ARKANSAS TRUST LAW
Upheld as Constithtional,but Limited In its
Effect.

Little Rock, Ark, April 27.-Judge
Joseph Martin, of the Circuit Court, to-
day rendered decision unfolding the
constitutionality of the antitrust law,
but limits its force to offenses commit
ted in the State of Arkansas. The at
torney general construed the law to
cover rate making by insurance COM
panies in Arkansas or elsewhere, thus
excluding the old line companies from
the State. Judge Martin holds that the
State has right to exclude foreign
corporations and prohibit them from
doing business in the state, but cannot
punish corporations or individuals for
violations of the penal code committed
in other States.

OIL NE WIS.

Special to the Register.
Caldwell, Ohio, April 27-Barnsdall
& Longfellow have just completed
large gas well on the Ogle farm, three
miles south of Caldwell, making the
sixth largest gasser in the Berea in this
State, all of which are in this field.
Each well is now producing from two
to eight million feet per day. There
are also six nice producers in this field.
Prospects are good for large amount
Of new work this spring and summer,
which will doubtless develop the largest
Berea pool that has ever been found.
Gasmire & Thompson had the tools
stuck in their wildcat venture at Dill
lonvale, O., but are getting them out
now, and there is very good showing of
oil. Wheeling people who have leases
in that vicinity, are confident that
new and very promising field will be
opened in that locality.
The Wheeling company, which con-
sists of Chas. F. Bachman and others,
has made location on the Thompson
farm, between the Hempfield tunnel
and the Steenrod bridge, and are haul
ing material to the ground for building
derrick. The Ohio county territory
will no doubt be given thorough test,
as SPECTATORS with the necessary cash
are back of the local company, and are
confident that oil may be found here in
paying quantities.

on account Of slowness in printing
the pictorial part, reached SUBJ
scribers Monday. Twenty-three
thousand copies in excess Of the
usual lumber were printed. but so
great was the de enand that the sup
ply was exhausted before 10 o'clock
of the first day. This is the lar
gest and most valuable edition of
any paper ever gotten out in the
Northwest. 1t contains write up
of every county in the state by the
best posted and most reliable men
in these various sections, so this
number is not only an artistic and

valuable piece of literature to send
to prospective comers to Oregon,

Indoor Baseball at o. A. C.

The first public exhibition of indoor
baseball ever given in Corvallis wa s
witnessed at the college armory last
Saturday afternoon. 4 picked team from
the Junior and senior classes we re met by
nine freshmen and sophomores Both
match which proved to be very interest
ing. The seniors and juniors got quite
lead in the first few innings, but their
opponents rallied and played much the
better game during the latter half, the
final score being, freshmen and sophs
2l juniors and seniors o. About 400
excited students and townspeople wit
messed the sport, and admirers of either
team seemed to be very evenly divided.
Enthusiasm ran high. and the din which
followed clever play was, almost deaf
ming.
With slight alterations the game is
played practically the same as in out
door exhibitions. Everything, except
the score and the ball, is on somewhat
reduced scale. A bat is of the usual
length, but only 13s inches in diameter,
while the ball has a diameter of six
inches and is very light. The marvel
GUS quickness of the players and the
accuracy with which the bali is handled,
make this game seem more scientific and
interesting than the outdoor variety.
There is exec llent material in the college
for great taarns and it should be cuiti-
yated.

is 1T IGNORANCE OR FORGET
FULNESSs
1t is rather amusing to watch the
antics of numerous papers through
out the state as they bob about like
a drop of water on a hot griddle,
trying to get on the popular side of
the question Of expansion. What
is right in their own judgment
seems to have little weight with
them for they apparently have
little faith in their stock of this
article Many of them fired in the
air, without waiting To get good
look at the question, as soon as
they got an inkling of its approach.
A closer and better view of it now
convinces them that they have
wasted their ammunition and dis
covered their position to the enemy.
A local paper is an instance of this
squad of raw recruits who embar-
rass the very cause they SO awk-
wardly seek to support. Several
months ago, it let go several volleys,
cracked its heels together and de-
manded the retention of the Philip
pines-ignorant of the fact that we
hadn't them yet to retain-and de
clared that "to pull the flag down
on any soil over which it had been
placed by our soldiers or marines,
would be little short of treason"
But events have transpired since
that time. Colonel William Jen-
nings Bryan has spoken. His
ordS:s Cease firing! To the
rear Marchp And our doughty
private in the rear rank here in
Oregon discovers, as the smoke of
his premature discharge clears
away, that "The lives of more than
one generation of teachers and
preachers as we'll as hundreds of
millions of dollars have been spent
in the effort to civilize the American
Indian. We covered the nation
with blood and dead men and spent
millions upon millions of treasure
in the effort to make the negro
freeman and countryman. Con-
tact with the hated Mongolian
aroused the resentment of our people
and produced scenes of disorder,
agitation and riot that can never
be forgotten" And asks, SIS 1t not
folly to undertake the conquest, the
civilizing and the government of
eight million yellow barbarians and
blacs savages in the Philippine
Islands?"
Is it possible that this high
private did not know all these
things when he demanded some
m ,nths ago that we undertake the
civilizing and government of these
same yellow barbarians? Or has
he forgotten since he turned his
back upon the Philippines and
broke for home, that the flag is still
waving over Manila? Is the act o.
running away and leaving it there
to rot down, less treasonable than
to haul it down with the honors ofI
war when events prove that to be
the proper and honorable thing to
do?
Let us stand by the colors, and
face the foe until he retires from
the conflict, then it will be time
enough to determine what shall be
done with the trophies of victory.

PHILIPPINE EVENTS.
The Policy of Consolidation with
 War Somewhat Discouraging.
MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTS BETRAYED
The Mayors of San Pedro Macati anh Ball iung Caught Aiding the Insurgents niia Authorities Expecting Trouble
 Morang Burned by Americans.

Manila, Aug. 22, via Hong Hong, Aug. 2S. Recent events have proved somewhat discouraging to officials who are trying to accompany war with a policy of conciliation. Two new municipal governments have col lapsed through the treachery of the mayors The mayor of San Pedro Ma cati. who was elected by the people nnder the direction of Prof. Dean Worcester, of the United States ad- visory commission for the Philippines, was brought to Manila and lodged in jail. The United States officers at San Pedro Macati found that he was using his office as recruiting station for the Philippine army. Four disguised in- surgent officers were helping him.
 The mayor of Baliuag was also ar rested and confined in the same prison. The Americans caught him passing be- tween the line of the two armies with discriminating documents. which the authorities secured. Another promi- nent native mayor is under surveil- lance. When the result of the election at linus, which Gen. Layton and Prof Worcester engineered, was am nounced the Americans inquired as to the whereabouts of the peoples choice and were informed that he was in prison at Bilibid, where the authorities had placed him on suspicion of being revolutionist. He was released aud in- stalled as mayor.
 Such events and conditions tend to give color to the assertions of foreign residents acquainted with the native character, who insist that great ma jority of the natives sympathize with the insurgents and elect officials whom they know to be revolutionists.
 For two weeks Manila has been po- 1iced at night with unusual vigilance. Apparently the authorities are expect ing trouble. The trend of affairs tends to make the policy of leniency unpop- nlar among the Americans. When they abandoned Morong they burned the whole town.
 Col. Smith, of the Twelfth infantry, who is in command ot Angeles, is skep- tical regarding Filipino friendliness Instead of allowing the natives to re- turn to the town as heretofore, he has ordered his troops to shoot all men try ing to pass the lines and to turn back the women and children. He recently gave the amigos in the town an oppor- tunity to prove their professed friend ship, putting them to work at digging trenches and cleaning streets, but this only displeased them. The foremost citizen of Angeles, a lawyer who had welcomed the Americans with grea. show of cordiality, was found con municating with the insurgents. I'll Americans promptly marched him o to San Fernando to stand trial.
