Unless $4,000 can be raised for
the Weston Normal school between
now and July 2S, that institution will
have to suspend operations during the
next year. a decision to this effect
was reached last evening at the meet
ing of the regents of the normal
school, as was predicted in the East
Oregonian Monday evening. Also.
Regent G. w. Proebstel, of Weston.
was appointed to have charge of the
buildings and equipment of the school
during the time of suspension.
In speaking of the matter this
morning, r. Alexander, president of
the board of regents. said that the
action taken at the meeting last night
was the only course open to the board
as it is necessary for the school to
have actual money available before
anything could be done towards
keeping it going during the next year.
According to him there was evidently
a misunderstanding regarding the sub
ScrtptionS that We're made for the
school by parties at Weston and else
where in the county.
Those who had so subscribed main
tain that they thought they were sim
ply making a loan to the regents in
stead of making donation with the
hope of having the amount refunded
by the next legislature. However. he
does not believe that the false impress
sion was given out Intentionally bv

OF all the states that are now being
advertised in the east, Oregon and
Washington lead the van.
This is the statement of n. ]. Hall,
travelling correspondent of the Ma
tional Stockman and Farmer of Pitts
burg, Pa, who is now touring the Pa
cific Northwest for his paper in the
interest of intending homeseekers
from the state of Pennsylvania.
Mr. Hall says the interest in the
state of Oregon and Washington all
through Pennsylvania is unbounded,
and that thousands of fake advertise
ing circulars are now being distributed
in that state by alleged irrigation
concerns claiming to be near a gov
ernment project, and by townsite
schemers who claim to be on a tract
that will be set aside for government
irrigation.
Hundreds of well-to-do people are
being deceived by these takers and
selling homes and stock and are COM
ing to various places in the west to-
invest in some alleged town" or on
some alleged irrigation project" to.
find that they have been duped ana
deceived in the rankest kind of way.
In order to publish the truth about
this country Mr.. Hall decided that he
would make a personal investigation
and be in a position to advise home
seekers intending to leave Pennsyl-
vania for the west, what the actual
situation is here.
He says the east is actually flooded
with colored advertising circulars
painting In the most lurid manner the
advantages of scores of irrigation pro-
iects. where it is alleged the govern
ment is preparing to spend thousands
of dollars in reclamation work. and in
several instances Mr.. Hall has found
these schemes frauds of the first orr
der.
This kind of advertising is a detri-
ment to the state from which II
emanates and many people in the east
after seeing their friends buncoed in
this manner, become suspicious of
even the most highly legitimate and
honorable propositions that might be
presented to them.
He will explode number of these
alleged irrigation schemes when he
returns TO Pittsburg. and will tell his
readers the exact truth about Oregon.
He is delighted with Umatilla county
and leaves tonight for Walla walla.

Take Too Much for Granted.

London, July 19.-Baron Hayashi.
the Japanese minister here said to
the press correspondents that Russia
had appointed good men as peace
plenipotentiaries. Nevertheless, even
NJ. Witte and Baron Rosen had not
inspired Japan with confidence in a
favorable outcome of the negotia tions
I'VE do not know" the minister
added, what powers have been dele
gated to them and after the events of
the past IS months Japan puts faith
only in accomplished facts. The
terms will be committed only at the
conference. Then we will discover
what powers the Russian plenipoten-
tiaries possess"
The correspondents suggested that
the general opinion prevailed that the
japanese terms would be moderate.
II cannot see where people get such
and idea" replied the minister; "the
public evidently mikestakes the Jap
anese for angels"
Minister Hayashi intimated that ia
pan was ready to continue the war un-
less she secures suitable terms. He
