TESTIMONIAL FOR CLARK. Who Will Start the Work of Raising Funds in Pendleton? Surely the people of Oregon are not lacking in patriotic spirit Other states -have given evidence of the ap preciation with which they regard the achievements of their favorite sons In the Spanish war, and lest we forget, it is time that recognition is shown Admiral Charles E. Clark, who outdid them all in the way lie sailed the battleship Oregon and as a cul mlnatlon, gained the lion's share of a glorious victory by bringing out her splendid fighting qualities at memorable Santiago. A committee, composed of well- known business men was appointed by Mayor Williams, of Portland, a few days ago, to solicit funds to pre sent Admiral Clark with a testimoni al on behalf of the citizens of Ore gon, and everyone In the state is ask ed to contribute. Remittances can be made to William M. Ladd, treasur er Clark testimonial, Portland. We may admire many useful things without wishing to test them.

The Star, today, commenting on the hobnobbing of Morgan and Carnegie with the .Euro pean crowned heads, says: "They all run after Morgan without distinction as to age, prestige, dignity or any thing else. It Is only 'a belated rec ognition of a long known fact that the real kings of today are not on the thrones. The Morgan and Carne gie "furore is most interesting as showing that the social conscience, at lost recognizes the real kings. All hail King Morgan," is the cry of the sapheads." Fair at Yankton Opens. Yankton, S. D., Sept 8. The great quantities of wheat and other grains the South Dakota farmer is raising this year are illustrated as the strik ing feature of the state fair, which opened for a week In this city today, The display of cereals is the largest ever made in this part of the country, The exhibits of live stock, agricultur al machinery, horticultural products and women's work are also well up to the standard and from all lndlca: tions the fair will be the banner ex hibition of the year in the Northwest College Slang. President Thwing of the Western Reserve University present an inter esting array of college slang In an article in the Christian Endeavor World. Different colleges, he says, have different words and phrases, and few words and phrases are common to many. Such are "swipe," "soak,1 "spike," "Josh," "hen-medic," "goose egg," "grlng," "crib," and many other words that are used only at a few col leges. A student, for instance. In on? college may "bat" (make a perfect recitation) and Bit in a "bear box" (the faculty pew In chapel). On going from the church he may become a "belt chaser," walking with a "co-ed" and going to his dinner he has a "ber ry" (a good thing). In the afternoon he prepares himself for "blb"( that Is, for recitation of the Bible). It Is pos sible that his "belt chaser" walks with a "bird" (a girl) to the "bird cage" (a dormitory for women stu dents). It is also possible that the " bird" may be a "birdie" (one who Is eager to make acquaintance with men without an introduction). He may, prefer to call his walk a "pike" and also he may prefer to walk with a "plugger" rather than with a "bird" and while walking to talk about po leck" (political economy) or "polst" (political science). A student may be a "moke" (an easy going fellow) and In that case he Is apt to be "porky" (very poor) in his work, and consequently gets a "zip" (a zero In marks), and Is In danger of being rusticated (suspended). Of course, he must become a "repeater (one reaulred to repeat a year's work) If he hones ever to get bis "rag" (dl ploma). If the man is an "elle" (a good student), he will probably get the reputation of being a "whale" (a pkenominal student), In case he "bones" (studies) hard and "poles" (prepares a lesson by hard study). b.

Traveling livestock agents who make Salt Lake their headquarters, renort that never before In the his tory of Utah and Idaho have there been such shortages In livestock cars as at present prevail.

At the conclusion of the secret ses sion .the president addressed a pub lie meeting. He highly eulogized the railroad men, and said: "I want to go on record as emphatically believing in organized labor. Organization is the law of social and economic pro gress at this time and its worth de- pends on the skill with which self- restraint Is practiced and which your organization has shown. You work hard. I pity the creature who does'nt, If a man conscientiously does his work, no matter in what line or how humble it is, he is a good American citizen." President Honors Labor.
