ment was Yesorted to the parties soon came
to an amicable understanding, the only
damage resulting being sustained by guam

floor in the afray.

There recently appeared IN the San Francisco
Coli, Chronicle, and Examiner, proposition
hitherto unheard of IN similar business reia-

advertisement in which the Edwin w. Joy
Company, in proof OF the curative properties of
Joys Vegetable sarsaparilla, offered for limited
period to submit it to the terrific test of "Eo

The MONROE MAIL.-Again the
GAZETTE calls attention to the route
the mail between Corvallis and Monroe
is carried. 1t is an imposition on the
people of these two places, only eie ht-
cen miles apart, to have to wait as long,
If not longer, to receive an answer to a
letter sent to either place as it takes to
receive letter from San Francisco, a
Distance of about 700 miles; but such
is fire case: A letter put in the pest
office here Friday at noon, reaches
Monroe, after several transfers and a
circuitous route of sixty Or 20 miles, on
the following Tuesday and sometimes
not until Wednesday. The country
along She foothills between Corvallis
and Monroe is quite thickly settled
and 1t would be great accommoda-
ton to these people and those living
on Beaver creek, back in the foothills,
who have to go long distance for their
mail to have regular route established.

THE COMMITTEES REPORT.

1t will be seen by referring to
the report of the committee apl
pointed by the legislature to inves.
tigate the affairs OF the State Ag-
ricultural College which is pub
lished in another column, that the.
committee heartily endorses the
course pursued by the Board of
Regents in the management of the
College and Experiment Station,
and that i'll their opinion the Beard
is exerting every effort within their
power for the advancement and
welfare Of the institution, not
withstanding the efforts of the few
who, through personal malice or
prejudice, have used every means
to retard its growth and work as
an agricultural college. The sen-
ate still further indorsed the man.
agement by passing an appropria-
ton bill for new buildings by a
unanimous vote: The Salem
Journal commenting on the bill
says:
The appropriation bill for the
Agricultural college at Corvallis,
passed the senate by unanimous
vote, even Veatch, the venerable
agricultural objector, asserting.
The senate invited Hon. Thos.
Cauthorn, one of the board of re-:
gents to address that body in the
interest OF the school and he did so
with good effect as the above result
shows. This gentleman is an ex-
perienced legislator and we'll knew
just what points would best inn
press his hearers. In the house it
is not known what will be the fate
Of the bill. The governor and
granger members are opposed to-
any appropriation, but it is believ-
ed that there is a handsome major
ity for it there, too. The Benton
delegation, headed by Judge Moor,
veteran educator and incorrupt-
ible legislator, have been very
careful in working for this institu-
tion> and will probably succeed in
carrying it in the house. There is
a demand that the agricultural
college be more of farmers
institution. But it must be good
college before farmers will send
their sons and daughters to it to
learn even practical agriculture
and horticulture. The farmer
seeks to make his home something
besides a mere place for labor and
crop experiments, and a certain
degree of culture in the liberal arts
is indispensable even to an agri-
cultural college. But it is certain
that the experimental department
must not be left behind the collie
giate at the Corvallis school. The
Agricultural college should be we'll
sustained by the state.
