Our agricultural colleges may not be all that it is claimed for thern and often are criticised by sound, practical and successful farmers and horticulturists, who believe that a boy should start his educa tion in the field, and like a young tree grow up surrounded by mother-earth. There was a time when such a method was proper. That time has passed. A tanner and gardner of to-day must not alone possess mechanical skill and diligence, but education as well. He will never get educated hoeing in the field or scraping in the barn yard. The agricultural college af fords him the very education he needs. If naturally industrious, a boy or a young man will find the college his best friend. He will returrffrom it a better farmer and a more intelligent man. It is true that many young men who have attended college fail to go back to the farm. This is no argument against the college, but simply goes to show that young men seek what they deem a more suitable profession. We cannot make a farmer out of a young man who hates the pursuit. The few that do return to the farm exert a pow erful iufluence in their neighbor hood provided they apply their learning properly. Let such men successfully grow crops or feed stock, and the chances are that their neighbors will be profited.

The man with "a little learning" is a dan gerous man, and usually the most onspicious one in rural districts. New Jersey Agriculturist. The Independence West Side says: The present law governing assessors is a strong law; but the Tery people who are clamoring against repealing the indebtedness jelause are the ones who would, re bel if the assessor did his duty. As the tax levies are acknowledg d to be just twice too much in Oregon, if property were taxed at full value the owner would have lo pay his just share. That is what he does not want. His plan is: Tax my land at one-half its value, and the mortgage I take -out-will relieve me from any taxes. Winter is on deck in the East. "The wires bring sorrowful tales of boys breaking through the ice and jdrowning. But is not this delight ful summer weather we are hav ing in the Willamette valley? And to think only one more month and the winter season will be half past. We have every reason to be thankful that we are living in .God's country. The Alta Californian says: Sit ting Bull sits no longer, but is out bellowing on the warpath, in the belief that he is the bull fated to butt the locomotive of civilization joff the bridge. This bull's hide will be on the fence before spring. the government should take the bull by his horns and choke his -wind off.' The-republican,, party is the party of. deeds, not promises the party of progress. It does some thing. The democratic party - is afraid to do -anything, or to let anybody else do anything when it can help it.; This will be plainer iu 1802. Statesman., 777 INDIAN MESSIAH. The excitement among the In dians of the Northwest in regard to the coming of a Messiah among them grows with each succeeding week. It is said that there is no fear of an outbreak against the whites, as the Messiah comes to command peace and prohibit bloodshed. It is to be noted, how ever, that those who accept the truth of this Messiah most firmly, and are most stirred by his com ma;, are among the bitterest ene mies of the white race. The promises held out to the Indians, too, are not of a kind that can be gained by pacific means. They do not incline him to cultivate a field and to work and to make a home for himself, but rather to re turn to his wild life and his savage nature. According to the most accurate reports that can be ob tained, the prophecy has been made that the Western continent shall be given back to the red man and the plains covered once more with the innumerable buffaloes. The whites shall disappear utterly from the land, and no barrier shall be placed to the roving hunter save only the great waters of the sunrise and the sunset seas. Against a belief of this kind in a barbarous mind it is impossible to aniue. The verv facts .which to the educated man are destructive of superstition, are to the ignor ant a confirmation of its pretenses. Thus we are told that one of the chiefs who has been in the East and has seen the wonderful things of civilization, finds in them only a reason for believing the miracu lous prophesies. "Among the white men," he said, "I was shown a machine through which I could talk with a man a great way off. This was very strange, and so are these things which it is said are going to be done; yet it is true, and so it may be true that the buf falo will come back again and the white man be driven away. Against such philosophy as this reason is unavailing, ihe Indians have no cause to love the white man, and in their revengeful memories they doubtless cherish many causes why they should hate him. It will be well therefore, that the people in the vicinity oi the reservations should be watch ful and the garrisons strengthened for nothing but fear can prevail over a madness where it is vain to look for affection. A war with the Indians while their natural ferocity of nature is intensified by fanaticism of a religious character would be terrible and would prob ably not end until nearly the whole race was exterminated. Gladly as we would like to see all parts of our country freed' from the savages we would not like it freed in this way. When the In dian goes we would have him van ish utterly. We do not wish him to leave his trail of blood upon land where are to be the homes of our children. San Jose Mercury. A young man of Menominee, Mich., who surrendered $3,500 of embezzled money and was let off on account of his friends, requested of his employer a letter of recom mendation to assist him in getting another place. He had about as much nerve as the man who takes his home paper out of the postof fice for two or three years without paying for it, and then tells the postmaster to notify the editor that his paper is not wanted any longer, never offering to settle for it. The names of 6uch men should be made known to the public in the form of a black list. Every county paper could contri bute some names to such a list. The geysers of Iceland are play ed out. The great geyser spurts only once in ten days and then but feebly. The only greatest geysers on earth now are in California and Yellowstone Park.' Chicago has packed 2,500,000 hogs since March 1st. Kansas City is second in the United States with half that figure... THE RAILROAD RES PONS BLE. The State Board of Railroad Commissioners, after an exhaust ive inquiry into the causes of the Lake Labish wreck on the Southern Pacific road last week concludes that the com pany's theory that the removal of a rail by some person caused the disaster is not well grounded, and that the real cause of the wreck was the insecurity of the bridge across the lake. This was the con- elusion, of the coroner's jury and i covinced of this fact the better it the investigation by the railroad j will be for him and the prosperity commission which has been care- j of the state. The Pacific Press fully and thoroughly made. The j says: company has been given every op- i There is nothing more cormnc portunity to bring out evidence to I ing than figures, and therefore substantiate their theory, but they last month's shipment of California could not convince the commission fruit by overland railroad should that Miav wpi-A pnfirplv Wamftlflss I be convincinr evidence of this in- in the matter. So, until the railroad company can prove conclusively that some designing rascal did remove a rail for the purpose ot wrecking the train, the responsibility for the ter rible disaster must rest upon them.

Bishop William Taylor, reply ing to an invitation to attend the national W. O. T. TJ. to be held in Atlanta next month, presents in his brief letter a striking commen tary upon the evils resulting from the liquor traffic in Africa. He says: uIt would afford- ne special pleasure to accept, were it possi ble, for vours is the .real issue of the day and Of great import, not cue iictj & f ' I V onlv to our American homes, for whose defense you stand in the name of God, but, also, in its re lation to mission work in heathen lands. Poor Africa's deplorable condition under the rum curse is darker than when the stealing of millions of its people caused Li v- ingston to call it the -open sore of the world." A hundred steam ships that sail from European and English ports to the west, south and east coasts, carry a principal cargo of rum and gin. Hamburg alone, by two lines of steamers, exported to Africa , 200,000 tons of rum last year; and many other cities, including our own Boston, are engaged in the nefarious busi ness of turning a Mississippi of death and destruction upon the de fenseless Africans, annually decim ating whole sections of that coun try. Our only hope is in the gos pel. God bless you in your great work." Encourage money to come into Oregon. Make money plentiful and it becomes cheap.

The following should be a some what convincing argument to those Oregon farmers who still cling to the idea that wheat raising is the sole profit of the farmer. There is no disputiug the fact that Ore gon fruit is equal if not superior to that raised in California, and that fruit raising is the coming in dustry of Oregon, especially of the Willamette valley, and the sooner the Oregon farmer becomes dustry growing in public favor. There were shipped 4986 tons of raisins, 6296 tons of dried f?uit, 8983 tons of canned fruit and 5800 tons of deciduous fruit. The total shipments aggregate 21.079 tons for the month of November, re quiring 2107 cars to take the fruit to its destination. Besides the . L. , . , 0n auove, mere weie biuppeu. . .. n . tons of wine requiring 379 cars to move it. Notwithstanding the above heavy shipments, the cry comes- from the East for more fruit.

Parents, do you realize how your little ones suffer, when their tender skins are literally on fire with itching, bnrning, scaly, and blotched skin and scalp diseases? To know that a single application of the Cuti cura Remedies will often afford instant re lief, permit rest and sleep; and point to a permanent and economical (because so speedy cure, and not' to use them, without a moment's delay, is to be guilty of positive iuhnmanity.
