Plan Great Things.

California is exerting berse1t
to entertain the Mystic Shriners
from Oregon who are now tour
ing the Golden State. A Los
Angeles dispatch says:
Typical of southern California,
in general for size and scope and
OF the generous hearted citizens
who will have the affair in
charge, fol- carefulness of detail
and unrivaled hospitality, the
ShriLers' program for Fiesta
week, as announced by poten-
tate Motley H. Flint of AL NAL
iakah Temple is varied and at
tractive in the extreme and if
the visiting mobiles are not sufh-
GENTLY entertained it will not be
tor lack of some place to go
where welcome is assured.
Catalina, Glendale, Holly
wood, Pasadena, Redondo, Long
Beach, Venice and the historic
Baldwin ranch at Arcadia have
all contributed their best toward
making the visit of the Shr,ners
a success. Each of the cities
and resorts mentioned have ap-
pointed com mittees and sub
committees to take the matter in
hand and attend to the recep-
ton of their guests and every one
will try and outdo the other in
offering the best, both of enter
tainment and hospitality.

About DR.. Kerr.

The selection OF new presi-
dent for OAC is a matter of state
interest and various papers offer
comment on the election of DR..
Kerr. The Oregonian says edi-
toriallv:
The board of regents of the
State Agricultural College has
chosen DIR. w. J. Kerr as presi-
dent of that institution. The
credentials of DR.. Kerr attest
that he is graduate of Cornell
University, that he has been a
college president for thirteen
years, that he is a practical aud
scientific farmer, and that he has
conducted with signal success the
State Agricultural College Of
Utah, the presidency of which
he wi resign to take the Oregon
position. .he board has deliber-
ated long and earnestly over the
selection of a successor to Presi-
dent Catch, whose resignation
will take effect at the annual
meeting June II. There was
but one object in view-tbat of
securing tue man, all things con-
sidered, who was the best quail
fed for the position. This the
board believes has been done.
The entire state will join in a
welcome to DR.. Kerr, and pre-
cede it with tie hope that he
may p,ove the right man in the
right place.

TONlGRT'S the NIGHT.
To See Murray & Mack at the
Opera House.

The real theatrical treat of the
season will be seen at the opera
house tonight, when the famous
Irish comedians Murray & Mack
will present their musical CON-
edy "Around tn Town. This
is to be the largest production
that has been in Corvallis for
wears, and the management posi-
lively guarantees the perform
ance equal 10 the best.
While the prices may seem a
trifle high to some patrons, yet it
must be remembered that it is
only once in long time that a
production of this kind visits our
city, and the prices must be ad-
vanced in order to meet ex-
penses. The company carries a
chorus of thirty girls who will
render bright and catchy music,
and appear in costumes that will
eclipse anything ever seen on
the local stage. A full orchestra
will assist in all musical num-
bers.

MAY NOT COACH.
At u. of O.-Bezdek Will Have
Influence on Team.

1t has not been determined vet
whether Physical Director Beg
dek will coach next years foot
ball team at the university OF
whether other arrangements vii
be made, says the Guard. A
committee has been appointed to
look alter that, but no decision
has been reached or made public.
Hugo Bezdek put out last fall
pro o>ablv the best team that ever
represented the university. OF
course all was not due to him,
for the material was extraordi.
nary, but nevertheless a great
deal was due to his experience.
Next year, wherever he coaches
whether here or any other place
he will be a much better man
for besides added skill in matter
concerning football directly, he
will understand imparting his
knowledge and handling his men
FAR more successfully.
For this reason there may be
some doubt about Bezdek con-
senting to remain here unless the
athletic council should grant
whatever he desires. Bezdek
says he would like to stay with
Oregon, for he likes the men.
The western man is different
from the eastern man, and he ap-
pears to have eLjoyed his first
years work.
Besides coaching football, Bez-
dek has shown himself to be a
good basketball and baseball
Goa h, and has put out good
teams, considering the material.
The action of the athletic coun-
Gil will be watched with great in
terest, for the choice concern
the making of the football team
and its quality very materially.

sage from there says:
''More than I, 900 men are idle

result of the strike inaugurated
OF union molders. They have
been paid as high as So. so per
day of nine hours but demand
the 8-hour day. The employ
