Prof. Robert C. French, president
of the eastern Oregon state normal
school at Weston, was Gillian
county visitor for several days this
week, says the Arlington Record.
He is out soliciting scholars for the
coming school year, and so far some
20 of the young people of Gillian
county have promised to attend this
institution of learning.
This is considered one of the best
and most thorough schools in the
northwest, has fine grounds and build
ings and an excellent corps of instruc-
tors The state has appropriated .
goodly sum to this school for the
coming year, and a great many i'm
provements will be made.
For the past year Prof. French has
been teaching at the Y. M. c. A. at
Salt Lake City, and has the reputa-
ton of being one of the very best in
structors in Oregon. Norbert Laugh

35,O000O0 pounds of prunes, as
against 100000 pounds last year.
California does not seem to be hold
ing up so well. The crop around Santa
Rosa is from so to 20 per cent Of the
normal crop. At Healdsburg the crop
is enormous, making an average for
the whole section approximately so
per cent. Around Suisun the crop is
about rs per cent and the same at
Vacaville and Marysville. Yuba City
has a normal crop.
The growers OF that section at
recent meeting voted a 2A cent
basis. The estimate of the yield of
Santa Clara valley is 100000 900
pounds. The growers there are hold
ing on to their prunes.

BRYAN Is THE CHOICE.
Former Washington Senator Says Ne
braskan Is the Man.

Former United States Senator Geo
Turner and Colonel Alden J. Blethen
were yesterday selected by the demo-
cratic state central committee to rep
resent the democrats of Washington
at the reception to be rendered Will
liam Jennings Bryan on his return
from his tour of the world, says the
Seattle Star.
Without a single exception it was
the opinion that Bryan would be
nominated by the democrats in 1908
and that his popularity as candi-
date will be greatly in excess Of what
he was able to command in either OF
his preceding campaigns.
The committee decided to call the
state convention at Seattle on Mon
day September 24-the Monday fol-
lowing the republican state conven-
ton, which has been called for We'd
nesday, September 10. This will give
a state campaign of approximately
six weeks. There was no discussion
of probable state candidates at the
meeting of the committee.

While Umatilla county is harvesting
an immense crop of wheat despite the
hot weather, the Willamette valley is
also prospecting and her crops show
little effect of the extremely hot spell.
The prune crop will be especially
heavy this year in all the Willamette
counties The Salem Statesman pub
fishes the following promising review
of the prune situation:
In spite of the hot weather this sec
ton of the country is going to have a
heavy prune crop. A number of the
leading prunegrowers were called up
by telephone last evening and the
general expression was that the hot
weather did not do any excessive dam
age.
James Winstanley, who lives north
of Salem, says that perhaps 30 or 40
per cent of his prune crop is on the
ground His late apples also are
bleached, but the summer apples ap-
pear to be alright.
A. Vercler, who lives about three
miles from the steel bridge in Polk
COullly, says lnS uIoppllb VI pI uleS
is no larger than usual, so far az he
has noticed. at Is always expected"
he said, that the hot weather will
cause the prunes to drop to a large
extent, but 1 have noticed no more
this year than last. For my part 1t
would not worry me If so or 60 per
cent of my crop would fall, for the
trees have an unusually large load
this season and could stand to lose
that many. Besides that, I have no.
ticed no damage to the other fruit,
except that the apples are sunburnt
on the sun side of the trees
]. Pemberton, of Rosedays, is also
of the opinion that the hot weather
did no great damage to the prunes.
His orchard has been infested with
caterpllars. and only on the trees on
which caterpillars are found is any
loss noted which was caused by the
heat.
Heavier Than Last Year.
The conditions in general appear
about the same. About so per cent

PROSECUTION OF SANTA FE
PROGRESSING
District Attorney LawIer Declares s
Other Railroads Are Behaving Dur
ing Investigation Of Alleged
Illegal Payments

The Investigation into the alleged IL
legal rebates of the Santa Fe railroad
was yesterC W resumed by the grand
jury in the United States court at 2
O'Clock
No developments Of any particular
importance were brought out yester-
day, as most of the afternoon was oc-
cupied by the reading of records ana
documents sent to the district attorney
by the Santa Fe road.
The Investigation now in progress is
said by business men of Los Angeles
to have had the effect of instantly
stopping all rebate paying by any of
the roads. The other railroad author
tiles are believed to be in fear of an
immediate investigation into their
methods.
1t is very probable that the grand
jury will soon turn it's attention to
the freight transactions of the other
railroads operating in Los Angeles.
Regarding the rumor that secrets of
the grand jury had been communicat-
ed to outsiders, United States Distric ct
Attorney Lawler said yesterday that
he did not be lieve there was the slight
est truth in it. "All the men serving
on the grand jury are men of estima
BILE character" he said, land do not
believe that they could be bribed or
induced to reveal anything told to
them in secrecy"

MASS MEETING FOR MEN
WILL BE BIG GATHERING

The mass meeting for men under the
auspices of the Young Mems Christian
association at the new Temple audito-
rum Sunday, October 2S, at $3.50 o'clock,
Will be notable occasion. 1t is the be-
ginning of a series of greater mems
mass meetings that will be held by the
association from time to time.
The speaker for Sunday, Robert E.
Speer of New York, is one of four of
the most noted speakers for men of
this age, the Others being John r. Mott,
Fred B. Smith and DR.. J. Willis Baer.
The associa tion has arranged with DR..
Baer for an address at an early date.
Fred B. Smith promises to be with them
early in '07, and the association hopes
to be able to have Mr.. Mott with them
in the near future.
Much interest is being centered at
this time in Mr. Speer,. who made the
principal address at the Inauguration
of Dr. Baer on Friday 1t is said of Mr..
Speer that he Is at his very best before
an audience of men.
A senior now in Princeton university
says that "Speer has the brightest
mind Of any Princeton alumnus in our
160 years history, with the possible
exception of Aaron Burr, who afterward
became vice president of the United
States. AS a speaker to men he has no
superior and stands head and shoulders
above any other man in getting hold
on college students. Wherever there are
large student bodies such as gather at
Northfeld and Lake Geneva. he is
much sought for" The registrar of
Princeton Theological seminary says:
HE is the leader of young men in
Christian thought in America"
Although yet young man Mr. Speer
has worldwide reputation, not only
as a speaker. but as a writer as well,
and his travel in nom Christian lands,
together with his careful study of ex-
listing conditions there. have peculiar
ly fitted him to give much valuable in
formation on subjects pertaining to
missions. Notable among his literary
productions are such books as mis-
sions and Modern History" Missions
and Politics in Asia" He is also the
author Of many valuable Biblical works,
such as Remember Jesus Christ" "A
Young Mans Questions "a Memorial
of True Life" "The Man Paul" 1.-THE
Man Jesus Christ" and many others.
Mr. Speer is also frequent contributor
to such periodicals as, the Independent,
Outlook, Association Men and the Sun

RUGBY TEAMS WILL COMPETE
AT FIESTA PARK
Cardinals Arrived in Los Angeles Yes

of Blue and White This
Afternoon

The Stanford football team, which
arrived in Los Angeles yesterday, is in
splendid condition of the game with
Pomona today at Fiesta park. Twenty
players came south, and although a
husky bunch OF youngsters are not of
the beefy type which formed the Ameri-
can game squads.
Under the direction of Coach LanagaI
and Trainer Moulton the team has i'm
proved greatly since the game with the
University of Nevada last Saturday,
when Stanford carried away the honorS.
The team will not start with the same
line-up as in the Nevada game, and a
few new ones will be tried out against
Pomona. Despite the fatiguing trip
south every man is in good condition.
and will be ready to put up game
struggle to win from the Southern Cali
fornia team.
The number Of players with Stanford
Is not quite as large as the number
brought down with Berlx eley last week.
but II Is understood that there will not
be as many substitutes put in the game
and the number Of players will be
amply sufficient.
Coaeh flanagan of the Cardinals is not
saying much concerning his team, but
he is confident that they will leave the
field yictors. The showing made by
them this season is very good, and while
they are going up against hard propo-
sition flanagan does not appear to
worry about the outcome of the fray.

BERGMAN Is TWlRLER FOR
LOS ANGELES
Captain Dillin Takes His Old Position
at Flrst-Eaeer Replaces
Buckley Behind
the Bat
San FrancIseo, 4; LOs AnaeIes, 2


Capt Dillon got back into the game
yesterday, but his assistance and good
work did not keep the Angels from
dropping the fourth game of the series.
Bergeman was put In the box, and for
six innings held the Seals down, allow
ing but one hit. Buckley was also
taken out and Eager returned. to his
place behind the bat.
Bernard was still too i'll to take his
place in center and Ellis played that
position. Adams was taken out and
Brashear went to second, Toman keep
ing the position at short.
Through the first five innings neither
team was able to get man home. In
the second Los Angeles advanced Dill
Ion to third, but he was unable to get
further.
In the sixth Los Angeles scored.
Brashear, who had singled to center,
came in when Carlisle doubled to left
and the latter scored on sacrifice by
Toman. This made the score 2 to 0.
In the next inning Bergeman broke
down and San Francisco pounded him
for four runs. Spencer singled, and
Mohler walked Irwin doubled and
both scored. Walthour was hit by a
pitched ball and went to first.
From the sixth Los Angeles could not
score again.
Umpire Derrick was behind the
pitchers box and there was no jaw
fest. Only once did things look threat
ening. Irwin and Mohler tried to force
him to change his decision and call
Brashear out when he stole second.
Derrick did not look at it in the same
light that they did, and as result both
men were asked to go back to their
positions or leave the grounds.
They retired, and Brashear stayed at
second.
The Seals we're slow on their feet yes
terday, and not one man managed to
purloin base, while Los Angeles pur-
loined three of the sacks.
Carlisle did the heaviest hitting of
any man on the team, for twice he
singled and once banged the ball to
center field fence for two bases. Irwin
also got a two-bagger, but only four
first base hits were made by San Fran
cisco. Out of seven hits Los Angeles
could only score two runs and had five
men left on bases.
Brown was in the box for the Seals,
and as usual Spies was behind the bat.
The northern pitcher was very effective,
and with the good support of the team
held Los Angeles down.
Brown struck out seven men, while
Bergman was only able to fan three
of the Seals.
The score.
