ALASKA.
It is certain that in all the
world there is no richer gold
producing country than Alaska
It is not yet forty years since
the great territory was acquired
from Russia at the price of
$7,200,000. When Alaska be
came territory of the United
States, at the above mentioned
price there were many "doubt-!
ing Thomases" in this country
who declared that we had "paid
too dearly for our whistle."
The purchase of Alaska was
One of the best bargains ever
made by those handling the reins
of our government. How insig
nificant would the price paid for
this vast belt of mineral wealth
appear compared with the out
put of gold in Alaska during a
single twelve months. Nor is
gold the only source of wealth
the fisheries of themselves are
worth millions and then there
is the timber to be reckoned.
As the years pass by the trade
of the Northlanders becomes
more and more a matter of great
importance and magnitude. Un-
til the present practically all the
business of the North has fallen
to Seattle even now such is the
case. Portland business men
have ever been dilatory in seek
ing their share of a trade that is
on a cash basis, on a large scale,
and growing every day. Port
landers have not even met the
demands made upon them, and
on some occasions have turned
down Alaskans who sought to do
business with them. This cer
tainly is far from a progressive
procedure and foriegn to 20th
century ideas of "getting there. ' '
Just at present this matter is
attracting some little attention
in business circles in Portland
, and we are "'almost" assured
that the metropolis of Oregon
will do business henceforth on
right lines. There is nothing
certain, positive or definite in the
matter, however, and all we can
do is to hope. "Hope deferred
maketh the heart sick." .
Dr. Withycombe on Markets.
"The Chcago packer can well
afford to pay $6 a hundred on
foot, yet the Oregon stockraisers
cannot see a profit in shipping to
Chicago at $2 75 in competition
with others. Wh t is needed is
the establishment of meatpacking
plants in the state so we can send
our products out in dressed form,"
he said.
"Instead of boasting of the pre
ponderance of her. banking
wealth, Portland's commercial
factors should bestir themselves
to open up new avenues of con
sumption for the agricultural and
horticultural products of the
state. v,. .-
"Another serious condition is
that with which wheat producers
of, Wheeler, Grant Gilliam, Mo:-;
row and other Eastern Oregou
counties are confronted--! he
danger of wearing out the soil in
the perpetual production of
wheat, i It is only a question of
time when the - life-giving prop
erties or the soil will' have
been exhaus'ed and. t,he industry
will suffer .a serious slump.
V .at would then become of Ore
gon's wheat trade with the Ori
ent is apparent ;. . These farmers
should rotate their- wheat crops
with sueh products as alfalfa,
peas or other forage crops in
order to preserve the fertility of
; the aoil. . . .. 1 ;
"There is no present induce
ment, however, for the Eastern
Oregon farmer to produce these
closes of products, but, if he
were etxourarc' in the stock in
dustry, for the v :::nption ; of
such crops, the question, would be
solved and two giaut industries
will have been reserved."

Albany Wins.
The Corvallis school boys went I
to Albany Saturday to do battle
on the gridiTon for football su
premacy against their team. The
Herald gives the following ac
count of tbe affair:
The Corvallis high school team
came over yesteiday 'and ii. the
afternoon met the Albany Ama
teurs., on tie Maccabe; park grid
iron w'vh tbe result that Albanv
won the game with a score of j.6
to 6 with 6 points claimed by
Corvallis disputed until a study
of the rules can be made. The
two teams played good ball and
the contest was an iBteresring
one and greatly, enjoyed by a
considerable crowd. The Corval
lis team was supposed to be bet
ter trained than the Albanv eleven
as the local teamt has. had but a
couple of days , training . under
the direction of Alton B. Coates,
but this appears to have been
well done for after Corvallis had
in the first inning made the dis
puted six points, Albany had the
game all their own wav until
near the end. In the first inning
Albany made n points, two
touchdowns and one goal kick,
and in tbe second one tjuchdown
was msde.
Rousing Chapel Exercises.
During the session of the Good
Roads Association in Corvallis,
its entire membership were invit
ed by President Gatch to visit the
school and be present at the
morning., assembly at chapel
Among the distinguished body of
gentlemen were some of the most
prominent men in the state. It
was an occasion which the OAC
students will long remember. It
was the first time in many years
that so many leading minds ap
peared before them and it wit
probably be several more before
they may have the opportunity
of hearing such excellent talks.
Judge Webster, of Multnomah
county, was the first introduced
He displayed his ability to make
things amusing and after relating
some amusing incidents about
ex-Governor Geer he closed with
a seriaus talk upom college life
and the work before the - people
01 Oregon. , . v.
- T. T.. Geer then , stepped upon
tbe. platform.. and proved mmsej
quite the equal of Judge - Webster
in beiug a .master of witicism
The Governor referred to his col
lege days when he, too, was a
student under our popular
president, T. M. Gatch. He
too, addressed the students, upon
the importance of good roads, and
the work before: the people of the
state. Judge . Ryan, of Clack
amas county, and Tom Richard
son, of Portland, also made
speeches.
This congregation of so many
representative men from various
parts of the state was not only a
treat to the students, but a boost
to the college as well. Everyone
of them spoke in the most flatter
ing manner of the institution and
the work it is doing. Professors
Fulton and Skelton appeared on
the program and besides deliver
ing excellent talks they made
more clear the relation of the
college to the good roads move
ment, showed the purpose and
intent ot such instruction in the
college and the course of instruc
tion given.
Lecture Recital.

numbers prior to taeir rendition
In this way the lives of the com
posers will be touched, also th
character of their work ; and ' ih
conditions under . which it was
done. Surely such recitals are
entertaining as well as instructive
and appeal strongly to our mus
ical people. The general public
is cordially invited and it should
be remembered that this recital
is absolutely free. Following is
a very interesting program:'
