CORVALLIS, OREGON, JAN. 8, 1897.
CONCERN AS CITIZENS.
No matter how we feel toward
Senator Mitchell, as party men,
our broader interests as citizens
speak eloquently in his behalf.
No state could demand better ser
vice from her representatives in
congress than that rendered Ore
gon by Mr. Mitchell. Even the
Oregonian gives him credit for
unusually faithful and effective
labor in behalf of the immediate
interests of the state. Mr. Mitch
ell commands the respect and
friendship of his associates in the
national, senate, and his familiar
ity with men and methods there,
is of great value to the state of
Oregon. ,,v . ,v, x :,
A measure of greafi importance
to the citizens of this state, and
especially to the farmers, is . now
before congress, and definite ac
tion will be taken within the next
two years. The opening of the
Nicaragua canal means to the
farmers ot this coast a nearer
market, a decreased cost of trans
portation and a consequent better
price for their products. They
cannot afford to neglect any op
portunity for furthering this en
terprise, and their best interests
demand the re-election of Senator
Mitchell, one of the foremost and
ablest advocates of the building
of the canal. ... ,
There are those who
would sacrifice Oregon' sjnaterial
wellfare on account of alleged
misgivings concerning a matter
that is positively settled for at
least four years, or for personal
or political revenge. They are
not good citizens. They are nar
row and selfish.
The people of . Oregon owe
nothing , to Senator, Mitchell, but
they owe it to themselves to see
that their representatives in the
legislature return Mr. Mitchell
to the position where he can be
of the best service to the state.
AS WE ARE KNOWN.
A disease cannot be cured by
attempting to ignore.its existence.
It js not wisdom nor courage, but
rather indolence that asks "What
is the use of troubling about it V
. Citisec who are interested in
the weffiare of , the Agricultural
College cannot afford to adopt the
don' t-say-any thing policy. The
best permanent interests of the
institution will be subserved by
a frank, honest discussion of its
merits and defects. We all know
that politics has its hold upon the
college and that it cannot erow
and prosper as it should until its
management is absolutely divorc
ed from politics.
The following article from a
California paper only mildly rep
resents an opinion that is fast
growing in our state:
Recently a bright . politician
named H. B. Miller was appoint
ed to the State Agricultural Col
lege in Oregon. Onemorning
last week a figure representing a
man's body was discovered sus
pended from a flagstaff: of the in
stitution and in the place of the
-weather signals floated a flag bear
ing in large letters the words, ' 'H.
B. Miller may know how to run
a sawmill, but he cannot run a
college. ' ' In addition to the effigy
there were legends .expressive of
dissatisfaction with the president
painted on the front doors of the
main college building and doors
of the chemical laboratory. The
action of the students is not to
be commended in any sense, yet
the incident only brings into
bolder view the decadent state of
educational affairs which honest
educators have to contend . with
in the webfoot state. All the in-
. stitutins , for . Jrigher . education
there are distressed -by the politi-
. cal machine which dwarfs them
to give fat places to unsuccessful
office seekers whose ability enti
tles them to no recognition from
the people. Sissous (Cali.) Mir--ror.
.. "The Corvallis Gazette was
amoug those who most violently
opposed Senator Dolph two years
ago, because he was against free
coinage of silver," says the Ore
gonian, which often enjoys mis
understanding. Dolph's financial
views had nothing whatever to
do with the Gazette's opposi
tion to his re-election, nor, we
suspect, is Mr. Mitchell's attitude
-concerning silver, the real cause
of the Oregonian's plaint against
him.
The Gazette cannot pretend
to speak for Senator Mitchell.
This paper is perfectly satisfied
with the Senator's republicanism,
and has no fear that he will op
pose any really republican policy.
It declines to cure the blind that
won't see, and refrains from at
tempting the hopeless task of
convincing the Oregonian.
If a college trained man who
is a business man, cannot be found
colleges should be abolished.
- The fact that several of those
who opposed Dolph two years
ago have turned populist does
not throw discredit 1 upon the
fight against the candidate of
Simomsm. It is but a step from
the sublime to the ridiculous.
Washington embraced popu
lism to escape McGrawism.
Winter Sprays.
Prof. A. B. Cordley, entoinolo-
gist at the Oregon Experiment
Station, in the last press bulle
tin, contributes an interesting ar
ticle on "Winter Sprays," which
we publish in full.
"Every person," he says,
"who owns an apple tree, a pear
tree, a cherry tree, a fruit tree of
any kind, if he has not lready
done so, should plan to spray
these trees in the near future.
This advice does not apply alone
to the horticulturist thef person
who is growing fruit .as a busi
ness. It applies as well to the
farmer who grows fruit.only for
family use. , It applies, to the
dweller in ; town" idrljpity.v who
grows only a few trees -in the
back yard or vacant lot. In fact,
it applies with particular force to
the last of these classes. The
progressive , horticulturist does
not need such advice. He knows
that the health even the life
of liis trees ' often depends upon
such sprays. He knows that the
quality of his fruit, and hence
the quality of his success de
pends on such sprays
"But we are apt to neglect lit
tle things. The farmer or city
dweller with but a few trees is
apt to neglect them. They are
a side issue, of but little ac
count His intentions are good.
While planting the trees, he can
almost taste the fine fruit they
will produce. He plans to take
the best care of them. He will
cultivate them, prune them,
spray them.
"But when the time comes to
do all these things, other lines of
work , are more pressing. I he
trees are neglected. They grow up
if they live at all, gnarled, moss-
covered, pest-stricken parodies of
'what might have been' valu
able only as showing how not to
do a thing. The fruit does not
equal the famed 'Apples of Sod
om.' It is not even beautiful to
look upon.
"The person who is unwill
ing to igtVe the necessary atten
tion to his trees, to grow good
fruit, should go out of the busi
ness. He should not attempt to
grow fruit even for his own use.
He will get no pleasure from
fruit growing. His few ) trees
will give his premises a shiftless
look wilVsatiinivlrim? as a shift
less man. He will get no profit.
The: land" could better be used
for other purposes. He will suc
ceed only in making his trees a
breeding place for fruit pests
in making his trees a public nui
sance. ,
"Still every farmer, every per
son who can, should grow some
fruit. He should "plant with
care and then continue the care.
The care that he bestows upon
his trees will measure" his suc
cess. With care, they will be a
source of pleasure and profit.
Without it they will be a source
of disappointment.
"Winter sprays, or indeed,
sprays at any time, are not all
that is required to grow good
fruit But they are one of the
essentials and now is the time
to think about supplying them.
Get your spray pump ready; get
all necessary materials on hand ;
and some time between now and
the swelling of the buds, give
your trees ( at least two good
sprayings. " ' There is no other
time so favorable for controlling
the various bark diseases. There
is no other time so favorable for
destroying the San Jose scale,
the wooly aphis, and the eggs of
the green aphis.
"If your trees are infested
with San Jose scale, , spray with
the lime, sulphur and. salt mix
ture. If not, use a strong cop
per sulphate solution.5'' . .. ; ;
An Amatuer Detective
Amcng the spectators at the
trial of the Salvation army lieuten
ant, was Plutarch Lewis. fPlutarch
is a follower of Ballirigton Booth
and is the sole ' representative
of the American' Volunteers
in Corvallis. Plutarch has been a
a defendant in a criminal action
himself, and thereby hangs a tale.
According, to Tarn Case, whose
veracity is only excelled by his
imagination, Plutarch was the vic
tim of misplaced confidence in his
own ability and the earnestness of
John Moore.
"Moore and Plutarch," says Tain
'were partners in I lie detective
business, with headquarters in Cor
vallis. It was a co-operative, di-vision-of-labor
association. Plu
tarch paid all assessments and
Moore absorbed all dividends.
There was a dividend declared
every time Piute paid an assess
ment, and an assessment was
-levied every lime Moore needed
some cash.
"About 1891, there wasa stage J
robbery in Douglas county, and
the firm' sent Lewis down to ap
prehend the robbers and secure
the reward. Moore fitted him out
with false face, revolver, wig and
other paraphernalia mentioned in
the Nickel Library, and Plutarch
betook himself to the scene of the
hold-up. , j?
"Plutarch socn" struck a hot trail
and kept it up all day. - Toward
evening he grew hungry, and put
ting false lace, wig and revolver
in his overcoat pocket, he called
at a houe where no one was at
home, but a young lady who fur
nished him with Eolid refreshments.
Lewis hung his overcoat on the
porch wall and went in the house
to dine. A few minutes later the
young lady's beau came in, hang
ing his coat by Plutarch's. Ac
cording to her custom, the young
lady searched her lover's coat for
candy; that he waarn the habit ol
bringing her. Unfortunately she
found the wrong garment " and
brought to light Lewis' detective
outfit. Thinking . them to be her
Sunday fellow's, she donned them
and marching up to him, 'frighten
ed him out of tv week's growth.
, 'Revealing her identity, she was
informed that the property was
that of the - stranger who, coming
put at that time, claimed the outfit.
He, PlutarchjMhen 'paid for 'hts
meal and departed on the hunt
About- an hour latei-ps- parfx
from MedfordwhpwiareJiu lUutg.'
for the' stage robber, toppetal
the house and being informed of
the recent visitor with the false
face and wig, hurried after him.
Plutarch was quickly overhauled
and captured. Despite his proles
tations, he was hurried to the coun
ty jail and. the tf. S. marshal was
notified. Plutarch in his sore
straits revealed the fact that he was
a detective, but the officers only
smiled a knowing smile and refus
ed to free him. Next day, Lewis
was 1 alien to Portland. Corvallis
iii ii'l-i being notified they-, seem-
Lewis' dismissal ' and
1'iiii .roii left the jail. His first
id was t throw up his commis
sion as detective and lie; 'has 'not
hankered alter police duty since."
A Gazette reporter interviewed
Lewis yesterday about his detec-.
tive experience and was shocked
to learn. that Plutarch -flatly de
nied Tarn's story. '
"I went to Douglas county,"
said he, "to take up a claim and
found work 111 a Medford hotel.
1 was arrested there, the officers
believing me to be the robber, as
I answered his description. I was
taken to Portland, where I was
kept two or three days until my
friends came down to identify
me." .- -v.- , ,
This version, however,-is -very-tame
compared with Tain's story
and Tain's reputatiori,"as' i tale
teller .entitles his descrlpAipiiiVto

Concerning' the College.
The board of regents of the
State Agricultural College met
Wednesday afternoon and fin
ished its session yesterday.
Several matters were up for
discussiou, but no definite action
was taken at this time on any
thing of importance, except on
the -matter of state aid. The
board will ask nothing this year
from the legislature except an ap
propriation to keep up repairs to
the buildings. - Five thousand
dollars will probably be sufficient
for the purpose.
The board also raised the an
nual salaries of Dean Berchtold
and Prof. Pernot $300. The for
mer will now receive $1,800 per
annum and the latter $1,200.
The regents present were Messrs.
Keady, Apperson, Hillary, .Kil-
len, Church, DaveHpoxt, Irwin,
Yates and Hughes. -;
THE IMPENDING CA8TASTROPHE.
The Oregon legislature meets next week
and Salem -will witness, some exciting
scenes. This session promises to rival if
not excel any previous one in interest and
many dramatic features will doubtless en
tertain the members of the third house.
The first -fight will be an organization.
Simon claims he has the ' presidency: of
the senate already in his control. In the
house, BensQj'of Josephine seems to have'H
the lead for speaker. Brown of Morrow
and Riddle of Douglas are working hard
for the position. Bourne of Multnomah
has a fighting chance, for the selection of
Simon as president of the senate may dis
gust some of the house republicans to
such an extent that they will vote for
Bourue to "even things .There, will
be a spirited contest for the', other-offices
of the', two houses, and then will follow
the scramble for clerkships.
While Senator Mitchell's re-election is
practically assured, there will be an active
and moneyed opposition. Corbei$'is

crime in his case very quickly.
About four o'clock Wednesday after
noon, Tavenuor, who is known also as
"Wild Bill," went to a cabin ou the Over-
lsnder p-'ace, about- tltrce miles west of
town and purloined a gold-filled -'-watch'

suspected Tarennor, vtlio had been seeji

was gathered ia by the officer aud put
through a "sweat box." . ,
He denied vigorously for jawhile, all
knowledge of the crime, but the engag

nor changed front and with a betweea
friends air, told Skipton and Burge: i;"If
you dou't tell anybody, I'll, tell you
something. This is confidential and I
don't want you to give me away. You

promised he .wouldn't arrest him, and
'Wild Bill" confessed the robbery aud
told where the things were secreted-
Burge went with him - to recover them
aud Skipton made complaint before
Squire Carlile. . Burge recovered his
watch and $2.50 in money and a little
later Constable Maddox appeared with -a
warrant and tookr Tavenor in custody.
Skipton didn't arrest him. ii: .
Squire Carlile held court at 10 o'clock
that night, and the articles being worth
less than $35, Tavennor pleaded guilty
and was fined $25, which he will pay by
doing 12)4 days time in the county jail.
He said he wanted to get -out before
