To toe Editor of the Leader:
I desire to extend to you my right
hand of fellowship in token of my pro
found admiration, and of the good
will of the people of Harney Valley
toward you for the brave, diguified
and persistent manner in which you
have conducted the state rlaim to the
absolute control of the Agricultural
College. The state of
Oregon
cer-
tainly should have exclusive control of
her own institution. This has been
my idea at all times, even while I was

churches run their own school and
if they are too weak for that purpose,
then they had better let schooling alone.

I am pained at my heart to hear the
ugly names flung at the M. E. Church,
South, by the different newspapers of
our state, based as they are, on the
action or a tew men wno maiung ior
themselves an unenviable reputation.
I hold credentials from- that church;
I dedicated my children to God at the

He thought it would be partiality to '
give Harney Valley that kind of a send
off. So we ate rather left on this line
at present. If any of your readers
want to sit around and wait until this
country is all taken up and all the in- .
stitutious of our civilization are estab
lished,without enduring the privations
of pioneers, my advice to them, is to ;
stay where they are, and in a few
years they will wake up some beautiful
morning and discover bow they missed

Most Hideous Industry in America.
The most bideoua industry in this
country is a enake farm near Galton,
III. The proprietor raises snakes of
various kinds, bmtnakes a sjieciality
of rattlesnakes. A firm in Philadel-
phia has given a standing order for all
the rattlesnakes the farm can producs.
They are worth $2.25 each when they
attain a length of four feet. These
pnakes are bought to be stewed into an
oil which if advertised to cure rheuma
tism. Christian Advocate (Nashville.)
Why, Dr. Fitzgerald ! You, or
your associate, must have been napping
when that article was penned. We can
assure you the whisky is the most hid
eous industry, by all odds, in this land. ,
It can manufacture more snakes in a
man's boots in one day than were ever
raised on that farm in a wholo year.
It bites and kills more men in a single
year than were ever bitten 1y rattle
snakes in a whole century. As for its
medicinal virtues, jf we are to believe
those engaged in the industry, it
eclipses rattlesnake oil ninety-nine per
cent That is good only for rheuma
tism, while whisky is good for nearly
every ill to which flesh is heir. It
heats yon in winter and cools you in
summer; it puts you to sleep at one
time, and arouses and stimulates you
when you-aie dull and drowsy; a cer
tain quantity puts the devil in, your
head, murder in your heart, and metal
in your fists and feet. Repeat the dose, .
and it trips you up and makes you as
helpless as a child. .As a poison it
can take the blue ribbon from the rat
tlesnake at any county fair. As proof,
if a rattlesnake bites you, jost take a
pint of this "blue ruin," and it kills
the rattlesnake poison bo dead you
never feel it3 effects again. Hence, it
is the king of poisons, and the most
hideous industry in our land. Vo ytra
give it up, Doctor? Western Recorder
