FARMERS AND THE AGRICULTUR-1 Ized to force its way to the Thibetan
' AL COLLEGE. capital. As all foreicnors are absolute-
The 'state grange in a leport ralsod ly prohibited from entering the pro
tho question, whether the Stnto Agrl- cincta of the sacred city the insult of
cultural college might not bo made the undertaking Is easily understood
more of a farmer's collego, and The grand lama with his armies Is
showed that out of 354 young men In J opposing Younghusband's progress
Jittondanco only 59 were taking the
course in Agriculture.
The Journal! always seeks to place
4he responsibility whore It belongs
and in place of finding fault with the
collego, directed the attention of the
grange to the fact that out of thlrtoon
anembors of, tho board of regents ap
pointed by tho governors of Oregon
only one was a farmer.
Tho Journal did not say these re
, ngonts wore unfit or Improper men In
-any sense of tho word, but If a board
of all farmors Were appointed to run a
business collego tho unfitness would
bo very manifest, and tho criticism
would be fully as portlnent.
Of tho lawyers, bankers and poli
ticians who liavo boon made legents
for the Agricultural college thoro Is
one notable exception who Is a farmer
Ina .practical senate, of tho word, and .those, countries
that is W. W. Cotton, attorney for
tho O.' R. & N. Co.
We are Informed' that, ho is conduct
'jng personally a largo farm ahd male
''ing it pay as a business, and so far
4ns Mr. Cotton Is concerned, tho crltl
asm Is unfair. Ho was appointed by
Bovornbr Chamberlain,
friTo mako this wholo mattor plain,
lUoro are farmors and stock-raisers Judge
In Oregon who make, thnt their solo i tlons
business, who do not rely on scmo
and Boveral severe battles have taken
place In the rugged, mountainous
country.
Of course, It is more coincidence
that tho English government Is push
ing tho column toward tho heart of
tho hermit nation at a time whon Rus
sia is so soriously Involved with Japan.
It Is difficult to predict tho outcome
It will probably requinro a largo army
and a big oxpodltlon to force a way to
Lhassa. It may mean a repetition of
the program in South Arflca, And
yet English prestige requires that the
effort bo successful.
The Thibetan campaign Is only one
of tho many movo3 In tho eastern

" A VERY PROPERyMbVE.
The Now York Stato (Society of the
Son of the Revolution 'has purchase
Frunce's tavern, which stands at the
southeast corner of Broad' and Pearl
streets, Now York City, and which
was originally the mansion of tho Le
lancey family, Having later been
turned into a tavern, it became as
early as 1768 assured o historical
memory, for In that year 'if witnessed
tho organization of the New York
chamber of commorce.
But tho event which mad'j this tav
ern interesting in many other ways
and is of greater Interest was its
choice by Gen. Washington as his
headquarters when he entered the city
after Its evacuation by the British.
Tho great general remained in New
York City but nine days. Then at
noon on Thursday, Pecember 4th
1783, he summoned the chiefs of his
army to meet him in the great room
of this tavern. x Thus camo about the
famous farewell meeting of the Ameri
can generals at tho close of that re
markablo war. The scene has been
described as follews:
"It was one of the few occasions
In Washington's life when he gave
way to embtlon. With the men before
him ho had shared tho perils and
hardships of the long years of the
war. His words to them were: 'With
a heart full of love and gratitude I
now take leave of you, and most do
voutely wish your latter days may be
as prosperous and happy as your for
mer ones have been glorious and
honorable.' He drank their health,
and after a pause said: 'I cannot
come to each of you to take my leave,
but shall be obliged If you will each
come and shake mo by the hand.'
Gen. Knox ' came forward first, and
tlhon the other officers silently ln
turn."

The hills brought for streams of vot
ers all day long. Tho stores and sa

crowded with people. Men, women
and children came In hackloads, and
tho new opera house at night held
hundreds oj Well dressed, happy and

terprise of W. A. Carter, well-known
nt Salem as legislator and successful
In gaining the hand of one of Salem's
fairest daughters, and among tho au
dience to hear tho 'discussion of expan
sion principles was not a more atten

Hughes Carter. Mr. Carter has a
large merchandise business in part
nership with Mr. Dufflold, and quite a
law practice besides. The postmaster
at Gold Hill is the former editor,
Joseph H. Hammersley, who also has
a law practice, mostly In mining liti

some of the largost mining oporators
In this part of Oregon. Evorybody

Agriculture, fruit growing, stock
raising and even lumbering aro prom
inent, but really secondary to mining.
Mon own flno ranches, have hundreds
of head of cattle, and acres of alfalfa,
but off in a canyon, or on the gravel
bar cf some creek, or on the ridge of
some mountain, they have lntorests
in the yellow stuff that Is scattered
with lavish hand all over this pait of
Oregon. The mineral vealth of these

There are creeks and rivers that In
one mile of their length, If they could
be stripped to tho bedrock, would pro

man busy the rest of his life counting
tho Interest on It.
Tho climate of Gold Hill and scen

The fato of muddy roads or rocky

Well, it's a good thing that nt least
40 agricultural college students know
a cow when they see one.
Why is it that those newspapers
which seek to pay tribute to tho G.
A. R. should constantly remind tjio
survivors of tho civil war that death
Is soon to overtake them?"' Every ut
terance, overy drawing, doplcts the
old soldier about to totter into his
grave. To bo constantly reminded
that ono is soon to shuffle off this
mortal coll Is not pleasant, and It
does seem some other method of
showing revorenco would bo devised.
