Musical Reunion at Luther College.

The idea of having a musical reunion
at Luther College originated with some
of the ex band members, and it soon
gained such favor among old bandits
its duty to make arrangements for such
a gathering. Such arrangements have
been made, and the reunion will be held
on Tuesday, -le IS, during commence
ment week.
The following programme for com
mencement week also includes the pro-
gramme for the musical reunion:
Sunday, June I3.-Io:3o a. m. bacca-
laureate sermon in church.
Monday, June I4.-3 p m. base ball
game, Drake University VS.. Luther Col
lege. on l.. c. grounds.
Tuesday, June I5.-Musical reunion
day. ga. m, meeting in band room of
all ex-members of musical organisations
at college, and members of Musical
Union for general rehearsal, etc. 2 p.
m, Prep Dept. graduation exercises.
4 p. m. Musical Reunion meeting IN
Gymnasium, including speeches and re
hearsal. 8 p. m. Musical Reunion sup
per. 8 p. m. Musical Union grand clos
ing concert in Gymnasium.
Wednesday, June I6-Io a. IN. Com
mencement 3p. IN. Alumni meeting in
No. 70.
II is needless to say that the reunion
will be one of the great attractions dur
ing commencement week, and as a
greater number of ex-students and other
visitors are expected to be present this
year than at any other commencement j n
the history of Luther College, this will
therefore be an excellent opportunity to
meet old friends and school mates, renew
old and make new acqualntances and
talk over bygone days spent at college.
The Musical Union hereby extends a
cordial invitation to all ex-members of
musical organisations at Luther College
to be present at the reunion. and hopes
that a great number will avail themselves
of this opportunity to visit their Alma
Mater and help to make the reunion a
success.
We would ask those who a to bring
their band instruments with them.

MITCHELL As AN ISSUE.
RoAMER.

There is disposition to make
Mitchell or MitehelIism an. issue
between republicans. There will
not be lacking a determined effort
before the convention meets to
create discord in the party over
the ex-senator, and these efforts
will be made for selfish purposes
and not for the good of the party.
Republicans cannot afford to
quarrel over MI. Mitchell, and
thos'a persons who are bent upon
working this lead" may under
stand now that the republicans are
not going to quarrel over him.
They. have more important duties
to perform.
When man or paper, claim
ing to be a republican, insists On
bringing the name of Mitchell in
to political discussions. that man
or that paper, whether for Mitch
ell or against him, stamps himself
an enemy to the republican party.

THE FRUIT OF LABOR.

The great material improve
ment, noted by 4 correspondent,
in the western portion OF Benton
county, is due directly to that
successful conjurer, intelligently
directed labor. The whole west
ern section of the county, though
in the mountains, is chiefly no.
ted for its we'll cared for and pro-
ductive farms and ranches and
the kindly hospitality of its peo-
pie.
A few years ago the prospects
for the western portion of the
county were not at all promising.
It was commonly referred to in
derision as "the burnt hills, "anc
one must confess that at that
time the thing that attracted the
most attention. other than the
miserable condition Of the roads,
was the waste of blackened tim
Der stretching for miles and miles
over the mountains.
Now the erstwhile wilderness
is presented to us as a garden,
where the results of toll and pa
tience are shown i'll pleasing
lights, Nor is the picture OF
material prosperity dimrned by
the stories of the peoples hospi-
tality and culture, that are told
by all who visit among them.
The bad roads still exist and
nnfortunatel.; this section does
not have a monopoly Of wretched
highways, but it is hoped that
methods and means will be
found to soon make the roads of
the county something more than
a libel on the name.
These farms and homes in the
hills do not mean great fortunes,
but they mean solid comfort and
an easy conscience. They mean
health and genuine happiness,
besides which the garish pleas
ures of city dissipation are but
tinsel and empty shades.

THE POLITICAL ARENA.
The many parties and faction

The many parties and factions
i'll Oregon arc stirring early. 1t
will require skillful generalship
to create an orderly, compact
army out of the scattered, rebel
1ious sections that today repre-
sent sthe old political parties.
Just now the leaders and would
be leaders are feeling and bluff
ing. Each one wishes to be in
a position to dictate when the
time for debating comes.
The opposition to th2 republi-
can party is far from being uni
ted. At the present outlook there
is nothing to justify the predic-
ton that the Pennoyer people
and the Young-U'Ren crowd
will ever come together. In the
republican camp all is not har-
monious, but there is little ma
terialr division outside of Multi
nonah county. The only issue
between republicans is the mat
ter of the legislative hold-up last
winter, and in the state the
claiming republicans who aided
In that disgraceful affair or who
uphold it now are so few and un-
influential that they will hardly
be disturbing factor i'll the
state convention.
The gubernatorial candidates
are keeping we'll under cover.
Lord, of course, is very earnest
ly striking for denomination, but
he will have scaNt support. ST.
preme judge, Frank Moore, would
run we'll and make a splendid
governor, but it is understood
that he wishes only his present
position. Virgil Conn, who is
mentioned also as a likely can
didate for secretary OF state, Is
freely spoken of as a fine man
for governor.
There will be but little oppos-
ition to Tongue in the republi-
can convention. Nor will the
combinations that nearly defeat
ed him in the election of 1896,
be operative aext spring. Bar
clay wishes to run against
Tongre and the republicans arc
quite willing.
"Claude Catch, of Salem, is
one of the sought" He has
warm friends all over the state
who are urging him to make the
race for secrstary OF state Or for
state treasurer. He has so far,
however, refused to consider the
matter. A. c. Woodcock, of
Eugene, can probably secure the
nomination for attorney general,
if he wants it. But he is more
likely to be a candidate for cir
cult judge of this district. Bcn-
ton county will strongly urge a
candidate tor the judgesllip.
