of Captain Nance was put on pedes-

ashamed and assured them that they

that they consider the stain the uni

their conduct. He assured them that
Sacramento would know of the dis

TWO TRAMPS HOLD UP
CREW OF FREIGHT TRAIN
Turn Tables on Railroad Hands Who
Had Prepared to Eject
Them

BERKELEY, Nov. 2.-The story of
two supposed tramps who turned out
to be train robbers is told here by

messenger, who has just returned
from his route in Oregon. He states

cedes the train he was on, was held
up by two men between Chico and
Biggs at o'clock yesterday morn
ing.
He says that two men were discov-
cred riding in a box car by a brake
man. The train was stopped and the
engineer and conductor started to put
the men off. When they were all to-
eether the tramps drew pistols and
held up the crew. While one man

Students in Rebellion
Over IOCk-Step.
Exciting Demonstration by Class
Under Captain J. I. Nance.
Abbeal TOR Order Is Fy1tatIeSS

word was passed along that a demon
stration of a spectacular sort against
Captain Nance and his odious oruer
would occur at the time set for the
first march Of the men into the class
room. A crowd gathered In anticipd-
ton of the demonstration ana Iuliy q
thousand spectators witnessed the az
fair.
At the time set for the entrance OF
the students to the building they were
a mob and not In military formation
The feeble attempts Of the monitors 10
preserve order went for nothing.
Juniors, sophomores and seniors IN
squads swept up and down the walk In
front of the building, pandemon1um
reigning.
CIods of dirt and punches of grass
went flying in all directions. Youths
with tin boilers beat them noisily.
There were vagrant yells that finally
settled down into a steady call OF
"Nancy-Nancy-we want Nancy!
At o'clock a band of students ap-
peared with a six-year-old boy In their
midst. The youngster was attired IN
military uniform, with q huge placard
on his chest Tabled, Captain Nance
A military cap was perched on his
baby curls. In his hands was scnool

brawny upper classmen the child was
perched. ringing the bell, while the
crowd cheered and howled its appre-
citation of the travesty upon Captain
Nance's alleged attempt TO put the
classmen under "schoolbOy discipline.
Captain Nance went promptly to his
classroom at 4 o'clock, but there was
no class to meet him. While he stood
quietly in the classroom. awaiting de-
velopments the faculty called upon
Professor w. A. Setchell, beloved In
structor, to address the mutinous stu
dents. Professor Setchell took his
stand in the center of the mob and
tried to make himself heard. but he
failed.
SETCHELL'S EFFORTS FAIL
IT thought there were some men in
this college," cried Professor Setchel,
''but I was mistaken. 1 consider that
you are towards, without a sense OF
honor, willing to disgrace yourselves
and your university. / see men here
whom I know and whom / grieve TO
behold in such a demonstration as
this. Be assured that there will be
more to this and that the end is not
in sight for you who are responsible
for this affair"
The appeal was an impassioned one,
but was not needed. Instead OF the
revered and dignified professor speak
ing, it might have been the wind sigh
ing along the caves of North Hall.
The men continued to jeer and hoot
and yell their contempt for Captain
Nance and his military order.
In front of Professor Setchell. not ten
feet distant, was again perched the
youngster with the bell, and the, boy
again rang it. to the crowds apparent
delight Not until the men were worn
out with their exertionS did they cease
and leave the spot.
Captain Nance refused to discuss the
matter until he had conferred with
President Wheeler.

Got the Coon.

A good story is being told in
the student circles on a certain
four cadets who went coon hunt
ing out near the headwaters of
Oak Creek, last week. As the
students were new at the business
they were accompanied by some
woodchoppers who acted as guides
and owned the coon dog. 1t was
late in the afternoon when they
started out, and it was not long
before the old dog struck the
familiar scent of fine, big coon.
The brave hunters only possessed
a couple of lanterns, and the
woodchoppers took possession of
these and lit out after the dog,
who was letting out a yelp at
every jump, hot on the coon's
trail. The "tenderfeet' were left
to follow the light, but as the ex-
citement of the chase increased,
they were soon forgotten, every
fellow being supposed to look
out for himself, and it was not
noticed when the unlucky
students were lost in the jungle.
But after the wary coon was
treed and killed, it was noticed
that the ''college fellers" were
not in it, and a couple of woods
men started out on a student
hunt, and the lost boys were not
located until 2 a. m, when they
were found, hopelessly lost and
delivered back to the college.
The would-be sportsmen think
they have enough of coon hunt
ing for this season.

A Great Industry.

There is much demand through
out tie country for good hop
land, and especially in Benton
and Polk counties. The past
two or three years of successful
hop growing has caused many
farmers to turn their attention
toward this great industry and
the result is that each year the
acreage of hops is increased cou-
siderably. This trend toward
hop growing has also beer the
cause OF raising the valuation of
land in hop growing sections, and
especially land that is suitable to
hop farming.
The latest estimate on the Ore
gon hop crop for 1904 is placed
at s., 900 bales. While this years
crop falls short of the 1903 pro-
duction, the revenue derived
from it exceeds that of last year
by more than $I,coo,ooo. The
price received in very few in
stances went above IS cents,
while this year almost the en-
tire crop of the safe sold for
prices ranging from rs to 32 cents
even the small amount that was
contracted brought from IS to IS
cents per pound.
Oregon produces more than
one-third of the entire hop yield
of the United States. Putting
the average price received fol
this years crop at rs cents per
pound, the income on this one
commodity will be close to

Dairy Course Arranged.

A special course in butter and
cheese making, and subjects
closely related to it, will open at
the OAC January 2o, 1905, and
close March 2, 1905. The build
ing of Agricultural Hall, and
the devotion Of part of the lower
floor to this particular branch OF
study, has made it possible fo1
the first time in its history for
OAC to give a special course
along this line. In this depart
ment there is everything in the
way of new machinery and appar-
aius that is required to fully and
comprehensively illustrate the
subjects taught.
This dairy course will be open
to all persons, male or female,
who are at least Is years of age
and have had a common school
education. The course is de-
signed to tamiliarize the students
with the modern forms of dairy
and teach the under
lying principles of the p1oduc-
ton, care and manufacture of
milk, butter and cheese.
There will be interesting and
instructive courses of lectures by
the following instructors of OAC:
DR.. James Withycombe on Feeds
and Feeding and Veterinary
Science; Prof. F. L. Kent on
Milk and its Products; Prof. E.
F. Pernot on. Dairy Bacteriology;
Prof. A. L. Knisely on Soil
Chemistry and Physics and
Chemistry of Dairy Products;
Prof. M. c. Philips on the Steam
Engine. Practical demonstra-
ton in dairy work, and all sub
jects connected with it will be
given by Prof. F. L. Kent and
w. J. Kent.
The only fees charged are a
deposit of IS to cover breakage
of glassware, etc., in the labora-
tory. Students will be required
to wear white suits while at
work. The cost of books will
not exceeu 81, and board and
room may be obtained in this
city at from IS to 81 per week.
This will be an exceptional
opportunity for farmers through
out the state to receive at little
cost instruction along the mod
ern methods of operating the
dairy department OF the farm,
aud it is thought a good number
will be in attendance.
For fulther information rela-
tive to the special dairy course,
address F. L. Kent, Corvallis,
Oregon.
