ai Explanation.
Editor Guard: On account of the
editorial In the Guard yesterday
nestle "Cnarity or Business," many
Inquiries hav becimadeof me con
ceruiug the statemeuta and matters
alluded to by the Guard with re'er-
euce to the University. In answer to
all, I will state that the salary of
President Chapman is $3000.00 per
year, payable quarterly, as all ailarles
are. The president has received many
invitations from various schools and
towns of thes ate, to deliver lectures
and addresses, iu the lute rest of the
University, and hi actual traveling
expenses for such visits hava been au
dlted and allowed by the regents.
In regard to the president's residence,
the rooms iu the second story of Collier
Hall have been rented to him at $10
per mouth, which the regents thought
wai the bent disposition to be made of
them for the time being. In legard to
the library, ti e former room Is too
mall, and the removal lives more
rooms and a reading room besides,
which offers more conveniences. The
dangers were not thought increased.

It is 24x36 Inches iu sie and printed
on whito paper the columns of each

If auy voter out in Oregon thinks he

Kallroad Assessments.
Whether or not the mlleaae svstem
Is an equitable system as between the
counties, says the lloeeburg Plain
dealer, Is another question. For in-
sian?e, Douglas county has about 116
milea of roadbed, Lane about 40 and
wnnauout 30. At $5000 per mile
Douglas couaty taxes the railro .d at a
valuation of $580,000 exclusive of
Ing atock, while Laue would have but
f 'iOO.OOO and Linn $150,000; n.i t
either county contributes much more
to the revenues of the road than
Douglas. This is our good fortune and
their mlsfoitune; but the question
lees, is It equity?

John Bowers.
The following from the Linn Creek
(Mo) Democrat is the most concise ren
dering of the story about John Bowiri
yet presented to the millions who have
heard of the man who came "all the

native of Pike and went from there,
In thoje days loiters were few and far
between. Joe left a wife and two
children. After long years and ro let
ter, Mrs Bowers concluded Joe wai
dead, and married again. Finally Joe
returned home in company with King
Collett around the Horn. He arrived
at the old homestead when the man of
the house was absent. Two children
met him at the door, but when be
stepped Inside be saw a red-headed
baby lying In the cradle, and gave ut
