college opened this year under very flatter
ing prospects, having several more profes
sors than formerly, and its halls instructing
over two hundred and fifty stndonts. The
new five story dormitory for boys; recently
erected, and supposed to. meet the demands
of the institution for several years to come,

the earliest pioueere and 'enterprising. citr
zena of Oregon, . W. W. Chapmangdied al
his home in Portland Tuesday, aged 8i
years. It, is a fact not generally know&
that Col. C&apfnan was a former resident of
Corvallis. After distinguishing himself ii
public life as one of the pioneers of IowaJ,
he crossed the plaius with a small company,
consisting of the Chapmans, - Gilberts;
Starrs and Belknaps, who on the evening or
November 13th, 1847, reached Mary's riverj
near what was then called Marysville, now
Corvallis. CoL Chapman,, and, famll- re.
mained during the winter, and meved to
Salem where he engaged in the practice of
law. From there he went to Oregon Citv.
and made his way to Portland, where he
became one of the town proprietors, and
was instrumental in making that place the
commercial metropolis of Oregon over Mil
waukie anc .Oregon City, who were theA
striving for tiTr&t position. He was alse the
moving spirit in the establishment of the
Oregonian newspaper, and gave it its name,

time of his demise.
Adjourned City, Council Meeting. -i
The city couucil held an adjourned sessiori
lnesday evening. All the members of the
counpil were present except Job, .Wilson
and Oiksoti. An ordinance providing for
the appointineut of. J. O. Kelley as engi
neor-to prepare plans for the construction of
sewerage and water works, to 'superintend
the same; and his compensation for sticlt
work to be 10 per cent of all money ex
pended for such improvements under $25,
000, and .six per cent of all over thai
amount. The rules were suspended and
after the ordinance was read the third time.
all the members present except Eglin voted
for its passage. An ordinance was intro.
duced proyiding for. the awarding of con
tract for the repair of certain streets to Dl
A. Osburn. Hartless suggested that ho be
allowed until June 1st to complete jits con
tract, and made a motion to that effectj
which failed to carry. Waggoner then
made a motion that it be specified that the
contract be completed in sixty days, which
carried. On motion the rules were sus
pended, and the ordinance was read the sec
obd and third times, when it was placed oii
its final passage, and defeated. On inotiori
the council adjourned until October 31st.
The. Curfew Bell. It is arTundisputetj
fact the curfew ordinance requiring all
children to be off the streets by ninj
o'clock in the evening, unless they have let
gilimate business, is productive of the best
results, notwithstanding statements to the
contrary. As soon as the toll of the fire
rbell denotes that the hour of nine is depart
iug, there is a scattering among the
"kids" in the direction of home, that is re
freshing. When the curfew ordinance is
strictly enforced in all its 'provisions, tha
tag of the lire bell answers a two-fold pur
pose. Besides the timely warning it gives
to stray nrchios, it serves as a forcible re-,
minder to husbands who are iu the habit of
staying out late( at night, that it is tiino to
iiie homeward, unless the lodge has a spec
ial call meeting.
An Important Decision. The supreme
court decision in the case of J. E. Hamil
ton vs. T. J. . Blair, et al, appealed front
Benton county, has been published in full,
The decision of the lower court was affirmed
for the reason that the Salem Capital Floor
Mills Co., who. were a party to the snit id
the trial court had not been served with
notice of appeal. The court found that the'
plaintiffs and defendants, Thomas .Cooper;
Marion Cooper, Cooper Bros., and O. HeC .
d'erson have not received any part or por
tion of the wheat so stored in said ware
house, and thereafter made, a decree in fa
vor of the plaintiff, and the defendants be
fore mentioned. From this decree the de
fendants, Hamilton, Job & Co. and J. E.
Henkle & Co.,. appealed to the supreme
court with the result'above mentioned.
, f , . : ,
The supreme court has unanimously sus
tained the constitutionality of the Idaho
test oath law. This proviaion refers to
mormons who apply for registration for the
pruposeo -voting", who are required to sub
scribe to the constitutional provision wbicrl
requires that he shall not practice polyg
amy or belong "to an organization thai
teaches or encourages it. The additional
qualifications' passed by the last legislature;
is that the elector shall not since January;
188, have belonged to an organization thai!
teaches, or has taught, encouraged or has
encouraged polygamy.
