The. commute of the Htato Orange on reforina In thn flnsniUI manage went of the Institutions of hlirlir ed ucatlnnNl In Oregon has pretutred a draft of a bill wht. t pMipoM.. to pla' all surh InsNtullon under onn board Of five members. Instead of separate boards of re gnts for (he Normal schools, the State university and the Oregon Agricultural rallrgn, all (heae whools are to be put under one board of control. The b.inrd will have the general su pervision over lite schools and will ex ercise absolute control and manage ment of the Institutions, dependent, of eurse, for appropriations to maintain All this la'eAcellont as far aa It goes. but not until the Oregon Agricultural college and the University of Oregon are combined and mndn to live in one city, will the best possible result be obtained. Wisconsin has taken the Initiative In this matter and has al ready been followed by Michigan nnd Mlnnesotn. as well as other state far ther cast, where educational facilities nre al the best. With both of Ore- gun's gTeat schools united under one head and In the same rlty. what a schoiil we would have. O. A. C. fills a want In Oregon which many states feel heavily. In that It educates the afrmers' boys and girls. Tho unlv r slty of Oregon is and should be cater ing to a different field. A a result, each Institution ha a certain amount of expense which would be cut In two were both schools consolidated. The very beat profeasor. the most capable Instructors and the most efficient president could be. employed where. It Is now, each school must guard ts every step lt It go loo far Int.. expenses. Two-third of Ihe salaries now paid to the two presidents would employ the leading educator of the country. That would leave a lucrative nest egg for Improvement and equipment In other department.. The earn la true In many courses, such a law. engi neering and medicine. Oreat results would be obtained by spending the same money on one school of engi neering that I now being lavished on that department in the two schools, neiiner Deing more than mediocre. So on through the entire curriculum of both institutions. The ooner the University of Oregon and the Oregon Agricultural college are consolidated, the sooner will Oregon have one great university of 'colleges Instead of one university and one college, both living from hand to mouth. e CAMPERS' CAIUXF.S8XESS. Forest fire this summer have caused the loss of thousands of dol lars to the timber Interests in this state. Notwithstanding the fact that forest ranger are patrolling the mountains and doing all in their power to prevent fires, and protect the for est, fire escape from campers and the damage to forest and range Is enormous. Camper should use every known precaution. Any carelessness along this line is nothing less than criminal. The Bryan campaign 1 officially launched. The notification speech has been delivered and Mr. I!ryan has of ficially accepted the nomination. His speech of acceptance hi a masterly ar raignment of the republican party, in which he attempts to show that all the Ills of the human family, so far as applied to the cltlxnns of the United States are Concerned, are directly traceable to the republican party, and that the cure-all can only be found In the platform adopted by the Denver convention. Mr. Dry an Informs the notification committee that he will prepare a more formal addrma of ac ceptance and deliver It at soma future time during the campaign. If his sec ond address Is any more formal or lengthy than the one he delivered yee torday. It la to be hoped that he will railroad It through the people 6n sec lions. Tho old story of the congress man, of whom a friend aaJd. that "he had a spltmdld train of thought, but unfortunately no terminal facilities," will certainly apply as well to Mr. Rryan. The battle Is on. but thank heaven. It will not bu very long. . s e Ifuw C.1 is It? La Grande people have had no oc casion today to ask how warm It wa. Rather, the Interrogation, If any, ha been to ascertain how cold It was. Th thermometer last night registered 11 degree. In sharp contrast to th Funeral of Father, Sun and Daughter.
