Each section so?ms to refer to specific lands, except the one section which says 'lands received by grant from the 1'nited Htate. " I : ?' Therefore. T am of ths opinion that the state land board has no authority (to sell and disiwse of lands devised to .the state for a specific purpose without an act of the. legislature directly au thorizing it. and no other officer of the : state is authorized -to convey any. class f state lands, except the state land 'board.

For several years he has not been on the road "selling goods, but has sent out salesmen, but at this time he is making a tour of the valley looking after his trade, and during this trip he has made a close study of the condition of the cities and towns visited with a view to their neatness and the improvements made since hequithe road several years -ago, since which time he has not, until this occasion, seen any of those places. He stated yesterday that the improvements noted by him in Eugene and Albany were of a -character that spoke volumes for the pride of the people of the two cities and he congratulated Albany on the civic improvements of the last few years. The many new cement walks, the cleanliness and the general tidying up of the city were so evident that- he could not help speaking of the matter. This improvement he noted in both the business and residence districts. 'All of-the valley towns should, clean up-and sbouhl vie with each other to present -'the best appearance possible, he -said, as only in this way, with all portions of the state making a good appearance, 'can the best impression bo made on tourists and friendly, rivalry between the different cities would help the matter of improvement along ma terially and would redound to the bene fit of all concerned..-iHerald. - PLEAD CAUSE OP POLAND.

Gray is certainly a tari anl he might "aptly be called "TiieFckerl of Willamette Uniyers'ty." Besides the feats already enumerated he fdiow ed his ability to punt, and a second at tempt at a field goal just Wforc the close of the half might have been suc cessful had it not been blocked. . Gray did not kick goal on his touchdown but this was excusable. Ford was another star for Willamette and he got away for a thirty-yard run the longest of the "day. Lounsborry went in in the second half, - for" the first time this season on the local" fieli. except for a few moments in the Pulr-man-Willamettc game. His defense was particularly noticeable. Other" good players for the Willam ette team were Hewitt, McCully, dpdd and Simpson. Sanders was good ion the offense'lmt ' he failed to back ; up McCullyi on the defensive. Jorstad made the longest kickoff of the season by a Salem team. Darby was the ptar for CorvallUi,' making a twenty-eight-yar i run In the first half. - Sweek. the 'other halfback, also distingulshe hiiiiBelf, as did Rose Lyttle. and McKinnon, first team sub stitutes. Cherry and Walker, Tcenter and fullback missed the train at Cor vallis. - On a whole, the game was interest ing to the handful of fpeetators who brayed the weather. The lack of-fumbling under such con lit ions, was remark able. The playing was necessarilv slow, but little rag-chewing was in dulged in. Willamette's backs showed a tendency to hit the line too high. Corvallis was weak in the kicking de partment. Rader. of Willamette, gave satisfac tion! as referee.. Story of the Game.
