There seems little prospect

nuisances. The whisky press
makes much ado over white
slavery in Tennessee-and what
is it compared with the deviltry
done by the sale of whisky in
the anarchistic cities? Not a
drop in the bucket. Once clear
Tennessee of the whisky curse
and little if anything will be
heard of the white slave traffic

A little special effort on the
part Of our citizens just before
the fair gave to our streets a
vastly improved appearance. The
results were we'll worth the eff
fort. There is no good reason
why this condition should not be
maintained, and for that matter,
improved upon. There remains
much to be done along the same
line of removing accumulated
trash heaps from the alleys, va
cant lots, etc., the building and
repairing of sidewalks, and the
dragging Of the streets. The fall
rains are now upon US and they
bring mud and many discomforts.
By a little care these may be
greatly reduced and the city made
more attractive. Moreover, eve
ry man, woman and child can
contribute something to this end
by refraining from throwing pa
per and other refuse into the
streets. Nothing, certainly, is
more unsightly than fragments
of paper, peelings, cigar stubs,
lying on the sidewalks, along the
cutters, or in the roadway. Of
course, not every one is guilty of
this practice, but enough are to
affect the appearance of the town.
Then, too, the practice is danger
Gus as well as unsightly, for ba-
mana and orange peelings have
caused many an accident, and fly
ing pieces of paper have caused
many horse to run away, often
with serious consequences.

Eastern Oregon Students
Pass Resolutions of re-
gret That University
Is Hampered.

The Eastern Oregon students
of the University of Oregon take
this means of expressing their
regret that the extension of the
University's facilities has been
delayed by the referendum.
I'VE are in daily contact with
conditions at the University and
realize how difficult it is becom-
ing to handle the fast increasing
student body without a CORES
ponding increase in facilities.
"The University has had no
new building for seven years,
and the last structure erected
was library. The appropria-
tions under the referendum call
for $100, 900 for a new admins
tration and class room building,
and $75, 600 to make extensions
and repairs to four other build
ings. We KNOW this added
room is greatly needed, the at
tendance having doubled since
the last building was put up.
Deadly Hall and Willard Hall,
the principal class room buildings
now, were built in 1867 and 1885
respectively.
Pride in our state University
and a desire to see it helped rather
than hindered in becomigg the
great institution it is destined to
be, able to aid thousands as it has
aided us, prompts US, in conven-
ton this day assembled, to agree
as follows:
"RESOLVED, That we urge
all people of our respective com
munities to register without fail
and to support the University on
November 4th in the two matters
that are so vital to its continued
progress, and
"RESOLVED. That we view
with sorrow and apprehension
the misuse of the referendum
against the just cause of higher
education by individuals whom
we believe to be actuated by mo-
tives of private and personal NAL
ice, and by others who are well
disposed but who have been mis-
informed.

WHAT is THEIR MOTIVE?

Malicious parties, for political
or other reasons, have succeeded
in attaching a referendum to the
bill which calls for appropriations
for the State University. What
their motives are for trying to
kill the institution no one seems
to know. There are many diff
erent prevailing ideas. Is it a
matter of taxes? If so then why
don't these people who are back
of the referendum start the same
thing with the Agricultural Col
lege appropriations? Why don't
they make howl about every
new state Office that is created?
Why don't they attach a refer
endum on every appropriation,
for it is apparent that if ever an
appropriation was needed, it is
needed by the State University.
No, the man or the party or
the interests who are back of the
University referendum are not
looking out for the taxpayer, for
have they not already cost the
state enough in special elections
to give the State University new
buildings and equipment? What
is their motive?

July. He continued his labors help
ing to develop the country and pro-
tect settlers from Indians for some
years.
On the last of November 1863 in
company with others he was started
on an exploring trip from northern
Utah and continuing the journey to
Las Vegas and San Bernardina, Cal,
returning the next year and hauling
freight to Montana.
In 1866 he made a trip to the Mis-
souri, river to meet emigrants and in
connection with Captain Horton
Haight assisted in bringing in the
wire for the Deseret Telegraph line.
Here he met Mary Ann Chandler
from England whom he married the
following May. In 1879 he moved
from Box Elder to Cache county set
Ting on a ranch near Millville. A
few years later he located on Spring
Creek, College ward, and four years
ago moved into Logan. He has re-
ceived all the grades Of the Melchise-
dek Priesthood and has ever been q
jealous worker in the church. He
was the father Of seventeen children
ten of whom preceded him to the
spirit world and the remaining seven
survive him. His first wife died on
May 10 1882 and his second wife sur
wives him.
On June 20, 1891 when the College
ward was organized he and James
Olsen were chosen counsellors to
Bishop Oscar Dunn.
