But its services gobeyond the subject matter of such investigations, which are fundamental toprogress in many other lines of effort at this institution, and often in the labora-tories of other similar institutions throughout the world. The department, inshort, is a good example of those service departments of an experiment stationwhose work, as far as ultimate results are concerned, is so intricately involvedwith that of other departments, that its true value may never be appreciated bythe public, or even known to many beyond the circle of scientific workers. * »ne fourth of all the bulletins of the Station have been the work of the Station chemists. 46. AGRICULTURAL CHEMISTRY INVESTIGATION WORK WITH SOILS AND WITH INCUBATION OF CHICKS SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING. Exceptional opportunities for pioneering service in Engineering are afforded by Oregon in particular, and by the Pacific Northwest in general. Conditions here are still in the making, and few of the phases of engineering work have been reduced to extreme specialization as in the more settled corn-Peculiar Needs . _ _., , ._,..,in Oregon mumties ol the East. I he departments of Engineering that are conspicuously needed in the upbuilding of Oregons re-sources, especially in the utilization of her great natural wealth, are mechanical,highway, irrigation, sanitary, electrical, and civil. The mechanical industriesare still in their infancy in this State so far as great manufacturing enterprisesare concerned, but the need for college-trained mechanics, especially those pos-sessed of initiative and constructive ability, is far greater than the supply.
