the weekly literary society meetings held

respectively.
The farmers of Linn coroty are very
desirous of having a farmers institute to be
held at Lebanon in the near future. Proba-
bly, the next institute, after McMinnville,
will be held at Lebanon.
Work in the experiment station consits
at present in mineral water analyses, and
work on fertilizers. Prof. Shaw has shipped
samples of carnegrie roots to various parts
of Oregon for trial growth.
The display of chrysanthemums of the
horticultural department. is splendid and,
although the season for these flowers is
almost over, yet the interior Of the green.
house is still one mass of brilliant oolors.
On Wednesday evening message was
received from Forest Grove to the effect
that the Pacific University team would not
play our boys next Saturday, thus giving us
the game by default. This places the O.
A. G. in second place for the championship.
An exhibition game will probably be ar.
ranged with Eugene or Salem.
We make our bow to the editor of the
Albany Democrat, and admit that some of
his criticisms on the last football game were
very much to the point. But would also
suggest that he learn the differences between
this and last years football rules, before
reporting any more games, as then he will,
no doubt, be fit to stand in Judgment over
any game, not only in Oregon and the North.

The students CT the college were treated
to a fine address l.ss Friday evening. 1t
was delivered by MIR. II. B. Miller, of Grant s
Pass, his subject being Economics" The
bad weathsr prevented the townspeople
from attending the lecture to any great ex
tent, but theirf absence svas III the main
made up by students. MIR. Milier's address
was one of the best that..has ever been deliv-
cred at the college, and he dealt with his
subject in = most clear aud forcible manner
The main point brought out in the lecture
was, that all industries depend largely on
natural laws as well as on artificial laws,
and that in order to make a success of these
industries, mans law must stamp nature

applicable from the fact that Mr.. Miller il q
