weekly has suspended publication. Its
publisher is a student at the college and
found that the newspaper work was too
heavylin connection with college studies
and will therefore refund all unexpired
subscriptions . and., cease publication.
The paper was started for the sole pur
pose of paying the publisher's edu
cational expenses; and as this necessity
has been removed, his time will here
after be employed in studies. The move
is certainly a wise one to those acquainted
with the particulars. It is impossible

Pin Money.
An opinion was hauded down by the
Oregon supreme court Tuesday in the
case of A. L. McEadden, 'respondent, vs.
W..A. Swinnerton and John H. Dickin
son, appellants; D. R. Vaughn, C. Sul
livan and Samuel Wyatt, respondents.
The appeal is from Benton, Fuller ton,
judge, and the opinion bv Wolverton is
a modification of his judgment. ; -. -
The plaintiff prayed for an' order
directing an interpleader between several
defendants to determine conflicting in
terests ... toucning a tuna in his hands.
In 1895 the defendant, .Swinnerton filed
a claim for the sum of $12,704.52 against
the Oregon Pacific Railroad Company
and the Willamette Valley & Coast Rail-
oad Company, in a receivership pro
ceedings. .w The claim constituted a num
ber of. lesser claims. A dividend of
$1,245.04 was declared thereon, and Mc-
Fadden paid Swinnerton, his client,
$400 out of the money received, leaving
1720.54 to be disposed of. Each of the
defendants, excepting Dickinson, who
claims all the' money; claims in interest
in the fund, which in the aggregate, ex
ceeds the whole amount thereof. The
plaintiff is ignorant of the respective
rights of the parties,' and offered to de
posit the money in court .or turn it over
to such person as the court- might direct.
The court modified the judgment of the
lower court, and directed that $64.50 be
paid - Dickinson j $16 'for' the expenses
of instituting the siiitjf $196.40 to Sulli
van ; $127.34 to Wyatt; $173.28 to Eglin,
and $273.40 to Swinnerton, or Dickinson,
his agent and attorney. In all other re
spects the decree was affirmed.
A IltSEIrVDAYS. SESSION.
Much Interest Manifested and Pro'toln'eat
Men Present at Meetings ot tie Frnit.
growes lit this City.
Much good is expected to result from
themeetingB ot the fruitgrowers bow being
held in this city. The officials of the
state board of horticulture, who are now
here, and those of the experiment sta
tion will Teport progress in their work
covering the past year, and then receive
suggestions from fruitgrowers regarding
the best methods for killing pests and
fostering the fruit industry. Everything
relative to orchards and fruitraising will
be discussed from a scientific standpoint.
Each of the organizations named has a
different line of work cut outr-but both
are working for the common interests of
the " frnit industry. The experimental
-department, while under control or the
agricultural college, is supported by the
government. It .conducts experiments
.regarding, the, relative merits of various
varieties of frnit under certain climatic
conditions ; studies' the habits of pests
and fungi, so that a remedy for their ex
termination may be found and provide a
fund of important information which the
fruitgre were jCan draw upon with profit to
themselves. . The state board of horti
culture makes a business of condemning
infected fruit and also fruit orchards that
are diseased beyond control, and in this
way weed out the dangerous parasites
that threaten the industry. Its scope is
in line with that of a health officer in a
city. It keeps, orchards clean, inspects
the markets,- takes means of killing
pests and performs a number of other
duties along the same line. s
Therefore, in order to get the best re
sults, each organization., baa found it
essential to try to co-operate with the
other. In some instances stumbling
blocks have been encountered ia the
progressive forward movement, but
these were soon harmonized, until today
excellent results are being obtained.
During the past few years fruitgrowers
have bettered the grade of their fruit a
hundred fold and have plenty of room
yet for improvement. Through the
efforts of the state board of horticulture a
foreign market has been opened which
will make a growing demand for Oregon
fruit. ' '. -; . '"
The meeting was pened at 2:30
Wednesday afternoon, and organisation
was " effected." William Galloway was
elected chairman; W. K. Newell, secre
tary, and E. R. Lake, assistant secretary.

At the evening session Hon. J. T. Ap-
person delivered the address of welcome.
Response was made by M. O. Lonsdale,
who referred to the numerous difficulties
confronting the fruit grower. He sug
gested methods whereby the experiment
station might be of greater assistance to
the growers and exhorted fruitmen to
help themselves. :. ; , ''

Marry Beard at San Miguel.
Harry Beard, formerly leader of the
O A C band, who left for the Philippines
with the 35th infantry has written home
to bis parents in Linn county giving
some of his experiences as a soldier. He
says :. Well, I guess you have read of
the bloody battle of San Miguel, on the
morning of December 11, and how the
gallant 35th took the town. They do
say that two Mauser bullets actually
came over our beads. With the little
skirmish if it really deserves that
name I think I have seen about as
much war as there is ever here. If
there ever was any fighting over here it
is about done with. There has not been
a decent scrap on the island since we
have been here. Company F went out
scouting some time ago and one little
fight where they : killed seventy-two
insurgents. One of the soldiers Who
was formerly in the band but was trans
ferred to Company F as bugler, received
special mention for bravery. - r'
But to return to the "Battle of San
Miguel." The town was occupied by the
insurgents under General Pilar. It was
to be attacked simultaneously by the
Thirty-firth on the north, and Third and
Sixteenth infantry, and Fourth ' cavalry,
and one battery of the-Fourth artillery
on the other sides. But through' some
mistake or other) they were all too slow
and the glory (7) all went to the Thirty-
fifth. We left oUr blanket rolls on the
snail-train, as we really expected a fight
The band had orders to play- the charge
as the men went over the trenches. We
were up and en the road by five o'clock
as we had nearly twenty miles to march,
and I will say that we covered the whole
distance by noon without a man dropping
out. When we were about six miles
from the town a few insurgents opened
fire on therflrst battalion.: - The rest of
the regiment was not init at all, but we
waited. there in a rice field until a few
volleys' were exchanged when- the firing
ceased and we marched on." One insur
gent was killed and three wounded.' One
thing we noticed that every house along
the road had a flag of truce and for
several miles they were all deserted
All the firing came from the woods right
among a lot ef houses with white flags
floating from them. After this little
interaction in our march we went on
but kept watch of houses that had flags
of trace on them. When we got In light
of the town it was the same thing
J!very heme bad Its white flag, but we
had no faith in them and everybody was
looking for a hard fight, to begin at any
minute. We did not see any trenches.
but the band master had given orders for
every man to have his valves in good
working order. We kept marching
toward the town, and as our orders were
to march right in, we did so without a
shot being fired. The insurgents march
ed out just before we got there, and
escaged to the mountains. So ended the
fight before San Miguel, one of the
bloodiest battles of history, (nit). Thus
the Thirty-fifth failed to win the glory
that time, but it was even worse for
the others. In the afternoon she Third
infantry -came in and on seeing said,
'What the bell outfit is this in here
ahead of naT" (Each regiment wanted
to be first). The Fourth cavalry waited
outside the town nearly all afternoon to
hear firing from the other aides, hat they
finally thought they would come en and
see what they could see, when they came
upon an outpost of the Thirty-fi Ah.
Irt Buto TTrirtU
The athletic editor ef the Oregon ian
places the following estimate spaa the
teams of the intercollegiats toetball
association of the season 1(99. The
columns of matter furnished the Ortgo-
nian by the manager of the Salem team
claiming the superiority of that aggre
gation do not-seem to have had much
weight with those familiar with the
ability and record of the various teams:
The Oregon agricultural college, of
Corvallis. deserves to rank next highest
to ' Eugene that Is, judging from the
showing made by Corvallis against M. A.
A. C, and comparing its game with that
of Salem against Portland's team. Cor
vallis was a harder game than Salem;
its work was faster and fiercer and, for
general all-around work, It deserves
second place. . -
The order, then, would be: Eugene,
Corvallis, with Salem and Cbsmawa tied
for third place. Albany college . and
Pacific University, of Forest Grove, had
teams, but their work was not up to the
caliber of the - larger colleges.. Next
season should be another successful one,
if the present disagreement in the league
is settled.

Portland Got It.
The State Poultry Show will be held
in Portland next year, this .was decided
at the meeting of the association at
Albany, last Saturday, when the above
named city received 61 - votes and Cor
vallis, 68 after a red hot contest. Cor
vallis business men had worked and
hoped for the bringing of the show here,
but too much confidence was placed in
the poultrymen of Albany, who fluked
when the test came. Several able speak
ers from Multnomah argued for Portland
as a meeting place for th reason that
more fanciers would gather there and a
greater number of fin birds would be
disposed of. This is well enough for
these who have birds to sell and wish to
use the show as a market, hut the pur
pose of the association is to encourage
and hnild np th poultry industry In this
state. ! Benton county has some enthusi
astic poultrymen and the . action of the
association will not dampen their -ardor.
Geo. Liadermanahd Mr. Buchanan,

TO ENCOURAGE DAIRYING.
V. D. Calver. ot the Creamery Package Co.
U la thlsIState for that Parpese.
This . office . acknowledges a very
pleasant call last Saturday from Mr. C.
H. Markham, general freight and pass
enger agents of the Southern Pacific, and
Mr. F. D. Culver, representing the
creamery package company, of Chicago.
Mr. Culver is one of the best posted men
on dairying in the United States and the
object of his visit to this state is to make
himself familiar with Oregon's . needs
and possibilities in the dairy line and to
encourage to the greatest possible extent
the early development of this industry.
To this end he is being given every
assistance by Mr. Markham, who is a
most persistent worker in developing
the state's resources.
! Oregon has grand prospects if Bhe will
turn her attention to dairying, says Mr.
Culver. "She has every facility for
obtaining even better results and making
more money in creameries than the
older Eastern states, where land ia high
er, where it costs more to grow feed, and
where the rigors of winter are to be
contended with."
This is an ideal dairying country, the
mild climate, the low cost of feed, to
gether with a good market for butter,' are
factors which make dairying profitable.
Fully one-half of the butter sold on Puget
Sound and shipped to Alaska is Eastern
butter. It is shipped to the coast at a
cost ef three cent per pound. Oregon
creameries ought to manufacture this
butter, having everything ia their favor.
. An accurate statement of the results of
the State Agricultural College herd in
Minnsota show that the average feed
cost per cow last year was 5.4 cents per
pound of batter and the average price
realised by patron from sale of butter
was 17 cent per pound. Th average
price obtained by patron of creamery
was nearly 25 cent per pound, and the
feed cost was considerably less than in
Minnesota. There are over 700 cream
eries in Minnesota, and over 500 of them
are operated and owned by farmers as
co-operative creameries. In Meeker
county there are 14 creameries, and the
amount realised last year by patrons waa
$250,000; in Steel county, with 18
cream tries, th sum was over $600,000,
while ia Jefferson county, Wisconsin, th
enormous sum of $1,750,000 waa realised
by patrons of creamtriea in that county
alon.
While the Oregon Agricultural College
is doing a grand work along this and
other lines and commendable effort are
being mad by the farmers to heed what
it ia teaching, Mr. Culver believes more
could and should b done by all. He
ha traveled through nearly every state
in the Union ia the interest of creameries
and much good will undoubtedly result
from his visit to Oregon.
Still Causing Troabie. -
Th disease among goats which has
been perplexing aad annoying all those
interested in this industry, give signs of
again becoming troublesome this season.
So far, effort to ascertain the cause and
nature of the disease have been baffled.
This week an animal belonging to Henry
Dunn, which had fallen a victim, was
brought to the experiment station, and
Dr. Witbycombeand his assistants are
performing experiments looking to a
solution of the trouble.
The heart of this animal was badly
affected, the vaivesnd walls being soft
and flabby. The liver of ! goat belong
ing to Otto Dickoff, in Alsea, was brought
to the college. Tuesday. It was filled
with the spores of a tape worm, and the
ailment ot the animal which possessed it
will be more readily determined.
Investigation has net; progressed suf
ficiently in the case of th ether animal
to justify a conclusion as to the cause of
its death.
