on new buildings, and the beautiful little cam

In Eugene, college conditions are ideal-a
pretty city, Just large enough for street cars,
with rivers and forests within walking distance
And the college itself is Just about the right size
at present for the true college life. In student
body of 900 it is easy to become acquainted with
nearly everyone, and still the school is large
enough to command the best in instructors and
equipment. Conditions are very democratic in
the life of the students. The criticism is often
heard that the University is school for the we'll
todo students, and that social events are too fire.
quent. Figures compiled by the registrar of the
University show that the average student at
tends only one dance a year. OF course a few
students attend good many, but this coming
year the faculty has provided that each society,
club or fraternity can only hold two social events
during the year, SO that difficulty will be over
come.
Nearly onc-half of last years enrolment of
men students were working their way partly
through school, and about Onc-foulth were put
ing themselves entirely through. These fellows
are usually among the leaders in the life of the
students, and five of the most prominent of the
Senior class last year were men who were work
ing their way through college, three of them
waiting table and doing scrubbing in the college
dormitory. Yet these men were among the most
popular and bcst-liked on the campus, and one
reason they were leaders was because they were
sclf-supporting. Ia,
Oregon boys and girls should attend Oregon
schools, and for those who want work outside of
agriculture, horticulture and the like, can find
what they want at the State University. They
will make friends with other young people from
all over the state. They will find a college, fully
equipped with No. A rating among the big uni
versitics of the United States, the best of in
and student body that is known all
over the Northwest for its "college spirit" In
oratory and debate, in athletics and in all lines
of student activities the University is famous
for its victories, and the school though small in
with some of the big state universi-
ties, is one of which the state can iustly-bc proud
and is one where amy young man or woman of the
state can we'll afford to spend four years of

A. III. Harris of he Portland Evening Telegram
recently visited Ontario and the surrounding
country in the interest Of his paper, his mission
here being to find out the true conditions of this
section and to publish his findings in the Tele-
gram. His story was published last week by the
Portland paper, and the full article is reproduc-
ed in this issue of the Argus
Mr. Harris has written mighty interesting
article, and deals with the truht in fearless
manner. Certainly the truth cannot hurt this
section of the state. We are new country as
he brings out in his story, but this is certainly
progressive country as is evidenced by the wond-
erful advancement that has been made in only
made in the next few years.
His analysis of our needs is a safe one, and is
surely correct. With all of these needs supplied
this country would be the most prosperous see
ton in all the west. 1t would be richer than a
gold field. And none of his suggested needs are
impossible of attainment On the other hand
they are coming probably faster than we realize
and we will all wake up some of these fine morn
mgs and find that we live in the most favored
section OF the west lit is no wonder that our
farmers believe the result is worth the effort
That "leal-strap" has been placed on the
Snake river, is true The country is ''leadinp"
its irrigation water from the river--not driving
it, The day may not be far distant when the
Snake will be harnessed at this point His sug-
geston is in keeping with the efforts now being
made by the Dead Ok Flat irrigation district
where an effort is being made to harness the
Payette river.

Italy has been at war with Austria alone, but
she might as well be consistent and fight Turkey
and Germany also. She will be shy of making
declarations against the Germans, but the

and one Of her Representatives in Congress, at

The Better Babies Contest for this year, which
was staged last week at Vale, attracted the at
tention of parents all over Eastern Oregon. 1t
is becoming well established fact that the An

there is anything wrong with the physical on
mental makeup of our children, we should know
what it is and how to remedy it, 1t makes for

conduct the affairs OF the party along
the broad patriotic lines which have
won for the party its present high
standing in the nation.
The affairs of the party are now in
the hands of the new Chairman and
his Committee. The keys are turned
over. This paper, and we believe we
speak for the rank and file of the
Democrats, will take pleasure in Civ
ing its hearty support as far as pos
sible, to forward the good work.
The retiring Chairman, Mr.. A. S.
Higglnbotham, gave several years of
work and much valuable time to the
interests of the party in the county.
He wrought well, and deserves the
thanks, gratitude, and highest esteem
and respect of the party, which, in
fact, he has and enjoys to an unlimit-
cd degree.

a NEW VIEW POINT FOR THE
STUDENT.

A short time ago man of some
distinction whose experience and at
tainments entitle him and his opinions
to consideration, said in public adj
dress, that, as he saw it the object of
collegiate or university education
should be, not to prepare the student
to get somthing for himself, but to
prepare him to give something to
others. Not to get but to give. Not
simply to make Il living but to point
others the way to a better living.
The prevalent idea among students
seems to be to prepare themselves for
some high and lucrative position in
life, in which a living, with prominence
in society may be more readily at
tanned. The object with many Young.
girls, (and their parents, tool, in 90
ing to College, is to give them "pol-
ish" and grace of manner. All these
things are commendable to an extent.
An ambition to occupy high place
In society and in the business world.
to attain fame and fortune, is COM
mendable. To prepare to make "A
good living is right and proper. We
must live. To be polished" and re-
hned In manner, so as to appear we'll
in society, is also commendable. Are
these all? Arc these the chief OBJ
Jects to be sought of university or
college education? Was the speaker
right or wrong when he said that the
chief object should be to give instead
of to get?
Within the next few weeks thous-
ands of young men and women will
enter the schools of this country, some
for the first time, others for their
final year. These thoughts are COM
mended to the attention of those who
perchance may read this paper. Some
men go to college, others are sent to
college, and still others just drift i'm.

ONLY TWENTY-FIVE PER CENT

In certain community i'm this
State-a quiet, moral and cven-going
community, where church and Sunday
School is well attended and every
body is orthodox and respectful TO all
religious activities, a meeting was
held for the purpose of organizing a
mems bible class. The speaker, in the
course of his remarks, gave the re
suit of an investigation he had quietly
conducted. He found that there were
SIXTY adults from fifteen years up. liv
ing in the community near the church
and attendants upon the services more
or less regularly. OF the sixty, which
embraced all of the adult population
on the community, only fifteen of them
or twenty-five percent, were members
OF the church-the only church in the
community, and some of this fifteen
seldom ever attended church and only
small number attended the Sunday.
When thes facts were brought out
there was surprise and establishment
expressed by those present. They had
MT looked into the matter. They some
how took it for granted that every
body belonged to the church. In this
community several denominations have
been holding regular services for 80
years and longer. Still rs per cent
OF the people are still on the outside.
1t is good thing to look at the fig
ures occasionally, dry though they
be. The condition in the community
named rs not an exception, perhaps
1t would be well for preachers and
church workers to go over the church
records occasionally and see how
things are going.

o. +. HOPKINS. CHAIRMAN.

At recent meeting of tie new
County Democratic Committee, Mr..
O"is +. Hopkins was elected as chair
man of the Committee, and as such,
leader of the Democratic party in the
county. His election to this impor-
tAnt position will receive the approval
of the entire party in the county. and
he has the right to expect the hearty
support Of the entire party in mea-
sures he may propose for the success
and extension of Democratic prin-
ciples.
There never was a tine, PERHAPS.

Democrats were in perfect accord

Democrats are an Independent people
who do their own thinking. refuse
to be "bossed" or bullied, and too
often refuse to be led. 1t sometimes
occurs that they take apparently
more pleasure in "scrapping" among
themselves than fighting Republicans,
But, it is believed, and sincerely
desired, that Mr.. Hopkins, the new
leader, will have the unqualified and
harmonious support of the entire
party in the county. There should he

Among the brethren calling at our
Office this week was Mr.. M. l.. Harri-

movement which resulted in new
$500 pastors home at Wytheville.
We had also learned that he had of
fcrcd to pay half the cost of a SIS. 900
new church building on an elegant
new site at Wytheville. Plans are be-
ing made for the new building. Broth
err HARRISON mixes his religion and
business and politics all up together.
But the biggest ingredient is religion
and that flavors it all. He is interested
in the Statewide prohibition fight
and speaks in the highest terms of Mr..
E. Lee Trinkle, who has been unani
mously nominated for the State Sem
ate from that district and who will be
elected without opposition. We do
not have the honor to know this gen
tleman personally, but if he is near
all that Brother Harrison represents
him to be, the prohibition, good
morals, good government and all that
goes with these will be safe in his
hands. He is evidently the type of
man we need in high places in these
days, and will no doubt go higher
position among us than Senator.
