New Haven, Conn., .March 30. It is announced that about $50,000 already has been raised for the new professorship of lumbering in the Yale forestry school out of tho $i5o, 000 which is eoDght as an endow, ment. Forty-four thousand dollars has been raised in i t western states and Co contributors, representing in the main corporations and .firms, and to some exteut individuals. It is also stated that enough more con taibutions have been raised on the Pacific Slope to carry the amount to about $So,ooo. Ex. This is a fact that the fanners and struggling home-owners of Oregon should rellect upon. During the eighteen years that lion. John II. Aitkin has been at the head of two of the largest commercial institu tions of Oregon and hundreds of thousands of dollars have passed through his hands, he has never yet foreclosed a mortgage. His 1 bank has advanced money to needy settlers, and the company of which ho is president has given them lib eral credit until they could improve their little ranches and get solidly on their feet. Many of them have been delinquent in their payments of interest and principal; many failed to meet their billsj long after they were due. But to the lasting credit of Mr. Aitkin it can be said that he has never foreclosed a mortgage nor forced a man into bankruptcy. This is a prtty good, record when it be comes a question of voting for such a man for an important state office. Mr. Aitkin is now a candidate be fore the republican primaries for the important offi ce of Treasurer of Orejou, The struggling farmer tdaould caretully consider if it is not a good, plan to trust with high public office one who has always provon so loyal mid faithful to his own neighbors. ; , "W, A.

At tho meeting on Monday night James Iiemenway was reinstated as a member of the Club after a num ber of moutha absence from the city. A letter was read from the Port laLd Ad Men stating that they were working to establish a call forgoodB with the label "Made in Oregon," and that they had secured the co operation of Portland merchants and that from May 19th to 26th, the windows of all the principal .stores in the down town district of Portland would be given over to exhibits of Oregon goods, and de sired to Lav representations of goods from this section. The matter was taken up and such a display will bomade, probably London min eral water being the chief article. A letter lrom the State Library Committee was read in reference to starting a circulating public library here, and offered to furnish Co j books evtry six months for fire years for $oO. the club or citizens to pay the eipress each way from Sa lem on each shipment. This worked up quite a discussion. T. K. Campbell thought it absurd to start a library for Cottage Grove with Go volumes only. He offered to be one of a number to pay a certain sum yearly for the purchase of a library, and to start out with enough books to be of some value. The chairman appointed Mr Campbell, V. C. London and II. O. Thompson a committee to look in to the matter and to report to the club. The club subscribed to a monthly magaziue "The Greater West" as payment for a card of the club to be printed among Oregon Commercial Clubs. The Old Oregon Tra.ll G. F. Kitchey, who is fixing up his places here, and preparing an other house to rent, is greatly in terested in the project to fitly com memorate the pioneer pilgrims whose trials and privatione were the making of Oregon. He brought to us an article from a Pendleton paper tellinsr of the arrival there of Ezra Meeker, with his yoke of oxen whose intention is to stop at each town along the Trail aud through Oregon, imbueing the people with his idea of perpetuating the mem ory of the old Oregon trail by a series of monuments along the trail. He is givin? illustrated lec tures, telling of the old days and the stirring times that the pioneers all went through. The paper sayB of him: "The pilgrim is a character, full of inter est and overflowing with enthusi asm for the task he has himself to do. His hair is white to be sure, his face is wrinkled, and his shoul. ders have lost Borne of the square U38S which was theirs, but the blue eye is as bright and voice as firm and the step as brisk as though the enow of many winters had not tried to chill the blood and make slug gish the steps of the old man. I.OVAI, To WEST Loyalty to the west and loyalty to the memories of the men who made Oregon, have prompted the long journey which Mr. Meeker will make before he stops late in the simimer in Indianapolis, from which, place he started west more than half a century ago. He wishes to plant wherever he may be able, monuments to mark the fast vanish ing trail of the pioneers. He has done this in several places and will leave behind him a string of such mile-tones as he journeys towards the east. But it is not loyalty to the trail alone that has prompted this long and trying journey, MARRIED IN '5t In 185 1, fifty-six years age next spring, Mr. Meeker, then a young man, married a beautiful young girl iu Indianupolis, Ind. The next year the two young people be gan a long journey into a wilder ness filled with unknown savages and magnified dangers, two brave hearted people who were destined to aid in laying the cornerstone of the western empire. More than half a century ha as;. 1 since that time and if Mr. Meeker" pl.ms arc fruitful, on the ootii anniversary of his marriafjo ho wi'l meet Mrs. Meeker in Indianapolis for ho cele bration of their union. And so it is not all on account of the hi.storiu need of the journey thai the pio neer is making the trip, it i that he may be aLlo to live ovor aain, behind his laboring oxen tho happy time of his bridal trip. Special Washington Corrospondenco The ablest debates heard in tho United States senate for years aro being credited to tho members of the current body while tre itiu? tho railway rate-regulation measure. There is an absence of partisan rancor and intensity marking other discussions, but the leal and eco nomical resoarch indicated by somo of the speeches, tho attention given by the entiro membersnip, and the seriousness with which the senators I are struggling, impress Washington as no other lejrishtivo kccus of re cent times. Little if any doubt re mains that a rate-regulation meas ure will be enacted Ly tho senate, to which the house will areu, but the local interest does not abate. Many &p;ecbes delivered are thought to have an ultimate cam paign destination, but in this an alysis there u much confusion. A limited number of the republican senators are against any rate regu lation by the Government, tho brilliant exponent cfthiy doctrine being Senator Foraksr, who be lieved when he gave utterances to his convictions recently that he dug his political grave. Another and larger contingent of tho republican senate desires regulation, with posi tive and clear court-review pro visions. The third element of the republican side, led by Dolliver and Clapp, want regulation, with no court-review provision whatever, leaving adjudication of rights aris ing under tho law to faH where it may. Democrats are clearly di vided, but a strong majority favors the positive review prov'sioa. All democrats incline toward further legislation. Tillman, in charge of the bill wants a limited review. It would seem difficult to make party capital out of whatevcris done by the senate in regard to this measure. A majority of both sides want something done. Credit for the final result will be shared by both. Kven some of tha most ar dent regulatiouis-s would prefer to have action deferred for a longer time, that the great pubject might be. brought forth with more detail and in stronger light. Eat it seems assured beyond question that dif ference and the liner elements of content will be submerged, that some positive" legislation may go into effect soon, upon w hich and iu the light of its defects or perfec tions, amendatory work may be prosecuted with more assurance than is possible in the present titanic struggle. Although there is about $lo, 000,000 in the reclamation fund, and the annual increase is largo, all efforts so far for further govern ment work on new irrigation pro jects is without avail. Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock, iu this as in a multitute of other things western, absolutely declines to make any con cession to the urgent appeals of a multitude of districts. He ex presses I1I3 purposo of awaiting de velopments irotu some of the work undertaken, says the fund has been sufficiently reduced for tho present, and will not consider new projects. This and many other things hi the record of tho secretary 1ms jiven rise to the esteru spirit of opposition, and the hope that some time early this administration there will be a change. Western men ridicule the assumption of pairagon virtues aud watch-dog duty over Western lawlessness each time the secretary of tho interior is criticised. They think that this capital stock has been well exhausted, and the uation should see that tha West is not more lawless than any other section, if judged by tho same (stan dards. Home of the very things which have been seized upon for the proud vindication of tho secre tary's imperious rule, grew and de veloped under his regimo, and any credit due for prosecution could be no more than attaches to reforming one's own administration and cor recting things apparently dono with the connivauco of parts of tho piou avenger,
