AGRICULTURAL COLLEGES.
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 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

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

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.

to be a grand improvement over
the old style method of casting

fraud or humbuggery, and instead
gives every man a chance to poll
the vote of his choice without in
terception from ring politicians,
and leaves no chance for bribery

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

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."

DOES IT PAT.
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

CUTICURA REMEDIES.

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. No greater legacy can lie be
stowed upon a child than a clear skin and
