WERE FOREDOOMED.
It is difficult to accurately sum
battle just fought in the Corean!?ePle's b home
Wwr, thfl fnrMR of ln a case of this kind. The mat-
Japan and Russia in detail. There
are still contrary reports. How
ever, experience has taught that
when reports touching on the
same subject have been sent out
simultaneously from both Japan
and Russia it have been wise to j
credit the reports of the former j
power and disregard those of the
latter.
Taking Japanese accounts for
a basis, or on this point that of
Russian, there has been one of
the most utter and humiliating
defeats just administered the
Baltic fleet that was ever suffer,
ered by any nation. Upward of
twenty of Russia's fighting ves
sels have been sunk or captured;
more than 3,000 prisoners taken,
among whom are Rojestvensky
and Nebogatoff , almost entire
and complete annihilation. Rus
sia can never recover from the
effects of this war during the
period of an average life.
As usual the Japanese show no
spirit of boastfulness on the part
of her leaders as a result of this
great victory. There is on every
nand an evidence of- calmness
" and assurance that demands the
respect and begets the confidence
of the world.
What will Russia now do ? Her
impotency has ieen proved to the
satisfaction f all world powers,
-but whether the czar is astute
' enough to know when his forces
have been defeated enough times
is still a doubtful matter. Rus
sia for years has-maintained an
exalted op'nion of her powers,
and so certain has she always
been of her supremacy in all
things that she treated Japan
and all the demands of the lat
ter with contempt. In conse
quence of her stuck-up ideas of
her own greatness her humilia
tion is the greater in the present
hour. ,
At a single bound Japan enters
the first ranks as a naval power.
Togo, the Japanese god among
all her admirals, and the efficiency
of those under his command may
not take off their hats- to any
power. Add to the Japanese
navy the vessels just captured
from Russia, and man the latter
with sailor boys and gunners
from the "Flowery Kingdom"
and the Mikado has a navy that
begets respect.
Will Russia cry enough ? It is
hard to say. However, it is pos
sible that some of the powers
maylintervene shouldjthe czar not
come to a realization of the true
situation when the real status of
, affairs have had time- to "soak
. in" a bit. The wisdom of inter
vention is a doubtful quantity.
While it may seem an awful
thing to suggest, in view of the
thousands of lives that may be
sacrificed, it might prove a sav
ing of life in the long run to
- let Japan continue until Russia
of her own volition calls quit.
So long as Russia does hot know
she is whipped there is little to
be gained in the long run by in
tervention. '
A NATIONAL POLICY.
At present the great papers
throughout the East are devot
ing much space to. discussion of
the proposed purchase of sup
plies for Panama canal building
in foreign markets. .It is doubtful
if any congress will ever foster
or encourage the policy of the
United States going abroad to
purchase supplies for use in- any
national undertaking. '
It Is just and proper that in
purchasing supplies for building
the Panama canal that the na
tion's money should be returned
as largely as possible to the indus
tries of such nation. There is no
desire to wholly ignore foreign
manufacturers, . but throughout
the length' nd breadth of the
land it is sincerely hoped that
(enough of the charity-begins-at-
home feeling exists to compell a
looKOut tor the welltare 01 our
people and our people's industries.
It is beyond doubt a right of
the people to demand that the
jterf tarif cut .no figure-it is
we feel were we to spend from
$100,000,000 to $150,000,000 on
J the canal and have, say three
'fouiths of it go to foreign na
tions? Such a condition of af
fairs would make a man with his
country's welfare at heart, curse.
A New Service.
A change of train service has
been adopted on the C. & E. in
order to make proper connection
with trains running to and from
ortland. .This new service, is
between Corvalhs and Albany
and is now in effect.
As the service- is at present,
trains leave Corvalhs for Albany
at 6:30 a. m., 11:30 a. m., and
p. m. Trains over C. & E.
from Albany arrive in Corvallis
at 1:33 p. mM 3:20 p. m., and
9:55 p. m. Heretofore we have
had ttwo trains going and com
ing irom Aioany and we now
have three. The train for Ya
quina continues on its regular
schedule. -.
The train arriving at 9:55 is
the one canning evening mail
from Portland, but this mail is
not distributed until morning on
account of its late arrival. No
fault can be found with Post
master Johnson on this score, as
such an undertaking would string
his hours out too long. If he at
tempted , to distribute this mail
after arrival at such an hour (still
ater at the office) it would be
about midnight before he 'would
get through.
Of Local Interest.
An article that came like a clap of
thunder appeared in the Portland Tele'
gram of May 2ov It was not a dispatch
aud must have come from Portland
authority. W bat inspired the artic'e
many of our citizens are guessing. The
article is as follows :
Dissatisfaction with President Thomas
Gatch, of the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege, exists among the board of regents,.
and the time is believed not far distant
when the present bead of that institu
tion, will be asked to resign, if be does ,
not voluntarily take such action.
The dissatisfaction is said to be due
altogether to the age of the president,
which, it is said renders it difficult for
bim to direct tbe affairs of the school as
should be. No word is heard against
Mr. Gatch of a personal character or in
any way reflecting on his good inten
tions as head of the school. It is rather
that his extreme age, for the president is
an octogenarian, is claimed to render it
extremely bard for nim to fill the role of
an active and up-to-date- executor of
affairs at the , head; of : an : institution
where between 600 and 700 students are
enrolled. ;. : . ' ;
Just how soon the climax will come is
uncertain. For a Ion?; time there has
been dissatisfaction with President
Gatch's work, but out of consideration
for the personal feelings of a man who
has spent his life in the cause of educa
tion, the board of regents has been Joaih
to take olBcial action against hira. And
even now, it is difficult to say when an
order- will relieve the ajred president
from further duties When it does, the
present incumbent of the presidential
chair will probably be given a tutorship
in the college, where le6S effort will be
required and where he may spend his
remaining days of usefulness in a line of
work that will be lees taxing cn his
energies. . - '"' '
7 President Gatch is everywhere recog
nized as an educator of more than ordi
nary merit. As a teacher he is believed
to have few equals in the state, but as a
pre ident who rcuEt needs be an execu
tor as well as an instructor, the argu
ment obtains with many that Mr. Gatcb
has seen h:s best days. v
Thus far the matter has not developed
to a point where any particular success-
or is talked of.
o Secret About It.
It is no secret, that for cuts, burns,
ulcers, fever sores, sore eyes, boils, etc.,
nothing was so effective .. as Bucklen's
Arnica Salve. "It didn't take long to
cure a bad sore I had, and it is all O. K.
for sore eyes," writes D. L. 'Gregory,
of Hope,' Texas. 25c at Allen .Wood
ward's drug store. N
Memorial Services.
The services in the -M.-.E.
church, Tuesday evening, were a
fitting close for Memorial Day.
All of the exercises were of high,
order, tbe address by Rev. Bush

a little to the interest of the bc
cas'on. The church was beauti
