RETALIATION, "You caii lead a horse to wa ter, but you can't make him drink," is an old saying.. From present conditions it seems to appiy to railroad companies. For years the people of various sec tions of the country complained bitterly of the practices of the railroad companies and finally the general outcry became so great that the federal govern ment established a commission to rt-yuiate so nearly as possible the rates of transportation over the various lines. As should have been expected, the railroad companies combatted the formation of this commis sion. But it went into effect just the same. Next we learn from the railroad companies that the conditions imposed upon them rendered it almost impossible for them to borrow money, if nec essary, for extension of their lines or any improvement of their system which they might desire to make. Probably there was some truth in this state ment. The general sentiment of the public againsr. the railroad com panies was the outgrowth of the charge that they favored some s uppers a., the expense of others that theyciid not, in other words treat all alike. One man's money is ;ts yood as another'; and the public took a firm stand against the system of rebates Passes were also looked upon as practices of bribery, pure and simple. So much for the general public side of the question. Th 3 railroad companies main taine t their right to conduct their business as occasion might require. They contended that their method of business was the only proper way and was the out growth of years' of experience in their especial line- However, in spite of all they could do the rail roa-i commission came into exist ance. Wow, as the result of the pass age of certain and sundry laws throughout the land we find the ra lroad companies resorting to drastic measures and the temper in evidence indicates retaliation on the public rather than any thing else. On certain lines there is an indisation of cutting down and trimming closely every item of expense. There also is a policy against extension of lines where the company is not com pelled for business reasons to make such extension. This pol icy will work a hardship on a large laboring class who follow ed railroading for a living. It will, likewise, prove detrimental to the interests of such countries as are yet to be developed and require railroads to assist in the work. In fact, it is within the power of the railroad companies t o retard the development of new countries. For the general good there must be regulation of all business thre must be law. The right law is the one respected by all better classes of citizens. The contention is not made that the present laws are not fair, but the prediction is made that the time will come when we shall have in effect laws for the regulation of our transportation companies which .shall prove satisfactory lor all. Held Special Meeting. At the college Friday afternoon a called meeting was held by the board of regents of the Agricul tural college. Those absent were Olwell, Pierce and Benson, and ose present included Governor Chamberlain, Austin T. Buxton, master of the state and Mrs. Clara B. Waldo, lecturer. The meeting was devoted to a di -cussion of the merits of the various applicants for the posi tion of president of OAC, of whom there are eight, principally j from the East. According to reports there is a seMimeot against Eugene dupli cating a part of the work done at OAC The claim is' that the Eugene school is duplicating the S ate Agricultural College in mining and electrical engineer ing and mechanics generally, and while the government pays for the maintenance of these depart ments at OAC, the state has to foot the biil for tbem at U. of O. E. E. Wilson was elected sec retary of the board. The time of meeting was ' considerably de lived on account ot the cave in of tunnel No. 3 on the C. and E-, which caused ' the Albany train to be three or four hours late. Another meeting is to be held by the bord M-iv 2nd. REFUSE TO PLAY OAC. Dallas Basketball Men Prefer to Be Excused. Manager McCaiiister has re cently publistied in the Portland Journal a challenge to the Dallas basketball team to meet the OAC champions in a series of three games, should the third be nec essary to determine the merits of the two teams. The challenge was a broad one and exception ally fair from every standpoint, but n article in the Polk Coun ty Observer Friday contains the information that the Dallas men ire not looking for an opportun ity to aieet the OAC '"skeeters." The Observer says: Admirers of basketball who lave teen looking forward to a ;ame between the Dallas and Oregon Agricultural teams will ie doomed to disappointment. It s now definitely certain that tere will be no games between he two teams this season. The efusal or neglect of the Corvallis team to join the state league last t ill and the crippled condition of he Da las five at the present rune are given as the reasons for Dallas' refusal to tecogaize the challenge from tbe OAC team '"We will not accept the chal !tnre of the Corvallis plavers, said Captain Liuner of the Dallas .win yesterday, "for the reason that the bisket ball season is al most ended and the Dallas team is on the eve of disbanding. Mor ton, one of our strongest men, has already left school, and the remaining members of the team are nearly all suffering from 111 jiirir's received during a winter's hard playing. It would be un uit to play such a team against he boys from the Agricultural college, who have had an easy ime of it all winter. If Corval "s desires to meet Dallas, let them come into the state league next year and show their will ingness to fight for the state championship through the per centage of games won and lost the only fair way to decide a championship. Dallas will play its final game with Multnomah on Saturdiy night and then dis band for the season." D tllas college has already play ed 11 games in the league series and has won ten of them by large scores. A tour ot the whole Mid dle West . next , year is contem plated by the team, when some of the best college and association teams would be met and played. It is thought that on such a tour the local players would make the name of Dallas college famous in basketball throughout the United States. Real Estate Transfers.

Since the details of the theft of Henry Leibner's team of hor ses were written up for publica tion, the information has been obtained that probably the same thief stole a pew rifle and two boxes of cartridges from William Warner, Friday. Mr. Wagner keeps "batch" on a place belongina to Mrs. James McBee, four miles south of "Cor vallis and adjoining the Off Wil son place, the house occupied by Mr. Wagner is ' a mile and a half west of the Wilson home and stands back quite a distance from the main road. A stranger appeared at Mr. Wagner's Friday morning about ten o'clock and asked for break fast, which was given him. In reply to questions the traveler stated that he hailed from down near Portland and ; was going out to the "mills" to try for" a posi tion. After his departure Mr. Wag ner went to the field to work, giving no' further thought to the matter. A little later, however, Mr. Wagner saw the same stran ger return up the road and pass the house, but he did not notice whether the Stranger approached the dwelling or not although he could easily have done so unob served. Saturday morning Mr. Wagner happened , to glance at his gun rack on the wall and dis covered that a new rifle that he had seen there the day before was gone, and further search showed that two boxes of cart ridges were also gone. The stranger was large and dark complexioned, heavy brown beard tache. , Thursday a tramp the Henry Leibner asked for dinner but wearing a and mus- stopped at home and was re f us- ed. A telephone message to Mr. Leibner yesterday morning elic ited the information that this tramp was "big and dark com plexioned and had big whiskers all over his face and also wore a mustache." The idenity of the tramp and the man who stole the gun thus appears to be the same. The further fact that Mr. Wagner resides near the place where the stolen horses were found lends weight to the belief that the dark whiskered stranger is the guilty party. Additional Local. The ''Barnacles'' enjoyed another danc ing party Saturday night. It :s doubtful if any crowd in town has more enjoyable times than this organization. An Oak Grove co-respondent says: "Fruit Inspector French was down in this part Thursday looking after neglected orchards and to see that they are pr per- ly looked after and sprayed. He says that hi ia no respecter of persons and every owner of an orchard, whether it be large or small, shall have a square deal, bat it is necessary for him to see that the law is enforced and have the old orchards leaned up or destroyed. He compli mented the Oak Grove people by saying that they were farther ahead with their work and had their orchards in better shape than any part of the country that he had visited. He left Friday morning for Wells to encourage those ia that part of the couoty. Charles Wilkins, steward on the steamer Pomona, had a trial before Jus tice Hols;ate and was sentenced to pay a $50 fine for eelling liquor in violation of the law. He will appeal the case, it was reported, to the circuit court. Full par ticulars could not be obtained up to the Gazette press hour. 1 BIBB ON SALE 750 yds cream, black, blue, pink and cardinal.
