Monday.

The sixth year of work at Dallas
College will begin Monday, September
%, at 10 a. ~, with informal exercises
In the college chapel. President G. @.
Polling will be present to preside at
the meeting. He will present some of
the views one gets Of the work of the
college at long range, and will tell of
what may be expected from the friends
OF the school in the eastern states.
Prof. G. A. Mock, the new member
Of the faculty, who will have charge
OF the department of ancient languages
and literature, will make his first
appearance before a Dallas audience
at this time and will address the
students.
The other members of the faculty
for 1905-6 will all be on hand and
ready for any service that may make
the most of the work for the school
during the coming year. With the
return of DR.. Polling and the advent
of DR.. Mock, Dallas College will enter
upon its next years session with an
exceptionally strong corps of in
structors, which assures a year OF
most effectual school work.
The student body will also be
strengthened by the coming of some
exceptionally promising young people.
This gives assurance Of strong public
work in the literary societies, the
athletic field and the christian asso-
Citations, as we'll as in other school
enterprises.
1t takes strong student body, as
we'll as a strong faculty, to make a
strong school, From present indica-
tions, it appears that this happy com
bination will be reached and that the
coming year will by many odds be
the greatest in the history of the
institution.
All are invited to be present at the
opening exercises. Come and enjoy
the hour and lend your encouraging
presence to boost this good work
along.

Editor OF Prominent Chicago Medical
Journal Gives Few Impressions
of Oregon.

DR.. Arthur Butler sends us a copy
of the Alkaloidal Clinic containing a
graphic description Of the editors
recent visit to Portland and the Lewis
and Clark Fair The Alkaloidal
Clinic is one of the leading medical
publications of America, and the
opinions of it's editor are worth while.
He says;
"The meeting of the American Med
ical Association at Portland will rank
as one of the most successful in the
history of the Association. The Lewis
and Clark Exposition, the professional
attractions and the glorious climate
of the Northwest combined induce
ments the doctor could not resist; and
long before the meeting closed the
registration had climbed up over
1,6OO-and the doctor brought his wife
along too. For the delightful excur-
sion up the river more than 5000
guests showed up. The entertainments
were lavish and unique beyond any
thing in the history of the Association.
Never has the A. NJ. A. been so enter
tained; never has a local profession
done anything which can be compared
with that which was accomplished by
the doctors of Portland.
'The climate of Portland must be
near perfection, if not specially
arranged for our visit. Even in July
a light overcoat was agreeable in the
evenings, while it is said that frosts
are rare in winter and an inch OF
snow is the limit. Flowers bloom out
side. the year round, in this Rose
City, the roses being gorgeous during
our visit, though said to be at their
best a month earlier. But the hydran-
geas, honeysuckles, sweet peas and
MANY other beauties made every
home enticing. We luxuriated IN
enormous cherries, and in Cracked
crabs" of which one made a full
meal-delicious as was the Royal
Chinook salmon. The oysters were
fine also, despite the month being
without an r.
oThe Exposition was not extensive
compared with those Of Chicago and
| ST, Louis, but good, and especially
attractive as to the displays made by
Oregon, Washington, California
Montana, Idaho and Utah IN mining
agriculture and education"

Board of Regents Meeting.

Aberdeen News: The board OF he.
gents held a very Important meeting
today at The normal s.hool. AT
the morning session the board de.
cided to postpone the adoption of the
courses OF study until next Wednes.
day. On that day the members of the
board will hold a conference at Sioux
Falls with presidents OF the state
normal schools at which the courses
OF study for the different institutions
will be adopted. a member Of the
board said today that this did not
mean that all the courses at the ev-
eral institutions would be uniform,
but that the standard Of work would
be made the same at all the insti-
buttons. A change in the course OF
study Is made necessary by the act of
the legislature which set the require
ments OF the state and private insti-
tuition on a much higher plane. The
standard OF work to be done in the
future in South Dakota normal
schools will henceforth be second to
none in the country. 1t is understood
that the curse OF study as drawn up
by President Nash of the normal
school and members of the faculty
meets with the approval of the re-
gents and will be accepted with very
few notifications.
This morning the regents inspected
the new w5rkshop building thor
oughly. a member Of the board said
this morning that the building would
undoubtedly be accepted at the after
session. The matter of buying
the equipment for the workshop was
also to come before the board this
afternoon and the understanding was
that ths board was to vote the sum
OF $4,000 for the purchase of the
necessary machines.

GOOD WORDS FOR PALACE
Mitchell People are Hospitable and
the Corn Palace is Great Ad-
vertiser of State.
vertiser of State

Miller Gazette: One OF the great
est advertisers that the state ever
had, was the Corn Palace at Mitchell
this year. Nothing ever before was
undertaken by any town on so large
proportions. To understand or get an
idea OF It's greatness it must be seen.
Such a mammoth auditorium being
venereed with corn aud so ar~tistical-
ly arranged it was admired by all
who saw it.
1t must be admitted by the most
learned connoisseur that nothing
could be added to enhance its beauty.
The interior was equally arranged,
with fine and dainty artistic skill.
The exhibits of the different coun-
ties we're nicely arranged so that
they blended we'll with the work of
the palace artist. The music vas fine
and of the highest class. The resur-
rection seem was fine and a nice
study. The Mitchell people nave
shown themselves to be progressive
people, although defeated in the cap
ital contest, there is not a scar to be
seen nor any animositY to any part
OF the state or its people, visible.
Such a spirit is born Of noble charac-
tiers. The influence OF such will
always be for good. People from
many states we're present and appar-
emily amazed when looking upon the
palace and its beautiful exhibits.
South Dakota car nc longer be look
ed upon by her sister states as a
dwarf in the gallery Of the states of
our nation, but Is one that is able to
care for itself and add much to the
support of u nations needs with a
fair prospect of becoming the shining
consolidate. There were SIX thousand
people 10 the auditorium on Wednes-
day and thousands on the streets.
The attractions were many and Of
The highest order. Nothing was al
lowed to appear that had for its OBJ
Iect, graft. Mitchell has done much
% put South Dakota on an equal ele-
with other states. The mouth
september with the arduous lahors
the people Of Huron to arrange
or the state fair and the activity of
,he Mitchell people with the Corn
Palace, is a month in which there
been more achieved for a rapid
development than any previous
month in its history.
