BRYAN ON TAINTED MONEY.
VIII Not Serve IA College Which Ac-
cepts Such Benefits.

Jacksonville. H., Feb. 14.-Wil-
liam ]. Bryan, writing from Hong
kong, has sent his resignation as
trustee of Illinois college, and at
length declared that he would not
serve a school where the board of
trustees was in favor OF accepting
funds from Carnegie or other trust
magnates who are attempting to sub
sidize the colleges of America to pre-
vent teaching of economic truths.
The resignation was accepted.
1.-THE issue" writes Mr.. Bryan.
"seem ms to me a vital one, and even If
Carnegie refuses, the same question
magnate invites requests. Our col
lege can not serve God and mann
mon. 1t can not be a college for the
people and at the same time conf
mend itself to the commercial high
waymen who are now subsidizing the
colleges to prevent the teaching of
economic truths.
at grieves me TO have my alma ma
ter converted into an ally of plutoc-
racy, but having done what / could
to prevent ii, l have no other recourse
than to withdraw from its manage
ment. 1 regret that the action, If 1t
was to be taken, was not taken before
l gave my notes, for I regard the
money given as worse than wasted II
the college Is to be under the shadow
of great monopoly"

That there will be an unusually
good yield of wheat in Umatilla coun-
ty this year is now indicated, and
among those most closely i'm touch
with farming conditions there is now
feeling of satisfaction over the out
look.
According to County Commissioner
Horace Walker, who visited in the
Helix country a few days ago. the
outlook in that section could not be
much better He says that the grain
is now in much better condition than
is usual at this time of the year. and
as the soil is well supplied with mois-
ture, there is but slight danger from
freeze should the temperature turn
suddenly colder before the winter is
passed
The condition of the soil at present
Is i'm direct contrast to what II was
last year when the freeze occurred.
At that time the ground was dry and
dust was flying when the cold wave
came. Also the growth of the wheat
had been retarded as a result. and
the growing crop was not in condition
to withstand the cold.
However, during the present sea-
son there has been an abundance of
rain and the grain has thus gotten
well under way. O.
In the opinion of A. L. Knight, the
grain buyer, there is every indication
of a bumper crop this summer, as
there Is a much larger acreage of fall
wheat than usual, andsconditions thus
far have been ideal. Though 1t is not
yet too late for freeze, there is lit
tie danger from such source be-
cause of the reasons stated above.

That a townsite may be located up

iect is one of the possibilities of the
future.
4 movement is on foot in Washing
ton to provide for townsite with

Senator Ankeny's bill, which pro-
vides for the withdrawal of lands for
townsite purposes, has already re-
ceived a favorao Die report by the sem

probably become a lew in the near
future.
The purpose of the bill is to pro-
vide for the establishment of town
sites in connection with irrigation
projects under the reclamation act,
and also to authorize the secretary of
the interior to furnish water for such
towns and to dispose of the lands at

Walla line was made last fall and as
1t passes through a practically level
country little grading will be required,
and It is said that the line will be in
operation some time this coming
summer.
The Milton line will be a modern,
up-to-date electric line with perhaps
an hourly service between this city

Kansas City, Mo, Feb. 14.-"Sup-
pose that John d. Rockefeller on his
death left all his standard OIL possess
sions as gift to the nation to be held
in trust perpetually for all the peo-
pie. What then would the people
think of Rocke feller?"
This question was put to the state
attorney general, Herbert S. Hadley,
today.
"If Rockefeller did that" replied
Mr. Hadley, "he could not atone for
the almost incalculable moral wrong
he has done the nation. 1t would not
atone for the distinctly dishonorable
and commercially immoral trend the
success OF standard Oil methods has
given the trading and financial or
ganizations of America. In my own
recent Investigations of Standard Oil
I have the most positive and actual
proof of the demoralizing influence of
that company in Missouri.

Butte, Mont, Feb. 14.-By the
terms or transfer of the Heinze and

Thomas F. Cole, representing the
Amalgamated of North Butte and the
Gusgenheimer interests. Heinze will
receive $4,000, 0,000-one-half in cash
the other half in preferred securities.
1t is understood the sale is a step
in the formation of a gigantic cop
per combine embracing the Amalga-
mated holdings, Bonanza circle
group at Bisbee, Ariz., and the Bing-
ham consolidated mines at Bingham,
Utah, and the North Butte mine of
this city.
Rich Veins Were Tied Up.
For number of years some of the
richest veins in the district have been
tied up through litigation that is now
settled. Testimony given in the courts
during the last seven years has proved
the value in these idle properties run
ming into the millions. These values
are known, the ore in many cases be-
ing blocked out, but remaining as in
storehouse with the door closed.
The sale of the Heinze interests
will unlock the doors of these store
houses today and permit the with
drawal of the treasure they contain.
Among the notable properties that
have been idle for years and that will
soon again be counted among the big
producers of the district because of
the deal closed today is the Nipper
group, located directly west and north
of the Anaconda, and north of the
Parrot.
