RIVER IMPROVEMENT. If the president's trip down the Mississippi river makes him yet more earnest in supporting the improvement of our water ways by the national goverment it should be cause for general y congratulation. ' . When we have made our river? easy and safe for navigation we have measurably solved the prob lem of preventing exto -Lionate -trmsportation charges by the railroads and freed the carrying business of the country from the congested condition of traffic which now prevails and ever mjist prevail while we are main ly dependent on railways to tran- . port our products. That transportation by water is by far more desirable than bjr . any other means is a fact long since proved and generally ac ceded. It is to be preferred be cause it preserves competion and thus insures reasonable charges for service; it is preferable be cause it moves greater torinage within any given time than is possible by any other means, of transportation. j Not only should the navigation of our rivers receive greater at tention but the construction and operation of canals should be en couraged. Germany is now en gaged in the construction of canals with the purpose of giv ing her people cheap and reliable transportation for their products, A few such men as Governor Clinton, who gave New York the New York and Erie canal, would be a most desirable asset Just now. This canal, as all know, has been, is now and must long remain the most potent agency working for the development and prosperity of the. Empire fetate. The proposed construc tion of a ship canal from Lake Erie to the Ohio river will doubt less be consummated and will be of incalculable benefit not only to the lake region but to the val leys of tne Ohio and the Missis sippi. The general goverment has done much for internal naviga tion, and, it goes without saying, uselessly expended large sums of money in the work. It has done much work which has been of little or no practicable value; has undertaken work and after the expenditure of large sums has abandoned it because impractica ble, too expensive or not enough beneficial. The greatest waste, however, of material, labor and money has come through the intermittent . manner in which great works have been prosecuted. Instead of being continuously pushed along from inception tj comple tion, long and frequent periodsof cessation have intervened during which the elements have destroy ed much work already done. Oregon js not without costly examples of wastefulness occur ring through either of these con- ditions. The whole fault lies in our methods of legislation. The im provement of riversVuid harbors has long been a matter of bar gain and trade by members of congress. An appropriation for the improvement of the Ohio, for instance, needs the support, before it can be passed, of the representatives from ' Oregon. Their support can be obtained only by making the bill carry an appropriation fbr the Long Tom. By this means the aggre gate appropriation is swollen to a large sum and the most bene ficial and meritorious work is hindered and crippled by inadequate support. The appro priation made for such work is soon exhausted" and operations oded until, by an- r' "you tickle me t , " ' .1 , I makes, another appropriation Thi-, difficulty is disappearing ' undef r,h' tacit understanding "thsi no 7r't ff 'the kind shall ! r c.,5ve an appropriation until it ;r cave an appropriation i has been favorably reportedTipon I by a board of U. S- Engineers, , Strong influence is now put forth 1 o induce congress to make continuous appropriations so that when a work is once begun it will ba carried on without suspen sion until completed. When this is done we shall be conducting our public works more .sensibly and efficiently than we have ever done, and consequently we shall accomplish vastly more. OPEN MARKETS. The producer complains he does not receive what he should 1 for his products, the consumer as earnestly avows he pays more than he should for what he con sumes. These complaints usually are based on truth. The producer is justly entitled to receive for his products what they bring on sale in open market; the consum er should be compelled to pay no more for any thing he buys than what the article is worth on sale in opeij market. An open market, therefore, where the price of commodities is determined by the economic law of supply and demand is for the best interests of both producer and consumer. There are two things essential to an open market: There must be ho intervention of a third party between the producer and the consumer; the producer must be able to get his products to market quickly, safely and cheap ly. Where these conditions do not obtain there can not be a free, fair and open market governed only by supply and demand. . If third parties come between the producer and the consumer, whether as agents, commission merchants' or outright purchasers on their own account, they mast be paid fop their services, or, if speculators, they force artificial and obstructive conditions upon the business of buying and sell ing to the manifest detriment of sale and purchase in fair and open market- If theproducer cannot get his products to market easily "and cheaply he is compelled to keep them at home or the consumer is forced to pay a high' price for his purchases without any resulting benefit to the producer. The remedies for these un toward conditions are: First, the producer must, as far as pos sible, avoid middle-men by what ever name they may be known and deal directly with the man wbo purchases for his own con sumption. Second: Both pro ducer and consumer must insist on having good roads, open and navigable rivers, and reasonable freight rates by rail. Since all the people are includ ed in the classes, producers or con sumers, it is apparent that those things creating and maintaining an open market is of vital interest to every one, except to the sel fish, mischievous few who seek to enrich themselves by exploit ing the necessities of their fellow men. The Opening Day. The total registration at the 4-Oregon Agricultural College Mon day night was 71,8, against 417 at the close of the first day last year.' When chapel exercises were begun Tuesday morning, hundreds of students stood out side, unabhr to gain access to the room. A feature of. the exercises was a vocal solo by Miss Lulu Spangler. There is every reason to beljieve that the present year will be a record-breaker in the history of OAC and the prospects were never so bright. It has been rumored during the week that some students had returned to their homes because of their inability to secure rooms, but inquiry elicited the fact that m ot-hc-;- the Y. M. C. A. . secretary still .had rooms on his 1-st and couJd have accommodated numerous students with quarters had they applied at the 'Y" headquarters, as so otten instructed to do. -' Tbe town is alive with students now and thers will " coeticne to come for a week or two. A iaTge per cent of new faces are notice able, although tnaov familiar voices are-heard in thy babble of tongues oh the street and in pub lic places where students congre gate. ; Study began in earnest Tues day morninvrr and old and new are all settled down to a winter of hard work Change of Pastors. At tbe. annual conference of the M. B. cuurch beginning in Portland last week an-1 conclud ing Monday evening, Dr. G. H. Feese of this city was appointed a conference evangelistic. This means that he will hold no regu lar pastorate but will become an evangelist . for the denominadon. Dr. Feese has been tor three years the faithful and energetic pastor of the M. E. churck of Corvallis and the church has grown in numbers and has been enlarged and improved during nis pastorate. He will take with him into his new field of labor the best wishes and the warm friend ship of a large circle of friends in this city. His amiable wife will also be greatly missed, as she has endeared herself to all by her womanly ways and the1 gentle courtesy always manifested 10- wardsthoss with whom she has been associated. Rev. D. H. Leech of Wood burn has been appointed to fill the local pastorate and will arrive soon, to take up his residence in this city. A Most Worthy "Article. When an article has been on the m r- ket for years and gains friends every year, it is safo to call this medic ine a worthv one. Snch is4 Ballar'lV Hore hound SvrnD. It Doeitiveiv cures conahs aad all Pulmonaryulispases. One of the known merchants in Mobile, Ala., says: For five years my familv has not been troubled with the winter coughs. We owe this to Ballard's Horehound Syrup. I know it has saved my children from many sick spells." Sold by Graham & Wortham. A Base The People's Curing a Stalf Kicker. ' A horse that a bam kicker can be cured of the fiabit, says a writer in Breeder's Gazette. Fill an ordinary two bushel bag with hay or straw, well packed. Suspend this from stable loft by rope or cord, so that' it will hang' near, the side of stall, about the place where the horse hits the stall when he kicks. When the horse kicks the bag. It will swing back and thump him. If the horse- kicks on both sides, hang a bag on oc?h side. I do not know that this will cure a horse from kicking in a box stall, but it will surely cure him In a staU where he is tied, and it la better to keep him tied than to let htm bruise his legs. .-.
