"An Admirer" Given the Ilukcr City
Herald a Florid Review ot Oregon
City's Sniootli and Gay Deceiver
Kays George C. la Misquoted by
ICiicmlcH.
"An Admirer" writes the following
florid -and Bclntlllutlng eulogy ot
George C. Itrownell, of Oregon City,
for the Bilker City Herald:
At the frills of the Willamette, that
lovely river softly calling to the seu
immortalized by Simpson, lives one of
the most unique, versatile, gentle mis
quoted men In all the state of Oregon.
We refer to George C. Brownell.
Oeorge C. Is a remarkable human in
everyrespect. Kicked, scorned, dyna
mited and shelled from the little pin
headed weeklies to the fierce fire of
the great Oregonlori's full dynamite
butteries, he Is still doing business at
the old stand.
All the crimes on the political cal
endar have been laid at his door.
All the batteries of hate and envy
have emptied their arsenals at George
C with no avail. He still does bus
iness. How is It? Has he the power
of Arbaces, the Egyptla nsorcerer, or
Is ho in lengue with the descendants
of the Witch of Endor?
Not at all, dear reador. George C.
studies human nature and applies his
'talents to the poor people. His purse
is their purse, their needs his special
ty. Moek and mild In manner, wise
as a serpent, harmless as a dove.
George C after he Is smitten,
comes nearer turning the other cheek
than any man in Oregon, He has
made more United States senators
than any man in the state and be It
truthfully said, he always stuck out
for the poor ones. Money is no ob
ject to George C, as he cannot keep
lit.
No appeal ever fell on deaf ears If
It came to him and he could assist It.
That Is the secret of his success; his
love for his fellow men. Clackamas
county has often honored George C.
with legislative honors, and he has
earned them.
No county has a more faithful serv
ant or one of more Influence. Time
and again different parties have
sought his Roulp but the common peo
ple rallied around him and returned
him to the senate and they will do It
again, and Justly so as he has served
them faithfully and well.
George ('., is as calm as an Egyp
tian Sphinx, versatile as a flea on an
Apache dog, as Invulnerable to his
enemies at Kanqun's ghost, faithful to
Ills friends as David was to Jonathan,
an ornament to Clackamas county
and the state of Oregon. Clackamas
will make no mistake in returning lilni
to the senate.

One bright day, Claud walked into
bank with a check that made four
figures look sick. He had been buy
ing Golconda before the strike at an
extremely low figure and saying noth
ing to his friends for fear of being
guyed. The strike was made and Gol
conda soured, and Claud sold. Hence
the check of four figures.
He drew his money the next day,
left for the east and nothing has been
heard of Claud since. Last evening
he strolled Into the Herald office and
presented his card, and It bore this
Inscription: ChiUd Hart, president
Merchants' and Farmers' bank, St.
Louis. "Yes," he replied to an Inter
rogation, "the old Golconda did It,
God bless her."

Many people living In linker City
and nearly every man woman or child
who lived and are living now In Sum
pier, remembers well the name of
Claud Hart, the statelllte financier
who strurk the upper camp about
throe years ago ond left Inside of 12
short months with a bank account
that made the localities look envious
ly In his direction, says the Baker City
Herald.
Claud wus In Baker City last night
and wended his way toward Portland
this morning, bearing with him the
remembrance of many a genial hand
clasp of old-time friends.
(Nuud was n dapper, well groomed,
and good looking young fellow who
struck Sumpter about three years
ago. He put up at the hotels and bc
ga nto look around. He was always
well dressed and hud but little to say
to strangers although quite congenial
to his friends, which, by the way, soon
grew Into the hundreds.
For a year he worked In the upper
camp, soaking his hard earnings In
mining stock down to the Inst nickel.
Some of his friends thought that he
was Just a little cracked, while the rest

SMOOT MAY RESIGN.
Sentiment Has Chungcd Within Past
Year.
A special from Washington says in
regard to the status of the Smoot
cuse In the senate:
If the senate had voted on the
Smoot case at any time during the
Fifty-eighth congress, there is little
doubt but that the Utah senator would
have been accorded a seat in the sen
ate by a good liberal vote, but as
time goes on the trend of sentiment
agulnst him continues to grow, until
now there appears to be prospect of
an almost unanimous report against
him by the committee on privileges
and elections, and such a report, fol
lowed up by a vigorous fight on the
part of Chairman Burrows and some
of the other prominent members of
that committee, of both political
faiths, makes the outlook today very
dark for the apostle-senator.
Senator Smoot Is personally accept
able to the senate: he has many warm
friends rn either side of the party
aisle, and there are a number of sen
ators who will vote for him because
hey do not believe In injecting the
church into politics. Senator Smoot
b not a polygamlst; he does not prac
tice polygamy, and therefore these
particular senators are not In lavor
of expelling him from the senate
merely because he is an officlul in a
church that has countenanced .rplural
marriages, notwitnstandlng th pro
testations of Its officials.
But there are many other w-nators
who will not stand by Smoot, oven
though they like him as a man.
Many senators who would have voted
to seat him in the last congress are
now ready to oust him.

The man who will manage the

the Associated Students of the college

Walla Walla Union. Arthur Morgan,
sub for two years on the eleven, and
one of the most popular members of
the Sophomore class, Is the new man

Morgan Is already In communica

Oregon Agricultural College Gives
StmlcntH u Fifth Year.
To all the science courses and to
the mathematical course at the col
lege, a fifth year was added by vote
of the board of regents at the mid
winter meeting Wednesday, says the
Corvallls Times. The move Is the
best day's work done for the college
In years., The added year Is optional
with the student, who can still grad
uate In four years if desired.
For the added year, however, new
degrees, attesting the more udvunccd
scholarship will offered. The
move will keep one more year at the
institution many students who have
been going enst and elsewhere, after
graduation, for more advanced work.
Three of last year's graduates, for
Instance, are now at Cornell, while
several others are in other Institu
tions, getting work the Oregon state
college did not give.
Indeed, a humlllntlng fact Is, that
two former O. A. O. students are now
at Pullman, the state college of Wash
ington, having gone from the Oregon
to the Washington college where mure
advanced work Is available.
A still more potent reason for the
added year Is In the preparation of
graduates. Much of the added year
in nil courses Is laboratory, or prac
tical work. It puts students In the
mechanical, electrical, mining and
other courses, In far better form for
taking positions.
In consequence, when fifth year
graduates In the future shall take po
sitions they will be able to reflect
more credit on the college, and Inci
dentally draw better salaries. The
Importance of this advanced work Is
recognized even by the graduates
themselves, In that so many of them
after graduation at O. A. O. seek other
Institutions while still others come
back to O. A. O. for a post-graduate
course. Something like 20 graduates
are at the college this year, pursuing
post-graduate work.
The added year applies to the
mathematical, electrical, mechanical,
mining, chemical and agricultural
courses. The new degrees to be con
ferred will be civil engineer, electri
cal engineer, mechanical engineer.,
mining engineer, chemical engineer
and agricultural engineer.
The student may. if desired, grad
uate In the four year course with a
bachelor of science degree, and the
following year graduate In the engi
