Nature has her crying spells,

Good will come out of the strife
Make the best of it.
Hearts must know their'share of
pain,
Life must know a little rain.

Fight the gloom that clouds
your way.
You'll get the best of it.

about conditions here and the dlffer
eent localities.
"Today that man mot the writer
and disclosed the frightful condition
of affairs. Ho said one man would
tell hiru that n certain locality was
ideal; that the land was good, water
plentiful and conditions first class.
Then he would mention the same lo
cality to another Individual and It
would receive a thorough knocking
and drubbing, causing the prospec
tive buyer to feel amazed. Another
native will add his mite to the knock
ing whicil makes the new comer lose
interest in the lnnd and he casts his
eyes around for another location. It
is found and the same program fol
lows. The stranger said ho had no
idea how long this would last if a man
continued to pick out different lands,
hut he was satisfied that there were
enough knockers here to continue the
matter indefinitely."
This habit of knocking the other
fellow's proposition in hopes of do
ing something for yourself is not
straight, clean business in the realty
line or in any other line. It is a re
prehensible practice. If your own
proposition is not sufficiently strong
upon its own merits don't try to
irengthen your case by libelling your
competition. That is not honorable.
Besides when realty men follow such
tactics they serve to create general
distrust among the intending purchas
ers. It drives people out or tne coun
try. The same thing is true to an ex
tent at least when this knocking hab
it is followed by those in mercantile
lines. If you have the habit break it
up.

PRESIDENT KERR'S WORK.
In his address last evening Presi
dent Kerr told of the rapid growth of
the Oregon Agricultural College dur
ing the past few years. The insti
tution has gone to the front until it
now ranks .as one of the three great
schools of the kind in the United
States. It is surpassed only by the
splendid agricultural colleges of Iowa
and Michigan. O. A. C. is the leading
agricultural college of the west and its
natural field is such that it will hold
lt3 enviable position:
However, the satisfactory progress
the school has made during the past
three years has been due very largely
to the administration of President
Kerr. When Dr. Kerr was called to
the presidency of O. A. C. he saw the
reat cossibilities of the school and
began at once to lay broad plans for
the future. Immediately the institu
tion took new life in all departments
and the growth and general advance
ment since the arrival of President
Kerr has been truly remarkable. Dr.
Kerr is one of the new school of col
lege presidents. As well as being an
educator he is also a strong, capable
bisiness manager. He- has need o
uch ability because he has control of
property valued at over a million dol
lars, has a faculty of nearly 100 mem.
hers to direct and is also at the head
of the important experimental work
.iif t nnderwav throughout the
state.
The average man has no realiza
tion of the fact but the president of
the agricultural college has about the
most responsible position In the
tne The work he has to do is of
the utmost Importance to the mater
ial welfare of Oregon. It Is the aim
of the agricultural college to fit its
students for practical participation in
industrial and commercial life and It
does this.
There are 10,000 O. A. C. graduates
and former students scattered about
the state and nation. They are en
gaged In all manners of work ranging
from truck gardening to the manage
ment of great industrial enterprises
There Is one O. A. C. man upon the
supreme bench of Oregon, while an
other distinguished graduate, William
T. Herrin. has become a leading
counsel for the Rarrlman railway sys
tern. The army of O. A. C. graduates
offers testimony to the work the
school has done In the past and Is al
so an Index to what may be expected
of the future with the school under
the administration of such men

Some people have been blaming
Haliey's comet for tru severe weather
jtliat has prevailed all over the coun
try this winter. Whether or not this
blame is well placed the East Ore
gonian is not saying. It is certain,
however, that at this time the fam
ous comet is arousing much interest.
"From now on reports. to the ef-fi-ct
that Halley's cornet has been
seen bv other than professional as
tronomers will become more fre
quent," says the Christian . Science
Monitor. "It was picked out by a
nine-inch telescope in New England
a few nights aso. According to Flam-
mt'.rion it is traveling toward us ot
the rate of 120.000 miles an hour, so
that while through the ordinary glass
it rrtHy appear to be little more than
a .liscoloration for some time to

week by week until the field glass and
the oriera class and, finally, the un
aided eye will he able to locate and to
holii it. According to present calcu
lations, the comet will be in perihelion

spicuous object, and it will continue
as the greatest public spectacle of
th period for some weeks.

COLLEGE WOMEX IX HOMES.
The liead of Btyn Mawr college is
a profound, sincere and brilliant wo
man. Recently she has taken up the
charge that tho college-trained wo
man is unfitted for domestic life-, Her
inquiries have convinced her that 30
per cent of college women do their
own housework; that though they
marry later In life, they marry moce
wisely; that they have an average of
three and six-tenths children, as
against the noncoliqge women's three
and five tenths. Said the Spectator
of 200 years ago:
"As our English women excel those
of all nations in beauty, they should
endeavor to outshine them in all oth
er accomplishments proper to the sex
and to distinguish themselves as ten
der mothers and faithful wives rath
er than as furious partlzans. Female
virtues are of a domestic turn."
Nobody doubts that the home and
the small child's care will always
fall to the woman. She. is the more
directly responsible for the succeed
ing generation. What Is receiving
heavy blows at present is the tradi
tional and stereotyped idea that
knowledge and intellectual training
are Joss suitable to these hizh tasks
than are frivolity and Ignorance

I P-STATE MORSE TRADING.
A correspondent of the Journal who
attended the horse traders' conven
tion at Monterey on Saturday says
it wan a great event. The supply of
trading stock was large and in good
condition. Each trader was nt his
best. Horses changed hands often
some of them at frequent intervals.
The star feature of the day was the
freou'oney" with which a certain horse
described as a "iuiet animal, warrant
ed not to kick" and whk-h was locat
ed "in the pasture" on a certain farm
was swapped off. Sometimes "the
horse in the pasture" brought its
swapper "sjh.1 boot:" then perhaps
the new owner soon "caught on" and
whs glad to give a few dollars to
induce some friend to become the
owner of the animal. After the con
vention ii lji turned the man to whom
the "horse in the pasture" fell in tho
final deal of the day went to the pas
ture on his way home and found that
hi.-i now possession had been dead for
several days. Corning Journal.

character. Whether with improved

learn much more about it, or about
comets in general, during this visit,
remains to be seen. It will naturally
be subjected while visible to constant
and close scrutiny, for we shall not
lave another opportunity to gaze up

BREAK THIS PRACTICE.
In the following the Baker City
Herald calls attention to a practice
that is aH too common in this county
as well as In Baker county.
A stranger arrived In Baker City
ereral days ago for the purpose of
nurchasinr a tract of land. Being
unfamiliar with the country he nat
orally looked around and talked with
mvam whom he chanced to meet.
A company of select colored artists
ere rendering a version of "Othello."
The scene between the Moor and
Dcsdemona had been reached wherein
Othello demands the handkerchief
which he has given to his wife as a
wedding amulet.
"Desdemona," he cried, "fetch me
it han'kerchief!"
But the doomed lady only babbled
of Cassio. and her llego lord shouted
anain:
'I nut fo' de second time to git mo
dat hun'dkerchief!"
Still the fair one parried the Issue
with talk of Casslo, and the lordly
Othello, thoroughly Incensed, bel-
owed:
Woman, fo de third and las' time
I tell you to git me dat han'dkerchief.
Away!
And as he was just about to open
his mouth u.galn, a big, leathery
lunged patron in the top gallery
shouted down at him:
"Fo' de Land's sake, nigger, why
don' you wipe yo' nose on yo sleeve
an' let de show go on?" Judge's Li
brary.
Tonight many local people vill close
the old year by attending the Bernard
Daly performance for the benefit of
the city park fund. It is a good cause
and everybody should be there. Fur
thermore the ladies are managing the
affair.
Now some one is going to climb Mt.
MeKlnlev bv means of a balloon,
This is assuredly a hot air arrange
ment.

secure a traction system. It must be
