Official Paper ot Beaton County. .
BOXTAIXJB, OKKttON. MAY 87, 1903.
NAUGHT SPAKE HE.
The president has come and gone.
ZXcMig before he reached Oregon it
rs promised that he would, while
ia the state, call upon republican
ters to support Mr. Hermann
for cotigress.That immense pressure
was brought on him by the party
managers to make such an expres
sion, is well known. But he came
nd went . without uttering one
word in defense or indorsement of
TSfr. Hermann's candidacy.
It was impossible for the pres
ident to indorse Mr. . Hermann,
It was the president who demand
d of the Oregon delegation the
resignation of Mr. Hermann on the
. occasion of their visit to him at the
TKThite House before the spring
elections last year. They pleaded
' -with him to allow Mr. Hermann
to remain in his office as commis
sioner until after the Oregon el
ections; and it was Mr. Roosevelt
; that finally consented to allow Mr.
Hermann to remain in hia position
until July ist of that year.
After an T examination of the
Umber land operations in Oregon,
Special Commissioner Green made
a report to Secretary Hitchcock,
and it was because of the inform
ation contained in this report that
the president insisted most vehem
ently on Mr. Hermann's resigna
tion. - The substance of that , re
port was of such character as to
make it impossible for the presi-
' -dent while in Oregon to ask ' re
publicans to support Mr. Hermann.
The very fact that Mr. Hermann
'though repeatedly urged and chal
' lenged to do so, has not con
sented '' to - have this .. report
made public, proves that the in
formation it sets out is of damaging
"character. If it were not, its con
tents Would have been given to the
newspapers long ago, .. The fact
6iat this report does not appear
tells the story certainly and signi
iicantly of why the president did
not, as he passed through ; Oregon,
speak even one little word, in--.be-
half of Mr. Hermann. He did not
dp it, because he could not. He is
the man who required the dismis
sal of Mr. Hermann, and any plea
for the latter' s return would have
been a direct condemnation of ; Sec
retary Hitchcock, and a slap at .his
own administration. X If there were
a way to ascertainV the innermost
desire pf the president, it would
probably be found that he hopes
searnes'tly that Mr. Hermann may
be defeated. If this be 1 not true,
-why ' did he not come out. boldly
,xn& request Hermann's re-election?

THE CALIFORNIAN WON.
But an Oregon Boy was a Close Second
. Friday Nights Contest.
The red nose shall not illuminate
the politician's complexion. The
ornament is too costly. One hun
dred forty seven college associations
in America have said so; and
among the list is the student prohi
bition movement at O AC. They're
for fresh air and against all. impure
drinks.
In this movement, Oregon" Cal
ifornia and Washington were fairly
represented in the Conference at
chapel last Friday afternoon. The
exercises were under the direction
of Virgil E. Henshawi traveling
secretary of the national intercolle
giate prohibition association, who
was ably assisted by Miss Mary
Sutherland, state secretary of the
intercollegiate movement of Oregon.
During the afternoon addresses
were made by President Emerick,
of Philomath College; Rev. Phelps.
of Portland; student Millican, of the
University of Washington who is
well known in football circles; and by
Chester P. Gates, of Dallas College.
The tend of the argument set forth
was that men should be educated
to abstain from all things injurious;
and that educated men should lead
in this effort. There was nothing
of the hair-brained order, which
advocates hatchets, . broomsticks,
crusades and other irregularities;
but throughout, the discussions
appealed to the higher and nobler
instincts. . -
At 8 o'clock in the. evening,
about 800 seats were taken in the
Armory, where the musical pro
gram was furnished by Miss Edith
Gibson, with an instrumental, and
by Otto Herse and Miss Mabel
Cronise , with delightful solos.
There were five contestants and two
cash prizes The first of which was
$75, and the second $25. W. ' Clif
ford Smith, of Berkeley, took first
prize; and Dan A. Polingj of Dallas
took second' with J. W. Iough of
of the University of Washington,
as close contestant for second hon
ors. Aubrey Kramien, of Newberg,
was fourth in the race; and C. JN.
Bowman, of Whitworth college,
was a strong fifth man. Smith was
the most mature and finished spea
ker. Poling the most earnest , and
impassioned, while Lough the most
pleasing and persuasive. V: '
This is the first interesting con
test, of any character held at the
OAC, andits high character will
appeal to young men and women in
the college to aspire to oratorical
excellence. While financially the
undertaking was very successful;
in an intellectual and esthetic way,
the influence of the first intercolle
giate meet at the O A.C will long be
felt in college circles, where strictly
hygienic living, is the motto of many
a student who is destined to lm-1
prove the farm the workshop and
the home. . - . 5
A WORLD-BEATER.
A Two-Year-Old Colt Weighing Near
ly a Ton, and 18 Hands High.
Oregon has a large share of ' the
glory of raising the best horses
produced in America. From this
state has gone out many great run
ning animals; many : great trotters
and pacers, many fine carriage and
other driving horses. Oregon has
been a great producer of splendid
eeneral curoose horses, and is a
rich field" for buyers of draft horses
It is believed that she can claim the
largest two-year-old colt on earth.
This colt is a Benton county product
and is the property of Sol King.
Monday Mr.' King brought the filly
to town and had her weighed, and
five days after, she was two years
old she tipped the beam at 1.740.
The animal is 18 hands high and is
beautifully formed. She is now
oerfectlv proportioned. The sire of
this remarkable animal is Can
nock Oak, and the sire, of the colt's
-dam was Bobby Burns The nlly
embodies three"strains of the large
breeds. There seems to be no doubt
that in time the animal will weigh
2500 pounds if not more. Mr. King
offers $500 for a colt that will near
ly matclj his. -

IN SOUTHERN CHURCH.
By Southern Pastor Many Were
There The ' Memorial Sermon.
1 The annual memorial sermon was
delivered belore the Grand Army'
veterans in the M. E. Church south
last Sunday morning.It was a plea
for a good citizenship'and an uni
ted country. The text was "Estab
lish thou the work of mine hands."
The speaker was Rev. John Reeves
and the auditors were G. AR. vet
erans, members of the Relief Corps
members of the church congrega
tion, and many citizens. The. au
ditorium was filled with people. It
was decorated elaborately with fes
tosned and unfurled flags. "
. The occasion is perhaps one - of
the first in which a memorial ' ser
mon, a - Northern : institution
has been delivered in a church
nee known as a southern church
and by a Southern preacher. - This
fact was acknowledged and applau
ded by the speaker. He declared
that he felt honored and that "his
church felt honored by the invita
tion for him to make the address in
his own church. He added that
the Post, in laying aside prejudices
and extending the invitation had
set an example of breadth of view
that was equally or even more hon
orable to themselves and their I or
ganization. The minister declared that in the
removal of slavery, the war, costly
as it was, has brought beneficent
results. For these he lauded, the
work of the veterans, and urged
them and others to bend their - re
served energies now in the solution
of great moral questions, that are
upon the land.
The sermon has been the subject
of much favorable comment. The
whole incident is a pretty illustra
tion of the new and irrevocable re
union of the Blue and the Gray.

SELLING Y ARMS.
A Twelve Thousand Dollar Transfer
Other Places Sold.-' .-.

real estate market during the past
few days. Monday papers were
made out, consummating the sale of

The biggest of all the sales is
that in which the big farm of Sam
H. Moore on Soap Creek irto pass
to a new owner. The bargain
has been made, but the papers have

price paid is to be $12,000 inclu
ding growing crop and all livestock.
Another deal is the sale of the
Cressy tract of 30 acres, which was
