Effect of the Decision.
This decision RECEIVERS for the Roman
Church large number of houses Of wor-
ship and "conventos' throughout the Phil
ippine Islands. which are in very dilapi-
dated condition. and the allotment to the
Philippine diocese Of a part of the fund
the United States for their lands will come
in very handy. The total amount exceeded
100000. but we do not know how much
OF this sum wild be given to the Philippines.
1t Is generally understood that under an
agreement with the Vatican the seven mil
lions Of dollars now deposited in the Bank
Of England will be divided into four equal
parts. One part is to go into the treasury
OF the holy see. one part to the various
religious orders to whom the land be-
longed. third part Is to be set aside as
fund for the support Of aged and worm
out members Of these orders and other
mainder, amounting to 81, $50 600 In round
numbers. to be invested as q permanent
fund for the benefit Of the Philippine do
cese. which Is to receive the interest In
This understanding. however, has not
been officially confirmed. and probably will
not be until after Archbishop Harry Of the

to discuss this very matter, and the de-
tails will doubtless be arranged during his
visit.

DES MONIES, "A.
no PROMOTE THE DIRECT
ELECTION OF SENATOR'S
Convcncs September 5-Orcgon VIII
Have Five Delegates. Who Are Al
ready Appointed by Governor
Chamberlain - Movement Planned
With Oregon In the Forcrour.

Oregon is the first state to respond
to the invitation OF Governor Cummins
of Iowa. to send delegates to a con-
vention to be held in Des Moines on
September 5, looking to general con-
stitutional convention to amend the
United States constitution so as to
elect senators by direct vote OF the
people.
Iowa has really taken the lead in
the movement for a nationai conven.
ton and Governor Cummins hopes to
secure the sanction of two-thirds OF
the states for such a meeting at the
Des Moines meeting in September.
Yesterday Governor Chamberlain
appointed five delegates to attend the
convention in Des Moines, Septem-
ber s, as follows c.. r. S. Wood, or
Portland; Herman Wise, of Astoria;
Roswell Shelly, of Hood River; v. G.
Cozad, of Canyon City; and Bert Huff
man, of Pendleton.
Oregon Is the first state to put the
election of senators by the people in
actual execution, through pledges
contained in statement No. 1.
Other states will follow and it is
hoped that sufficient public senti-
ment will have been aroused in the
subject by 1905 to make this nation
al issue in the campaign.

Asphalt Trust Uses Tactics of
Revenge in Twenty One
Cities in the Country.
ALLEGED JEALOUSY OF ITS
RIVAL is THE CAUSE.
Letter to George Darveau Shows How
Other Cities Besides PendIeton Ha.
Been Harrassed by Legal Proceed
ings to Stop Paving-Failing to Sc
cure Contracts the Asphalt Trust
Seeks to Prevent the Work Secured
by its Rival, the Warren Construc-
ton Company.

The asphalt trust of the United
States is using the same tactics now
in Pendleton to block progress and
prevent development, that it is using in
every other city where it has not been
successful in securing a paving con-
tract.
Instead of conducting a legitimate
business in its line, it has adopted
rule or ruin policy, which is not
practiced in any other line of business
and which is not making friends for
the trust or its productions, to any
degree.
Failing to secure a paving contract
in Pendleton in an open bid for paw
ing. because the material offered by
| 1t was not equal to the material Of
| fered by the Warren Construction
company, the asphalt trust is now
seeking by every means at its COM
mand. it seems, to block the prog
ress of paving in Pendleton. Agents
| of the company visit the city regular
! ly. in the attempt to turn the MEM
| bers of the council and the taxpayers
against its successful competitor.
George Darveau, of the Hotel st.
| George, has just received a letter
| from the manager of the Warren
Construction company, which has Sc
cured the paving contract in this city,
showing the tactics employed else
where by the asphalt trust to prevent
public improvements where it has not
been successful in securing contracts.
The letter, in part, is as follows:
1.-The attitude of the asphalt trust
| in the United States and Canada has,
during the past five years taken the
following forms: First to circulate
scurrilous and anonymous reports
over the country in the effort to pref
udice the public mind against bitu-
lithic paving: second, falling in this
they then say they can make "some-
thing just as good" but fail to pro-
duce any actual results, and failing in
both of the first pretexts, they then
begin legal proceedings to stop i'm
| provements, on the slightest pretext to
| be found in the proceedings.
'on this latter line Of policy they
now have one action in Massachusett.
one in New Jersey, one in New York,
/ five in Ohio. four in Indiana, three in
Wisconsin, one in Iowa, one in WASH
| ington. three in Illinois and a number
in other places, making a total of 21
cities now tied up by this trust. In
all these places the trust has simply
stopped improvement for revenge,
through some traitor found among
| taxpayers who will permit himself to
| be used"

PROBLEM FOR STATE ENGINEER
He Is Asked TO Investigate Harvey
Squabble.

Burns, June 30.-There is trouble
brewing down in Harvey county over
irrigation matters. The Burns Board
of Trade has asked the state land
board to send the state engineer over
to make an investigation with view
to obiiging some of the companies
holding lands under the Carey act in
the vicinity of Harvey to proceed to
develop 1t or vacate. State Engineer
Lewis will soon go to Harney county,
the land board having made an order
to that effect at the last meeting.
A delegation from the Burns Board
| of Trade will be invited to accompany
/ the engineer to the disputed territory.
! 1t is claimed that some of the parties
are holding land for speculative pur-
| poses, and are not proceeding in good
faith to reclaim 1t as the law requires.
Two rival companies are operating
in the same neighborhood. The state
will not participate in the dispute
| further than to find out what has
been done by both companies to carry
out the provisions, of the Carey act
with reference to the reclamation of
arid land.

BEAN IS REVERSED IN THE SCOTT CASE

BY a decision given this forenoon
by Judge w. r. Ellis the decision of
County Judge Bean in the case of
the heirs of William Keuntz VS..

cision.

Keuntz he gave Scott a certificate of
deposit for $500, and also notes
amounting to s10S4. These Scott
maintained were offered him as gifts
but suit was brought by the Keuntz
heirs to secure the same, they claim
ing that the money and notes were
simply given to. Scott I'm trust. In the
probate court the ruling was favora-
BILE to the heirs and against Scott.
However, by his decision this morning
Judge Ellis held that the evidence
showed that Keuntz had intended the
money as n gift to Scott, and conse-
quently reversed the decision of the
