UNIVERSITY
The Registration Aleady Ex
ceeds Last Years High
est' Record
AN INCREASE OP FIFTY PER CENT
QVKR THE PAST SCHOOL TEAR
EXPECTED IT IS EXPECTED
THE DEBT WILL BE PAID VERT
SOON.
(From Saturday's Daily.)
Willamette University Is booming,
and its growth this year exceeds the
fondest hopes and dreams of Its friends.
Testerday the registration of students
In the College of Liberal Arts was 201
one more than the high: water mark
of last year and President John H.
Coleman predicts that the number will
reach 300 by January 1st, next, as stu
dents are constantly arriving, and
many more have been heard from who
will enter later, having been detained
with work on the farms and in the
fruit orchards throughout the state,
- President ColemaA Is Jubilant over
the splendid prospects. He thinks that,
at the present rate of progress made
4n the subscriptions for the payment
jpf the debt of the University, more than
enough will be subscribed by '. Christ
mas to pay all of the indebtedness of
the old school, when active work will
begin to increase the endowment to a
much larger figure than it now is.
President Coleman goes to The
Dal If s on next Sunday, where he will
begin the active campaign for the win
ter in the interest of the pioneer school,
and from this time orr he will probably
fill the pulpit of some Methodist church
in the state nearly every Sunday, when
he will put in sledge-hammer biows for
Willamette University, thus Insuring
by his, active and able work a bright
future' for Salem's old and honored
Institution of learning.
The year's sports at the University
promises to be the best ever had in
Salem. Football again Is taking up
the thoughts of the young athletes at
the school, and yesterday a suoscrip
tlon paiier was circulated at the Unl
ver'sKy for the purpose of raising funds
for the winter's work. In one half hour
$110 was secured and more money Is
in sight for the purpose of fostering the
field contests of the college boys.
A PIONEER PREACHER
REV. T. F. ROYAL, OF SALEM. VIS
ITS OLD SCENES 1ST ROGUE
RIVER VALLEY.
(From Sunday's Daily.)
Rev. T. F. Royal, of Salem, the plon-
heer Methodist preacher, who has been
visiting in Ashland during the week,
revives memories of the early days in
Jackson county. In the Spring of 1853
when the mining excitement was on
good ani strong, considerable of a re
ligious emigration arrived in Jackson
ville most ofthem coming from the
middle and western slates of the Un
Ion. Among the number was the Meth
odist preacher. Rev. Joseph B. hinitn,
whi was assigned to the- Jacksonville
charge, and who afterwards was elect
ed to Congress As a Democrat. He oc
ean the erection of a church In Jack
sonville which was uswd as a Jolirt
idace of worship by the Methodists and
Presbyterians. It ' was afterwards r-e
moved to the place where it now stands
and completed by the Rev. T.- F, Royal
ii-hi ( now In hit 82d year, and who
attended the session of the Oregon
Conference at Grant's, Pass last week
Mott of the funds to build the original
structure were collected by two youngl
la MisMest Royal ' and OverbecK
Thev went from miner's camp to min
amn. Boflcitins' funds- for the
work, and donations of dust and nug
eets were most liberal. They wer
flush times In those early day those
days of gold and the sporting element
and ramblers also chipped in quite uo
erally to start the building of the new
church.
. It was in 1854 that the Rev. T. F.
TinvaJi who succeeded Rev. Jos. Smith
as pastor, completed the Jacksonville
church. The lot on which it stood was
donated to the Conference by James
niuc-raee. and the work finished by
Tvie & McDonough and David Linn
The building was dedicated in the fall
of '54 by the Rev. J. H. Wilbur, who
was the presiding elder of the Wilbur
restrict
The Royal family have ever since
those early days been prominent in
Methodist church affairs In the Oregon
Conference. Ashland Tidings.

WR. SCOTT IN EUROPE :
HIS TRIP. SAID TO BE IN INTER
EST OF IIIS SENATORIAL
. . : : CAMPAIGN.
-(Ftom Sundays Dally.) -IL
W. Scott, editor of the Portland
Morning Oregonian, arrived today in
Liverpool, England. Mrs. Scott is with
him. They will tour the continent, re
maining away from be United States
until January, when the Legislature
wilt meet;
Politicians are asserting with posi
tive assertions that Mr. Scott was pre-c
vailed upon by, some of his friends to
leave America and entrust the man
agement of a campaign for United
States Senator from Oregon in the
hands of those friends.
The Muttomah CoVnty Republican
Legislative delegation will probably in
dorse Mr. Seott for, the United States
Senate. The matter is now being ar
ranged. Mr. Scotfs managers, who
were. given the task of electing him to
the Senate, are-' conducting a quiet
campaign anl inducing members or
the county Mega tlon to promise to
vote for Mr. Seott. It I understood
that a namlK-r are already pleilged, and
that Mr. .Scott's managers are conn-
dent that they will convince the re
mainder that it wilt to their inter
est Ui vote for Mr." Scott.
A3 a consequence of the assertions
thfrt Mr. Scott has gone o. Europe to
permit his munaKers to elect him to the
United States 'Senate, the other candi
dates are "feelin' mighty 1lne. A well
informed politician told The Journal
today that he knew that Mr. C. W.
frUlton appreciatwl the" dangers to bis
candidacy of the present situation, and
that he felt that he might lose the lead
he Is now conceded to hold over his op
ponen!8. "
One thing has developed opponents
of Mr. Scott will ierhaps be able to
defeat him. inasmuch as he becomes
the most conspicuous candidate from
this time on, and will therefore be the
target at which all will shoot. The
Senatorial candidates are being mixed
with other matters and prospective
legislation, as usual, is going to be In
oculated with the virus of trading and
dealt and secret agreements. Portland

KANTNER COMING HOME
AFTER EXTENDED VISIT TX
HIS
, ; BOYHOOD HOME IN
THE EAST.
Rev. W. C. Kantner, pastor of the
First Cons:regational Church, of this
city, who has been spending his vaca
tlon at his boyhood home and tne
scenes of his former labors n Penn
sylvania, wired yesteiday that he will
arrive in Portland this (Tuesday)
morning. He will probably reach home
on the 11 o'clock train today.
That Mr. Kantner has been busy even
while enjoying his vacation Is evi-
lenced by articles in Pennsylvania lo
cal newspapers received by a friend
here. He preached on every Sabbath
excepting the last one, while In Penn
sylvania. He had three calls to hold
services on that Sabbath, but was ob
lized to decline them. Following are
clippings from the articles mentioned:
"Rev. W. C. Kantner, pastor at Terre
Hill about 17 years ago, now pastor of
a Congregational church at Salem, Or-
visited his many friends of Terre HiH
and community and preached in both
the Evangelical and United Evangel!
cal Churches over Sunday last. By
previous arrangement there were union
ervlc-s of thse two congregations. In
the morning the services were conduct
ed in the Evangelical Church and in the
evening In the United Evangelical
Church. The audience on both occa
slons were very large and Intense In
terest was manifested. The theme of
the morning sermon was The Heroism
of the Church;' that of the evening ser
mon The Christian's Hoi.' Both ser
mons were delivered very eloquently
and were full of very apt Illustrations
which assisted the minds of the hear
ers to retain the precious truth spoken
The visit was much appreciated by
both' Rev. K. and his many warm
friends of Terre Hill and communMy;
a longer stay would have been desir
able. He left on Monday noon for his

Editor Statesman:
Noting In the Statesman of the -2l
Insf. the article. rlgne.i "Scribbler," aim
nlitorlal comment m R. F. D. from
this place (sjime, date), desire lo say,
th.'tt I i-oneur with Mr. "Scribbler" thit
there is a roimI opeulng in Turner for
an up-to-date . aeneral merchanilliie
store (a K"r bulldliiK for that purpose
now empty), and thatthe R. F. D. Is
all right. It might ! Improved,, In
some ways, ami doubtless will be. In
time; no good thing ever comes perfect
at the 4art. .,
But there are always people,who will
nntKi. even itool thlnra. ' We see In
stances of this, even In Turner, and I
uo not uouot mai vnere are it-riwiiii
who oppose It. F. t. that ft, would b
better If they were "disxntlnued" Khan
the R. F. !-. and the writer Is ready to
start a subscription to assist In re
moving ail such mossbacklsrn and car
buncles of discontent from our m!dU
and I feel uulte ur It will receive a
hearty s.upKrt, and especially among
the farmers, Who are the bone and sin
ew of our government. Better the
farmer's condition and you better the
honest business man's. Better the ru
ral district's condition, and you. better
the town or city which It surrounds.
Co to the successful farmer, who has
had the benefit of the R. F. D-. and ask
him If he wants It discontinued. G-t
bis answer. If you please. The Rural
Free Delivery is beyond doubt one of
the greatest steps forwsrd, and for the
enlightenment of the farmer,, ever In
augurated. The live business man will see this
at a glance. He Is thrown in' dally
communication with his customers and
does not have to wait for the farmer
to "come to town" to see If he has a
HtfJe produce to sell, or to tell him that
you hare on a, new and up-to-date lot
of undershirts.-Not The-honest busi
ness man can and will trust his pat
rons, and likewise the farmer the merchant-
They, can transact many dol
lar's worth of business for only a few
cents In postage.
R. F. D. Is a promoter of business; It
brings us In closer touch with our pat
rons and facilitates communication,
and has many other conveniences
whih I will not metvtion at this tlm.
R, F. D. advertises a place and gives
It tone and standing that nothing else
will da and we respectfully suggest to
all ILi F. D. Opponent that there are
places where they maye escape lis
bilghtlng influence.
I think when the opponents of R. F.
D. come to size up the "pile" Uncle Sam
r.ronosea 'to atnronriate for its con-
twelve millions, such men as our Tur
ner 920 man, will be as nothing.
