Matter Now.
OLTMPIA, TVash . Jan. . (Special.)
The joint resolut'or: providing for the
appointment of confeience commissions
and extending- an Invitation to Oregon to
enter Into a treaty agreement settling
tha fisheries and boundary question on
the Columbia River went Into the Senate
this morning with Senator K. L. Stewart,
of Cowllta County aa thj author.
Representative Burke, of AYahklakum
County, Is preparing; a resolution which
differs from the Stewart resolution, in
that It gives almost exclusive mention to
the fisheries question. It la Representa
tive Burke'a idea that the boundary mat
ter should be approached with caution.
Inasmuch as It lias once been decided by
the Supremo Court In favor of Oregon
as to that portion of the river near the
mouth. Mr. Burke fears that Oregon
would not care to engage In a conference
if it were believed In that state that the
boundary matter was the vital Issue.
The Stewart resolution was prepared
with the assistance of Senator McGowan,
of Pacific County. The preamble recites
that there have been for many years
controversies and disputes between the
two states involving the boundary line,
fishing privileges', police regulations and
other Important subjects. It proposes a
conference between the Commissions appointed-
from the two states, the Wash
ington Commission to be named as fol
lows: Two members to bo appointed by
the President of the Senate: two mem
bers by the Speaker of the Hous?, and
three by the Oovernor. The resolution
provides that upon ratification by the
two Legislatures and Congress, any
agreement entered Into by the proposed
Commission shall be binding on the two
state for the term of years agreed upon
In the treaty.
It Is also provided that the report of
the conference shall bo submitted to the
next session of the Legislature for ac
ceptance or rejectment. The Senators
and Representatives are working In good
feeling on the matter, and It Is proposed
that the House and Senate resolutions on
the subject shall he referred to the Joint
committee on fisheries which shall select
what It deems the best features of each.

WAR OVER WATER PROBLEM
Eugene Councllmen Discharge City
Treasurer.
EUGE.VE, Or., Jan. 20. (Special.)
The City Council of Eugene Is meeting
with considerable difficulty In securing
the right of way for the new municipal
power plant from the McKenzie Rivttr
to Eugene. This, however. Is not from
the property-owners along the pro
posed route, but from City Treasurer
Relsner, who refuses to pay warrants
drawn on lilm by the Council. There
have been some exceptions taken to
the action of the Council by those who
think that the Council Is exceeding its
authority.
Bonds were voted by the city for a
water supply adequate for the needs
of the city. The Council, through the
City Attorney, interpreted this to mean
that It conferred the right to install a
power plant sufficient . for pumping
the water, and has gone ahead xvlth tha
Intention of providing power sufficient
not only for the present, but also for
the future needs of the city. - To this
some have taken exception and have
presented a petition to the Circuit
Court to have the Council enjoined
from proceeding with the proposed
power plant. The members of the
Council have been notified of such pe
tition, but claim that they have not
been served with any restraining order
from the court.
The Council has accordingly gone
ahead and secured the richt of way
from all the property-owners, with one
exception, and has filed the deeds and
Issued warrants for payment of same.
But the City Treasurer, afraid of lay
ing himself and his bondsmen liable,
yesterday refused to pay a number of
these warrants, when presented, though
he had previously been advised by the
City Attorney that he was not person
ally liable for any warrant legally au
thorized by the Council.
Section 32 of the city cliarterpro
vldes that the Council may remove or
suspend any officer, except the Mayor
or Councllmen, for neglect or refusal
to perform his duty and last night the
Council met In special session and re
moved City Treasurer Relsner and ap
pointed J. J. Walton to the position.
But Mr. Relsner refuses to turn over
the books and funds.
Suicide Had Romance.
RAWHIDB, Nev.. Jan. 20. Investigation
into the affairs of Thomas H. Niblock,
the broker, who committed suicide, shows
that his real name was Thomas H. Proo
ban, of the well-known family of that
name of West Downs, Ireland. He
served In the Commons from West Downs
and In the zenith of his career eloped with
a celebrated Irish beauty. Four years
later he left her In Paris and went to New
Tork. The day he left his companion was
killed In a train wreck and a man crushed
beyond recognition In the eame compart
ment of the wrecked train was buried as
Prooban by the members of his family.
Prooban read of the affair, but main
tained silence and allowed hie family to
continue in the belief that he was a vic
tim of the wreck. He came to Nevada
and won and lost a fortune before he
committed suicide in a fit of despondency.

TASK WORTHY OF EFFORT

Boundless Influence of College

SALEM. Jan. 20. (Special.) A feature
of the closing ceremonies Incident to. the
inauguration of Rev. Fletcher Homan aa
president of Willamette University waa
the brilliant charge to the new official
delivered this morning by Bishop Edwin
H. Hughes, of San Francisco. Discussing
the educational future of the University,
with special application to the endowment
feature. Bishop Hughes said:
"It Is no hazard to say that were you
to push endowment of this college tar up
into the millions, the fields beyond would
still be ao large and so attractive aa to
lure you mightily. Keep your eyes on
those fields, but enter them not until you
see whence shall come the Instrument
of the tillage and the wages of the toil
ers. Meantime you may' respect the qual
ity of your present work and be very sure
that the small college, if It does honest
service, wins regard by Its closeness of
ties, and keeps an honored place In our
system of education. I should say also
that the very difficulty of your task work
makes It attractive.
."Tour task Is not to be accomplished
by any spectacular graces, nor yet by any
Jaunty and occasional efforts. It Is too
big to be In small time or In a pmall way.
It Is Indeed so big that you can give It
every ounce of your strength, every drop
of your blood, and every day of your
working life, and still feel at the end
that, as your service is a thing of ages
rather than of hours, you are a faithful
partner in the millennium of effort."
Large Constituency.
Continuing, the bishop said: "You have
come here to work with eight circles of
constituency. Moving from the outside
In, they are as follows: The general pub
lic, the educational public, the church, the
City of Salem, the alumni, the trustees,
the faculty and the students. . . . No
one can possibly set any boundaries to
your Influence In so far as the general
public is concerned. The most far-reaching
force on earth Is a college. An insti
tution like this furnished the man through
whose hands passed the correspondence
leading to the Russo-Japanese War and
furnished another man who acted as
spokesman of the peace commissioners on
the New England coast. . . . Tour col
lege is not a large one, and yet it Is so
large that It will cover the earth with its
power. . .' .
"Tour alumni will enter public service.
and If they carry with them the spirit of
this school, they will stand for civic
righteousness, be valiant servants of civic
reform and help to bring In the golden age
of civic life. ... To the educational
forces of your state your relation is to be
Intimate. Ton will cultivate friendly feel
ings toward tha other higher Institutions
of learning. Tou will not attack the State
University; for you will feel that it is un
American to demand that all of our stu
dents be trained In denominational Insti
tutions. You will not attack the great
privately endowed universities of your
state: for how can a man cast a stone at
his partners? You will not decry other
church colleges, for are they not co
workers with this college in their very
form of service?
Appeal for Broadness.
"Some there are who know less of the
five points of Calvinism and the five
points of Armlnlanlsm than they know
about the Five Points of New York.
. . . There Is no such thing as Metho
dist mathematics, and there is also no
such thing ' as Oregon chemistry. But
there is a University of Oregon, and there
Is a Willamette University, and both in
stitutions have their spirit. Let us give
each spirit its own freedom, and above all
let us stop talking nonsense. . . .
"A man must live with the worst both
In his city and his college. The large peo
ple in Salem will be with you In genuine
sympathy; It may be that you will have
to be patient with some very small and
some very good folk whose nearness to
your work Is a doubtful Institutional
blessing but a certain personal disci
pline. . .
"If ever some Impudent fellow, seeing
that you take part in local civic affairs
and stand on your feet to speak like a
man, shall- Intimate that you are a for
eigner, give him no heed. A college pres
idency disfranchises no man; and it should.
not be allowed to sap his Independence.
Owing to the recent difficulties In the
school, resulting in the suspension of
several students for certain pranks
special Interest attaches to that part of
the charge of the bishop relating to the
relations of the trustees and the presi
dent. "These men nave made you presl
dent," declared the bishop. "Be presi
dent. But do not tell anybody that you
are going to be president. Just be; that's
all." '
The inaugural address of President Ho
man was a scholarly effort, dealing in
part with the career and life work of
John Wesley,, founder of the Methodist
Church.
Bishop W. C. Smith, of Portland, pre
sided. The bishops, the 'faculty, the trustees,
the students of the university and of the
High School marched from the chapel to
the First Methodist Church, which was
filled to overflowing when the opening
prayer was said by Dr. D. L. Rader, of
Portland.
