Ortgunian. 1110 utcruuK ui oinn wu wn 4, We thorongly believe in the 'great possibilities of the State Agri cultural college at Corvallis. The work Prof. Lake is now doing is the kind we need in this part of the horticultural vineyard. The ex periments which the college is making and the experience which these professors must necessarily have, are of infinitely more impor tance to the community at large than the tedious bum drum of the conjugation of Greek and Latin Terbs. The ancient languages we would not underate, but in agri cultural colleges the analyses of the fruit pests, etc., and the remedies for preventing or destroying them, are a thousand fold more impor tant to the people generaly in re torn for the state and national funds which agricultural colleges receives. We do not know all the reasons why the question arose of removing the Willamette University from Salem to Portland, but so far as we are able to discern, we can see no good reason for the suggested re moval. However, it is quite clear that Salem never did its full work in support of the institution. The management of the University has uot always been what it should have been, and so with all institu tions over the land. The citizens of Salem will regret the day when that University gets on wheels and rolls away to the Columbia and Willamette. There is more moss back ism in and around Salem, edu cationally speaking, than one would have supposed, unless he were fa miliar with the facts. It is all right and proper to build "railroads, bridges, street car lines," etc., etc., but the educational and moral in terests should never be neglected. Salem must come to the front or take a back scat. Apropos of a prediction made ten years ago by Col. Ingersol in a lecture on religion, Chaplain Mc Cabe, the well-known Methodist minister, sent the following note to the doughty unbeliever the other day: "Dear Colonal Ten years ago you made the following pre diction: 'Ten years from this time two theaters will be built for one church.' The time is up. The Methodists are now building four churches every day one every six hours. Please venture upon an other prediction for the year 1900." Salem Statetmm, Mr. E. 0.
