pervision OF Prof. Brown made
horseback excursion Saturday
around the headwaters of Decker 8
creek. This region presents excel
lent advantages for the amateur &C.
oiogist, furnishing excellent sections

it has never been settled and per-
haps never will be. The beautiful
scenery and the horse back rides
were highly enjoyed by oil who were
fortunate enough to escape any col
lision with old mother earth.

man until the house was called to
order when it became apparent that

recognized that their task was hope
less SO they did not nominate their
man. j. F. Strader in forcible and
somewhat sarcastic speech nominal
ed Mr.. Dorsey who was chosen Pres
ident by small majority, Mr.. Babb's
friends not voting. The Parthenons
placed the name of Messrs j. Dud-
ding and James johnson in nomina-
