While the Oregon Agricultural Col lege has an enrollment larger than any other college in Oregon or Wash ing too and only exoeeded by Stan ford University and the State Univer sity of the California colleges and it is a splendid success in mauy ways. yet it falls far short of being an og riooltnral ootlege, for too mncb of its work has no bearing whatever on the science of agriculture. The depart ment known as the experiment sta tion, is all that Ib really doing work that is effective in advancing the argioultnrul interests of Oregon. This department has Dr. James Withy combe at the head of it. The Doctor Is a practical farmer and not a theo retical college man and the splendid work in agricultural research and demonstration that he and bis stall of instructors are doing is having a most helpful iufluence in raising the standard of agriculture in Oregon and making it a iroBtable vocation to the farmers instead of merely a means of gaining bare living as has been too muoh the case with the average Oregon farmer. On the need of a change in the methods of conducting the State Agri cultural . College the Roral Spirit o! Portland, has the following sensible argument: "The announcement of Dr. Tlios. M. Gatch, president of the Oregon Agricultural College, that it is his in tention to retire at the end of the com ing year brings Dp afresh the subject of the sphere of an agricultural ool lege. After 10 years of splendid ser vice at the bead of this Inst i tot Ion Dr. Gatch retires with the good will and hearty sympathy of the whole faculty, who at their last meeting adopted resolutions expressing this fact in words highly complimentary to the aged, but able educator, and it Is with the same feeling of defer ence and respect for ' his splendid ser vice and ability that we say that bis resignation is coming none too soon for the good of the institution. A few more might be accepted on the same hypothesis. In fact a general reorganization might be effected to the ultimate good of the agricultural interests of our great state which we think are entitled to an agricultural college in fact as well as in name. President Gatch is an able educator. but he is not an agriculturist makes no pretension of being one his tastes aud interest run in other lines and with such a man at the head of the institution and with others of similar inclinations filling most of the ohairs is it to be wondered at that the agri- co tnral department is the weakest of all the departments maintained in the school? Is it any wonder that the boys who enter that department are dubbed as 'Rubes' and 'Hayseeds' and on account of that influence are often deterred from takiug an agricul tural course and sometimes influenced to change to some other after they have chosen it? Agricuiural college forsooth? Either the usme or the naturs shocld be changed. As we said In an editorial on this subject some weeks ago we believe 'the trend for the laitt few years has been to ward the specific purpose declared in the name,' but it is entirely too flow. At the present rate it would Uke a thousand years to reach the point and we believe now is a good time to in stall a more rapid pace in that direc tion. Let much of the work now done there be left to the state university, Put a man at the head of the iustito tion who is in the prime of life, an agriculturist in theory aud practice. whose heart is iu the work and whose iutluence will lend dignity and char acter to tbit department above all other. Iu fact let there be no de partuieoU except those pertaining to agriculture in its various phases aud let each department be provided with specialists who are wide-awake, pro gressive aud np-to-date aud able to en thuse their students and inspire in terest aud pride in the work for which they are fittiug themselves. Let us have an agriculutral college that will be a pride to the state and the envy of others; one that 'will at tract to its wall the brightest young men and women of our aUte who will there fit themselves to return to the farm and help dignify the profession of the farmer nntil it shall stand where it belongs on a par with all others." la Sill Dltni Major llauiuj, editor aud?nianager otthe OoutitntionAlint, Eminence.

INEXPENSIVE METHOD OF IRRIGATING LAND Uses a Big Centrifugal Pump and Gtxaollne Engine to "Lift Water From Creek. - Of the success of a Jackson connty farmer in irrigation by a pumping plant the Medford Tribune baa the following: "J. G. Gore is completing a plant tbat will enable him to utilize the waters of Bear creek in irrigating his orchard two miles south of town. He has installed a four inch Byron Jackson centrifugal pump that draws water with a six inch sue' ion, and discharges six inches of water to a height of 26 feet. This empties into a flume and gives sufficient fall to eosura a rapid flow of water making it pcsdble to put the water on the land very quickly. The flume has a 2x8 bottom and 1x10 side giving an 8x3 flume. This furnishes a head of water of 4(10 inches per miuute, suffi cient quantity to cover the entire or chard. The original plan provided for the use of the pipe but being un able to obtain the necessary piping the flume is used us a temporary ex pedient. Mr. Gore has an excellent setting of both apples and pears and expects the moisture to bring the fruit to a high state of development The oost of the plant is in the neigh borhood of 1700 and power is fur nished by a gasoline engine." Galvuton' Sea Wall makes life now as safe in that oity as on the higher uplands. E. W. Good loe, who resides on Dotton St., in Wasco, lex., needs no sea wall for safety. He writes: " I have used Dr. King's New Discovery for consump tion the past five years and it keeps ma well and safe. Before tbat time I had a congh which for years had been growing worse.

Another Railroad for Eastern Oregon. Of the progreas of the survey for the Soothern Pacific branch line from Natron, a station on that Company's line in Laue county, into Southeast ern Oregon, the Klamath Falls Repub lican tells the following : "The surveyors of the Natroo Klamath Falls branch of the Soothern Pacific railroad are now working this side of Naylox and will be in Klam ath Falls some time next week. The engineer in charge of the work visited Klamath Falls this week, bot as it is a portion of their work to keep mam, and they believe iu earning their money, no information regarding the real signiHcance of the survey being made was oblaiible.

Creameries Increase Farmer Earnings. A sample of the way creameries in Oregon prosper, is given in the follow ing item from the Western Oregon, published at Cottage Grove, Lane county, which sets forth the growth of the Cottage Grove creamery: "As an illustration of the growth of the business, comparison is made of the creamery's first month of operation with that of June this year. In August, 1904, the first mouth of opera tion, the creamery had 15 patrons. A steady increase in patronage baa oeen maue iron, moocn to month, up ! ground which will entails consider to 100 in June this year. The ontuut i hl. t, for the mourn ci August, IWS, was 33 ronudg of butter. The 'output for Jane, 1U08, was 13,000 pounds of hotter and 200 galloua of ice cream. " Was to Poor Health lor Years. Irs W.

LAND THIEVES ARE CONVICTED A Medford Newspaper Man e.nd the City Attorney Are in the Crowd. In the federal court at Portland, Saturday, Martin G. Hoge, oity at-: torney of Medford, who wa found guilty in conjunction with Charles Nickell, editor of the Medford South ern Oregonian and Democratic Times, last Thursday night under an indict-! ment charging him witb conspiracy to defraud the government out of title ; to its public lands, and Henry W. ; Milter and Frank E. Kincart both of . whom had pleaded guilty to the same offense, were sentenced. The two lat ter were each given one year's im prisonment at hard labor on McNeill's Island, while Hoge, ou account of his physical condition and tha fact that Government Prosecutor Heney interceded for leniency, was given a much lighter sentence, a fine of $500 and four months' imprisonment in the Multnomah county jail being the extent of his punishment. Nickell had already obtained a stay of execu tion until Monday morning, August 6, hence no action was taken in his case at Saturday's proceedings. In prononncing sentence upon the trio of culpri'g Judge Hunt exercised every consideration for the circum stances of tneir respective cases. He commeuded both Miller and Kincart for their plea of guilty, and ad monished them to take their punish ment to heart, so that when they emerged from the government prison they would be in a, position to heed the lessons of the past. The court advised Hoge to return to Medfotd after serving his senteooe and endeavor to live down his offense. He was returned to the county jail after sentence had been imposed,' and commenced serving time at once, while Miller and Kincart were taken to MoNeiU's Island. Marie Ware McKinley, through'Lew Tarple'y, her lawyer entered a plea of not guilty to an indictment charging her. State Senator Mays and others with conspiracy to defraud the gov ernment. Special Prosecutor Francis J. Heney asked for and was given an order for feiting Horace G. McKinley's bond in the ease in which he was oonvicted and in another case still pending. Mr. Heney asked that bench warrants be issue! for his arrest. MoKinley'a bondsmen, who will havJ to stand the penalty of bis non-appearance, are Eugene Blazler and Jack Grant, both of Portland. McKinley is believed by government officials to be in China. Efforts are being made to bring him back. Mr. Heney also took an 'order for a severance in the case wherein Her mann, Williamson, F. P. Mays. Wil ard N. Jones and George Soreueou are jointly indicted for conspiracy. The severance affects Hermann aud Will iamson, and the case against them will go over for the term. A Mystery Solved.
