The Dingley tariff, just " and equitable as it is, has been evaded and its end defeated on many occasions since its pas sage in 1897. ... The scheme of undervaluation was the one that did the trick for a time, but the call down given George Borgfeldt & Co., New York City, is likely to be productive of good. , This com pany import vast quantities of t pottery, glass and chinaware each year, and in order to avoid the payment of just duties, it became a fixed policy with them to have their importations undervalued when shipped. Lesley M. Shaw, secretary of . the treasury, undertook to secure a fair administration of the law and force . importers to place a correct valuation upon their im portations- This did not suit Borgfeldt & Co. and they enlist- r ed the Merchant's Association of New York against the findings of the. treasury department. Af fairs went from bad to worse un- . til finally it was referred to Pres ident Roosevelt. . Believing in a "square deal for every man, ' ' the president listen ed to both sides of the question, March 30. It is very gratifying to note that he very promptly gave his opinion in support of the treasury department in its effort to put down an attempt to de- - fraud the government by an eva sion of the payment of tariff duties.- This is another instance when our president has stood pat." delegation to the metropolis on j this occasion. Other towns are going to have large delegations on the field and i the reason that , other places in the valley are taking so. much in terest in this convention is be cause they consider it to their interest to do so. If it is of in terest to people of other towns to be on hand for business on this occasion'surely it is to the interest of us to be in evidence. Who will go l iow many can spare the time ? Will our delegation need a special car ? bis tu wauling aud finuhtd hi spring seeding for bim. - The people of Simp! oo ci apel have organized a League, Society with about thirty charter members. 7r.

' The management of the Lewis -and Clark Fair .certainly have ; little desire for an educationa exhibit from their own state. The accusation that said management ; is not informed regarding the merits of the various educationa institutions of the state wbuld be a reflection upon the intelligence of this board. But if well :in formed, why so little attention to such an educational exhibit as could have been produced by the schools and colleges of the state ? The Oregon Agricultural Col lege, located in this city, is the largest college in the Northwest and for more than a year has been at work preparing an ex hibit for the Exposition. For such an exhibit as OAC can make considerable space would be re quired, as our college does noth ing on small lines. It is now un derstood that OAC is to receive a floor space 8x16 feet. . ; Think of it ! A whole year for such a space there never was a time during the past fifteen years that OAC could not have cram med such a little "cubby hole" full on fifteen minutes notice, and never have missed it. OAC is not the only college cut down on space- We have heard mutterings to the effect that)ur college will not send an exhibit, but have heard of no definite plan of action for such a course.
