coRVALLIs' SCHOOL QUESTION.

As there is an impending school
election. it may be as well to in
form ourselves on the qualifications
Of the voter.
Prof. E. B. McElroy, state supt
of public instruction, has made the
following analysis of subdivision 3
Of section 43, which concerns ou1
city.
1 Voters at school meetings un-
der said second subdivision are all
taxpayers, male and female.
i. 2 Taxpayers are those who are
liable to pay taxes on property.
3 Any voter at a school meeting
is eligible to the Office of director.
4 Sex is neither qualification
nor a disqualification for voting
at school meeting, but is wholly
immaterial.
5 No person, male or female,
can lawfully vote who does not
possess the required qualifications
Of age, residence, property and
citizenship. All who possess
these forms of qualifications can
legally vote.
6 Both husband and wife may
be legal voters at a school meeting.
Z A man who has no property
in his own name is not a legal
voter.
9A woman who has no property
in her own name is not legal
voter, though her husband may be.
8 A man who has no property
in his own name is not a legal
voter, though his wife may be.
1t may not be generally known
that in Corvallis the election will
turn on this: Shall we have a
school nine months in the year, Oh
shall our beautiful building, Of
which we are justly proud, be
closed for six, with our children
running wild, untaught and un-
trained
At the present rate of taxation
the school can only be kept oper
for three months in the school yeal
instead of nine.
The voters of Corvallis will
hardly agree to such a barbarous
proceeding. We care too mucl
for our children's wellbeing to vote
for such piece of iniquitons folly

This office has been favored with a COM
plete catalogue and price list of the Ever
green Nurseries, OF Evergreen, Wis. This
nursery is well known throughout the west,
having been many years established The
proprietor, Mr. Geo. Pinney, has probably
distributed more evergreens and forest trees
through this state than auy other man in
the country. Although he raises and cells
milions of forest trees annualiJ, his spe
cialty is eyergreens. He plants hundreds of
pounds of the seeds every year, and now
has nearly three hundred varieties on his
lists, fully equalling the largest nurseries
in Europe, which supply the nurseries aud
parks of royalty. OF course, having such
large trade and growing them in such large
quantities, he is able to give better prices
for the same quality of trees than any other
nurseryman in the country It is well
worth the while of any person to send for
his lists,

NON. W. B. GILBERT.

The appointment of the Hon.
w. B. Gilbert to the vacant U. S.
circuit judgeship for the 9th cir
cult is one Oh which the people Of
this state and its bar are even
more to be congratulated than the
gentleman on whom the judicial
mantle has fallen. No appoint
ment heretofore made by Presi-
dent Harrison in this state, will
evoke more or as much satisfaction
as the one just made. When we
consider how much the safety OF
property, the protection of reputa-
ton and the redress of wrongs de-
pend upon an upright, unpreju-
diced and learned Judiciary, we at
once feel how much has been done
IN the appointment of Mr.. Gilbert
to strengthen the very bulwarks of
society. His elevation to the bench
will serve to increase the respect
and confidence which ought always
to command, and will, we are con-
fident, reflect as much honor Oh
the office as on its recipient. Mr..
Gilbert is a good lawyer, pains
taking and studious, of fine schol-
astic and legal attainments, pos
sessing in an eminent degree that
analytical power so necessary to
acute judicial discrimination and
discernment. Far above medloc-
rity, he is free from those AFRO
CANT and egotistical defects of
character which so often become
apparent, when the commonplace
reaches position which ought only
to belong to greatness.
The responsibilities of his office
will be neither too great for Mr..
Gilbert to bear and discharge with
ease and honor, nor will the ex-
ercise of his functions initiate him
with undue pride.
Unprejudiced, scholarly, with
out vanity, learned without pre-
tence, cool in temperament, pa
tient in investigation, courteous in
demeanor, he will assume the er-
mine with the cordial wishes of the
bar and people of the state gener-
ally that he may long live to wear
it, knowing that its purity will
ever remain spotless in his keeping

JOHN d. RoCKEFELLER gave an
other million dollars last week to
the Chicago university, a sectarian
institute, says an exchange, ex-
planning that he made the gift Gas
q special thanks, offering to AL
mighty God for returning health"
Mr.. Rockefeller, like Mr.. Sage,
has an idea that Gods chief bus
iness is to look after him and keep
him from dying. The gift was a
good act, but the reason ascribed
smacks of the egotism of the Phar-
isees. The poor devil, however
honest and deyout, who has moth
ing to give, may die for all God
cares-this is the logical corollary
to Rockefeller's proposition. 1t is
nonsense. Rockefeller would have
recovered just the same if he had
had neither a million nor thous-
and to give, and he will die when
his time comes just the same, with
all his millions, as if he had none.

DISPATCHES state that negotia-
tions between the United States
and Great Britain, looking to the
submission to arbitration of the
controversy between the two
countries in the Behring sea seal
fisheries, reached favorable con-
clusion on the Goth inst. Paunce-
fote, the British minister, signed a
treaty on that day of arbitration
on behalf of Great Britain. He
said he was fully authorized by
Lord Salisbury to take this action.
Blaine signed the document in be-
half of this government, and the
matter is consummated so far as
the diplomatic part of the business
is concerned. The treaty is still
subject, however, to the British
parliament and the United States
senate. The exact terms of the
treaty cannot now be stated, but
it is known that the board of arbi-
tration will consist of seven per-
sons, two representing the United
States, two Great Britain, one of
whom is to be Canadian, and
one each representing the neutral
governments of France, Sweden
and Italy.

A few weeks ago it was amour

A few weeks ago it was announ-
ced that the Cuvier annual prize
of 1900 francs for the greatest sci
entific service done to the world
during the eyear, had been voted to
the United States geological survey
by the French Academy of Science.
Major Powell, of the survey, re-
turned the money in a letter, say
ing that such prizes ought to go to
meritorious individuals rather than
to governments Or governmental
institutions. He asked the acad-
emy to send a gold medal instead,
and to add the unexpended bal
ance Of the prize to the next an
nual premium to be awarded.
Major Powell has just received a
letter from the secretary of the
academy, NJ. Daubrie, stating that
a commemorative medal would at
once be struck, and expressing the
hearty thanks OF the academy for
the suggestion, which betokens the
cosmopolitan generosity, as well
as the enlightenment of the bureau
NJ. Daubrie remarks incidentally
that no region of the globe has
witnessed such scientific discover
les within the last twenty-five
years as have been made in the
United States.

METAL Or THE FUTURE.

Within a few years science has
made vast strides in developing
the latent possibilities Of the
worlds metals. Nickel has been
combined with steel in the pro-
duction of an armor plating which
is proof against the most powerful
projectiles. The use Of phosphor
bronze, iridium and platinum has
grown enormously. There are we'll
grounded hopes for a cheaper pro-
icess of extracting tin from the ore.
and if it be perfected the United
States will be in condition to COM
pete with the Straits of Malacca,
which now produce two-thirds of
the worlds tin supply. Electricity
has already been utilized in the
extraction of iron from the lower
grades of ore, and it is inevitable
that scientific will still further ad-
vance almost every branch of man
ufacturing as we'll as the metal
productions which enter so largely
into them.
But Of all these advancements
none is probably Of greater i'm
portance than that achieved in the
production of ALUMINIUM. Only a
few years ago this metal was
greatly restricted in use because
Of the price, which ruled at about
two dollars per pound. When it
was brought to ninety cents the
demand was largely increased and
it was generally substituted for sill
yer in the production Of certain
articles where lightness is an I'M
portant consideration. Now it can
be placed on the market at thirty
five cents per pound and it is
authoritatively announced that
another material reduction will be
made in the near future.
To those who know and appreci-
ate the qualities Of this metal
there are many suggestions made
by the prospect of its general use.
Its lustrous white color, its low
specific gravity, its hardness, and
above all its incompatible ductil-
ity, mark it as the metal Of the
future. 1t can be used for every
purpose III the arts where silver is
now used and will eventually sup
plant the older metal. Aluminium
does not tarnish so readily and will
be in favor for table ware and az
ticles of adornment. The import
ance of this appears in the fact
that one-tenth Of the worlds silver
production is now employed in the
arts. This is but one field of indus
try which it will invade, and its
inherent possibilities in other di-
rections cannot be estimated.
Aluminium, as now manufac-
tured, depends for raw material
upon the Greenland chrysolite, and
this supply in itself is adequate to
supply the demands of the world
for the next fifty years. Large
deposits have recently been found
in Kansas, others will doubtless be
discovered, and in addition to all
this seven per cent. of the worlds
crust is aluminium, SO that material
for its production will not be want
ing. AS it supplants silver more
and more the value of that metal
must correspondingly depreciate.

now carried on in sixteen States.
but in none south Of Pennsylvania
and Ohio. And an excellent be-
ginning has been made. 1t is not
to be expected that the culture
should be perfect at the first at
tempt, as the quality of the roots
depends much OH the skillful man
agement of the crop. But enough
has been done to prove that the
business may be made profitable
to all concerned. The agricultural
department at Washington has
made analyses Of the roots grown
in these sixteen states with the re-
suits of showing the sugar contents
to average from II to IA per cent.
Eleven and one-half per cent. will
yield 1876 pounds of sugar per ton
of roots, which is sufficient for
profit, but it is possible to grow
roots considerably richer than this,
and with as much as Il per cent.
on the average. This will afford
nearly ITO pounds of sugar to the
ton Of roots.
1t has oeen shown that crop
of roots may be grown at cost of
$50 per ton, of which cost nearly
three -fourths has been for
manure and fertilizer, and one-h half
of this cost of course, rightly should
be charged to the succeeding
crops, which receive this pro-
portion Of benefit at the least.
Again, the clean culture of the
land is large item Of the cost,
and part of this goes to the
benefit of the next crop. 1t is this
Indirect profit from this culture
that makes it so desirable for
farmers, and with the money profit
of it renders it one Of the most i'm
portant in the farm rotation. 1t is
the hand labor in the field that
costs. When the work may be
done by means of suitable imple-
ments it is much cheaper and
more effective. It is the fear of
this hand labor that tends to pre-
JUDGE farmers against the growth
of roots.
There are few features Of the
root crop that deserve especial
mention. 1t is one of the most
valuable of all for the improve
ment of the land. 1t goes with the
feeding of animals, a work which
from the earliest times has been
admitted to be the most import
ant part Of agriculture. Roots are
invaluable for this use, and are in
dispensible for the profitable feed
ing Of sheep, admitted by all to be
the most desirable and profitable
part Of farm work. They leave the
land in the most excellent condi-
ton for the following crop. The
leaves gathered and saved will pay
all the cost of harvesting and saw
ing the roots. There is no waste
OF danger of it in saving the roots,
and an inexpensive pit in the
ground, or common barn cellar
will keep them in good condition
until the following summer. when
| the full-grown pasture comes in.
or the first soiling crop is amply
ready for use. And, though men
toned last, the most important oil
all, the skillful culture of roots
made possible and learned only by
preparatory experience is the key
which opens the door to the profita-
BILE and successful manufacture oil
our own sugar.
