"Withdrawn RenlruiUou Should

Albany Herald.
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withdrawn resignation should be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.

THE ORAIS IUU UOBBKKY.
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.

Militia ItirXK Contkst. 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."

The packing establishments are very

The Earl Company hove already
loaded eleven ears and shipped them
aud will load three more tomorrow,

they will ship from this polut .10 car
loud of Hullan prunes, ulrcudy en
gaged, ten cur loads from C'reawell aud
twelve from the Humphrey orchard at
Irvinir aud probably two or three from
Junctiou City, making a total of 75
cor loads of this one kind of fruit, be
sides the 20 car loads of plums, silver
prunes, etc. Mr Lodd, of I'ulifornla,
on expert, is superintending the puck
lug. The Jellrles' Company have alrcudy
shipped four car loads ami expect to
ship at leant twenty cars mote.
The total iiuml er would then be 110

This U only a portion of our fruit as
the dryers will have at least a month's
run and piobubly handle as much a
will be shipped green.
Kix or neven years ogo, a person
would have been adjudged mentally
unsound to huve predicted the possi

be remembered that most of the or-
