Cigna of Good Kping and Good Cook- Ing Quality. Tbe characteristics of potatoes as to keeping quality and general excellence become very apparent about thU time of year and should be borne In mind when the question of seed for another crop cornea up. Potatoes of a corky appearance or touch are usually preferred to tie aruooth and clear skinned tubers. TbU appearance or touch Is In some In stances a variety characteristic, but to ruBKB b no vis a 8Kis Bumm a"neral It Indicates a degree of matu rity or development which promises good cooking qualify. ' On the other hand, the potatoes of smooth and clear si In are Oftentimes excessively wa tery or Immature. The presence of lentlcels that Is, bodies of cclla which during growth enlarge and rupture the skin la not ob jectionable, for they usually Indicate normal growth and development In a healthy environment In an Investigation of the quality of potatoes carried on by J. W. Gllmore at the New York Cornell experiment stntlon parts considered in the physical examination were the surface or skin, the cortical layer or portion, linmedl atcly under the skin and varying from .1 to .3 Inch In thickness, the external medullary area that is, the main stnrchy part of the tuber and the In ternal medullary area or central por tion of the potato, which often branches Into the external medullary area and is more or less translucent on account of Its high moisture content' As regard the skin, It was noted that uneven tubers with deep eyes were un desirable for market while a netted skin Indicated maturity and, as a gen eral rule, good qualify. A smooth tkln indicated Immaturity, and hence poor keeping quality and a tendency toward undesirable flavor. Scabby potatoes were often mealy and of good color, but undesirable from the market stand point Tubers which bad grown In part exposed tdthd air wero heavy and sopgy when corked and of poor color and undesirable flavor. In ureneral It was found that when tho cortical l.iyer U thick and dense the tvbers are of poor quality, and thU condition Is an Indication that 'they grew near tho surface, where the tem perature and inoleture conditions were more variable tUJin deeper la tho poll. A uniform external medullary area liv dleites an even distribution of 6tnrch cells and of starch grams within the cell. - When this layer is not uniform It Is an Indication that the starch cells are unevenly distributed and lnter apersed with watery areas. A large TiuravEssa aacTioic or potato, A. skin; B. cortical layr; C. outer ma dullary loyar; D, Inner medullary layer. and branching Internal medullary area Indicates that there la a large propor tion of the potato substance which does cot contain enough starch grains to rupture the cell walls when the tuber Is bolted, and hence a soggy rather than a fttarohy cooked product results. When the Internal medullary area Is 6mall It is an indication of uniformity In the starch area and a small propor tion of watery substance. Horas Talk.

Hurst AUKUKA, Stand by the University. We believe jt is the duty of every voter in the state who be lieves in giving the young men rind women a chance to secure a higher educution, to vote for the University appropriation. To turn down the state university would give Oregon a black eye in the estimrtion of eastern states, whose people are looking this way with a view of ' coming hero to spend their money for homes. ; Oregon has been under -the ban J of grafters and political trick-j sters for many years. The ref-1 erendum was invoked on the uni- J versity appropriation out of a' feeling of petty jealousy on the part of certain people living at j Albany, a neighboring city to Eugene. A campaign of misrep resentation was then started for the purpose of misleading the people and appealing to their prejudice. All kind3 of false statements have been made re garding the management of the university. One of these is that the University is paying a foot ball coach a large sum of money. This is not true. The football boys hire their own coach and pay out of the proceeds of their games and not a cent is taken from the taxpayers for this purpose. The teachers of the university are greatly discouraged and many of thcnipractically all of them will quit if the state votes down tho appropriation. For three months they have served with out pay, because there is no mon ey in the uury. 'jhe gills' dormitory and tho new library building are not being used be cause there is no money to main tain them. Tills niggardly pol icy toward the, , college that af fords young men end women a chance to get an education is go ing to react with disasterous re sults, if it is carried out. Nearly on 3 half of the students are now paying their own way through school and fitting themselves for positions of trust and influence in after life. Tnis is, their only op portunity. In God's name let us wake up and give the rising gen eration a chance! Vote yes on the appropriation bill and do a service to yo lrsolf and the state in which yoj live. INHUMAN TORTURES. The 01 English Custom of Burning ' Women Alive. The horrible punishment of burning women, alive seems to have existed In Baxon England, but ierh:i8 only In the case of slaves. Under the Norman rulers any womaq, bond or free, wh killed Ler husband was burned alive, and the same punishment for this crime and also for high treason and even for coining and other iiiinor of fences continued or aroso from time to tlmo through the second and third lortods until it was abolished by act of parliament In 17'JO, the last actual execution of this kind haTinjr. how ever, taken pluce six years earlier. Tl.e wh!r:'lnz of women for , various of fen.s conUnued even later. Public whlpiinj was not abandoned until 1S17, and cases of private whipping oc curred us lute as 13130. TL'.to can to no doubt, we think, that the savnijo human Instinct of cruelty had something to do with the barbarous punishments above ruen tl n'l As rhe old Itoruin pjbllc lc?ed for the carnage f. the clrcns. as tho Fpanlah jiopuhve crowded to the auto-da fei the "ourtihlnit days of the Inquisition, r tho lowar (per haps not only the lower) strtt of Enc 11 h natl'mallty took CelLrht In wltne.

Corn hill Mtjaxlae. & Co. & Company UKLUUM H. M.'Cake For Senator. Si H. M. Cake is the man for sen ator. The fight being made on Mr. Cake on the ground thet he is not supporting Statement No. 1, is for the purpose of befogging voterr. The Journal and other supporters of Mr. Chamberlain contend that Mr: Cake should op pose all republican nominees who did not sign Statement No. 1, and advocate those who did. It is entirely out of Mr.' Cake's prov ince to presume" auy thing on this ground. These men are the choice of the republicans of their respective districts, and we base our ideas of . government pn the principle that we are to be gov erned by the decision of the ma jority. For instance, In Marion county part of tho ticket is pledged to Statement No. 1 and part is not. Would it be fair for Mr. Cake, himself a candidate to ''butt in" and advocate the elec tion of part of the 'renublican candidates and the defeat of Others? The pcoplohave spoken and Mr. Cake should keep silent. No man should presume on the right of the whole people, and those whe contend that he should. are playiny a political gamo that We are in fav r Statement No. 1. and expect to fight for that principle as long as there is any fighting force left in us, but ' we don't believe Mr. Cake should be accused of being noncommittal on the statement because he doesn't openly knife a part of his ticket. It would bp unfair to tne republi can majority whe nominated these men, and we believe that the majority' should rule, and that -the people, should choose their U. S. Senators. Subscribe now.
