SELECTING JURORs
It seems that one of the great
est difficulties, if not the great
est, encountered by the courts
of today lies in the selection of
what is considered a fit juror.
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.

HILL MILITARY WON.
Bis Interscholastic Track Meet
Was Great Success.
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. Summary

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.

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

by Mr. Johnson to old friends in this

besides Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Bates of this

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

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

fine selections during the stop on Main i
