Trwident Chapman ol the atate university at Eugene, hat been in the eaut, apparently, looking for another lituation. Possibly think in he had secure J one, his resig nation of the presidency of the Oregon state university was allowed to Locoiiie public Later it seemed he concluded to hold on to what he already had, rather than trust to chance of getting something elve, and so telegraphs he is coming back "In all the course pursued by 1'rcfident Chapman, the last action is perhaps thJ most disappointing, and it is cetainly m ist derogatory to his character and abilities, The withdrawn resignation should be demanded by the regents and a:ted upon." DECIDEDLY TOXOl'KY. From the Corvallis Times; A racy personal correspondence be tween Congressman Tongue and a reputable Benton county republi can is on, as a result of the fight over the Corvallis postoffioe. The congressman prefers It M Davidson for postmaster and the local states- mm prefers some one else. Re cently Mr Tongue was told ia a letter that if he secured the anoint ment he sought, that even the Sileti Indians who elected him in the last campaign could not again save him from de'eat in a second race for congress, Mr Tongue replied, in a twelve page letter that was vehement in its statements, in which ho declared that he had always been able to make a living before he went to congress and that he could do the same thing again. The local statesman .wrote back that in the event Mr Davidson should be appointed thit it was the earnest desire of a number of lionton county constituents that Mr Tongue at once introduce in coDgrees a bill appropriating money for the purchase of 10,000 fishing poles to be used by patrons of the Corvallis postofiico in getting their mail. It is now the congressman's turn to file a rejoinder, and the guess ia that it will be exceedingly interesting. Boiw! Springs Excumlon.

The farmers of Oregon will con tribute $100,000 this year to tho grain bag trust. And this is only one of the iniquities of McKinley trust legislation that robs the pro du:er under guise of protection to our industries. 1 he worst of it is the average farmer does not appre ciato the robbery that is being prao ticei upon him but shouts and votes for this so-called "protection to American industries " as regular 1 v as an election comes around. The trusts and corporations who are benefitted by class legislation put up the boodle to carry the day, then the producer must pay for it. Tke millions of dollars that were spent to carry the last election eventually will come out of the pockets of the laboring men aid consumers. ..ii ORK10. l'ACll'IO AMKS8MKNT, The assessois of Llun and lleuton counties bave fixed the valuation of the Oregon Paolllo railroad at the pur chase price of flOO.000 with the better- nieuta made to the track since tne road iiuuhhI Into the hands of the new com pany added. The latter added to the purchase price make the rull valuation of the road, at 100 cents on the dollar, f 260,0(0, and this valuation divided among the four counties through which the road passee will probably be theaiuouutof the road's assessment. This w as the way lu which the prop erty was assessed last year. Dont Know Him.

Today's Albany Herald: "A challenge liiw been Issued by company O, First regi ment, O N O, for a rlllo contest for the "governor's medal," which In held by KorgeautK H Urunihy, of company C, Second regiment, or Eugene. The challenge will be accepted and a con test arranged as soon as the Issue of ammunition for this year Is received. Under the considerations o! the pre sentation of the medal the holder is subject to challenge annually, and it does not become Individual property until won at three consecutive contents. Every officer and enlisted man lu the brigade Is entitled to enter each con test. Some arraugeuieuts will proba bly be made whereby each company will be allowed to shoot on Its own range, and considerable friendly strife will probably bo engaged. There lire several crack shots lu FCo., of All.any, who are anxious to get a whack at the medal." Advkk to 1'ickkhh. The Salem Journal gives the following ndvlco to hop pickers; "Wages In the hop yard will uot be high, The price per box will not be over 30 centi the tame ns lost year. There Is uot euough employ meiit to give people who have need for work Jobs lu oilier dlrcetions. The higher price for hops may here and there Induce some growers to ay more lu order to save their crop, but even at present prices and Ihe cost of saving the hops from I ce, there is not much margin fir the grower.'. We advise people with families to get Into good yards as early as possible and take the price ottered for picking." H cm iMi rey Orchard.
