Oregonian-."The Oregon Agri cultural College i. e., the State of Oregon through the regents of the Agricultural College has imported from Germany a high class, high-salaried teacher of music. Just what bearing his services will have upon the science of agriculture, in the interest of which the college at Corvallis is maintained, is not stated. Might it not be well (softly be it spoken) to allow parents to-put on some of the frills in the' name of education which the state is now taxed to supply I However, .there may be some reason we have not yet heard of to teach the boys to sing to the steers while they fol low the plow. ; " With all its prefection the Ore gonian occasionally, gets "off."

It's up to the Oregon ian to correct its misstatement for example. If the speed is be tween 25 and 30 miles the fine will be $2 a ' mile. Above 30 miles the minimum fine will be $100. y ; The doubling of the fine for speed over 25 miles an hour is on the theory that any motorist who drives Ms machine faster than that shows his purpose to violate the law.
