estimate that it will take from a year
to a year and a half to complete the
line. One of the biggeit obstacles
will be the landing of supplies at the
points where they will be needed by
workmen. The line will follow the

Heney is again in the lime light and
will soon return to Oregon to prose­
cute the land fraud case against Bin­
ger Herman of Roseburg. The indict­
ment under which Herman will be
tried was returned February 13, 1905,
by the federal grand jury of Oregon,
and charges the ex-congressman and
land commissioner with conspiracy to
defraud the government of its public
lands in the Blue Mountain district.
Herman was tried in Washington,
D. C., about two years ago on a
charge of destroying government re­
cords and was acquitted.

be an important witness in the Her­
man trial and he has been in confer­

ture, Governor Chamberlain will go
to Washington to be sworn in as
United States senator. His private
secretary, Robert Caples, left Monday
for Washington to pave the way.
Chamberlain, however, will not re­
sign as governor of Oregon until he is
sworn in. The moment he is seated
by the senate he will relinquish his
position as chief executive of the
Beaver state. But for the protests
Chamberlain would have resigned be­
fore his departure for Washington.
The protests, however have made him
cautious, and he will continue as gov­
ernor until seated. Should he not be
seated, he can return to Oregon and
continue as governor.

The legislature can scarcely afford
to skimp the Agricultural college.
Oregon cannot afford to starve that
excellent institution. Every county in
the state has stude ts there. The in­
struction they are getting is intensely
practical. It has to do with agricul­
ture, horticulture, dairying, commerce,
industry, the household and good citi­
zenship. It is education with brain
ansi hand trained together. It is the
education that the thinkers and states­
men are urging as an effective
instrumentality
for
race uplift.
Roosevelt says the agricultural col­
leges are one of the most potent of
all factors for deliverance of coun­
try life into easier conditions and a
chief agency in furthering develop­
ment, uplift and enrichment of the
states.
The Oregon Agricultural college
is near the people. It is kept within
reach of the humblest farmer lad.
Of the more than 1300 students at
the institution, 89 per cent, accord­
ing to the report of Prescident Kerr,
earn a part or all their way through
the courses. So many at the insti­
tution and coming from every coun­
ty, shows the college to be gi ving
what students want and need. So
many of them working their way
into an education shows both the
character of the student body and
the earnestness of their effort. It
shows how wise was the national
government in creating such colleges,
and prescribing for them such a field
of instruction. In view of the great
demand by the young people of the
state for instruction at O. A. C., and
in view of the state’s pledge when ac­
cepting the national endowment to
provide and maintain buildings
equipment for the institution, is it
possible to see how the legislature
do other than provido fully for
needs of the Agricultural college.
Since every student in college is turn­
ed out a state deAeloper, how can am­
ple aid be refused? —Portland Journal.
