In Ihe Albany College Bulletin, mailed yesterday to those interested in Ihe college, the decision in the re cent supreme court case affecting the title to the present college campus is published in full. The decision is too voluminous to publish in full in these columns, but we reprint belu'w the introduction to the decision as prepared by college aulhoritics: "It has always been the opinion of Ihe writer that a Christian business man should avoid litigation, liven more should a college closelv con nected with a church. Nevertheless, Christian business men are forced in to litigation; so also arc colleges from time lo time. "Albany College recently brought Sllil 'to (iiiel lille' to ils present campus. Less legally phrased, the lustitulion desired to know whether Ihe present campus, inadequate for the best development of ihe college, could be sold and Ihe proceeds de villed lo Ihe purchase of a new campus or lo endowment o build lugs. Suil was instituted. In the Circuit Court Judge Gallow.av decid ed thai Ihe deed gave Ihe college Ihe properly for college uses with the inslruclions thai it must never pass to any ol her religious denoniinalio'n and that Ihe proceeds must be devot ed lo college uses. Judge Calloway's decision was counted by lawyers very able document. "Oil Tuesday, March 11, the su preme court of Oregon, Ihe opinion being bv Justice C. J. Mcllride. af firmed Judge Calloway's decision." THE ELEPHANT IS DEAD I'icttiroil only a few months :i(I us t lie nui-se-iii.-iiil for iho sled trust, the party wrecker, the egotist, the demagogue ami the man who placed his personal and selfish ambition above the wel fare of his party, Theodore Roosevelt was hv the same edi torial writer in the Siwiday edi tion of the Moriiino; Orci-oman, proclaimed "the greatest' moral and political force of our genera tion." This is more than an intellectu al retreat. It is a complete rout an editorial surrender which places the IVnizen of Ovsler Hay in complete and absolute com mand of the fortifications.

SULZER DECLARES WAR More than 150 newspaper ed itors from all parts of the State cheered their approval when, at the banquet ' of the Democratic l-.uitorial Association of New York State, Governor. Sulzer reiterated that he was State lead er and announced a declaration of principles in regard to the distri hution of patronage he would fol low in treating with Tammany lioss Murphy. It was a strong address and is an open declaration' of war against Tammany Hall by the new Democratic (jovernor. The Governor said in part: "The record of that which I have done thus far is straight. I shall fight on to keep the record ol my administration straight, l was tne candidate ot a united par ty and an unshackled convention. "Sorn after I became Governor I realized the deplorable condi tions in the State affairs and promptly made up my mind what to do. The cause was the cause of the Slate, and I determined to shirk no responsibility in my ef forts to secure in the public ser vice a greater economy and more efficiency; to uproot official cor ruption; to eliminate graft, and to raise Higher the standard of civic righteousness and official integ rity. "What I have done thus far speaks for itself, and I have only begun. No man realizes more than I do the obstacles that are put m the way. But I see clear ly the right, and have concluded to go forward without hesitation, and with the determination to do my whole duty fearlessly, regrad less of the political future, of per sonal consequences. "As the Governor, I knew, from the experience of the past, that in order to succeed 1 had to be the Governor in fact as well as in name. 1 have never been an agent, and I never will be. No man, no party, and no organization can make me a rubber stamp. 1 am the Governor. Let no man doubt that."

ADDRESSES CLUB Preaches Interesting Gospel on "Good Roads" Before Local Commercial Body. DRAINAGE IS FOUNDATION FOR ALL PROPER HIGHWAYS Lane County Judge Gives His Own Practical but Conser vative Experience. Declaring that good Toads are essential to the growth and upbuild ing of a community and that the foundation of all road building is proper drainage, County Judge H. W. Thompson, of Lane county, de livered a forccable address before the good roads meeting last night at the Commercial club, upon the subject of "How to Build and Maintain Good Roads." A number of local good road ad vocates and others who are interested in the movement recently inaugurated by the Commercial club, were pres ent, including County Judge Bruce McKnight and County Commissioner u. li. Kusseil, ot Linn county. The speaker was introduced by President Van Winkle, who explained the purpose of the meeting, stating that it was Ihe crnest desire of mem bers of the club that this county should have good roads as circum stances permit, and that to this end may the Commercial Club co-oper ate Willi tne county court and other good road factions, in harmony, that this object may become an early re alization. "We realize the necessity o'f good roads," said Mr. Van Winkle "and we want to lend all the assistance we can to accomplish the object at issue through the co-operation with the county court and enthusiastic cit izens. Everybody is invited to take part in this matter. We of the Com mercial Club are not selfish. We fully realize that Albany cannot have ail ot the good roads ot the county but what we would like to see is a start towards good road construction in this immediate section. We are will ing to go to other cities of the county and conduct similiar meetings as this, in order to' educate the people and in still interest in the proposition, that they may familiarize themselves with road construction, and what it will mean to the community." Judge Thompson is a splendid speaker and his address was intently listened to by those present. It was at good sound practical talk, based up on the Judge's conservative experi ences as the chief road builder of Lane county. Me graphically ex pressed his opinions of what he con sidered as an ideal road, giving his definition of such and telling of his success in carrying out the road poli cies of his court. He explained in detail the workings of the Lane coun ty court in reference to the road question and told of the success that had attained the efforts of the court along this line. "The fundamental principle of road construction," he said "is proper drainage and this is the foundation of all road building. To have a good road, it should be well drained and this applys to practically any kind of road. The cross contour of a road should be pf a curved shape and the highest po'int should he directly in the middle. Proper ditches should be constructed along each side of such road to properly drain off the water. If this is done common sense will tell you that road conditions will have been materially bettered. This condition easily lays the foundation for any surface material desired on the road. I do not claim to lie a road engineer and I feci that all of the roads I have been instrumental in causing to be built, have been mainly ereeted by my mouth. It has been said that we should build roads to accomodate the many tourists who travel through the valley by auto mobile ill the summer, among them rich Californians. but this is not the primary purpose I have in view when I announce that I am strongly in fa vor of good roads. While tlie tour ists would be strongly attracted to this section in this event, and they spend a good deal of lnonev in tlin cities and at the hotels, my wish for universal good roads in this section is for the benefit of the farmer, that he may haul a load of apples to town without making apple butter out of them." During the course of his speech. Judge Thompson dwelt largely on the commercial advantages of "good roads and how they would better con ditions for the farmers. He held that while a little stretch of macadam road four or five miles long would look very small compared to several hun dred miles of raw roads, that it only required a beginning to start the good road work rolling anil he suggested that a main highway out of this citv ne placed in this conditi. ..in rt'i'i r-cn 'ze I '" ' '''"'! himself in the county 1 1 ,1??,;' "' 1 C. yo,lc"?,cl1 '" jail.

Judge Thompson paid a splendid tribute to the people of Albany, con gratulating them on the appearance of the city, making particular men tion of the paved streets and the ni.-i.r- nificant new buildings recently com- PKlnl mm nmltr crarr ot fon- ATHER-jstruction.

Their first stopping place was Port land, remaining here only two' months thence coming in the fall of 1852, and settled upon the place known as the Tell Gate ranch, located near the town of Foster, Ore. They lived on this place fifty five years, and they were numbered of the first settlers in the Sweet Home and Foster Valley.

IS (B(5) 5 S MISFITS. 8 Contributed by F. P. Nutting. 0 ffl (Reminiscence Xo. 24.) The opening of the Northern Pa cilic was tlie beginning of a new era in the Northwest. The first train over brought to this northwest coun try new life and blood, as well as vigor and confidence. Previously one had to get here by steamer or stage or wagon. The event deserved tlie attention it received and our people generally had a right to shout. Among those on the first train was A. . Hammer, a leading Albany merchant. A visit to Albany in September, 1883, by Henry H. Garfield, suggests a career that is worthy of notice. .Mr. Gilfrey was then reading clerk of the U. S. senate, a position he had been holding for awhile. On account of his efficiency and personal popular ity he kept in the office for manv years, then promoted to chief clerk of the senate. Perhaps no public man in the U. S. is more intituatelv ac quainted with the leading men of the nation than Mr. Gilfrey, an Oregon "hoy." A prominent U. O. student was Milt Miller, then editor of the U. O. column in the Oregon State Journal of Eugene. Mr. Miller is now regent of the university, one of our state sen ators, a prominent candidate for col lector of customs, also mentioned for sonic foreign post, and has been prom inently mentioned for governor. A couple of births in September, at this city, were two girls, one on Sept. 22 to Mr. and Mrs. R. Thompson, and on the 29th to Mr. and Mrs. G. E. Chamberlain. In October an old folk's party was held, with fourteen present. The youngest one in it then, Mrs. W. Q. Stewart, is now the oldest and the on ly one of the number alive. All of tlie others have gone after playing their parts well in the upbuilding of character in this western country. The murder of Mrs. Jas. Fitllayson in November caused great excite ment here. Her mutilated body was found. Investigation followed, re sulting the arrest of her grandson. Charles Einlavson. who confessed: Dr. J. C.
