their most killing pace. They only

some damage. The spin they took

visedly, well knowing thata "deal'

Prof. A. 8. Hitchaoek, Assistant
Agrostolegist of the Department of
Agriculture, is visiting the agricul.
tural colleges and looking into the
60 operative work of the Oregon and
Washington colleges. He said the
work being done By the Oregon Ag-
rieultural College at Gearhart IS
very satisfactory. They are grow
ing sandbinding grasses for the pur-
pose Of reclaiming the sand dunes
to prevent their shifting. The
work at Gearhart, which was So
highly eomplimented by Prof.
Hitchcock, was done under the di-
rection of DR.. Withyeombe, of the
Oregon Agricultural College at Cor

R. M. Kramer, the getleman who
recently purchased the carriage fac
tory In this city, is undoubtedly a
hustler. A few weeks ago he went
to Sethern Oregon AID disposed of
a humber of phaetens and several
organs. He is closing out the ve-
hicles ia the establishment prepara-
tory to convsrting the plant into an
ergan faetery. Last Friday Mr..
Kramer left for Southern Oregon
again. He took farm wagon and
trailed five light vehicles behind it,
making train almost ike a train
of ears. The gentleman evidently
has the qualifications of a good bus
mess man and beyond doubt will
make the Corvallis Organ Factory
successful from a financial point Of
view as well as from an artistic
standpoint.
