Football Men Good Students.

University of Oregon, Eugene
University of Oregon football men
during the season just past have
made good records in the class room
as we'll as on the football field. The
records of the Registrars Office show
that of the twenty men composing
the regular squad, only half dozen
have received grades as low as ID
in any of their subjects. There have
been no failures and their work as
whole compares favorably with
that of last year, when in the final
examinations in February, the foot
ball team ranked slightly better
than the average for the whole stu
dent body. The records show also
that for the two months just past,
football men have cut fewer classes
than any other class Of students. Re-
ports of absences of all students are
sent to the Registrar office daily
and a careful record is kept. The
University works on the theory that
students are there first to study, and
this means regular attendance at
classes.

Want Graduates tor Teachers.

University of Oregon, Eugene
The University of Oregon is exper-
fencing the largest demand in it's
history for graduates, both men and
women, to take principalships and
positions as teachers in the high
schools of the state. OF the fifty
three members of last years class,
twenty are teaching in the high
schools and colleges of Oregon and
the Northwest, and the demand was
much larger than the supply. At the
present time there are a number of
positions vacant because there is no
one available who is adequately pre-
pared to take them. The University
would be able next year to place as
teachers some forty or fifty men and
women, If it's graduating class fur
nished that number. The class of
1908 now numbers about sixty mem
hers

WOMEN IN TERROR.
Afraid for Thei- Lives Until Troops
Arrived in GoIdfield.

Goldfeld, New, Dec. 16.-Delega-
tions from the Woman's club, of Gold
field, and from the chamber of COM
merce, Merchants association and Min
ing exchange called on General Funston
this afternoon to acquaint him further
with the conditions which have prevail
ed in Golddeld previous to the coming
of the United States troops and the sit
uation which led to the sending of Gov
ernor Sparks dispatch to Washington
asking that troops be sent here. The
visit OF these delegations doubtless was
because Of the efforts that are constant
ly being made to have the troops
recalled.
General Funston said. after the con-
ferences were over, that the statements
were revelation, especially those made
by the women, who are wives of prom
inent citizens of Goldfeld. The state.
ments, he said, showed that for days
the women of Goldfield had lived in a
sta of constant terror, until the COM
ing Of the troops though no instances of
more than trivial annoyances
were cited.

MAKE CANADA INDEPENDENT
Destiny is Union With United States
or Monarchial Independence.

Ottawa, Ont, Dec. 16.-The indie.
pendence of Canada is now being open
ly discussed and in measure promoted
before some of the most important pub
lie bodies of the dominion. Today the
idea of Canada as nation is looming
large on the public mind, and it has in
a very short space of time marvelously
changed public sentiment in that re.
gard.
Speaking before the Canadian club at
Ottawa, j. S. Ewart, X. c., of Toronto,
predicted that Canada would yet fill an
independent position in the world.
Then che would pursue either one of
three courses-a union with the United
States as an independent republic, a
union with Great Britain az an inde-
pendent monarchy with her own SOW
ereign, or an independent monarchy
with allegiance to the British sovereign.
Canadian opposition against the inn
perial government was directed not
against the king. but against the colo
nial secretary, who is generally ignor-
ant of colonial matters.

Men Do More Work.

Klamath Falls,-J. D. Church, as
sistant engineer of the Southern Pa
cifc, has just returned from the end OF
the California Northeastern railway
and states that the $50 men now at
work for Ericsson & Peterson, the con-
tractors, are doing more work than the
l 100 men they were working last sum-
mer. The grade between Bray and the
first towpsite, Mount Hebron, is about
completed, and Mount Hebron may re-
main the terminus of the road for this
winter. However, as Doris is only IS
miles distant from Mount Hebron and
the grade very easy, that town may be
the terminus.

WILL DO Nothing.
Small Chance Congress Will Reform
Currency

Washington, Dec. 16.-It can Re
stated on the highest authority that il
the subcommittee of the house commit
tee on banking and currency now deal
ing with the subject can have its way
no effort will be made by the present
congress to adopt legislation remedial
of the present financial condition. All
the energies of that committee will be
directed toward the framing and pass
age of laws more general in character
and which will be intended to preclude
shrinkage of the circulation, entailing
widespread financial distress.
The subcommittee held four hours
conference today with its chairman,
Representative Fowler, of New Jers sy,
at which the bill which the subccm-
mittee has undertaken to draft was
earnestly discussed. but no decision as
to its precise character and scope was
reached. 1t is not likely the subcom-
mittee will be ready to report on the
bill until after the holidays. Men high
in the world of finance will be given an
opportunity to appear before the COM
mittee to present their views on the
proposed measure.
Much time will be spent in both the
house and senate in considering the bill
when reported, and it is the hope of
the members of the banking committee
that the finances of the country will
have go adjusted themselves by that
time that there will be no necessity Tor
legislation looking to the correction of
present conditions.

New Use of EPSON Salts.

New York, Dec. 17.-Announcement
Of the discovery of the new anaesthetic,
according to the American today, will
soon be made by the Rockefeller Insti-
tute for Medical Research. The new
anaesthetic is nothing else than plain,
common salts. or, to give it its scientific
name, sulphate of magnesia. 1t was
discovered by DR.. Samuel !. Meltszer,
one of the Rockefeller experimenters.
Its greatest value is that it permits any
sort of operation without any danger to
the heart of the patient, as is the case
with other anaesthetics.

search in mines No 6 and of the
Fairmount Coal company for victims
of last Fridays explosion was suspend

bodies. Three hundred and twenty

ROOSEVELT AS A SAINT.
Russian Peasants Worship Picture Of
President

President
San Francisco, Dec. 17.-Americans
think great deal Of President Theo.
dore Roosevelt, but it has been reserv-
ed for the Russian peasants settled in
Eastern Siberia to reverence the well
known picture, which shows the gleam
of teeth, as that of saint. That they
do so is asserted to be fact by Alex
ander G. Denbigh, who arrived on the
steamer Siberia, and is now staying at
the st. Francis hotel.
"The people there are Of the lowest
class of Russian peasants, and know
nothing about the outside world, ,"
said Denbigh. "In every house, no
matter how poor it may be, there is
sure to be an ikon of some kind, and if
it is possible for the owner OF the
place, he also has picture of saint.
1.-The picture of our president has
gone over the world, and can be found
in many queer places. I remember
asking one of my men from the Ural
mountain district, who had never
heard of Roosevelt, what picture he
had inshis tent. He at once told me
that it was one of St. Peter-without
the beard and with specs on. Curious
to see such picture, / went to the hut
and found that it was chrome of the
president of the United States. The
man assured me that he had the best OF
good fortune since he had obtained the
picture of the holy saint "

Southern Oregon Hopes for Lessened
Rates in Competition.

Grants Pass - The announcement
through the press that Moffatt 4 White

has been received here with the great

of the citizens that some day another
transportation company would find its
way into the valley.
The annulling of trains IL and IL by
the Southern Pacific company has
aroused the people to greater activity
and to stand ready to offer an induce
ment to competing line. The re-
sources from the mills and mines and
the products of the field have been car.
ried for years by one railroad company,
with charges running up into thou.
