wheh is of considerable importance.
Chief interest (o Medford and
I. million Oregon is (he Medford Tnn
fie Unreiui's euse against (he South
ern Pacific, for a law cnmmnditv
rate. Medford has two eases pend
ing, one before the Slute Commission
and (he other before the Interstate
body. In the state ease a demand
is made for a low commodity rate
from Portland, and in (he luterstatt
case (he demand Is made for a law
rate from San Frnncibco.
Oilier Cases.

among them is (he acliou brought h

To the Editer: I have noticed that
articles have been published to the
effect that tho Jioaxd of Governors
of (he Koguo Ifiver Vnley University
club had passed resolutions urging
Upon (he Sdito legislature the pas
sage of certain bills, appropriating
funds for the benefit of the Univer
sity of Oregon.
Theso articles are premature and
incorrect. The facts are that seer-j
al members of the Hoard of Gover
nors of (ho Club, including myseli.
wore approached on the subject am.
asked whether (he Hoard would con
sidcr the adoption at its next meet
ing of resolutions urging legisl.iti"i
of that kind in behalf of higher edu
cation generaly. The reply of cam
member (bus approached was, so fa
ns I am able to ascertain, that h
favored any aid to higher cducatioi
and that, if the matter was present
ed in due form to the Hoard o'
Governors of (ho University Club a
n body, ho would favor resolution
advocating State usistancc, not on
ly to the University of Oregon, bin
to nil Stale institutions. The rjoai.
of Governors bus not met since tha
time iiinl will not hold a meeting fo.
several days. Tho mutter has nev .
been brought before the Hoard am
no resolutions of (ho kind, forma
or informal, have been passed.
I think I am safe in saying, how
ever, (lint any assistance Hint tin
Stale Legislature might sec Jit P
give to (he educnional instituti.i'
of Oregon, without discrimination ii
favor of nay one institution a
against another, woujhl meet with
the hearty approval of every mem
ber of (ho Hogue Kivcr Valley Uni

that it will be impossible to call :
