The June number of the College
Barometer reached our desk a few
days ago. This is the last number

an appearance as it ever did, and
this is praise sufficient. 1t con.
tains considerable well-written mat
ter that is of public interest and is
credit to all who are connected
with its publication, from editor-in-

few months many people will miss
this popular journal, as it takes
vacation until the doors of the
o A c are again opened to the stu

"Dilley. the fxer," and his assist
ant started out Saturday evening
for the Santiam, where they fished
during Sunday. They had fair
success, but if "the fixer" had sue.
ceeded in landing the fish he lost,
we could all have eaten of it. !
The struggle between Mr.. Dilly |
and the fish was long and fierce and |
was considered draw. After all
was over the fish lay on the top of
the water and took his breath, while
Dilly sat on the bank and watched
him. Have "the fixer" relate the
story with all attention to circum-
stance and detail and you will have
heard the best fish story of the sea-
son. |
