There was a fierce game of ball
at the ST, Johns grounds last Sun.
day. The day was an off day for
the Apostles aud this gave an op-
portuuity for the local fans to exer-
else themselves. The presiding
genii of the different joy water
joints congregated aud endeavored
to wipe up the whisker sharps of
the city.
We were not present but have
heard glowing accounts of the
game. The score as reported to us
was 9 to 10 in favor Of the hirsute
doctors. If there is anyone who
should make an expert ball player
It should be a whisker carpenter.
He gets so accustomed to the
curves on the physiognomies of his
patrons that he ought to be able to
meet anything that comes to him
on the gridiron. So we are not so
much surprised at the result of the
game. The same bunch will try
it again Sunday, May I6.

Editor Review:
The attack made on the stat,

]. III. Fletcher in recent issue oI
your paper is unwarranted, vicious
aud altogether false. The alumni
of the state university have moi
used one cent of money improperly
during the campaign for the pas

any newspapers or hired any work
ers. Our books are open for in
spection. and at the close of the
campaign we are willing to make
a public statement of all receipts
and disbursements. verifying the
same by affidavit. | wonder wheth-
er or not Messrs. Palmer and Walk

university bill, are willing to do
likewise. Who is putting up the
money for this campaign of mud
Singing against the university ?
The people of Oregon have the
right to ask this question.
| wish to congratulate you gen

YOU are putting up for the univer-

Oregon through the columns of your
paper. The enemies of state schools
are enemies OF the common people,
Why is il that
Messrs. Palmer, Walker. Fletcher,
ct al, are SO hot to kill the univer-
sity of Oregon! Do they wish to
turn the education of Oregon's

Now that the streets ate being
cleaned We would like To call the
attention of the council to the fact
that there is an ordiance against
throwing papers, old rags, pieces OF
boards, splinters and other filth and
trash on the streets. Why not en-
force this ordinance and avoid the
necessity of the expensive spring
clean-upsl The expense would be
light to each business house or office
To have garbage barrel or box to
catch all litter instead of sweeping
II out in the street. IL would make
the city have neater appearance
and when the barrel is full il could
be carted away for nominal sum
We believe our council would be
praised by every citizen of the city
II they would see that this ordinance
is enforced, II may be necessary
to fine some few offenders before
people will catch on that the coun-
Gil means business; but those fined
will be the strongest supporters of
the council il they will see to il that
everybody obeys this ordinance.
