FORTUNE FROM GoLCoNDA.
Claud Hart, Who Bought Stock and
Won Out.

Many people living in Baker City
and nearly every man woman or child
who lived and are living now in Sum
pter. remembers well the name of
Claud Hart. the satellite financier
who struck the upper camp about
three years ago and left inside of 12
short months with a bank account
that made the localities look envious-
ly in his direction, says the Baker City
Herald.
Claud was in Baker City last night
and wended his way toward Portland
this morning bearing with him the
remembrance of many a genial hand
clasp of old-time friends.
Claud was a dapper, well groomed
and good looking young fellow who
struck Sumpter about three years
ago. He put up at the hotels and be-
ga nto look around. He was always
well dressed and had but little to say
to strangers although quite congenial
to his friends, which, by the way soon
grew into the hundreds.
For year he worked in the upper
camp, soaking his hard earnings in
mining stock down to the last nickel
Some of his friends thought that he
was just little cracked, while the rest

NEW COURSE ADDED.
Oregon Agricultural College Gives
Students Fifth Year.

To all the science courses and to
lege, a fifth year was added by vote
OF the board of regents at the mid
winter meeting Wednesday, says the
Corvallis Times. The move is the
best days work done for the college
in years. The added year is optional
with the student, who can still grad
uate in four years if desired.
For the added year, however, new
degrees, attesting the more advanced
scholarship will be offered. The
move will keep one more year at the
institution many students who have
been going east and elsewhere, after
graduation, for more advanced work.
Three of last years graduates, for
instance, are now at Cornell, while
several others are in other institu-
tions, getting work the oregon state
college did not give.
Indeed, a humiliating fact Is, that
two former o. A. o. students are now
at Pullman, the state college of Wash
ington, having gone from the Oregon
to the Washington college where more
advanced work is available.
A still more potent reason for the
added year is in the preparation of
graduates. Much of the added year
In all courses is laboratory, or prac-
tical work. 1t puts students in the
mechanical, electrical, mining and
other courses, in far better form for
taking positions.
In consequence, when fifth year
graduates in the future shall take po-
sitions they will be able to reflect
more credit on the college, and Incl
dentally draw better salaries. The
Importance of this advanced work Is
recognized even by the graduates
themselves, in that so many of them
after graduation at o. A. o. seek other
institutions while still others come
back to o. A. o. for a postgraduate
course. Something like 20 graduates
are at the college this year, pursuing
postgraduate work.
The added year applies to the
mathematical, electrical, mechanical
mining, chemical and agricultural
courses. The new degrees to be con-
ferred will be civil engineer, electri-
cal engineer, mechanical engineer
mining engineer, chemical engineer
and agricultural engineer.
The student may, if desired, grad.
uate in the four year course with a
bachelor of science degree, and the
following year graduate in the engi'

MANAGE WHITMAN TEAM.
New Leader for Football Eleven is a
Popular Player.

The man who will manage the
football team of the Missionaries dur
ing the coming season has been Sc
lected by the executive committee of
the Associated Students of the college
by a unanimous choice, says the
Walla Walla Union. Arthur Morgan,
sub for two years on the eleven. and
one of the most popular members of
the Sophomore class, is the new man
ager who will look after affairs per-
tanning to the gridiron.
Morgan is already in communica-
ton with the leading colleges of the
northwest. and Whitman will In all
probability secure games with at least
six other big schools next fall. The
prestige established by last years
great eleven has spread far and wide
and the team will very probably make
the southern trip which the Farmers
took last season, into Oregon.
At the meeting the question of re-
visng the constitution was discussed
and will be decided at meeting of
the student body. George Woodward
was elected assistant treasurer, to
succeed Clarence Morrow, resigned.
