O. O.A.C. SHORT COURSE
WILL BE BETTER

The winter short course at the Ore
gon Agricultural College, which COM
meneed Jan. 4, is in every way better
than it was last year. The enrolment
now numbers almost 225, not including
students registered in the regular
courses, which is about so more than
the registration at this time last year.
The courses of instruction are better
than last year. and they include several
distinctly new features.
The principal object of the winter
short course is to provide, in the most
compact and practical way, the largest
amount of information and training in
scientific agriculture that four weeks
at a completely equipped agricultural
college can afford, at season Of the
year when the farmer can best spare
the time from actual farm work. Ii is
the purpose of the college to take this
as one of the means Of enriching and
improving rural life, by pointing out
resources not yet utilized or enjoyed.
Instruction is offered in all branches
of agriculture including horticulture,
agronomy, dairy husbandry, animal
husbsndry, veterinary science, zoology,
bacteriology, entomology and poultry
husbandry. The course in home eco
Monies, including the branches of do
mestic science and domestic art, is
proving very popular. Although the
registration is mostly over, yet there
are few new students added to the
list every day.

Program at N. A. Fair

Prescott, Arizona, september 1, 1915: The purses hung up for the Northean Arizona Fair races, which will be held in connection with the Northern Arizona Far, at Prescott, October 21-22-23, are absolutely the largest prizes of fered for any like meet in Ari- zona or New Mexico for 1915. Races from quarter of a mlle to five-eights miles will be nun daily. thus giving all horses an equal chance at the money. As in all big meets. there is no en- trance fee for any of the events, but five per cent will be deduct ed from the winners. Purses are divided sixty per cent, first; for ty per cent, second, and fifteen per cent third, No purse in the running races will be under $125. Two consolation races on the last day of the Fair make it possible for every entrant to get under the ropes with some money. A good many outside horsemen will be seen on the track as $25OO is hung up in purses.
 In all departments the ex- hibits are coming along nicely. The live stock department will be under the supervision of E. w. Stephens, deputy assessor of Yavapai county. MT. Sthphens knows practically every stock man in Northern Arizona and will bend all his energy towards securing exhibits that will be of interest to visitors to the Fair and of value to those who have been breeding up their herds by the importation of high grade
  animals.
 No section of the 1914 Fair aroused more interest last year than the Mining Department. This years exhibit promisesto be far superior in variety and ex- cellence to that of 1914. The ex- hibits will have a double value. They will help the citizens of Northern Arizona to a realiza- ton of what the mines of this vast domain mean and they will serve to impress the many strangers and visitors to our Fair with the importance of the min eral wealth of Northern Arizona.
 The Agricultural Department bids fair to be larger than that or previous years. Exhibits are assured from the counties of the North and as substantial prizes are offered in all departments, baled hay, threshed grains and seeds, sheaf grains and, grasses, vegetables and root fruits.
 Among the amusement fea- lures offered will be thrilling aerial stunts. diving ponies. open air dancing, band concerts, car niyals and a score of other Reduced rates will be in effect from all points.

Dallas, Tex, Aug. 1S.-Two or three
lives have been lost in Houston as the

was estimated at S5,OOO,OOO there
Tuesday night according to dispatches
from Temple, Tex. Wireless messages
from Galveston gave the only direct
news from that storm-stricken city.
No definite news of loss of life has
been reported, but the desperate stu
alton in which citizens of Galveston
found themselves was indicated vague
ly in wireless message that boats
were taking people from buildings on
the main street to the u. S. transport
Buford.
The tropical hurricane which swept
down upon the island city Monday ex-
tended its devastation inland yester-
day and last night wire communica-
ton was impossible beyond Waco.
Beaumont, Houston. Taylor, Temple,
and other cities of southeast Texas
were hard hit by the storm, last re-
ports from those places telling Of un-
rooted buildings, uprooted trees and
other damage.
Although latest reports from Gal
weston by wireless indicated that the
storm was subsiding there and that
the water had started to drain slowly
from the streets, there was no pros
pect that telegraph communication
might be restored for several days.
Hundreds of miles of wires are down.
The army transport Buford's wire
less outfit was the sole means of COM
munication between Galveston and the
outside world. Her companion ship

a mile inland.

hurricane was felt on the island, oc-
