CONCERN AS CITIZENS.

No matter how we feel toward
Senator Mitchell, as party men,
our broader interests as citizens
speak eloquently in his behalf.
No state could demand better ser
vice from her representatives in
congress than that rendered Ore
gon by Mr.. Mitchell. Even the
Oregonian gives him credit for
unusually faithful and effective
labor in behalf of the immediate
interests of the state. Mr.. Mitch
ell commands the respect and
friendship of his associates i'll the
national senate, and his familiar
ity with men and methods there,
is of great value to the state of
Oregon. u-.
A measure Of greafiilnportalce
to the citizens of this state, and
especially to the farmers, is now
before congress, and definite ac-
ton will be taken within the next
two years. The opening of the
Nicaragua canal means to the
farmers OF this coast a nearer
market, decreased cost Of trans
portatfon and consequent better
price for their products. They
cannot afford to neglect any op-
portunity for furthering this en-
terprise, and their best interests
demand the reelection of Senator
Mitchell, one of the foremost and
ab1est advocates of the building
of the canal.
There are those who
would sacrifice Oregon's material
welfare on account of alleged
misgivings concerning a matter
that is positively settled for at
least four years, or for personal
or political revenge. They are
not good citizens. They are mar
row and selfish.
The people of Oregon owe
nothing to Senator Mitchell, but
they owe it to themselves to see
that their representatives in the
legislature return Mr.. Mitchell
to the position where he can be
of the best service to the state.

betook himself TO the scene of the
hold-up.
'sPlutarch socn struck ahot traH
and kept it up all day. Toward
evening he grew hungry, and put
ting false face, wig and revolver
in his overcoat pocket, he called
at a house where no one was at

Lewis hung his overcoat ON the
porch wall and went in the house
to dine. A few minutes later the
young lady's beau came in, hang
ing his coat by Plutarch's. Ac
cording to her custom. the young
lady searched her lovers coat for
candy, that he was in the habit Of
bringing her. Unfortunately she
found the wrong garment and
brought to light Lewis detective

Sunday fellows, she donned them
and marching UP 10 him, frighten-

out at that time, claimed the outfit.

meal and departed OH the hunt.
About an hour later,x party
from Medford, ,-who-were hunting
for the stage robber,, stopped at
the house and being informed OF
the recent visitor with the false
face and wig, hurried after him.
Plutarch was quickly overhauled
and captured. Despite his protes
tations, he was hurried to the coun-
ty Jail and the U. S. marshal was
notified. Plutarch in his sore
straits revealed the fact that he was

THE IMPENDING cAsrAsrRoPHR.

The Oregon Legislature meets next week
and Salem will witness some exciting
scenes. This session promises to rival if
not excel any previous one in interest and
many dramatic features will doubtless en-
tertain the members of the third house.
The first fight will be an organization.
Simon claims he has the presidency of
the senate already in his control. In the
house, Benson of Josephine seems to have
the lead for speaker. Brown of Morrow
and Riddle of Douglas are working hard
for the position. Bourne of Multnomah
has fighting chance, for the selection of
Simon as president of the senate may dis
gust some Of the house republicans to
such an extent that they will vote for
Bourne to "even things up" There will
be a spirited contest for the other Offices
of the two houses, and then will follow
the scramble for clerkships.
While Senator Mitcheli's reelection is
practically assured, there will be all actiHe
and moneyed opposition. CorbetE is

AS WE ARE KNOWN.

A disease cannot be cured by
attempting to ignore its existence.
It is not wisdom nor courage, but
rather Incidence that asks sWhat
is the use of troubling about it. y
Citizens who are interested in
the welfare of the Agricultural
College cannot afford to adopt the
don't-say-anything policy. The
best permanent interests of the
institution will be subserved by
a frank, honest discussion of its
merits and defects. We all know
that politics has its hold upon the
college and that it cannot grow
and prosper as it should until its
management is absolutely divorc-
ed from politics.
The following article from a
California paper only mildly rep
resents an opinion that is fast
growing in our state:
Recently a bright politician
named H. B.. Miller was appoint
ed to the State Agricultural Col
lege in Oregon. One morning
last week a figure representing a
mans body was discovered sus-
pended from a flagstaff of the in-
stitution and in the place of the
weather signals foated a flag bear
ing in large letters the words, "H.
B. Miller may know how to run
a saw1n1ll, but he cannot run a
college" In addition to the effigy
there were legends expressive oi
dissatisfaction with the president
painted on the front doors of the
main college building and doors
of the chemical laboratory. The
action of the students is not to
be commended in any sense, yet
the incident only brings into
bolder view the decadent state OF
educational affairs which honest
educators have to contend with
in the webfoot state. All the in
stitutions for higher education
there are distressed by the politi-
cal machine which dwarfs them
to give fat places to unsuccessful
office seekers whose ability enti-
ties them to no recognition from
the people.-Sissons (Cali. Mir

STOLE AND TOLD.

VIM. Tayennor languIshes behind
prison bars-a victim of misplaced con-.
fdence The punishment followed the
crime in his case very quickly.
About four O'Clock Wednesday after
noon, Tavennor, who is known also as
"Wild Bill" went to acabin on the Over
lander pace, about three miles west Of
town and purloined a gold-filled swatciri
and s. i'll silver belonging to the, oceu-!
pant of the cabin, Ben Butge. wi,oiatthee
time was engaged i'll cutting wood. :, o.9
Burge, returning for supper, missed
the articles and, coming to. Corvallis,f
notified Officer Skipton of the theft. He
suspected Tavennor, who had been seen
in his neighborhood,- SO the yonng man
was gathered in by the officer aud put
through sweat box .
He denied vigorously for awhile all
knowledge of the crime, but the engag-
ing and persuasive spiel" of Mr.. Skip
ton proved too much for him. Taven-
nor changed front and with a between
friends air, told Skipton and Burge: eff
you don't tell anybody, I'll tell you
something. This is confidential and 1
don't want you to give me away. You
won't arrest me will your Skipton,
promised he wouldn't arrest him, and
wild Bill'' confessed the robbery and
told where the things were secreted.,
Burge went with him to recover them
and Skipton made complaint before
Squire Carlile. Burge recovered his
watch and $2. so in money and a little
later Constable Maddox appeared with a
warrant and took Tavenor in custody.
Skipton didn't arrestshim.- H
Squire Carlile held court at 10 o'clock
that night, and the articles being worth
less than SIS, Tavennor pleaded guilty
and was fined s25, which he will pay by
doing IaH days time in the county jail
He said he wanted to get out before
Washington's birthday, for he had ar
ranged to go to country dance that
day and '.do up some fellow.
Tavennor is a young fellow of about
II aud is the black sheep of a-xespecta-
able family living on college hill.

"THE Corvallis GAZETTE was
among those who most violently
opposed Senator Dolph two years
ago, because he was against free
coinage of silver" says the Ore
gonian, which often enjoys mis-
understanding. Dolph's financial
views had nothing whatever to
do with the GAzETTE's opposi-
ton to his reelection, nor, we
suspect, is Mr.. Mitchelps attitude
concerning silver, the real cause
of the Oregonian's plant against
him.

THE fact that several Of those
who opposed Dolph two years
ago have turned populist does
not throw discredit upon the
fight against the candidate of
Simonism. 1t is but step from
the sublime to the ridiculous.

The GAZETTE cannot pretend
to speak for Senator Mitchell.
This paper is perfectly satisfied
with the Senator srepublicanism,
and has no fear that he will op-
pose any really republican policy.
It declines to cure the blind that
won't see, and refrains from at
tempting the hopeless task of
convincing the Oregonian.

OLD INNOCENCE
Concerning the College.

The board of regents of the
State Agricultural College met
Wednesday afternoon and fin
ished its session yesterday.
Several matters were up for
discussion, but no definite action
was taken at this time on any
thing of importance, except on
the matter of state aid. The
board will ask nothing this year
from the legislature except an ap-
preparation to keep up repairs to
the buildings. Five thousand
dollars will probably be sufficient
for the purpose.
The board also raised the an
nua1 salaries of Dean Berchtold
and Prof. Pernot 5000. The for
mer will now receive 1900 pei
annum and the latter 81, 200.
The regents present were Mcssrs.

len, Church, Davenport, Irwin,
