In county official circles there has been for some little time more or less friction over the matter of typewriters for offi cials and the feeling on the part of the jfficials has been that it was the duty of the county to provide a machine for use in the various offices. This the county court was reluctant to do. ; Recently, however, the court has purchased machines for use by certain of the officials and the . j . i. oiners now aemanu typewriters, j . " ' tOO I Without going into details lirgelyit would appear that if one office needed a machine others were entitled to them As regards the matter of the of ficial paying for his own ma chine this is all very well, pro vided all officers are on the a ne plane. To sele t one offi cial and say he shall ba given a typewriter and to another decree thot if he needs one in the con duct of his office affairs he shall pay for it from his individual purse seems hardly the fair thing. In allowing the sheriff and school superintendent each a typewriter the county court would be establishing no pre cedent in the state, as in many other counties this is dons. In both of these offices there is great need of these machines. The salary of a county school superintendent in Oregon is ridi culously small and it looks as though our legislators have not had a very fine sense of the value and importance of educa tional matters or th-'v would not have placed the office on the same basis as a city poundmas ter. All officials should be treated alike regardless of their salaries and we hope this matter may be amicably adjusted by the county court so that there may no longer be contention in the air on the court house square. FEAR SOT INVASION. A friend recently handed us a copy of The Cablenews, publish ed in Manila, P. I. It is a very late paper, being dated Febru ary 23, and gives the latest local news for the Philippines. From the tone of an article in The Cablenews it appears that the residents of the islands have no fear of immediate invasion by Japanese. The statement is made that Japan is endowedw ith a large jingo party who are eternally shouting war and who are hard to control. The facts, as given in The Cablenews, are that the statesmen of Japan are a level headed set who are thoroughly conversant with all phases of their relationship to the United States and are not for one mo ment in favor of bringing on a war. Japan's war debt is our great est safeguard, as no nation will back her with funds to war against us. If she wants to fight the United States she must bide her time and economize un til she is out of debt and has a bank account of her own, will require many years. This Headxuarters Changed. Announcement was made Fri day in Albany from the head quarters of the C. & E. R. R. that hereafter the entire business of the road would be managed from the head office in that city. The general freight and passen ger department which has been located in Astoria, jointly with the Astoria & Columbia River road, will now have headquarters in Albany and both departments will be under the management of I IG. F Nt-vin -. who will act as gen-Tal freight and passenger jyftn: s well as auditor. j Mr NeviDS fi Is the position I left vacant bv the resignation of iG-ner-! Freight and Passenger Asjen J. C. MUvo nd Auditor F. D. Kuettaer. The resigna tion ot these two men will be come effrctive on. April first,' at wnico time Mr. "Levi us will as sume the positions. Both Mr. Mayo and Mr. K- ettner will re main with the new management of the A. & C. ro-d, -which was sold tojanses J. Hill a tew weeks ago. The locating of the entire gen -ral office of the C. & E. road in Albany will in all probability mean that a number of the em ployes formerly in Astoria will come to that city. Value of Fruit. A new way foi postponing old age is to eat plen'y of fresh fru: . In Oregon, where the best 01 . - - . fruit grows and the prettiest of 1- j 1 ., WUUICU 1IVC LUCIC UCCU Lc uv- "ugly" old ladies, . apparently, according to the following: Fruit contains every essential of nutriment watery matter saccharine. oleaginous matter, albumen and salmes. There is o ourer water than that distilled from dew and stored in the mi ijute tanks of au apple or pear. Watermelons contain 95 per cent f water, blackberries and cur rants about 85, plums and peaches 83, grapes and cherrie 79, cbesnuts 14. Because it contains so much water, fruit is a piactical cure for drunkenness drunkard fed on fruit will in actively lose his craving for irink. It may be promulgated that contrary to other heat fac- 'ors, the saccharine of fruit does not exhaust the human body, consequently does not injure the complexion or cause wrinkles i he most important agents lor postponing old age, oils and fats, are not lacking iu fru'ts. What Is a Freight Car? A Northwestern lumberman, referring to the car shortage, in quired perimeutiy, "What is a freight car?" the inference being tha. he bad not recently seen one. The office repeated the in quiry and recti ved the following contributed information: 'The freight car belongs to che fowl family During the spring and early summer it can De found iu nearly every part of ;he country, its -iavorite haunts being near railroad tracks, and it is easy to capture. In autumn, ho vever, like certain other fowls. ;t goes into hibernation or flies away into other climes. Scat tered incidents are known whet specimens are captured during tne winter m mths A lasso or a wen greasea switch crew is sometimes used in snaring freight car, but main strength is the best weapon. "In any case, the hunter must be very wary, as an noise like the fluttering of a way bill will make the quarry disappear, Some railways own large flocks of domesticated freight cars, but they are closely guarded during the closea season. The wild freight car when caueht and fair ly leaded up becomes perfectly stationary." Ex. Happens In Junt- The Gazette is in receipt of a circular letter from the head quarters association of the veter acs of the First Oregon Cavalry and First Oregon Infantry volun teers.

Bright Outlook. Every nigh, out at the college a bunch of men may be seen at hard practice tor the track , events which are now the order" "of ; the day. If O AC does not put out a splendid track team this year it will be because present prospects ire deceptive, for there; is. every reason . to - predict a jgood sqaad to defend She orange fbi's spring. The men practice on a saw dust track and are getting in splendid trim. DaVolt, who already - holds eight gold medals as proof of his ability, Greenhaw, the ve eran half-mile man, and Cross and Brown, promising new men from the Freshmen class, . will look after d'starjees. Hall, who made a good record last year, and Wolfe and Bennett of the ootball squad are doing good work in the weights. Sbroeder. L:ep, Loonev. West and Bergman are showing up well in the sprints and promise to make good, while Chapman and Bower will make records in the high jump. Spires and Brodie are running the hurdles and Swann and Reed will no doubt enter the pole vault events. OAC shouln be heard from this season in track contests and that the boys will have the hearty support and backing of the entire college, and towns people as well, goes without say ing.
