SHEEP ARE
GOLDEN
An Industry Making Rich All
Who Are Engaged In 1t,
Says Phoenix Republican

1T is out of sight this year,
said Hon. w. A. Morgan yester-
day in speaking of the sheep
business. Mr.. Morgan went on
to say that there had never be-
fore in the history of the indus
try in this territory oeen such a
prosperous year for the sheep
men. He said that those who
had brought from the northern
ranges even as few as 5000
sheep, had been put beyond the
reach of further effort in this
life, that is if they would be
contented with as much of the
worlds goods as any man needs
Mr.. Morgan is a heavy sheep
owner but he left most of his
sheep in the north last fall,
bringing only about 1900 to the
valley. He participates in the
prosperity to that extent.
There are altogether in the val
lev now about 100000 head.
The price for wool this sea-
son is the highest it has been in
twenty years. The top price
so far paid is 194 cents, The
lowest so far paid is a little
more than 16 cents. The clip
of Campbell, Francis & Pollock
from $4,000 sheep, amounting to
about a quarter of million
pounds, has been sold at 198
But the great source OF profit
is not the higher price of wool
but the great advance in the
price of sheep themselves.

The NEW CLUB.
The Corvallis Athletic and
Social Club.

Saturday articles of 1ncorpora-
ton were filed with the county
clerk and secretary of state by
which act the Corvallis Social
and Athletic Club is brought in
to existence. The incorporates
arr c. c. Geer, president; Mer-
win McMaines, vice-president,
and Mike Kline, secretary.
The club will occupy the build
ing formerly occupied by Ben
Woldt as a saloon. 1t is thought
it will be open today o. tomor-
row.
A sort of gymnasium will be
maintained and all fixtures, ap-
paratus and parapbeTnslia tor
athletic contests will be installed
and refreshments will be served.
1t is to be open only to members
of the club and in choosing new
mem bers the club will use the
ballot system of other social or
ders. The club and order of run
ming the SINE is patterned after
the Arlington CLUB of Portland.
Each member will be assessed
regularly-pay dues the same as
he would in any order he might
join. He will have a locker to
which he will hold the key and
it is claimed that what he may
have in the locker is a matter
wholly of his own business. A
steward will be in attendance al
all times to look after the interest
and welfare of the members.
There are said to be in the
neighborheod of IS or 100 char.
ter members. 1t is the intention
to allow nobody admission to the
club who are known as chronic
"drunks." In this matter nc
attention is being paid to the
charter law or authority of Cor.
Wallis. The club is incorporated
and will be run in accordance
with the laws of the State oi
Oregon. The club is now ready
to accept new members.

AS NOW PLANNED.

There is something unusual in
the attitude of some leading poll
ticians throughout the state re-
garding the primary election law.
Here is a law that some of our
leading statesmen are striving to
defeat even before it has been
tried. It is now proposed to hold
conventions in the same old way.
What is gained by the passage
of a law that is never given a
fair trial? The intent of the
primary law is to give all a square
deal. Such being the case, the
scheme of certain leaders ap-
pears to be to defeat that which
was intended as fair for all-es-
pecially before the primary sys-
tenn has been tried and found
wanting.
The people have a right under
the circumstances to be suspi-
cious, for the attitude Of these
leaders excite belief that the de-
feat of a just law is the end
sought. With SO many of our
leading office-holders and other
men of wide acquaintance in the
state under Indictment at pres
ent, one is forced to the convic-
tion that corruption is rampant
and the time is ripe for the peo-
pie to raise their voices. No
man seeking to defeat the pri-
mary law before it has had fair
trial is going to strengthen him
self with the public. This law
may be a bad one, but the proper
and upright thing . DO is to give
it a trial.

WE CAN STAND 1T.

On account Of certain preju-
dices aroused in China, more
largely in Shanghai than else
where, the children of the celes-
tial kingdom now propose to boy
colt the United States. In fact,
the boycott is already on, if one
is to believe reports.
By this action there is lit
tie doubt but the United States
will lose, but China will suffer
more largely than we will in the
long run. We. have been send
ing China great quantities Of ma
terials and goods Of various char
acter each year and at most rea-
sonable figures. Considering the
quality of our exports, our prices
could not be met by any country
in Europe, and this has aroused
the jealousy Of Germany, Eng
land and France. China is now
playing into the hands of these
peoples.
The Chinese now claim to be
indignant over the matter of the
exclusion of themselves from this
country. They fancy their dig
nifty has been hurt. This sentl-
ment is more largely due to the
attitude of the San Francisco la
Dor unions than any other cause.
While they may not be aware of
the fact, they are playing right
into the hands Of the Frisco
unionists, for in boycotting this
country they antagonize elements
known to be friendly to the IN
stitution of a new treaty between
this country and China-a treaty
whereby China was to receive
more liberal terms for certain
classes of her subjects, such as
students, merchants, travellers,
scientists and the like.
So far as throwing down the
bars to countless millions of
China S coolie element is concern
ed, it is safe to predict that this
country will never act with such
madness. Any Mongolian seek
ing to bring such a state Of af-
fairs about by aiding and abett-
ing the scheme Of our European
rivals may as well save himself
the effort. An open door for
Chinese offscourings! Never.

Have Incorporated.

For some time in the past the
college Y M c A and various
students and citizens have in
terested themselves in the matter
of securing a student building at
the college. In this endeavor
they have encountered and over
come many obstacles and it now
seems that their efforts are to
bear fruit.
Friday, articles of incorpora-
ton OF the Student Building Asso-
citation of the State Agricultural
College of Oregon were filed
with Clerk Moses. The incor-
porators are E. R. Lake, Arthur
G. B. B.Bouquet and c. L. Shepard.
THE object of the incorporation
shall be the erection, equipment
and management of student
building at the State Agricultur-
al College of Oregon"
The value of all property
possessed by the incorporation at
the time of filing articles was
placed at $I2, 900. The articles
further state that the building is
to be located on college land.
The building as proposed is in-
tended for many purposes; set
OF bath rooms, gymnasium, a
number of rooms for the various
college societies, a general as
sembly room and place for re-
ligious services. In tact, many
uses are planned for the building.
When work of construction will
begin is not yet determined so
far as we have been able to learn.

seven rooms of the buildings which the
Union is fixing up on the property recent

Tiers and bishops, being mostly old
men before they were elected to their
high Offices, were glad to use their
sticks, or crOzicrs, TO assist them In
walking when visiting their dioceses.
In some quaint old Illuminated manu-
scripts these sticks have pieces OF cloth
attached to them, the evident purpose
being that the bishops might wipe their
pcrspiring faces.
Later there came bitter strife be-
tween the sccptcr and the crozicr. and

Classical Quotation.

One of the lost arts today is that of
classical quotation. Oratory more
than any other branch, Of literary art
varies with the changes OF fashion and
taste, but i'll no single respect do the
parliamentary speeches OF today differ
from those Of hundred years ago
more than in the want of quotations
from the classics. AS Bishop Weldon
points out in the nineteenth century,
classical quotation was fine art once;
It was cultivated and admired: II was
source of pleasure and influence and
distinction; it was the dividing line be-
tween culture and Ignorance, and not
TO use it or not to appreciate it was TO
incur the dread and dismal censurc of
being commonplace The art Of quo
tation is lost now; no one thinks OF try
ing to revive ii, and few persons even
regret it. Tho golden age of quotation
WAS the eighteenth century. Every cdu-
Gated gentleman could quote Latin
then, AMI not few quoted 1t easily
anu habitualiy. Lord Holland and
Charle.; James Fox at times almost
convcrscd i'll Virgil, and DR.. Johnson
and Oliver Goldsmith on one occasion

tion. In recent times Mr.. Gladstone
frequently used with great effect Il
quotation from the classics, and the
last and greatest of his quotations was
