Regarding the Oregon Pa. cine road, Mr. Hammond said : "Until the supreme court decides upon the ap peal brought before it we are not in a position to do anything. If the action of Judge Fullcrton in confirming the sale to us is upheld, the road will be put in tiret-clasa physical condition, the bridges all thoroughly repaired, and then the ex tension of the road will be taken undjr consideration. The extension of that road would develop a great lumber in terest, and would make it a valuable piece of property, it properly handled Band needed connection made. The first extension will be to Independence Prairie 12 miles east of the present ter minus, where it would connect with the wagon road from Prineville, and com mand the trade of Eastern Oregon. Valley connections will also be made in due time, if the decision of the supreme Courtis favorable." Tbacbbrs Listitctk.

The Present Situation. It has been two or three da va since the Democsat has had a Red Crovrn Mill item. With" the public we have been awaiting developments, in the hopes that satisfactory transfer would be made that would .result in the mill being set running, rne report is tbat tbe trant- ler win probably not take place as con templated. a result to be renwited. If tbe statements made by storens are ear ned out it means the arrest, of one or two persons under the statute made for cases covering the use of wheat, not trans- lerrea. The fanners feel their lossesi seriously even though the amounts may not be large, and it is only natural that they should wish to see justice done. Among trie wneat stored was a cartoad for tbe Nebraska sufferers. Mr. Isotn. tbe pres ident, declares that this at least must be returned.

Si. V T COLLEGE MEN A POWER A pleasant appearing young man, of medium stature, possessing an animated countenance, made up ol sood features. faced' an audience at the college chapel last night, somewhat limited in site on account of the aqueous condition of tlio atmosphere. President Chapman, of the University of Oregon, has been lecturing in different parts of the state on higher education. Albany College and its friends were at this time favored with one of nis popular talks. , l lie fo lowing are some of his ideas worthy of notice: He was not speaking in the interest of any particular college: but to induco all students to go forward, to kindle in their breasts an ambition for something higher. Since time began there have been two classes, one has ruled and one been rul ed ; one has worked and paid taxes for others to live in luxury; the man who has had the higher educat ion has been the one who ruled. In 1872 out of 302 members in the house of representatives 138 were college graduates, while in bus iness the proportion was I to 146. The chances of getting in congress are en hanced 60 times by having a college ed ucation. 7 of the first 8 justices of the supreme court were college men, 41 of toe oo signers of trie declaration of inde pendence were college men. The men at the head of the great undertakings in this country today are educated men. At one time a higher education meant that a man was to be a lawyer, doctor or minister. Now there are many fields. The college man now has a great open ing in architecture; in engineering; in farming, which when properly done is a learned profession. About 9& per cent of farmers now are making a failure of their businesft, because not prepared for it. In mercantile life there is another great opening. Out of every 100 in this busi ness 95 fall ; 80 fail twice and 70 three times, because they enter business with out proper preparation. The young man entering one of the learned protections without a college education is wasting his time. Statistics show that the young man with a collejre education has fifteen years advantage in the race for success over tbe man without such an education. The former gains success between 30 and 4o years of age; the latter between 4o and 60 years of age. Today tbe young man meets great competition in business, not experienced by our pioneers, and be must be forti fied. The beet equipment is a college education. The rich men of tMprountrv, though perhaps not educated, believe al most universally in higher education, Rockefeller, tl2.000.000 worth, Stanford, $15,000,000 worth, being cited as ex amples. The reason why colloce men are better fitted for life is because they have not only mastered facts necessary in their business; but they have gotten the pow er to think, to concentrate their thoughts on a problem and get down to business at onoe; their minds have been trained, like regular soldiers in contrast to the militia ; contact with educated men ; because they learn the great problems of lit and have better discernment of right and wrong and the. will to do what is right. The greatest of all college acquir ments. The college men are the power which keeps our national government from rotting. fresident cnapman possesses a good delivery and a presence that commands confidence and respect, i hose who were fortunate in bearing him felt that they had been given a literary treat. Hon. Chas. Jchnson, of Salem, was in the city today. Mrs. Jason Wheeler and- Mrs. J. S. Morgan were in Stayton recently on a viait with Dr. Kitchen and family. Mr. and Mrs. Thoa.

FEIDAT A SALOON ROW. A Free Use of a Cheese Knltc Caimcs Wood to Flow. A live saloon row occured about 11 o'clock lout night in the saloon of H. L. Oranor, on Ellsworth street. Aliout that time Henry William i, of the Flrt street saloon, entered Cranor's place. Mr. Cranor was behind the bar. A ditqmte arose, w hether over a new or old matter the Dkxochat does not-know. The re suit was that Williams grabbed the cheese knife lving on the lunch counter and attacked Cranor. Considerable blood flew. Cranor was cut somewhat in the neck and on the hand, the latter lieing done in trying to get hold of the knife. Williams received a few scratches and a dark eye. A barkeeper who was pres. ent in attempting to seiarate the men was also cut some. The blood on the floor and towels this moniing testified to the character of the contest. The injur ies to Cranor are said not to have been serious. No arrests had been made at tres time: Mr. Cranor not liavinir..iHirvd for the purpose of securing a warrant. Two Tramps.

THE REASONS WHY Scott's Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil and Hypophosphitcs is so useful in all wasting diseases, such as Consumption, Anaemia, Scrofula, Rheumatism, Bron chitis, and Marasmus and Rick' cts in children, is because it furnishes to the depleted blood the fattening and enriching properties of the oil, and to the bones and nervous system the phosphorescent and vitaliz ing1 properties of the Hypophos phites, which together nourish the body arrest the progress of the disease, ana commence process of repair that finally means restored health and vigor. Don't b vtrmadtd fo acent onbtHhttif Scott L Bowao, N. Y. Ml DruggliU, (fc.aixl$h SALOON KEEPERS VS DRUG GISTS. The city council at its next meeting will have another matter to contend with. Last evening at 5 o'clock the sa loon Keepers of the city lield a meeting, at which it was decided to petition the city council to require theliixsnsingof all drug stores for selling liquor except on a physicians prescription and as allowed by law. It was asserted at the mee ing wiai ine nusiness oi me saloons was be ing infringed on by the 'SruggUts of the city, and as the former nav S400 a vear for lii-eiiHe, at a time when it is dithcult to make tho license money, they want protection. It was even asserted that liquor is sold by the glass outside of the saloons. Mr. Baumgart declares that if the council does not give the required protection he will put in a small stock of urugs in uie iront ot ins place and run a drug store. This movement is in keep- tuc ou i ua i inaugurated in Portland. The druggists on the other hand de clare that they have lived ud to the spirit of the law, and that they do not infringe upon the business of the saloon keepers; that their sales are in the direct lino of their business and for med ical purposes. WORSE AND WORSE. A lar-t? number of whrat storers in the Ked Crown Mills, who have been getting Hour, feed, etc, on their wheat account have been surprised by receiv ing siateiuenis i-om n adliams dc Co., of Portland, notifying them that accounts of the Red Crown Mills had been trans ferred to them and that there is due on tbe same Uie sum of , which they would please settle. It is said that about (A.OOOon accounts have been transferred to Wadhams & Co., and that farmers and others who had gotten flour and feed there expecting, of course, that it would lie taken out of their wheat account, will not only have to lose their wheat but al so pay the bill. Very naturally those receiving these statements are hot. and if something doesn't pop it will be a caution It looks very much as if pro ceedings have been for the purpose of delay. At all events litis is the ore vail ing view. There is a growing indenta tion at the manner in which the Red Crown Milts affair lias been run. Mr. btorkman met some of the credi tors this afternoon, showing them their' wheat balances. Ho stated that all flour and mill feed accounts bail been credited on wheat accounts, and that there sras a misunderstanding on that point. Several witn wheat accounts. Uiough. have re ceived statements from Wadhams & Co.

The Review gives them as follows: Tbe new board of trustees of tbe Ore gon Soldiers' Home met in the citv Tne. day morning and elected C. B. Ormsby president, and m. ualkoway, vice- president. C. oraham, of this Aty. was made secretary protem. Auditing com mittee, Ormsby, Robertson, and Gallo way; executive, Ormsby, Alley and Robertson. The board spent Tuesday and Wednesday at the home making a kind of a general inspection, going over tbe books, accounts, elc,an.l getting onto the details of ewrdday life and work there. Their idea is to thoroughly in spect everything and reorganise matters, herever they consider a change advis able. Regarding salaries, tbe board ave made (he following changes in the line of retrenchment: new old 1730 1000 300 e 360 600 400 500 S40 240 4S0 tWO 130 144 120 144 SfiO 300 'ommaodant Matron Adjutant Surgeon Laundress Cook Waiter House girl Teamster armer armer and teamster con solidated 300 xtra help 350 tecretary 100 ' 400 Tbe net saving according to the new schedule will be over $1400 a year. Up to the present time no new officers have been elected by tbe board, and it is not probable that any changes will be made lor Uie present, except in commandant. As near as we can learn, W. II. Byars stands the best show for that place, and . ti i t ,i nuuipureT, oi it miieion, wen nown throughout the state, will be elected to Uie office of secretary of the ooaru. Win. Galloway.

Capt. Humphrey will be me secretary. Not Forso. Wm. Scott of Corvallis was in the citv yesterday from a search down tbe river for Uie body of his fath er, i nor cou, wno was drowned some weeks ago. One day last week Uie of ficers of the steamer Eugene in coming down the river saw a body floating in tbe water near uuena ista, but made no ct tort to secure it. This was supposed to lie the body ot Mr. Scott, Imt that was the last seen of it, and the eon, who came down Uie river aa soon as notified, could find no trace of it.
