Great Ranch VIII Be- Made 10
Earn More Money.
PLANTED IN GRAPES AND GRAIN
Mrs. Stanford Hopes TO Keep Thou
sand Students at the uniNer
sity This Year.

San Francisco, July 14-Mrs. Leland
Stanford has returned from a visit to
Vina ranch, where she went for pur-
poses of inspection. For the first time
the great ranch, which has been per-
sonally managed by Mrs. Stanford, will
pay expenses and there will be a small
surplus. The grain crop this year will
be large one. and the vines viii pro-
duce from 1900 to $4,000 tons Of grapes.
Eight thousand tons of grapes will be
crushed for wine and brandy, making
100000 gallons The balance of the
grapes will be sold. Mrs. Stanford says
only brandy for medicinal purposes will
be distilled.
Speaking of the Stanford university,
she said: IF 1 can keep 1000 students at
the university 1 will be satisfied We
had HOO last year, and will have that
number at the opening of next term. on
the most economical policy it costs $751;
600 a month to run the university. l
have no plans for any future addition
to the university. l hope to be able if
l am spared a few years longer and ali
goes well with me in regard to finances,
to give the university some absolutely
necessary relief in the way of additional
buildings. But 1 shall be very slow and
careful about expanding money as 1 in
tend for every dollar spent to get dol
lars worth in return. The experience
of the last two years has taught me
much in regard to the value of money,
and I think it will influence me in my
future acts"
Mrs Stanford has received hundreds
Of letters and kilograms congratulating
her on Judge Ross decision against the
government. She says she will have
those letters filed among the archives
of the university.

Oregon Short Line Case Decided
by Judge BeIIinger
THE TRUST COMPANY WON IT
Victory for the Scheme of Disintegratiop
of the Union Pacific System
in the West.

Portland, Or, July 15.-The American
Loan and Trust Company of New York
has won its case against the Oregon
Short Line & Utah Northern railway.
Judge Bellinger in the United States
circuit court today rendered an opinion
upon which a decree ordering the fore
closure Of consolidated mortgage and
the sale of that portion of the road in
Oregon, Idaho and Montana will be
entered. The decree Is sufficient to sell
the road in the territory mentioned.
The courts decision, which was given
verbally, was very brief. The judge
said that the Short Line company adj
mitted having borrowed and used the
money and that the mortgage was
valid. All objections to foreclosure
that had been made were purely tech
nical and verbal as to the form of the
courts orders, and there was no rea-
son why the plaintiff was not entitled
to decree. The counsel in the case will
prepare a written decree and submit it
to the court for approval
The decision is a victory for the
scheme of disintegration of the Union
Pacific system, but some time must
elapse before the foreclosure and sale
is effected. Although the attorneys re-
fused to discuss the matter, it is init
mated that the case will be carried to
the court of appeals and finally to the
supreme court of the United States.

MoNeoLIANs HAVE A NEW SCHEME
Hope 10 Beat the Exclusion Act by a DIFF
ferent Method.

San Francisco, July 15.-The Chinese
have discovered a new way by which they
hope to beat the exclusion act. 1t is by
landing Chinese here as natives of this
state. The federal officials here have re-
ceived information that a ring has been
formed here by the Chinese and the whites
to land Chinese fraudulently. The Mon
gols are to be shipped here from Hong
Kong as natives of California. For ev-
cry one that is safely landed the ring is
to receive $500. There are now said to be
200 young Chinese on the way here to be
landed as native sons. Collector Wise
has learned of the existence OF the ring,
and he is already taking action to prevent
its operation. Every Chinaman landed
in the future will be closely examined,
and unless he proves beyond a doubt that
he has a right to land he will be sent
back to China.
