HAVE COCK FIGHTS.
Young Boys do-Not Particular About
Whose Birds They Playa
Fair Warning.

A mania for cock fighting is said
to possess Corvallis youth. The
malady is spreading, and it is be-
cause of that. this news item is
printed. Chief Lane desires public
attention directed to the matter, so
that fathers and mothers may aid
in breaking up the business.
The trouble in the matter is that
the business has become so siren
uous that the lads, good big lads at
that. have exhausted their own
supply of game birds and are using
other peoples roosters for carrying
on the sport. Complaints oi the
loss of cocks are coming in to Off
GERS from all over town. One
game bird pen has lost three fine
cocks in past weeks. Along with
these reports come information
about cock fights with youths and
small boys at the ring side in TAM
lily barns all over town, Accord
ing to accounts a bird does not
have to be game IN order to 1n-
sure that he viii be stolen for
fighting purposes. Any old roost-
er that looks like he can put up a
good fight and is convenient fo1
violent hands to be laid on him is
in danger of being shanghaid.
The officers propose to stop the
business. There are ordinances
under which prosecutions can be
made for fighting the birds. There
are all sorts Of laws against steal
ing them. This fair warning is
published so parents will have nc
excuse for complaint in case their
boys show up in the police court
in the near future, as defendants
in bad case of chicken-fghting,-
or rooster stealing.

COSTLY EDUCATION.

They are modest requests that
the educational institutions make
at Salem for state aid. Figures for
the narma1 schools run like this:
Monmouth, SIS, 900; Ashland, $3S,
4so; Weston, SIS, Drain, $40,
600. The aggregats|or the four
Normals is but little short of a
quarter of million dollars.
Then there comes the state uni
versity. It starts off with request
of $o5, 900 for maintenance. $50,
600 more is wanted for improve
ments. Twenty five thousand is
asked for a bureau of mines and IS
900 for a wood testing machine.
The fancied requirements of the
university total up more than do
the four Normal schools or in round
numbers just about quarter of a
million dollars. Specifically stated
the sum is $224, 900. The univer-
sity had last year 22o students in
its collegiate and academic depart
ment. A thousand dollars for each
student in attendance at the insti-
tuition is expensive education. II
is cheaper, however, than education
at the Drain Normal school. The
last legislature gave that institution
$25, 200, and last year the school
turned out two normal graduates,
at cost of $12, 500 each.
The Agricultural College is a
petitioner for $50, 900 for a woman's
building and $4,000 for drill
shed. 1t is to receive besides SIS,
600 for maintainance, making a to-
tai Of Sis, for the two years
The grand total asked for all the
institutions is $ooo,oo figure
that on its face is absurd. The one
reasonable claim in the batch i:
OAC, which is backed by student
enrolment of 634, almost, if no
quite as many students as all the
rest of the institutions combined.
Fortunately, the legislature
threatens to cut out the Drain nor
NAL. An act like that and anothe,
one pairing down other of these de
mands to within reasonable Limits
