County High School Organization.

THE GAZETTE is just in receipt
OF the September number OF the
University of Oregon Bulletin,
which treats of Country High
School Organization and Train
ing of Teachers" and is one of
the most valuable bulletins re-
Gently issued by the University,
for those interested in the bet
terment of our rural schools. It
contains an exhaustive account
of the methods adopted by other
states for the training of teach
ers, and discusses fully the So
called Lane county plan for the
establishment of country high
schools. To quote from it:
''This plan will allow country
districts to organize high
schools, as the tuition is to be
paid by the whole county. The
country high school can have as
good a teacher as the city high
school. Inasmueh as this plan

Oregon and California
Will Join Hands.
STATE ROAD is FEASIBLE
$3,000.O00 Has Been Appro-
priated --- Immediate Steps
Will he Taken.

Important in Oregon from the
outset, the Crater Lake to
klamath Fails road enterprise
now assumes the nature of an
interstate project, the highway
commission appointed by Gov
ernor Chamberlain assertaining
yesterday that connection Of
Oregon's proposed beauty road
with the state road of California,
for which $4,000, 900 has been
appropriated is feasible. Inn
mediate steps will be taken to
confer with authorities of the
Golden State to the end that
California and Oregon may col.
laborate and through their joint
efforts perfect what may right
fully be termed a boulevard
from Harriman's retreat at Peli-
can Bay to the City of Million
airs, Pasadena, nine miles from
Los Angeles.
"No greater enterprise has
ever been fathered," said Judge
George T. Baldwin yesterday,
''and the possibilities are so vast
it is impossible for Oregon to
measure its worth"
While the connection OF Ore
gan's proposed road with Cali
fornia's through state highway
,is a feature of the deliberations
of the highway commission; it is
not as yet 'uppermost in the
minds OF the. road enthusiasts.
With them actual construction
Of Oregon's road is foremost,
when it is complete its union
with Caliiornis's hi ghway will
be but small task.

A Big Injunction Suit.

Suit to enjoin the Lebanon
Lumber Company from contin-
uing the construction of big
storage. pond, for logs, now be-
ing built southeast of Lebanon,
was begun in the state circuit
court at Albany last Friday by
the Lebanon Paper Company,
which operates the big paper
mills at this place. 1t is claimed
that the pond, if constructed as
planned, will change the chan
mel of the south Santiam river,
and ruin the paper company's
dam N that stream and the pow
er canal to the mills. Big inter-
ests are involved and the suit
probably inaugurates a vigorous
contest.

CAKE SURRENDERS
Nervous Breakdown Forces
State Chairman to Quit.

All the machinery of the Re-
publican party of Oregon has
been surrendered by State
Chairman w. M. Cake to an.
executive committee, and Chair
man Cake will take no part in
the Presidential Campaign. He
has been forced to adopt this
plan through the advice Of his
physician. Chairman Cake has
been in charge Of DIR. W. Z. Will
hanson for some time, and yes
terday the physician declared
that his patient must not assume
an active part in the conduct of
the campaign. From his sick
bed Cake sent word to the execu-
tive committee that he would
have to relinquish his duties
and leave the direction of the
campaign to other hands.
The committee which is to
manage the campaign is COM
posed of ex-State Senator C. w.
Hodson, ex-State Senator Sig
Sichel, H. w. Coe, R. E. VIII
liams and J. P. Kennedy. Will
liams is National Committee
man for Oregon, and Kennedy
is county chairman. Coe has
has been designated as the treas
urer of the campaign fund.
Since his return from the
East last month Chairman Cake
has been under a nervous strain,
which has brought about a
breakdown and necessitated the
retirement until, he can recup-
crate. Since last January
Chairman Cake has been under
a severe strain, for at that time
he began the management of
his brothers campaign for
United States Senator. He had
to fight through the primaries,
and then the general election,
and then prepare for the Presi-
Dental campaign. This con-
slant worry and drain on his
vitality eliminated two weeks
ago, after he had held a confer
ence with the members of the
state committee and had at
tempted to secure rest at the
beach.

allows any enterprising district
to start a high school, it does
away with the necessity of a
vote. The trouble with the
Union High School Law is that
it requires a majority vote of all
the districts before the high
school is started. " Under its
workings, some four or five high
schools are being established in
Lane county in places where it
was impossible to maintain them
before. A small county tax is
levied and each high school
student, regardless of location,
draw its share OF the tax; the
more the high school students,
the more money the district
draws from the county. Under
this law, country high schools
can be established in every
group of districts in the state
that is not over twelve miles in
extent, and that has fifteen or
twenty pupils that can attend,

necessary to secure a vote is
given, and the Bulletin can be

THE BEST IN THE WORLD.
Is the American Husband
American Woman Happfest.

The American husband is the
best in the world. says the Rev.
Chas, Aked, D. D., in the Novem-
ber New Idea Moman's Magazine.
He thinks more OF his. wife,
makes more of his wife, does
more forshis wife than any other
husband the world has, ever
known. Whether he has. the
best wifc-5ut that is another
story. Certainly the American
woman has the best favored lot
that has yet fallen to a human
being. She has more to make
her happy-in her own phrase,
to give her "a good time" than
any other creature on the earth.
She has more money to spend
and better things on which to
spend it. She has more free
dom, independence, more power
of initiative and of self-direc-
ton. She is a person OF i'm
portance-and she knows it.
The p resent writer is yet seek
ing a female person between the
ages of Z and 70 upon this con-
tinent who does not regard her
self of the greatest consequence
in the scheme of things. She
quietly assumes that she is
somebody. The assumption is
warranted in fact and conceded
in practice. The American
woman is, up to the present
moment, Gods best piece OF
work, and there are no visible
indications of outside improve
! ments upon the product.
! The American girl can pro-
tect herself. She is not as >easi-
ly led astray as the girls of many
| other countries. She is not as
'*innocent' in the absurd and
conventional meaning of that
much absurd word. She knows
more. She can run alone. She
is more completely mistress OF
| herself. There is no higher
standard of sexual morality in
any country than this. This
may be safely affirmed in the
face of 10000 divorce scandals
and the headlines OF sensa-
tional loving press For every
unhappy marriage of which the
papers speak there are thousands
about which it says nothing.
Butthe last analysis the Amer
lean woman has a better time
than any other woman because
she is-an American woman !!

They Will Not Be
Tolerated
50 SAYS PRESIDENT JORDAN
Use of Intoxicants Must Be
Entirely Eliminated from
Stanford University.

President Jordan says tina: all
drinking at Stanford University
must stop. At the first assembly
of the student body, in deliver
ing his annual address, to the
entering class, he called atten-
ton to the trouble of last year,
saying thBt the ideas followed by
the committee on student affairs
last year would be strictly en-
forced this semester and that
the use Of intoxicants would
have to be entirely eliminated
from the university life here
after. He said:
"The drunken collegian is the
greatest injury to any institu-
ton, and Stanford is no place for
those who can get drunk and
not be ashamed of themselves.
We have no time to train such
men, as our faculty has some
thing else to do than to watch
the doors of saloons. When a
man is doing the university
more harm than the university
is doing him good, then it is
time for him to leave the insti-
tuition. We have no prohibition
rules, and / do not believe in
prohibition, but you of the stu
dent body of Stanford univers-
ity have two alternativessbefore
you: You must cut out Stan
ford, or you must cut out the
saloons. II we cannot celebrate
our athletic victories without
beer-busts, then we must either
do without the athletics or else
fire our coaches and meet defeat
at the hands of the University
OF California"
The statements were received
by the students with the great
est of interest, for up to this
time the exact attitude of the
faculty had not been known. I
is now clear to every one that
the lid will be down, and down
tight, at Stanford this year. Last
year the faculty set out to ac-
complish this purpose, and al
lowed nothing to stand in its
way. Stuoents showing oppo-
sition were quickly disposed of,
and though it looked at one time
as though the entire student
body would strike, those in
charge showed not the least sign
OF weakening, and now that they
have their end accomplished the
drunken student will probably
hereafter be as unusual sight
on the campus at Palo Alto as
he would be on the grounds OF
the most strict denominational
college on the coast.

supervision of the Agricultural
College. Professor E. R. Lake,
who had charge of the college
exhibit, this year, has made a
great success in enlarging the
scope of the work of the college.
President w. J. Kerr, of the
Agricultural College, was vis-
itor today and after inspecting
the various departments of the
Fair expressed himself as great
ly surprised and highly pleased
with the splendid exposition of
Oregon's resources.
COLLEGE STRONGER WITH PEOPLE.
The college has greatly
strengthened its position in pub
lie esteem by the very practical
and consequently very valuable
work it has done during this
Fair. The lectures delivered
here this week will induce many
farmers to go to Corvallis and
take the farmers short course
next Winter, for they now as
never before realize the practi-
cal character of the institution
given.
Tomorrow will be getaway
day, the closing day of the
greatest Fair Oregon has ever
seen. The weather is certain to
be favorable and through the
great days for attendance were

morrow will see an immense

Good Talks Under Auspices of the Oregon
Agricultural College.
COLLEGE DAY i BIG ATTRACTION
Brings Gut Many Students and Large Crowd of Farm
ers were Present and Heard the Addresses All Depart
Much Wiser and Happier.

An Oregonian special says:
Friday was a great day at the
State Fair and the good work Of
the Oregon Agricultural College
was much in evidence.
Several hundred graduates Of
the institution were on the
grounds, the college colors were
every where displayed, and at
the race track a crowd of college
boys gathered and gave the col
lege yells. j
Lectures were given by coll.
lege professors on control Of
insect pests, on animal hus-
bandry, on dairying and on var-
ious other topics Of interest.
Demonstrations we're given by
the college instructors in tree
grating and in apple-packing.
Professor Rutherford, OF Winni-l
peg, gave an instructive talk on
judging a horse, pointing out its
desirable and undesirable char
acteristics of both draft and
driving animals. A large crowd;
of farmers heard the address
and every person there went
away much more competent to
estimate the worth of a horse
and to discover defects than he
had ever been before.

In THE death of Joel Chandler Harris, the
American world of letters loses another of it's nota-
BILE celebrities who has contributed much toward adj
vancng the literature of his AEGEAN age that repre-
sents such great contemporaries Mark Twain,
William Dean Howes, Bret Harte, and Bill Nye.
Mr.. Harris is known the world the creator of
the famous "Uncle Remus" stories, aud humor-
list he is almost familiar Mark Twain. His
quaint stories of Brer Rabbit and Brer Fox are
known to everyone in the land!
Mr. Harris fluent and brilliant writer of
considerable note he being on the staff of the At

tales in which he portrayed the departed gories of
the South. Attic Mr. Harris has gone to that bourn

YeZIOzO Journalism.

AMERICA has long had the 'honor' of being the
birthplace OF what is known 'yellow journalism -
but LIE Matin published III the French capital, is far
ahead OF anything ever attempted in this country
Its rabidness so conspicuous that it is printed on
yellow paper. This feature has never been attempt
ed in this country altho restraint was ever made
as to type and subject matter. LIE Natiu has had a
ten thousand dollar libel suit decided against it, and
it is very likely that its propretors will be more eau
tious in the future in assaing the reputation of
public officials
In this country yellow journalism is OIL the de-
cline While they have not deteriorated in initiative
they are more digni6ed in tone and more cautious
in their attacks upon individuals. The sensational
features have not wholly Disappeared but they are
mild in contrast with that which prevailed several
years ago. Circulation is always considered the
principal factor in journalism, but public opinion is
generally the final arbitrator, and it strongly disap
proves of the yellow brand

AT THE present time the Mexican government
has on it's hands fairly we'll developed rebellion
The causes leading up to the outbreak are numerous
but the principal bone of contention appears to be
the hatred of the ascendancy of Americans and for
eigners in general. The wonderful progress made
during the past twenty five years in the development
of the of Mexico is due to the enterprise of
American capitalists, but it now seems that their
prosperity has aroused seated jealousy among
the poorer classes for the poems did not receive any
benefit from this development
In President Diaz the Mexican government has
had one of the greatest administrators in its history
He has inspired confidence at home and abroad.
From warning and dissatisfied state of affairs he
brought the country into the ranks of civilized and
progressive nations His life reads like modern
romance, for he continually in the midst of
danger and often experienced the bitterness of adj
versity. Undoubtedly if President Diaz twenty
years younger the agitators who disturbing
the countrys peace would pause before antagonizing

FOrgiUeness.


WHEN man does another wrong the custom
is to seek forgiveness and let the past be forgotten
This is not only established usage, but it is fol-
lowing the divine Injunction as emphasized by
Christ Some men find it hard to forgive while 9TH
ers who forgive easily. sometimes have retentive
memory. They never forget Some day they hope
to seek fitting revenge.
Our civilization can never hope with the crude
methods now at hand to attain to that ideal condi
ton in which forgiveness is followed by forgetful-

perfection this would be an ideal world to live III.
But it is useless to expect the unattainable Some
men are more interested in the past than the miser
is in his gold It is not strange that they never for.

did the injury years ago. 1t is an easy thing for
to forgive another, but to forget the act or the
man-that is almost impossible. Many persons do
not permit their hatred to dominate their judgment
but others pursue their enemies with vengeance
