single season by any stable. The
greatest amount won by single horse

taken eleven stakes and one overnight
event and brought home purses val
ued ut $129,3S2.

Mr.. Osgood's Instructions are to

propagation of the fox under arti-

the agricultural department Is to ul-

they can make good money out of the
fox industry. The return will come,
of course, from the fur.

notwithstanding the great value Of
the fur, no well regulated attempts

II confess I was greatly surprised
with the conditions of things at the
Weston Normal School," said Mr.. H.
]. Maier, who as a member of the
executive committee In company with
Messrs. e. Hofer. and r. r. Bragg.
visited Weston Wednesday to inspect
the buildings and general conditions
existing at the Eastern Oregon nor
NAL.
. Somehow Mr.. Maier had gained the
impression that the school was not in
good conditions and was greatly
pleased at what he saw. Each of
the visitors were delighted with the
location, the natural drainage, the
pure mountain air, good surround
ings socially and beautiful scenery.
There being no competing institution
of this class in Eastern Oregon, con-
stltutes Weston the best natural To-
cation in their mind, for a state
normal training institution.
Mr.. Maier said they found the
grounds and buildings, generally
speaking, in excellent condition con-
sidering that the school has been con-
Quoted there the past year. "In all
254 students. teachers. employees and
children in the training department
have occupied the school rooms and
dormitorIes and grounds the past
year and we were surprised to find
the premises in as good state Of re-
pair as they are in.
The campus is planted with many
beautiful trees, 154 shade and orna-
mental trees having been set out the
past year, all thriving. The grounds
are terraced and kept in green lawns
and are very creditable in appearance
for a state educational institution.
There is an amply supply Of pure
water with sufficient pressure for
fire protection, and the main college
building is provided with stand-pipe
and fire hose.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-07-27

The dormitories have water supply
with connection for garden hose In
case of fire. A slight addition was
made to the girls dormitory the past
year, providing one additional sleep
ing room and store room underneath
for vegetables and fruit. There is
urgent necessity for enlarging the
girls dormitory by adding at least
twonty sleeping rooms which would
relieve the present much congested
and very unsanitary condition."
The committee was cordially re-
ceived by President French, who
made most favorable impression on
them, according to Mr.. Maier, who
cannot say enough In his praise.

er of the black ones was red. But
the black foxes breed true; their
young are all black, and that is why
the biological survey hopes to estab-
lish black fox industry in. the agri-
cultural districts of the northern
states.
The enterprising secretary of agri-
culture also has another fur industry
on his mind. It worries him because
the people OF Michigan and other
northern states have been so careless
about the beaver. That very useful
fur-bearing animal has almost entire
ly disappeared, and the secretary Is
sure that, with little pains and with
reasonable good protection, beavers
could gain be made to thrive in the
northern streams. ::
The difficulties in the way Of the
beaver industry are not so great as
in the fox-farming or skunk-farm-
ing. About all that is necessary IS
that a pair of beavers should be
planted in stream and that they be
thoroughly protected.
