RETALIATION,
"You caii lead a horse to wa
ter, but you can't make him
drink," is an old saying.. From
present conditions it seems to
appiy to railroad companies. For
years the people of various sec
tions of the country complained
bitterly of the practices of the
railroad companies and finally
the general outcry became so
great that the federal govern
ment established a commission to
rt-yuiate so nearly as possible the
rates of transportation over the
various lines.
As should have been expected,
the railroad companies combatted
the formation of this commis
sion. But it went into effect
just the same. Next we learn
from the railroad companies that
the conditions imposed upon them
rendered it almost impossible for
them to borrow money, if nec
essary, for extension of their
lines or any improvement of
their system which they might
desire to make. Probably there
was some truth in this state
ment. The general sentiment of the
public againsr. the railroad com
panies was the outgrowth of the
charge that they favored some
s uppers a., the expense of others
that theyciid not, in other words
treat all alike. One man's
money is ;ts yood as another';
and the public took a firm stand
against the system of rebates
Passes were also looked upon as
practices of bribery, pure and
simple. So much for the general
public side of the question.
Th 3 railroad companies main
taine t their right to conduct
their business as occasion might
require. They contended that
their method of business was the
only proper way and was the out
growth of years' of experience in
their especial line- However, in
spite of all they could do the rail
roa-i commission came into exist
ance.
Wow, as the result of the pass
age of certain and sundry laws
throughout the land we find the
ra lroad companies resorting to
drastic measures and the temper
in evidence indicates retaliation
on the public rather than any
thing else. On certain lines
there is an indisation of cutting
down and trimming closely every
item of expense. There also is a
policy against extension of lines
where the company is not com
pelled for business reasons to
make such extension. This pol
icy will work a hardship on a
large laboring class who follow
ed railroading for a living. It
will, likewise, prove detrimental
to the interests of such countries
as are yet to be developed and
require railroads to assist in the
work. In fact, it is within the
power of the railroad companies
t o retard the development of new
countries.
For the general good there
must be regulation of all business
thre must be law. The right
law is the one respected by all
better classes of citizens. The
contention is not made that the
present laws are not fair, but the
prediction is made that the time
will come when we shall have in
effect laws for the regulation of
our transportation companies
which .shall prove satisfactory
lor all.
Held Special Meeting.
At the college Friday afternoon
a called meeting was held by the
board of regents of the Agricul
tural college. Those absent were
Olwell, Pierce and Benson, and
ose present included Governor
Chamberlain, Austin T. Buxton,
master of the state and Mrs. Clara
B. Waldo, lecturer.
The meeting was devoted to a
di -cussion of the merits of the
various applicants for the posi
tion of president of OAC, of
whom there are eight, principally j
from the East.
According to reports there is a
seMimeot against Eugene dupli
cating a part of the work done at
OAC The claim is' that the
Eugene school is duplicating the
S ate Agricultural College in
mining and electrical engineer
ing and mechanics generally, and
while the government pays for
the maintenance of these depart
ments at OAC, the state has to
foot the biil for tbem at U. of O.
E. E. Wilson was elected sec
retary of the board. The time
of meeting was ' considerably de
lived on account ot the cave in
of tunnel No. 3 on the C. and
E-, which caused ' the Albany
train to be three or four hours
late. Another meeting is to be
held by the bord M-iv 2nd.
REFUSE TO PLAY OAC.
Dallas Basketball Men Prefer to
Be Excused.
Manager McCaiiister has re
cently publistied in the Portland
Journal a challenge to the Dallas
basketball team to meet the OAC
champions in a series of three
games, should the third be nec
essary to determine the merits of
the two teams. The challenge
was a broad one and exception
ally fair from every standpoint,
but n article in the Polk Coun
ty Observer Friday contains the
information that the Dallas men
ire not looking for an opportun
ity to aieet the OAC '"skeeters."
The Observer says:
Admirers of basketball who
lave teen looking forward to a
;ame between the Dallas and
Oregon Agricultural teams will
ie doomed to disappointment. It
s now definitely certain that
tere will be no games between
he two teams this season. The
efusal or neglect of the Corvallis
team to join the state league last
t ill and the crippled condition of
he Da las five at the present
rune are given as the reasons for
Dallas' refusal to tecogaize the
challenge from tbe OAC team
'"We will not accept the chal
!tnre of the Corvallis plavers,
said Captain Liuner of the Dallas
.win yesterday, "for the reason
that the bisket ball season is al
most ended and the Dallas team
is on the eve of disbanding. Mor
ton, one of our strongest men,
has already left school, and the
remaining members of the team
are nearly all suffering from 111
jiirir's received during a winter's
hard playing. It would be un
uit to play such a team against
he boys from the Agricultural
college, who have had an easy
ime of it all winter. If Corval
"s desires to meet Dallas, let
them come into the state league
next year and show their will
ingness to fight for the state
championship through the per
centage of games won and lost
the only fair way to decide a
championship. Dallas will play
its final game with Multnomah
on Saturdiy night and then dis
band for the season."
D tllas college has already play
ed 11 games in the league series
and has won ten of them by large
scores. A tour ot the whole Mid
dle West . next , year is contem
plated by the team, when some
of the best college and association
teams would be met and played.
It is thought that on such a tour
the local players would make the
name of Dallas college famous in
basketball throughout the United
States.

Stole a Gun.
Since the details of the theft
of Henry Leibner's team of hor
ses were written up for publica
tion, the information has been
obtained that probably the same
thief stole a pew rifle and two
boxes of cartridges from William
Warner, Friday.
Mr. Wagner keeps "batch" on
a place belongina to Mrs. James
McBee, four miles south of "Cor
vallis and adjoining the Off Wil
son place, the house occupied
by Mr. Wagner is ' a mile and a
half west of the Wilson home and
stands back quite a distance from
the main road.
A stranger appeared at Mr.
Wagner's Friday morning about
ten o'clock and asked for break
fast, which was given him. In
reply to questions the traveler
stated that he hailed from down
near Portland and ; was going out
to the "mills" to try for" a posi
tion. After his departure Mr. Wag
ner went to the field to work,
giving no' further thought to the
matter. A little later, however,
Mr. Wagner saw the same stran
ger return up the road and pass
the house, but he did not notice
whether the Stranger approached
the dwelling or not although he
could easily have done so unob
served. Saturday morning Mr.
Wagner happened , to glance at
his gun rack on the wall and dis
covered that a new rifle that he
had seen there the day before
was gone, and further search
showed that two boxes of cart
ridges were also gone.
The stranger was large and
dark complexioned,
heavy brown beard
tache. ,
Thursday a tramp
the Henry Leibner
asked for dinner but
wearing a
and mus-
stopped at
home and
was re f us-
ed. A telephone message to Mr.
Leibner yesterday morning elic
ited the information that this
tramp was "big and dark com
plexioned and had big whiskers
all over his face and also wore a
mustache."
The idenity of the tramp and
the man who stole the gun thus
appears to be the same. The
further fact that Mr. Wagner
resides near the place where the
stolen horses were found lends
weight to the belief that the
dark whiskered stranger is the
guilty party.
Additional Local.
The ''Barnacles'' enjoyed another danc
ing party Saturday night. It :s doubtful
if any crowd in town has more enjoyable
times than this organization.
An Oak Grove co-respondent says:
"Fruit Inspector French was down in this
part Thursday looking after
neglected
orchards and to see that they are pr per-
ly looked after and sprayed. He says
that hi ia no respecter of persons and
every owner of an orchard, whether it be
large or small, shall have a square deal,
bat it is necessary for him to see that the
law is enforced and have the old orchards
leaned up or destroyed. He compli
mented the Oak Grove people by saying
that they were farther ahead with their
work and had their orchards in better
shape than any part of the country that
he had visited. He left Friday morning
for Wells to encourage those ia that part
of the couoty.
Charles Wilkins, steward on the
steamer Pomona, had a trial before Jus
tice Hols;ate and was sentenced to pay a
$50 fine for eelling liquor in violation of
the law. He will appeal the case, it was
reported, to the circuit court. Full par
ticulars could not be obtained up to the
Gazette press hour. 1

'. The Knock-out Blow; r
The Mow which knocked out Corbet
was a revelition to the prize fighters.
From the earliest days of the ring the
knockout blow was aimed for the jaw,
the temple or the j ugular vein. Stomach
punches Vera thrown in to worry and
weary the fighter, but if a scientific man
had told one of the old fighters that the
most vulnerable spot was the region of
the stomach, he'd have laughed at him
for an ignoramus. Dr. Pierce is bringing
hoyifi to the public a parallel fact; that
