HE ATE HORSE STEAKS.
A. W. 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.

THE OI'E.MSG.
A Busy Day t the I'ulvmlty-Lon

.
''''J Guard, September Irt.
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.

"THE SEW WOMAN."

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."

is said to be wider than some of the

one wheel of lurge dimensions. One
casting weighs 4,500 pounds aud the

hope the enterprising proprietors of

grinding out several millions of gold
bullion lu the near future. Two car

live any duy from Chicago to be
placed in the (ioldeii Star mine of the

there was about to be a 'numerous' aud
good sized move, lu Bohemia. There
are Rood indications of a general movo

of the mouldy dry bones lu Bohemia

Ellis dopurltd for Portland last
Saturday to have his leg, which
was brokon iu the runaway over

rmiirii of 'Oil. examined, and if

limb was broken more than three
years ago, it has given Mr. Kllis
much trouble evr dneo that liim,
and for a few weeks pant he has nt
times suffered great pain. If mi
o ratiou is necessary we trust Mr
Kllis may soon recover from tho
same, and that ho may again have
perfect use of tho injured limb.

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,

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

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. Tho
third h Mr Philip Jumcs Bailey,
who 00 years j?o was famous as
the author of "Fcstus," but who
has in died out of recollection that
fuw of the present generation has
ever heard of him. Once he was
rated far ahead of Browning in pub
lic estimation,' and his admirers
claimed that he would leave Tenny
son out of sight.
