Prospects Bright.

With prospects that have never
been brighter or more prosperous
in the history of the institution
for a successful college year, Will
iamette University will open its
doors September 24th for regular
work, says the Oregonian. The
number on the roster of the uni
verslty last year was 567, while
present prospects show that there
will be an increase of not less than
rs per cent, so that it is certain
that there will be nearly 700 Stu
dents to uphold the homer of the
cardinal and gold" This in
crease is long step forward to-
ward the goal at which the uni
versity is aimine-1ooo students.
This year marks the Oath mile
stone that "Old Willamette'
has passed. The college of medi-
cine opens September 16, the
college of law September 80, the
college of theology October I, the
college of liberal arts September
"a. The college of music will
occupy its new home on the cam
pus and the old Lausanne Hall
will be used exclusively as a dor
mitory for girls.
All the chairs have been filled
for the year and show some new
faces. Professor Edwin Sher.
wood, of Ohio, will fill the chair
of Latin aid Greek. Professor
Sherwood is Ph. D. from Leip-
sic, Germany. c. o. Boyer sue
ceeds J. T. Matthews as dean of
the college of liberal arts, while
c. L. McNary fills the deanship
of the college of law, which was
vacated by John Reynolds upon
his going to Portland to continue
his law work.

He Explains 1t.

The Oregon Development
League recently requested W. K.
Newell, of Castor, president OF
the State Board OF Horticulture,
to answer the question, "Why
Oregon excels in fruit?" in 100
werds, says the Oregenian. Mr..
Newell replied that he could an
swer the question very easy in
several pages, but succeeded in
limiting his reply to the stipulated
100 words, as follows:
''O.egon excels in fruit because
her apples are the acknowledged
standard of The world, bringing
highest prices from the trade OF
New York, London, Paris and
Berlin. Her pears, cherries, dried
prunes ard straw berries have a
national reputation, unequaled
by the fruit of any other section
of the United States. Why

where he could watch the duck
when it entered. The bird came,
walked in and sat down on the
Hoor near the proprietor, where,
after short time, it arose and
left new white egg in its place.
Then the proprietor tied an old
paper on its back and started it
home
Tinsley found that this had
been going On for over a year
and the eggs that should have
been his were taken by another.
He filed suit in the Taney county
circuit court to recover the value
of 80 dozen duck eggs that he
claims should have been his.

Because nature has given her a

advantage OF these conditions.

BACK TO THE "GRlMD."
OF School Life-Teachers and Pu=
pills Prepare ior Opening.

The Corvallis public school
opens week from next Monday,
September 23rd, and the event is
looked forward to with as manv
different sensations as there are
pupils and teachers interested, to
say nothing of the parents who
are as much concerned as the
rest.
There are many mothers WHO
are glad when school opens and
the children are set to work for
another nine months. The sum-
mer, to many, is trying time,
as there seems to be nothing to
keep The hands and brains of the
little folks busy, and the result is
a restlessness that almost distracts
the parents. Children them
selves, as rule, enjoy school life
and are glad when 1t is time for
the new ''fall Clothes" new
looks and other school supplies.
Iuci'c tally, there will be
considerable item of expense for
Corvallis parents this month for
new books, as nearly all of those
formerly in use are to be discard
ed and new ores adopted. This
is IN accordance with the de-
mands of the State Text Book
Comrris ission, and while it is no
doubt for the benefit of the pu-
pills in general it will. in many
cases be quite burdel for the
pa ents to meet, especially if
there be several children in the
family to be supplied with the
late books.
Another interesting item al
ways in connection with the
ope ing of school is. who the
teachers are to be, and while the
G AIDES are not yet assigned the
complete list OF teachers has been
secured and is as follows:
A. N. Fulkerso1, principal;
Mrs. A. N. Fulke:ssn, primary;
Misses Lena Tartar, Olive NAL
low, Frances Belknap, Anna
Linfgren, Ada Finley, Kate
Tadlock, Josephine Fullerton,
Maud Mattley, Margaret Fowells
and Iva Stevenson OF Tangent.
The following list of books and
prices has been secured from c..
A. Gerhard for the benefit Of the
Gazette readers who will have to
meet the situation between now
and week from Monday, in or
der that their children may keep
step in the march OF educational
progress that is being taken up
throughout the land. The books
to be used in the common schools
of Oregon for the six years end
ing June, 1913, and the retail
price of each is as follows:

line of communication with civilza-

wants. Instead of one base, or two bases
at most, there would be base every
few miles, well garrisoned, we'll stocked,
excellently provided with men and
equipment of every conceivable sort to
be used On a moments notice. And
these bases would hold the country, after

the better part of them, would be
changed entirely, Sin the twinkling of an
eye
There would be no more clashes" for
the pole. "Dashes"-what a familiar
word in connection with polar explora-
ton! Do you know why explorers have
invariably dashed" for the pole? Be-
cause they have never had enough
money back of them to enable them to
go for the pole with that slow but sure
persistence that is all-conquering. The
word dash" itself suggests limitations.
The explorer is ever conscious of the
fact that he has just so much, or, more
properly speaking, just so little money
back of him. He knows that it will last
just certain prescribed period. And
so he establishes base-remember,
base-and one day he begins his "dash'
for the realization of his life's dream
against, yes, against the bitter cold and
the coming of the Arctic night, but,
above and beyond all, against the van
ishing of his little hoard of the thing
that talks everywhere in this world, even
close to the shadow of the icy pole itself,
Instead of the dash" there would be
plugging of the most prosaic sort.
With millions back of him, an explorer
would take an army of men into the far
north. He would provision and equip it
after the fashion of an army of soldiers
sent to the besiegement of strong cita-
del. There would be vigilantly kept open

Peary has again tried for the pole
and again failed.
Wellman, on Spitzbergen, waited IN
vain for favorable wind in which to
head his airship for the same glistenlng
goal.
Only few days ago, at an European
congress of Arctic explorers and de-
voices, two men announced their irten-
tons of starting soon for that eternally
frozen end of the earth.
Authorities on polar exploration say
that to-day there are scores of small ex-
peditions, heard of and followed only
by scientists, distributed about the Arc
tic circle, and nearly all buoyed up with
the hope of ultimately making, or point
ing the way to, the pole.
For four hundred years, nearly, man
has been lured into the pitiless depths
of the white north by this same hope.
For the past fifteen or twenty years
there has been among explorers what
may properly be termed Polar mania.
Peary, Wellman, Nansen, Andre, the
Duke of Abruzzi, Captain Sverdrup, An
thony Fiala-Americans, Englishmen,
Germans, Italians, Scandinavians, Rus
slams, Belgians, Frenchmen, Danes, and
Pearys negro, have set their faces
sternly and stoutly toward the pole
and failed to reach it.
Why?
Because, in brief, nature, in her cruel
est, most sterile mood, has set an inn
passable barrier between the children OF
men and the pole?
The poetic answer would be, Yes.
The prosaic, truthful answer is, Be-
cause no man who has gone for the pole
has been backed by sufficient money to
enable him to "naip' the flag of his coun-
try on it, metaphorically speaking.
To put it more bluntly, if man had
not been SO stingy with his money these
last four hundred years, the pole, in all
probability, would have been discovered
long ago.
So declare the leading polar authori-
ties-Peary, Nansen, the Abruzzis and
all the rest. And they have reason on
their side, however strange their bald
statement may seem to layman, taught
from childhood that it has been the cold
that has kept man from the pole since
the beginning of history.
But-suppose modern miracle were
to happen--a multi-millionaire were to
dedicate his entire fortune to the discov-
cry of the pole. Why, straightway the
whole method of polar exploration, as
practiced these several centuries past, or

ber of bases would grow in direct pro
portion to the total distance covered,
possibly faster.
AS besieging army creeps systemat,-
cally upon city, almost imperceptibly
at times, at other times finding it neces-
sary to bring up troops from the rear
or to send back for fresh munitions,
at still other times suffering temporary
setbacks, yet militant and confident OF
ultimate victory through it all, because
of strength and that open line of COM
munication, and an inexhaustble war
chest, so the expedition would creep
close to the pole. Then, and only then,
somewhat after the fashion Of besiegers
at last keyed up to the pitch of storm
ing city's gates because of very prox-
unity to them, there would probably be
a real dash" to-not for-the pole.
What a short dash" it would be, and
how pre-eminently successful! 1t would
simply be foot race on the part of the
vanguard to see who would be the first
to throw his arms lovingly around the
fearfully frigid thing.
In the same fashion the south pole
would be brought within the domains of
civilization.
Now, when you stop to think of it,
there is nothing preposterous in all this,
is there? Rather, is there not all rea-
son and all common sense in this that
the polar people say?
The unreason comes in in the way that
the average polar expedition has been
equipped and started out since the days
when man first begun to hunt the ends
of the earth.
In all that time only two expeditions
have sailed for the polar seas in ship
especially built for polar exploration.
One was Nansen's expedition; he went
in the "Fram." The other has recently
