WILL SHE ASSIST2

The people of Eastern Oregon want a
railroad. They have wanted it for years.
Yet at this time they have no greater as
surance of such a thing coming to pass
than they had ten years ago. By united
effort, an appropriation for wagon road
can be secured from the next legislature.
1t would connect the Inland Empire with
the Oregon Pacific; save sixty or seventy
five miles of hauling; open better mar
ket for their products; afford cheaper and
better transportation facilities; hasten
the delivery of mail matter at least forty
eight hours, and benefit them in many
other ways. Besides these advantages, it
will bring Eastern and Western Oregon
in touch, and open up desirable trade
for valley merchants, by exchanging
flour, fruit and other commodities for
wool and such products of Eastern Ore
gon.
Salem has already talked of building
a railroad to connect with the o. P at, or
near, Munkers With good wagon road
over the mountains, and the increased
trade it would afford, there is every rea-
son to believe that the people of Marion
county would complete the rail line at an
early date. By putting a small, fast
steamer on the river, to run between Sa-
lem and Portland in conjunction with
the railroad, residents of Eastern Oregon
would be given the advantage of cheaper
freight rates from the metropolis than
ever before enjoyed. Citizens of Eugene
and Corvallis would probably unite in
constructing railroad between the two
cities. Both of these lines could be oper-
ated by the Oregon Pacific in conjunc-
ton with its trains at nominal cost.
We have waited in vain for an exten-
sion of the Oregon Pacific. No assurance
is had that it will ever be completed. We
must do something ourselves; all that is
necessary for the success of the enter
prise is to make a bold, solid stand. An
united effort will crown our 1abors with
success. Western Oregon may be de-
pended upon to use every honorable
means to secure the appropriation. Will
Eastern Oregon do as much?

SCHEME OF RIVAL PUBLISHERS,

Consistency is virtue that the Orego-
nian can no longer assume. Posing for
years in the interest of economy, it now
departs from its beaten paths to advocate
change in school books, which will cost
the school patrons of Oregon not less
than $3.50, 900. An unho1y alliance has
been formed among rival publishing firms
to down the American Book Company at
all hazards To this plot against the peo-
pie of Oregon, whose burdens are already
oppressive, the services of the morning
daily are secured. The alliance pushes
the button, the Oregonian does the rest
The public expect, and rightly too, that
the press will energetically advocate all
matters of local importance in the inter
est of economy. Papers that are oppos-
ing change of text books are doing ex-
act1y what the public expect them to do.
The American Book Company's pub1ica-
tions have been in exclusive use in Ore
gon for several years, and have given sat-
isfaction. No complaint has been heard
until just now, when a new contract is to
be let All of a sudden, we hear pro-
claimed from the house tops that these
books ''bristle with mistakes and mac
curacies," and that they are the poorest
books the company publishes. These
reports are circulated by representatives
of rival publishing houses, who are now
visiting every school district in the state,
intent upon poisoning the public mind
against the American Book Company, in
the hope that it will be unable to renew
its contract, i'll which event they expect
to be successful. These rival concerns
dare not meet the American Book Com
pany in an open and fair competition for
business, but seek to down their rival by
the most unscrupu1ous methods. To do
this, they have secured the services of a
self constituted committee of one hundred
antiquated, unprogressive, barnacle-cov-
cred Portland mossbacks, and with the
Oregonian to forward the nefarious plot
against the citizens of the state, it expects
to wipe the American Book Company out
of existence. But the scheme will never
succeed. The public will not be buncoed
in any such manner. The school super
intendents and members of the board of
education are men of sense and in
tegrity, and will not be induced to delib-
erately hold up the school patrons of Ore
gon to the. tune of $3.50, 900, even though
the scheme would receive the sanction of
the honorable Committee of One Hun
dred, and the approval of every news
paper in Oregon whose policy has been
to barter editorial space to every illegiti-
mate scheme that comes along and has
the price.

COLLEGE CONTESTS.

With reassembling of students at the
college comes reorganization of the
foot ball team. This is as it should be-
In all institutions of note athletics are
encouraged, for it is recognized that with
out ample physical training the mind is
incapable of full development. Foot
ball, however, ought not to be the only
contest which students should be en-
couraged to enter. The Agricultural Col
1ege is one of the few institutions of the
state, where military tactics are thorough
1y and scientifically taught. This feature
attracts many students to the institution
each year. The department is in charge
of competent federal officer, who is cap
able of attaining the best possible results
in military evo1utions with a company
of boys who will give the necessary time
and attention to the work. By going at
. the matter with a will and determina-
ton to succeed, crack drill company of
twenty-four men could be had by early
spring. A challenge should be sent to one
of the foremost companies of the state for
a comparative drill, to take place at the
First Regiment arlnory in Portland
Such plan would meet with the appro-
val of every patron of the school. The
discipline and military training would be
of lasting benefit to students entering the
contest, besides affording them plenty of
healthfu1 exercise and recreation. In
this connection, it might be well to sug-
gest that the O. A. c. should be repre-
sented in all intercollegiate literary con-
tests. While it is true that the agricul
tura1 college course pertains more to
scientific than to literary work, there is,
nevertheless, deal of timber from which
an excellent contestant might be selected.
At such contests in the future it is to
be hoped that the institution will not be
conspicuous for its absence:

comes more valuable as a teacher, and
lends dignity to the profession, through
the incentive furnished by the assurance
which she feels in the permanency of her
position. Take this assurance from her,
and you have taken the rudder from the
ship. She now employs her spare hours
in the cultivation of the good will of the
school board and the most influential
patrons. Instead of spending her vaca.
ton in improvement in the art Of teach
ing, her time is employedin shrewd polit-
ical maneuvers, by which she hopes to
secure a position. The position once
gained, she feels herself so obligated to
friends who have helped her to secure
the school, that she permits them to die.
tate to her the means of government and
the methods in teaching which she must
employ. Frequently these ex official
teachers advise her to do things which
her common sense and her own con-
science tell her are wrong; but she ignores
the warnings of common sense, bushes
the voice of conscience, and does as she
is bid. The result is inevitable failure
The teacher must be free to draw her
own conclusions, and follow their dicta
ton. Taking it all in all, there is so little
to encourage the teacher, or to merit the
sympathy of patrons, that the wonder is
that our schools are so efficient as they
are. But, as we purpose later on to de
vote some attention to the methods of
hiring teachers, we close by ioviting the
patrons and school boards of this county
to give some consideration to the follow.
ing propositions: First-school districts
should unite the fragmentary and separate
school terms of the year into a common
school year with no vacation. Second-a
teacher should be retained in the same
school as long as fairly good results are
attained.

OF MUTUAL INTEREST.

"The Corvallis GAZETTE is making
very commendable fight for the building
of wagon road over the mountains from
the Oregon Pacific front to Prineville by
means of state aid. This project is
very feasible and just one, but cannot be
accomplished, for the reason that it is too
local in character"
The foregoing is taken from the Lin
coin Leader. While the item is compl1-
mentary to the GAZETTE, it attempts to
pour cold water on an enterprise that
would be of quite as much benefit to the
people of Lincoln county, as it would to
residents of old Benton. By keeping
ever1astingly at it, we can succeed. We
need the wagon road; need it badly, and
are going to have it. Already, the Ga
zErT e has positive assurance from several
members of the next legislature that they
will work for the measure, and secure its
passage if such a thing is possible. In
stead of trying to kill the plan, the Lead
er should come out square-toed, and ad-
vocate, in vigorous language, the necessi-
ty of an appropriation of $4,000 for
building the road. The papers of Linn,
Lane, Marion, Polk, Crook, Harvey,
Malheur and Lake counties ought also to
assist in impressing upon the public mind
the urgent necessity for a state road to
connect Eastern and Western Oregon.
A number of papers have seen the impor-
tance of this matter, and are giving the
1audable enterprise their support.
In former issue, the GAZETTE pointed
out the difference between local or spe-
cia1 road, and one connecting two great
sections of the state. No one can right
fully contend that the appropriation of
funds for the construction of road to
connect Eastern and Western Oregon
would be unconstitutional. Any enter
prise that will further the interests of at
least one-fourth the population of state,
and enhance the value Of millions of dol
lars worth of property, is in no sense To-
cal, but general in its operation, and,
therefore, constitutional. Of course, it
would be unconstitutional for the 1egisla-
ture to appropriate money for the con-
struction of highway leading from Cor
wallis to Phi1omath, because such a road
would benefit only small number of peo-
pie, and be entirely local in its operation.
But the plan proposed by the GAZETTE
directly or indirectly effects nearly every
citizen of the state, and according to the
opinion of leading Corvallis attorneys,
this fact would leave the bill appropria-
ting the necessary funds barren of any
unconstitutional feature
If no sale of the Oregon Pacific is had
before the next legislature convenes, the
people of Eastern and Western Oregon
are going to demand $780, 900 appropria-
tion for the purpose of constructing a
wagon road from the present end of track
to the other side of the mountains. This
demand will be made first, last and all
the time; and it will be granted, too. If
the Leader does not wish to assist in free
ing the people of the Inland Empire from
their present oppressed condition, and
by so doing increase the trade and conf
mercial advantages of Liucolnites, it
should not attempt to kill the efforts of a
paper that is working in the interests of
all concerned.
