rit.Mf AT IIILSKI.
The grange picnic at Powell's
grove near Halsey last Saturday
under'' the auspices of Charity
grange was largely attended and a
successful affair.
Dr. J. F. Henry, master of Char
ity grange presided and called the
meetiag to order at the proper
hour and announced the program
me, a prominent feature of which
proved to be in the musical line
the Halsey hand discoursing fiue
music. In addition some splendid
vocal music, such as Chanty grange
is famous for. was given. Perhaps
as enjoyable a part of the vocal
music a was given was by two lit
tle girls who carried the eutire
audience with, their beautiful mel
ody. State Lecturer John Simpson, oc
cupied the time before dinner and
although suffering with physical
ailmeuts, made a very good talk.
The dinner of course was the
main feature of the occasion, and
was the full fruition of a picnic's
good time.
State Master H. E. Haye s, then
interested the audience with one of
his teiling speeches, in which he
reviewed the farmers situation
needs and opportunities.
Hon. B. R. Henry's little sou
gave a flueut and effective recita
tion, evincing remarkable elocu
tionary powers for one so young.
Hon. FM. Kizer, responded to
a call and in his usual earnest and
determined manner put the crowd
in roars of laughter and the best of
good humor, withal dealing with
solid facts and figures.
As a closing feature of the day a
hand of disguished "piug uglies,"
wiio had been hovering around the
edes of the grove filed in and
promenaded up to the stand in
procession, where the leader deli
vered a grotesque oration on
grangerism, amid the laughter and
applause of the crowd.
The picnic was a decided suc
cess and the voice of everyone was
"let as have more of the same

THE fUSYAHIS HOLLH.E.
A Meeting of the Bnard of Kegeats The !
Building Not Ac;:p'2d
I
Last Thursday the board of re
gents ot the so called agricultural
college met at Coivaliis, to investi
gtte the situation of that school.
By legal decision, which without
doubt the higher courts will sus
tain the claims of the M. . Church
South, upon the institution are
practically ended, but the board
found that ihs premises, which
consist of thirty fiye acres of land
adjoining the city of Corvallis,
and a new, and well constructed
building which the citizens of
Benton county have erected, was
encumbered with dets amounting
to about one thousand dollars, part
of which 13 a mortgage held by
the- school fund.
They reluscd to accept the trust
until the indebtedness was removed
and the promise was given that ii
would be, at an adjourned
meeting in time to make the ac
ceptance comply with the require
ments ot the law to secure the ben
efits of the Hatch bill, and a cur
riculum of the study talked over
for the next year.
A lew words will not be amiss
here upon this important topic.
An Agricultural College is an es
sential to the state, and ample
provisions have be-;n and will he
made for its maintenance, but that
college must of a necessity be a
distinctly Agricultural College.
To be such it must be located up
on a farm of quality and quantity
to carry on the requirements that
have been fouud necessary in the
staves that have such schools in
successful opt-ration. To do this
not less than 200 acres of good
land is requisite.
In addition to this curriculum
of study must be adopted, and
strictly adhered to, that embraces
the agricultural sciences and not
one based upon the usual classical
course that is in vogue in colleges
and universities. It will not do to
have both courses for by so doing
the fashionable part of the school
will drift to the "Classical" de
partment, and the stigma of cl d
nopperism will be fastened upon
the agricultural course, a condi
tion that must wholly be avoided.
The successful schools that have
grown up under the the appropria
tions for agricultural colleges fully
demonstrate that there is sufficient
in a curriculum that excludes the
dead languages to fully occupy the
time and make ripe and proficient
scholars. Indeed the utility of
Greek and latin is fast becoming
questioned in any course of practic
al study, and most certainly it
should be excluded from an agri
cultural course. Leam live not
dead ianguages.
Oregon shold have a . successful
and influential agricultural college
and experimental station, and the j
tanners oi the state owe it to
themselves that such a school be
come a fixed lact, and to that end
the matter should be taken espec
ial care and cognizam e of at the
next session of the legislature. If
Corvallis makes the present loca
tion and building meet the require
ments of the case all well and
good, and let the state do her part
for it there, but if the requirements
are not filled there put the college
in some locality where thev can be
tilled.

James Morgan Who Robbed Hoffman &
PfeitTer's Store Sentenced for One Year,
In the circuit court yesterday.
James Morgan was indicted for
burglarizing the safe of Hoffman
& Pfeiffer of $39. He plead
iiuilty and was sentenced to the
penitentiary for one year, lie
presented a statement to his honor
Judge Boise, which
with verbatim :
is given here-
To the Hon. Judge Boise, Sir:
I do not wish to cause the count)"
needless expense, therefore shall
throw myself entirely on the mercy
of the court. Iu doing so I consider
it my duty to inform you of the fact
of the case. It is now about eighteen
mouths since what I have inform von
of has taken place. At that time I
was employed by Hoffman & Pfeifer
in their store, as I carried a key to
the sore I used to open the store in
the morning, but did not lock up at
night one or the other of proprietors
doing so. On opening as usual one
morning I was surprised to find the
sale door open, which never happened
before upon investigation. I also
found the baok door unlocked,
another unusual circumstance. It
occurred to me then that the place
must have been robbed, and I think
so yet, had I thea acted on my first
intentions I should have went at
once, and informed my employers of
the suspicious circumstances, and
perhaps all would have been well,
but by hesitating I was lost, curiosity
tempted me to examine the contents
of the safe, when I found some money
still remaining, but knowing that the
firm were doing a large business, and
that there must naturely have been
considerable money in the safe, I
concluded only the bulk of it was
taken, perhaps the gold only as the
remainder was all silver, thinking
then that perhaps they would not
believe mo and that suspicion would
naturally fall on me any how, what
ever 1 said or done, I very foolishly
put the money in my pocket and fled,
and I asure you Sir I have very bit
terly regretted it since, it was m
only false dishonest step, and I have
had no peace of mind since, and
have not prospered in any of my un
dertakings. I had never been a
drinking man before, but I was fool
ish enough to thing I could drown
ren orse by drinking liquor, and tinaly
seeing that I would never prosper
until I acknowledged my faults 1
voluntarly delivered' myself up to the
athoritys, decided to take the con
sequences. I was realy not in any
dantrer of being arrested at this late
day fur nearly every one seemed to
have forgotten r bout it, but I could
never forget it nor forgive myself for
having branded myself as a criminal
for I have felt like a fugitive from
justice for the last eighteen months.
Sir. I have here written the facts
just as they occurred, not to cause
compasion for me as no one but
yourself shall see it, but simply he
cause I consider it my duty to inform
you of the true facts before I receive
sentence. I expect to be punished
as it is but just, buy pray that the
Honerable Court will not be too
severe, tnereiore i am at the mercv
of the Honerable Court.
It is my intention when I get out
of prison to pay back all as soon as
posible. Please excuse pencil as 1
had no pen.
Very Respectfully,
James Morgan
