D. S. Allison is the latest fugitive
from justice that left Oregon and has
come to grief in Kansas says the Mer
cury. Some months ago Allison put in
an appearance at The Dalles. - He
claimed to represent some kind ol an
agricultural implement bouse, but after
ward went to work for the county sur
veyor, Becoming acquainted with the
Sharp brothers, who live near The
Dalits, he worked himself into their
good graces and was trusted by them to
dispose of 867 bushels of wheat. ' -
He ' did it, and pocketing the proceeds
went east without giving any one an
intention of his purpose. The Sharp
brothers informed Sheriff Ward and at
last the man was located in Oklohoma
two weeks ago. A warrant was issued
and the necessary papers secured for his
return to Oregon, but before the officers
started east the discouraging news came
that the Oklohama's officials had lost
their man. A few days later ' Allison
was again located. This time in Witch
ita, Kansas, and there he is now, safe in
jail, awaiting the arrival of Deputy
Sheriff Phirman, who started after him
on Thursday. Allison has a wife and
children living at Blue Rapids, Kaneas
and had been in Oregon but a short
time before leaving the state so ab
ruptly. The charge against him is lar
ceny by bailee and a Wasco county jury
will in time vividly impress upon his
mind, a realistic picture of Oregon jus
tice. -

Professor Frazer gave a sociable at
Dufur Saturday night which was a grand
success. The Dufur revival meeting
has closed. . -
Wo noticed' in a late issue of The
Chronicle, a special from Corvallis,
written from the Oregon Agricultural
college and signed "Bunchgrass." He
starts out complaining of the fog hang
ing over the little town and the scarcity
of work in the little log ridden burg.
One might suppose he was a laboring
man lookicg for a job; but as we follow
him down to the agricultural college we
find he aims at something higher than
days labor. We put him down as one of
those great big agricultural. Professors
that we had the pleasure of seeing a few
weeks ago holding a Farmer's Institute
at Dufur. Yes, "Bunchgrass," we hap
pened to be there; and found to our
disappointment they could not tell
whether beans grew on sage brush or on
acactu. He goes on to tell us that the
citizens of our fair state don't have to
bear but a small proportion of the ex
penses of this great institution, but that
Uncle Sam, with his usual lavish band,
as given of tbe people's domain 90,000
acres of the people's laud, to be trans
f erred to actual settlers; or land grab
bers for cash, to be used in- this, as he
calls it "a great institution,"
The people at large never suffered any
thin f at the hands of Uncle Sam's giv
ing subsidies of land to corporations and
institutions that always has been and
always will be a burden to the people.
If Uncle Sam was as good at finishing
tbe work he undertook twenty years ago
at the Cascades, it would be ten times
more to the people of .Oregon, than all
the agricultural- colleges on the coast.
Then, he says, the people around Cor
vallis went down into their pockets,
built and gave to the state a fine build
ing of brick. Well they might. So
would any little dead town in the state
do the same thing ; if, by so doing they
could build up a great institution that
intend to spend as much money as they
intend to do. And now your many
readers may see what this giving by the
people of Corvallis to the state amounts
to.: Tho state has since erected two
domitory boarding halls, also a two
story mechanical building of'brick, and
has commenced a station bnilding, and
not satisfied with that they atk tbe pres
ent legislature to finish the last nam
building, "and thus give' the chemist- a
chance to learn that Eastern Oregon is
capable of producing something more
than bunch erase and sage brush;" also
other buildings too numerous to mention.
It is a pity the state can't give money
enough .to finish a building for the great
chemist and transport soil from Eastern
Oregon so he can, tell the people whether
it will sprout beans or not. It has been
tried and proven, years ago, that we
have the best soil in Eastern Oregon for
cereals that there is in the state, also for
fruits and vegetables. If the state would
build a portage railroad at the dalles, it
would do more for Oregon than all the
agricultural colleges in America. It is
an insult to every farmer in Eastern
Oregon to have an agricultural college
Professor talk about analyzing the soils
of this fair land. . We would advise the
state to - look . well after our Insane
asylum, as we fear some of its inhabi
tants have -already - escaped. What
Eastern -Oregon wants, and it would
benefit the whole state, is a free open
river to the sea. We have a soil sec
ond to none for all kinds of produce that
the American people - consume. -' But
how can we expect the state to do any
thing when she. is already burdened with
institutions that are of no benefit to the
people? on what can the farmers expect
from an institution that is only good for
the favoured few? Talk about 27S
happy boys and girls idleing their "'time
away in such an institution ; better send
them home where their parents can give
them a better praetical knowledge of
farming than they will ever receive at
the Corvallis college. Seville.

Antelope Herald. The sale of Mr.
Thornton's sheep, which was advertised
to take place on the 30th nit., did not
materialize. Buyers from all over the
country were present and would have
paid a good round price for the sheep,
and one or two parties offered Thornton
$4 per head, cash, for his ewes, but he
refused to let them go. Sheriff Booth
came over from Prineville to forclose the
mortgage which Michsel T. Manning
held on the sheep, but the mortgageor
and mortgagee made a compromise be
fore the salebegan, whereby- Manning
agreed to pay off tbe mortgage by July
let, 1893. This, of course, squashed the
sale and there were several buyers sadly
disappointed. We were not present but
it is said that a few demijohns were
then introduced and the crowd filled up
on nshtin' liniment. At one. stage ot
the proceedings one could see coats,
vests, shirts and we -were going to say
pants flying in all directions, and for a
time it presented a scene similar to the
battle of Gettysburg, except that better
generalship was displayed in the latter.
Sheriff Booth soon appeared on the bat
tle field and by a vigorous charge with
his heavy artillery, carried the day.
Peace prevailed and it was found that
no one had even been hit, . w .
