GIGANTIC SCHEME ON FOOT.
Vast Timber and Mineral Lands to 10
Bought Up by n syndicate In West
Virginia and Eastern tennessee.

MIDDLEsBoRoUGH, KY, May ia
gigantic scheme appears to be on foot
to buy up the vast timber and mineral
lands throughout Western Virginia
and Eastern Tennessee, and to build
railroads to all principle points to open
them up to trade. 1t is said there are
millions Of dollars interested in the
project. There are thousands
of acres of the richest lands in
the world lying idle in this
section because of the lack of railroad
facilities. The Virginia Coal and Iron
Co. is ostensably at the head of this
scheme to monopolize this land, but it
is believed that northern and English
capitalists are backing the company.

State OratOrical contest

The most important event in the col
lege year is undoubtedly the state ora.
torical contest to be held in Boulder on
Friday. 1t is then that the orators from
the University of Colorado contest with
those from the University of Denver for
the honor of representing the state of
Colorado in the Interstate contest, which
is to BE- held at Lincoln, Nebraska, some
time in May. In this contest Colorado
competes with nine Of the middle west
ern states with their dozens of colleges
and their thousands of students. And
therefore it is more to the honor of the
state university that she not only took
first place two years ago but first place
in thought and composition last year.
AS we have men in the field who are
capable of keeping up to the high stand
ard thus set, we know that no one will
leave the hall that evening with any
thing but the highest praise for those
who take part, and we believe that ev.
eryone who can should attend.
Now and then we hear a sneer at COL
lege oratory, but it is only from those
who have not followed the career of the
men that have taken part in the past,
md only from those who lack the brain
power to do anything for themselves or
others. That the college orator has the
ledge" over those who have not had the
training in that line is we'll shown by a
short note in the February number of
the "Review of Reviews" In speaking
of the Hon. Albert J. Beverdge, who
was recently elected to replace Senator
David Turpie of Indiana, the editor
mentions the fact that Mr.. Beverdge
will be the youngest man in the senate
with single exception. Being only thirty.
six. The editor speaks of his life as fol-
lows:
"He began his lite on an Ohio farm
and he worked his way unaided through
De Pauw university and made a reputa.
ton as college orator. He graduated
in 1885, having that year won first hon.
ors in the state intercollegiate oratorical
contest, and also carried off first honors
In the ensuing interstate contest 1t is
worth while to observe that those laurel
winners in the Mississippi valley colleg-
late oratorical contests have been COM
ing to the front in a striking manner. 1t
is enough to mention such men as Mr..
La Toilette of Wisconsin, Mr.. Dolliver
of Iowa, @r. William J. Bryan of Illinois
and Nebraska, and now Mr.. Beveridge,
although good many others might be
mentioned"
Soon after MIR. Bryan made the speech
that resulted in his nomination to the
presidency one of our most popular pro-
fessors remarked that it was only through
the training in oratory, which he had re-
ceived during his college course. that
made such a speech possible. These
are facts which should be taken into con.
sideration before anything Is said against
college oratory.
