PRESIDENT OF STUDENTS
WORKS WAY THROUGH

University of Oregon.-The college
career of Leon Ray, president of the
Associated students of the University
of Oregon, and a prominent debater
and orator, is a striking example of
the success that can be attained in
the University of oregon by students
that are dependent entirely on their
own resources. When entering
college as a freshman, Mr.. Ray invest
ed his savings to the extent of 800
in lot not far from the campus. The
balance of the cost of the lot was
$125. The payment of this sum he
made on the beginning of his sopho-
more and junior years from money he
had earned during the preceding
summer vacations The property has
doubled in value during the three
years that Mr.. Ray has owned it and
in the meantime has afforded a loca-
tion for the small seventy dollar
bungalow which he built with his own
hands during the early fall of his
freshman year and in which he has
lived since.
Young Ray. during te first year of
his experiment, kept an accurate ac-
count of his bachelor household ex-
penses and found them to average six
dollars and a half per month. BY
working hard each summer and
picking up odd jobs during the win
ter Ray has earned his way up to
the entrance of his senior year with
out going into debt 1t took all OF
his last summers wages, however, to
pay the debts which he was forced
to make during the last winter, and
accordingly he will have to do some
borrowing during this school year
However, his lot, when sold, will more
than offset his Indebtedness.
A large number of the most prom
inent students are working their way
through college.

CAPTAIN SEES SEA SERPENT.

New York THE most wonderful
sea serpent in the world came into
port-on paper.
1t was sighted in the Indian ocean
by Captain Tallakser OF the Norwe-
gian bark Aim, who made a drawing
of it in the presence of witnesses and
duly entered it in the log and added
thereto the signatures of his first and
second mates.
The Aim, laden with coffee from
Java, left Batavia on March %. All
went well until March 81, when the
lookout sighted the "sea serpent"
Its body was round and its head
square and it had two big eyes and
four wings" says the skipper.
Its eyes Were two feet in circum-
ference and its body about "a feet
across. The wings were six feet long
and it used them to swim and not to
fly.
"On the back of the monster were
seated two of its young They seem

HEAVY TOLLS DEMANDED
THROUGH PANAMA CANAL

Houston, Tex.-Although four
years will pass before the Panama
canal will be opened for traffic. the
matter of tolls is already being dis
cussed by railroad men and others
interested in transportation. Many
local railroad men believe that the
long and short haul decisions by the
interstate commerce commission will
cause the railroads at an early date
to commence to agitate legislation
imposing heavy tolls on all vessels
passing through the new gate. The
decision of the commission will have
more far reaching results, it is de-
clared, than was at first supposed
1t is known that the steamship lines
Will fight the efforts of the railroads
to legislate for tolls and a royal bat
tie will be fought out in congress.
One of the interesting features OF
the coming scrap is the fact that the
roads will take sides. The transcon-
tinental lines will contend that tolls
should be eXacted from all ships pass
ing through the canal, while the
lines with gulf ports and other lines
running north and south, will cast
their influence on the side of the
steamship companies. 1t is generally
known that many of the roads with
gulf ports are already considering the
organization of steamship lines from
Texas and other gulf ports to the Pa
cific. They, of course, will contend
that no tolls should be charged foi
the passage of ships through the ca,
nal
This will bring on another scrar
and the roads running north ant
south will enter into rate war Will

equal division of the business between
the Pacific coast and the interior.
