In.his1 late visit to the O "a .G, So

facilities and opportunities at that in

mong the buildings and on the farm.
/ He is an educated and high
Hindoo. who is in this country, pre-
pairing the way for transplanting A
merican civilization to his people in
India The plan adopted is similar
to that invoked by Japan. Young
men of character are to be sent here
to be educated and they will then
return to their native land and
, there be mi,sionaries for uplifting
and upbuilding their people.
In the recent past the Hindoos
have used the English universities
I, for this purpose. and Mr.. Ram
claims that the Hindoo students
made su b progress in their studies
there that the English were moved
| to restrict the number of such stu
den's that could be admitted to the
institutions of learning. That di
rected the present movement to the
American colleges.
Of O. A. c., Mr.. Ram declared
frankly that it presented the. most
practical opportunity for be, eft for
the students he desired to bring
to this country. The facilities and
the work as well as the preparation
was more nearly suited to the wants
of people in his land than any other
institution he had visited on the
Pacific Coast. Stanford and Berke-
ley being among them He said
that if arrangements could be made
for some of his students to enter,
that they would certainly be here
in time.
In Por land, number of persons
have contributed 1000 to be used
in defraying the expenses of such
Hindoo students as may desire to
attend the college. Mr.. Ram has
purchased farm in the Shasta val
ley on which number of his peo-
pie will be placed for the purpose
of learning the American system of
agriculture. some of whom it is ex
pected will be. of those that are ex-

No man is working hardersssto
make-o success of theR. F. D.
routes than is Postmaster johnson
of Corvallis, Itwas entirely due
to his efforts that routes and :
were established after they had been
turned down, and the same energy
applied in that undertaking, he
manifests now in the attempt to
make them successful in operation
Il patrons and road men will take
an equal interest, the problem will
quickly be solved. Postmaster
johnson has taken up the matter
of more pay for carriers. and in a
letter to Washington has created
strong sentiment in that direction.
Meantime he is in receipt ola letter
from a patron on route I, which is
self-explanatory. 1t is as follows:
Mountain View, Ore, Dec. 2S.
B. w. johnson.
Postmaster, ~
Dear Sir:-I have read your ex-
cellent letter publishsd in the Ore
gonian and agree with you that
R. F. D. carriers salary is not
enough to pay his horse feed. etc.
especially during the winter months
Perhaps the fairest thing to do
would be to let the present salary
stand, and in addition to give
horse allowance Of say $1o per,
month as required. A route thatcan
be easily worked with one. horse
during the summer months might
require 8 or even 4 horses to do the
same work in winter and be much
harder and more disagreeable job
for the carrier. 1t is neither right
nor fair that the carrier should be
put to this additional expense to
enable him to carry on his work.
In the meantime before congress
act as we hope it will, something
ought to be done to help out the
carriers. suggest for the patrons
Of different routes to make up a |
small subscription of say so or IS
cents each per month for winter
which would amount to
SIo or SIS per month to help out
he carriers salary.
For myself I am willing to bind [
myself to give SO cents per month
or Dec, Jan, and February while
'oads are bad. and I have no doubt
many of the patrons ofroutes would t
,e glad to do the same,
Would you kindly act as treas
lrer of such fund for which I en-
lose my subscription of so cents
or Dec. 'o3.
