FERENCE IN PORTLAND

Portland, Oregon, Dec. S.-The
University of Oregon, its present and
future, will be the subject of discus
sion at a meeting of the Oregon Civic
League which will ,be held at the
Multnomah Hotel Saturday of this
week The recent survey of the Uni
versity by the United States Bureau
of Education will be analyzed and
the question whether its recommen-
dations can be put into immediate eff
feet in Oregon will be taken up.
President p l.. Campbell will eX-
plain the purposes of the University
authorities in requesting a survey of
the institution and set forth the con-
clusions and recommendation of the
survey in their wider aspects. Then
Hon. w. X Newell of the Board of
Regents will precipitate the discus
sion by an address on "a Board Of
Regents in Relation to the Public on
One hand and the Inner Work of
the University on. the Other"
Mrs. George 7. Gerlinger, of Dali
las, the only woman regent, will take
up the problem from the woman S
point of view.
DR.. George Rebec, professor of phi
losophy, viii present the case from
the position of the faculty, and Mrs.
Alice Benson Beach will take up
1.-The Alumni's Stake in the Institu-
tion."
DR.. S. p. Capen, on behalf of the
government, recommended that Ore
gon should undertake to be the pion-
eer state of the Union In effecting
certain reforms in university govern
ment, which are at present under dis
cussion in all higher institutions but
which have as yet never been actual
ly tried. He expressed the belief that
the University of Oregon, on account
of the openmindednes of the people
of the state and their freedom from
undue reverence for precedent, is in
q position to demonstrate the desir-
ability and success of a reorganiza-
tion along the lines of the best mod
ern thought on the subject.

Is YEARS AGO IN HEPPNER

From Heppner Gazette, Dec. Il, 1890
A. j. Hamilton, of Hamilton,
passed through Heppner on Thurs
day last. He had just returned from
Portland where he had taken a large
band of sheep to fill an order He re-
ports the market good for mutton
sheep.
The shoe factory at North Dalles
will probably add tannery.
]. A. Woolery, one of Hardman S
leading merchants, called at the Ga
zette office on Saturday last. He re-
ports everything looking we'll in his
section of the county.
Charley Jayne was down to their
Ella ranch last week, and wes told
by reliable parties that quite num-
Der of horses were recently stolen in
Umatilla county, near Echo. There
is undoubtedly an organized band of
horse thieves in this section.
Miss Winters, the school teacher at
Hardman, was unable to control the
boys in her school, so the directors
engaged l.. w. Lewis to assist her.
He took a good sized whip with him
and knocked out four of the largest
lads the first day. These fellows
were the ring leaders and he succeed
ed in establishing order in the school.
The gymnasium club have elected
the following officers: president,
Frank MILESTONE; vice president,
Geo. Noble; secretary, Bennie Pat
erson; treasurer, Emry Leezer; mar
shall, Ed Stevens; janitor, John Mas
terson. The boys mend to put up a
hall with the necessary apparatus
This will be a good thing, as our
young men will have a place to &c
to spend the long winter evenings
Give them all the encouragement you
can, and help the club along. A read
ing room should be organized in con
nection.

.0R|OlES NEXT MUM.
BER At HIGH SCHOOL

The third number on the lyceum
course will be presented at the high
school auditorium next Monday, De-
cember 13, by the Orioles, eXper
fenced musical entertainers.
Inasmuch as the lyceum of today
demands something more than the
musical and artistic company, the
orioles have been brought together
because they possess those qualities
of character and personality. 1t is
the character and personality of its
members with which the lyceum Of
today must appeal to its audiences.
The Misses Ethel Boyd, Orah
Hardness and Madge Becker com
pose the membership making up the
Oriole company. Miss Ethel Boyd is
one of the we'll known sopranos of
Los Angeles, and her work before the
Badger Club of that city and at Ho
tel Maryland, Pasadena will long be
remembered for its fineness of exc
cution and brilliancy of rendition.
Her voice of unusual sweetness, COM
bined with ample volume is remark
able for its brilliancy and dramatic
qualities.
Miss Harkness, like the other
members of the "Orioles" is an eX-
perienced artist. She carries her au
dience with her emotibnally and
holds their closest attention as she
vividly portrays the characters of her
readings and recitals. Miss Hark-
ness is a graduate of the Columbia
College of Expression, and it was the
president of this institution that
wrote of Miss Harkness: "She has
pleasing personality and good
stage presence. Her audiences may
confidently anticipate an entertain
ment at once uplifting and inspir
ing"
Miss Becker possesses a matchless
whistle of exquisite sweetness and
bird-like quality. These, coupled
with a magnetic and winning per-
sonality, combine to make her one of
the most artistic and pleasing whis-
tiers of the present day. Her tones,
rich, full and liquid, possess also
systematic tenderness, brilliancy and
power. She enters into the spirit of
her selections with fervor and that
keen understanding which belongs
by nature only to the great artists.
Her limitations of the bird notes and
bird songs are exceptionally accurate
and defy the little songsters them
selves.
The program will begin at s o.
clock, and for the benefit of those
who have not purchased season tick
cts, we have been asked to announce
that the admission price will be
fifty and thirty-ive cents.

A post-election row in Pendleton
last Monday night resulted in near
riot, and the police were forced to
hold the crowds back with guns. Ac-
cording to reports that have reached
this city, the crowds surged through
the streets until past midnight and
the first disturbance occurred in
front of the Bowman hotel polling
place. During the course of the dis
turbance an officer was compelled to
draw his gun in order to disperse the
crowd. Considerable feeling was
wrought over the recent mayoralty
contest between DR.. j. A. Best, the
victorious candidate, and John Mont
gomery.

FARMERS WEEK
At O.A.C. JAN. 3

The 2106 students who attended
last years Farmers and Conference
Week at the Oregon Agricultural
College, and all others who did not
attend and are interested, are being
notified that the next conference has
been set for the first week in Janu-
ary. 1--WE are going to make Farm
ers' and Home Makers Week and
Rural Life Conferences the greatest
event of the year. says R. D. Het-
eel, Extension director, "a week when
all those interested in the develop
ment of Oregon can get together and
plan for state, community and indi-
vidual betterment." Some of the big
problems of Oregons agricultural
and home making industries will be
discussed on this occasion by some
of the most successful leaders in Ore
gon and in other parts of the United
States. The regular college exercises
will not be resumed after the holiday
vacations until the close of Farmers
| Week, so that students quarters will
be available for visitors who are thus
assured of good accommodations at
! moderate prices. Also the entire fac
ulty will be at liberty to hold person
al interviews and conduct the special
exercises. Reduced fares have been
granted on all railways. There are
no charges or fees. All those who are
interested are invited to attend and
those desiring further information
should write for the complete pro-
gram which will be ready for dis

SERVICES FOR DEPARTED BROTHERS

cred by Captain X. X. Kubli of Port
land, Deputy Exalted Ruler of Ore
gon for his district. In securing this
gentleman, known so we'll through
out the state and Northwest as a
sincere and loyal Elk, Heppner lodge
was exceedingly fortunate. Mr..
Kubli's address was thoughtful and
eloquent of speech, the tribute he
paid to both the departed brothers
and the order in general being in
keeping with the occasion and in no
wise overdrawn. The closing cere-
monies were despatched with the
same dignity and precision which
characterized the opening ceremonies
and after the singing of the Doxol-
ogy the audience was dismissed with
the benediction by Rev. Handsaker.
Some excellent talent was heard
for the first time here at this service,
which combined with the efficient
manner in which the officers of the
lodge conducted their part of the
ceremony, made very favorable i'm
preston on the large crowd assem-
bled. Deserving of special mention
was the work of Mrs. Sweek at the
piano. She is an accomplished mu-
sician and valuable addition to the
musical talent of the city.

progressive young business men,
polled the highest vote for council
man, receiving a total of 249 votes.

Mail Will Close Early.

Postmaster Richardson informs us
that after the 18th of this month un-
til the first of the year the morning
mail will close at $40 o'clock in
stead of $50 as previously. This
early closing is caused by the holiday
rush. During previous holiday sea-
sons, the postofice employees have
been greatly rushed up to the very
minute of closing the mail. This year
it is figured that ten minutes will
give them ample time to prepare the
mail for dispatch.
