A Correct Theory:

The way money for state institu-
tions has been drawn out has been
great abuse. The authorities of
East Oregon normal school recent
ly sent in for large part of their
appropriation, but secretary Kin
caid thinks that they are not entitl-
ed to it in that way. He thinks the
only way sanctioned by the con-
stitution for the payment of money
is upon bills properly audited by
him. The understanding Of the
institutions getting appropriations
has been that they could draw it
quarterly and spend it as they
please, but Mr.. Kincaid says it is
intended for certain purposes and
the vouchers therefore must be filed
and audited by the state officials.
1t is by this pernicious habit
that the defalcations occurred by
which the state funds were lost at
the state agricultural college.
Mr.. Kincaid will have his hands
full if he seeks to stop all these alb
uses at once. They have been al
lowed to grow since years.-Salem

PLAN OF REORGANIZATION.
Oregon Railway & Navigation Com
pany to Be Strengthened.


Oregon Railway q Navigation
committee of the collateral trust
and consolidated mortgage bonds
have agreed upon a plan of reor-
ganization which provides that
general mortgage Of $21, 100000, at
A per cent interests, is to be used.
into which the present outstanding
obligations are to be funded. Col
lateral trust bonds are to receive
30 per cen. in A per cent bonds and
50 per cent of the new preferred
stock. Consolidated bonds are to
receive par in new As, 2d per cent
cash and 374 per cent preferred
stock. The stock of the company
is to be assessed at $8 per share,
for which preferred stock at par
will be given. OF the new 4 per
cent bonds $5,000,000 will be held
in the treasury to retire the 6 per
cent bonds of 1890, whtn they ma
ture. The foreign interest in the
securities of the company is COM
mitted to the plan, the success Of
which is therefore regarded as as
sured.

Earnings In Common.

From a resident in Dufur we
learn that a new organization has
been started in our neighboring
burg. The only kind of an organ-
ization that can possibly do the
work that is aimed at by
all reform organizations. The
principles Of the new lodge are all
pointed at equality of all men, and
this is secured by bonds and oaths
that make all members come in
every Saturday night and put
their earnings in common spot"
then a division is declared, and
every member gets proportion
whether he works or not. The
main difficulty in Dufur has been
that men join and then quit work.
So far has this feature gone that
twenty five members divided forty
cents last meeting Times Noun

Afraid Of Cyclones.

The people of Long creek are
afraid Of cyclones since the terrible
visitation they had few months
ago, and when the wind blew
with great velocity, last week,
many of the citizens took safety in
their cellars thinking it was an
other cyclone. 1t did some dam
age, and in the vicinity the timber
was badly demolished. Report
reached Long creek that the new
school house at Monument was
blown from it's foundations. Long
Creek is the only place in Eastern
Oregon that we have heard of cy-
clones prevailing, and after reading
their disastrous results in the east,
it is enough to make people tim
orous and fear when the wind
blows.

THEY WILL APPEAL.
Citizens Meet and Take Action in the
Lee Street Bridge Case.

A-SC 0tt Cet oef06C vase
A delegation of Milton citizens
met on Wednesday last to dis ,uss
taking an appeal to the supreme
court from Judge Clifford's decision
in the injunction case of the citizens
of this county against Byers,
Rourke, ct al, commonly known as
the Lee street bridge case.
The Eagle says: If the Pendle-
ton ring imagine for one instant
that this important matter will be
permitted to rest as it now stands
by the taxpayers and citizens of
the country they will be speedily
undeceived. The people lost the
case before the court by reason of
the influence of the ring over the
judge presiding over that tribunal,
but they are not beaten and will
yet prove that right will prevail
in spite of the Vaccinations of the
few unscrupulous individuals at
the county seat, who make busi-
ness of fleeing the unwary. All
present favor the appeal and that
action will be taken at once as only
few days yet remain to file the
papers, the six months limit al
lowed by statute in such cases hav-
ing nearly expired.
The case will come up at the
May term of supreme court which
convenes in Pendleton on the 7th
proximo. Counsel has been retain.
ed and the papers will be prepared
and other necessary steps taken
for the appeal as soon as possible.
The people have not been dead
or even sleeping They have simp-
ly taken plenty of time to calmly
and dispassionately discuss the
situation and now they have decid-
ed to move, the case will be pushed
vigorously to a successful termina-
ton. The law and justice are both
with them and they are sure to
win."

No Cigarettes.

No pupil that smoke cigarettes
is allowed to attend the Joseph
public school. The school board
has just taken the matter up, and
decided that anybody dicovered us
ing cigarettes will be promptly ex-
pelled, no matter smoking on or
off the school grounds. All mem
bers of the board voted for the pro-
position. Every school board in
the country ought to follow suit.

were ripe on the 25th; new potatoes
dug on the Both. April, 1889, was
dry and warm and early. Arril,
1890, was cold and rainy and veg
citation backward. Peaches we're
slightly damaged by frosts on the
18th and 18th. April, 1891, was

THE WHEAT TRADE
AS Seen by Commercial journal at
Portland.


Portland.
The situation here is very unsat-
isfactory, both to buyers and sellers.
Exporters have plenty Of wheat on
hand to load the remaining ships
now in port. There is no life to
the market and appearances indi-
cate q very slow movement for the
balance of the season. There is
still a good deal of wheat in the
interior, but it is somewhat scatter
ed, in small lots and held above
current market values. Prices are
not weak, but to press sales holders
would not find it easy to obtain full
figures. Quotation are Walla
Walla 45 @47c per bushel, though
the latter is an extreme figure, and
valley Az @50c per bushel. Mill
ing demand is somewhat checked
owing to the closing Of a number Of
mills in the interior. For the
month Of March, ten vessels sailed
from this port for Europe carrying
total Of 665, $50 centals of wheat,
while from August 1, 1894
to April 1, 1896, over 5,349,972
centals Of wheat left this port out
ward bound.

Fight the Lettuce.

J. j. Roulston an Adams farm
er, says there must be concerted
action by wheat raisers to prevent
spread Of Chinese lettuce and to
exterminate it. This weed is on
the same order as the milk weed,
the blossom developing an enor-
nous quantity Of seed which float
in the air and make it futile for
one farmer to fight the weed when
his neighbor neglects to do the same
thing. All must work together.
There are many who are resolving
fields on account of Chinese lettuce
and another year, unless some
thing is done, the damage will be
very great.
