Freshman Class Wins
Annual GIee Contest

Last night, the freshman class of
Willamette university won the ninth
annual freshman glee contest This
year the event was staged in the ar
mory, as all other available auditor
iums have proven much too small. The
sophomores were awarded second place,
the seniors third, and the juniors
brought up the rear.
The seniors lacked but one-sixth of
one per cent in winning second place.
The graduating class was the first to
present their song. 1t was a real col.
lege song, that will undoubtedly win
first place in the student body rallies.
1t portrays first the spirit of big
rally then that of game, and lastly
the idea that all the glory is for cold
willamette. The class appeared in
caps and gowns The chief defect of
the junior song was its inadaptability
to college use.
Both the freshman and sophomores
gained a high percentage on rendition,
their large numbers made it. possible
to create a volume that literally fill
ed the armory.
Miss Elizabeth Levy opened the ev-
ening's program by two violin solos,
accompanied by DR.. F. w. Chace. Miss
Faye Bolin gave reading between the
junior and sophomore songs, and while
the judges were preparing their deeis
ions, the Willamette quartet presented
several Of its popular selections
Professor James T. Matthews pre-
sented the decision and awarded the
large pcnnant to the freshman class.
Victor Taylor, president and Velma
Baker, vice president received it, Ed
Rauch, manager of the contest presid
ed. The armory was crowded to the
limit.

EXEMPTION BOARD
READY ON MONDAY

The last of the county assessment
rolls reached the State Board of
Equalization yesterday (Friday) and
Monday morning, probably, the board
will get down to real work. Attorney
Evans of San Francisco, representing
the Dunphy estate, appeared before
the board Friday and argued for a
reduction in assessed valuations in
Elko, Lander and Eureka counties.
The Reno Gazette says the Southern
Pacific company will appear before
the board Monday and make a show
ing in support of claim for reduc-
ton in assessed valuations of land in
Lyon, Churchill and Eureka counties.
The action the board takes on this
hearing will lay the foundation for
legal actions to determine certain
features in land assessments.
The Aurora Consolidated Mines
Company, one of the Wingfield organ.-
cations, was cited to appear before
the board next week and show cause
why the assessed valuation on its mill
at Aurora should not be fixed at $780,
900 this year.

the whole of coyotedom surely would
be attacked by the dread disease,
