THE COLLEGE BILL.

Feeling in respect to the agri-
cultural college bill is one sided
affair, if the newspapers Of the
state NAV be taken as reflex of
public opinion. They all speak
in about the same strain as the Sa-
lem Statesman, as follows:
The Agricultural College bill
asks for $4,000 for additional
buildings for that institution. The
bill ought to pass. This is the in
dustrial school Of Oregon, and by
the liberality of the United States
has an income of $41 900 annually,
including the experiment station
fund. But none of this money,
except five per cent of the station
fund, amounting to only $3.50, can
be used for building purposes.
The condition of the grants inn
poses that duty onthe state. The
college has increased in attendance
SO rapidly during the two and one
half years it has been under state
control, that it has more students
than it can properly accommodate.
An additional dormitory capable
of accommodating $50 pupils, and
laboratories so as to enable the
present college building to be used
exclusively for teaching purposes,
are absolutely necessary, if the
school is to continue its growth
and usefulness. 1t would hardly
be creditable for the state to re-
fuse to house an institution so
grandly endowed, that asks only
this to make its endowment effect
i've. Unless the fucilities asked in
this bill be given, the full benefit
of the federal appropriations must
be lessened in a marked degree.
That two-tllirds Of the two hun
dred pupils are the sons of farmers
or mechanics is proof of its appre
citation as an industrial school.
That it is not merely a local
school, but worthy the fostering
care of the whole state, is evidenc-
ed by The fact that half of the pu-
pills enrolled are from counties
other than Benton, twenty three
counties being represented by pu-

SEE THE POINT.

The Chicago Herald has strong
editorial article at the outset OF
which il declares: "Nothing
seems palmer than that the west
will do its own manufacturing in
a few years." The Herald ad-
vances a variety of good reasons
to sustain this view, and among
others the following: ~.
s'The west has more materials
used in the manufacture of goods
than the east has. 1t has iron,
lead and copper. 1t has more
good timber. It has corn for MAX
ing glucose, spirits and starch.
Flax and hemp succeed better in
the west than in the east. In
many parts of the west are excel
lent clay and sand for making pot
terry and glass. Almost all the
natural cement stone in the entire
country is found in the western
states and territories. The west
has only the materials to be work
ed up and the power to run the
machinery, but it has the popula-
tion to use the goods that are
made. The nearer manufactures
are to the material they work up,
and the nearer they are to the per-
sons who are to use them, the
greater saving in transportation is
effected"
The people Of the Eastern and
Middle states begin to comprehend
the point that the inexhaustible
supplies of wealth lie west of
them, and when the fact is fully
realized we will surely receive the
benefits that our country so richly
merits.

American women figure con-
spicuously in the list of modern
inventors, and the patents taken
out by them are continually in
creasing in number and impor-
tance. Among the more novel
and surprising of these inventions
is a barrel hopping machine, which
yields a generous revenue of $780,
900 a year to the clever Ihiladel-
phia woman who designed and
patented the model. The Eureka
streetsweeper is the invention OF a
woman, and a horseshoe machine,
which turns out 1900 finished
shoes in an hour. is the product oil
another weman's skill in mechan
les. English women stand next
in the list of woman inventors
but their aspirations seem TO par;
take more of a feminine nature
such as an improved feeding bottle
for babies, a new furniture polish
or kitchen utensil of improved
style.-Spokane Falls Review.

TIE San Francisco Report says:
"a St. Bernard dog, for which his
owner paid $12.5O0, and is not,con-
sldered by experts to have paid
too much, is now the wonder of
New York. Our chief interest in
the matter is that while a dog
worth $12, 800 is being admired in
New York, the legislature of the
state-of California, under instiuc-
tions from the Southern Pacific
Company, is thinking of passing a
bill fixing the maximum value of
q humanslife at $4,000.

THE Ohio legislature recently
passed a resolution declaring that
the acceptance of railway pass
by public official is a crime.
This would be appalling were it
not that the legislators forgot to
fix penalty to fit the crime, a
lapse of memory that will enable
the ''public officials of that state
to draw their mileage and travel
on passes ':just the same" The
incident illustrates broadly the be-
lief of the Buckeye solons in
the propriety of assuming vir-
tue though they have 1t not:
There is no danger that the Ore
gon legislator will assume a part of
this kind. He belongs to the class
whose creed is embodied in the
belief that a man is entitled to all
he@can get in this world, and in &C
cordance Herewith he pockets his
mileage (full measnre), packs up
the stationery, penknife, paper
weights, inkstand, Hills Code, etc.
provided for his use during the
session and rides proudly home to
his constituents on his pass with
out making any pretension of be-
ing better than anybody else.-

REPRESENTATIVE HERMANN made
an;'efort recently to get increased
rates for surveys in Oregon, as was
allowed in Washington, but it was
not allowed. hermann, did: not
have as good ground to work upon
as did Wilson in Washington. I'm
the latter state the surveyor gen.
eral has refused to make contracts
because the rates were not high
enough, and the appropriation
committee had strong letters from
the general land office recommend
ing that they be raised while in
Oregon the surveyor general has
made no complaint, and has gone
forward in making surveys with
out trouble. There has been no
difficulty in Oregon and this fact
has caused some suspicion on the
part of the land officials, that the
Washington surveyor general is
not all right. Mr.. Hermann made
the best fight he could under the
circumstances.

w. T. SIBERIAN DEAD.

The old war heroes whose faces
are so familiar to every person
who was not less than five years
of age in 1860, have almost all
passed away. Grant and Sheridan
are gone and now the last of the
trio who figured most conspicuous
ly on the field has passed away.
Fanagut, whose headquarters were
always on the quarterback, went
some time since, and a few days
ago the heroic David d. Porter,
admiral of the navy, cast anchor
near the other shore. The whole
country will hear with deep sor-
row of the death of General Sher-
man, which occurred i'll New York
on the 14th inst. The hero of the
march to the sea is gone. The old
soldier made heroic fight with
death, but he was compelled to
surrender to the ultimate con-
queror of all human potency.
William Tecumsel Sherman was
born February IS, 1920, at Ian
caster, Ohio. Twenty years later
he graduated at West Point and
the events of his career are plainly
written upon every page of history
since that time-his life has been
an open page. General Sherman
was the last of the, great union
generals of the rebellion, and re-
ceived the surrender of johnson,
the only surviving one of the prin-
cipal generals of the confederate
side. ...,
The character of General Sher-
man cannot be estimated in a few
words, but while struggling against
the possible exaggeration born Of
admiration, it seems that he. en-
bodied all the higher qualities of Il
great and good man. One eulo-
gist says, he was simple as a child,
brave as lion, sympathetic as a
wowan, firm as a rock, wrathful as
a tempest, when aroused against a
great wrong; and lovely as a June
morning among his friends.

The latest financial idea comes
from Maine and consists in prop
osition to equalize gold and silver
for currency purposes by combining
the two in one coin. The pres
ent silver dollar contains 37441
grains of pure silver, while its
yellow brother contains 25.S
grains of gold. It is suggested
that the combination dollar con-
tain 1S5625 grains of silver and
1919 grains of gold. The inventor
does not propose the amalgama-
ton of the two metals in one, but
would make such prepar:
tiosls il ckness dialneter
that one face Of the dollar would
be silver and the other gold. 1t
is claimed that if silver should de-
cline in price, gold would rise cor
respondingly and the value of the
coin would remain the same.
