Another reason why a national university should encourage the use of a national medium of in struction is that it may help to build up the languages of the country, enrfch our literature and heighten a sense of self-help and self-esteem. Thus, economy of time, econ omy of labor, facilities in the wav of popularizing knowledge, and a promise of the enrichment of national literature, all point toward the adoption of Bengali as a medium of instruction in a na tional university. But when I advocate the use of Bengali as a medium of a national university let no one understand that I want to eschew English entirely. That would be a sad mistake. In fact, English is more or less at pres ent an inter-provincial medium of language and so long as other provinces do not awaken to the neressitv of havine a national language to eliminate English from the national curriculum will be to cut off our young men from foreign as well i s inter-provincial communication. It is, therefore, desirable to encourage the student to master English, or any other foreign language, as much as possible, and it may be even necessary to employ largely and liberally for- amination with credit and show aptitude for business are enti tled to offer themselves as candi dates for a stipend which permits them to remain three years in some foreign country for the purpose of studying economic conditions and acquiring a prac lical knowledge of business. The courses of commerce ought to include foreign languages, bookkeeping, commercial law, history of commerce, commercial geography, banking, exchange, mail, railroad traffic, and visits to factories. Under the auspices of the na tional university should be or ganized special schools for arch itects, machinists, electricians, dyers and Weavers. How much these special schools are needed can be seen from, the fact that there are in every civilized coun try special schools even for bar bers, tin-smiths, printers, book binders, decorators, druggists, butchers, waiters, turners, fire men, wood carvers, confection aires, painters, varnishers, musi cians, millers, bead makers, dress trimmers, paper hangers, watch makers, hawkers, etc., and the same course in arithmetic, industrial drawing. physics, bookkeeping, geometry, sketch ing, mechanics, modelling, chemistry, correspondence and language is taught to every one of them. For models in techni cal and industrial schools our university should go to Germany and America never to England which itself looks to Germany for lessons. Not long ago Iord MORE OYSTERS FOR YAQUINA.

Before starting a national uni versity it will be worth while to 0 language as a great: meamm u, different parts of the .university instruction. world to visit the institutions of uu a u,tuuu. submit a scheme for our univer- . can pront by tne nauonai uni versitv and thus increase its use fulness. But whatever foreign words we use we should bear in mind that an orator or speaker should always accomodate him self and his words to the people whom he is addressing and should alwavs aim at simplicity and et- fectiveness rather than ink-horn phrases and pompous words sity. Without actual examina tion of modern educational sys tems followed abroad no amount of writing and sueeest'on can j- - oo make any scheme ot forming university perfect. The industrial schools under the national university ought to rower the lollowins? trades and vv , - o m industries: Weaving, finishing, cabinet making, basket making, J. D. Wilcox of Portland, one of the owners of a large oyster bed at Yaquina Bay, was in the cit yesterday afternoon on his way home from the bay, where he had inspected his property and made preliminary arrangements for the planting of several carloads of oysters to be received from the east in the early spring. He reports the two carloadB planted laBt year as doing nicely, and looks for a fine business from his ven ture in the couree of a lew years. The only danger to the oysters now in the beds is from high water, and while this danger might develop, the owner of the oyster beds do ot anticipate any trouble from that source this year, Some time in April Mr. Wiicox ex pects several carloads more young oys ters to be planted on his Yaquina bay beds. The oysters have been ordered and will be brought out before the hot weather of spring interferes with their shipment across the continent. The oysters come in barrels, about 12,000 young oysters being packed in a barrel, on old shells, on which they have matur ed and as in the pa-t they will be plant ed in that condition and allowed to come to full maturity in that shape In speaking of the young oysters planted at the bay last spring, Mr. Wilcox stated yesterday that those young oysters, which will not be ready for the market for another two years, ha ve done exceedingly well and ae now of larger size than the native oyster when the latter is fully matured, and be thinks that' the Delaware oyster when transplanted to the Yaquina bay beds will be larger and finer than in its native beds. The flavor of the eastern oyster when brought to maturity at Yaquina bay is also superior . to the eastern product and almost up to the flavor of the native oyster. Thus far the propagation of the east ern oyster ou the Pacific coast has not been a complete success, owing to the colder water found here than that in which the oyster ia produced in the east. Experiments have been made for many years with a view to acclimat icg the oyster from Delaware in coast waters, and success, so earnestly hoped for, has thus far been meager. Bat it is thus far hoped that this may yet be accomplished. About 160 carloads of oysters are an nually Bbipped across the continent for consumption on the Pacific coast, and the treizht charges on a carload are about $900. With a saving - of these freight charges a fine market oould be built up if the eastern oyster could be successfully propegated here and brought to maturity b o as to supply the demand for this article of consumption. But it this cannot be accsmslished there id still a good business awaiting the owners of the Pacific coast oyster beds who import the seed, plant it and produce oysters of superior flavor here for the home market.

Along with the growth of swadishi movement there has risen a demand for home-made goods and it is the duty of the nniversitv to train some of its students in a way that will turn out India's best commercial men How much commercial schools are needed in Europe is apparent from the fact that the little Kingdom of Saxony has got fifty student will receive wages for the work actually pertormed the same as a common laborer, and during the hour devoted to such instruc tioa the student should assist in the manufacturing of materials and machines. Arrangements should be made with the manag ers ot the factories to permit the student to temporarily act as foreman or manager of some par ticular departmeut or branch of manufacture alter he has passed To date but four petitions with platforms have been filed . by those who are candidates at the coming primary election for nom ination for office. It is note worthy that these are all the fil iners of republicans and all -for the same office, county .iudge of Benton. As a matter of com parison and news we reprint the various platforms in the order of their filing, as follows: If I am nominated and elected I will favor liberal expenditure for continued improvements of roads throughout the county economy in county affairs that shall tend to lessen taxation, and will devote my time wholly to the daties of the office, and shall try to see in the administration of its affairs that everyone gets a "square deal. "-E. Woodward. Some three , weeks later the next petition and platform was filed: ' If elected I will personally ex amine our county roads in the winter time to ascertain their needs; personally examine our county bridges; personally ex amine all road work when being done by our road supervisors; will favor liberal financial aid for roads and bridges; liberal finan cial support to our public schools; equal and just distribution of taxes upon all classes of proper ty; an economical administration of all county affairs; I will devote my entire time to the office; and said office will be found in the court house. J. B. Irvine. Thursday this platform was filed at the court house: If nominated and elected I will, during my term of office, devote my entire time to the duties of the office. I will guard the interests of the taxpayers in the administration of county af fairs to the best of my ability; am prepared to draft and super intend the construction of all bridges in the county without any additional expense to the taxpayers thereof. My office will be in the court house where I will be found when not other wise officially engaged. A. J. Williams. The next day after the tilmgJ of A. J. William's, the following platform was filed with the peti- ion of another candidate: If I am nominated and elected will during my term of office devote my entire time and more to the duties of said office; give a personal supervision over every school and road district m the ponntv: draw the plans and do the building of all - bridges with out additional expense to the tax navers: contribute from my salary a sufficient amount to pro vide for the maintenance of the county poor; will expert the ac counts and keep a perpetua watch over all other county offi cers; uphold the primaries and enforce the local option law, and administer the affairs of the county to the best of my ability and to the interests of the tax payer.

One of the county fruit inspec fnrc in Orepon has issued some suggestions to tree growers for their benefit for caring for their trees. A few of them are as follows: . "Cherry trees should be spray ed once a year for San Jose scale; apples once for San Jose scale and two or three times forcodling moth. "The salt, lime and sulphur spray discolors paint and it is almost impossible to spray a tree within twenty ieet trom a nouse without damaging the house. Care should be exercised in hand ling the spray. "Do not spray your trees when they are dripping wet or jnst hpfore a rain. Sorav should have at least six hours in whij to dry before a shower strikes i' Otherwise its effect is destroyeri "Do not permit any one u use anv mixture in sprayin, trees other than lime, salt ann t sulphur, or lisne. sulphur anr! u blue vitroi, mixed according t-u the sate board formula. j : "Beware of the man who say-v he has a spraying mixture jst as good, ur who say he can bore a hole ia tiie tret-, put in a little powder and the scale will be killed.
