RESIDENT KERR
HAS GREAT WORK
O. A. G. GROWING FAST
EXPECT 400 THIS YEAR.
Is Director State Experiment Station
Which Does Work of Great Value
to Agricultural and Horticultural
Intcrcsts-School Has Grown Be
yond Accommodations, Making New
Buildings Now Imperative.

one of the most important positions
in the state is that held by President
w. ]. Kerr of the Oregon Agricultu"
raj college. who was here Saturday
and Sunday with the experiment sta
ton party. As president of o. A. c..
DR.. Kerr is the head of the largest
educational institution In the state
and in the opinion of many the most
important. The value of the expert
ment station work, which he directs,
cannot be overestimated
Though the courses at o. A. c. are
not as high, along literary and claS-
steal lines as those at the university
they are more practical. Aside from
supplying students with a general ed
ucation the courses also gives them
special training so that upon gradua-
ton students may commence actual
work in such lines as civil, electrical
and mechanical engineering. agricul'
ture. pharmacy, business and for nu-
merous positions in the government
service. especially with the depart
ment of agriculture.
In view of these things and the
large number OF students in the
school. President Kerr is virtually the
leader of those who in later years are
to constitute the industrial and busi-
ness life OF the state.
Last year the enrolment at o. A.
C. was slightly over 100. and this
year President Kerr Is expecting an
attendance of between 1900 and 400.
Should the attendance Increase at the
ratio It has been increasing during
the past few years the enrolment will
shortly reach the 1000 mark.
New Buildings Needed.
As a result of the great growth O,
A. c. has undergone the present
buildings have become inadequate and
the regents are now wondering how
to accommodate the throng. The
present administration building Is re-
garded as entirely too small and the
college chapel, where student assem-
blies should be held, is able to hold
only one-third of the students. Con-
seuuently assembly is held once each
week in the armory which has to be
fitted out with temporary seats each
time. The armory itself is large
enough only for one-third the cadet
regiment.
But while new buildings are imper-
ative and an appropriation Will be
asked of the legislature this winter.
President Kerr says that it will be the
policy of the school to be conserva-
tive in its requests. Accordingly II
will ask only for what is absolutely
essential and rely upon securing fur
ther appropriations in the future.
The Experimental Station.
The state experiment station is opt
Grated in conjunction with the college
by an experiment station board OF
which the president is director. Most
OF the science men in the faculty are
members of the board and aid in its
work. However, their salaries are
not paid from the experiment station
fund. An annual sum is paid by the
United states government for main
tanning the station, which does vast
amount of work. informing the farm
ers and orchardlsts concerning the
same by means Of bulletins.

The Docs of constantinople.

There are at least $50, 900 dogs il
ConstantinOple, which has a population
Of 100000. They are the vilest OF
towards and are the scavengers of the
city. 1t is said that scores of people
are bitten daily by the dogs of Con,
stantinople, but that a case of hydro,
phobia was never known there. Three
centuries ago Nassuf Pasha, grand
vizier to Achmet I'LL. transported all
the dogs to Asia and would have had
them destroyed there, but the sultan,
on consulting the mufti, was told that
every dog had a soul and consequently
forbade such wholesale destruction.
After the slaughter of the j~aniZaries
Mahmoud intended to get rid of them,
for he caused an immense number of
sausages O. to be made and, having
poisoned them, gave the dogs a feast.
Many thousands were thus killed in
n day, but the people murmured so
much that he was afraid to begin @
second days work. He therefore order.
ed them to be expelled to Asia, but the
order was very indifferently executed,
and in 4 short time the dogs were as
as during the time of the
j~aniZarieS.

The Dog MorIand Painted.

Of the many stories of the seemingly
unconscious heroism of Newfoundland
dogs none is more interesting than the
one concerning the noble dog which
Morland afterward painted.

exhausted bather to shore. Mr.. Phil

fume and finally poured the remainder
of the contents of the flask over his

traVagantly fond of clean linen and
during his campaigns had relays of it
sent to different places. In those days
it did not cost Il farm to have starched

a famous laundress in Paris, the en-
peror's linen for one wash amounted to

THE FOREHEAD.
What Its Size and Shape Are Said &c
Indicate.

Indicate.
A high forehead to be very good
should be well developed about the
eyebrows.
Breadth Of forehead is always favor
able. 1t is distinctly connected with
breadth of character.
A forehead that curves back reveals
a poetic temperament, a fondness for
the arts and u talent for either music
or painting.
OF course a broad forehead may be
part of a weak face, and Il weak chin
and mouth will naturally give a truer
impression Of character titan even a
combination of a narrow forehead
with an otherwise strong face.
If there is quite a perceptible bulge
of the eyebrows, combined with a high
forehead, the sign is of a calm, cool.
deliberate thinker.
If with these eyebrows is combined
a forehead that slopes gradually back,
a sensitive, poetic temperament is dis
closed. If, again, they are combined
with a short, narrow forehead, the
subject will be successful in business
and in everything connected with
worldly matters, but he will be in
capable of approaching to any extent
or of creating anything connected with
the arts.-New York American.
