WISELY oNE.-Rev. T. +. Royal,
A. NJ, of Dayton has the following
to say in the Pacific Christian Ad-
vocate, in regard 10 the location Of
the Willamette university:
"POrtlaad has wisely decided to
let the Willamette university rest.
This is gratifying to those whose
money, toll. sacrifice and patronage
have built and sustained that insti-
tuition. We hope it will never be
disturbed again, except to enlarge
its grounds In its present vicinity.
It has made a record of its own. 1t
has a grand history, an eminently
desirable location, and an enviable
reputation. 1t is surrounded by its
friends, who are there because it is
there. Its curriculum promises a
broad scholarship, and its faculty is
composed Of teachers of rare ability, !
ripe experience and great popularity, |
Hence it has enjoyed liberal pat
ronage, with a fatteridg promise Of |
continued increase. The future of
the Willamette university is assured.
Since Il is left permanently located
at Salem, its friends will now rally
around it with new inspiration and
Their wealth will be
bestowed upon it as never before
with the hope Of maintaining it still
as an institution Of the highest
grade"

PIRACY ON THE CHINESE COAST.
A British Steamer Seized, the Officers
Murdered and the Vessel Looted.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 15.-The
steamer Oceanic which arrived from
Hong Kong and Yokohama this
afternoon brings the news that the
British steamer Nammoa was at
tackled by pirates December s. The
daring of the pirates can be easily
conceived when it is known that
they made the attack only about 43
miles from Hong Kong. The YES
sci had aboard 245 Chinese in tran
sit, and only five or six Europeans
when met by IS pirates, who asked
to be taken aboard as passengers at
Ills p. m.
While the officers were at lunch
the pirates divided into four bands
and attacked the bridge, saloon, the
forward hou,e occupied by the offic-
ers and filled the cabins with stink
pots.
The passengers and Capt. Peter
son, the lighthouse keeper, who was
eating on the deck, were instantly
killed; the quartermaster was shot
and thrown overheard. They shot
at the engineer, hitting him on the
wrist. He however succeeded in
getting to the engine room and Sc
cured his revolver. He afterward
killed two pirates.
The captain, who was in the sa-
loon, was told that if he would sub
NIT to the ship being looted no
harm would be done him or the pas
sengers, but he no sooner stepped
out than he was shot dead. After
about $4,000 from the offic-
ers, passengers and crew, they
every boat the steamer
had and then turned her toward
he coast.
When five miles off they gave
several blasts with the whistle,
Nnlcn was the signal Tor their part
ers in crime to come out in six
inks, into which the booty was
laced.
When all was ready the highly
lated heathen :darted from the
Gene of their deviltries. Before
eaving however, as a reward Of
nerit, perhaps, they threw to their
who had assisted them
" drawing the fires from the boil
rs, a bag containing 5000. The
hip was then taken back to Hong
Kong by the chiet officer, where she
most deplorable sight.
Capt. Pocock, who was in COM
nand of the vessel and who was shot
n the melee, was one of the best
known men on the Chinese coast,
md his death is much regretted.

MAY SECURE HIM.-Since the
announcement was made that Stan.
ley, the African explorer would
probably give a lecture in Portland,
an effort is being made to have him
come to Salem. Many persons in
this city, would pay a good price
to hear him, yet it is very uncertain
whether such a scheme could be
made profitable, tho it is worth the
irving.

SURVEYING THE LAND.-Sur.
yeyor General w. II. Byars, Of
Portland, is doing all In his power
to satisfy the demand for the sur
vey Of public lands. He says the
whole Of the appropriation ofS2O, 900
by congress will be speedily ex-
pended for this purpose In various
portions Of Oregon. He has 9l-
ready let contract for the survey
Of .one township on the Calapooia
river near Brownsville, in Linn
county, and a part Of five other
townships on the North Santiam
along the Oregon Pacific railroad.
The matter Of surveying the public
lands has not received due atten-
tion from the government. Lands
not being surveyed has kept many
acres from being improved that
otherwise would now be in culiiva-
ton. Clatsop, Tillamook, and Co
lumbia counties have suffered heav-
ily from lack Of attention in this
matter from the general govern
ment. Twenty thousand dollars is
a very small sum to be appropri-
ated for this great work, which will
not only benefit the coupties where
the work Is done, but the whole
state. There are a large number of
settlers now located on unsurveyed
lands and improving them without
any assurance but they will be cut
up by section lines 30 that they may
lose much OF their improvements.
The men occupying these lands are
an industrious class and are endeav-
oring TO make home, and II Is the
duty OF the government TO have
these lands surveyed and protect the
holders from any possibility Of loss.

A NEAT SwINDLE.-A man has
been going around from house to
house in this city selling a kind OF
capsule, which he claims, was
invented by Edison, and is man
ufactured by Durant, wealthy
manufacturer of New York. He
claims that three of these capsules
put into a quart Rochester lamp will
generate "A gas which is converted
into light and quart of oil will last
Tor year. He sells them
at the rate Of $500 dozen
lie says 1t requires two nights for
the capsules to become thoroughly
saturated SO ms to give the desired
results. This swindler was in North

good success while In Salem, as a

have invested in the Edison world

What the Pens Do.

1t is estimated that $500, 900 steel pens
are consumed daily. 1t is interesting to
think what they do. For instance, they
make love, write gushing poetry, scrape
out the briefs in breach of promise
suit, cut and thrust at reputation,
scratch out realistic novels and political
editorials, chronicle sensations, puff this
and belittle that, and, in short, do more
to make and break, to save and destroy,
to civilize and degrade the human race
than anything else under the sun.-De-
troit Free Press.
