Duuna tbe pst week sti.rms have

tion practically assures pond crops
on the upland, yet at the same time
it is likely to make the bay crop

around the bead of the lake. J. A.
Bishop, who geierslly cuts upwards

Poor Little N.-C.-O. is Between The

Tie-Up of Trains Is Hxcuscd, Hut Roasted for Not
Porwardlng Halls By Team, Although Contract
Does Not Call Por 5uch Action
It is amusing to see the Alturas Republican and Plain
dealer jump onto the N.-C.-O. with spiked shoes, as it
were. Doth papers concede that it is impossible for the
company to operate its trains north of Madeline, but
nevertheless it is "a shameful disregard of the people's
rights" in not delivering Uncle Sam's mail riht on time.
The X.-C.-O,, or any other railroad lor that matter, is not
required to carry mails except on their trains, I'ncle Sam
having the carrying of the mails to and from trains under
separate contract. When blockades o.cur on any of the
big roads the mails are sent cut ovet the railroad tins showu n contempt
other routes to their poiut of desti
nation, just as should have beau ilou
la tola Instauce, and uc one ever
thinks of calling on the railways to
transport lh- malls by team. Hal
the mails destined for Lakeview,
Alturas aud other points in this o
tion been routed by Klamath falls
they would have arrived only a .lay
or bo lute, and the blame for the uoti
delivery of mails evIJeutly rests witti
the postal department.
lu the same issue of the papers
above referred to mention Is ma ie'of
many people being held at Alturas by
the storm, and also the failure of a
judge to arrive to hold court, not
withstanding about CO jurors answered
roll call.
Of course, all that was excusable ou
account of the severe storm, tut fur
the N.-C. O. not to deliver, the malls,
although not required to do so by the
terms of their coutrHCt, was some
thing awful. ,
As showing what the N.-C O. was
up against and the iucousist?ncy of
the papers above refened the follow
ing clippings are worthy of perus.tl:
"The N.-C.-O. is up against it,
good and bard. Ou the mouutaiu

I "But whila fair-minded mei will
j not Be"?k to blame the co'iipauy for
not overcoming iniporeibilitii-a, yet
I there is no excuse for holding up the
i mails fur two weeks, tweoty-tive miles

lint we do blame It for the Indlller

without a shadow of excuse."
And again :
"Yet neither man nor law can cuti-j

Just how easily "the mails could '

President Kerr Bays that the main
work of the college mu't lie outside
of Corvallis, on the farms, io the

villages of Oregon He urges the
establishment of a permanent depart
ment cf agricultural extension woik,
winch shall provide for carrying the
kuole'li: gained by the cullege ex
perts to the fanners for immediate
application iu their every day work.
Sdcb a result can be accomplished
only by the introduction cf a com
plete evetem of extension teaching,
including a great increase iu the
number of farmer's institutes held,
by the employment of itinerant
schools of agricultural education, the
running of fully equipped demonstra
tion trains through every Important
agricultural distiict of the state and
the publication of bul'etins cover
ing every phase of the investigations
earned on.

report shows to bvae been l'SOl dur
Ing the eolleg) year VM'J 10, while it
is estimated that the enrollment fur
the pieseut year will be between 1300
and 1000 students.
The budget diawn up by the college
boaid of regeuta tor the next bien
oium lias been made the basis of the
college appropriations which are now
being requested from the Btate. For
tbe equipment fund f CO, 000 is re
quested, I' for building and repbiis

of a men's dormitory aud a service
able auditorium each costing approx
imately 1100,000 and a library build

In commenting on this report today
in connection with the returns made
by tbe oollege and experiment sta
tion to the state, Dr. James Withy- j
combe, director of the experiment
station at Ccrvbllis, stated that he I
believes a single department cf the j
elation, thai of entomology, had :
saved the fruit-growers of tho state
several million dollars nu tbe result!
of Investigations aud discoveries on
the control of insect pests. The in
troduction of clover, vetch, kale ami
alfalfa, crops which had received
their impetus from the work of the
station, had iuereabed ttie ngrio ilt

Ladies Get Busy
Mrs. Thus. E. Karrelf has resigned
the presideu.:y of the Civic improve
ment Club aud is succeeded by Mrs,
l i Crouemiller. The club has
leaee.d the building formerly occupied
as a skating rink, and will convert it
iuto a hall for the purpose of holding
entertainments, dances and tlie like.
A stage will be constructed at once
and tbe hall comfortably seated, ho
that It will be ready for use in the
near future, in addition it is in
tended to tit up a gymnasium tor tbe
use of young hoys and girls, thna
alfordiog them a place of amusement
which is so sadly laoklng at present.
Basketball will alio be introduced,
and it is tbe best possible amusement
for the younger class daring the wlu
ter. With rival learns tbe sport fre
quently becomes fast and furious,
and with the proper amount of enthu
siasm worked up tbe ball would not
be laige enough to bold tbe crowds.
The aim of the Club is indeed most
meritorious, aud in its work now
outlined will reoelvn tbe hearty sup
port of tbe people of Lakeview.
