Sixty clerks for thirty senators really
seems like a good many, especially in

expect to do anything.
The weather today Is just immense.
Bright sunshine a mho, breath of apring,

ance." The lecture last night on the subject
of Forestry was quite well attended.
Mr. Jones proved a verv pleasant talker.
and handled the subject well. He cave
quite a full history of the order, from
the time of Robin Hood, illustrating his
lecture with some very handsome stere
opticon views. The inclement weather,
no doubt, kept many away, but those
who attended were well renaid for rlofr.
: il .
Mrs. Clara Hoffman is one of the most
talented women before the public. Her
addresses are logical, scholarly and con
vincing. Her subject is one of vital im
portance to the whole world ; in fact, in
our humble opinion, at least, the great
est question the world has to answer.
Those who hear her will be given some
thing to think about, and will, perhaps,
take a different view of the matter from
what they have ever had before.

the
Liilie Devereux Blake, a very strong
woman's rights woman, baB done consid
erable writing in defense of the "Wo
man's" Bible. She says, among other
things, that the story of the creation
was "manipulated by some Jew in order
to give heavenly authority for requiring
the woman to obey the man she mar
ried." And then to show that the
female sex in all creation was just as
good, if not better, than the male, with
a devotion to her cause much stronger
than her judgment, she writes page
after page to prove that "the chief
point of- interest in the parable of Ba
laam and the ass is that the ass belonged
to the female sex." Of course it did.
How else would it ever have recognized
the angel? The average male manor
ass wouldn't recognize one without an
introduction. And, besides, the fact
that the ass couldn't refrain from talk
ing back to her master, was conclusive
evidence of sex.
Miss Devereux Blake should dissert on
something not so perspicuously self-evident.

The Hood Klver Flume.
Mr. Frank Davenport, who has been
in tne city since yesteraay noon, re
turned to Hood River today. He has
the contract for building the big flume
for the irrigating company on the west
side, and has about completed the first
mile, at a cost of $6,000. The worst and.
most expensive part of the work is done,
including a bridge across Hood river.
About three miles of flume remain to
be constructed, and one mile of ditch,
and he expects to have water running
through it by the 1st of May. The
flume will furnish plenty of water for
10,000 acres of land.

Louden Grover, of Sardis, Ky. "After
using quite a number of remedies with
out any benefit she tried one bottle of
Chamberlain's Fain Balm, and it has
given entire relief." Chamberlain's
Pain Balm is also a certain cure for rheu

Butler, or Ashe, the Australian mur
derer, who is in jail at San Francisco,
vims been equipped with a ward
robe and now presents a very different
appearance in new clothes of city cut
from the figure ho presented in sailor
garb. He is getting polite to everybody
and refuses ninny presents offered to him
by scores of visitors and come to look at
him through the prison bars.
The authorities believe if everything
movee smoothly Butler cati be started on
his Australian trip in charge of the
police within two weeks. Butler saya
he will not tight for a delay. He says
lie is getting his evidence together slowly
and that when he reaches Australia he
will place in the hands of his attorneys
sufficient proof of his innocence.
The Australian detectives say Butler
is already weakening, and that he would
not bave refused to go to Australia today
on the Mbnowai were it not that his at
torneys here urged him to show fight.
The Australian detectives say Butler's
attorneys here are working for Butler
gratuitously, expecting to be rewarded
by the notoriety they will obtain. The
longer the case is before the San Fran
eigw courts the more notoriety they will
achieve.
As evidence that Butler is weakening
under the strain, the Australian detec
tives cite the fact that to Detective Con
roy Butler today said he would clear up
Weller's death and name the real mur
derers if the police in Austria would al
low him to turn queen's evidence and
escape punishment. Hb intimated to
Conroy that two other men were con
cerned in Weller's murder and that he
himself was not directly connected with
the murder.
Butler says these tw,o mysterious mur
dirers, whose identity he does not dis
close, forced him to take Weller's be
lonings found here in his possession.
This statement differs from Butler's for
mer statement that Weller was killed by
the accidental discharge of a gun. The
Australian detectives consider Butler's
statements tantamount to a confession.
Free Coarse of Study by Correspondence.
To meet the needs of large numbers
of peode, both old and young, who live
in remote sections of the country or in
places where the schools, are not ad
vanced, the university of Oregon has
made arrangements to conduct a four
years' course of study by correspondence.
The plan is to make this course entirely
free except a small charge, which will
cover the actual expenses. This charge
will be in the form of a small sum for
each lesson sent out. It will not exceed
what is actually paid out for postage and
clerical work' in course. Students will
be expected to order their text books
either through local dealers or from the
Portland book stores. It is hoped (hat
large numbers of people will avail them
selves of this opportunity to do intel
lectual work under competent guidance.
It is also hoped to interest the press of
the state in the undertaking, so that It
may ' become very widely known. No
newspaper can be paid lor publisning
the announcement of the course, since it
is not a plan for making money, but it ia
hoped that a wide-spread public spirit
may be awakened and that the press
will lend its powerful assistance toward
the Buccess of the work. The course
will be divided into five. departments of
study : English literature, Latin, his
tory and civics, mathematics, science.
Four years of work have been planned
in each of these departments. Any
person may take up one or all of the de
partments, as he chooses.
The course will be conducted as fol
lows : Any person who wishes to take
one or more of the studies way send in
his name to the University of Oregon,
Eugene, Or. The words "Extension
Department" should be written on the
envelope. He should also state clearly
what lines of study he wishes to take
up. Directions will be sent to him at
once for procuring text books and in
structions concerning the details of the
course.
Questions will be mailed to students
covering definite portions of the text
books from time to time as they are
needed, These should be carefully
answered and the answers mailed to the
Extension Department of the university.
They will be corrected and returned,
together with a new set of questions.
This is in brief the scheme of the course,
The university has been carrying on
this work in a limited way for two years,
but it is now hoped to make it much
more extensive and more generally use
ful to the people of the state, The ex
perience of the past, however, places the
extension department in a position to
manage the practical details of the
course accurately and promptly. The
only charge which will be made will be
for the lists of questions and for marking
the answers which are sent in.N It is
thought that this can be reduced to 10
cents for each set of questions and 10
cents for examining each set of answers.
This small fee will probably cover the
actual expenses of the course, and
nothing further is desired by the de
partment. It is to be noted that this course is
open to nil persons who desire to engage
in study. It will cover the ground of
the usual good high school cotusc, and
the questions aud suggestions which will
be sent out may often be used with pro
fit in reviews and examinations in city
high schools. No person should feel
that a course of this kind is n complete
substitute for a good school, but if the
school is not available for any reason
then much advancement in sound learn
ing may do maao oy taking a corres
pondence course.
Full outlines of the cotirso will be sent
free upon application.

Is, unquestionably, the most success

yet invented.
It is a unsversal testimony that more,

with any other pump on the market.
With this pump one man can charge
the receptable and leave it to direct the
spray just where it is wanted, and thus
with sufficient bose pasBfrom tree to
