A REGULAR FEATURE.
The trip 20 Logan including visit
10 the State Agricultural college, has
boon a feature of each session Of the
legislature since the institution Of the
college iu 1854 During the early part
Of each session a day has been set
apart for visiting the college. and the
oregon short Line has always provided
the means OF transportation FOR the
biennial trip The people OF Logan have
invariably extended the hand Of well
come 90 the visiting solons on these oc-
casiOus. while the college, never sur
passed iu hospitality and capacity 20
entertain. has always had something
tu show the legislators and something
Co feed them on from its most excellent
department Of domestic science, by
which means the real needs of the
college are ascertained and a first class
foundation laid with the sages for the
inevitable but necessary "appropria-
ton for the support of the big college.
