ing the proposed railroad which will tap
the timber country, which, coupled with
the activity of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& Puget Sound in the same territory. In

strongly that this .new system has en
tered an alliance with the timber syndi
cate, which provides that the Earling

Peleat McMlnnvlllo College on City
tJoveriiment Issue.
ORECJON AGRICULTURAL, COLLEGE
Corvallis. Or.. May 9. (Special.) The Ore
gon Agricultural College debating team
defeated the debaters from McMinnville
Collegft at the collore armory last night
in a discussion of the commission form
of government for the larger cities of
thx Northwest. The visiting team sup
ported fhe affirmative and the local men
the negative. The judges gave .a unani
mous decision.
The affirmative argued that city gov
ernment in the United States has been
a failure and that a change in the form
of government is the only solution of
this great problem. They urged that
commission government, by locating re
sponsibility and simplifying the mechan
ism of government, would result in bet
ter ainiinistratlon. The negative con
tended that the remedy was not in a
chang3 of government, but in the cor
rection of miror defects in the present
system.
McMitmvllle College was represented by
B. E. Griffith. C. J. McKee and George
R. Mclntlre. The O. A. C. debaters were

VALLEY GETS RAIN
Moisture Was Badly Needed by
Willamette Farmers.
BENEFIT TO FRUIT CROP
Danger of Frost Xow Minimized, and
Showers Will Insure Good Grain
and Hay Crops More
Rain Would Help.
EUGENE, Or., May 9. The rains of
last night and today mean thousands
of dollars to the farmers of Lane Coun
ty. The frosts of last week, together
with the dry conditions generally,
were the occasion of considerable
worry among the farmers. While there
were a number of localities In which
the frost hit hard, the damage Is not
as great as was first reported from
some sections.
The cherry crop across the river does
not seem to have been damaged to any
extent and the rains will help material
ly In its development. Prunes were
badly nipped along the river road, but
not so much on higher ground. Early
strawberries were quite generally af
fected, but the fear of further damage
is considerably dispelled by the rains
which make further frosts, for the
present at least, improbable.
Aside from the damage reported, to
fruit from the frosts, the prospects in
Lane for a good crop are encouraging.
The apple crop will be light this year
on account of the heavy crop of 1908.
BENEFIT TO HAY AND FRUIT
Rain In Washington County AVas
Very Badly Xecdcd.
FOREST GROVE, Or.. May 9. (Spe
cial., Farmers are rejoicing over the
showers that are falling: here today.
The rain, being general throughout
this section of the county, is timely for
the crops are in need of moisture. In
some parts the ground is as hard as a
rock, for the dry weather of the past
month is unprecedented, and the sun
has dried uo the soil to a great extent.
The strawberry crop will be benefited
materially, as some of the plants were
withering. The grass will receive new
impetus.
In the Centervllle district It was
feared that if the dry spell continued
there -would not have been more than
half a crop of hay. In the Gaston
neighborhood the same condition pre
vails and the occasional showers are
helping the grass and crops to take a
new lease on life.
ALBANY FARMERS REJOICING
Rain, However, Not Sufficient for
Dry Fields In County.
ALBANY, Or., May 9. (Special.)
Rain fell here last night and today,
being the first real rain the Central
Willamette Valley has received since
the first day of April. It was gladly
welcomed by farmers in this part of
the state. Though not enough has yet
fallen to relieve the pressing need for
moisture on the Valley farms, the rain
today means hundreds of dollars to
Linn and Benton County farmers.
It was the first sign of rain in the
center of the Valley since April 27,
when there was a very light shower.
The last day on which any noticeable
amount of rain fell here, prior to last
night, was April 1. During last month
only .56 of an inch fell here, it being
the dryest April on record in the Gov
ernment rainfall records at this city.

mankind in general has been taught to
crave since childhood's happy hours.

DUEL VICTIM JAY LIVE
WILLIAM HERVE, SHOT BY HEX
RY SCLLIVAX, IS BETTER.
Physicians Say He Has Fighting
Chance for Life and Will Move
Him to Albany if Sheriff Permits.
ALBANY, Or., May 9. (Special.) Wil
liam Herve may recover from the wound
he received in a pistol duel at Gates Fri
day in which he shot Henry Sullivan and
caused his death. The three physicians
who are attending him stated today for
the first time that there was a chance
for him to live.
Herve's condition was much better to
day and the physicians stated he would
probably live a week and might possibly
recover ultimately. Z. Tl. Chapman, of
Portland, a friend of Herve, went to
Gates today to bring him to St. Mary's
Hospital in Albany, but it was declared
impossible to move him today. This will
be done as soon as possible, however.
Some of Herve's relatives from San
Francisco are expected to reach Albany
tonight or early tomorrow morning and
will take the train for Gates tomorrow.
Doctors In attendance have decided to
try to bring Herve to the Albany hos
pital tomorrow, if Sheriff MInto, of Mar
ion County, will permit. If Herve stands
the trip successfully an operation, will
be performed here. As the train has left
Gates he cannot reach here until tomor
row evening.
WHO OWNS GRAIN EXHIBIT?
Id alio Fruit Inspector to Be Sued
for Its Possession.
SPOKANE. Wash., . May 9. (Special.)
The ownership of the cereal exhibit
collected last Fall by the Deputy State
Horticultural Inspector, William Mohl,
for the Lewiston-Clarkston Interstate
Fair, will be determined In a Lewlston,
Idaho, Justice Court next week.
The fair board claims ownership and
asserts that Mohl was paid for his serv
ices last Kail. He secured possession of
the exhibit by securing keys from the
storage-room and taking the display over
the bridge into Washington. If the court
decision ia favorable to the fair com
missioners, a demand will be made on
Mohl for the return of the exhibit, and
it is probable that In the event of a re
fusal a charge of grand larceny will be
filed.
The exhibit consists of fine grasses and
cereals, and is valued at $1000.
