The people of Wilmington and

as a citizen and a friend. No appeal
of worthy cause has ever reached
his ear unheeded. In politics he was
a strong Democrat. welding a
great influence and contributing
freely to the needs of the party. He
was never n candidate for office, but
was interested in public affairs as i
citizen, his judgment was often sought
by party leaders and his approval
meant success. because it was right.
He did in every phase of life what
he thought was right and could not
be persuaded to do otherwise. He was
a man Of the highest moral standard
and keenest sense of honor. He was
liberal towards the weaknesses of
others and those who differed from
him, but he always stood firm on what
he regarded as right and never
reached a hasty conclusion.
His aid to men was never given
through policy but through principle.
He has helped many men of charac-

character, not because they were able
TO compensate through influence or
wealth. but because Mr.. Biggs had
seen the evidences of manhood, or
character, those things that could be

as a business man, as a friend, gen

In books and magazines and news

Of Local Interest.

An article that came like a clap of
thunder appeared in the Portland Tele-
gram Of May 2o. 1t was not a dispatch
aud must have come from Portland
authority. What inspired the article
many OF our citizens are guessing. The
article is as follows:
Dissatisfaction with President Thomas
Catch, of the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege, exists among the board of regents,
and the time is believed not far distant
when the present head of that institu-
ton will be asked to resign, if he does
not voluntarily take such action.
The dissatisfaction is said to be due
altogether to the age of the president,
which, it is said renders it difficult for
him to direct the affairs of the school as
should be. No word is Leard against
Mr.. Catch of personal character or in
any way rejecting on his good inten-
| tons as head of the school. 1t is rather
that his extreme age, for the president is
an octogenarian, is claimed to render it
extremely hard for MIN to fill the role of
an active and up-to-date executor of
affairs at the head of az Institution
where between 800 and 700 students are
lenrolled.
Just how soon the climax will come is
uncertain. For long time there has
been dissatisfaction with President
iGatch's work, but out of consideration
| for the personal feelings of man who
Ihas spent his life in the cause of educa-
ton, the board of regents has been Ioath
to take official action against him. And
even now, it is difficult to say when an
order will relieve the aged president
from further duties. When it does, the
present incumbent of the presidential
chair will probably be given tutorship
in the college, where less effort will be
required and where he may spend his
remaining days of usefulness in a line of
work that will be less taxing en- his
!energies.
President Catch is everywhere recog.
nized as an educator of more than ordi-
lnary merit. AS teacher he is believed
to have few equals in the state. but as a
pre- ident who must needs be an execu-
tor as well as an instructor, the argu-
ment obtains with many that Mr.. Catch
has seen his best days.
Thus far the matter has not developed
to point where any particular success
or is talked of.

A New Service.

A change of train service has
been adopted on the G. & E. in
order to make proper connection
with trains running to and from
Portland. This new service is
between Corvallis and Albany
and is now in effect.
AS the service is at present,
trains leave Corvallis for Albany
at o:3o a. M, 1890 a. M, and
6 p. m. Trains over G. & E.
from Albany arrive in Corvallis
at 1888 p. m., 3:2o p. M, and
o:55 p. m. Heretofore we have
had two trains going and COM
ing from Albany and we now
have three. The train for va
quina continues on its regular
schedule.
The train arriving at o:55 is
the one carry ing evening mail
from Portland. but this mail is
not distributed until morning on
account of its late arrival. No
fault can be found with Post
master johnson on this score, as
such an undertaking would string
his hours out too long. If he at
tempted 10 distribute this mail
after arrival at such an hour (still
later at the office it would be
about midnight before he would
get through.

desire to wholly ignore foreign

the length and breadth of the
land it is sincerely hoped that
enough Of the charity-begins-at-

1t is beyond doubt a right of
the people to demand that the
peoples money be spent at home

not a tariff question. How would
we feel were we to spend from

WERE F0RED0OMED.

It is difficult to accurately sum
up the results of the great naval
battle just fought in the Corean
Straights between the forces of
Japan and Russia in detail. There.
are still contrary reports. How
ever, experience has taught that
when reports touching on the
same subject have been sent out
simultaneously from both Japan
and Russia it have been wise to
credit the reports of the former
power and disregard those of the
latter.
Taking japanese accounts for
a basis, or on this point that of
Russian, there has been one Of
the most utter and humiliating
defeats just administered the
Baltic fleet that was ever suffer-
cred by any nation. Upward Of
twenty of Russia's fighting YES
sells have been sunk or captured;
more than 5000 prisoners taken,
among whom are Rojestvensky
and Nebogatoff, almost entire
and complete annihilation. Rus
sia can never recover from the
effects of this war during the
period of an average life.
AS usual the japanese show no
spirit of boastfulness on the part
Of her leaders as a result of this
great victory. There is on every
f1and an evidence Of calmness
and assurance that demands the
respect and begets the confidence
of the world.
What will Russia now do? Her
impotency has been proved to the
satisfaction of all world powers,
but whether the czar is astute
enough to know when his forces
have been defeated enough times
is still a doubtful matter. Rus
sia for wears has. maintained an
exalted opinion of her powers,
and so certain has she always
been of her supremacy in all
things that she treated Japan
and all the demands of the lat
ter with contempt. In conse-
quence of her stuck-up ideas OF
her own greatness her numilia.
ton is the greater in the present
hour.
At a single bound Japan enters
the first ranks as a naval power
Togo, the japanese god among
all her admirals, and the efficiency
Of those under his command may
not take off their hats to any
power. Add to the japanese
navy the vessels just captured
from Russia, and man the latte
with sailor boys and gunner
from the 'Flowery Kingdom
and the Mikado has a navy tina
begets respect.
Will Russia cry enough +? 1t i
hard to say. However, it is pos
sible that some Of the power

situation when the real status o
affairs have had time. to "soal

vention is a doubtful quantity
While it may seem an awfu
thing to suggest, in view of tn
thousands of lives that may b
