Sweep of the TWo-cent
Fare.

AhC pOpuidilGJ Ol edO A-SCi'0
passenger fare is taking like an
epidemic. Nothing seems to
stand in the way of its progress. /.
1t is evidently generally recog-
nized that the time is ripe for its
adoption, and the states are fall
ing into line day after day.
Six states have already acteo
within the past two weeks, or
given evidences of action which
means the 2-cent fare will soon
be adopted. Others have the
matter under present or prospec-
tive confederation with the light
of widespread example before
them.
Nebraska and Mississippi are
the latest to take action, follow
ing Alabama, Missouri, Wesl
Virginia and Pennsylvania. In
most of these cases the adoption
has come through legislative ae-
ton, but in one, at least, that oil
Mississippi, it was brought about
by the order of the state railroad
commission.
1t is interesting to note in the
Mississippi case, too, that sever
al of the railroads have promptly
signified their willingness tc
adopt the rate without protest,
and it is not expected there will
be any Injunction proceedings
restraining the commission from
enforcing its order.
There is, indeed, no good rea-
son that we can see why the
railroads should attempt to block
this legislst in. 1t is an inevits

them, and they might as wei
gracefully accede to it. The de,

Tire Soul and the Beard,

In Russia it was the common belief
up to the time of Peter the Great that
beardless men were also soulless and
that IL man who purposely admitted
having his beard marred could never
enter heaven. The great Peter above
referred to ordered his heathens to
shave up" so as to appear more civil
llzed, and when they refused to comply
with his edict he fined the wealthy and
middle classes 100 rubles for each
beard that was permitted to grow and
each peasant and laborer a kOpeck for
the same privilege. Finally the priests
were appealed to- and they Informed
their Pensioners that unless they sub
mitted to having their boards shaved
they need not expect that st. Nicholas,
the gatekeeper of heaven, would be
able to distinguish them from the
bearded Turks. That had the desired
effect

The trial in the case of the Grand

set for November Is by Judge Fox OF

The case promises to be one or the
hardest fought legal battles ever wag-
ed in the local court. The railroad
commission will be represented by
large array of legal talent as will the
railroad companies. The question OF
the overhead crossing has long been
discussed at Decatur and owing to the
narrow escapes from wrecking at the
point of contention, ali are loud In
their demands for better conditions.
Local railroad. as well as railroad
officials of the state lines, are awaiting

official said, the case will largely de.
termine the power of the railroad com.
mission to order such crossings such
places in the state as they may be

work for each overhead crossing costs
hundreds of dollars, the railroads have

wins the suit. orders for overhead
crossings everywhere will result.

Raw Meat for tuberculosis.

In order to ascertain the value
of raw meat in the treatment of
tuberculosis, which has lately
come into vogue on the CONT
nent, a series of experiments on
dogs were undertaken by Richet,
the results of which have just
been published in the Journal of
the French academy, says an ex-
CHI hauge.
The author decla. es that these
experiments snow raw meat to
have great value as. an aid to re-
cuperation, and that its merit lies
more in the naturS of the food
than in the amount of protein it
nav contain. That is to say the
same quantity of nutrients in
raw and cooked meats do not
give the same results.
A number of animals were fed
on restricted diets made up tor
different periods OF raw meat,
porridge, consisting OF rice, milk
and sugar, cooked meats and
cheese. The animals fed on a
mixed diet remained in good
condition. The animals ted on
porridge died before the termiua-
'lon of The experimental period.
Animals fed On cooked meat
lost 90 per cent in weight, while
the raw meat animals maintained
a constant weight and rapidly re-
covered after periods Of fasting or
undernutritiou on other diets.

At the Skating Rink.

Rare sights are seen these days
at the Corvallis skating rink,
where men, women and children
are making desperate effort to
become graceful skaters. Men
who are by nature modest and
retiring forget all bashfulness and
go through stunts before a crowd
ed house that rival anything ever
seen in Oregon, if not on earth.
One fellow who put On the rollers
one day last week is said to have
gone through all the movements
usually made by a man fighting
yellow jackets, and In addition to
swinging his arms and striking
wildly with his feet. he got in
some remarkable side twists and
lunges OF the body that were the
amaLement of all beholders.
Another person is said to have
strongly resembled the move
meuts of Dutch windmill in
full operation, while on all sides
stunts more or less remarkable
were constantly taking place.
In the forenoons the ladies of
the city have been allowed to
skate tree, in order to learn, and
the way some of them have jar
red the rink in alighting has Gre
ated much admiration of their
courage in returning again to
the task OF learning.
The small boy is there in all
his glory and OF course he can
skate. Not infrequently he is
asked to escort some 2os-power
female infant around the rink on
her trial trip, and comes in at
the finish exhausted but enthu-
siastic, for by all who have tried
skating there is only one verdict
it is simply the finest amuse-
menc in Corvallis.

Gone to Debate.

The debaters who will repre-
sent th> University of Oregon in
the interstate debate champion
ship of the Rocky Mountain re-
gion and the Pacific North west
with the University of Utah, left
for Salt Lake Saturday. The
two men are F. V. Galloway, Of
McMinnville, and J. c. Veatch,.
of Cottage Grove. The former
was leader of the negative team
in the try-state league, and the
latter OF the affirmative.
The debate which the men
will take part in on April 26,
will probably be the most im-
portant one ever held on the Pa
ci6c Coast, for the reason that
both institutions which the teams,
represent are champions of the
respective sections.
The question will be exactly
the same as debated with Wash
iugton and Idaho, the repeal of
the fifteenth, and clause of the
fourteenth amendments. While
Oregon won on both sides of the
question, it is generally consider
ed that the side-the negative
adverse to the repeal, is the
strong st, and that side Oregon
will have it in this debate
