Nye Says They are all Right, Too. Pendleton E. O.: A. W. Nye has returned from Bwitzier island with renewed strength and two stories. One is about big apples. He gathered a crowd about him on Main street and related how he picked apples from the trees on Switzier island so large he could not get them in his overcoat pocket. One of the average size was large enough for four men to eat at one time. This was proven by producing one of the apples from the pocket of his sack coat. They are really elegant specimens of the Oregon apple, or im mense size and perfect In flavor. Mr. Nye's story next told was in answer to the question asked by a friend: "What makes you look so much better, Ad?" "Been eating horse steaks," replied the returning tourist. "I went down on the Columbia river and John Switzler and I were discussing the question of eating horse meat. To settle the question we killed a yearling oolt and cut up the meat in steaks, roasts and boiling pieces. As we were doing the work, my stomach revolted at the thought of eating the queer food, but I went right on, and finally the first steak was cooked. Bay, friends, it was as fine meat as I ever ate. You cannot tell it from good beefsteak, a.nd if as good beefsteak were always served, no one would ever kick on that score. "We ate the colt's meat fried, broil ed, roasted, boiled and in every other conceivable style, and pronounced it first class. When a quarter was hung up, no one but an expert could tell it from a quarter of beef, and I honestly believe a butcher could hang up a quarter in his shop and sell it to regu lar customers, who would never detect the difference. The grain Is fine and the flavor Is Just such as would suit an epicure." Mr. Nye will send for some of the meat, invite a few of his friends to the feast and demonstrate that cnyuse steaks are good enough for a king. Dally Gturd, Septembor 13. A Union Church.

The University of Oregon opened Its uoors this morning upou a bright and busyday tor the commencement of the new school year. The program posted upon the bulletin board annouueed the following order of exercises for the day: 10 a m, studeuts' ussembl ; 11 a m, address to student; 1 p m, asrlgn inent of advisers; 1 p m, examination for admission, in president's orrice. Though assembly was anuounced for 10 o'clock yet long before that time many itudeiiis might be seen weudlng their way toward the university cam pus, and by 0 o clock the halls and various departments of the dlll'ereul buildings were thronged with pro feasors, students and visitors. Many new students were there and strange faces were to be seen mlngllug every where with the merry, eager crowds ol studeuts. They all sought the bulletin boards; many spent the time while waitlug viewing the many rare col lections in Professor Condon's room while as fast as posslnle others were being registered in President Chap niau's room. The gymnasium and dormitory received their share of vis itors, while the new laboratories lu Deady Hull were the scenes of do little attraction. Among those present, ever alert for the best interests of the school, were itegenis Hendricks, rtovey and Friendly. President Bloss of the State Agricultural College was there too, with his pleasant smile for every one and seemed to be taking as much interest In everything as If he weie at home in bis own college. At the dormitory 38 boarders and roomers have registered, and 50 rooms In all are engaged. The dormi tory will accommodate 74 persons, and Mrs Watkius, matron, hopes to have it crowded during a part of the year. Last year the dormitory opened up with 3(1 occupants, both boys and girls being kept then. The general average last year was 50. Only boys are kept this yer. Two and possibly three educatioual departmuts will be located in the dormitory this year. This is owing to a lack of room In either Deady or Vlllard Halls. K 15 McElroy, professor of Ethics, will oc cupy the room used as gentlemen's parlor last year and Miss Philura Murch, tutor in modern languages will use the ladies parlor. No appartment has yet been assigned to the depart ment of music, under Prof Baker, but the matter will be decided by the regents at their next meeting and It is likely that a room in the south end of the dormitory will be designed fur that purpose. At 10 o'clock all assembled In the auditorium of Vlllard Hall. At least 4C0 studeuts were present at this open ing exercise of the university. President Chapman, presided, and the professors each made announcements to the students in iegard to recitations, etc. This work Mulshed, Prof Baker favored the assemblage with a selection upou the pluno, after which Dr I D Driver, was introduced and delivered the address of welcome to the students of '1)5 0. Tne work of organization of classes begun in earnest this afternoon and in a short time recitatlous will be heard in their regular order. The i) n m be r of new studeuts regis tered today Is 03. It will be impos sible to tell the total number registered until the work or registration is n n ished. Mew Cases.

Do .Not 'Cackle" at Her Is the Ad vice of ITi'Mdent Chspmsn. CorvallU Times: Woman' was the s u bj e c t ot a kvture by l'resli etit Chain iiiau of the State University at the eourt house W'eduesday Might, ami on account of a downpour of rain but a small audience was lu attvudanen. The U eture was a part of the evening's en terialumeiit by the Normal Institute, and In addition to it thtru was a neatly rendered recitation bv Miss Minnie Dinner, and minus by the popular bachelor quartette and other singers. President Chapman i bruit lly in sympathy with the 'New Woman' movement wild addressed himself to the task of removing lire- Jtulice against it, and with much cam- tat news and force. Whether or nut our women were to wear bloomers, he said w its a mutter to be left entirely to the tastes of women, who wer the persons chiefly concerned, and the women might be relied upon uot to do anything unwomanly lu the mutter or manner of their dresH. The storm of objecllou and criticism that was meet ing tbe advent of the 'New Woman' were the same storm objections hurled at evolution by pulpit, press and pub lic w hen Darwin first promulgated the theory. Tnls storm would with the lapse of tlmo pass away just as It did with evolution, aud we are all to be come the friends of the 'New Woman' Just aa we have become believer lu evolution. When the stranger euturs a bui n yard all the hens set up a cack ling through fear that ho Intends to harm them. Neither the stranger nor the 'New Woman' Intends harm, ami the cackling raised at the approach of the latter is as unwarranted as the cackliug at the former. "The best Intelligence In the country President Chapman said, was In the woman. Their minds are lighter, but made of better stuir. In the univer sities where they are admitted, women are snatching the prizes away from the men. There Is no fear that the 'New Woman' will ruin the home. A majority of womeu are born to and will marry. There are many women, though with ambition for business, professional or artistic pursuits, and there is no need to spell homos by denying them the opportunity to pur sue their nmbition. "President Chapman Is an enter taining speaker and lie deeply Interested his audience." Machinery Arrived.

It looks as though there was about to be a 'numerous' aud good sized move, lu Bohemia. There are Rood indications of a general movo In Bohemia which will cause things to hum.

Acapu'.co is 1836 miles from San Francisco, so that an average speed of 13. 10 knots an hour whs made. A good many records have been broken this season, both east and west. Tbe latest is from California and is given by the Ontario Record as follows: A Santa Barbara girl, aged 17, got a divorce one day last week at 1:15 o'clock; at I:2Ushe was taking out a marriage license; at 1:2) she was hunting a man to tie to; at 1:30 she was married again.

Our vocabulary is too meager to do tho subject justice. If Parker Pearsons Valentine will come forward and be hanged or take his chances of it, he can have 1300,000. Valentine is wanted in Minnesota for murder, and they want to give him his big estate, boquoathed to him in the will of his mother, Mrs. Lucy A. Valen tine. Mrs. Valentine died in Col umbia county, Wis., two years ago. She had considerable property of her own; and she inherited about 135,000 from the estate of her half brother, Hiram ' A. Tearsons, the capitalist who was drowned in Lake Michigan. A portion of the proerty is in San Francisco. Some people are wondering why the wheat market is -so dull. Here is probably the key to the the situation: Last season 100 cargoes ot grain were shipped from Oregon and Washington ' seaports, while at present only about fifty ships art known to be available for loading grain at either Portland or Tacoma. That being1 the case, grain buyers are making but few offers, nor will they until more tonage is in tight. There are now only ten vessels in port at Portland and most of them are not to he loaded until October. In the faoe of these facts would it not he wis for farmers to hold on until the situation changes? There are at the present time, says the Boston Hen Id, three Eng lish poets, each of ' whom has passed his 80th year and is living in retirement and in the enjoyment of a reputation that is in the past. One is Frederick Tennyson, now in bis 00th year, who has carried his art into old age, and is even now preparing a volumne for publica tion. The timo was when tie seemed to be a greater poet than his brother Alfred, but the laureate long ago left him behind in the race. Another is Mr. Aubrey dt Vere, whose father, Sir Aubrey de Vere, was a friend of Wordsworth, and whoee poetry is in some sense a reminiscence of the "Lake poets." Ho has written largely on Roman Catholic subjects, but his work has been better adapted fof a small circle than for the multitude.
