New Arrangement for Entering the
University of Oregon.
The following letter from President
p. l. Campbell OF the University Of
Oregon, has a significance Of value TO
many young people Of Astoria who as
pire to university advantages in the
near future. II is addressed TO Prof.
Garman, who is doing his duty in the
premises:
"Eugene, Ore, Dec. 30. 1905.
"Mr. /. \. Garman, Principal Of High
School, Astoria, Oregon.
Dear Sir:-will you kindly call the
attention Of your mid.year graduating
class to the fact that under the new ar
rangement Of courses at the University
Of Oregon il is possible for student to
enter the university TO good advantage
at the beginning Of the second semester
Monday February 10TH.
ut often happens that students are
Obliged TO miss a half.year at some
time during their course in the uniyer'
sity, in which event the half.year gain
ed by entering in the spring proves Of
much value 10 them in preventing an
inconyenient delay in graduation.
"A sufficient number Of. freshman
courses in the university are arranged
on the semester plan to enable stu.
dent entering in February to avail him

Il am reliably informed that the ter
ritory between Astoria and Tllamook
and from the coast line TO the William
nett Valley contains the largest and
most valuable body Of standing timber
in Oregon, and that railroad from
Astoria and Tllamoek would practi
cally control the whole output from
that region.

Try. NON SUBSCRIBER"
Here is a cheerful and encouraging
note for You, This Is the kind of
pluck that makes for good citizenship
and the success of local. commercial
effort, The Astorian Is as susceptible
to cheer as anybody, especially on a
matter of such downright importance
as is this road TO Tillamock. !,
II is not seeking to enrich itself in
the earnest endeavor to start public
recognition and backing for this fine
project; other than that which may
accrue to Il by reason Of the local ex,
pansion consequent upon the fuliillment
of the plan. The Astorian is simply
Astorian enough to lend It's voice and
influence to anything essentially As
torian; and the railroad TO the Nehalem
and to Tillamook Is. far and away, the
paramount scheme within the public
purview at present,
The least that can be done by such
an idea as this, Is to give II timely and
tenchant thought and the considera.
ton that belongs, at all times, TO
questions Of popular concern, balance
the positive and negative issues involv'
ed in il, making due Use Of each and
every conclusion for and against Il.
and sum up the residium, II this Is
found to make for the potency and
profit OF the undertaking then there Is
no alternative left to the honest and
up. .to.date citizen, but to sail in and do
his utmost for the enterprise II the
final conclusion shall be against the
plan il is quite simple matter TO drop
IL.
The Astorian is going to give a few
days for just such thought as is here
suggested and win then seek positive
and personal expression from sources
to be intimately partial to the
prosperity of Astoria, aud the consen'
sus Of opinion then brought to light
win govern its future treatment OF the
matter.
But, in any premise. be il understood
that this paper viii not yield one iota
of its abounding faith in the necessity
and feasibility OF the road, nor in the
fundamental prerequisite for an As
toria initiative. This faith will endure
until the day the hast rail Is laid and
the first trains enter its terminals,
AND THEN SOME.

remarks. read the tale of woe of
old Subscriber about railroad mat

'old story as to how the Astoria and

the non-fulfillment Of his hopes incident
thereto.
Il beg to tender my sincere respects
and sympathy to old Subscriber and
his eompatriats, realizing the earnest
and strenuous work that must have
been necessary. to overcome the oppo-
sition to the scheme by Portland capi'
talists, and others, who thought their
business interests and investments
would be injured by the building of a
railroad to Astoria.
Il have no doubt the opposing par
ties now see their error and are pleas

how Astoria got her railroad does not
interest me very much. What |, as a

A Laugh on Somebody.

The United States won't have the
Chinese coolies within her borders be-
cause they are not good enough men to
mix up with the white races which
own this territory. But Chinese Drawn
would be very welcome, perhaps. in
digging the Panama canal, and ex-
pertinent is to be made with this class
OF long despised labor on the isthmus.
IL may turn out failure or it may
simulate competition and bring to the
work the muscle of other nationalities.
Surely the Chinese philosophers at
nome must laugh at the idea that Amer
lea must turn to what it once indig-
nantly cast out, as q last resort. And
they will laugh again if somehow the
Chinese coolies fail to make good and
the canal work still goes begging.
At first blush American organized
labor will be chagrined at the spectacle
OF Asiatics in the pay Of the United
States government But after all the
incident appears like a tribute to hu-
man muscle and shows that labor is
the key to the arch Of progress and
prosperity. Independent of the element
OF competition in the presence of
swarms Of Chinese in this country they
are not wanted on the ground of i'm
morality, their own racial exclusive
ness and failure to assimilate with the
population. their blind allegiance to
China and to Chinese customs. But
impossible as they have proved to be
for American citizenship, they carry
beneath their yellow hides something
that seems to be needed, if not essen
tial, in putting through a tough job.

The Boer Coming to His Own.

The Boer Coming to His Own.
Naturally there are calamity howlers
tn England now that the Liberal minis
try has kept faith with the Beers by
giving them the Irresponsible govern
ment' promised before the last nation
al elections. Former Premier Balfour,
who temporized with the question
while in power; Kipling, the poet Of
Imperialism, with big I, and Miner,
former high commissioner Of South
Africa, all denounce the new policy
for the Transvaal as premature, dan
gerous and pernicious. We shall learn
in time how these doleful prophecies
turn out.
True to their name, the Liberals of
England believe in man and therefore
are convinced that decent treatment of
the Boer will bring peace to the Trans
vaal and Boer and Briton will settle
down in peace Under the new con-
stitution all males over twenty-one
years Of age may vote, and the basis
Of representation in the colonial legis-
lature is to be the number of voters,
not the population, in each electoral
district. In some districts the Eng
lish voters are in the majority, while
in others the Boer element predomi-
mates. The Beers may not elect a ma
jority of the legislators at the first
election, but eventually should be able
cruit the ranks of voters, while the
English settlers do not, as rule, and

promising patriot as any who Shout

Labor Waking Up.

Lahor's strong showing at the last
national election in Great Britain
brought out boldly the contrast be-
tween the political activities of the
workingmen in the United Kingdom
and the United States. The laborites
turned up in the new Liberal parlia-
ment with following big enough to
Swing legislation. In this country the
labor vote has long acted Indirectly
that Is, siding with one Of the regular
parties when wishing to be counted at
all. 1t has even been the policy Of la
Dor leaders to discourage their unions
from meddling with general politics.
Recently a call has been made for la .
Dor tickets with labor candidates who
Aold union cards, showing that they
are bona fde members Of the wage
earning class. This policy if followed
up through series Of elections would
enable the unions to prove their voting
strength. The result might not be sat-
isfactory to labor leaders because feal-
ty to political party is a trait that
the American workingman will not
lightly abandon, and in the long run
class voting would not be desira BILE
here. Voters Of all ranks should now
combine and now divide upon policies
aiming to bring about justice and op-
portunity for the greatest number. The
labor vote, whatever it's strength, can
easily multiply itself by drawing non
labor votes to it's cause through SYM
pathy. Society cannot ignore the rights
Of labor, and would not If it could. By
speaking up at the right time and in
the right way labor's voice will be
heard and, what is more to the point,
heeded.

The prospects Of a bumper wheat
crop this year lead to speculations as
to what will follow-increased expor-

normal We'll eat the most of ours, but

An instance of what intense inter-
nationalism might lead to is furnished
by the protest Of the German general
press and trade organs against the
presence Of foreign students in the
German universities, commercial and
technical schools. German exporters
complain that the nation is educating
and raising up competitive talent to
be used against its own commerce in
the foreign markets of the world. In
other words, foreign students take adj
vantage Of German iberality to learn
how to beat German merchants in the
race for trade.
