A great many college boys and other youths who have a lot of time and very little money on their hand? during the summer plan to get a hue vacation trip with little cost. One of the most popular trips Is, of course, to Europe, and, as very few of them are able to stand the first or second cabin tariff and sort of light shy of the steerage, their Imaginations turn naturally toward the much talked of voyage as cat tlemen. Without knowing very much about cattle or the sea or hard work young men often jump at the opportunity to get to the old world in this way. About this trip they know just this much: First, that it costs $5 to set the job; second, that the cat tlemen must care for the cattle all f.,o b-v over tor no pay, and, third, that the passage back Is free. That Iooks good, but that's only the bare outline. The experiences of a young collegian who took this trip one sum mer may be of value to those who may contemplate the voyage and of Interest to the public generally. When he got the idea that he wanted to go to Europe, he had $20 in his pocket. Five of this he paid to a steamship agency in an office on South street where he. signed a con tract as a cattleman. A few hours liefbre the sailing he reported on board to the foreman and was as signed to a smelly, greasy bunk In the forecastle. Then the foreman, -who was well liquored up and re mained so all the way over, ex amined his papers, which contained a minute description of his person. The foreman said they were all right. The men of the cattle crew were entirely separated from the regular crew of the vessel and seldom came in contact with them during the voy age. Besides the foreman there were two paid men, who also indulged in liquor all the time and never work ed, and four college boys on an out ing. The youths got together as soon as they were on board and dis cussed the possibilities of their job. Going down the Delaware there was nothing doing. The cattle, 210 head of them, were quiet, and thlng3 look ed rosy to the boys. They got their first jar when they wore called to dinner. This meal was taken in the forecastle. It consisted of "salt horse," "skouse," "punk," "oleo" and "chicory." Translated, the meal consisted of meat, potatoes, bread, butter and coffee. Some of the boys had been camping and thought they could cat anything, but they balked at the quality of the food and the careless cooking. Then came a row. The foreman and the two paid men asked them if they thought they were going first cabin and threatened to throw them over board if they did not eat. So they ate. That night they retired early and were pulled out at 4 a. m. by the tho hold with n block and fall. Eighteen bales of 125 pounds each were hoisted in this manner as well as ten bales weighing from 250 to 325 pounds and eighteen bags of corn of 125 pounds each. Two of the youths hooked the bales in the hole, while the other two pulled. It did not take long for the tender skin on their hands to become raw and inflamed, and the hauling became a positive torture. When all the hay and corn had been pulled up tho corn was fed to tho cattle, and then it was time for dinner. This was eaten hurriedly, so that the men could get back to work. Tho hay was split in the nar row aisles in front of the cattle, and after several hours of hard work at shaking it up the poor beasts were fed. Then the men were fed with far worse food in comparison than that given tho cattle. By this time they were tired enough to go to bed. Most of them revolted at the stuffy bunks and slept on tho hard deck. This was the regular programme for each day. On the second day out a little relief came when a poor, starved stowaway was dug out of the hold and set to work. He could not work much, for he was sick most of the time, but he helped a little. So tho work went on, and the blis tered hands did not have a chance to heal. Before they were halfway over every college boy was praying for land. There was practically ment on board.

R. HERRON, Prop. Front Street, : : Marshfleld, Ore; Stfil Tt Wareh led ill I inAr T VMI NEW night watch and told to go to work The foreman and his two paid men stood around giving orders, while tho boys tolletl like galley slaves. First they watered the cattle. Each head of the 210 had to be given fivo buck ets of water, which had to bo car ried from the outlet tubs at the end of tho cattle deck. The boys soon began to sweat under this unaccus tomed work and threw off all their clothing except their trousers, in which costumo they worked all the way over. It took two and one-half hours to watfr the cattle, and then breakfast was served, the same kind of stuff that had been given the evening before. By this time the boys wore so huugiy that the could eat almost anything. At 10 o'clock the heaviest work started. The hay which was fed to the cattle had to be pulled up from bit of decent food. There WrWbeer also, but it cost 10 cents a small glas3 and was very flat. They had to take turns standing the night watch and then work just as hard the next day. Three of the cattle died on the way over and had to be dumped overboard. In spite of their hardships the college bos were told that it was an exceptionally easy voyage, as no rough weather had overtaken the ship. On a stormy trip a constant watch must be kept over the cattle, as their ropes are frequently broken, and a regular stampede follows. Once In Europe the college cattle man imagines that his troubles are over. If he has any money he can live there cheaply, but if he has none his life Is much worse than the American bum's. One particular young man who was out of funds was lucky enough to borrow $20 from a cabin passenger, on which he lived In Antwerp for three weeks. Then he had trouble in arranging his passage home. Having landed the cattle, tho steamship company cares very little for its contract to convey the cattlemen back to America. Af ter much argument and waiting the college boy at length succeeded in getting passage on a freighter -to Boston. The voyage home was lazy and tiresome. The food was the same as he had on the way over, with an oc casional festival of plum duff. There was no work to do, so It was much better than on the voyage eastward. He did not enjoy It, however, for the sea without proper companionship is the most tiresome place Imaginable, lie was the only returning cattleman on board, and the sailors were an ignorant lot and too busy tnt talk with him. On landing in Boston ho had to wire to Philadelphia for money to return homo and was glad enough to get here. He is proud of his experience, but declares that It Is certainly not worth the price.

Aftor a session of uncertainty Dan Kelly seems to have shifted himself around for the Jamestown trip, the climax of this uthltelc career, when will bo detonnlned lor the benefit of Doubting Thomases whether or not tho Halter City boy Is really tho world's champion at his favorite dis tance, loo yards. According to latest report Kelly will run under the colors of his uni versity on funds bubscribed by busi ness men of Eugene and othors con nected with tho state Institution. By accepting tho offer of the Eugono people Kolly has practically given tho Multnomah Club the go by and thereat they aro putting up some thing of a remonstrance. Atter ina turo deliberation as to whether or not Kelly had thrown tho club down nt Seattle, so reports have It, direc tors of tho wingod M. decided that it would bo politic to send the Hukor runner to Jamobtown on their lands and clad In their Jersey. - Kelly had a card of his own to play however, ami as a result, he has de clined the club's otter. Hill I lay ward will accompany Kelly and has been' with hlin during his training for some time past. la tweaking of the turn affairs hae tnKen a spoit writer iu the Journal sa8: ' Dan Kelly will not run at James town under the colors of the Mul tnomah Hub. A letter carrying this IrittJi tii'itlun wus received tqduy by Piviidi nt MiMlllau of the ululi, the bi'udt'r helng the prosldeut of the University of Oifgon. The merohauts ol Eugene have raised a fuud.wlth which to send Kelly nud Trainer Hay ward to the bit; affair, and though the board of directors had already voted to give Kelly tho luoiwy, the champion sprinter decid ed to accept tho offer of tho Eugono merchants nud to run under tho colors of tho University of Oregon. "Tho cholco of tho collegian will fc'lvo Bomo disappointment to the Mul tnomah directors, as tho club has done much for Kelly. For faome time there has been somo feeling among club members against the athlete bo cause he ignored a miter sent him sovoral months ago by Georgo Si mons, then president of the club, commending his work at Spokane last ear and asking him if ho would run under the colors of the club at Jamestown. Kelly never answered the letter. A fovv weeks ago, how ever, ho wrote to II., W. Kerrigan In timating that ho wfould bo glad to accept tho offer. The directors went ahead and appropriated the money to bond him but lustoad of accepting it, he has taken tho opportunity offerod by tho citizens of Eugene to repre sent Ills university." There is much speculation throughout thb country as to Kelly's c bailees ugaliiiBt tho pick of tho land In the Bprlntrnml tho following clip ped from vo Spoknno Chronicle is but one of "the many Individual writers comments: Dan Kelly- will meet Charlie Par bous of Los Angeles at Jainestqwn in the 100 and 200 yard dashes and settled the mooted Question a to the superiority of the two runners.
