PROTEST AGAINST
THE REFERENDUM
To the Graneers and Voters of ore.

To the Changers and Voters of Ore
gon:
A movement has been started by Ger
tain citizens of jackson county to in
woke the referendum on the appro-
priations made by the recent Legislature
for improvements at the State Agrieul.
tural College. Such a movement at
this time is much to he regretted. 1t
is not necessary to go into detail lin
defense of this position.
Tue Grange and the people OF Ore
gon as whole believe in the system
of education tor which the agricul.
tural college stands-practical eduoa.
tion along industrial lines. | do not
believe there is any question as to
what the ultimate outcome of the vote
upon such proposition wonld be.
We believe that the people of the state
would sustain the appropriation by a
large majority, but the vote cannot
be taken until year from next Nov
ember. 1t will then be too late to
enter upon any building operations
until the following spring, so the
effect of successful effort with the
petition would be to tie up all the
contemplated improvements for a
period OF two years. This in the pre-
sent stage of development would be a
most serious draw back to the interests
of the state. Not only would 1t ser
iously hamper the further development
of the institution, Dut, what Is fnf
worse than this, there is grave danger
that it would cause the loss of the
government appropriation which sup
plies large part of the funds for run
ming expenses.
The question is, then, whether the
state by holding up this appropriation
would be failing 10 meet the actual
needs of the institution. This ques-
tion any one who will take little
trouble to investigate need not be
long In answering. IN brietest form
it might be answered by the simple
statement that the plant which would
be all sufficient tor student body
Of eight hundred is entirely inade-
quate for one OF fifteen hundred. The
figures represent about the numhers
that the present plant Is capable of
properly accommodating and the
mum ber that must be provided for
during the next two years. The en-
roIlment at the present time is be.
tween 1900 and 1900 or possibly In
EXCESS of that number.
Suppose it Is your child or mine
that goes up to the college next fall
and has to be sent home. We will
feel like going out and kicking some
one, but that would do no good. Ii
we wish our kicking to be effective
we must do it now. We must do it
against this referendum. We must
prevent, 1t possible, the securing OF a
sufficient number of signatures. We
can co so by refusing to sign them
and by working against them by every
means In our power.

BILLY SUNDAY
DRAWS CROWD
breaches IN COUNTRY AND CITY
Sunday Again Visits Hood River and
Locks for More Orchard
Land.

Billy Sunday and wife visited Hood
River again Friday of last week, re-
turning to his labors In the east Tues.
day morning. The object of his trip
here this time was to close the pur-
chase Of piece of property which his
brother bargained tor recently, and
also to look over the valley more
thoroughly. He spent most of the
time 10 the valley, and was the guest
of Willis Van Horn at the Butte"
and of Ii. +. Davidson In the city.
He was very enthusiastic over the val
ey, and while his former purchases
we're made more in the nature of an
investment, he now wants to make his
home here whenever he can get inter-
walls of rest from his labors in the
evangelistio field.
AS be was here over Sunday he ac-
cepted an invitation to preach to the
people OF both country and city. In
the morning he addressed large audi.
ence at Pine Grove Grange hall, and
the place was packed to overflowing.
He delivered the sermon In his char.
aoteristic style, which has won for
him state wide reputation, and he
held the undivided attention of his
hearers until the close.
In the evening he preached at the
United Brethren church in the city,
and although every nook, corner and
aide room we're made accessible, long
before the opening hour the place was
packed, the vestibule filled, the win
dows lined, and the crowd extended
out on the side walk. There were
probably as many turned away as
could get In the house.
MIR. Sunday offered Willis Van Horn
ShU, 900 for his elegant country home,
=" The Butte" but Mr.. Van Horn said
that he did not care to sell, and re-
fused the offer, which was cash one.
Mr.. Sunday looked at number OF
places In the Pine Grove district, az
we'll as other places In the valley, but
left without making any additional
purchases. He closed the deal for
thirty eight acres from U. II. Rhodes,
unimproved, for which he ps,d $3.50
an acre. His brother Ia still here and
may find something more which suits
him.
After engagements in Iowa and In
disna which will last until June, Mr..
Sunday will return to spend the sum
mer, or at least the time OF his vaoa-
tion.

(From a stan Correspondent

LANSING, Mich, March 6.-The

before them with books and papers,

The work was largely to learn just
how the details OF these departments

Each member OF the committee en-
tered into the questions which were
mostly answered by the deputies and
clerks who appeared very guarded in

facts on specific points, yet at the
