The Oregon Land Co. is now busy
sending out their new edition of
pamphlets descriptive of the Will
lamette valley and Salem, the cap
ltal city. This is a 10000 edition
and all whose names have been
sent in will be forwarded a copy of
the late compilation of facts and

Shore and will contain many of the
of that number for
January. They will have $1,000 of
this edition printed and they will
go to as many homes in the East.
Sowing seeds of immigration is

Mrs. NallOy Stricken While Preaching.

An immense congregation gather
ed to hear Mrs. Malloy's farewell
sermon, last night. The lady was
taken suddenly i'll soon after she be-
gan, and though she made an at
tempt to go on sank back in a swoon
after few moments and was oblig-
ed to desist. Her physician had
warned her not to make the effort
in her delicate condition.
By the way, while on this it is
well to remark that owing to the up
roar and loud stamping and rum
ming up and down stairs by a lot of
boys and half grown men the per-
sons near the entrance could not
hear a word. 1t is but simple truth |
to allege that the disorder made by |
the rioters was astounding as was
the endurance of those who have
authority over the premises. No
political meeting would have toler-
ated such outrageous imposition.
The law to punish those who dis
turb meetings and public assem-
blages Of the people should be en-
forced, if there is such n law, and,
if not, our Legislature can do no bet
ter service to the cause of order and
social decency than by making one.
Some Of the states have such a pro-
vision furnishing severely from a fine !
up to fine and imprisonment, all
who disturb the peace of families,
neighborhoods, meetings, etc, and it
works admirably, t

Mr.. Kay Was Here.

Thomas Kay, late of the Browns
vile woolen mills, was in the city
to-day. He came to look up the
proposition for the establishment of
mills here. Nothing was done, but
he will return tomorrow evening,
when definite disposal will be
made of the matter. He starts in a
few days for England to purchase
several thousand dollars worth of
woolen mill machinery and it re-
mains to be seen whether Salem, Al
bany or some other city captures the
prize. The committee having the
matter in charge here, assure us
hat there is little DOUBT but that
favorable terms will be arranged to-
and the mills be located
lere.

a month ago an exciting robbery
was committed at Independence,
but until now the fact has been sup
pressed, in the vain hope that the
perpetrator might have been appre-
hended. Among gother families who
recently came to Independence and
made their home was that of Jack
son Baker. About Christmas time
he gave to his wife for safe keeping
$llOO in greenbacks, together with
$1,000 I'm certificates of deposit.
These she placed in an old vest poe
ket, and put the vest in the bottom
of an old trunk. After several
weeks, in going after the money,
she could not find the vest. 1t had
been taken and with it the money.
Payment was ordered stopped on
the certificates, but the Sll0O is n
minus quantity. Ii is an expensive
luxury hiding money in trunks and
old tin cans.

THE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.

EDITOR JOURNAL:-Recent Wis
itors to our Agricultural College t.
examine into its workings did no
find a horse, COW, sheep, pig ol
chicken belonging to the Agricultu
raj farm; and the draining of sale
farm was being carried on by hiring
the necessary hauling as well as al
other team work. A farmer would
hardly think this practice to be q
paying one. Evidently the Execu.
tive Committe of our Board of Re
gents are not farmers. Possibly
they think they are doing great
things; and if they are. Com
pairing present efforts with past do
ings, we will be compelled to own
that they are. But if anybody is
so simple as to believe that anything
worthy of the great state of Oregon
in practical results can be accom-
plished on the present site of the
Agricultural College, bottled up as
it is with village lots all about it
that will prevent any enlargement
of the farm to meet the wants of
even one department of u school de-
voted to practical agriculture, it
will not take long to undeceive him.
But in the meanwhile, what is be-
coming of our school in practical ag-
riculture? 1t will be most effect
ually "swamped," and nobody bene-
fitted but those living in the inn
mediate vicinity, and they only
because Il good high school has been
for them at somebody
else's expense.
1t is short-sighted policy that is
governing our Agricultural College
and has ruled all along in the past.
That kind of n school has no Ousi-
hess in town, but belongs out on
the broad, fertile lands that adjOin
any town in Oregon; should have
not less than $40 acres. Then we
might expect to see some practical
results in the teaching of agriculture !
hat will compensate for the expend- |
ture. But so long as the present
lite is maintained nothing can be
lone even in the hands of the friends
If practical agriculture, because they
lave not room to put in the APP
Dliances and use them.
The best thing that can happen
o the cause of agricultural educa-
ion in this state now is that the NJ.
:. Church South be able to main ]
ain its suit for possession of the
agricultural College farm. 1t will
e better and more economical for 4
he state TO start anew-that is, if a
eal Agricultural College is desired.
hould there not be land enough in
'enton county for it, it might be
'ell to look in other counties for a
lpply of earth to meet the neees-
ties of the case.

Too Many Officers.

The city ofMaryville, Mo-, is about
to propose a resolving of it's corpora
tion back into the common body OF
citizens and thus to enjoy the en-
ployment of justices and constables
vice mayor, alderman and city mar
shall. OF all the follies of our time
this thing of incorporating every
village as city is one of the most
absurd. A very simple amendment
of the road law so as to enable ad-
joining property holders, who reside
on village lots to make and repair
side walks would do away with the
only excuse for incorporating sever
al thousand cross road points, and
relegate hundred thousand ambi-
tious citizens to the realms of privacy.

HON. E. H. BELKNAP.

having been born in Benton county
on what is called 1.-THE Old Do
nation Land Claim" in the yeaI
1860. The Old Donation above
spoken of was settled in al and '4S,
and is somewhat Of a historical part
of Oregon. Mr.. Belknap passed his
youthful days as farmer lad, but is

with some high honors. He is now
serving his first term as representa-
tive for the Benton county citizens.
He was a candidate for the office he
now fills in 1886, but was defeated
by small majority, Curious to say,
Mr.. Belknap has never departed
from his "single life" as yet. He is
a strong republican and has always
held to that party. His opponents
in the last election were Messrs. NJ.
NJ. Davis and Y. w. Smith. His

ago he went to Jackson county, and
again continued stock raising, at
which occupation he has succeeded
II accumulating neat and COM
ortable fortune, In 1872 he was
married at Albany to Miss Pauline
