I,ast Friday evening several of the college students, tvo of the professors and their 'wives gave Messrs. Morrison, Cooler, Veatch and Kidder a surprise party; after which they serenaded sev eral persons, including President Bloss and B. F. Irvine. Miss Anna Woods, who lives near Al bany was last week granted a permit to teach until the next quarterly teachers' examination. Miss Woods has been en-' gaged to complete a term of school in Dist No. '4 for the regular teacher, Miss Burkhart, who was compelled to resign on account of sickness. We have a number of copies of the g-eech delivered in the senate recently by Senator Mitehelii Ui6h the Subject "Tariff Cm Wbdl and the Condition of the Country.'1 This speech is an able tme aid Is worthy of careful perusal. A few copies of the address yet remain at this office, -which can be had free of charge by parties desiring one. Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Bryson entertained a few friends at their home on 7th street last Friday evening. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. J. R Bryson, President and Mrs. J. M. Bloss, Prof, and Mrs. F. Berchtold, Mr. and Mrs. ThosI Callahan, Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Huston, Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Davisson, Mr. and Mrs. A. R. ( rvionman and Prof, and Mrs. G. A. Co- veil. ' G. D. Marks, of Kings valley, was in town yesterday. He says the valley is experienceing a religious awakning such as was never before known in that local ity. The meetings are being condncted by Rev. I. S. Fisher, and have been in progress several weeks. About forty conversions is the result of the revival T which number twenty- five have joined the church. As an. instructor in the manly art of self defense Tommy Smith is certainly a success. For the past few weeks he has been giving lessons in boxing to a num ber of young men, and Saturday night the class gave an exhibition of their skill in the old engine house. Those who attended the afiair say that several of "Tommy's" pupils have attained a degree of proficiency that is indeed remarkable. Prof. U. P. Hedrich of the Oregon ex periment station, will shortly issue a bul letin upon "Prunes, Apples and Pears in Oregon." The foundation of the bulletin is the data furnished by the horticultural survey of the state recently made under the direction of that department of the college. It will be a practical paper and useful to fruitgrowers. These bulletins can be procured free of charge by appli cation to members of the station council. Carey Martin is not a nephew of Sec retary K'nciid's, notwithstanding tl; s information was telegraphed to the Ore- gonian by its correspondent at Salem and has been copied by the state press. Mr. Martin is no way related to Mr. Kincaid. He is a young man who started in poor and worked his way through the Univer sity ot Oregon. He is holding his pres ent position on his merits alone, and the malicious attack made by the Oregonian's correspondent, from purely personal mo tives, is unjust, and basely misrepresents the statements which he made. Eugene Guard. Since the first of the month, Messrs Nolan & Callahan have been endeavor ing to locate tue Holder ot ticket No. 643, who was entitled to the elegant leather chair that was given away by the firm several weeks ago. However, after four weeks of dilligent inqujry, the lucky individual put in an appearance Monday and took the prize. His name is W. Seemit, and his postoffice address is Phil omath. He does not read the newspa rs, and learned of his good luck while conversing with some of his more intel ligent associates at a dance. Prof. Hedrich has drawn up plans for the improvement of th college campus. Instead of a straight walk through the middle of the grounds, his idea is to have two walks diverging from the entrance gate around either side of the grounds and meeting again at the college. The south-western part of the campus- wiU be devoted to a race track, grid iron field, tc, vfhile all the space between the walks will be artistically laid out as a park. The college possesses ideal cam pus grounds, and under the able direction ot fror. iieancn students will find in fam the lessons always taught by the beautiful in nature. Professors French, Shaw and Cordley are in Eastern Oregon this week holding farmers' institutes under the auspices of the Agricultural College. Mnday and Tuesday they were at Union and yester day and today at Milton. At each place Professors French and Shaw were an nounced to lecture upon "The Agricul tural College and Its Work," Illustrated by stereoptican views. Prof. French also appeared on the program for a talk on "Wheat as a Stock Food." Prof. Shaw was scheduled to lecture upon "Alkali Soils; Their Cause and Treat ment," while Prof. Cordley was announc ed to discuss "The Use of Spray Com pounds." The professors are expected home tomorrow. At a special meeting of the council held Monday evening, the ' levy for the city was placed at the same figure as that of last year seven mills, two mills being for street purposes and five mills for gen eral municipal purposes. An unsuccess ful attempt was made to reduce the levy to six mills, by cutting ofF one mill from the levy for general purposes. There is a considerable amount of the city's tax delinquent and the opinion seemed to prevail that it was not best to run the risk of more delinquencies and consequent inefficiency of the levy. . With the coun-! ty, state and school . levy 18.3 mills, the special school levy of 2 mills iu district No. 9 and 7 mills in the city, the total rate on property within the municipal limits will be 27.3 mills; an increase of 2.8 mills over the levy for last year. Dr. Thompson, at the Presbyterian church, Sunday morning, spoke vigor ously against narrow-mindedness in church life. "Christ," he said, "is larger. than creeds." He pictured the sinful ness of those who raised up their own gods in the form of creeds. "Men," he remarked, "are willing to fight and die, if need be, for seventeen kinds of Meth odism and twelve kinds of Presbyterian ism." Many people otherwise liberal in their ideas, become dogmatic and narrow- minded iu their Christianity, and want to knock ssmebody down with their belief. The hour demands clean cut, intellectual statements, not dangerous denunciations of other forms of worship. No church has absorbed all the good in Christ John, Paul and Peter each saw different sides of Christ's character, and the epis ties of each represent different phases Of His life. The cbufctt is ' frauei with. mortality and has not attained full excel lence, but the mission of the several de nominations is the same to teach God and His love. The several branches of the church have a higher mission than searching for and pointing out the frail ties of each other. Narrow sectarianism is doomed.

It is reported that Adam Bamberger, the other day, helped himself to a fifty cent piece belonging to his sister, Mrs. Thressa Albrecht Hearing that she had accused mm 01 tneit, nis tairst lor re venge is said to have prompted him" to commit two other crimes of even a more terious nature. Of these, the first was that of stealing a revolver from the room of Harold Dimmick in the Occidental hotel. And the second was to threaten his sister with violence at the point of the stolen pistol, unless she retracted the accusation she had made in regard to the loss of her money. But for the timely interference of Chris Germansen. who was calling on Mrs. Albrecht at the time, the. affair might have resulted seriously. As it was, however, no one was injured Bamberger will probably be arrested. Attorney J. H. Wilson returned Mou day from New York City, having been absent exactly two weeks. - Mr. Wilson was east on importaut legal business, the details of which can not at this time be made public. During his four days' stay in New York Mr. Wilsou spent most ofj. his time in the society of his brolher-in law, J B. Walker. Mr. Walker, who is a draughtsman of exceptionable ability, is employed in drafting depaitment of Muau & Co.'s patent office. In addition to this work he does considerable writing for the editorial department of the com pany's -well known publication, The Scientific American. In the latter role he is meeting with splendid success. His articles are receiving widespread atten tion, and a e f..v r .bly comu.e ited upo- , not only in the United States Lut in Eu rope. The athletic inclined j-oung men of Coryallis are about to construct a track for bicycles and sprinters. The college athletic association is also connected with ' the movement and the work will begin as soon as tue ground is dry enough. One of Judge McFadden's five acre tracts west of Job's Addition has been secured tnrougn me Kinaness 01 tue juage ana j Chas. Blakeslae, the renter. The boys j figure that it will take between $ 75 and ? loo to fit up the track, besides the labor ( that will be subscribed. Considerable of. this amount is already available. The ! new track will probably be dedicated ly a field contest between the Corvallis ath letes and the college boys, perhaps early iu March. It is to be a quarter-mile track, and constructed after the latest approved types. Ail persons interested in the matter, or in other athletic Fports 1 are requested to meet at the court house j J Saturday evening at 8 o'clock.

Hillsboro Inde pendent "A Study In tke Economy of Cattle Foods" is the subject of bulletin by Prof. Sliaw, which is being sent out this week by the experiment station. It is an ad -mitted fact that the greatest success in stock feeding can be attained oniy by the adoption of scientific methods; the result of years of study and experience. Mr. Shaw says that tils history of investiga tions to ascertain just what are the cor ect proportions of nutrients to feed animals to produce different results) that the most economically, covera a period of about thirty years. A ehemical anal ysis of food stuffs, he states, is the. firit step to render the results of feeding ex periments intelligible, and is absolutely essential to an understanding of the material used in rations. " "It is the foun -dation upon which the whole question of rational system of feeding rests. By chemical analysis it has been possible to determine not only the amount of nutri tive matter in a great many fodders but also what per cent of each class of nutri ents is digestible." Thus it is seen that the department of chemistry connected with the college is one of great impor tance to the farmers, although some per sons, unfamiliar with the matter are in clined to think it a needless expense.

The following letter appeared in a recent issue of the Oregonian. The article was written by Hon. C. B. Moores, speaker of the last house.- It is one of tho most timely articles on stale politicle matters that has been made public for a long time, and eon- tains so much food for careful thought and study that the Gazkttk publishes it in full: No pastime has ever been more popular with the American people than that of ut tering maledictions upon the heads of mem burs of congress and of the legislature. It is ono national fad which never wears out. Whenever wo are in trouble, our first 5m pulso U to look for a scapegoat. It was this peculiarity of humau nature that started populism in Kansas. Hundreds of thous ands of peopluwentoutto make homes upon tliu pniii it lands of that state with baroly sufficient money in their pockets to build , , ., , . . . 1 .v., - ---.7 wiivnvt money in large sums, and about the time pay-day came around, a drouth and a bliz zard and a cyclone or two came with it and brought them into just that condition of mind which gave the populist demagogue 1 hi opportunity. Tho republican party was ,t'ie most convenient scapegoat, and every time a blizzard came howling over the plains ,tt lalf doze" populist politicians came howl- ing along in the rear, and the populist vote increased and the republican vote decreased in direct proportion. Today tho people everywhere are burdened with a heavy load of taxation, and the most convenient scapo goat upon which to shoulder the responsibil ity is the last Oregon legislature, and among the loudest in denunciation of that body are many lately weaned taxeaters who have fed u'P'uously at the public crib all their lives Ona of the most deeply injured, who cannot bo classed as a taxeatcr, is our friend Dr. J. L. Hill, of Albany, who devotes a column in your issue of Saturday to what ho calls the Mollio Maguireism" and tho "hull-born" !aws of lhe ,ast repubiican legislature. Cur ft jeni js f a vcrv placid and phlegmatic 'deposition or he would hare spokon mure severely and not have tempered his remarks with such judicial placidity. - One would m- for that the la.t assembly "was positively the worst that ever betrayed a tax-ridden people; but can vou recall a singlo legislative assem bly in the past generation that has fared any better iu the public estimation? Unfortu- inatelr, hdtn.in nature is so constituted, and Iegii-hifures are so constituted, that no law making a.-jembly ever does meet public ex pectation, even though Uie errcat maioritv of f uch body may be composed of not only capable but conscientious wjn, anxious luitbiully to servo the public, lhe last legis lature was like all its predecossors, but tne I n,.,,..l .... : 4t. l.,. t l.n il -,-n rrU ,- j and of all shades of political belief were beingcharged with complicity in swamp land frauds. In all th; reckless charges which have been made against the last legislative cottiK!v tlinrft is nafliintr that has irnnntMl 1 n 1 I it .if t..A nriminnliltr nlli.a-nd against tho legislative bodies which have gathered in our state capitol in past years; and here it is proper to interposo the sugges tion that none of these legislative assemblies were guilty of one half of the offenses of omission and commission witn wnien they were charged, "Your Albany Cof respondent is a man of high stsndlng in his profession, and as a citi zen, but about one term in the legislature Would immensely broaden his horizon. He would thereafter "sing exceedingly low" about legislative extravagance and ineffi ciency, even if he had 89 other legislative compatriots just like him. There is no man in tho country who could so successfully con duct the American nation out of its present deplorable financial condition as the populist who last week made an assignment of his peanut roaster for tho benefit of his creditors. All experience shows that it is mu'.h easier to moralize over matters of this kind than it is to correct tho evils from which we suffer. No legislative body ever did meet public expectations. None ever will, and no man, however high his resolve, ever came out of a legislative body with half as much self-satis faction as he carried into it. " Indeed, as a rule, the man who promises the most before he gets in, and who talks reform the loudest after he gels in, usually goos out with the sorriest record". A man in tho privacy of his own sanctuary can reform th world with the utmost ease. The same man will go into a convention with 89 others and come out of it with absolutely nothing but his experience. As a rule, a legislator is neither better nor worse than his constituent, and a leeislature is always a fairly representative body. The burdens carried by tho people of this state do not arise from any extravagant appropriations made by the last legislature, but so long as yellow dogs are scarce, we do not feel disposed to protest against the indul gence of the human propensity to kick the nearest legislator and the latest legislature. Let that propensity havofree vent, and let it be conceded as the high-born privilege of every citizen of the state, who has an acute attack of the colic, to. relieve it by taking down his gun and banging away at the first member of tho legislature who thows his head. The Indian "medicine man"-no loses a patient, never protests against the fate that awaits him. Why should a legislator? Let us, however, repeat the protest that our present tax burdens were not imposed by the last legislature. For this others must be held accountable. The fault lies largely in causes beyond the reach of tho legislative asscmbl; t The specific appropriations made by that body did not cause the hard times, and Hie abolition of the railroad commission and tic cutting-off of the committee clerks would not have brought the universal prosperity. Legislative critics spend nearly all their time watching the spigot and leave nobody to stand guard over the bunghole. The small leaks attract our -whole attention. The most serious evils arc overlooked and apparently not appreciated. No one pretends thnt tho legislative appropriations could not or ehould not have been curtailed in many ways, and yet the cutting-off of every appropriation against which protest is made would make scarcely an appreciable difference in our tax levy. For this excess, too, the people them selves are directly responsible. At every biennial sessian, avery section of tho state comes down to share in the distribution of the treasury surplus. Union county wants a branch asylum; Gilliam wants a normal school; Umatilla wants -on appropriation for her normal school: Morrow wants all appro priation for the Columbia river; Lakeview wants ono for a graded school; Jackson county wants one for a normal school at Ash land; Douglas for th j school at Drain, and the Soldiers' home at Boseburg; Lane for the state university; Benton for the slate agricultural college; Polk for fho school at Monmouth; the other counties for their orphans' homes at d othe-i purposes, and the "faalem hog" for the rest. Every constitu ency holds its representation responsible for any failure to secure the pet local appropri ation, and the man who "Stands agast at tho until 01 itie general appropriation bill is often tho most unsparing critic of the legis lator who votes against his favorite appropri ation. The clamor of all these various con stituencies for a local appropriation, and the threat of political extinction for tho repre sentative who fails, forces tho legislative dicker -which makes common cause of all these scattered interests. .every constituency wants an appropria tion, and evory constituency condemns the total which is the logical resu't of its own local demands. These different appro) ra tions have varying degrees of merit; but, whether good, bad or indifferent, their spon sors are compelled to make common cause, as tho failure of one may mean the failure of all. These legislative combines have always been vigorously denounced, but tho people themselves are primarily responsible for them. It is a fact too worthy of comment that the net results of these so-called raids upon tho treasury ars greatly exaggerated. You may strike out from our last general ap propriation bill all that is set apart for the railroad commission, for tho state university, for the state agricultural college, for stato and district fairs, for the stato board of equal ization, for the Weston and Monmouth nor mal schools, and for all tho various homes, and you have saved the taxpayers less than $75,000 per year less than one-tenth of the total appropriation. In other words, undor tho present state levy, which amounts to 4.8 mills, yon havo saved loss than K ot 1 mill. In Salam, whoro our total tax amounts to something more than 30 mills, the man who pavs a tax of $60 would save just $1; and yet practically the whole army of critics join in denunciation of tho legislature which un necessarily imposed that extra dollar of tax, while those who are responsible fur the remaining fco'J ro-ocho the cry, pile up tno fuel under the boilers of their indignation and chuckla in high glee at tho success in diverting the attention of the taxpayers from the real sourco of trouble. It is not probable that the most rigid economist could safely promise to so reduce our appropriations as to affect the stato lovy to tho extent of one mill. Tho great bulk of our appropriations are for the care and sup port of tho depondent and criminal clcsscs, and the reports shew that with us the per capita cost for this purpose is less than tho average in other stales Next comes the heavy cost of our judicial and administra tive departments. This might, in many ways, bo reduced, and yet tho aggregate possible reduction would be but as a drop in tho total appropriation. This is not to be construed a an argumont against tho reduc tion of extravagant appropriations, b itni a protest ftgaintt attributing to the last legisla ture all tho woes that nffiiet mankind. "The datardly crime of 1873 is about tho oily disreputable thing which has not been laid at its door nd there seems to be a lurking suspicion in the minds of many that possi b'y we had something to do with the demon itizati!n of silver and tho consequent de pressed condition of the wheat and cotton market. Criticism of public officials often loses its force because it is too often exaggcr tod, too often unfair, and too often indiscrim inate. In the confunon of popular clamor, tho re -pons ibiiity for public abuses is often shifted, and the real culprit escapes. Dema- g-igues of all factions, with tho loudest pro fesMons of indignation, and with tho most nniheiic nr'severatior.j of devotion to tho "plain people" of tho country, will bend every elF-rt to Ox tho responsibility for thoir own shortcomings upon tho other fellow, and the real criminal often comes out of the du-t and smoke of battle as tho popular favorite. It is well enough to talk about eliminating money fr:m polities, to sav for the ton thosisoiidth time that the people are aroused, to tell us that tho taxcaters aro to be relegated to tho rear, and that slate, county and municipal corruption mast come to an immediate end, but this expected political niillenium will never coma until at least nine tenths of the voters of the country are "born again" in a political sense. No man can be permanently successful in cither commercial or political life who dyes not attend strictly tr, l.iulri.iss evrv JrtV In UiS Vear. But A more fraction of tho people of the country make a busSne of politics, in tho higher sense-. Th.i majority do not attend tho pri maries iie tenths of those who do not attend the primaries never make their pres ence felt at the conventions, and tho delegates to our conventions consider their duty done Awarded v .

U v f! 1 whsn the convention adjourns, for at lens; nine-tenths 01 tho burden of taxation which is borne bv the people, the responsibility rests with local sentiment and with local offi cials, who are presumed to voice, tho senti ment, and a mere pittance is chargeable to the legislative assembly. In attempting V fix responsibility there seems to be no general desire to 6eek original sources of information but rather a disposition in effecting future reforms to follow the lead of that particular Moses who happens to have the most religi ous tone of voice. "The abuses complained of cannot bo fix-.d upon the republican party. Under tho smne combination of circumstances, no party at d no legislature would do any hot tar. A simi lar conflict at the next session wiil bring the same results. Dr. Hill's panacea of popu lism would make matters infinitely wors, Nebraska tried that.

Tho legislature of 1895 should have done better. The same has been said of tho legis lature of 1893, and all that preceded it. 1 l.e same will be said of tho legislature of 1SU7, and all that succeed it.
