for the purpose, paying the fee of one dollar
therefor, and the county court shall there

Master Willie Crossen has received the
appointment to the agricultural college at
Corvallis, from Hon. E. N. Chandler, joint
representative from this and Sherman coun-
ties to the legislature. and will leave for
that institution on the 25th Of the present
month. This institution is becoming de-
servedly popular under its present manage
ment, as it not only furnishes education in
scientific and literary branches. but also In
mechanical employments, and the young
man or young lady is better prepared to en-.
ter the battle of life, with the knowledge of
a useful art or mechanism than without.
We expect to see very many enter this col
lege, because OF this fact, and parents who
place proper consideration upon the well
fare of their children will be Interested in
having them acquire habits of industry as
well as mental discipline.
