will lie definitely known
just what material there can be figured
on for the coming spring and summer
meets. The weeding-out process will be
beeun after three or four weeks work,
at which s time the various candidates
will be sent to their specialties, and
given thorough drilling and training
along the lines to which they seem
best adapted. -
Just as soon as conditions of train
ing and weather permit, Mr. Keller will
put his track men to work out of doors.
The track that circles the University
campus will be pnt in shape at once
for the purpose and the men will have
the advantages and benefits to be de
rived from outdoor work.
Besides his athletic work, Mr.-Keller
will do something in the academic line,
having been assigned to the position of
assistant instructor in German. For,
besides being a' finished athlete, ,Mr.
Keller is a splendid student in modern
languages and will be found a desirable
acquisition to the teaching faculty of
Willamette University.

So Vote the House and Senate Tester-
day Representative Caldwell, Father
of House Measure, Given a Severe
Dressing Down by Bingham of Lane.
(From Saturdsy's Daily.)
Every attempt to reduce tho educa
tion advantages in Oregon bas met with
overwhelming defeat in the hands of
the members of the Oregon Legislature.
The Senate and lloupe of Representa-
tives yesterday voted, down bills to
abolish ihoV Btate Normal school at
bills to
school at
Drain. The bills were nearly similar. j
The Legislat nre willinglv appropriates '
iarge sums of money to institutions off
learnine but will not stand for the
abolishment of schools , even though
they are the source of great expoadi -
ture. The discontinuance of the Drain
I. Normal school in Douglas county has'.. . m 4. , A-r .
been talked for some time and for a
while 'it looked as though the agitation
would bear fruit.
'The defeat of the two bills for-the
same purpose precipiiatea inginy ana
Heated debates, but in the -Senate the
fight was mild, compared to tnat in the
tlouso of Representatives. When the
bill came up for filial passage i a the
Sower branch of the Legislature Repre
sentative Caldwell,1 the author of the
measure, "took the floor confident that
he could prove to the members tie ab
surdity of the farther continuation of
the Drain nchooL lie had a catalogue
with which he showed that the school
had been "going backward ever since
it had been taken Control of by tbe
state a number of years back. ; The
catalogue showed that only thirty pu

Bineham. of Lane, spranff a sensation
when he attempted to repudiate the
statements made by the Bepreseatative
from Yamhill countv. Mr. Bingham Tro
dueed a letter from the superintendent
of the school in which it wss asserted
that 154 teachers bad graduated from
that institution in ; six years. , Mr.
Bingham went on to say that the school
f tfm SB educational standpoint was
I 'not' excellev. by any of h tacrs in
the state. Mr. Bingham stated that it
! had cost this school less per capita to
torn out graduates than any other sim

the best way out of dit was to lay the

however, and the bill passed by a large
