member of the club to hunt on their
premises, and they are not to be blamed
for their action. The farmers feed the
birds during the entire year and IN
many cases they infict considerable
damage to gardens, etc. If the farmer
chances to kill one, out of season, even
on his own ground, during ten months
of the year, he is arrested and fined.
During the two months of open season,
hunters from the cities swarm cut onto
the farmer like unto old men at variety
theater, tear down his fences. leave the
gates open and raise thunder generally.
We do not imply that members OF the
rod and gun club do all this damage,
but it is done by people from the towns
and it is indisputable fact that "true
sportsmen, as they term themselves, go
out from Portland, Salem, Albany 1--WE
didn't say Jefferson), and slaughter
large numbers of these birds, far In ex-
cess of the limit set by law. During
these two months the farmer is mighty
good sort of a chap, lbecause it is neces-
sary to hunt on his land; after that
"Cinch him, doggone him; he's violat-
ing the 1awl" Is it any wonder he has
at last registered a big kick?

College Notes.

The college band of this year will be
strong organization, in numbers at least.
The band consists of twenty pieces at
present and there are chances of others
coming in at a later date. The band re-
ceives an hours practice each day, and
by the time few months have elapsed
the college should be able to lay claim to
as good band as there is in the state.
At meeting of the band a few days ago,
T. Edward Palmer was elected leader
and Ivan Daniels, drum major, the cleo
tion being ratified by the president and
commandant.
r. D. Burgess, Arthur Frazier and
Glen Winslow, members of the Jeffer-
sonian society, have returned to school
to resume work in the senior class.
Carle Abrams, one of the OAC's Ore
gon volunteers. accompanied by his
brother, returned last Saturday to re-
sumo his work as student after serving
q glorious campaign in the Philippines.
The Junior class held meeting last
Wednesday and elected the following
class officers: President S. d. Herbert;
vice president, Robt. Withycombe; Sec
retary, Miss Mabel Jones; treasurer,
Miss Edna Garrow.
The water supply of the college build
ings and dormitories will soon be drawn
from metal tank to be placed on the
new SO-foot steel tower, which has just
been erected over the big well near the
power house. The old tower and tank
are to be removed and the temporary
torn away. A small neatly
finished building will cover the pumping
and this portion of the college
grounds will be one of the most attrac-
i've of those comprising the property.

Schedule of The Games arranged. Sever
Veterans With OAc.
Out at the o. A. G.. the football boys
are training hard and diligently with the
end in view of bringing home once more
the much coveted silver cup which is
most proudly held by the champions of
Oregon.
Several of the veterans of two years
ago will appear on the OAC field again
this year to wrestle with the pigskin on
the gridiron field and share in the victor
les and defeats of the orange.
There are new men in attendance-big
brawny fellows, who have breathed the
pure air of Oregon all their lives, who
have been hardened and tanned by many
years OF service on the Oregon farm and
who are well prepared to meet the most
stubborn opposition, when strength and
muscle are the principal features.
If patience and perseverance are essen
tials to success then there are excellent
chances for the OAC carrying away the
football glories of the coming season.
At the meeting of the delegates from
the Western Oregon colleges held at Sa-
lem Saturday, F. G. Walters, of the OAC,
was elected president, and G. M. Bishop,
of the u of o, secretary. Delegates
from the U of o, OAC, Pacific University
of Forest Grove, Willamette University
of Salem, and Albany College were rep
resented.
The membership fee was placed at $40
and a $40 penant voted. The schedule
of games was arranged as follows with
the places to be chosen hereafter:
November 11th-Willamette Univer-
sity VS. Pacific University; Albany Col
lege VS. Oregon Agricultural College.
November 1Sth-Game to be played

REACHED 800

Today clio ses the second week of school
at the college and as was expected the 800
enrolment mark has been reached and
passed, there being 3l7 names, repres-
enting that many students, registered in
the deans Office today, and that number
of young people have begun their college
work in earnest.
Excepting probably one or two, all of
the counties of the state are represented,
and there are few from the neighbor.
ing states, which is most striking proof
that the excellent advantages the college
offers are widespread in their scope and
universally known.
As usual the freshman class is large.
Larger in fact than eve- before, and had,
all the old students returned the attend
ance at our agricultural college this year
would have been something remarkable.
The students who have come this year
for the first time are bright appearing
body and seem well pleased and per-
fectly contented with their new surround
ings. In truth it Is the combined effort
of all those connected with the college to-
make the environments of the college as
much like a home as possible, SO that the
new student does not feel that he has left
a happy and peaceful home to enter q
place of confinement and punishment,
but on the other hand he feels that he
has left one home to enter another. As
the president has remarked in chapel
the OAC is a large family in which all its
members are children and are alike in
terested in the peace of all. That the
OAC is large family and happy one,
can be most easily seen by visiting the
college and watching the students and
professors in their work. There is not a
hitch or jar but all runs smoothly and
perfectly.
