STRIVE FOR FUND
PLAN TO KEEP NORMAL SCHOOL
OPEN CONTINUOUSLY.
According to The Plan of Action the
Subscriptions May Be Regarded
Simply as Loans.

Within the next two weeks strong
efforts will be made by the manage
ment of the Normal school at Weston
to secure the guarantee of sufficient
funds to maintain the school until the
next session of the Legislature, and
thoes in charge are confident they
will succeed, says the East Oregon
ian.
A meeting of the board of regents
was held Friday evening and the fol-
lowing members were present: r.
Alexander, president P. A. Worthing-
ton, secretary; j. H. Raley, w. M.
Blakeley, q. w. Proebstel and Jerry
Stone Also, President French was
in attendance to advise with the re-
gents i'll the course to be pursued.
After discussing the outlook and the
prospect for continuing the school
President French, P. A. Worthington
and G. w. Proebstel were appointed
as committee to solicit funds for the
school, and directed to report at an
other meeting to be held on June 80,
at which time definite action regard
ing the future of the school will be
taken.
In speaking of the matter President
French said he had no doubt what
ever but that sufficient means can be
secured to continue the school with its
full faculty during the next two years,
or rather until the next session of the
Legislature. A large proportion Of the
amount will be raised by the people
Of Weston, and he stated that assur
ances of support have also been made
by numerous people in other parts of
the county.
According to President French
money will be solicited as loan
rather than a donation, for it is fully
expected that the legislature can be
induced to reimburse subscribers for
the amount given, should the school
be maintained during the interval. In
fact, the strength displayed by the
| friends of the normal school at the
last session is regarded as almost posi-
tive guarantee that such will be done.
Az to just how much will be requir-
ed to keep the school going until an
appropriation can be secured, Presi-
dent French could not definitely say,
but intimated that $4,000 would be
sufficient. II is the desire to run the
school with the entire faculty, and
thus avoid imparing the usefulness
of the school.

Death of Pioneer Tanning

Pendleton, Jnue 19.--C. o. Tanning,
one Of the oldest pioneers in this
county, died late this forenoon at the
J. H. Raley ranch, on Mckay creek.
Death was due to advanced age, the
old gentleman being over so. For a
year or more past Mr.. Tanning has
been in i'll health, and of late he has
been gradually growing worse. Mr..
Tanning came to this part of the state
with the first settlers AZ years ago and
at first was a packer between Umatilla
The Athena press. [volume] (Athena, Umatilla County, Or.) 18??-1942, 1905-06-20

and the mines of Eastern Oregon and
Idaho. He was raised in tho cast and
came of a good family. On leaving
home he first went to the Isthmus of
Panama where he remained for time
and then came on to California in '49.
From there he drifted northward a
few years later. The old Tanning
ranch at the mouth of Mckay creek
was purchased by the deceased from
Dr. Mckay, when the country was
but sparsely settled, and he made his
home there for many years.

sumo of the church's history in this

COTTON IS JUDGE.
PORTLAND ATTORNEY TO sue
CEED LATE c. 3. BELLINGER.
w. D. Fenton Likely to Replace Him
As Attorney for-the Hartman
Lines in Oregon.

w. w. Cotton of Portland has been
appointed by President Roosevelt to
succeed the late Judge Bellinger as
United States district judge for Ore
gon. Inasmuch as Mr.. Cotton has
stated that he would be unable to
enter upon his new duties until Sep
tember 1, the appointment is to take
effect at that time. Senator Fulton
strongly urged the appointment of Mr..
Cotton, and the choice was also ap-
proved by the attorney general.
Senator Fulton has been desirous
that Mr.. Cotton should succeed Judge
Bellinger and has strongly urged on
him that be allow his name to be sub
mitted to the president. At first Mr..
Cotton was unwilling to consider the
suggestion, feeling that he could not
give up his position as general counsel
for the o. r. g. N. Co. He went to
California for short trip and while
he was there he received from Senator
Fulton another urgent request that he
reconsider his former decision, and
assurances were given that if he
would do so he could have the ap-
pointment. He replied that he could
not take the position and Senator Full
ton accordingly wired to Washington
that the negotiations were all off.
But the question was again broached
after Mr.. Cotton's return from Cali
fornia and he finally decided that he
would accept provided he could be al
lowed until September 1 to arrange
his affairs. Senator Fulton according
ly wired to tho attorney general that
Mr.. Cotton might be induced to ac-
cept an appointment. Mr.. Cotton
definitely agreed to do SO ON the condi-
tions named and Senator Fulton again
wired to the attorney genral acquaint-
ing him with the facts. The appoint
ment has followed with promptness
which bespeaks the satisfaction of the
president and the attorney general
with the selection of Mr.. Cotton.
Speculation has already arisen as to
Mr.. Cotton's successor as the legal
head Of the Oregon Railway & Navi-
cation company. W. D. Fenton is re-
garded as the logical successor to the
position, being the other legal roper
sentative in Oregon Of the Hartman
interests. Mr.. Fenton's long connec-
tion with the Southern Pacific and his
intimate acquaintance with local con-
ditions afford strong reasons for sup

the canal on which work will soon be
started is about $500 feet in length
$350,000 will be spent on it. 1t is
the intention to have the project
pushed with all possible haste. OF
course this will be but a small start
toward the building of the canal,
which, when completed, will be more
than eight miles in length. 1t will
possibly be five years before boats are
threading their way through the canal.

The house then got back to the bill
under consideration and discussed a
proposition to cut the number of bat
tieShips from two to one. Before the
vote was taken Baker created another
sensation by offering the following res
olution, which he read:
"That while this house views with

prehenSible as was the murder of the
Grand Duke Sergius it was no more
wanton than the massacre perpetrated

the horror of the people of this coun-

to that action, GrOsvenOr was bitter
i'll his criticism of Paker. whose ac-

Whether it was necessary or not
there was no doubt strong critical
opinion in the country, but he said no

congress express an opinion on that
subject. Grosyenor spoke of Grand
