High Sheriff Brown accounts for the

Ferry, the Contortionist, Gives a Re-
markable Performance.

Ferry, the Human Frog" gave a
wonderful performance last night at the
Orpheum Theater. The performance
takes his name from the opening act of
his bill, in which he appears as a frog,
seated on a stump in the center of the
stage
Ferry is a contortionist who proved
able to do things with his limbs which
even frog could hardly be expected to
accomplish. His cOntortions were truly
remarkable, though apparently done
with ease. -sSfts,r
Miss Hattie Fairbount added to the
entertainment with some good singing
and dancing, and George Kunkel gave
some tropical songs with his usual clev-
erness. Moving picture representations
of prize fight, bull fight, and other
scenes closed the entertainment. The
performance will be repeated on We'd
nesday evening and again on Saturday.

LOANS FROn SCHOOL FUND.
Two Districts Have Borrowed rIoney q
Per Cent.


Two school districts have made ap
plication to borrow money from the
irreducible state school fund, under
the act of the last legislature, and
their applications have been accepted
A number of other districts are max
ing preparations to borrow money
from the same source, and it seems
that the state land board will be able
to put out considerable sum in this
way. The districts whose offers o!
bonds have been accepted are District
No. 1, in Clatsop county, which will
issue bonds to the amount of $35, 900
and District No. 2, in Wasco county
which will issue bonds to the amount
of $500. The loans will be made at
5 per cent. interest. The usual rate
for mortgage loans is 6 per cent, but
the board does not find borrowers for
the entire fund.
The act of the last legislature pro-
vided that whenever any school dis
trict desired to raise money by issuing
bonds, it should be the duty of the
district to offer the bonds to the state
land board at not less than per cent
interest. The board has the option
on the bonds at that rate, and if the
may purchase them. If the state land
board declines to purchase the bonds
the district may then sell them in the
market at the best terms that can be
had.
The state land board is also prepar-
ing form of bond which each dis
trict will be required to issue. Uni
formity in this respect will make it
easy to keep the records of bonds in
the hands of the state land board. No
school district can now issue bonds
without giving the state land board
an opportunity to buy them, SO that
practically all the interest paid by
school districts upon bonds hereafter
issued will go into the public school
fund, thus saving this large amount
of money to the public schools.

Washington, June 24.-Hydrograph-
or Newell, of tho geological survey.
who has just returned from an extend.
ed tour of the West, reports the discov-
cry OF new and successful confidence
game that has grown up under the ma
tlonal irrigation law, and which is be-
ing worked in Eastern Oregon. Speak
ing of his discovery Mr.. Newell said:
II was very much disheartened
while in the West to find that associa-
tions for consideration ranging from
500 to 500 are advertising, by circu-
lars and otherwise, to direct homeseek-
ers to vacant public land, which they
allege is to be reclaimed by the nation
al government. These associations
make the showing thaat they are
formed to represent homeseekers, and
propose to give them inside informa-
tion. They have no inside informa-
tion. They do not know what lands
the government intends to irr1gate, for
no one knows, not even the depart.
ment. They are simply defrauding the
people.
"They are sending people onto lands
that will never be irrigated, either by
the government or private enterprise.
and l know of instances where these
associations have sent people on to lands
on hillsides, which could not possibly
be irrigated.
II want to stamp these associations
as frauds and to warn all homeseekers
to avoid them. One of these companies
has headquarters at Omaha, and an.
other at Pendleton, Or, but their oper-.
ations extend over the entire arid
West, and they are pretending to give
inside information concerning arid
lands in every state"

CUBAN MATTER BEFORE CABINET.
Naval Station Will Be Secured In Ad-
vance of Payment Therefor.

Washington, June 25.-At the cabi-
net meeting today, Secretary Wilson
submitted an elaborate set of plans for
the proposed new building of the de-
uartment of agriculture. Considerable
modification of the plans submitted
will be necessary in order to bring
them within the cost proposed by con-
gress.
Secretary Hay referred briefly to the
pending treaty looking tc the acquisi-
tion of naval stations In Cuba, and the
settlement of title to the Isle of Pines.
AS to the naval stations, it appears
tnat the treaty will be SO framed as to
permit of the acquisition of the land in
advance of payment therefor, the ques-
tion of price to be settled thereafter.
This ia necessitated by the fact that the
Cuban government proposed to acquire
the title from individual holders and
transfer the land to the United States,
and it is unable at this time correctly
to estimate the value of the property
required.
