The city council adjourned
and appeared before the League,
presenting the matter of granting
a thirty year franchise to M.
Welch of Salem for an electric
light and power plant. A two
hours discussion was held, but a
motion to vote on the matter was
laid on the table, it being the
opinion of the League that the
council, which has made study
of the matter, is better fitted to
decide it than is the League.

The committee found it neces-
sary to revise the inheritance tax
so that it will come nearer to
filing the purpose for which it
was intended, the production of
revenues from inheritances. We
have provided that the state as
an interested party shall be rep
resented at the FIRST appraisement
of all estates Of over $40, 900 by
the local attorney of the State
School Land Board, and by
abolishing all limitations so that
all heirs will pay the small sum
of per cent on the amount of
property inherited. Heirs of the
second degree of consanguinity
pay per cent on the amount in
herited, and all others pay 3 per
cent, including bodies corporate,
and for sums over $40, 900 and as
high as 500, 900 graduated tax
until 10 per CENTS reached.
The committee adopted the
Iowa law for the assessment and
valuation of railroad property,
by creating the governor, secre-
tary of state and state treasurer a
state executive council and giving
them authority to ascertain and
and determine the value of all
railroad property in the state,
based on reports of earnings and
other information required under
the decisions of the supreme
Under this system a rail-
road is treated as a continuous
piece of property, and the assess
ed value per mile is the same for
the entite length thereof. This
is the law Of California and
nearly all of the other states.

Mid=Winter Meeting.

The January meeting of the
board of regents of the State Ag-
ricultural College of Oregon oc-
Cured in this city Wednesday;
of the twelve members of the
board seven were in attendance.
Governor Chamberlain was not
present. The meeting is report
ed to be very harmonious one
and the usual routine of business
was attended.
Perhaps, in fact, in all likeli-
hood, in the future history of this
great institution the meeting of
Wednesday will figure as a most
notable one. On recommend
alton of President Catch, a fifth
year was added to the course of
instruction at the college for
those who desire it. There are
two courses-Mathematical and
applied sciences. The branches
embraced are mathematics,
chemistry, mining. mechanical,
electrical and agricultural. The
new degrees conferred will be for
civil engineering, mining engi-
neering, electrical engineering,
chemical engineering and agri-
cultural engineering.
The fifth year in no wise inter-
fers with the issuance of degrees
for the four-year course and the
latter will be maintained as here
tofore. There has been a great
demand for this additional year
in the aforementioned branches
and many students have gone
abroad on account of not being
able to secure degrees for the
fifth years work in case they re-
mained for it. From now on
they will receive recognition for
their work and new appliances
will be added to render the work
of higher order than has been
possible in the past, At present
there are many students doing
hfth-year work at OAC.
The matter of granting a right
of way across the college farm to
the Corvallis Water Commission
for the installation of the Rock
Creek system came up before the
board and the president and sec
retary of that body were instruct
ed to negotiate and are further
authorized to sign such contract
in the matter as may seem fitting
to them.
