Forth purpose of perfecting iltl
ti tbe Panama Caual wbsu dug, our
government negotiated a treaty wltb
Colombia which wu ratified by our
senate aud aot to Bogota fur that
governments ratification. Tbe treaty
ate matches, Tim objection above
or eutloned (a not condaed to foot ball
elevens' but includes the spring
meets where mooing, jumping ami
throwing hammers are tbe event.
Some of tbe Professors and ineny ot
the father are eompariog the buck
taw, aze ami ipade of 40 and 50 years
ago with the club method of exer
cise practiced by tbeir eon now in
college, greatly to the advantage of
tbe spade, axe aud buck saw method.
A leading official of ono of the '02
winning foot ball tea mi in a eou
veisatloo bad (hie week poluted out
some of the defecla that inhere to the
matches aa conducted Net year -ml
previously. Ha freely admitted thi
(he player suffered in scholarship
an i gave two reason for tbe fact.
On tbe western coast the college are
o far apart that more time ia required
than at Esstera college where there
ha lteen discussed by the Colon
plana for several week and came to ltre l0rt run8 md where the sed
a vote last Monday. It wa 0naiil-of railroad trulu U grreatr than tit-re.
monsly reected. Thi action will
ciuse the United Slate lo abandon
that route for an Interoceanic canal.
The bill that pasted our congress at
the last sesaioa peruiita selecting the
Nicaragua route, and unless President
11 Kwevelt elect! to open negotiation
for a new treaty, that will be where
the big ditch will be dug. And there
are those who will be better satisfied
with the northern route. Among
these ia the Oregon delegation In
Congress. Selfishly spejktng uregou
can get along without any caual.
We are keen for Oriental trade, and
if left alone we can have a very good
business with the nations of Asia,
but if brought luto comtltion wltb
the merchant of the south and east
through that canal, there i an ele
ment of doubt Injected Into the pro
blem Asia U our natural market
for the cereal. And If left undis
turbed wo can not only establish
' connection for selling breadstuff
and some other things besides,
t Friend of the canal urge that it
will promote competition with the
railroad and consequently regulate
freight tariffs. Tbls is doubted some
what. A . through late freio the
Atlantic to Asia has already beeu
made that s low, more reasonable
indeed that all ocean rates have been
till quite lately. Local rates, which
ruimt burden -us of the west would
not be effected.' These are touched
by competing lines of railroad. The
building railroad will not be
promoted by tbe canal, but rather
retared, wherefore to give relief to
intercontinental shippers, tbe dig
ging of the canal should not be coin
menced. There la a military side to the
canal controvesy commander main
tain that it is good strategy to quick
ly mass troops and warships at a
threatened point, and cite the many
day required for the Oregon to steam
from tbo Pacific to tbe Atlantic.
This true In general but there are
modifying conditions. We ought to
have kept the Oregon in the Pacific
tor In a war with a first class power
she would have been needed here.
We must bare a navy adequate for
the protection of our two coasts,
speedy massing of fleets Is to bave
thorn stationed at exposed place
rather than to end two weeks gelt
ing ships there through the canal.
While we are putting ships through
the enemy will be doing the same
for It ha already been stipulated that
the canal shall tie open at alt nation.
One good, well eqnlped railroad
across the continent is worth more
than a canal and two roads is a KM)
percent belter than one. When dur
ing the Chine! difficulty and It was
though that Pekln would bave to be
bombarded It was our seige guns at
Kort Leavenworth that were selected
for the work rather than German
guns. Ours could be loaded on cars
and whisked across the continent
while the others would have bad lo
come by the slower iSuezt'annal route.
Yea, it is well that Columbia rejected
tho treaty.
The other reason Is that trainers and
coaches are generally not school men,
though graduates and do not ins'st or
even encourage study by member il
a team when off on a junket. - Thi
official think it would be for Hit
success of the team to maintain atudy
hour when on a trip. For (lien the
mind of tbe player would be tsketi
from tbe worry of the game tiiat is
always wltb him. He think long
absence from college required bj.
interstate matches ought to be avoid
ed, or if taken, some order of study
should be formulated aud rigidly
followed while ou the trip. This
could be done only with difficulty,
but It would, if successful be a splen
did discipline.
Unless this is doau he thinks luter
stdte matches will have to be prohib
ited, and perhaps intercollegiate
games a well, when more than one
day 's required for the meet. He
applies these reasonings to debating
and oratorical matches as well as to
at h let io contests. In a nutshell the
trouble I tho breaking luto regular
study bouts and absence from the
recitation and lecture room. The
industrial occupations would not for
a moment permit such inleruplions,
nor should the colleges.

C0LI.KOE ATHLETICS.
The college' of Oregon, notably
Pacitlc University, Forest drove,
Agricultural College, Corvallls, and
State University, Eugene, are at
something of a loss to know what to
do in the matter of college athletics.
A meeting of the College Presidents
U to lie called for a data early in
September, when the subject will be
considered.
Uy comparison of class stauding,
the faculties find that tbe members
of the athletic team are 'lower than
i hey ought to be, and that many stu
dent who are leading member of
tbo teams have difficulty with their
enuiicallons. Home athletics are
not so much objected to as the long
junket trips to adjoining states
where the team is away from college
from four days to fourteen. Io the
very nature of thing studies are neg
lected on those trip and the student
falls behind. Young men sometimes
forget that time I a perishable com
modity and when once lost cannot
be replaced. Just what the preei.
dent will do has not been deter
mined or hinted, put they may Hod
it to be to the beet Interests of the
several colleges and of the students to
fortiid interstate contests. They may
go st II further and veto Inlercvllegl-
On Friday last tbe monotony of
camp life was vsrled by the cry"mai
washing out to sea and drowning."
There was a rush to the bluff over
looking the beach, from where a head
was seen above the water beyond the
further breaker. Tbe man was about
800 to 1000 feet from shore, and fai-t
losing strength. Afterwards it was
known that the man In peril was
llev. F, H. Adams, pastor -of the
Baptist church at McMinnville. A
rescue party was organizing. Our
man put on a life preserver others
secured a Hue and three started out.
There was not much peril for these
for the reason there was a shore end
of the rope, but the men found It
slow work going out. About that
time U. B. McCatnish of McMinn
ville, and, as a boy, well known in
Uillsboro, son of our Dave McCamisb
was told as he walked along the
beach, that Uie far nut man was un
able to reture 1 1 laud. Bun threw
hi coat, kicked of his shoes and
plunged in. He is youug, Mrongand
understands the serf, He soon came
up with others, took the end of the
line and passed on. This he put into
the hand of Adams, and told him to
lay on the top of the water. Having
delivered the roe to Adams, Mc
Camish struck out to save himself,
rtil he did. Hiinuei Dugger, an
Albany athlete then pulled Adams
to land where he received by his
wife and mother who had been
agon I ni n g spectator ot the struggle
of the dr owing man. No serious re
sults came to Adams who In the
evening was walking about camp
complacently receiving tbe congratu
lations of his lady acquaintance.
Adams is a well build, wirey man
of about 85 years of age. Ho is a
good swimmer in fresh water but no
much experienced in surf hathimr
He evidently had ambition to out do
hi fellow bathers and went too far
where tbe tide was turning. Dugger
states that to ono familiar with the
surf, there was littlo danger. At
such times a swimmer should float
on top of the water, and swim In
a roller, but Adams stood upright
and was swept outward by the under
current.
Adams ha bad earlier rescue ex
perience having been taken out of
(he water twice before in a drown
iug couditioo, and he seems to enjoy
tho seusation. But iu the incident
of 1-riday there was nothing heroic
except the rescue. Especially Is this
true in Die case of young McCaiuish
who independently swain Into tho
danger soue and gave the rope that
enabled the others to make the rescue
certain.
Ou Saturday at a public tu-eiing
of tbe visitors at the beach the fol
lowing preamble and resolution was
adopted.

-Tho most annoying thlugat'lh!

There was ono death in the catni
last Saturday night, that of Mrs. T,

out of tune and tho chill sea water

TIIKPOIXTUAIXED.
KlMTOK I.ndei-kndkkt;
Tim good book tells us not to cast
pearls before swine, "lent they tram
ple them under their feet, and turn
again and rend you." Whoever is
lesiro is of perusing the chspter and
the verse which, by the way, con
tains more than w.a have quoted that
is applicable to the present case will
tlnd It in the 7th chapter of Matthew,
lith verse. We give chapter and verse
because there are so many who know
the Police Oaeetto aud Tom Paine
better than they do their Bible, and
ftiat fact alone easily accounts for
sentiment both anarchical and out of
harmony with secular as well as
divine law. We are very glad to note
one thing, Mr. EJilor, and that Is,
we have got the thing now where we
have from the Uret up to the present
time strove to place it "outside the
color line, r.aioely, it is just as bad
for a white man a It is for a black
man." That is just our little srgu
uient exactly.
We have dealt with white men iu
the penitentiaries of our Western
states who were incaiceraled for
incest, tbeir own daughters being
their accusers. Of course decent
humanity loathes and abhors the
fiend be he white or black, who I so
lost to all decency as to become lower
than a brute, and that is why men
have framed laws which if right
fully administered, wilt punish the
wretch a he deserves. If those same
lawa do not iermit the culprit to be
hacked with knives, ekinued alive or
hewed with knives, it is because those
who framed them understood the
difference betwixt justice and equity,
and the code of aborigines.
During tbo time when thi crime
was puuishablo by deatb many men
went to tho gallows. Hanging Is
vety much like burning. It really
has not so many terror for the hard
ened criminal as solitary confinement
for life. Another thing in connection
wiul should be noted I that It
embrutc those who behold lhse
struggling clods of humanity swing.
Ing be twixt earth and sky, sent by
the Judgment of men up to (he Judg
ment of (od, and makes of them
murderers in beart, while the hang
man is forced by law to become a
murderer in deed.
If we nt little m-re of our!

ice rushing dowi upon us with

Yes, very drunk. Iu our evangelical
work we have been called largely lo
prisons, j-iils, etc., and nine out ol
tn of all those with whom we have
dealt committed the crime for which
they suffered under the influence of
strong drink.
No one but an idiot would advame
the idea that men or miimuls in the
shape of men, would commit the
unpardonable crime because, forsooth,
they would be permitted to hang or
burn in orner lo give some one the
chance lo weep over them. - If we
were going to snivii it would beover
he poor fool with a white skin who
did not know the difference between
civil and divine law and that law
nstignted by drunken mobs who, In
order to wreck venoeanco on their
fellows, put themselves upon a still
lower plane.
We respect the sheriff of our state,
whose daughter was the victim of a
white roan' lus', and yet who swore
n eevea deputies In order that the
msjMty of the law might lie upheld.
You see It is (lie difference betwixt

Capt. K. ii. Lamson, V. 8. Navy,
died at his residence io Portland on
Friday of last week aged 65 years'
Tbe deceased had been an invalid for
fifteen or more years, though he
worked up to twelve year ago.
During much ot this time (he jbysl
cal suffering was excruciating. Lam
son was an Oregonian coming west
with his father Jerry Lamson in
18)8. The elder Litnson at thst
early day settled on a msgniflccnt
section of land on the Willamlns, a
tributary of the rVu!h Yamhill above
Sheridan. Here tho Lamson lioys,
of whom I here were several, fi llowtd
the herds of cattle with which the
father stocked the farm and the hills
surrounding. Jerry Lamson was a
leader in hU county which ho repre
sented several lime in (he (erritorial
legislature. Itoswell wan studiously
inclined and attended school at the
Willamette University. 8-tleni, and
one year at Pacifla University, Forest
Grove, this county.
At the close nf this year, 1807, he
received the spHintment of naval
cadet st AnuspoJis. He entered this
celebrated school in 1853 and grudu
ated iu 1801, Just in time for the
grtat civil war through which be
served with great distinction. He
was the youngest officer, with r
haps one exception, of the navy who
commanded a ship during the war.
At thedoie of tint war he was on
staff duty In 1865 6 with the Europ
ean squadron. Capt. Lsmson was an
extierl with the riflj and whs
employed while In Kurop? by the
Turkish government to lett and
report on the best rill) with which lo
arm the Turkish army. About this
lime he became interested with a
private orMiration in (he manufac
ture of small, arms, whereupon be
ret jrned to Of- gon, and .was recog
nized by his home county, Yamhill,
where he was elected county clerk.
L mson was an affable man, per-
ormed the duties of bis office
promptly snd well, but hu was not a
politician. His training was that of
tho navy. He was not notninsted for
second term. Hi net work was
year in 1'acllli! University, Forest
Grove, in tho chair of mat hematics.
One who was a student there remem
bers bim !-s a careful, pninstaklng
instructor, In one dtsil exhibiting
something of the martinet. He by
precept and example cmphtia z"d
noatiici-s. In mathematical work he
frowned on slovenly-figures. Com-pactne-ss
and order whs his delight.
At the end of ibis year's work in the
college lie received the sppointment
of tbe IT. S. District Court, Judge
Doatly presiding. This place beheld
for 17 years until falling health made
it iiutxiHsihlo to work longer. Ilej
attempted to get reinstated in tbo;
Navy, but the ttct of- Congress was!
never passed, though favorably re
polled. During the Spanish war the
Captain chafed that ho was not inth 1
fray. Lamson was of the class of
Dewey, Sampson und Seh'ty and!
ahead of them. He felt that ho1
would I avb In en the great com !
mander had be stayed in the service i
His resignation was tho blunder of
hi"A'ife- ,. , i gall and See mv new Wheels
Asa Htudeut. Lampon was digni- r -
tied snd with bis work painstaking.
We who were at Forest (Jrovo in
IS5H heard much nt him and often
bad him quoted to us as an example
worihy of imitation. The same dig- J
nity rt iniiined with the man, there
was no veiiier, but oak through and
(h rough. It is related that during
the year be was l'rolessor of Mathe
matics at Eore-st Orovo when auto
graph albums were the rage, a stu
dent presented his album for a senti
ment and hi signature. The Cap
tain took it, and turning the leaves
he came to "Friendship is e-vi Hast
ing," He read and remarked "That
needs considerable iialiflca(ion.
Very many of the friendships formed
here nmong you young people will
be forgotten. In fsct- you will and
should form new friendships wherever
you go." explain Lsmsoti never
forgot his old associates, but he was
ever ready to receive and rccoguiae
strangers.
