Positive assurance is had that at least one bidder will be on hand at the coming Oregon Pacific sale. This is certainly enaouragfrigTjews. For three year the people have been anxiously waiting for a successful sale of the properties. That this will be such an one, is the earnest wish of every one who has the state's welfare at heart. Prior to Mr. Clark's management, and after the road went into the hands of the court, an indebted ness of a million and a quarter was in curred. A considerable portion of this is owing for labor and material to men who can illy afford to wait. Yet they have waited in the vain hope that the road would sell for enough to liquidate their claim3. Time after time, the? properties have been offered by the sheriff, but on two occasions only have bids been made. The first one for some cause or other was never completed, while the last one the court considered toosmall, and on that account refused to confirm the sale. Creditors, who have entertained hopes that thev would eventually get relief from a sale of the road, are beginning to see that these hopes were false ones. That railroad buyersTare not jumping over each other in their eagerness to purchase the property, and that in any event there is little likelihood of a fancy price being paid. Although, under the present economical management, the road is paying expenses, it is furnishing no revenue for interest on the investment. Had it done so, the road would never have been in the hands of a receiver. Men will not put their capital into rail road schemes, unless they believe there will be some return on the investment. . fThey are now confronted with cold, stubborn facts. The road will not pay interest until it is extended. To extend it to an eastern connection will necesi- . tate the outlay of a vast sum of money, and under suchjcircumstances it is unfair to presume thatj the 142 'miles of road now operated will sell for anything like . its cost. "wait uu vie yj. r. pays up" nas oe come a common expression all along the line. Time was when creditors might have expected payment in full of their claims, but such a happy termination of affairs is now among the improbabilities. To continue the suspense by refusing to confirm anything like a reasonable bid will only prolong the agony. Better far for all concerned that the road sell for a etn.11 anm r ri i r-1 oa urlirh will il neo if rn " - t" i""" a firm basis, and extend it to an eastern connection, than allow the present and otherwise interminable litigation to con tinue. Experience has proved conclu sively that insolvent estates should be settled with dispatch; that failure to do this, results in a loss, because whatever increase in price is had by waiting, is usually exhausted in defraying expenses consequent upon the delay. Receiver Clark has demonstrated that the road will only pay, ..'expenses, and keep the line in repair. That it will not earn a profit on the investment, has been proved to the satisfaction of all. These are plain truths, and it is need less to longer disguise them. Intending purchasers are business men, and at tempts to delude them into the belief that the property is worth four or five million dollars are useless. They will bid what ; they think the property is worth to them, and no'more. A horse may be le4 to water, but can't be made to drink. The same is true of intending purchasers of the Oregon Pacific. It can be offered for;sale, but no power on earth can force bidders to pay for it, more than they consider it worth. If any reason able bidismade' at the coming sale, it should be confirmed. 'Failure to do so will be la serious blowjto the; road, the creditors and to the state. - - As impression' seems prevalent re garding the school law, to the effect that once selected, a textbook must be used throughout .the life of the six year con tract, regardless of the price or adapta bility of the book. This is altogether a wrong impression. Section 12 of the law provides against any possible trouble of this kind, in - the following language: "Provided further, that nothing in this act shall prevent the state board of edu cation ordering the superintendent of public instruction to issue special circu lars to the county superintendents and state board of examiners to select as in the regular vote any new textbooks or series of textbooks in use, when in the judgment of the state board of education any textbooks or series of textbooks in uce is supplied at an unreasonably high price, or is found to be excelled by more recent publications in that branch, or for any good and sufficient cause ; and it is hereby provided that the county superin tendents and state board of examiners shall select a textbook or series of text books immediately as in answer to regu lar circulars of the supt of public instruc tion and report to him their choice, and such selection shall immediately there after be made known officially as in the regular selection ; and such textbook or series of textbooks so selected shall be introduced in all the common schools of the state within . Six months after such announcement" WHO ARE CONSISTENT? "Consistency, thou art a jewel." In matters political there is one paper in the state to which this virtue has never been accredited. Yet it is attempting to edu cate the press of Oregon in republican consistency. Republicans, it says, in advocating an increased use of silver take themselves outside of the party. In sup port of this theory a plank from the last republican platform is cited. It, how ever, fails. to state that the same conven tion which adopted the platform referred to also nominated and voted for C. W. Fulton, W. P. Lord, Harrison R. Kin caid, W. R. Ellis and Binger Hermann These men are all friends to the white metal and some of them have been ardent advocates of free and unlimited coinage. This is particularly true of Mr, Kincaid, who, for forty years, has never wavered in his silver policy, and yet his devotion to republicanism has never been questioned, ine Oregonian nas never been accused of consistency ; therefore there is nothing strange in the fact that during the last campaign it ably support ed the republican ticket, and its columns contained many flattering notices of Mr. Lord, Mr. Kincaid and Mr. Fulton, while it now claims that these men are outside the party and the papers that endorse their views are either democratic, popu list or epicene. To have been consistent with its present know-it-all style the Oregonian should have bolted the ticket last spring and not waited until this late day to inform old gray-haired republicans that they are outside the fold. It cer tainly looks well for that journal to be setting up a kindergarten wherein our governor and secretary of state elect, our congressmen and other leaders may be taught their A-B-C's in republicanism. In reading between the lines, however, one can plainly see that there is a strong effort to make it appear that Dolph's return to the senate is the sum-total of republicanism. On the other hand the Gazette is 01 the opinion that no con sistent republican can possibly favor such a scheme. A month has scarcely elapsed since the press of the land was in a perfect ecstasy of delight over the defeat of Hill and the destruction of Tammany Hall. The rout of the low born and low-bred cohorts of that body of malefactors who ran the whole gaunt let of crime from blackmail to murder, from thieving to treason, was regarded as the climax of one of the most remark able and momentous political struggles that the world has ever seen. This gang of boodlers and political highbinders were the intimates of Hill, and the universal disgust which he and his cohorts 'had inspired in decent men is evidenced by the overwhelming majority given his opponent Apparently the Oregonian was no less pleased over the victory than other papers of the state. Yet it advo cates the return of Dolph to the senate where his intimacy with Hill may con tinue uninterrupted ; where these boon companions may lay their heads together and concoct schemes for the reorganiza tion of Tammany Hall ; where they may continue in their petty attempts to humiliate the president, which undigni fied, unpatriotic and un-American course has been characteristic of each. New York has repudiated Hill ; Oregon can do no less than repudiate his associate and confidential friend. To return Dolph is evidence that the people of "Webfoot" sanction and approve his course in forming an alliance with Hill whose principal business has been the advancement of Tammany and the thugs who control it. and the humiliation of the president. If to favor the selection of another than the friend of this poto- rious ringster, as senator from Oregon, be inconsistent with republican princi ples the Gazette is perfectly willing to be classed outside the parly lines. We do not want this state to be represented by a man who is known to be allied with any such corrupting influence a9 Tam many Hall, and if the will of the people prevails Dolph will not succeed himself. Loyalty to party does not mean sacrifice of' principle : but the re-election of Dolph means disloyalty to party, dis regard of the desires and interests of the people, and the sacrifice of principle. Will the press of Oregon favor his return and denounce Lord, Kincaid, Fulton, Mitchell, Hermann, Tongue, Ellis, and a host of others, as traitors to republican ism simply to meet the Oregonian's ideas of party consistency? The Gazette thinks not In all but its length, the president's message was a disappointment He still hopelessly contends for tree coal and iron ore. Inlhis action, he was perhaps prompted by a spirit of retaliation toward x-ennsyivania, tor having rolled up a 250,000 majority for protection. "On the vital question of silver he says only enough to show his enmity toward its interests, and then loses himself in recom mending a visionary banking scheme which will find but few supporters. Al together, the document will be given lit tle attention, for the very good and suf ficient reason that no plan for the revival of paralyzed industries is suggested, and no thought for the welfare of the thous ands of idle workingmen is expressed. W. P. Lord is the ideal candidate for United States senator. The republican party of Oregon owes to itself and to the state the selection of such a man. He is the favorite, and failure to elect him will be a disappointment to the masses. CerTalni,y Senator Dolph cannot object to having opposition for re-election in fact he cannot complain if he is not re-elected. The first time he was elected it was against the wish 1 of nine tenths of the people of Oregon. Mr. Dolph cannot complain at taking a dose his own medicine.

The renewal of the contract for anoth er five years, by which the annual Harvard-Yale football game is to be played on Hampden Park in this city, makes it certain that the leading American inter collegiate athletic event is a fixture in Springfield. We congratulate the two universities upon this final disposition of the question as to where the game should be played. Prior to 1S89, when the first of these contests was brought to this city, there was endless friction over the deter minatiou of this question, resulting in 1S88 in no game at all. But since our local accommodations were originally tested this old source of wrangling has been eliminated, for with each successive game has come yet another demonstra tion that this is the ideal place for the event It is needless to add that the citi zens of Springheld will be pleased to learn that the contract has been renewed. And this circumstance reminds us that football has come to stay. Last year at this time a vigorous attack was being made upon the game by certain ' influen tial journals on the ground that it was both brutal and excessively dangerous. A great mauy'parents became frightened lest the six-foot Philip or Reginald shoud come home with a broken back, while most college faculties were driven to carefully reconsider the entire "football question." All the leading monthly reviews printed "symposiums" by college presidents, and there was a great flurry and scurry among "veteran half-backs" and "old players" in defense of their favorite and well-beloved sport Now all is changed. We haven't noticed a single denunciation of the game this fall in any influential newspaper or medical journal and it is to be presumed also that fond parents rest easily every blessed night, notwithstanding that Philip or Reginald is a prominent candidate for the eleven. For some reason, the sport survived the attack, and here we have it upon us again, materially unchanged from the much-berated game of Novemter last. Football at some points is open to criti cism, but it is evident that it has finally won its place as the leading college sport of America. Springfield (111.) Republi can. DROWNED Willi, E HUNTING. Last Wednesday afternoon, Bays the Al bany , Democrat, Nicholas Spreuger,' Jr., went goose hunting, riding a hrse. His des tination was to be Horse Shoe Luke aud the bar in the Willamette near it, about three miles west of Albany. Wednesday night hia dog returned home, and the young man not returning, his father went up the river to hunt for him on Thursday. H1W horse was found near tho lake, with the saddle on but both stirrups gone, the bridle broken, the baiter tied around the horn of the sad dle, and the horse well covered with water and mud, indicating that he hnd had a struggle in the water. Mr. Sprenger came to the city and organized a party which left for the- scene of w lat was un doubtedly a fatal accident in 'some form. Everything indicated that yoiuig Sprenger was drowned in the slough leading into the Willamette. Tracks were traced to the bar, where he tied his horse and watched for geese, then returning toward home. A low bridge without railing crossed the slough, aud is now throe feet under water. As it was dark, probably shortly after 6 o'clock, he undoubtedly missed the location and went off into, the water. A searching party of about fifty men with fie or six boats aud hooks, continued the search dar ing Friday forenoon. At about 12:30 o'clock the body was found at tho bottom of th slough in ten feet of water about ten feet above the bridge. It was brought to the home of Mr. Sprcucor. The deceased was a bright young man of splendid habits, a perfect gentleman, genial and upright. He was a member of the Presbyterian church, and. was beloved not only by hia fellow members and parents, but by all who knew him. Tho community loses an exemplary young man. He was about 19 years of age. The funeral occurred Saturday morning. Th family of deceased were well known in Corvallis where they lived many years igo. Jake Sprenger, the youug man's fath- t.a . , 1 T 1 I er, will be rememoerou Dy oiu rcsiaeuis as the architect who constructed the old Fisher brick, while his uncle was for several years proprietor of the City Hotel, that stood on the corner now occupied by Stock' storr. According to our informant, iatahtits seem to have pursued the family for year. The young man's grandfather, Ed Murray, was drowned, and two uncles met sudden deaths, one by drowning and the ether by the accidental discharge of a gun. A lecent wire to the Oregonian from Spo kane states that State Senator Belknap, of the fifth senatorial district, this county, is an avowed candidate for the United States senate. At a "meeting of the Spokane delegation he declared his candidacy, and a asked its support in the legislature. The delegation cave him no hope. He is an Oregon boy, having been born in Corvallis. He is a hold-over senator. At tha last ses sion of the leeislature. he voted 101 times for John B. Allen. A Herald of tho Infant Tear.

The entertainment given by the football team last Thursday evening after the game with the Portland University, in honor of the visitors, was largely attended and thoroughly appreciated. President Bloss addressed the audience, speaking more par ticularly to the teams. He said, that while our boys had suffered defeat, they should be proud of the fact that they played a clean, honorable game. Mr. Washburn,- captain of the university team, and the first man who ever carried the ball over the O. A. C.'s goal line in a contest, was introduced, and made a neat speach. Henry Desborough, of the college team, followed, and put every one in good spirits, by relating a story that it would puzzle Henry himself to see the point to. In fact, it was very much like our tide of the score no point to it. Prof. Edwards spoke briefly, thanking the faculty and stu dents, and the citizens of Corvallis for their hospitality and splendid treatment. A reci tation, "Tom's Little Star," by Miss Lillian Hamilton, was heartily applauded. Miss Hamilton's rendition of this very difficult selection was altogether charming and artis tic. As is-usual with Mr. A. T. Buxton's efforts, his essay was given close attention A surprise was given the audience iu the declamation of Harold Dimmick. This youug gentleman has a style that is sure to make his work popular. Miss DeForeat teacher of elocution ia the Portland Univer sity, recited that uncanny ((host story by Mark Twain, but her audience would not be content until she favored them with "The Bells." 'She proved herself to be possessed of an excellent voice, over which she has perfect control. The program was interspersed with music by the O. A. C. quartette, the Symphony Club, and two delightful solos by Mr. H. R. Clark.

One day this week the attention of a charitable citizen was called to the destitute condition of a Corvallis family, and upon visiting them, in company with his wife, was startled to find the larder nn supplied with the necessaries of life. Two of the children ware sick and without proper raiment or medical caro. They wero alo found in need of beds and bed ding.

NEWSY COII.EGE NOTES. The football team has just gone through a very trying experience, bat from the way appearances are now, it has all been for the best as the boys are practicing every day with grim determination not to ' come out second best on any more propositions like that last Thanksgiving. At a meeting held on Wednesday, Ralph Terrell was elected captain in place of Brady Burnett, who hat been obliged to discontinue playing .011 ac count of a weak knee. "Pap" McAllister was elected assistant captain, unanimously. Three challenges have been received by Man ager Additon; one from the soldier's team at Vancouver, Will Bloss boing the captain and manager. The Junior Multnomah's also would like to play our boys, and Wed nsday a challenge arrived from the recently orgaaiezd Portland amatdur athletic club team. It is impossible to say now whether any or all of these games will 'materialize, The college team has a game with Forest Grove on Saturday, Dec. 15th, and will at tend to this one game now, and let the others wait. Some members of the college football team would like to give the Albany "man about town" some pointers before he tries to write up another football gime. It.ia hoped that he will accept the offer, as a few more ac counts similar to the one that appeared in Friday's Democrat would mix football tac tics, plays and the game generally so badly that readers would not know whether it was a Chinese war or an Irish wake that was being reported. Two new bulletins will soon leave the O. A., v. presses. Une by Prof. (Jraig on "Thistles, and manner of exterminating them;" and one prepared by Prof. Washburn, on "Oregon Caterpillars." Both bulletins will be illustrated by half-tone and line engravings prepared by Prof. Pernot.
