The following letter giving the Of
ficial opinion of the attorney general
regarding the use of funds on hand
for defraylng the expenses of the ex-
pertinent station at Union, is self ex-
planatory:
Salem, November 10. 1905.
Hon. Walter NJ. Pierce.
Member Board of Regents State Ag-
ricultural College.
Pendleton, Oregon.
Dear Sir: Replying to yours of the
gents of the State Agricultural col
lege can use the cash on hand in the
bank subject to the order of the board
OF regents to maintain the Eastern
Oregon Experiment Station, and stat
ing that the money Is on hand in the
la Grande bank, and was obtained
by the sale of products from the farm
prior to the time when the Carter bill
went into effect, towit: May 10, 1905,
and also whether the board can use
the money derived from the sale OF
cattle sold at the sale in Portland,
September 81. 1905, permit me to say
that l am of the opinion that the
money in the bank can be used for
the current expenses of the experiment
station. The act is not retroactive,
and the money being on hand at the
time the Carter bill went into effect,
l think 1t can he used to maintain the
station.
The money derived from the sale
OF cattle In Portland. September 81,
1905, cannot. in my opinion, be used,
but must be paid to the state treasurer.
While the cattle were purchased with
the appropriation of 1908, they can
not bo considered as a part OF the
appropriation. They were not sold
until lately, and the 1903 appropria-
ton was exhausted, or that much OF
It, when the cattle were purchased,
and after they were so purchased.
they were simply property of the state
and being used at the station.
Therefore. when they are sold, the
money comes within the perview OF
the act of 1905.
Very respectfully yours,
A. NJ. CRAWFORD,
Attorney General

DIPHTHERIA IN SEATTLE.
Hello" Girls in Sunset OFFICES Are
Attacked by the Disease.

Seattle, Nov. 3.-Diphtheria has
broken out again among the operators
of the Sunset Telephone company.
DR., Ludlow, city health officer has
begun the work of ascertaining the
exact extent of the disease among the
girls.
Thus far there are only two cases.
Miss Maggie Rectinwold, 10. residing
at S43 South 18th street, and Miss Leo
Mounts, 10, residing at 1910 Belmont
have both been obliged to stop work.
Both are i'll with diphtheria.
Investigation revealed the fact that
both used the same receiver, one be-
ing a day and the other a night oper-
ator. One of them undoubtedly
caught the disease from hte other.
The telephone companies are sup
posed to infect the receivers regular
ly to prevent contagion.

YEsTERDAY,s STOCK MARKET.
Hardly Enough Business to Constitute
 Motive Power OH Prices.


 New York, June 7.-There was hard. ly enough business in the stock mar ket to-day to constitute motive pow CT on prices. Trading was listless to
 an extreme degree and the price move
 ment dragged and changed constantly
 within narrow range. The rank and file of the trading element gave them selves over to a discussion of the stock transfer tax and were inclined to agree that the burden of that charge was factor in the present. partial suspension of operations. As. case to test the constitutionality of the tax has been
 arranged for there was disposition to await its outcome in the making of contracts.
 Stripped of the usual operations of the room traders, the baroness of the market stood fully revealed. Invest
 ment operators or transactions by the banking element were not in evidence. Amalganaated Copper continued to oc- upy the foremost attention, and the
 movement of the general list was little
 more than reflection of the fluctua- tions in the market leader. The copper stock showed a feverish tone and it's persistent setbacks kept the early mar- ket unsettled in sympathy. It appear ed that measures of support were in- creased as Amalgamated Copper got lower, and this served to discourage the
 bear aggression on the stock. When these attacks were desisted from the tendency of the general list to advance
 manifested itself. The best explana- tion of the advance is that prices de- clined yesterday and the traders had proceeded as far as they dared on the bear side in view. of the present very narrow dimensions of the market. | There was a slight stirring of activity
 among one or two pools, including Reading and Southern Railway. The increase in the dividend rate on Inter- borough Rapid Transit had rather ar encouraging effect on the hopes of those who have operated in other stocks on similar expectations. The heavy output of anthracite for May was fa- vorable for the coalers. There was a growing conviction that no extensive operations were to be looked for in the stock market until the crop outlook be- comes better defined.
 There was some revival of peace ru- mors concerning the Russo-Japanese war, but the dealings here for foreign account were on a very small scale.
 The days gains were pretty we'll con- served owing to the almost total lack of either buying or selling in the stag nation of the late market. The closing tone was heavy.
 Bonds were easy. Total sales, par value, $2,265,000
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

WOMEN MUST KNEEL TO MEN
This Is the Law Among Many Tribes
 of East Central Africa,

This Is the Law Among Many Tribes
 of East Central Africa.
 Men in Afica, and especially in East Central Africa, believes that their wo- men are their interiors, and many centuries ago they made law that has worn itself into a custom that women must acknowledge this by always kneeling when they meet man.
 Duff Macdonald, who spent many years as a missionary in that coun- try, says that African women hold a most degraded position, and are looked upon pretty generally as beasts or burden, capable of doing all the hard work. When a woman meets any man. be it her hulIband or a stranger, at home or on the road, she is ex- pected to "taidiwaia" is, to kneel and clap her hand to the lord of crea- tion as he passes. Although a woman may have slaves of her own, she ob- serves this custom whenever she meets them on the highway.
 Macdonald adds: Whenever we saw a woman go out of her way with the intention of kneeling before us, though she carried g. hundredweight on her head, knowing that she would have to get up with it, we shouted: You are losing your way: this is the path and she took it, glad that she might dis pense with this custom"
 Certain it Is that if the African wo-

man kneels before a stranger or slave she prostrates herself most humbly before her husband-her lord and mas ter. He is her father and she is his child; he commands and she obeys; he may infiict punishment and she ac- cepts it.
 The title of father" is given to all old people; a man of thirty will say: T am onny a child; ask the old man. ] The woman must submit, of tourst. She is her husbands chattel; he has brought her for two skins of a buck, and this Is fair price for one wife. He often gets them in payment for debts.
 1 If a girl is not first wife she counts for little, as these Africans usually have one chief wife and three or four minor wives. A man who is married a few years is expected to have junior wives. The chief wife has the superin- tendence of the others and looks after household. The punishment she in- 1 ficts for laziness is to banish the junior wife from her meals until hung CT brings her to her senses. If junior wife is obstreperous she is put in Q slave stock.
 The authority of chief wife is not a
 matter to jest with. If junior wife gets unruly the whipping post is made use of. This does not annoy her lord, for African men have little sentiment
 for their wives and feel none for their junior wives. They are his chattels, having the same value as his cattle perhaps less. When a man is pressed 1 for money he usually sells his wife and
 not his cattle, He expects them to cultivate the soil and cut down the
 trees, and when he finds time or has i the inclination he helps them. l Mrs. Macdonald says that she a.
 unused herself by taking the loads of
 wood cut down by the women and placing them next to those of the men,
 explaining that civilized men try to re- lieve women of hardships, but they
 shook their heads and, answered that their lords would never submit to this
 humility.-Chicago Tribune.
