The names of these stu- dents are known to the committee, but have not been given out to the college students at large. It seems that on Monday morning Dr. John per Branner, vice president of the university, was scheduled to give an jentrance examination in physiography. The sub-freshmen were all gathered in their seats waiting for the questions. Dr. i Branner was suddenly called away be- fore he had entered the roem, and in his hurry he neglected to send word that the examination would be given at another hour during the day. Passing senior: d juhlors saw the sub-freshmen sitting anxlously in the room and surmised the cause. One of them entered the room and announced that he had been sent by Dr. Branner to conduct the examination. Several others came in to carry the affair along prop- erly. The sub:freshmen swallowed the bait and prepared to get to work. The first question that the senior placed upon the blackboard was, “Trace the pe- culiar conditions of the surface of the earth in Eastern Russla and Manchuria whereby the Japanese were able to make & quick advance against the enemy.” The second w: ‘Draw a relief map of Chil- -coot Pas: The third, Why does not water flow down the synclines instead of the outcrops?’ The fourth, “Discuss fer- ruginous deposits.”” There were six others which called for unheard-of facts about the physiography of unknown parts of the ‘world. The masking Dr. Branner sat sternly through the examination. Not a sub- freshman dared give up. The first thought and perspired an hour before he passed in his paper. Some stayed two and three hours. Every one of them put dewn an answer to each of the questions. The group of upper classmen marked the papers and posted the list of those who had passed within the president’s an- nouncement box. All of the men who seemed to possess athletic proclivities were passed without question. All of the girls received a high mark. Sixty per cent of the class failed. The joke might not have been found out had not a Roble girl told the story to her room mate. A nurried consulta- tion among the sub-freshmen was held and a report was filed with John E. Me- Dowell, assistant registrar. The matter then came before the faculty committee on student affairs. Now the students who perpetrated the joke are trembling for fear their heads will soon fall. —_—————— RIFLE SHOT PIERCES WINDOW OF SOUTHERN PACIFIC TRAIN i Barely Misses Passengers, Twe of Whom Are Cut on the Face by Fxziling Glass.

The bullet came from the ocean side, shattered the window into bits and burled itself in the wood- work opposite, just missing the pas- sengers on each side. Two men from San Jose, who refused to give thelr names, were cut on the face by the fall- ing glass and several women fainted.

CENTS A PLOT 10 CET ESTATE covers That His Name IS Used at Wedding Ceremony DOES NOT KNOW BRIDE Theory Advanced That the Woman Planned to Claim Property After His Death Special Dispatch to The Call PORTLAND, Jan. 10.— Bertha E. Leach, a school teacher, and Edward S. Gordon of Coos Bay, Ore., were married in Vancouver toward the end of Octo- ber last. Edward 8. Gordon is the name of a wealthy lumberman of Coos Bay, aged 63 years, whose health is greatly impaired. Miss Leach went to the courthouse and secured for her and the now sup- posedly bogus Gordon a license to wed. They were married by Rev. A. Yeatman of the Baptist church. The account of their unjon was published in several papers and attracted the attention of frields of the aged Gordon. They at once sent him letters of congratulation. Gordon made an investigation and dis- covered circumstances which led him to belleve an attempt was being made to secure his property after his death. He secured afidavits that he was not the Edward S. Gordon married by Dr. Yeat- man, and has taken every other precau- tion to prevent the carrying out of what he belleves to be a plot to de- fraud his heirs after his death. The age of the Edward Sam Gordon named in the marriage license and cer- tificate is given as 63 years old and the bride as 34. The real Edward Sam Gordon s 65 years old. The pecullar coincidence in names and ages con- vinces the real Gordon that something is wrong, and particularly so since it has been learned upon .investigation that the woman aid all of the talking, whils the bridegroom maintained silence ex- cept to answer the questions propound- ed by the officlating clergyman and to perform his part of the ceremony. It transpires that Gordon knew a Miss Bertha Etta Leich and kept company with her In Coos County for about a year, but severed their friemndly rela- tions. CROP PROSPECTS CONSIDERED BRIGHT Spring Rains, It Is Believed, Will Assure Bounti- ful Yield. OROVILLE, Jan. 10.—The erop con- ditions ip Butte are excellent. Farmers on adobe lands, which constitute a large portion of the wheat lands of the county, say it has been many Jears since the outlook for a crop was so Red land farmers find their grain Is coming up well and are per- fectly satisfled with the promise. Spring rains are far better for the in- surance of a crop than heavy winter rains. There has been cold emough to hold back fruit buds, and the promise of a good fruit crop is thus assured if ordinary conditions prevail in the spring. MARIPOSA, Jan. 10.—The crop con- ditions in Mariposa County are not flat- tering. The needful rains were late in coming and only a small acreage has been sown. Late rains will. however, insure a bountiful yfeld from the acre- age planted. SAN DIEGO, Jan. 10.—Agricultura@and horticultural prospects In San Diego County have never been better than at the present time. An abundance of water for irrigation is stored In the reservoirs. Little damage was done by the recent cold weather, some oranges in low val- leys being frosted. The orange and lemon yleld is larger than for years and lemon trees are bearing heavily. Grain is In flne condition. The honey crop was the larg- est in the history of the county. BAKERSFIELD, Jane 10.—The valley section of Kern County is in need of rain, though the heavy.snowfall in the high mountains gives assurance of an abun- dance of water for irrigation purposes. Crops on land under irrigation are there. fere assured, and in the mountain valieys there has been an unusually heavy rain- fall for this date and the prospects for a big grain yleld are good. The citrus fruir yield at San Emigdio, Tejon and other points was unusually heavy, and the fruit in size and flavor was never better. The cold weather has prevented the growth of the new feed, but the cattie on the ranges are not yet suffering. — Showers Are Still Too Gentle. That section of California lying north of San Jose was visited by very light showers yesterday. The rainfall did not amount to much at any Weather Bureau station. Last night Professor McAdle sald the indications were for further light showers to-day. There seems little immediate prospect of “one of those good old-fashioned rains” so greatly desired by the ranchers. The precipitation in San Francisco y day was only .04 of an ingh. ————— ROOSTER STEALS A RIDE ON OREGON FREIGHT TRAIN JUNCTION CITY, Ore, Jan. 10.—A new species of the tramp family reached this place yesterday in tias form of a rooster.
