Among the gifts the most common ones are ambition, the solving of the personal equation,, cheerfulness:, , enthusiasm and the Christian life. After reminding the students of the gifts that always existed, he told them how they could make their gifts burn blighter and add to their power and Influence in the world, by their own efforts. By coming in contact with great men and women, by reading, by earnest meditation, they could be brought into prominence and assist the individual in making himself felt in the world. The us-e of the many gifts were ex plained very minutely. He told how con ditions throughout the world are bettered from one decade to another, and, while the many colleges turn out hundreds and hundreds of young men and women to meet these conditions, the demand will never exceed the supply, for the reason that the ladder of fame keeps growing higher and higher with the increase of climbers. He also admonished ths stu dents that the college education wae within the reach of everyone, no matter what the financial ' conditions of that person is, and if the individual would only make the best of his or her course. thre would never be a worthless waste of money in securing an education, no matter how many graduates there are. He concluded his address by comparing the modern life with the old Grecian race track. ' On that track were always three pillars, on the first being written "Show yourself a man," and still further on, where the runnere were likely to fagg and fall behind, was a flag saying "Do your best. Make haste," and at the finish the pillar said "Stop here." Mr. Hayes modernized the famous race course by placing at the first post the American flag. The red symbolizing "Blood paid for our freedom." The white "Pure life and citizenship," and the blue as "Hope." Figurative runners should use the flag as a standard to which their manhood and defense of the country should be raised. At the half way he laid the Bible. Here, at the time of doubt the runner should refer to the word of God for aid and direction and inspira tion. Then at the finish we should set Christ as a model. He should be the laurel and the prize of this life over and above all other things, and the inspira tion for us to do our best.

May 18-(To the Editor.Hi Permit me to call the attontion of the- . people of Oregon to the,. fa,et hatf'they; will be called upon atthe election in June," to vote for or against the purchase of ther Barlow toll . road for $24,000. My , interest In Mount Hood for the past gener-J ation is well known throughout the state, -and t feel that a word from me will not' be out of place at this time, 1 do not know who is interested In this proposition, hence, I can speak without personal feel mg in tne matter. :-;., - X' - It is currently reported that a combi nation of some sort has boen formed, for . the purpose of selling this property to the.,, state for the price named, and an option . taken on it for $3000, As to the corroecU neev of this rport I cannot vouch, but t have reason to say it does not much ex ceed that fifure. Sixteen thousaud dol'ara seems like a pretty good margin for pri vate Individuals to make on a little $24, . 000 sale to the state. Particularly is this true when the fact is considered that for many year ther has been bitter op position in the legislature against main taining or in any manner improving state roads, and for this reason they have new tnar oeen built, nor . purchased. It will require many thousands of dollar to put this road in first-class condition. ; Undef such circumstances, where Is ths rnonev to com from. Inquisitive persons may raise the quss-; tion a to what i offered for this money; Has the road company any rights or priv ileges that are not conferred by the stat or county through lease? The company . never purchased the road, did not build. and do not own it. Then what 1 off ered for sale? If a lease is held, when nd from whom was it obtained, and when does it expire? It extends principally through the Cascade Range forest reserve. On page 62, '"National Forest Rueerv Regulations and Instructions," the follow ing languag occurs;,' "Reg.r 48. Wagon roads and trails may to constructed, : changed, widened, extended, or repaired upon forest reserve lands whan needed, but permit or right of way must first be secured. Permits will not give the right to exclusive use or to charge ' toll, or against future disposal ot the land by the. United States." s T .
