V . v 'Kood liVer Slaci er. FRIDAY, AUGUST 4, IS99. From the report of a meeting of the board of regent8-of the university of Oregon, held recently in Portland, it Is evident that nn effective pulley of eeon oiny is to he pursued in the manage ment of the state Institutions of higher . li-nrnlng at Eugene and Portland " Among other reductions, the services of all tutors mid assistants were dis pensed with, and a resolution, passed requesting that the president of tlit; faculty prepare-a' 'report" for the Fehrii ury - meeting, of , the regents, with a "view to consolidating rouie of the de paitineuts and "-dispensing wilh some members of the faculty. The annual allowances for the law and medical de payments, were. considerably reduced This course for economy is a move it the . l ight direct ioir ii exercised hi a " j judicious marinerbut otherwise It may seriously in pu'r the efficiency 'of the state university.- The salaries of three of the professors were raised, which is .'commendable, for unless good salaries are pald the institutioncair not expect to retain ah able corps of instructors Hut the proposition that the new pres . Identof the faculty shall prepare a 're port for the board of regents showing how a number of the faeully may be Uiop'i6Q:'W-iot-like1y: to- result in the good : expected. It would work all right if the president had the power to .... select his own assistants, as is the case with the Washington state university and several leading ' Eastern institu tions of the kind, but In the present case it places the president in rather a delicate position, since he and his fel low members all depend for their posi tions" upon the pleasure of the hoard of regents. The late unpleasantness, in Biigated by a aiumher. of selflslr and narrow-minded people of Eugene, . which spread over the whole state and came preciously near wrecking the school,! and finally resulted in the res 'lunation ofDr. Chapman, . was aug mented by Just such proceedings In the . faculty. -The university reopens this fall under new auspices that promise much forvthe future, and it Is rtQ le hoped Vhe afl'airs of the institution will hereaftebe- conduetedvln a' manner calculated to reflect honor and credit upon the state. . ... - . .c : .: The Mountaineer gets deeper and deeper into the mire the more it under takes to elucidate the matter of t lie lease of Hood River as a highway.

The Century dictionary defines a Pioneer as ''One" who goes before and opens and leads or prepares the way for others coming after." . Yes, one who goes before and opens up the way for others coming after! - Behiilil! a wilderness. No human- foot-except the sitvage's treads these Wilds. Here are no indi cations of society of civilization. The savage beast and still more savage red man contest with each other the ab original question of the right of exist alice. Tlu se forests and plains are now as the Almighty created them, un adorned by any monument of man's handiwork. The silent forests and mighty mountains, the gentle valleys and lovely plains, the rushing rivers and singing inlandseas, prod dm G id's hutiiiiwnrk; but where is man's? The power of the streams is not harnessed to do maiHs bidding. The forests grow up and pass away, and us tree succeeds tree, there is nothing to mark the hu man, working in conjunction with the divUie. ., Here are- no mansions, no chinches dedicated to the Creator, none of the hum and stir of city ;or country civilization. The fertile soil of the peaceful valleys has never been turned by the plow undvCoinpelled by man to jie'd Its increase. 'I he vasty plains are .vet covered with their piistine erdure, and the tmflalo and ludiuii pony feed at will, to be disturlied and used only when lhal cither aidmal. the noble red mair, wants eil her a meal bra ride. Into this wilderness, slowly but surely, one by one, comes the pioneer. Yesterday a wilderness but today begins a change What is that speck upon the horizon on the boundless prairie, In the track of i tie settingmii? ISIow-ly and yet surely It approaches- Now it begins to take sjiape. It Is a prairie schooner!" A single ox, thin and tired, slowly drags a cart. Beside trie, cart walks a man, thinner than his ox,: duHty, foot-soie, wilh . ragged ' clot lies and run down shoes, but in Ids face .-we fee, through the lilies of care and sorrow, an earnest, quiet determination, a spirit that noth ing but death can daunt. It Is the face of a hero a Pioneer. - Inside the cart sits the wile and mother, two young children at her side.- They too look so tired, and the mother's face is very sad. The wagon cover is torn and rent with theiiLillets and arrows or the savage red men they last met, where their oldest son wus slain, together with all the other members of that company then living, which six mouths before left the banks of the Missouri river with.happy hearts and determl,(ied wills to search lor themselves hollies in the far northwest. . Borne died of sickness and others fell in fierce combat with the Indians; but none turned back. The wilderness has h allowed : them up. feint the place thereof shall know them no more' Pestilence,; liunger, thirst. hardships and trials, : almost insur mountable, have told Ihe tale, and one by one they fell by the wayside. A grave hastily dug in the prairie, a mound of rock In the mountains, is all there is to show for some of those happy, bear's that set but for ihe "151 Dorado." 1 he skeletons of those the Indians have scalped lie "white and ' mouldering under the blue sky, and silently speak for some of that noble band. Others have gone down in the whirpool and ireacherousquicksaiid.. But did famine or thirst, did trials.or hardships stop the survivors? No doubt they were Mifteu. discouraged, hut in spite of all they pressed on, determuied that noth ing but neat n should stop them, until JJeulah was, reached Why dwJ. -tbey but give up? y W:hy did they -not- turn back? 1 will tell you why. They were pioneers! In their bosoms was implant ed I lie love of country, the love of home, the love of their I'ellowman, the desire to settle, up the country, they were imbued with that spirit and the desire to go before and open up the way for others coming after. .They are men and women who never know failure, whose hearts are stout. They are noble, self sncrincuig and .brave as lions. - Is this picture overdrawn?. No. There are those before, me who have themselves passed through just such trials and hardships, who have started out with others from the distant Eastern homes, to, hew .out homes in the ; Northwest, and have seen their friends and neigh bors, mid perhaps their own loved ones fall by the wayside, a prey to the savage red man and l inr beasts of the forest. Every spot of this beautiful land of ours is rendered s.icred by the priva tions and blood of its pioneers. Today we' sit In this com fortable building in the pretty village of Hood River, and around us is quiet and safety. ' Not many years ago, the war-whoop of the Indian reveiberated through the woods, among which the streets of this town are now laid. Not many years ago the rifle iiivd scalping knife were abroad in the land, a nil there are those amongst us, now, especially Mr. ttraatord, dipt. Coe and Mr. Underwood, who can tell of these ter ioiway back in the 50's.- But now how different. On every hand are happy, peaceful homes and all the evidences of a prospeious and advancing civiliza tion. No longer need - we fear ihe attack, of the savage. We are sur rounded with even-thing essential to our happiness.. -Not many-years ago this valley was the wilderness we have pictured. The pioneer has made.it possible for us' to ..'enjoy! "pur. present blessings. " ' ' , We have inst cause to be proud of our tState. In the late war witn Spain, as well as in the present war of the Philippines; -what Webfoot is not proud of the achievements of the good war ship Oregon, and the noble Oregon regiment? That battle shiD and that regiment has given Oregon a reputation ail over the world, and wherever Old Glory waves, all nations have for it a greater respect by far than formerly, and the ship Oregon and the Oregon i egi men t. have had more to do collectively with. this increased respect than any. other ship' that floats the American flag, or any other regiment that wears the uniform of. Uncle Sam. : And now our hoys are coming home, i covered with glory. They went at the call of their country, the flower of our common wealth", not for lucre'.aiid -ftot even for -reputation .exclusively, but because they love the stars and stripes, and because .their hearts were and are full of noble patriotism. We ure glad they are coming home. The greater part of ( this-, regiment is. composed, I Ruspect, of the sons of pioneers. Then, friends,! we have one of the greatest ncwspiipers in the land. I refer to' the Daily . Oregoifiahi I tell you that we c:iti feel proud Of t his able ex poiieut of Americanfs'ni.:;- In. my opinion, there is iiot in: the ian-d- today a griper sb-en-tirely American-us is the O'egoniait. U is Jor America what'Teddy- Roosevelt j"isfor America. Now, neither Teddy nor the. Oregonian represent my polit- ical sentiments in all ways, as you know; but I am an AmeVicam first and a politician afterward. Wherever I see everything that is entirely and earnestly American, I love and respect ! it from the bottom of my heart. Hence my veneration and regard tor tne ure gonlan and Teddy Roosevelt.
