Bismark Sholl, have completed their
flour mill in Walla Walla. and it has
been tuning out flour since Saturday,
November 90. Mr.. Kirkland, the mill
Ter. was with Dement, Brothers for
eight years. and in Isaacs' mill for FIVE
years. consequently has all the expert
ence necessary. The mill building and
ground and the water power represent
an outlay of $4,000, and additions to
the machinery are to be made in the
near future to the value Of from 81 900
to $4,000. Two qualities of the fine
patent process will be turned out, as
we'll as the ordinary bakers brand.
The mill is one more addition to Walla
Walla's manufactures.

ANNEXATION.

Both Portland and Deering vote today
on the question of uniting these two
cities under ore government. A major
ity in both cities must vote yes in order
to accomplish the union. The people Of
Deerina have been fully alive to the 1m-
portance Of the question, and there will
be q general expression of opinion there
today. But in Portland there has been
good deal of apathy on the subject, and
it is to ne feared that many Will fall
to vote on the question. 1t seems TO
Us that it is for the interest OF both cities
to be united now. In q great many re-
spects the'cities are practically one already.
A large part of the residents Of Deering
are people whose business interests aresin
Portland and who therefore ought to
have some voice in the management
Of Portland affairs. The future in
crease of population of Deering will
be made I'D largely from the over
flow from Portland, and it will be but a
short time before there will be enough
residents of Deering whose interests IN
Portland are such as to make IL necessary
for them to have q voice in the manage
noent Of Portland's s affairs to bring about
annexation. and SO defeat today means SIM
nlr nostponement, with further agitation
hurtful in some ways to both cities. No
interest of Deering, except, possibly, the
offics-holding interest, is going to suffer
from annexation. On the contrary every
ona excent that one Is likely to be pro-
NOTED, The mere fact that Deering will
REQ more improve ments than the Older
CITY will inevitable secure to her lib
eral share of the money raised by tax
alton. With union she will, we have nc
doubt, get better streets, better side
walks, better fire protection, better
schools and better police protection than
she will without it. Her representation
in the city government will be proportion.
ally much larger than that of the older
will be for long time identical her rep
resentatives will be able to exert very
strong influence in the city government
| AS for Portland the chief benefits that
will come to her are that she will get in
the future the credit of her increase o1
population which she now loses, and will be
in appearance as we'll as in fact a growing
city. Within her present limits there il
very 1ittls room for more population, ant
she must either extend them or be con
tent to figure eternally in the census sa'
city of about her present population.

THE STATE UNIVERSITY.
(Bowdoin Orient. ]

When the Maine State College obtained
from the legislature some time ago a
large sum of money and the title of the
University of Maine, the other Maine col
leees looked with disfavor upon this
seeming partiality. BY adroit manoeuy-
ring the legislature was brought into
line, and the appropriation forced through
in a manner not altogether dignif1ed.
Ever since then there has been strong
sentiment against this action, and the
most recent manifestation of il comes
from newspaper outside the State. This
paper is authority for the report that the
University of Maine is 'endeavoring to
put aside the agricultural courses OF
study and that she "is about to add a
law department to her equipment Con-
tinuing, the Philadelphia Inquirer, the
paper in question, says that the contempt
in which manual labor is held is over.

cultural pursuits are being looked down
uuon by "those aristocratically inclined
persons in Maine. :"
These charges are eminently just The
University of Maine is primarily an agri.
cultural institution, and such 1t should
remain. When the country is flooded
with law schools and deluged with law.
yers it would seem crying shame to
unnecessarily add more to this already
oyerburdened profession. When that in
stitution was founded for the advance
ment Of agriculture, when it is ostensibly
maintained for that purpose out of the
public purse, why should it branch out
into fields with which it has biological

which it can proftably attend. In the
present condition of agriculture, where
modern methods may be used, it is nc
DISGRACE to become a farmer, it is ar
honor. The country and the State need

should cultivate them.
