Our special visitor, Jack Frost, the ?8th of April, made things that were green look pretty frosty In the morn ing here. The clover leaves were all killed down by frost, even burdock leaves were stiff with frost. We are not particularly interested in burdock, as we can get along without it, don't you think so, Uncle Ed? We think old Oregonians ought to get bitten a little bit any way. About 40 years ago in the great state of Illinois, on the 3d or 4th day of June we had a frost that killed rye and corn. Your scribe had his corn plowed over the second time and it looked splendid, but Jack Frost killed it to. stay killed. We braced up and planted it over the 20th day of June. We had a splen did crop of fodder and half a crop of merchantable corn and lots of frost bitten corn, hence we had the earlier . frost and the latter frost, but In Ore gon we generally tave either to kill or stay killed. Yesterday we thought we would finish our last year crop by digging the spuds. We dug part of them and we found two crops on part of the vines, and last week we had new potatoes for breakfast. We have potato tops a few hills about 10 inch es high in a protected place that the frost did not bite last week and corn up 3 inches high. The frost did not bite the corn. The Mumpower and Llllle saw mill is a wonderful mill since It has com menced operations. As fast as they saw through the log, the saw whizzes back again, ready to commence again. We ought to have a "store here at Stone. We are expecting one, but- it has not come. Elder G. P. Rich preached at the church on last Lord's day, the 6th. His discourse was on "The Union of Christians." There was a large and attentive audience. After dinner the people met below Clear Creek bridge to witness the baptism of two uersons in Clear Creek. See Romans, sixth chapter. Evangelist Sewall closed the pro tracted meeting on the third Lord's day, the 19th, with a full house, and fine attention. Brother Sewall has gone to Eastern Washington for his health. He took cold and it settled on his lungs. There were eight addi tions to the church. We are disap pointed very much in having to part with Brother Sewall. Smyrna. (Too late for last week.) Mrs. L. B. and Mrs. A. L. Yoder were visiting, relatives In Parkplace and Portland several days the past week. Erie Sether and L. D. Yoder are hauling their potatoes to market Mr. and Mrs. Joe Schwartz, of Lo gan, are at their ranch here for a few days cleaning up their orchard and sowing land plaster on their clover. We have read Mr. Robinson's article on appropriating $125,000 annually for the maintenance of the University of Oregon in last week's Courier. But it is our opinion that he Is mistaken, when he says It is a school for "poor and rich alike." The writer is per sonally acquainted with twenty young people, who, after finishing the public school course attended the different independent colleges of the valley, working their way through as best they could. Every one of them Is es teemed in his or her vocation and an honor to the community in which they reside. Not one of these was wanted at the university because they were financially unable to keep up with tne high toned "frats," and athletic socie ties In vogue there. As to the pro fessors being short on their salaries, there are a good many farmers, hop and mill men in the same condition, yet the legislature has made no pro vision for them. Should these be made to go down into their meagre cash in order that the university may pay $2000 per school year for a pro fessor teaching an average of eleven students? Or, "dig up" so that the foot ball team can afford to pay $750 per month for a coach? In our esti mation the university is a school for the children of the wealthy, who are well able to pay for the "trimmings" that go with an education there. We shall "have to be sliown," or we shall surely vote "No" on "that amendment. Canby. R. S. Coe, president of Canby De velopment League, vice-president of Clackamas County Fair Association, the man that is credited with getting the County Fair located at Canby, has certainnly worked harder and been more persistent, to make the fair an assured success, who asked the city council of Canby to subscribe for 50 shares of the stock of the Fair Asso ciation, has solicited and has sub scribed six hundred of the $1000 that the citizens of Canby agreed to raise for the fair association; the man that was accused of holding up the stock holders meeting when they wanted to postpone or adjourn the meeting for another week the man that was turn ed down at the primaries for county commissioner; the man that will dic tate to the Republican party two years hence; the man that will, with a little help from the people of Canby, have the county seat moved to Canby. A. J. Lewis, the county fruit inspec tor, was looking around Canby and vi cinity last week, and took dinner with R. S. Coe and wife, the horUculturist of Canby.

The people of Canby are very much elated that they are going to get the county fair at Canby. Don't forget to sign for some stock. R. S.
