It is a matter of publlo notoriety that Jamea Wlthycombe. di rector of the station and professor of Lagrlcultur In the college; several months since, did announce nimseii as a candidate for an Important political office, and has continually- -and aya teraatically worked to advance hla po litical interests, to the neglect - and great detriment of the college farm, the claasee in' agriculture aad investiga tions or the experiment station, ana "Whereas. Such action and neglect on the Dart-of Jamea Wlthycombe i entirely .incompatible with . the duties pertaining to hla position in the college" and station; la subversive of the educa tional interests and welfare of the in stitution, hence a violation of tha moral obligations due the board of regents anl the state ot Oregon; therefore, be it ' " - ' . - - ' "Resolved. That said Jamea Wlthy combe 4a hereby given the alternative of withdrawing hla candidacy for a political offlca or resigning the position he hotws in the college and station." . Baa tea am Boll Call. -The effect of Its introduction waa similar to that of dropping a bombshell into a aleeping camp. . A lively discus sion .followed, and when tha resolution was brought to a vote it was supported by Regent Weatherford. Keady, Pierce and Daly, and opposed by Regents Ack erman. Dunbar, OlweU, Appereon. Ir vine, Yates and Leedy. - Regents Dunbar and Ackerman are members ex-offlcto, by virtu of being state officers. Mr. Ackerman. state superintendent of pub llo instruction, stated that he could not consistently support the resolution, as long as'' ha was en office-holder and a candidate - for rennm!naUoiu Othet members. It is aaid, were personally dis posed to Indorse the resolution, but were not ready to vote for it until they bad given the matter further consideration. Of thoecho voted for the resolution, Keady and Daly are Republicans, , and Weatherford and Pierce are Democrute. Mr. Weatherford lehalrman of the board of regents. -Mr. Pierce 'is state senator from Umatilla county. - . It la said opposition to Dr. Wlthy combe springs from sources deeper than hla participation In politlca ; The charge wiU be mad that he is not a aoientlflo man, and that the experiment station would make better progress it tha men- under hla authority war di rected by a capable scientist. Dr. Wlthycombe was -appointed director of the etatloa five years ago, when the office Waa divorced from that of - the president. Prior to that time T. M.

Very soon after thia the fight for the Australian ballot began, and Buckley's powers waned. With him waa associated Bam Balney, tha bosa of the fir department, a great, fat, coarse-looking man, who was a philosopher,, ballot-box stutter, philan thropist, briber, Joving husband, em ployer of thugs, and . as -loyal a friend aa man oould have.

' WALLOWA VALLEY MUST ' ' HAVE TRAINS TO MARKET County of Splendid Reeources Witi Water Power of Vast Proportiona, Hat .Waited Long for Corporation to Keep Its Promise. "Mr Intention hav been Incorrectly stated in comspontlanc from Wal lowa county to Portland newspapers," aid J. W. Cook, who la in Portland on buainsss related to th construction of a railroad from Elgin to Enterprise and Joseph -by the Wallowa, valley Railroad Company, of Which h la th organiser. "I hav started la to build this road, and am going to build It, or a part of it. Should I be beaten In tha oourta by th lOreron Railway Navigation company TT rVT., I-. IBIllllMI.Hill .II .llll.l i ill on me ngni ox .way now in musauuii - and I do not believe I will "b I shall. (construct tha rest of th line through th Wallowa valley to Joseph." -- Mr.' Cook aay tha people of th Wallowa valley hav a country of splen did resources, and great possibilities for development, and they . hav no transportation -facllltla v. aaid from wagons. Annually, they -haul 40 to 0t miles to the railroad at Elgin vast quantities of product. This year 1.80, 000 pound of wool was hauled over the mountain roads, requiring ix horses to a wagoa load. Thla season 40,000 sheep have been brought out; and aa many more are yet to come. Ther are 10. 000 ton of good hay that-, could b marketed by rail,: but the wagon haul make U eoet $! a tow, which I pro hibitive cost. Th II small mills In th Wallowa ' timber are- annually cutting 20.000,000 feet of fine yellow pine lum ber, which haa to be hauled on wagons through th mountalna Jo Elgin, where It I ahipped over th O. R. N. to polnta in Idaho, Utah and Wyoming. Tha people of th valley, Mr. Cook aay, are with him almost to a man ln developing .his railroad plan, and have waited long and patiently for -the O. R. at N. company to do something, and It haa done nothing. Five year ago It mad a preliminary survey, and un der this pretext assumed that it had possession of a right of way along the Grand Ronde and Wallowa rivers to Joseph. It has done nothing further, while th - people hav continued to drag their loads of rich products by means of four and six-horse team over th weary mountain roads to b deliv ered to th O. R. dt.N-.at Elgin. Long ago th country .was developed sufficiently to warrant ' th construc tion' of. th railroad line to Joseph. When th company mad Ita survey five years ago ther waa every reaaon for It to proceed with construction Imme diately and give the people the needed mean of transportation. Mr, Cook as serts that the oeoole believe the O. R. N.'wlll build only a few mlle-Ano further than it I forced. - It ha long been' known that there 1 vast water power In th Wallowa and Orand Rond river, and th opportuni ties for electric road in. that oountry r of the best. Eastern capital la al ready interested in the lumber and transportation question, there, and It Is a mattsr of only a short tlm when. the rich Wallowa valley will be developed br mean af electric railroad transpor tation, which in all probability will be extended to a connection with th Co lumbia river, giving that part of th stat Independent communication' with Portland and the sea, and securing for it distributive rates baaed on . water competition.

On hour wa allowed for this feat, and he accomplished it In three quarters. This extraordinary exhibition was enhanced by the remarkable agility of the cava lier, who, In the course of his arduous undsrtaking, dismounted one and scratched hi ear with the foot on which he wore only a shoe. Th occaaton waa evidently made th. pretext for a. aoolal function,' for, affording to tha fash ionable Intelligence of th day,- it ap pear that an elegant cold collation was afterward -given by-Lord - and - Lady Charlemojit. to tha fashionable present Of mere matches against time the old chroniclea contain hundreds of records, none of which, however, is particularly Interesting.
