John Lovett Morse of Boston whose
subject was the protection of children
against tubercualr infection. DR..

that hereditary tuberculosis was almost
unknown but child should be taken
from tubercular patients at the earli-
est moment to prevent natural contag-
ion.

Mr. Heath spoke of the qualifications
a speaker should have. He said a
speaker should have strong, steady
nerve, a good voice, strong character,
good sense Of humor and above all
a command Of simple English. He
considered the last as the most i'm
portant and urged college men who
intended to fit for speaking to acquire
it by careful study. recommending a
study of the Bible. Latin and Greek
and Shakespeare. He said also that a
man should have a firm conviction of
right in his subject.
The address was largely attended,
the debating rooms being crowded with
students and members of the faculty.
An additional feature of the evening
was the presentation of gold medals
to the members of the victorious de-
batting team. These medals have been
given during the last three years TO
the members of the team representing
Bowdoin in intercollegiate debate by
an alumnuS who wishes his name with

the teams win and silver when the

decision handed down by the
supreme court calls attention to a
form of contract often made by farm
ers, with unsatisfactory consequences.
A cattleman entered into a contract
for the sale of a specified number Of
cattle of specified kind, and accepted
part payment ON the contract. When
the cattle were driven up for inspec
tion the buyer rejected large percent
of them upon the ground that they
did not come up to the requirement Of
the contract. The cattleman thought
they were as good as the contract
called for, and a lawsuit resulted.
Possibly the buyer was unjust, per.
baps he was mistaken in his judg-
ment, and maybe he was right and
the cattleman overestimated the quail
ty of his stock. But whatever the
merits of the controversy, it serves to
show the folly of that form of con-
tiact. If the buyer must 90 and in
spect the stock, as he did, why not let
him inspect them before contract is
made and then purchase only such as
meet his needs? The same oontro-
versies have arisen over the purchase
of hops. wool, sheep, and all kinds Of
fruit. When a hopgrower contracts
for the delivery of choice hops be puts
thesbuyer in an advantageous position.
If prices go up the buyer can demand
delivery. If prices go down, he can
find fault with the quality. Not all
buyers act upon such business prin-
ciples, but the grower gives them the
opportunity. Quite likely the grower,
if he really delivered hops of the
quality agreed upon, could enforce bis
contract in the courts, but he will
suffer loss rather than throw himself
into the uncertainties of litigation.
The point to be emphasized is that the
grower should avoid contract that
leaves room for litigation. If possible,
the crop should not be sold until in
the bale. Then the buyer can inspect
it as to quality before buying. Very
frequently farmer will secure bet.
ter price by selling a crop he has moi
yet produced. but he takes the chance
of controversy over the quality of BIZ
goods. The man who sells what b.
does not yet own, or who sells goods o.
a guaranteed quality, invites trouble
and must not re surprised If he get

way between this town and Alba,
and extending along the North Fork
of the John Day, down as far as the
Strawberry mountains, gives assur-
ance Of not only the building of the
Pilot Rock branch line, but the ex-
tension of this SO called branch line
south as far perhaps as the California
line That it is the intention to reach
the timber belt the haste with which
the timber land is being searched out
and fled upon is given as the strongest
argument in support of this claim.
The Record is informed that already
all the timber land outside the re-
serve, in the vicinity of the Middle
Fork.of the John Day is in the hands
of private parties. What is lett be-
tween here and there is being secured
as fast as the La Grande land Office
can take in the money.
A road through to the John Day
will be of incalcnlable benefit to East
ern Oregon. With timber and water
at hand comfortable living can be
made from small holdings, and the
fame of that county has already gone
abroad as a dairy and live stock
country. With a railroad we predict
larger population in Camas prairie
than in any other section of equal size
in the entire state. With wood and
water man need not starve to death,
nor freeze to death, on 100 acres. Give
US railroad to Camas prairie and the
John Day and we will hold our own in
point of population with the sand
dune country soon to be irrigated in
the neighborhood of Echo. In addi-
tion we will furnish them with wood
at &S per cord.
