6 THE' OKEGKTIA THUKSDAT, JUNE 13, 1907. SCHOO L YEAR ENDS Class of 65 Graduates From Corvallis College. GEARIN MAKES ADDRESS Admonishes Young Men and Women to Heed Responsibilities of Edu cationMusic Is Special Fea ture of Day's Programme. .CORVALiJS. Or.. Junt 12. (Spe cial.) A delightful graduating ex ercise at 10 o'clock closed the annual commencement at the Oregon Agri cultural College today. An excellent feature was the address to the grad uating class by ex-Senator John M. tieariD. of Portland, whose speech was more in the nature of a heart-to-heart talk with the members of the class, than an oration. In which particular it met with a most favorable reception by the audience. It was full of beau tiful ripples of sentiment, and replete with maxims to which every auditor readily assented. In beauty of diction and quiet eloquence, few addresses from the same platform have equalled It. The foundations of society, he slid, rested on the purity of woman. He urged the graduates to heed the voice of alma mater, which is at the moment appealing. and forever throughout life will appeal to each graduate to wear its colors unsullied, lie urged them to heed the voice of conscience, which was declared to be a voice higher than that of -any man on earth. He urged them to heed the voice of patriotism, a voice which he declared those best prepa-red for cit izenship by education should partic ularly hearken to. because of the added responsibility that education entails. He exalted the home as the noblest and best place in life, and wnman a commanding Influence in the affairs of the world. Salutatory by Belle Bonner. The salutatory was by Miss Belle Bonney, of 'W'oodburn, and was an ex altation of the home, and of education tending to model and uplift the home. Her theme was "The Prime "Wisdom of Life." The study of science as re lating to home life, and the subord ination of the arts a Incidentals rather than the ultimate of woman's education was emphasized. The ora tion created a marked impression on ' the audience, and waa heartily com mended. . Darwin O. Thayer, of Rainier, had the valedictory. His theme was "American Agricultural Education." He cited the fact that public lands are almost exhausted, and that there is now nowhere for the surplus popula tion to find cheap lands. The prob lem Is one of the most serious that confronts the country. Simultaneous with this Is the decrease in the yield of products of the fields. The solu tion of this problem lies In scientific education wherein trained men are vent out to use methods that will bring the fields back to their. prim Hive fertility, and Increase the yield to the point where exports will not t-ease, and so a denser population can 4,.hBK( Ian. n n .... , fl ,1 .mrtln Income for their labor. His address was excellent, and a stirring appeal for mora and more of scientific educa tion. Splendid Musical Features. One musical feature of the pro gramme was a vocal selection by John Claire Montelth, of Portland, who sang "A May Morning" and "A Gay Curito," and responded to an encore. Another wae a vocal solo by Miss Kdna Sheeny of the college, who sang with excellent effect from "Der FrelsT ehutz," by Weber, responding to an encore. Another was a piano solo by Professor Tfllllandler of the college, who rendered Hungarian Rhapsody No. 13. by Liszt. Another feature was the Soldier's Chorus from Faust. One of the most pleasing items of the musical programme wae a chorus from II Trovatore. Verdi, rendered with splendid effect by the College Csdet Regiment Band of 30 pieces.

June li-(Speeial.)-Judge Dietrich will tomorrow morning at 8:30 o'clock deliver his Instructions to the Jury in the North Idaho land-conspiracy case. He would have dona so this after noon after United States District Attor ney T. M. Ruick, of Boise, had concluded his final argument had not Juror Stewart been so 111 that he said he was in no physical condition to go Into the jury room tonight and begin deliberation upon a verdict. The feature of today's proceedings was Mr. Ruick'a closing argument, a reply to the arraignment yesterday by Attorney Frank. Moore, of the Government offi cials. Mr. Ruick disclaimed any Sena torial ambitions, adding that by the time tiiere is a vacancy in that office In Idaho that the land-fraud cases would have been disposed of. He said that Sir. Moore's abuse was an admUslon that the defense had no facts upon which to ar gue to the jury and was forced to con sume timo by Insulting and Jeering Gov ernment officials because they performed their duty. Commenting upon the at tacks upon Inspector ' O' Fallon and Spe cial Agent Goodwin, Mr. Ruick said: "Now it la a matter of no concern to yen. jurors, of what stale Mr, O' Fallon is a native and from whence'Mr. Good win came, whether he is a protege of Hitchcock or whether the other is a protege of Commissioner Richards. Hitchcock Is the first man who ever lassooed successfully a prominent, wealthy timber thief. He is the first man who ever had the nerve and the per sistence to attack successfully and land the biggest fish in the Nation, and Mr. O'Fallon is one of the four personal rep resentatives of the Secretary of the In terior, whoever that Secretary may be. And Mr. Goodwin Is a chief. He worked his way up as an official to be chief of what is -called a field division, having under him, in an extensive territory, numerous special agents. Now I simply say that with xegard to these men. and they don't need any defense from me." During the course of his arguments Mr. Ruick said that the evidence shows that Bookkeeper Robnett, of the Lewiston Na tional Bank, was an embezzler, but that the matter was taken care of by W. V. Kettenbach. president of the bank, and that Robnett was never prosecuted, but is still a trusted employe of the bank. IiOgs That W ill Soon Be Paper. OREGON 'CITY. Or.. June 12. (Spe cial.) Huge rafts of hemlock and apruce logs from the lower Columbia River are in the Willamette at this city, and hundreds of logs line the river below the entrance to the canal.

SHERIFF STARTS LftWSUlT STEVEXS ASKS IXJTJXCTIOX OX REFEREXDtM. Effort to Enforce at Once Xew Meth od of Handling Prisoners Uni versity Petition Vp, Too. SALEM. Or., June 12. (Special.) Sheriff Stevens, of Multnomah County, today brought an injunction suit against Secretary of State Benson to enjoin the secretary from placing upon the offlcinl ballot at the next election the question .whether the sheriff's bill passed by the last Legislature shall be come a law. The Multnomah County Court has filed a referendum petition against the bill and Sheriff Stevens, by this suit, attacks the sufficiency of the petition. He alleges that It does not comply with the law in that it eon tains no warning clause cautioning persons against signing It unlawfully. This suit presents the question whether the petition is offective in holding up the new law, and if the court holds that it is not effective the law will go into effect at once. Eugene Palmer and C. H. Walker brought a mandamus suit today against the Secretary of State to compel that officer to file tho petition recently of fered by them demanding the referen dum upon the University appropriation bill. This suit raises the question whether the petition was drawn in compliance with law. The particular question raised is whether omission of a part of the title of the bill is a fatal defect, -but the warning-clause question can also be raised in this suit, as in the suit brought by Sheriff Stevens. ' Judrfe Galloway has set the Stevens case for hearing June SI, and the Uni versity case June 24, but he may. hear both cases on June 21. It is understood that if Sheriff Stev ens loses on his contention that the omission of the warning clause is a fatal defect, he will attack the peti tions on the ground that many of the signatures are Invalid either because the signers were not qualified voters or because the names were signed by other persons. Attorney-General Crawford, on be half of Secretary of State Bonson, will demur in both cases. MONEY SAVED TO THE COUNTY Judge lilttleftcld Holds Special Ses sion of Court at Condon. CONDON. Or..

His coming confirmed a number of very Important Sheriff sales that otherwise would have gone over until September. This extra session was without a cent of cost to the county and means a saving to the taxpayers of about $150, as it shortens the September Jury term one or two days. The Judge, by his dignity, firmness and fine ability, has created a very favorable Impression, and splendid things are ex pected from him in his new capacity as Judge of this district. lie also held a special session at Fossil, the county seat of Wheeler County.

COST DF REPLACING What Railroads Would Have to Pay for Right of Way. VALUES UP IN MILLIONS Astounding Increase in Property Valuations Since Railroads Were Constructed Figures Supplied by Experts of Commission. OLYMPIA, Wash.. June 12. (Special.) Testimony at today's hearing by the Rail way Commission to determine the value of railway, property in the state was en tirely on the question of present cost of rights of way as an element to be considered in estimating the cost of re proding the lines. The figures given by the Commission's expert right of way men showed a remarkable Increase from the figures on the original cost given by Expert It. P. Gillette yesterday. Yesterday Mr. Gillette testified that the terminals at Seattle, Including the boring of the tunnel, the construction of the passenger station and freight sheds, the original cost of the lands, ties, rails stoel, engineering expenses and all the other items aggregated less than $2,400,000. Today the right of way experts say the naked lands alone are worth about $20, 000.000. and that It condemnation pro ceedings were necessary to secure title. it would cost the roads about 23 to 30 per cent more. The right of way experts put on the stand by the Commission, W. a Lysons, J. M. Averlll, and H. D. McArthur. each declared that while their estimates were made up from personal investigation and knowledge on the oasis of the selling value of. abutting property, that In all cases outside of cities and towns, the roads would be forced to pay three or four times the true value of the land taken, if secured under condemnation proceedings. This was said to be due to alleged damage by cutting through farms. In cities the holdup allowance was figured at about 26 to 70 per cent. because the railroads buy whole lots or blocks and reduce the damage to abut ting property. Objections that the estimates of values within the city of Seattle were based upon hearsay evidence, wore raised by the -railroad attorneys and sustained by the Commission, so those values will have to be secured "by summoning real estate men to testify before the hearing ends. The evidence put in today covered the rights of way of the Northern Pacifio and all of (ts branches west of the Cascades; the Port Townsend Southern, the Columbia River and Northern and the Columbia and Puget Sound road of the Hill lines; the Ilwaoo branch of the Harriman lines and the Belllngham Bay & British Columbia road. The average values per mile of the roads wore given es follows: Northern Pacific. $42,513; Port Townsend, $51S; Columbia River, $1,034; Belllngham Eay. $.S3S; Ilwaco. $6,838 The Northern Pacific right of way In Pierce County Is .valued bv the experts at $11,740,937.24. of which $11,478,037.50 is within the city of Tacoma, yet B. S. Grosscup, attorney for . that road, at tempted on cross-examination to show these estimates too low, as compared with recent prices paid by the Union Pacifio and other roads. , DEAD OF THE NORTHWEST Sirs.
