cessltate the forming and admission of
another club, and Mr. Sroat Is in pos
session oi an application from the ml
norlty stockholders of the Brown peo
ple in Portland for admission Into the
league,, thus making it six clubs for the
coming season. When the league was
organized it was decided to make Albany
the center and the place of meeting for
the board of directors of the league in
case the- membership should consist of
four clubs, and Salem if six clubs were
substituted, and therefore Salem will be
the headquarters of the league .whether
it consists of four or six clubs. Here

games and the C. A. A. C. Dark, where
the baseball games 'are played, is the
best appointed diamond and the best

pulled off Friday-TiightlTr-VeTf s halt
before a very large audience. Consld
ering the fact that it was a student
affair all the people of the town lent a
hand and made It a rousing success
Eighteen "swell coons"' made up the
circle, and discoursed music that would
have made glad the heart of the negro.
It Is the second attempt of the stu
dents In "putting on" a negro minstrel
show and it is needless ta say that its
feuccess will warrant another one next
year. This is one of the regular series
of entertainments that are to be given
each year by the students to help 'meet
the expenses Incurred by athletics. Mr.
Thompson, as Interlocutor, was a great
success, while Gilbert, Wlrly, Bates and
Gates did the funny stunts on the ends,
The audience was repeatedly convulsed
with laughter at these funny end men,
H. E. Wilson and Mr. Williams gave an
exhibition of Illuminated club swinging
that was very much enjoyed. Gilbert
and Brown gave a specialty on the hori
zontal bar that was exceedingly clever.
Messrs. Belknap and C. K. Fletcher each
sang a aong that was very much ap
preciated. The Alpha Zela quartet sang
"I'a Been Working on the Levee." and
the regular college quartet, consisting of
Professors Bradley, Fletcher, Bates and
Marsh, met with Us usual good success
and was encored repeatedly.

"The only rational way to solve the
irrigation problem Is to grant a per
petual water right with the land," said
J. A. Wilson, manager of the Hood River
Apple Growers' union, who is in Port
land today. Friction has existed be
tween the consumers and the Valley Im
provement company, owners of the irri
gation ditch, for several months, but Mr
Wilson expresses it as his opinion that
the ditch will soon pass into the hands
of the land owners and the troubles will
be ended.
"For perpetual water rights Of a
miner's inch to an acre about 16,000
gallons will cost ihe land owners about
$60 an acre. At present it qosts them
$5 an acre for the season. With perpet
ual rights the water is transferrel with
the property and the owner pays a nomi
nal sum each year for maintenance.
; '"The -company wants J46.000 for the
ditch and 1 believe it will be purchased
by the farmers before the present sea
son Is ended.
"About 1.000 acres Is now under the
ditch; but there Is twice as much vacant
land being cleared, and If we had 1,000
Inches more of water it would all be
used." ,.

they had the stated interview with the
prosecuting attorney resulting in noth

given by the prosecutor that he would
