CORVALLIS, OREGON, DEO. 7, 1S04.
SHOULD BE CONFIRMED.
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. Valley Transcript "

FOOTBALL TO STAY.
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.

DSWGHTFUHY ENTERTAINED.
. 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.

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.
