Those who have watched pro ceedings in the San Francisco courts during great graft trials in course at present must have been impressed with the fact that one of the most discourag ing tasks confronting the court was the selection of a jury. Turn to Boise, Idahoi where Moyer is on trial for complicity in the murder of ex-Governor Steun enberg, and the same obstacles are encountered. Trials are delayed at great ex pense time and 'money both seem wasted in some instances. In examining a man for a juror it is almost invaribly the rule to ask if he has read the newspa p jrs; if he has formed any opin ion of the case; if he is prejudic ed, any many other similar questions. The main qualifica tion desired appears to be found in a man who knows absolutely nothing of the case, or one who has formed no opinion from any thing which he may have heard. Some of these questions are all right. If a man is so set in his opinion that said opinion could not be changed by evidence it is plain that he is not a fit ju ror and he should be dismissed. But in this day and age of the world it seems the height of folly to seek a man who knows nothing of what is going on s own community, or has ? 'ormed any sort of opinion what he may have heard or ied. The man who does not read the newspapers is not likely to have mind enough to distinguish between right and wrong, consequently he would not be well equiped to adminis ter justice. If a man is broad-minded enough to serve as a juryman he must naturally be a reader, and if a reader must have know ledge of what is transpiring about him. He is likely to form opinions from what he reads, but they need not be fixed ones. It seems that it were wiser to cease searching for men who knew nothing of the case to be tried, or anything else for that matter, and strive to find broad guage and honest men for jury service. Justice seems more likely to be served at the hands ofjthe latter than if trusted to the deliberations of a man who never formed an opinion. The Rose Fair.

The strong bunch of athletes-!. from thjiKHill Military Academy I1 of" Portland won the eup -at, tpe first animal .jiiberschblastic tnfck meet held under tne ausjKces'ef the student body 6f , the Oregon Agricultural College" Saturday afternoon. - Mays, the star athlete of the same team, won the. individual medal, having a total of 20 points to his credit. ' Kellog of Baker City- and Jay of Pendleton were other parti cular stars of the day. Both of these men won three first events. The meet was close and spirited ly contested throughout. Baker City, with two men, Portland High with their team of point winners, combined with the champion Pendleton team, made matters interesting for their ri vals until the last. The track meet was a decided success in every respect. A large crowd witnessed the contest, and a banner of each high school was waving on the field. The best of feeling pre vailed throughout, and enthu siasm ran high as the juniors made records that would have been creditable to collegiate athletes. Jay, in the high jump, proba bly has no equal in Oregon. In the pole vault he is also above the average athlete. His work was the most spectacular of the day. The meet went far above the expectation in point of sue cess, to the local managers, and all of the schools will send repre sentatives to a similar meet held here next year.

The spectacle of a young colt chasing a railroad train four blocks, at breakneck speed, att-acted coneid erable attention on Ninth street, Saturday afternoon. Tbe race began near the Floya Lane home and ended when the train palled in at the C. & E. depot. How the colt became separated from its mother or why it was so certain that it could out run the train was not apparent to tbe amused spectators who watched the race, but from the way the little creature tore a'ong beside the track it will certainly turn out to be a swift horse when it reaches racing age.

Hiram Gould of Forest Grove, en routa to his home after he had delivered a Memorial address in Linn county, visited his son, Clifford, and family in this city, Saturday. Rumor says that a popular Corvallis teactier and a Southern Oregon man are to unite their fortunes on the I9th, but the matter is to be kept a dark, dark secret for a while. Now, don't you tell ! Delegates from the Epworth League of the a. E. cbnrch left Friday for Wood burn to attend the. state convention. Ti:e local delegates are : Fred Luce, presi dent; Clyde Starr, Bertha Edwards and Bessie Herbert. The members of the agricultural class at OAC, numbering about 50, left yester day for the W. M. Ladd farm near Port lane, to inspect the stock and get a practical idea of what a first class stock ranch is like. The expanses of their trip will, it is said, be borne by Mr. iadd, at whose invitation the boys make the trip. Martin Johnson of Hammond, a town near Astoria, was a Corvallis visitor, Sat urday. He had bean coastward looking after railroad land. Miss Linnie Small, a well known OAC graduate, is teaching school at Hammond, and sent regards by Mr. Johnson to old friends in this city. Mr. and Mrs. S. M. Bates, who reside on the old Harrington place west of this city, celebrated their golden wedding last Monday. Two sons from abroad, Rev. W. M. Bates of Seattle and B. L. Bates of Laconner, Wash., were present, besides Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Bates of this city. Many friends wish the worthy couple many more happy returns of their wedding anniversary. As they tnrned from Crystal Lake cemetery, Thursday afternoon, to retrace their stepB to town, the OAC cadets were baited by companies and treated to lemonade, near Fischer's mill. The treat was a surprise and was certainly appreciated by the tired, dusty boys, as the day was very warm. Miles Starr, the well known candy man, prepared tht lemonade and sent it over on one of the drays, and be bas the thanks of the ca dets, one and all. H. L. (Vinkley, pro prietor of the "Palace of Sweets," gave the boys a second treat when they reach ed town, and the band rendered several fine selections during the stop on Main i street. - - - 8 - .
