COL. HOFER ON FOOTBALL

The approaching football season
promises to be the most interesting
aud spectacular in the Northwest.
All of the leading colleges are turn
ing out stronger teams than ever
bafore, and much interest is being
taken in our own university team,
which is developing under Chaun-
c.y Bishops skillful coaching into
one of che most formidable aggre-
cations Willamette has ever pro-
duced.
To the casual observer, football
doubtless presents merely the spec
tacle Of vigorous physical exercise.
But deeper insight will discover
the steady development of those
other qualities which make the COM
plete man-quick determination,
instant obedience, salf-re1iance, ply
sica1 bravery. It calls out not mere
ly the qualities which make the
soldier, courage, endurance, self
control, but equally that mental
ocumen which makes the SUCCESS
full man in any of the affairs of life,
perception discrimination, and
judgment. Despite the common
belief that football is rough and
tumble game, the great lesson OF
the gridiron may be put in single
line: 1t teaches that brains will
always win over muscle. But the
great merit of this game is its prac-
tical1y unlimited field of tactical de-
velopment. The fascinating study
of new movements and combinations
Is never exhausted. The cause OF
its attractiveness has it's parallel
in war. No pages of history are
more thHilling than those which
describe battles in which Napoleon
by scientific maneuvering and skill
full strategy outwits an opponen
of equal or superior strength,
Those who are disposed to mak'
scientific study of the game will
find that the popularity is not with
out reasonable warrant.

THE TELEGRAM'S TALE.

THE TELEGRAMS TALE.
The Portland Telegram S account
of the late local option trial in Cor
wallis, as telegraphed by that pa
pers local correspondent is one Of
the rare and unaccustomed things
occasionally encountered in human
experience. Speaking of the case,
the account says: cit is the gener-
al opinion of disinterested citizens
that the prosecution has made but
a weak case, as there has been no
direct evidence to connect the de-
PENDANTS with the specific crime al
legged"
With equal sincerity and truth
the correspondent might have add
ed that it is "also the general opin-
ion of disinterested citizenss that
every good horse has fourteen tails
and no legs. The strength of the
prosecution is best measured by Its
effect. These "disinterested" per-
sons will admit that Mr.. Wyatt,
defendants counsel, is an able law.
yer, and that he did all that was in
his power to make a defense. Yet
the case made by the prosecution
was so strong and so convincing
that the jury was only out long
enough to take one ballot and write
out verdict. consuming in fact
less than fifteen minutes of time.
In the face of such a fact, why seek
to belittle and nu1lify the efforts of
Mr.. Bryson. when he has the sym
pathy, confidence and support oi
every "disinterested citizen in the
community, and of nineteen-twen-
tieths of all the people in Benton
county in his splendid endeavor to
uphold and defend the law.
The worst feature of the account
however, is that it causes the Te1e'
gram to impose On its readers an
other statement that is excuseless
in its piebald falsity. 1t says
''Strong prohibition men, however
o1 the jury, make conviction
probable. Is w. 7. Small a pro

FOR 0. A. c. GRADUATES.
Lieutenantcies In Philippine Constab.
ularY-Lieat. Quinlin to Recon-

n pOSillOu dS tlllIu ll0uteudQt III
the Philippine constabulary is open
to one or more graduates of OAC.
twenty-five such third lieutenants
are to be appointed about the first
of the coming year, or when Briga-
dier General Allen. who is in COM
mand of the constabulary, arrives
at Washington D. c. The war de-
partment has issued orders for the
appointments to be made from grad
yates of military colleges of a GER
tain standard of efficiency in the
United States. There are nine such
colleges in the country, OAC, the
Iowa State College and the Michi-
gan Agricultural College being
among the number, and Lieuten-
ant Quinlin has received instruct
ions from the war department to
recommend one or more graduates
of OAC for the places.
Accompanying the instructions
to Lieutenant Quin1in, is informa-
ton with reference to the constab-
ulary, and the positions, the duties,
pay and other conditions. The or
ganization numbers 1000 men,
part of whom are mounted. Also
800 officers. from the rank of third
lieutenant to brigadier general in
command. The privates are native
Filipinos, drilled and commanded
by American officers. The organ
ization is the police force of the
Archipelago and details Of officers
and men are scattered through the
various islands.
The salary of the third lieuten-
ant is ST, 100 per year; second lieut.
enant, ST., 200; first lieutenant, ST.
900; and captain, $500. In order
to be appointed the applicant must
agree to serve at least two years.
After two years, the appointee will
be reimbursed by the government
for the amount of his travelling ex-
penses to the Islands, or the govern
ment will advance such travelling
expense and deduct it from the ap-
pointee wages, 10 per cent month
ly. At the end of two years a three
months furlough On full pay is al
lowed for visiting the United States
with two months half pay addition
al for travelling. Or, the furlough
may be allowed to accumulate and
at the end of five years a 'longer
vacation is permitted.
The service requires strong, in
telligent young men with good
nerve, for some of the service in
the field is attended with occasional
hardships and some hazard. The
instruction conclude with the state
ment that the conditions on the
Islands are constantly improving,
and that the duties of the constab-
ulary become constantly less ardu-
Gus.
Lietenant Quinlan yesterday re-
ceived his instructions, and in due
time will make recommendations
from among the OAC graduates.
The instructions were accompanied
by three blank forms for use of ap.
plicants, whence it is figured that
OAC stands a show of getting three
of these appointments.
The service, offers young men
with knowledge of electrical, min
ing and mechanical engineering,
great opportunities on account OF
the operations of corporations who
are exploiting the islands.

educational write-up of Oregon.
While every building that every
other institution can muster is fully
pictured, OAC, more than double
in attendance that of any other
school in the state, is represented
by wretched illustration of the
girls dormitory. Judged by the
write-up and illustrations, OAC is
about the least educational institu-
ton in Oregon, when in fact it has
more students than any two institu-
tions in the state, and in point of
endowme Mt, equipment and plant is
far in the lead of any other institu-

Keeping Hammer Down.

when / was in the pump business
in Indiana" said the man with the
two watch chains, 81 used TO drive all
over the country among the farmers.
One day I stopped at a farmhouse,
where they drew water from the well
by means of nail driven into pole.
The farmer told me he had been using
that pole for twenty-one years, and
when pointed out the inconvenience
of 1t, and told him how cheaply
would let him have pump, he replied:
Hammer, my old woman, allus
draws the water, and If / got a ptmp
with blue handle for her she'd feel SO
mighty stuck up over it that within
two weeks she'd want to turn me BUT
doors. No, sir. i've got to leave things

THE water deal which has been
pending between the Ditch CON-
pany and the Montezuma Valley
Irrigation district is all off for the
present at least, and now the blame
must be placed somewhere. The
representatives of the Ditch COM
pany say they called the PROPOSE
tion of because the directors for
the district were antagonistic to it.
The directors claim that they
signed the contract and were
anxious to have the people vote on
It. The plain truth is that neither
the Ditch company NOT the directors
of the district are to blame, it is
the people themselves. When the
people get together and stay to-
gether they can get whatever they
want in the way of an adequate
water supply comparatively cheap
SO long, however, as they are
divided they will get nothing, ex
eepting mud"

Orchards should never be irrigated
later than the last of August until the
leaves fall off, although the season may
require a quick wetting for trees in
bearing along about picking time.
Apples, peaches, pears and similar
fruits should be thoroughly irrigated
as soon as the leaves are brown or fall
off, then again in the spring as soon rs
the frost Is out of the ground. We
generally have enough rains through
September to mature the fruit when
irrigation of course is not necessary.
The irrigation at picking time is a
matter depending wholly upon the
condition Of the ground, atmosphere,
tree and fruit. If the latter does moi
pull of just right, and the touch Is
known to every experienced orchardist
the ground needs irrigating when in
two op three days the picking can pro
coed. Sometimes very great differ
ence is noticed in the way the fruit
comes off after irrigating. Field and

THE world has been made glad
by the news that the peace COM
mission at Portsmouth have agreed
upon terms and that the bloody
war between Russia and Japan is
at an end. There is certainly cause
for rejoicing and it is to be hoped
that the peace may be lasting.
But may there not be danger in
checking fever before it has run
Its course. The part which Presi-
dent Roosevelt has played and the
steps taken by other nations indi-
cate that in the not distant future
when two nations declare war all
the nations of the word will be in
volved in actual fighting and there
will be no neutral powers to enforce
the laws of modern warfare. Such
conditions will make war more
brutal than it now is.

An orchard well managed may be
made to pay several TIMES as much for
the land occupied and the labor spent,
as the best field on farm. But 1t will
be poor investment if 1t is neglected
and suffered to go to ruin. Cultiva-
ton is indispensable to enable the soil
to contribute its fertility to the trees.
The surface must not be left untouched
to become covered with rank weeds or
moss, or lie barren or bare. There Is
nothing better than crop Of clover,
and this should be permitted to lie
down and decay OH the surface. A
pillow should never be suffered in an
orchard. Only the surface should be
stirred, less the fine feeding roots may
be injured and the trees checked in
their growth.
