PaciHo University, Forest Grove, Or.,
Doe. 20. Tha question of abolishing
Tualatin academy, which Is - now con
ducted In connection with Pacific uni
versity aa a preparatory department of
the opllege, la under, strong considera
tion by the authorities of the school.
Tualatin academy holds the honor of
being the oldest educational institution
U the Pacific northwest, being founded
by pioneer missionaries in the summer
of 184J on a donation land claim, where
now the city of Forest Gtot Is situated.
A charter waa granted to Its authorities
at Oregon City, where the state capital
was located, in the fall of 1841, by the
. tate legislature, "estaBllshlng a school
of learning, ' on 'the Tualatin plains, of
academlo scope, with collegiate powers."
This was the nucleus out of which
Pacific university waa developed In
1854. ';
When this , academy was tabllshed
there were no such Institutions for
many hundred miles around, and even
ifter the college was formed there were
no high schools or academies where a
student could prepare for the higher
courses In . the various colleges which
sprang up, except those colleges which
had their own academic departments. ,
Besides the fact that there are now an
abundance of preparatory schools, scat
tered throughout the atate, which offer
good courses. It Is thought that regular
college work can be better accomplished
without the hampering Influence of the
academy classes. At present most of
the Instructors In the college are com
pelled to teach several academy sub
jects, and to have preparatory students
' In their college olasses, more especially
In those of the freshman and sophomore
years, and this Is considered to be the
thief objection of retaining the prepara
tory courses. ' ,
Tualatin academy has always had a
large attendance, and this eradication
will lessen considerably the enrollment,
momentarily, but the loss thus incurred
would very soon be made good by larger
colloge classes.
If this proposed change is made. It
is probable that the academy classes
, will be discontinued one at a tbna, be
ginning with the lowest, thus not affect
ing any who are now In school; the re
quirements for admission to the acad
emy would be raised by one year, and
la four years the entire course would
be abolished. -.
The University of Oregon is ths only
collegiate Institution in the state which
lias done away with Its preparatory de
rartment, and Pacific proposes to follow
ite example, thus raising Its own stand
ing among. th colleges of the country.

DISTRESSING AGCiDEffT
Astoria, Doe. 20. The French- bark
Bayard arrived Sunday evening at As
toria, 2J5 days from Glasgow, with a
general cargo, after narrowly escaping
being wrecked while on the , Atlantic
The Bayard, which is under the com
mand of Captain Bernard, sailed from
Glasgow April 7, She encountered fair
weather until June 11, when In latitude
41 south and longitude 83 west she ran
Into a terrific gale and her rudder was
carried , away. The vessel was then
practically helpless and completely at
the mercy of wind and wave. Several
attempts were made to rig a Jury rud
der, but each tune. the attempts failed,
the lines being .snapped like thread. A
few days later 'a Swedish steamer put
a hawser aboard' and suited to tow
the disabled craft to port, but, after go
ing a. Short distance the hawser parted
and the bark was lef to her fate. It
was then a fight to keep the vessel .from
being swamped, but the weather condi
tions .Improved, fortunately, although
there "'were intermittent galea and at
times the bark was swept fore and aft
by the huge seas. . After being thus bat
tered about for a month, she was picked
up on July 4 In latitude 14 south by
two tugs, about 160 miles off shore, hav
ing dlfted a distance of 17 degrees, and
towed Into Montevideo. -The Jugs be
longed to a salvage company and al
though -Captain Bernard ,1s somewhat
reticent about the amounts they charged
him. It is understood that the tow cost
in the neighborhood of $10,000 and that
it cost him about 1 3400 for a new rud
der. . After undergoing the necessary
repairs, the Bayard sailed from Monte
video on September 2, the rest of her
trip to the Columbia rtver being without
special Incident.

County Court Rules Against
Roadhouse on Linnton
Road.
A county liquor license for Cliff Inn,
a roadhouse on ., the Linnton road, was
yesterday afternoon denied by the .coun
ty court. In doing so the court held
that an Insufficient number of legal
voters had signed the petition for the
license. The question of what consti
tutes a legal voter created much argu
ment. It was finally "held that legal
voters must be,' registered before ' they
can sign a petition for or against the
license. , . ' '
- County Judge Cleeton further ruled
that where a' petition and remonstrance
are filed la regard to a liquor lleens
the voters of that precinct are actually
voting "wet" or "dry." Those signing
the petition are voting "wet," and those
signing the remonstrance . are voting
"dry." It was further ruled by the
court that after a petition and remon
strance, are filed names cannot be added
or taken away.
In. the Cliff Inn ease an original pe
tition of 83 names of voters was filed
favoring the license. ;; The remonstrance
had 10S names, i The petitioners later
filed a list of 25 names of persons who
made affidavit that they were legal
voters. The court held that since many
of these names did not appear on the
registration books the signers were , not
legal voters. Since the court ruled that
names could not be added or taken from
the original filings this list could not
be considered. In other words, the peti
tion and remonstrance were methods' of
voting. When these were filed the polls
were closed. Signers of each must have
all the qualifications of legal voters. .
Attorney B. K. Haney, representing
Sandy & Rath, proprietors of the road
house, set forth that the affidavits of
late signers were the same as having
the voter sworn In, and the names
should be counted. The court left the
matter in such manner that an appeal
can be taken to the state circuit court

COOS BAY CITIES TO
WORK FOR CARLINE
: :, (Special Dbpntt to The JoarnaU
Marshfield, Or, Deo. 20. The grant
ing of street, railway franchises In the
Coos ' Bay cities is a matter which is
now attracting much attention on the
part of the people and some decisive
steps are being taken. Over a year ago
a franchise was granted to J. M. Blake
for building and maintaining an electric
railway In Marshfield. Work was to be
started at a certain time and six months
ago Mr. Blake appeared before the coun
cil and asked that "he be given more
time. He waa under the. new arrange
ment, to have k mile of road built by
the first of January and recently he
again asked for an extension of six
months Jn which to begin vork and it
waa granted by the council.
At the recent city election In North
Bend Mr, Blake asked for a franchise
and , it was voted upon by the people.
The franchise was , turned down by a
vote of twenty to one. ' Now that the
franchise has been refused Mr. Blake
in North Bend there has been a move
ment started to have the Marshfield
people vote on the matter of recalling
the extension in this city. If this were
done, the franchise In both Marshfield
and North Bend; would be left open for
any good road that wanted to build.
Mayor I J. Simpson of North Bend
haa suggested that both cities grant like
franchises for a railway and put these
franchises In the lands of trustees who
are to turn them over to the first rail
road , that will build to Coos Bay, It
is suggested that this would leave the
franchises open and ready for any road
that .wants to come here. . This plan Is
being agitated and it is likely some such
step will be taken.

Whtn the "WeeUjr" which sued us for libel (hecause we pub
licly denounced them .for an editorial attack on our claims) was
j searching for some "weak spot," they thought best to send a New
York Attorney to Battie Creek summoned 25 of our workmen and
took their sworn statements before a Commissioner.
, Did we object? No. On the contrary, we helped all we coulcf,

barley to see they were up to standard, and rejected many cars. " ;
- H. E. Buri, Superintendent, testified has been with company over
13 years. Bought only the, best grain obtainable. That the com-"
pany kept a corps of men' who do nothing but keep things clean,

Testified that no ingredient went into , Grape-Nuts and Postum
except those printed in the advertising. No possibility of any foreign

Asked if the factory is open to the public, said "yes" and "it took
from two to three guides constantly to show visitors through the
- works.' Said none of the processes were carried on behind closed
doors. ' , ,
At this point attorneys for the "Weekly" tried to show the water
-used-was from some, outside source. Testified the- water came from
the company's own artesian wells and was pure.
He testified the workmen were first class, high grade and in-.
spected by the company's physician to be sure they were all in proper
physical condition; also testified that state reports showed that com
pany pays better wages than the average and he thought higher than
any in the state. - -

F. B. Martin, assistant superintendent, testified Grape-Nuts made

So these men were examined by, the "Weekly' lawyers hoping tc

Most of them have been from 10 to 15 years with the company and
