Hon. J. X. Weatherford of Albany. |
president of the board of regents of
the oregon Agricultural college, and
Captain ]. T. Apperson, a prominent
member of the board of regents, were
in town yesterday and left in the eve
ming for Union, where they will visit
the branch experiment farm at that
place. Mrs. Weatherford also accom-
panied her husband on the trip.
The o. A c. has just finished the
most prosperous year it has ever had"
said Mr.. Weatherford to the East Ore
gonian yesterday afternoon. During
the past year there has been an en-
rollment of 700 in the school, and of
this number $40 have been taking the
regular courses.
There are now two battalions of
infantry, one battery, a signal corps,
a band and a troop of cavalry in the
military department, which is con-
ceded to be the best upon the coast
During the early part of the Lewis
and Clark fair the battalions will be
in encampment at the fair for a short
time"
As to the effect of the hold-up of
the appropriation bill upon the school,
Mr.. Weatherford stated that it would
have little effect, as practically all of
the revenue of the school is derived
from the federal government and
from the sale of public lands The
only thing given the school by the
legislature was an appropriation for
new girls dormitory.
However, with the branch expert
ment station at Union, which is under
the control of the regents of the
school, the effect of the hold-up is
liable to be disastrous. One of the
objects of the trip to Union is to see
what steps can be taken to keep the
station going during the next two
years The only plan so far is this
one proposed by Regent Walter
Pierce, to sell some of the livestock
of the station farm and thus have
money in bank before the 80 day
following the recent session are up
BY so doing it is thought that tn,
money so derived may be used TO
defraying the expenses of the station
during the next two years, and thu
prevent the loss of much valuable
work that is being done there.
Walter NJ. Pierce, who arrived las
evening from Spokane, left for Unioi
this morning to join the other regent
at the experiment station.

women, those who remained locked iD

the women penetrated to their cells
