Hold Your Temper.

The athletic young gentlemen who are
acquiring their education at the expenses
of the state and general government at
the o A G are afraid to let the young
men who are educating themselves at
Albany college into the intercollegiate
Athletic Association. Likewise the U.
of o. chaps imagine that they are the
one and only institution on earth. But
Albany college and it's athletic depart
ment will be heard from. We suggest
that the Oregon colleges leave out the
two big hogs and run the association on
strictly square methods. Albany college
has employed an athletic instructor and
has been to large expense and expected
that it would be admitted to the associ-
alton. 1t has number of athletes who
will compare favorably with any in the
state. 1t is mean piece of spite work
to bar them from the association, which
will initiate against the colleges which
voted to do se.-Albany Herald. 1t is
not far cry to the time when Albany
college voted to exclude representatives
of theO A G from oratorical contests,
and no one said naughty things about it,
either.

A Soldiers Burial.

The body of Lyman Keisay is now at
San Francisco. It arrived in that city
last week on the Hancocks.and notice is
daily expected. of its shipment to this
city. Tuesday a telegram was sent to
Quartermaster Long at San Francisco
asking when the body might be expected,
but as yet no reply has been received.
Upon its arrival it will lie met at the
depot by the K. of P. of this city and be
escorted to the opera house where appro-
pirate memorial services will be held.
1t is the intention if the body comes the
latter part of the week to hold it until
Sunday.
DIR. E. J. Thompson will deliver the
funeral sermon and short addresses will
be made by Judge Burnett and Judge
McFadden. Appropriate music, both
vocal and instru mental, will be pro-
vided.
At the grave the beautiful service of
the Knights of Pythias will be performed,
a squad of Spanish War Veterans, his
comrades in arms, will fire parting
volley over the mound, and taps, the last
farewell, will be blown.

office Mr.. Tongue and Mr.. Miller hope to
be able to assist in building up the Ore
gon trade with the Orient.
Mr.. Miller is one of the weti-knoWn
business men and politicians of Oregon.

ton to fruit culture, in which he has

Oregor's Peculiar Poet.

There was two-feld reason for the
large attendance at the Opera House,
Saturday evening, when Joaquin Miller
told of Lessons not Found in Books. y
and described ''Our Arctic Empire"
The first, and principal one no doubt,
desire to hear the gifted poet of the
Sierras; the second, curiosity to see the
man. Both were abundantly gratifed.
AS poet, Ciacinnatus Heine Miller is s
credit to Oregon and the nation and a
benefactor of mankind. He tunes his
harp to the soft murmurings of the brook
and sings sweet words OF innocence and
youth. Then, when changeful nature
fills his ear with roar of cataract and
thunders peal, bold and masterful be-
comes his touch and clarion voice rings
out. lin wild, fierce song. His moods are
as fitfuI as the winds, and his convict
ions as stable as the rocks.
His peculiar manner and eccentric ways
have given him the reputation of being
freakish and this reputation in measure
proved a drawing card. But Joaquin
Miller is not freak. His life is single
and stands out from tse great mass of
humanity, marking him a peculiar man,
but there is no lack of wit or imperfection
of the mind. What his moral character
may be is thing apart, and subject for
the cloister rather than the study.
In Lessons not Found in Books" he
told his auditors that to be good was to
be happy. To be good was to look
for good in everything and to seek it was
to find it. To hope tor perfection was to
court disappointment, for nothing in ma
ture is fawless. Even the sun has spots.
From the frowning submits of these
rock-ribbed hills innumerable hosts of
angels look down upon the valleys, and
it needs but the hand of q Michael Angelo
to reveal them. There are sermons in
the stones, music in the running brooks
and good in everything. Woven through
his remarks were number of his poems
and his rendition gave them added
strength.
A solo by Prof. Gates accompanied by
Miss Edith Gibson, which was entiiusi-
astically received filled an intern1issio1.
Mr.. Miller appeared in his Klondyke
costume and told of our arctic empire
and lis mem orial trip over the Yukon,
the details of which are familiar to every
one. His description of the midnight
sun and northern lights was wierd aud
beautiful. In language graphic and
intensely thrilling he told of the fearful
plunge through White Horse rapids
where Death sat seven times mounted
and his word painting of the birth oi
baby day and the battle between the
hosts of light and darkness, was the
finished product of the artist.

ANNUAL FIELD MEET.

Corvallis, Eugene, Forest Grove Mon-
mouth, Newberg, Salem, will compete
| At a business meeting of the Inter
collegiate Amateur Athletic Association
of Oregon, held at Salem, Saturday, Fred
Colvig, Grant Elgin, and Bruce Burnett
represented the GA G. Delegates from
U. of O., P. u, o. S. N. S., w. U.
aud Pacific University were also present.
1t was decided that the annual field-meet
should be held in Salem the first satur-
day in June. Aside from the disposition
on the part of the representatives of W.
u Ito boss the job, everything went off
smoothly and there was general
unanimity of opiniou. The application
of the school at Albany and Mt Angel
for admission to the association received
the active support of Salem, while the
Monmouth delegates, who were instruct
ed by their college to vote for the ad-
mission of these schools, had no choice
in the matter and passlvely voted ''aye.
Had they been left to use their own
| Judgment in the matter, their vote might
haye been different. All other delegates
voted against the resolution.
The field meet has been patronlzed
and fostered mainly by U. of 0. and
lOA C and the winning of the contest
really lies between these two representa-
tive institutions. They send each year
to Salem from twenty to thirty athletes,
while the smaller Institutions enter one
or two first-class men in one or the other
of the events. These in their way help
to make things interesting, but without
U of O and O AC there would be no
field day.
Each institution is charged an entrance
fee of $40, and granted a per centage for
milage. The school at Albany would
probably enter three or four indifferent
men, and would receive as much per-
centage of the gate receipts as would the
GA G. Her part in the contest would
not add any to its merits and have no
influence on the result, and thesea things
are true also of Mt Angel.
The Salem Statesman says that there
is considerable talk OF arranging local
field day, the same to be held one week
or probably two weeks prior to the state
intercollegiate meet. 1t is proposed that
at this meet competing teams from Salem
Y. M. G. A.. W. o., and Chemawa
Indian school should participate. This
would be nice. Albany and MI. Angel
might be invited to take part in this
meeting, and the promising youngsters
who win in these events might represent
one or other of these schools at the state
field meet. And too, as the Statesman
very aptly concludes: "a local field
meet, under such management would
not necessarily In any way interfere with
the state intercollegiate meet and would
tend TO promote athletic sports in the
Willamette valley The state meet
could then be held at Corvallis or Eugene
where it rightfully should be held, and
step forward will have been taken in
making this enjoyable event more popu-
lar and successful.

Two Members of the Delegation Respond
to the Councirs Memorial.


Two Members of the Delegation Respond
to the Counci1's Memoria1.
AT its regular meeting last month. the
city council framed memorial to con-
gress, urging the necessity ofimmediately
granting an Appropriation for the contin-
uance of the work nov being done on the
revetment on the Willamette, east of this
city. 1t was pointed out, that this was
the most urgent and important improve
ment now demanding attention on the
entire river; that if the jetty were not
extended another 1900 feet, the work
already completed might be destroyed
by the spring freshets, and new channel
be cut, leaving this city mile from the
river; that, in the event OF the river
changing its course, greater snm would
be necessary to dredge the new channel
and make it navigable than was now
being asked for, and it would I've an act
of wisdom aad economy for Congress to
grant $4,000 for the completion of the
present work.
Copies of this memorial were sent to
our delegation in Congress and other
officials, by Mayor Crawford, and he is
in receipt of replies from Senator Simon
and Congressman Tongue. The former
says, briefly: 81 shall take up the
matter with the members of the Oregon
delegation, and I feel confident that
whatever can be done to promote the
interest of your city will receive the
earnest consideration OF each member of
the delegation" This is encouraging, so
far as the good intentions of the senator
are concerned, but the question is more
far reaching than the simple "interests
of this city" are concerned. We would
impress upon congress that the
farms OF host OF citizens are in jeopar-
dy; that there is danger of having to
expend vast sum in clearinga new
channel, and that navigation is in danger
of being long obstructed. The matter is
Of state importance.
Congressman Tongue says:
''The statement in your letter that the
money is exhausted is somewhat of a
surprise to me. On December 31st. last,
to the report of the chief OF
engineers, there was available for the
works along the Willamette river nearly
$25, 200. had supposed that that mon
ey was available for this purpose. Upon
that, however, it is possible that I may
be mistaken, but I will look into this
matter at once, and see what can be
done. It is exceedingly difficult to pro-
cure appropriations of this class outside
of the river and harbcr bill. It can only
be done under peculiar circumstances in
great emergences. 1t would require a
very strong recommendation from the
engineering department. General Will
SON will doubtless refer the matter to
Captain Langftt, 80 that 1t will take
some little time. hope for success and
insure you of my willingness to do every
thing that is possible to bring it about"
Perfect confidence is imposed in the
efforts and ability of the delegation to
secure this Appropriation, if possible,
and as this is a matter of peculiar cir
and great emergency, it is
hoped that Captain Lang6tt, who is
thoroughly acquainted with the condi-
tions, will supply very strong recon-
mendation for the granting of the appro.
priation.
