The Pendleton East Oregonian, speaking of this matter, is quoted, as follows: '"That there must be some ad vantages enjoyed by the Wash-, ington school seems evident. In the case of the Whitman this might be attributed to" its prox imity, and with the University of Washington to the fact that it is near a large city." . Admitting that this is in a measure true the Portland Ore gonian gives other reasons why our students go abroad and pro poses some remedies, which, however, it doubts whether ac centable to the country districts of the state. This great paper takes occasion to speak highly of our beloved OAC. It says: The Oregonian thinks - it can supply a better reason for pre ference by Oregon students for the Washington schools. It is . simply that the institutions are, as a class! superior to our own. State pride is not sufficient to hold our own students to our home institutions if the educa tional advantages the latter have to offer are not at least equal to the advantages to be obtained elsewhere. The Oregon Legislature has for years made . biennially appropriations in the aggregate very large for institu: tions of higher learning. It has, indeed, gone to the extreme - of generiosity in that direction, but it has made the mistake of dis tributing its appropriations to various schools, with the result that there is not a single insti tution in the State of Oregon of the first rank. It is true that, because of the liberal Govern' ment appropriation, the State Agriculture College at Coryallis has attracted more students than any other college, and that it is doing good work; but other schools are, we think, below the standard of efficiency which they might attain if the state could attord to give them larger ap- propriations. It cannot afford them, and should not be called upon to do it. If the norma! schools were to be consolidated, it would be possible to provide adequate equipment in faculty, apparatus, buildings, curriculum and students. We should have a school that would .bear favor able comparison with any similar ' institution in the United States. The mistake we have made is in attempting to place our norma! school on the same basis as the richer and more "popular states. We cannotf do it- The State Uni " versity, with something over 200 students has suffered severely by the distribution of the state's money to a number of small in stitutions and it has been in . jured, too, in point of attendance by its location. If the State University were to be placed at Portland and united with the normal schools, it would be pos sible to build up here a - single magnificient institution of which evciy citizen might well be proud. ' The Oregonian has no idea that any suggestion of this Trind will ever be adopted, be cause of the clamor that would go up throughout the state ! that Portland is trying to kill off the normal schools and the State University in order to revive them in one colossal Portland scheme. Yet The Oregonian is not moved in this matter by any consideration for t-hq benefit of Portland. It is sure that the "location at the metropolis would be the best thing for such a school, but, as-it has already! IHF" CORVAUiS said, ic has no hope that it will ;be done. ' What then is practical? It is I possible to consolidate the nor ! mal schools with the State Uni- versity and giye them, by liberal appropriation, by intelligent and thetic pubHe interest, and J .. , . . fa united effort from all quarters of the state, a prestige through- out the Northwest that will not only keep our students at home, but will actract students from other states. ERA OF FINE STOCK. The conditions are favorable in Uregon lor the stocK raising business in fact, very favorable. The mild winters of the western part of the state, particularly in the Willamette valley, gives im munity from the necessity of storing any large quantity of feed for stock in this section dur ing the winter months. A great er part of the storm season stock may roam fields and ranges at it i win ana many: winters are so mud that a stock raiser may al ow his animals to run at large uncared for twelve months of the year. From the above it is readily seen that an Oregon raiser ' of stock has his Eastern competi tor badly handicapped from the very start so far as natural' con ditions are concerned. Then, again, on account of our warm rains there is ever a good supply of .grass even in the winter t lere is more or less grass. The raiser of stock has this feature as an asset if he is in Western Oregon. That this business or industry will forge ahead there no doubt. As yet it is in its infancy here. - In Benton in the course of years yet to come such herds and droves of - cattle will be raised as would be a revela tion to those at present engaged in the business. The greatest and best sign of what is yet to be in this part of the world lies in the fact that our stockmen are striving to im prove and build up the business. They are paying more attention to their herds; they are breeding better; they are one and all anx ious to secure the best; they are satisfied . with nothing but the best. There is no doubt but the great exhibit of stock which has recently been held in Portland, but which closes today, has been productive of great good. Many of our prominent men, men of all classes of businesses, have made it a point to go to Portland during the stock show- Each and every one on his return 1 1 "1 'Till. ' nome nas declared that the ex hibit was simply immense. It is our belief that the stock exhibit attracted more attention than any one feature of the Exposi tion and corresponding good must result. 'Wanted' a Homestead. Strange people beget queer and unreasonable ideas. A Kausan recently reached Oregon hauling lodged in his cranium the idea that he would secure a fine home stead almost any where within s few miles of pur country-cities. Notwithstanding the fact that he possessed three farms irLXansas (and lrom this one would figure the gentleman to he ot average intelligence) he wanted moie land and the probabilities are that his greed led hirrrto believe every absurd story told him. Such be ing the case, it is but natural to presume that some "wag" con eluded to fill him up good and plenty. The Albany Herald tells the tale, as ipliows: A Kansas man, who had visit ed the Exposition for a week, came to Albany Sunday noon (o look around and see if he could secure a good location.. His first question was, how good a piece of government land he could take within five miles of Albany. If a good 160 acres could be secur ed, he said he did not mind spending a day or two here to perfect the arrangements, when he had to return to his home in Kansas, where he had three good farms to look after. When told that government land was net ! available that near to ihecitv? nor with that little trouble any where, he was disappointed and said he had been swindled, fur he had been told he could take a homestead within a couple of miles of the larger cities in Ore gon anywhere, and secure enough good land in that way free to pay him lor his trouble and ex pense in corning to Oregon. He left on the next tram for Poit- land and will probably try to lo- lare a homestead aud limber cliim in the Portland ciiv park before leaving for his Kansas farms. And, again, he may come to S ilem and locate a claim near that cityt taking up his residence in a cabin already constructed and finding an asylum then the insane asylum, for" instance. For Primary. 1 he following ilispatcli sent out Iri'tn Salem. September 27, will be found of interest, as it related to the new priinar law : Secretary of Stale Dunbar began thU morning to make preparations for the general primary election to be hel l in thiastate April 20. The petitions of all candidates for state and district offices mast be filed with the Serretaiyof State by Aprilfl, in order to have a place on;t.he official ballot. ' It will require at least 60 days for each candidate or his friends to secure the necessary names and prepare the peti tions required by law so that the name appears on the offic al ballot. . The tally sheets will contain space for recording the vo'e for at least 90 . oandi- aat.-s lor earn partv in every county in the state. Two tally sheets will Le fn- pared: One for the Republican party and oue for the Democratic party. No otiier party cast sufficient! votes at the last election to entitle it to recognition in t;ie primary election. Secretary Dunbar placed an order with the state printer for 32,330 blanks to be delivered by January 3. The estimated' cost of the primary election i j between $35,000 and $40,000.
