0 REG ON STUDENTS GO
ELSE-
That many students of. our
state go elsewhere to' study is a
f ict that is attracting attention.
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!

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

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.

It will require at least 60 days for each

The tally sheets will contain space for

Secretary Dunbar placed an order with

cost of the primary election i j between
