James Booth came out from New
port, Friday, and returned yeste :
day. He states that the houses
over at the bay city are filling re-
markably fast for this time of the
year, and there is promise of an ex-
traordinary season, to judge from
present indications.
Prof. J. B. Horner lectured at
the Baptist church in McMinnville,
Saturday night, to large and en-
thusiastic audience. His lecture on
the Holy Land has already brought
him renown, and he has received
very fattering press notices
throughout the state.
The walnut fever has apparently
taken good grip on this section of
Oregon, as walnut meetings. are
reported in various towns through
out the valley. Oregon can pro-
duce anything on earth that is d.
sired, 1t would seem, and the cul-
ture of walnuts will be just another
credit mark to the state.
Albany Herald editorial: It is to
be hoped the Board of Regents
made no mistake in the selection of
a new president for the State Agri-
cultural College. DR.. w. J. Kerr
has the recommendation of being
the president of the agricultural
college of Utah and he has natio, =
al reputation as scientist. The
state of Oregon has just made
liberal appropriation for it's Agri-
cultural College, and instructors
are paid by the general govern
ment. There should now be moth
ing in the way of Oregon's Ag-i-
cultural College taking a place in
the front rank among the best COL
leges Of its kind in the union.
Dan Kelly and Gordon Moores of
the ,arsity track team ale handi-
capped by injuries which may keep
them out of the meet with Pullman
on May 17th. Dan Kelly has a
sprained muscle in his ankle and
Mcores has ruptured muscle in
bis leg. While neither man is af-
fscted seriously, the injuries may
keep them out of the contest as
Hayward does not believe in tax
ing any chances in the first meet of
the season especially if it can be
won without the help Of either of
these men. While the Pullman
team is not a very strong team
compared with Oregon, with these
two men out Of their events it is
strong enough to win. After two
weeks if the men improve Hayward
may decide to run them in the
Pullman contest. But any acct
dent iii the Pultu,an event with the
men in this condition would hurt
their WORK Tor the remainder of the
season. .--Register-
J. Teu2cher, travelling agent for
the Boys and Girls Aid Society O.
Portland, was a Corvallis visitor,
Friday. He paid visit while here
to all the homes where children
have been taken from the boys and
girls Aid for adop ion, and in all
save one or two cases found the
little ones w-li cared for. In the
exceptional cases the children are
being kept out of school because
their labor is wanted at home, and
as school privileges are one of the
first requirements exscted by the
Aid Society, Mr.. Teuscher will
recon mend the withdrawal of one
little girl from the home where she
is located. In the other cases mat
ters will be satisfactorily adjusted
and the children will receive the
privileges due them. This work at
the Boys and Girls home is a
worthy one and should be heartily
supported by every citizen of the
state.
