The last Sunday Oregouian
contained letters from some oi
the Oregon college presidents,
giving their opinion of football.
Most of the letters betrayed un-
familiarity with the game, and
the sentiments expressed. were
but weak echoes of some recent
eastern comments. The contri-
button of President Chapman
was the only one of any merit
whatever. The moHrnful tinge
of the consensus of opinions, y
was perhaps made more proni.
ninent by the absence Of letter
from DR.. Catch, who is at the
head of the most Important,
largest and richest Oregon edu-
cational institution, and the col
lege that easily holds the cham
pionship of the state in football
and other sports. :

Pennoyer ''points with pride" to

the cash that tke police wiring

10 THE EDITOR For a week
past l have been rambling about
in the mountains in the western
part of this county, amid scenery
both grand and majestic. Some
of the time the view has been OBJ
structed by fog and ram. For it
does rain here, notwithstanding
the oldest inhabitant repeatedly
tells one that the hills are daily
FURNISHED with golden sunshine. +.
A few nights ago We were
treated to an old fashioned thun-
der storm, the hills reverberating
with the roar and din of the aerial
artillery, while the electric flashes
lighted the surrounding gloom.
The streams are all badly congest-
ed, caused by the continual down.
pour, and the roads are frightlul.

SIGNIFICANT.

Mr.. Hammond announces that
the Oregon Central and Eastern
railroad (or the Corvallis & Eas-
tern as it is now to be called) will
be extended through Oregon's
great eastern empire and that
work will commence on this eX-
tension early in the spring. This
much is good naws. But he fur
ther says that if the government
doe, not go ahead with Yaquina
harbor improvements, the road
will be run down the valley max
ing Portland the real western
terminus. This news is unwel-
come. .':
The Willamette Valley takes a
proper pride IN the metropolis of
the state and wishes it to. surpass
its rivals. Our people hope that
Portland will grow rapidly in
riches, population and commerce.
But the people Of the valley do
not want Porlland's chariot wheels
to mangle their interests.
We ENJOY seeing Portland ad
vance, but VIZ do not want TO be
under Portland's thumb. We
have felt that thumb in years
gone by and the carcss did not
please us. We are willing to trade
with Portland and through Port
land AS Il matter OF mutually
prolitsb bic business but not as Il
matter oi necessity. And if Port
land is to bw the re:,l terminus of
the .'Yaqulna" road We will be at
the mercy oi Portland.
Then what are we to de? There
is only one thing we can do
fight Tor the Yaquina harbor APP
propriation 1t may take money
to press the fight. Ii will certain
" take much OF the time OF our
public men. Our official represen-
tatives at Washington are faithful
and able but their efforts must be
supplemented by constant appeals
from our citizens. A representa-
tive delegation of citizens should
be sent to Washington, il possible,
to show that the interest of the
people here is not solely mani
tested in signing their names to
petitions. Petitions are good, but
we cannot rest our case upon
them. Eternal vigilance is;ne
price oil liberty"

A Washington telegram in the
Wednesday Oregonian states:
"The meeting of the senate COM
lnittee on privileges and elections
which was called for today to
consider the application Of Hon.
H. w. Corbett to be seated as
senator from Oregon was, post
poaed to a future date upon the
call of the chairman" Senator
Chandler, chairman Of Stile CON-
mittee, said that the committee
would not take the, matter UP
until after the holidays. This
means, as anyone can understand,
that Mr.. Corbett's case will
not even be considered. by, The
senate. His has been a costly
attempt. to result in such a dis
NAL failure.

VAIN PROTESTS.

care we to wrap our young
men in cotton?" is the question
that is at present botheriAg some
college presidents. Anti-football
agitation is a mild excitement
that pleases a few bookish, deli
cate collegians and gives an op-
portunity for the misanthropic
and dyspeptic to throw off an ac-
cumulation of bile.
The talk of modifying the
present rules to eliminate the
element of roughness' is the
rankest nonsense. The present
game can be played savagely
but no modification of rules will
take away the opportunity for
foul, rough playing. If the
players wish to engage in clean,
gentleinanly contest there is
nothing in the present rules to
prevent it. The college games
played in Oregon this season
prove this. No one who under
standingly watched these games
will claim that they were un-
necessarily or reprehensibly
rough
The attacks upon football,
however, come usually from
those who have never seen the
game and are so narrow minded
and unfair as to condemn a thing
concerning whose merits and
faults they are absolutely ignor-
ant. Their opposition is based
on prejudice, not knowledge.
Football is sometimes brutally
rough, and the same remark can
be made concerning theological
discussions; but the remedy is in
the players and no quack nos
truns such as modified rules
and prohibitory laws will be en-
dorsed by people of practical
sense.

TOXINE.
The Wholesale Sickness From
Eating Headcheese Caused
by Poison From Bacteria.

DIR. Withycombe, of Hillsboro,
state veterinarian, was in town Sat
urday and told GAZETTE reporter
that undoubtedly bacterial poison
caused the illness of those people
suffering from the effects of eating
headchecse.
These bacteria" he remarked,
ssdcvelop very rapidly. and especi
ally in albuminou> :natter. The
head of hog contains much gela-
tine and only few hours after
death the bacteria will have firm
footing. These bacteria generate
'ptonaines and sem, OF these pto-
maines. such as toxlne. are very
poisonous. Heat will kill the bac-
terra, but does not affect the pois-
on that has been produced. Usu
ally when toxinc is present in
such quantity as to cause dislres$.
ing illness, the edor of the meat
is SO offensive that it wo,lld not
be eaten. But III 4 he recent Cor
Wallis case, the seasoning Ill the
Acadcheese probably disguised the
unpleasant smell. -. The present

orable for the development ol

Prof. ~Cordley and Prof. Shaw,
OF the Agricultural College, hold

DR.. Withycombe'is is all authority
on tuberculosis. He claims that
over SO per cent ol' consumpCve
cases is caused by drinking milk
from diseased cows. Oregon was
the first state to undertake the
stamping out Of tuberculosis
through legalized methods
and the first state to reco- nize
and authorize the use of tuberculin
in the detecting of tuberculosis
A cow badly affected with the dis.
ease shows signs OF distress, is
feverish, coughs and the hail
seems rough and hard. But in
the early stages the animal ap-
pears perfectly healthy If the
presence oftuberculoses,is suspect,
ed, ptomaine is injected. II the
COW is healthy the slight poison
will have no appreclable effect
but if the bacteria be present the
resulting poison acting with the
injected poison will produce fevei
and sickness.

Withycombe, cannot thrive III
pure AIR, dryness and light. 1t is
usually caused and developed
by dampness5 foul air and dark

Mich COWS are much more sns
ceptable than beef cattle, fofitht
