Pendleton Commercial association
| and the Umatilla and Morrow cOun-
ty members of the legislature are ar
ranging for a meeting of a large num-
ber of the members of the legislature
in this city within the next month
for the purpose of making an excur-
sion to Walla Walla to investigate the
jute plant at the state penitentiary
here, and to look over the situation
at the Weston Normal school at the
same time.
In view Of the fact hat the estab-
lishment of jute plant in the Oregon
penitentiary is to be one of the prom
inent questions before the next ses-
sion. the members from all parts of
the state have expressed a desire to
Investigate the plant at Walla Walla
thoroughly in order to be able to act
intelligently when the subject comes
before the session.
Also the support and extension of
the Weston Normal will be a leading
issue from eastern Oregon at the
coming session and the members de-
sire to know about the needs of the
school before discussing appropria-
tons for It.
The plan is to invite all the mem
bers of the legislature to meet in
this city, and out of the entire num-
ber perhaps one-third, or 80 may be
able to come to join in the excursion
to Walla Walla. The legislators would
then be escorted from Pendleton to
Walla Walla by a number of busi-
ness men and a large number of far
mers who are interested in the estab-
lishment of the jute plant. The party
could go over to Walla Walla on the
morning train and after inspecting
the jute plant, return to Weston on
special train and spend the afternoon
in looking over the needs of the Wes-
otn Normal
1t is hoped that the plan NAV be
carried out successfully and to that
end the Commercial ASSOCIATION will
begin making arrangements upon the
return of President Cohen, who is
now at the Lewiston fair.
There is an inclination on part of
the members of the legislature to be-
come acquainted with conditions and
needs in different parts of the state.
and this excursion To eastern Oregon
will give many of the members an
opportunity to see the country and
familiarize themselves with condi-
tions who are now wholly unfamiliar
with the actual needs of this section
of the state.

FRAUD CASES POSTPONED.
Illness of San Francisco Judge Up
sets Hcney's Plans

Portland, Oct. 11.-Much to the
surprise of lawyers and litigants,
there will be no more land fraud
trials In Portland this year. This is
the opinion of United States District
Attorney w. c. Bristol who returned
last evening from a trip TO San Fran
cicco and Los Angeles, where he as
sisted Francis ]. Heney in arguing the
Williamson, Gesner, Biggs and the
Henry Medium cases on appeal at
San Francisco. He also investigated
the Wisconsin case in Los Angeles.
The Illness of Judge Morrow of the
United States circuit court of appeals
at San Francisco is directly RESPONSE
BILE for the postponement Of the Ore
gon cases. Judge Morrow has over
taxed his eyes and has been ordered
to rest for an indefinite time by his
physicians.
He has therefore retired temporari-
ly from the federal bench at San
Francisco, and Judge Hunt, who was
to have tried the land fraud cases
here, has been ordered to assume the
duties OF Judge Morrow on the bench
of the court of appeals. Judge VOL
verton will also go to San Francisco,
taking charge of the insurance cases
which are to he heard In the district
court.

TO TRY MUTINoUs CoNvICTs.
Big Batch of Murdcr Cases in Missouri
Supreme Court.

Jefferson City, Mo-. oct. 1.-THE
cases Of Raymond, Ryan and Vaughn,
cnovicts who blew open the doors of
the state penitentiary in November of
last yaer, killing Guards Clay and
Allison in their wild attempt to es-
cape, will be given a hearing in the
criminal division OF the state SUI
preme court today. The convicts
were convicted of murder IN the first
degree and sentenced to be hanged,
but appealed to the higher court on
the allegation that Hiram Blake, a
convict killed during the mutiny,
was the slayer of the two guards. A
decision is not expected before next
month.
Among other important cases to be
tried at the October term of court is
that of Colonel "Zack" Mulhall, wild
west Oklahoman who accidentally
wounded an innocent bystander while
shooting up the Pike at the st.
Louis fair and who was given a short
term in the penitentiary because of
his bad craftsmanship; Joseph Gavin,
who killed two men while celebrating
the Fourth of July in st. Francois
county last year; and William Church,
whose pious cognomen did not serve
to prevent him from numbering his
foster parents in Warren county, for
which he was sentenced to death.

Butte, Mont, Oct 11.-F. Augustus
Heinze, who returned from New York
last night, gave an interview today,
which is expected to have a powerful
bearing on politics in this state and
result in the retirement from the po-
litical arena of Senator Clark.
Heinze announces he is for support
ing Roosevelt and sending a republi-
can senator and congressman to
Washington to stand by the president
in his antitrust policy, as Heinze's
faction of democracy in Montana Is
antitrust and independent, and has
repeatedly determined the result of
state elections, his announcement, it
is believed, will determine the politi-
cal complexion of the Montana cam
paign and mean the election of re-
publican congressman and repub-
lican senator as successor to Clark,
whose term expires next year.

Umatilla, Oct. 11.-(Special)- Fire
caused by spontaneous combustion
threatens to destroy over 500 tons of
coal in storage lit the o. r. & n. yards
at this place.
The fire started this morning and
has made rapid progress during the
day. All the available men in the
yards at this place and an extra gang
from Pendleton are endeavOring to
'heck the flames which are eating
INTO the immense piles at rapid rate.
The coal is stored on the ground
and the gases formed under the piles
cause spontaneous combustion AMI
the fire being next to the ground is
difficult to check
The supply of coal at this place is
not heavy and the loss of this amount
OF storage coal will seriously cripple
traffic at this point.
