PROFESSOR HARRINGTON.

IL is announced that the regents of the
university have offered the presidency of
that institution TO Prof. Mark Harring-
ton. late of the weather bureau, and that
he will shortly arrive in this city with a
view of determining whether an accept
ance of the offer will be advantageous to
himself as well as for the best interests
OF the university. Prof. Harrington was
for years connected with the University
of Michigan: he is an educator of note and
high standing. and IL he can be induced to
accept the position of head of the Univer-
sity OF Washington. that institution viii be
under the guidance of a man splendidly
equipped for presidential duties.
The university is starting out upon a
new era with a magnificent future before
IL. 1t is essential that the executive head
should be an educator OF broad. liberal
and progressive ideas, who can take ad-
vantage OF the opportunity and make it
what everybody hopes IL will become-one
OF the great educational institutions of the
Northwest. From all accounts Prof IIar-
rington is such a man. His education and
experience have been such as TO adapt
him for tho position, and his record in
special fields OF work is such as Will add
TO the reputation of any institution with
which he is associated.

Grain harvest has been in full blast

week. Returns from threshing ma
chimes are almost universally OF heavy

ing above forty bushels an acre. Farmers

ing harvested as OF good quality, with q
plump, clean berry. The weather during

The grain market throughout the coun-
~ is absolutely lifeless. BIDS for wheat
of 34n36 cents bushel are made as a
matter of course, and not with any claim
that this is the market price, and buyers
report that most of the samples shown
so far are OF shriveled or smutty wheat

wheat of the county is of good grade. IT

Fall Run of Columbia Salmcn.

The AStOrian-
The fall fish-that is 20 say the salmon
caught in and peculiar to the Columbia
river in the fall. from the first OF Septem-
Der along TIL the end of the year, Is not
fit article 10 present to the public in the
guise OF food. Il Is very nearly tasteless
perhaps Ii would he better IL IL were all
tasteless, and its color is neither healthy
nor attractive. In short. IL IS played
out. exhausted. and very badly dishgured
imitation OF the Columbia river spring SAL
mon. and TO put such an article into cans
sent out from this river is an outrage. In
the first place the ordinary buyer In his
innocence imagines when he buys a can OF
Columbia river salmon, and when he is
certain that IL comes from the locality
claimed for 1t. that he cannot be fooled.
Whether the can bears on Its face the
words Spring salmon" or whether 1t is
labeled without the word Spring" at all,
makes no difference TO him. He supposes
that there is no choice, takes his fall
packed can home and from the day he eats
its contents is turned into an inveterate
and everlasting enemy of the Columbia
river product in every shape and form. He
talks against Ii TO his friends and becomes
a walking, animated warning against their
purchasing IT.

This year the travel abroad has been
unprecedentedIy large and one financial
writer has estimated that the effect of the
exodus of 1895 will be the disbursement in
Europe OF at least 500 00o.o 90 OF American
money by travellers making short trips.
OF course European travel is in some re-
speets OF value. but in many cases. where
too much is undertaken and where at best
but hurried glance is obtained of the
leading sights" the outlay is far in ex-
cess of the benefits received. All people
have an ambition to visit Europe at some
time in their lifetime. and ii would be use
less as well as unwise TO restrain them
from going when an opportunity offers.
At the same time there is much to tempt
the travellers in our own land and the rich
ought to be able 20 spend little of their
money in the country from which that
money is derived and in which there is so
much worth seeing.

''LIFE Is ONE GRAND, SWEET
SONG"

New York Sun.
Life is one grand. sweet song
That swelis triumphant on our listening
ears;
Grandly it's strains prolong,
Re-echoing sweetly DER the rolling
years,
It's cadence reaches to earths remotest
bound
AS its tale Of love and Joy ii tells.
Wherever love finds its own twill there
he found
Still weaving its magic spells.
Chorus:
life is one grand sweet song,
Grandly its strains prolong,
Bearing its message sweet
Telling of joy complete.
Life is one grand sweet song.
Thrilling our souls with Joy,
Life is one grand. sweet song
That tells of love without alloy,
Life Is one grand, sweet song
That loving hearts each TO each are ever
singing,
Telling in accents strong
The message sweet that ii is bringing
AS long as soul toucheth soul with love
divine,
Fen when life no longer thrills the clay
Wen have sweet converse together at the
shrine
OF love. in that perfect day.
