LOANS HELP STUDENTS.
q. of q Finds Tina the New Plan.
works Sacs essfully.

In the March Nun lber of the Uni
versity OF Oregon BIT illetin, a copy of
which has jus4 been received. Presf-
dent Campbeu disct lsses "Student
Loan Funds" He says that the ex-
perience of the past few years with
the present university f'snd indicates
very clearly that a rnuc h larger sum
could be used TO advanta ge. He cites
many insJtances where ~ small loan
has ens .bled a student to complete
his cou rse. and says it would be a
great t hing IL the university were able
to sayk to any deserving young man
or W oman that a loan of 500 year
cou' ia be depended on for each Of the
TO or years spent in the university.
s ucn a loan COULD be made safe
against loss by the guaranty OF a
| number of men. The money for a
large fund will have to be secured
Through gifts from individuals inter-
ested IN helping deserving students
Through the university. These gifts
Twin probably range in amount from
4 1925 to 500, and "a fund of $4,000
ought to be reached in a very few
wears. President Campbell believes
/ that loans are better than gifts for
i two reasons, the first, that the self
areliance and self-respect OF the stu
dent. is preserved by the. obligation
to repay the loan, and the second
lthat the loan repaid goes to help an
other student through the college.

vanced.

According TO special reports to the
bureau of statistics OF the department
of agriculture, Europe has increased
its average purchases of foreign
wheat during the last 20 years more
than 100000, 900 bushels. or about so
per cent and has doubled its annual
purchases of corn.
The annual requirement OF wheat
from foreign sources are now 1s0.-
900, 900 bushels year more than
they were 20 years ago, this mostly
In northwestern Europe. For the
year ending July 81. 1907. all Europe
purchased 476,o0o. zoo bushels Of for
eign wheat and flour (reduced to
wheat) of which the United States
and Canada furnished 1sS,264,0oe
bushels.
To meet foreign buyers on a parity
with other producing nations, the
grain producers, dealers and export.
ers OF the United States. have now the
same"futures' system as other con-
tinents.
The practical workings of this sys-
tenn was explained to a prominent
member of congress from Illinois
thus: A Glasgow miller buys 10p,-
GOO bushels Of wheat in San Fran
cisco. say at 81 per bushel. To pro-
tect, or in popular phrase. ''t hedge
his San Francisco purchase during
the time the wheat is in transit to the
port of Glasgow, he sells the same
quantity Of wheat in the Chicago or
other leading market at relatively the
same price which he paid for the
100000 bushels of wheat in San
Francisco.
II the market during his ."in tran
sit" period advances 10 cents per
bushel, the San Francisco purchase
price is all the while maintained as
a basis upon which he can make his
sale of flour in Glasgow-therefore,
think the statement Is absolutely true
''that. he can sell the flour on the ba-
sis of the price at which he bought it
in San Francisco.
The fall in prices of articles i'm
ported and the advance in prices of
articles exported, which form a
marked characteristic of the January
price statement of the bureau of sta
tistics OF the department of COM
merce and labor. is equally apparent
in the February figures of that bu-
reau, which have just made their ap-
pearance.
In nearly all of the important ar
ticles imported for use in manufac-
turing prices show a marked decline
In February, 1908. when compared
with the corresponding month Of the
preceding year.

Wages IN Samoa.

A memorandum drawn up by the
German colonial office. and attached
to the estimates for the information
of the members OF the Reichstag, con-
tains a statement of the present condi-
ton of the labor question in Samoa
in which it Is stated that the white
population was formerly entirely de-
pendent upon Samoan workmenr
while now the major part of the work
at most Of the plantations is done by
Chiness imported for this labor. Each
Chinese laborer receives in wages
$2.S6 a month. The total cost OF
each to the employer, the report
states. including wages, maintenance
passage money, and medical treat
ment is calculated at from 1898 to
S11.90 per month.

FIRST CHINESE PRIEST.

Rev. Peter Chang. said to be tha
first Chinese Catholic priest to visit
this country, arrived in New York on
the steamship Ryndam. He was ac-
companled by Bishop August Hennin-

tung, China. The bishop went to
China as a missionary 21 years ago.
In short time he had congrega-
ton Of 1876 converts, but he says that
there are now more than $4,000 con-
verts in his diocese. Father Chang
Is 81 years old. He wears his hair In

MOVEMENT TO CANADA.
Ottawa Report Says Thousands are
Going North.

The movement into the Canadian
northwest from the border states will
be somewhat larger this year than
last, says an Ottawa report It is
pointed out that the move Canada
wards is principally from Utah, the
Dakotas, Minnesota and other west
ern states, the people disposing OF
their lands there at upward of $50
per acre to take up land in Canada
at SO per acre or less.
If there has been an increase of ar
rivals from the United States, the
same can not be said of those from
Britain. This is due to the stricter
regulations which have been adopt
ed by Canada in connection with set
tiers from the British isles.

God moves in mysterious way, hi
wonders to perform. 1t has beer
thought for some time and until con
sldered more fully, it was thought thai
a church of some denomination would
give the better satisfaction and as the
Methodist denomination was a little
the stronger, and by building under
that denomination, the church would
donate $3.50 and many thought
that that church should do the
building. But Satan always trembles
when he sees the weakest Saint upon
his knees, and SO he began at once
trying to make the good people be.
lieve that If the Methodists got in
power, all of their nice social dances
would be spoiled and it was decided
that mass meeting should be called
to decide which it should be. Last
Thursday at Shey's school house, Pre-
siding Elder Vermilya of Minot gave
an excellent sermon, and explained
Methodism so plain that all Method
lists felt that if they could not get
church by Brotherly love through the
good will of all Of Gods people, they
wouldn't get it otherwise. So it was
decided to drop the church building
in having the gospel preached for a
while at least in our school house.
A committee Of three was appointed,
viz: J. A. Shey, F. Trumble and Mrs.
G. Christensen for the purpose to Sc
cure ministers. If the good people
could have good sermon preached
once a week instead of one or two
dances, we think the question would
be settled without any trouble.
